The Machine
How lucky is the great machine,
Set up with cunning art.
It luns unwearied and serene
A flywheel is its heart.
Its stomach is the furnace great;
Its muscles are of steel:
It does not halt or hesitate;
It does not blink or feel.
Its veins are filled with fluid fire
It knows no bliss or pain;
No fierce unsatisfied desire
Persuades it to complain.
When it is ill no nostrums
quench
The energy that thrills—
A man comes with • a monkey
wrench
And cures it up or kills.
And when it cannot do the tasks
It has performed for years
It seeks the scrap pile and it asks
No sympathy or tears.—Ex.

Good Roads Prevpnt Disease
Few persons, on first thought,
would see any possible connection
between good roads and good
health. Yet the state board of
health of Kansas says that good
roads can and will prevent disease.
How/ J5y the removal of weeds
and trash, Weeds and trash pre-
vent the prompt evaporation of
moisture and promote retention of
ground water. This makes ideal
breeding spots for mosquitoes, flies
and other insects, which are known
as disease carriers, not to mention

be it.

from among us, her soul is at peace j
with God, and our loss is her gain, j

itself is destructive of insect larvae,
especially mosquitoes—a well
known fact. Dry roads offer ped
trians, and notably children who
are compelled to walk to and from
school, dry shoe- and feet. While

it is a well known fact that cold

resistance of individuals and make

disease by setting an example to
adjoining farm premises. Good
roads promote travel and set an ex-

iser are bordered by them. The
comparison of a well-graded, clean
highway with an unkept barnyard
adjoining is sufficient to stimulate
every land owner to a cleanup.
