THIS I.,F,TTER FROM MR. GEO, W. BURT,
of Redford, Wayne County, Michigan, shows
how well satisfied the farmers of that section are with con-
crete roads. Nearly one hundred miles have been built
in Wayne County.
"Mr. Edward N. Hines,
Board of County Road Commissioners,
Wayne County, Detroit, Mich.
Dear Sir:—
Our concrete roads are, far ahead of the ex-
pectations of the majority of us farzners. Where
we used to be two days marketing fifty bushels
of produce, we now market twice as much in one
day, and can go to the city anytime we want to.
We do not have to wait till the roads are good
so we can go. Also, our horses and waggons
last twice as long.
Hoping you will keep right on building
these roads, and that the county will stand back
of this movement, 1 remain,
Yours truly,
(Sgd.) Geo. W. Burt
Redford, Wayne County, Mich.
Concrete Roads
are the best, cheapest and most satisfactory roads that can be built.
Best, because they permit bigger loads, increase land values and im-
prove conditions generally. Cheapest, because they are permanent
and require practically no repairs, which permits road taees to be
spent in building more good roads,. Most satisfactory, because they
are open to traffic every day in the year, lower cost of inarketing and
cost of living and increase the farmer's profits.
Good Roads literature telling all about concrete roada will he sent,
free, to everyone interested. Write to

THE MULE.
You couldn't call the ".%
However much yen boaet f Ifhn,
For pulchritude is not his suit,
To say the very most of hien;
His disposition, too, is not
Especially con reerdable.
And, though he'll often stet d alet .
His temper's utelepeadalre.
Hen; hard of rrouth mid oretinate;
I Acquaintance sem, reveals. fa Mtn
That it is sometimes tempting fate '
To get too near the heels of him;
And when he lays those long ears back
No beating or reprovieg him
' Will ever stir him from his treck
Urtil the spirit' e trevirg, him.
And yet—ond yet the mule w'll thrive
And labour with agility
Where horses cannot keep alive,
But die with great facility;
• IIis treatment frcquently is rough,
But he le quite tesigned to it,
• And he can toil with vim enough
When he makes up his mind to it.
Not always is a heavy stiek
The most effective charm to him
or, though his muleship's hide is thiek
Good ueage does no harm to him;
So look on him with kindly eye
And you will not repent of it;
Ilis market price is very high,
And he's worth every cent of it!

Canadian Crisninal Statistics.
According to the annual report of the
Department cf Justice dealing with
criminal statistics for Canada for the
year ending Sept. 80, 1912, there were
altogether 20,168 charges of major crim-
inal offences entered throughout the
Dominion, with 15,tie7 convictions.
This represents an increase of 20.31 per
cent in the number of charges, and of
25.2s per cent in convictions, as com-
pared with the preceding year.
The only Provinee4 showing decreage
es are Prince Edward Island and New
Brunswick. Both these ProviAces show-

the number being twelve per 100,600 in
the Island Province and thirty-eight in

Such diet will often cure, a uric -acid
skin des -ease that has resisted all treat-
ment for months.
In addition to dieting, the patient
must be very sure that the poison does
not remain in the intestines long enough
to be absorbed. For this purpose an
English surgeon has intrrduced the use
of liquid rariffin, in doses of two
tablespoonfuls, for it is not absorbed,
and acts only as a lubricant. Ask the
advice of a physician before you take
it however, for sometimes there are
reasons why it would be better to use
some other means of eliminating tho
food poisons.
Inefficiency in Housework

Food Poison and Disease.
There is, says Youth's Companion,
more or less disagreement among phy-
sicians concerning the significance of
uric acid in the system; many deny that
there is any such thing as the "uric -
acid diathesis." But whether uric acid
is the agent that produces disease, or it
is a product of some •other more sub-
tle poison, matters little to the patient.
He suffers from headaches, pains in the
muscles or joints, poor circulation, or
eczema, and he is less interested in the
precise cause of his trouble than in its
cure •
Undouhtay the poison, whatever it
is, is the result of the chemical changes
that certain kinds of food sometimes
undergo in the digestive tract. To re-
live the condition, we must attend care-
fully to two things—we must see to it
that the patients eats little of the foods
that produce these harmful toxins; and
that the poisbn that is formed does not
stay in the intestines long enough to be
absorbed into the system.
Meat is the source of most of these
toxins,a.nd any one who gives evidence
of suffering from uric -acid poisoning
eat less meat than he has been accus-
tomed to. although it is not always
wise to stop all meat at once. How-
ever, if the eczema or the joint pains
or other symptoms are obstinate, it
