PAYS TO MAKE USE OF PAINT Apart From Adding to Appearance of Structure It Also Tends to Re- tard Deterioration, The foundation reason for painting is protection of the thing painted. The owner of property should never forget that. No one can look upon painting as an expense if he is con- vinced that'it prevents a greater ex- pense. There is, however, another great rea- son for painting and that is the appenl of pride in appearance. This is quite human. It is seen in the matter of clothes. Primarily clothes are to keep us. warm, but & suit is discarded while it is still warm because it Is shiny, out of shape, or slightly faded. In other words, one feels that it would com- promise their standing were they to; wear it. e So it Is with the painting of honses,“; both without and within. - In progressive, proud communltl(‘s.i houses are painted eyery three or four; years through pride in appearance. | Progressive citizens are not satisfied! with the looks of their houses after’ three or four ye‘nrs’ exposure to. weather. As good citizens we should not only’ see .that every person knows' that. structures will deteriorate if unpaint- ed, but we should also try to make people as proud of the appearance of their homes as their more progressive neighbors. We should deliberately set out to make them ashamed of their dingy homes which are a reflection up- on the whole community. This work is peculiarly one for local example and community co-operatin® Everyone knows that a M{iffirflned house Is likely to start the whole neigh- borhood to sitcking up. It becomes contagious. Every person who wants to see his community prosper will join in such & movement. ° Landscape Gardening. The great mistake made hy most novices is that they study gardens 100 much and nature too little. Now gur- dens in general are stiff and grace less, except just so far as nature, ever free and flowing, reasserts her rights in spite of man’s want of taste, or helps him-when he has endeavored to work in her own spirit. But the fields and wonds are full of instruction, and In such features of our richest and most smiling and diversified country must the hest hints for the embellish- ment of rural homes always he de- rived.—Andrew Jackson Downing. Pointed Advice. “Oh, doctor,” cried a wild-eyed man, “T am dreadfully afMlicted! The ghosts . of my departed relatives come and perch on the tops of the fence posts all around my yard when dusk is fall- Ing. T can look out into the gloaming any evening and see a couple of dozen &pooks solemnly sitting on top ot that many posts, waiting, walting, walting. Oh, doctor, what shall T do?” "Shnrnf:n the tops of the posts,” briskly replied the physician. Five dollars, please.”—Judge. Should Work Both Ways. I believe a man should be proud of the city in which he lives; and that he should so live that his c'ty will be proud he lives in it—Abraham Liu- coln. POISON LIKE UNTO Vemon of Snakes Professor H. Strauss, M. D., of the Royal Charity Hospital, says, ‘“The cause for an attack of gout, rheumatism, lumbago, is supplied by the increase of uric acid in the blood serum, the result of various causes, the most frequent of which is renal. Before an attack, one suffers sometimes from headache, neural- gia, twinges of pain here and there.” When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, when the back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; when you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach; or you have rheumatic pains or lumbago, gout, sciatica when the weather is bad, do uot neglect the warning, but try simple means. Take six or eight glasses of water during the day, then obtain at your nearest drug store ‘An-uric’ (anti-uric acid). This is the discovery of Dr. Pier?‘e,Anf n- uric” is an antidote for this uric acid isoning and dissolves uric acid in the Bgd much as hot coffee dissolves sugar. “Anuric” will ){ene rate into the joints and muscles, and dissolve the poisonous accumulations.* TtwlLetamp out toxins.

He foresces “intensive study undertaken by every municipal- ity to determine what can he manufae- | tured in that place.” Within limits he is probably right, but there will be many who will honestly hope that the limits will not be too widely exiended, [and who will belleve in all seriousness that an occasional municipality with- out manufactures has its®place in the scheme of things for a well-balanced ! nation. “Business first” may be a good slogan, but “business all the time” and “business everywhere” might weaken enthusiasm for desir- able industry by overemphasizing It.

Boosters and Roosters. The difference hetween the effective booster and the rooster is that the lat- ter has no responsibility and the for« mer must make good. There was a time when the boosters from a town would go’ on a visit lived in the biggest ¢ had the tall- est buildings, the largest stores, the wealthiest people, and so on, using words without stint simply because they wished to say something favor- able about home. They would be placed in the rooster class now unless they could show by facts and figures that their assertions were true. He wanted to Know. A well-known $t.

First my name was White, then I mar- rled your father's father, Mr. Smith and I became Mrs. Smith, and that Is your father's name. Then he died and I married Mr. Brown.” “And where is Mr. Brown?’ asked the child. “He Is dead, too,” said grandmother “Then what will be the name of the next man you will marry 7" “Well, I couldn't say right off,” sala grandmother. “T'll have to think about that.” TOO LATE Death only a matter of short time, Don’t wait until pains and aches become incurable diseases.
