THURSDAY. OCTOBER 11, 1917 GOOD SCREENS CHEAPEST Expert Says Copper Wire, Although More Costly, Will Outlast Iron Many Times. That it does not pay to use cheap fron screens on any building more valuable than a chicken house, is the opinion of Dr. J. D. Walters, profes- sor of architecture and drawing in the Kansas State Agricultural college. Persons erecting new dwellings should equip them with screens that will last many years, he says. “An average two-story house con- tainB upwards of two dozen openings ! . that should be screened,” sald Doctor , ‘Walters. The best screens are made \ ¢/ of a strong white pine sash and a cop- Tr‘ 2 per wire screening. Another grade is made of fir lumber and a screen ma- terial made of a composition called white metal. The cheaper grades are made of yellow Southern pine and cov- ered with common iron wire screening. “The first screen named is rather ex- pensive on account of the high price of copper, but it does not need to be painted, and-should last 12 years. The fron wire screen, on the other hand, will rust out the first season and rare- 1y lasts more than two or three years. “A screen door should be made with @ ‘hardwood sash and should be pro- vided with the best kind of spring hinges and a knob lock. There should be sufficient cross rails and cross braces in it to prevent sagging. The window screens are usually fastened at the top by cheap black varnished butts and are hooked at the bottom with a cheap hasp and staple.” WILL TRAIN CITY MANAGERS N : \\ Kansas State University Establishes Course Which Is First of the Kind in This Country. Kansas is preparing to establish in its state university a four-year course in city management, the first of its kind to be established in the country. When a man, or a woman either, is graduated from this course he will have had thorough training in every department of city affairs except pol- tics, and will go out to help run cities as a trained man goes into a factory or businesg. Prof. F. W. Blackmar, who 1s head of the economics depart- ment and’ has been instructed to pre- pare the detalls of the course, had this to say concerning the need for such a school : “No man can manage a business un- less he has a thorough understanding of its nature. The man who manages a city ought to be as experienced as an engineer, or a teacher. Why can- not universities train men for manag- ing cities as well as it can for other professlons? That is what we propose to do. The course of study for train- ~, ing city managers should be about one- half the ordinary classroom and lec- ture work and the rest laboratory in- vestigation into the actual needs of. municipal operation.” Pretty Exterior Finish Effects. Beveled siding, shingles and brick are used to finish the exterior of many houses now. The combination of these materials does not produce a patch finish, but they harmonize beautifully: The brick are used in the foundation walls from grade to the sills, and in the porch railing wall. i The sides of the house are finished i with beveled siding up to the second floor, and with shingles the rest of the way to the roof. If the shingles are stained some fairly dark tint and the “a beveled siding is painted some light color or white, with the windew sash dark, the effect produced is very pleasing. 4 = \ Trade Development Profitable. The competition of cities to secure trade for their manufacturers, whole- salers and jobbers is particularly keen. The development of package car serv- {ce, the expediting of merchandise, the extension of trade territory through co-operative effort in shipments and the covgring of districts, the quick ad- fustment of claims, the generating of enthusiasm for certain communities a8 trade centers—this work is vigor- ously and persistently carried on by chambers of commerce, with fleld sec- retaries, trade magazines and trade trips, and the money spent in this work returns a hundred fold in new, accounts and Increased orders. WES . Retail Interests Benefited. Through chamber of commerce work the retail interests in a community are brought together to work together for improvement in local methods of mer- chandising, for investigation and elimination of “fly-by-night” concerns and fraudulent advertisers. Credit ba- reaus are often maintained, and truth- ful advertising is a thing insisted upon. Universal trading conditions To~ B _cally are considered and worked out, "ot only for the protection of the re- ‘tail stores, but for the protection of the customer. House Numbers on Curbs. The house numbers at Pasadenas, Cal,, are placed on the curb in front of each residence, conspicuous num- bers being placed on a whige rectangle. At the street crossing the names of the #treets are painted ou the curbs. fi————*— — - - - ol NEW MINNESOTA AUTO MAPS 'We have just received a lot of new Minnesota maps, compiled and pre- pared by the Minnesota Forestry As- sociation showing lakes, canoe routes and automobile trails.

Y., for free book on Diseases of Kidneys. St. Paul, Minn—“For years I have suffered from disordered kidneys. My back ached terribly, also my head. I let it run on until just lately when I read in the papers of Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tab- lets, and having known of Dr. Pierce and some of his medicines I decided to try out Anuric. I have now taken but one_ box but have been greatly benefited by it. Of course, I couldn’t expect one box to_cure me, but know that the An- uric will cure me from the effects of the first box, as already my backache has almost entirely disappeared. I certainly advise everyone suffering as I did to take Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tablets."— Mes. F. E. MarsuALL, 1007 Gaultier St. St. Paul, Minn—“I am taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription with the best of results. A few months ago I suffered with dizzy spells and woman’s trouble. I studied up my case in the ‘Medical Adviser’ and decided to try the ‘Favorite Prescription” It gave me im- mediate relief and has strengthened and toned up my entire system. I can't say enough in praise of this medicine”— Mrs. Nick Saiti, 230 Granite Street, you'll see Copyright 1917 The Bouse of K uppeubeimer you need.
