London.—The - whisky and spirit prices hav® limited the power of the saloon keeper to profiteer in these ar- ticles, with the.result that the prices of wines have gone up with a run. A glass of port, which at one time was 8 cents, is now 24 cents. Mixed ver- mouth has risen to 24 cents a glass, or, even to 36 cents in some West End es: tablishments. By the bottle prices have been in- creased in the case of Italian ver- mouth from 40 cents the litre to as much as $1.80, and the price of inferior;| French vermouth-is $2. Other wines’ are double or treble pre-war prices.

We would -paraphrase this line by saying, “Go through all the .streets of the city crying, ‘New homes for old! New homes for old!'” «“How can this be done?’ you ask. “By overcoating old houses with stuc- co,” is our answer. There are hun- dreds of frame or wooden houses in Cleveland that are built in the style of architecture that prevailed about fifteen or twenty years ago. - These houses are substantial and solid, -but out of date in appearance. By a little alteration, “widening the porches, en- larging one-story bay windows and “Ls” and eliminating gingerbread and giving the whole an overcoating of stucco, you get a house as good.as new, and in fact in some particulars, better. . The advantages of this plan apply not only to the house improved as-a single ;residence, making it more at- & tractive architecturally- and covering it with a waterproof and fire resisting exterior, but it also-applies in cases where ‘it is desired to convert an old single house into a- double or four family. A small additional investment will convert what is now a rather homely and dilapidated single resi- dence into a.very attractive money- making . investment.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.: ! y 3 USE FOR OLD GAS LAMPS Abandoned Poles..

Down in his cellar there was some old window screcning. It was the work of a moment to rip the screen itself from the frame, take the family ladder to the sidewalk and wrap and bend the screen to the prongs of the| lamp frame. Soil from the yard; seed from the war garden; water when needed—and “1o, in a very short time each lamp post had its hanging garden. — Popular Science Monthly. Beauty in Well-Kept Lawn. . A fine stretch of lawn is in itself a most satisfying picture. The artist- planter frames it with trees, shrubs, vines and puts in a few bright touches " of color with flowers. Perhaps on one side stands the house, still but an in- cidental or small part of the picture, but of course the more important one and to which all others must bow. But the garden picture still persists and is not marred thereby. “Forced” Sites Unsatisfactory. A building site may command a truly magnificent command of view in all directions and yet _be so void of landscape possibilities and so difficult of approach as to place it beyond con- sideration, for it could never be made homelike. No “forced” site will satisfy the owner, or observer, who knows. Lemon Purifles Water.

Chicago.—Well, sir, after what hap- pened the other day Orin Dunning of: 350 Englewood avenue is beginning to believe fate indulged in a mirthful fillip when he was named. Orin is large, loose, ‘and shambling and a soulful look atfoms his Ethiop- ian phiz. On the day in question he provided himself with a portentous six-gun and laid a course for the deli- catessen of the Miles. Agnes and Alice Crane, young women of his own race, at 6651 South State street, it being Orin’s notion to. provide himself with a free snack of victuals. Now, Agnes and Alice keep- store with the aid and encouragement of a nondescript hound called Sport. Sport does not take ikindly to strangers, nor did he now relax his vigilance when he beheld @ sad and nervous king of the Congo* poking a revolver toward Miss Agnes Crane. - He/'slid quietly round the end of a counter and quickly and expertly took a mouthful of Orin’s per- son, . & Swat!

Thus distracted .from the husiness of robbery, which until this moment had been most important in his mind, Mr. Dunning opened’ his capacious’ mouth and gave vent to a shriek which might well have been heard out at One Hundred and Eighty-ninth street.

Mr. Dunning dropped .his revolver and Miss Agnes snatched it up with amazing celerity, thrusting the muzzle into Mr. Dun- ning’s midriff, which is a terrifying thing to think upon.’ “Come here, Alice,” said she to her sister, “you take this smoke wagon and keep it aimed at this gen'{lemnn lessen he gets fresh whilst I call the police.” Orin’s Tactical Error. Alice did as she was bid. But she must have been nervous, for when Agnes returned, Mr. Dunning had re- summed possession of the revolver and now it was Alice who stood stretching her hands aloft. This was where Mr. Dunning erred. He should have loped away and not remained to gloat. Miss Agnes, returning, was annoyed beyond measure. She grabbed up a bottle: of ketchup- snd let it fly-with such zéal that the bottle bashed Mr. Dunning abaft his nigh ear, spatter- ing him with the rich, red condiment and stretching him faint and helpless upon the floor, bathed in the gore of preserved tomatoes. Then the police came. Orin abides in the Grand Crossing jail and Miss Agnes wants to know who is coming across for the price of a bottle of prime ketchup. BEAR HOLDS EXPRESS CAR Bréaks From His Corral and Mes- senger Takes to His Heels. Vicksburg, Miss.—Breaking from his crate in an express car, a big black bear being shipped from Shreveport to an Alabama point had complete pos- session of the car’all ‘the way from Shreveport to Meridian—a’ 300-mile ride one Sunday. s s ‘When the bear broke loose the mes- senger scurried from the car and bolt- ed the door. It was not until Meridian was reached that an {mprovised bear trap permitted the capture of the ani- mal. On the journey the bear had a pleasant time, eating a Crate of chick- ens and three five-gallon buckets of ice cream.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well- known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve.your bowels; removing all ‘the " body’s urinous waste, else you have backache,#sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable phy- sician at oncé or.get from your phar- macist about four . ounces of Jad- Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and. has been used for generations to clean and - stimulate sluggish kidneys, also_to neutralize acids in ¢the’urine so. it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. 3 4 Jad Salts is a life_saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delighéful, effervescent lithia-water drink. WANT AD DEPT. 3 NOTICE .
