RECORDS IN ROADS. i O During the last ten years, the United States has gone in for road construction on a scale never before known, to the world. It is estimated we have spent in that time ten billion dollars for road building and mainten- ance and have more than half of the world's 6,500,000 miles of highways. Money spent for roads pays divi- dends in promoting agriculture and industry, facilitating business and drawing strangers from other places; on social or business pursuits. A county or state without good roads is condemned to retrogression. In spite of our . record building activities,, the demand for roads is more persistent than ever. Our sec- ondary road system must now be rapidly improved to properly open up territory contributory to main high- ways. SAUERKRAUT FOR MEASLES. A Dutchman.had the measles and was about to die. The doctor told his wife that she may -as well let him have everything he wanted; The sick man asked for sauerkraut. He fin- ished three bowls of it—and got well. The doctor made a note that sauer- kraut' was good for the measles. Some time later, an Irishman had the measles and called the same doctor. The doctor decided to profit by his experience with the Dutchman and prescribed sauerkraut — three bowls of it. The Irishman died. \ The doctor revised his notation— \In case of measles, sauerkraut will cure a Dutchman every time and kill an Irishman sure as hell.\ am The Good Sense of Saving Saving is, and always has been, a mark of good sense—\horse sense.\ The saving habit has always iden- tified its possessor as a person worthy of faith, credit and respect.

NEW YORK.—Active operations In many cities of mall box thieves, who open bank communications to custom- ers, containing, details of their ac- counts and cancelled checks showing :helr banking signatures, and use this material in perpetrating check for- ;eries, have led the American Bankers Association to Issue a nation-wide warning to its members with ihstruc- :ions for combating this form of crime. The warning as sent out by James E-. 8aum in charge of the association's Protective Department says: \Heavy losses are being sustained ,'hrough cancelled vouchers and state- lients stolen from the mail boxes o£ bank depositors in apartment and of- fice buildings, thus divulging the- de- positors' balances and supplying mod- els for forged checks. As a step to put customers on guard against these methods, banks are urged to in- struct every depositor to whom they mall statements of deposit accounts on the last business day of each month to notify them promptly if such state- ment are not received by the. close of the next day. \Also hanks should educate deposi- tors to safeguard blank checks and cancelled vouchers as they would money. Such paper stolen by forgers Boon puts real money in their hands. If all blank checks and cancelled vouchers were securely kept in safes Instead of filing cabinets or desks, the check crooks would be denied their chief stock in trade, namely, genuine blank checks and signatures. Warn- ings to depositors against leaving blank or cancelled cheeks accessible to sneak thieves or burglars should be sent out at once. \Estimates broadcast by surety com- panies indicate that Individuals, mer- chants, hotels and others outside of banking are shouldering more than 99 per cent of the total amount of for- gery losses. The bulk of forgery loss on checks is, sustained by those who are willing to risk accepting them, without reliable proof of Identity or title of the presenter. \Years ago the Protective Depart- ment o£ the American Bankers Asso- ciation adopted the slogan, 'Strangers are not always crooks, but crooks are usually strangers.' If those outside of banking could be. prevailed upba to observe this rule and think about it when considering accepting a check for their merchandise or services, for which they are also asked to give a substantial sum in cash in change, one of the biggest aids to the forgery busi- ness would be denied, the crooks.\ Learning From Failure We learn wisdom from failure much more than from, success.

This will hot only make the food more palatable but more diges- tible.. The fruits in season are the most acceptable.

Betrayed High Office The first tmppachmcHit of a high government official In America took place on June 27, 1689. Sir Edmund- Andros, royal governor of New Eng- land, was Imp'eachod by the Colonial house of- dpptitips nt Boston and sent to Engh-rd TRY THIS FOR IVY POISONING. —o— After exposure to poison ivy or poison oak, thorough washing of the skin surface with strong kitchen or laundry soap having an excess pf alkali, is a good precaution. Lather well, and rinse several times in run- ning water. Pay especial attention to the finger nails and tender skin between the fingers. This treatment if carefully done, may be tried even after inflammation has developed, to lessen the affected area, and the in- tensity of the poisoning. As a pre- ventive, a solution of.l part of iron sulphate in 5 parts of water has been recommended. This solution should be freely applied to the parts likely to come in contact with the ivy and allowed to dry. By this means some measure of protection may be afford- ed to persons who are engaged in work that makes it difficult to avoid contact with the plant. A 5 per cent solution of potassium permanganate applied locally is reported to be a very good remedy, The brown stain caused by this solution will gradually wash off, or it may be removed more rapidly with lemon juice. Solutions of cooking soda^or Epsom salts are ordinarily as helpful as any local ap- plications. In the early stages, oint- ments are not recommended. Around the false Damage From Dampness. Moisture and warm weather to- gether may do a lot of harm in the household in summer. Mildew may attack clothing or shoes, gloves, or even books, and rust will play havoc with metals, especially iron and- steel, particularly when any of these ar- ticles are in damp, dark places. If the house is closed up even for a short time, thought should begiven to articles which may be harmed. Stoves should be protected with a coat of oil. Water should be drawn out of hot water or steam heating systems, if this has not been done earlier in the spring. If the heating system is re- filled each year, it will give longer service because the accumulation of sediment and rust will be removed. If the kitchen is damp see that the utensils which would rust are packed away in some dry place, and clothing is stored if possible where i t can be reached by light and air. The warm air of summer can hold, and does hold, more nloisture than- is held in cold weather, and this moisture condenses on cool surfaces, to cause dampness in places which are normal- ly free from excessive moisture.

Young Ladies Have Jolly Time at Merrick's Point During the week of August 4th, the Misses Ina Constance and Wini- fred Stumpf, of Rosiere, Lor'etta Peters, of Three Mile Bay, and Reba Mason and Frances Constance, of Cape Vincent, spent a most delightful time at \The Great Tomorrow\ camp, at Herriek's Point, near Chaumont, Mrs. Milford Gosier, of Rosiere, was the chaperone. During the week swimming, hiking, fishing, boating and camp fires were enjoyed. On Wednesday evening a party was given the campers by Maurice Peters,, of. Three Mile Bay, George Constance, of Rosiere, and Karl Mason, of Cape Vincent. Weiners and marshmallows were roasted and soft drinks served. An attendance of about fifty, includ- ing parents and friends of the camp- ers, added to the amusement. Before breaking camp the girls en- joyed a mock wedding ceremony, at which Miss Stumpf became the bride of Miss Peters. The ceremony was performed by Miss Constance. The bride was attended by Miss Mason, and Miss Frances Constance acted.as best man. The bride, who was be- comingly attired in her great grand- mother's wedding gown and veil, car- ried a> pretty bouquet of wild carrots. Miss Mason wore an orange gown of taffeta silk and carried a bouquet of tiger lillies. After the ceremony the bride was presented with a chest of silver. The bridal party was very much, annoyed by the presence of several cameramen.. At the business meeting the girls decided to return 'the third week of August, 1930. The following officers were .elected for the ensuing qyear: President, Reba Mason j vice-president Winifred Stumpf; secretary, Ina Con- stance; treasurer, Loretta Peters; historian, Frances Constance.
