they drank tea and coffee regularly at 
home. In June this number had been 
reduced 50 per cent. Teacher, parents, 
and the public generally favored the plan, 
and reported noticeable improvements in 
the children. 
The significant relation of malnutrition 
to mental vigor and success iu school 
work was indicated in a number of ways. 
Tn open-air classes, 50.5 per cent of the 
children were seriously underweight, but 
about 80 per cent recover normal weight 
and health and return to the regular 
classes after six months to two years of 
rest and feeding in which milk has an im¬ 
portant place. Classes of mentally de¬ 
ficient, children showed an average of 51.8 
per cent malnutrition, indicating that 
they should have the same treatment as 
those of the* open-air classes. 
Children In a school mainly of Italian 
parentage showed the highest percentage 
of normal weight, while many children 
from well to do American homes showed a 
high percentage of malnutrition. ex¬ 
planation for the failure of some children 
of high mental ability to complete the 
work of their classes was found by refer¬ 
ence to their health Sind nutrition records. 
Tn this brief period of experiment it was 
demonstrated that this nutrition work by 
daily milk service is of great, value for 
better health and physical development 
and general school progress, building up 
in the lives'of many pupils the foundation 
of vigorous health essential for normal 
future growth and the resistance of in¬ 
fection. It becomes, therefore, an im¬ 
portant means for the betterment of the 
community and of the State.

The throttle-governing principle used in the 
Waterloo Boy Kerosene engine makes this engine 
ideal farm power. Its charge of fuel is ignited 
every second revolution, thus variation in the 
desired speed of the engine is done away with— 
power is transmitted smoothly and constantly 
to suit the varying loads. This smooth-trans¬ 
mission of power makes belt machinery last longer 
and do better work.

Wall Paper 
Who Pays for the Roads? 
I believe it would be of great interest 
to your many renders if you would have 
prepared and would publish an article on 
ho pays the rust of building and main¬ 
taining our highways?*’ 
I believe the highway tax system is 
becoming burdensome to both farmers and 
the railroads and should be remodeled. 
I believe the motor vehicles should pay a 
larger portion of this expense than tiu*y 
are now paying, and the money derived 
from licenses should be applied to the 
highway fund in proportion to the 
amount received from Hocuses iu the 
various counties. Farmers living on 
crossroads are handicapped, for the reason 
that the crossroads are being neglected, 
and nearly all the money raised for high¬ 
way purposes is being expended on the 
roads lined b.v motor vehicles. According 
to the present law in New York State, the 
method of paying for new highway con¬ 
struction is as*follows: The town pays 
15 per cent, the county 35 per cent and 
the State 50 per cent. 
The town pays yearly for maintaining 
the macadam and concrete roads the sum 
of $50 per mile. In our town of Johns¬ 
town we have 35 miles to maintain and. 
besides, a fund is raised for maintaining 
other roads ami bridges and for removing 
snow. Altogether the highway tax rate 
is high. This .year it is $1.25 per $100 
of assessment, while the rate f<<r all other 
purposes is $1.22, making a combined 
rate of $2.47. 
To be personal, the assessment on m.v 
farm is $11,500. Mv highway tax this 
year is $144.50, and the State and county 
tax is $141.03, making $285.53, besides the 
fee for collecting. Last, year it was over 
$300. Now consider the position of the 
railroads in regard to this highway tax. 
Owners of railroads have paid for the 
land they occupy for construction of their 
roads, and are taxed just the same in 
proportion as the farmer for constructing 
and maintaining motor vehicle roads that 
come in direct competition with their 
railroads. Ts it, right? Motor trucks are 
getting the short-haul business from the 
railroads, and pleasure vehicles and taxis 
am getting the short-distance passenger 
business. 
I do not own a share of slock in any 
railroad, but. just the same I do hot think 
it is right that they should be obliged to 
pay such a large proportion of the ex¬ 
pense of building and maintaining roads 
fur their competitors In business, f have 
in mind a short piece of macfldftin road 
(two miles) that was completely ruined 
iu one year h.v motor trucks in hauling 
crushed stone from a quarry in our town, 
and had to he entirely rebuilt on that 
account. 
I believe the license fee on motor vehi¬ 
cles should be higher, and that the 
moneys raised thereby should lie largely 
applied to the cost, of the building and 
maintenance of the highways. One would 
he led to think that the value of farm 
lands would bo increased by the con¬ 
struction of these concrete roads and 
macadam roads, but it does not appear 
to he the fact. 1 know of farms that have 
concrete roads running past them for sale 
at a less price than could have been 
obtained 15 years ago, when they had a 
mud road and no highway tax to pay.
