The subject of good roads is of such vast Importance to every community Unit one scarcely knows where to begin in a discussion ot It. So great Is the need of better roads In Douglas county that nearly every farmer who comes to town now has something to say about the situation.

What kind of roads to build, how and whero to build them are the questions that naturally arise when the subject Is mentioned. Permanent Roads, a book published In Portland, Bays that concrete Is the proper ma-toriul out of which to construct permanent highways. The argument Is good and is as follows: A country road which cannot become muddy, and which will at all times give a Bure footing for horses, would be the greatest Improvement In rural conditions that has been mudo In some years. Concrete seems to be the only material which can combine as many quulltles at a sufficiently low cost. A decade from now country roads" of concrote are bound to be common and will rival any city pavements in efficiency under all weather conditions.

Ab a benefit to a general coniiiiJ-nlty, there can be no question of those dorived from good roads. The farmor and the merchant of today complain of the high freight rates charged by the railroad companlos, when, sb a matter of fact, it costs the farmer more in most states to get his product to the railway station than It does to pay freight charges to the market, What It the cause of this? Principally poor roads. The farms of any community should be Its pride. They are the foundation of Its prosperity, and prosperity continues to be the greatest factor In the betterment and progress of the country. Qood country roads would, therefore, add to the farmer's profit, and.

In bo doing, would add to the profit of the town merchant by reason of making the territory adjacent more prosperous. Getter roads will, comparatively speaking, draw him nearer to town, place him in closer contact with the commercial world, resulting in more frouqent buying.

F. Friedmann's serum cure for tuberculosis was the subject of a loug report by Counsel General Thackara at Berlin, sent to congress by President Taft. Thackara said 1118 persons have been treated and while the cure has not yet been accepted- by the medical profession, the results warrant the attention of congress. The report was submitted as the result of a resolution by Senator Gore. Counsel Thackara says majority of the cases treated were children, and most of them were apparently successful.

It will be a long time, however, he stated, before the remedy becomes available for use throughout the world. Dr. Frled-mann says he Is only able to produce the serum In limited quantities, it being obtained from cold blooded animals through a tedious and lengthy process. Consul Thackara said the Berlin Medical fraternity did not believe tho new serum should be acknowledged good untlll facilities were afforded to various physicians to observe tho effects of the preparation under their own administration, and alsu to determine whether the cures were permanent.
