Our grandmothers used to get a
lot of old nails, place them in a ves
sel containing vinegar and allow
them to remain until the acetic acid
in the vinegar produced an Iron so*
lution. This concoction was then
taken by nearly every member of
the family during the spring and
fall and It rarely ever failed to
I strengthen and beneJlt the person
taking it. The old way was good
but there is a new way that is far
better. Science has discovered a
way to manufacture Iron ao that it
can be dissolved In syrups and elixirs
and given in definite doses. One of I
the best and surest ways to take
Iron Is In Rydale’s Tonic. This
remedy is a combination or Iron.

Treatment Uitd at an Automobile
Factory That Improves Roads.
At an automobile factory In Toledo.
O.. the manufacturers believe they
have settled the dust nuisance and
pointed a way to a phase of road im
provement. The plant covers a large
area. At the rear of the factory build
ings Is n circular speedway, while be
tween the buildings are driveways.
These roads ure subjected to very se
ven* use from testlug cars constantly
passing over them, going out and re
turning to the factory, generally at
high speed; heavy traffic of large
trucks heavily loaded, touring cars and
other vehicles. Naturally those drives
and the s|>eedwa.v created lots of dust
and required constant rcjuilr.
Much cxtK>riu)cuting has l*ecn done,
am! the factory |»eop!e say they have
finally hit u|k>n a good treatment which
gives excellent results and is very eco
nomical. The factory lina Its own steel
treating furnaces, some oil heated, and
It is the sediment from the crude oil
ust*d lu the heaters, spriukled with an
ordinary can over the surface of the
roads that has Improved the neighbor

President Miller of the Galvn (III.)

that over twenty-five tulles of road hud
l*cou graded and as much dragged un
der the auspices of that organisation,
lie said further: “Wo have specimens
of toad where the grade was complet
ed in this manner and dralntllo land
where the water line was within oue
foot of the Hurfnce and through which
for many years |>eoplc wmlcd huh deep
In mud lu the spring and sometimes In
the fall when It rained. Hut these por
tions of the road are now linn and ns

that the highway coimulsslcmers had
ls'en making contracts with the farm
ers for dragging their roads at $s a
mile and that the cash system of road
working Is heartily approved by Inith
the taxpayers and road users.

at Liverpool to Imprison me at After
the sinner had served his term .Towott
and others helped him, nnd lie obtained
a colonial editorship where his past
was unknown. He did wed; was n
new man. One day a tornado swept
off the roof of his office. Under the
roof was discovered a batch of old
English papers which had t»eeu placed
there nnd forgotten after the mail had
brought them. He set meiritiers of his
