ENGINEERS MASTER DANGER
ON "DEAD MAN'S CURVE"
The increased easualUes on "Dead Men Hills" all over the nation, due to the great volume of
motor touring, has resulted in American engineers getting busy devising a metnd to eliminate the
measure. Here is a picture and diagram of the problem solved. It is on "'l 1 Man's Curve" be-
tween Washington and Baltimore. The most dangerous curve has been • elimina, by a fill--as shown
in the .iagram. Speeding machines, formerly lnable to take the curve, plunged over a 25-foot emo
bankmen into tle field below The strin$ of army tru are shown on the lower end of the new '*$."

IIome Gardens Help
Cut Cost of Living
War gardens played their part in
the great mobilization of resources
in war time--thrift gardens now
have their own big job in helping
households to feed themselves. The
ceasons for thrift gardens are many
and various. The reasons that exist-
ed last year and the year before are
still present. Thrift gardens will
produce food where otherwise nothing
would be produced, they will reduce
family food bills, they will produce
abundantly in proportion to the time
and effort devoted to them, and in
addition to these reasons is one pe-
:uliar to this year.
Reports of the U. S. Department
)f Agriculture indicate that there
will be a material reduction in com-
mercial production this year, due to
the fact that the commercial pro-
ducers can not secure labor to work
the normal acreage. They claim
that they have paid high wages in an
endeavor to keep up production, but
now have reached the point where
the returns will not justify the con-
tinuance of the expense.
If the reduction of commercial gar-
dening becomes a fact the obvious
result will be fewer vegetables and
higher prices.
The logical remedy lies partly in
home gardens. This is a remedy,
moreover, that will work no harm
even if the 'commercial acreage should
be up to' normal, as any surplus of
fresh vegetables may be saved by
canning, drying, and other means of
conservation and the surplus kept so
that it will be useful next fall and
winter.
.Secretary of Agriculture Meredith
has the following to say on the sub-
ject: "All discussion about the high
cost of living aside, one way to have
food at a reasonable cost is to grow
it in your back yard. The garden
can not do it all but it can help won-
derfully, especially with such impor-
tant necessaries as potatoes and
beans.
It is true that the war taught the
Americans the value of home garden-
ing. While the complete statistics
of the production in gardens are
r),m ,q" :h,,rdeon. accmm,mh'd hy lho lacking, it is the belief of the De-
r.,.m.r's rathe,...i,'. V,,0er, sp,m, S,,- partment of Agriculture aud the
State workers in this fiehl, based on
wide observation, that more food was
produced in home grunions In4 year
than in the war year 017 191S."
While the cost ,t! fo,t :tL ],,>(n
is nearly double what it was i; 1:)!4,
the cost of planting and ralsing a
garden has increased very little.

We would like to call attention to
the fact that we did not compete with
Dayton school for any prizes at the
Community Fair. We had literary
work consisting of compositions, letter-
writing and poetry, also arithmetic, etc.
while their work was of an entirely
different naiure, hence there could be
no eompetiioin, We would also like to
call attention to the fact that we won
three of the ilve "Oovey prizes" offered
during the winter for the best essays
in the county on "IIoosevelt." We won
the prizes in tim 8th, 7th and 6th
grades. "These essays were on exhibit

Better
than Pills
\\;
\\;
OU WILL NEVER wish to take another dose of
pills after having once used Chambcrlain's Tab-'
lets. They are easier and more pleasant to take,
more gentle and mild in their action and more reli-
able. They leave the bowc!s in a natural condition,
while the use of pills is oRen followed by severe
constipation, requiring a constant increase in the
dose. Every bottle guaranteed by your druggist.
