OWN YOUR HOME.
One of the First Things to BE Thought OF
by "A Young Couple.

1t is all very we'll to rent for few
months if the house is pleasant and coy,
but perhaps the house is for sale, and
some one buys it, and you are Obliged to
move. The next house you secure is not
as pleasant, possibly the location is not
good, or you may be troubled with sewer
gas. BY the time you have moved half
dozen times you are heartily sick of it,
and wish you had home, and not mere
staying place. But it is cheaper to rent,
you say. There are no taxes to pay. 1
don't believe it is cheaper in the long
run to rent, and i did think SO.
should advocate buying or building
home. no matter how simple it might be,
in preference to everlasting renting.
Take into consideration the cost of
moving each time, the making over OF
old carpets to fit new rooms, the wear
and tear of furniture, and the general
expense that moving necessitaUes, and
am sure you will not say it is cheaper to
rent. Even though it is cheaper from
money point of view, it is not cheaper in
strength. for it is not you, my mascu-
line friends, who have the hardest part
of it, but your patient. self-sacrlticlng
wives. mothers and sisters who are
obliged to work early and late, before
and after the moving. If you haven't
the money with which to purchase a
home. have one built on the installment
plan. This will enable you to pay so
much month until your home is paid
for Thousands of homes have been Sc
cured for the working people, and those
unable to pay cash for home, by this
method.
1t is said that three moves are as bad
as fire." as far as destroying things are
concerned. People who have homes OF
their own are more economical as usu-
al thing, and are always planning and
devising ways for identifying them.
Again let me urge it upon every one to
have home of their own, even though
it has but two rooms in it.-National
Labor Tribune.

HOUSEHOLD eREuT,es.

In undressing keep the slippers on

them on as soon as possible.
-Molasses will remove the grass

The cellar should be well aired
every day, and also given a good white
washing whenever it is necessary to do

be thoroughly cleaned, and if it has
cement floor it should even be we'll

"A medical authority reports that 4
glass of water should be taken before
breakfast, because the secretion of mu-
Gus by the lining membrane of the stom-
ach is constant, and during the night
considerable amount accumulateS in the
stomach; some of its liquid portion is
absorbed, and that which remains Is
thick and tenacious. If food is taken
into the stomach when in this condition
it becomes coated with this mucus, and
the secretions of the gastric juice and its
action are delayed. A goblet of water
before breakfast washes out the tena-
cious mucus, and stimulates the gastric
glands to secretion. In the case of old
and feeble persons water should not be
taken cold. but warm or hot.

HARVESTING MACHINES.
They Were Used BY the Lowland Gauls IL
the Days of Pliny.

They Were Used BY the Lowland Gauls In
the Days of Pliny.
The invention Of the reaper, or more
properly speaking of a reaping machine.
is of unknown antiquity. The elder
Pliny, who was born when Christ was
but nineteen years of age, and who in
his mature years became historian as
well as naturalist, describes reaper
used in his day by the Lowland Gauls.
This clumsy device, which would hardly
compare with Mccormick of the year
A. d. 1889, consisted of wagon or cart
provided with shafts, into which one or
two oxen were yoked with their heads
facing the Dashboard; that is, provid-
ing, of course, they used dash-boards in
those days. To the hind part
of the cart, or to what would
be the fore part, this curious machine
being run tail first, was attached bar
provided with sharp spikes set at an
angle which admitted of their coming
together at the base short distance.
say an inch, from where they were
driven into the bar before mentioned.
Each of these early reapers were pro-
vided with two men, one to drive and the
other to rake in the heads Of the wheat
as they were cut or pulled of by the
sharp-toothed combing machine. A ma
chine, similar in all its details to tho
one just described was used in England
up to about the time of George III.
In 1899 an Englishman by the name Of
Boyce was awarded the first patent on
reaping device.
The first American patent was taken
out in 1903, by the firm of French &
Hawkins. Then came the Ten Eyck
and Cope and Hooper patents, which
were issued in 1925.
In 1925 a preacher by the name of Bell
invented rude reaper in Scotland,
which went the way of all the world
without practical results.
The first machine to command public
attention were those made on the plans
furnished by the Manning patent, which
was issued in 1881. Obed Hussey and c.
H. Mccormick invented the first ma
chimes, in 1888 and 1884, respectively,
which proved to the world that the har-
vesting problem was forever solved

Bacilli on a Bald Head.

DR.. Saymonne claims to have isolated
a bacillus. called by him bacillus crini-
vorax.'' which is the cause of alopecia.
1t is, he says, found only on the scalp OF
man, other hirsute parts of the body and
also the fur of animals being free from
it. The bacilli invade the hair-follicles
and make the hair very brittle. so that
they break off to the skin. Then the
roots themselves are attacked. If the
microbes can be destroyed early in the
disease, the vitality of the hairs may be
preserved. but after the follicles are in
yaded and all their structures injured
the badness is incurable. The follow
ing is DR.. Saymonne's remedy to prevent
badness: Ten parts crude cod-liver oil.
ten parts of the expressed juice OF
onions. and five parts of mucilage or the
yelk of an egg are thoroughly shaken
together and the mixture applied to the
scalp and well-rubbed in once week.
This, he asserts, will certainly bring
back the hair if the roots are not already
destroyed, but the application Of the
remedy must be very distressing to the
patients trends and neighbors.-Med-

HOW TO USE MONEY.
Every Wasted Dollar is New Link in the
Chain of Bondage.


The highest value of money is not its
value exchangeable for luxuries-for
houses, equipage, art, service, and so
forth. 1t is chiefly priced for the power
which it gives over others-for the old
potency, marked so long ago, which
makes the borrower servant to the
lender. But its highest value-is to
free the borrower from bondage to the
lender. The highest value of money is
in its power to purchase personal liberty
and independence. There are other
ways in which men gain emancipation
from personal servitude to other men,
but they are open to but few. A man
who has exceptionally fine talents in
literature, art or applied science Of any
kind may be a free man; but the great
mass must purchase themselves with
money. By this we do not mean free
dom from dependence upon our fellow
men. No man can escape that, and it is
one of the most beneficent of the fund
amental laws of nature that it can not be
done. Mutual dependence is essential to
the development of all the finer vir-
tues. But we do mean personal
servitude, the necessity of obeying an
individual master. Ordinarily this
may not be in itself hardship: but
emergencies do come, and come not in
frequently, when this servitude involves
the sacrifice of sacred rights and man
hood-often the sacrifice Of conscience.
Lack of knowledge of the highest value
of money leads to very general sacri-
flee Of its best use to inferior uses. Peo-
pie buy luxuries-better houses, living,
ETC.. not knowing that they are selling
their liberties for present qualifications.
Every young man ought to start out
with this one main object in life in
view, to win his freedom. 1t is an in
spring struggle, and one in which the
high motive will lift him over many
hardships. He may win it as scholar
win it by the highest possible develop
ment Of his mental and moral powers
by any thing that gives him superiority
in any kind of work. But in lieu Of
special talents, money will do it. Every
wasted dollar is new link in the chain
OF bondage.

A PLEA FOR THE FIREPLACE.

Grandma sat with her feecy shawl
Tightly drawn, for the air was chill
The first sharp frost had pinched the grass
And tinged the leaves across the hill.
While through the clear air, crisp and brown,
The shining nuts came tunbling down.
Grandma's room has an oaken floor;
Persian rugs Of quaint design;
Rare old paintings, marble clock
Costly hang.ngs rich and fine.
Her gown was silken and folds Of lace
Softly fell round her wrnkled face.
Grandma glanced through the shining pane
Down to the busy street below:
Ever and on went the tramp OF feet
AS the busting crowd swept to and fro,
But her thoughts few far from scenes like
these
She felt the clear air. sharp with frost;
She saw the naples tinged with gold;
And from the sunny threshing-foor
She heard the laborers talk OF cold;
While toward the wood pile, towering high,
The farmer glanced with cheerful eye
Again The wintry wind swept by;
Without, the storm and driving snow;
Within, the fireplace heaped with logs
The cheerful blaze and rudy glow;
And gathered close about his knee,
The farmers rosy children three.
Grandma sighed as the twilight fell;

And the children listened as children should

$50, when the house was hushed in sleep,
fingered yet DER the embers gray.
Covered the fire and wound the clock
That marked the close OF a busy day."
Grandma sighed: The years have flown!
No fire CLEANS on the cold he birthstone.
'SThey may be better-these modern ways
But the heart OF home was the freight glow;
And closer knit seemed the ties Of love,
As vines round common center grow:
They may be better-these modern ways
But the home-light shone in the che ering
