If any were deluded, it was by his own distorted or vain imagining, and not because of any promise made by the women. Disappearing Homes, “Tho larger the city the fewer the indi- vidual homes in proportion to population,” ex- presses a truth of deep significance in Ameri- can life. The gradual disappearance of the private dwelling is apparent in every large city, and {s most conspicuous in New York. During the present year a net loss of sixty “private dwellings” was recorded in the metropolis, over and above the number erected. Apartments, hotels or business houses were reared on their sites. The record is not surprising, considering the congested population, and the restricted area of Manhattan Island, but the loss is the more regrettable because New York already bolds the unenviable distinction of the lowest percentage of homes to population. Restricted area and high cost of land are prime causes, but are not wholly responsible for disappearing homes. The principal cause {s to be found in the changing habits and living ideals of succes- sive generations of people, A like tendency is noted in Boston, “Where,” says the Transeript, “the old fashioned home, with its own front door and no front door for anybody else, is nlso obsolescent, though by no but do not radiate glory as assistants in auto- | means In the same degree as in New York.” The mobile getaways.

Similar conditions obtain in Chicago and 8t. Louls, where the distance to home sites of moderate cost operates in favor of close-in temancy. We need not look eastward for signs of the present day tendency. The remarkable growth in modern apartment houses in Omaha during the last few years visualizes not alone a change, but a distinct demand. The service they offer, and conveniences afforded without labor, ap- peal to a constantly growing number of city dwellers, and tempt capital to more lavish in- vestment. Nevertheless, the individual home and home ownership thrives and multiplies on its superior merit, and its grip on the hearts of familles. With ample space for expansion, and cost suited to all purses, the home open to the four winds will long remain the best guaranty of family life in Omaha.

A cold hearth tells us that the fire is low, and lcy feet that blood is anemic and lacks eners: Health, strength and force, to freely circulate the blood fs in resronse to nutrition. Lack of full nutrition is not serfous I it is only temporary, but If the lack of nutrition is dally and continnous, bodily vigor suffers and the foundation for disease is lald.

Cold in the feet, congestion In the head, and headaches, are symptoms of constipation, & combina tion which s most of the joy out of life for a goo many persons. Warm extremeties, feet and hands, every one should have, and every one who does not have them lacks something essential to thelr comfort and suc- cess. Chilled and clammy feet are unnatural, and whoever has them has a long lead towards something worse later. Full nourished bodies are not likely to have cold extrémeties. 1 can hardly recall a case of habitual cold feet in & person who was not malnourigshed and constipated. Constipation, too, is a symptom of mal- nutrition caused by eating the usual mixed dlet Rightly considered, health and warm of the body de- pends on complete nutrition, and disease on mal- nutrition. Every form of bodily discomfort from cold feet te neuritis, also colds in the head, and even fatal dis- tases, are after effects from imperfect diet and mal- nutrition. In health the blood is warm to the tips of the fingers and the ends of the toes, keeping the skin warm, dry and elastic, Tight shoes, alto tight hoslery, tend to prevent free circulation and warmth In the feet. Women in high heels and thin, tight shoes limp and suffer from painful, cold feet in winter and at other times, which is one explanation why so many women ride in cabs and street cars, even for short distances. Tight, narrow shoes, high heels, tight waists, and the habit of candy eating, cause in many women be- numbed, tender, and icy feet, and age them early.

People of every age had their false medical systems, and many of them, the same as with us. Women could wear handsome shoes without resoct to high heels, heels not over one inch high. Neither is it necessary that women crowd their feet into pointed shoes or slippers to appear well shod. 1 see stylish women who wear serible shoes once in a while; women as & rule wear cold-feet-causing shoes. Neither do men always have ample and comfort- able shoes, because shoe salesmen fit their customers too closely, a longer and broader shoes would in most instances serve the feet better.

Twice Told Tales. And He Patd Willingly. A Beloit man went to Kansas City recently on pleasure bent and left Friend Wife at home. Shortly after his return he and his wife were invited to a party. The wife laid out her husband's overcoat and lest she should forget her gloves, she placed them In the overcoat pocket. On the way to the party Friend Husband put his hands In his pockets, discovered the gloves and im- mediately had a nervous chill. A few minutes later, at a Gu:“:lm in the street, he threw the gloves away. Al the party the wife asked her hus for her gloves. i 'hl'. not had your gloves,” he replied “Yes, you have; I put them iIn your pocket before started.” ?r::u'n‘l: the husband saw a great light and the nex cost him #7650 for new gloves.—Beloit (Kan.)

SPEAKING OF SPEAKERS. Many a speaker who thinks he s fluent is only frequent. The worst thing about a speaker who #ays he hardly knows where to begin is that he seldom knows where to stop.

A toastmaster is like a boy shooting off fireworks: Often he thinks he fs setting off a skyrocket and it proves to be. a sauib.

Washington Post: Although expressing complete confidence in Secretary M- Adoo personally, Senator Smoot can't re- alst reflecting on what some folks can do with figures. Pittsburgh Dispatch: A French journal- visiting the United States says Uncle £am will not be welcomed at the peace congress. But lack of welcome does not keep everybody at home. Detroit Free Press: Champ Clark re- gards'Roosevelt as a candidate “on whom the democrats must figure.” Perhaps he's hoping T. R. will give the demo- crats the same assistance he did in 1912, St. Louls Republic: The value of the principal farm crops in the United States this year was something more than 3, 500,000,000, and yet there are those who think the present prosperity is all a matter of war munitions. Louisville Courfer Journal: If Mr. Arch- bold has filled his coal bin and bought his new overcoat cannot the price of gasoline be put down low enough for the rest of us to go after a dime's worth of coal In the limousine because it is too cool to carry it home without an over- coat? Indianapolls News: Probably the vast maljority of the people, not being direct- Iy interested, don't care enough whether @ tax is imposed on bank checks and gasoline to say out loud that they don't care. But the fellows that are opposed to such taxes will doubtless do enough talking to make the average good. Christian Sclence Monitor: North Dak- ota recently has had an ‘“‘appreciation week.” From the smallest rural com- munity to the state capital, from the raliroad hand to the governor, from the farm school to the state university, all along the line there has been an effort 1o “see the best” that there is in people, institutions and causes. What has been sought has been found. Pessimists have been suppressed. The good has been given encouragement. The common- ‘wealth now feels happler, goes about its business with more confidence, and has more assets in its social treasury. AROUND THE CITIES. Bloux City's sale of $260,000 of refunding bonds, bearing 4% per cent, brought a premium of $487.0 from & Chicago house. The city treasurer figures an an- nual profit of §1.500 on the transaction.

In the six months ending November 15, 1,149 persons were injured by automobiles during daylight hours in Detroit, and 540 at night. The automobile city entertains no hope of ending the crippling by Christmas. Chicago is moving for a reduction in the price of gas below the present 80-cent rate.

The patriarch of southwestern cowmen, Richard D. Miller, of Denver, has just ‘“crossed the range.” Miller brought the first big herd of cattle Into Colorado and developed a famous blooded stock ranch some thirty miles below Denver. Before he entered the stock business Miller fought in the Mexican and the civil wars and was one of the band which attempted to capture Denver and annex it to the southern cause.

One of the recent heroes of the war was a poodle, which, during a Paris fire, caused by a German bomb, dashed Into the tenement house and brought back in his mouth a doll, which was welcomed with glad cries by the little French “mother.” Many have believed that periscopes for use by soldiers in the trenches have been developed only since the beginning of the present war in Europe, but a confederate Veteran of the civil war reports that his regiment, while near Kenesaw mountain, “captured & sharpshooter who had a small looking glass attached to the butt of his musket so that he could sit behind his breastwork, perfectly protected, with his back to us, and by looking into his #lase sight along the barrel of his plece.” In the center of Kildine, an island in | the German ocean, is a curious lake.
