The Christmas shopper who buys now will
save time, patience and perhaps money.
He will find better goods. get better serv-
ice and feel better over his purchases. He
will be able to distribute his bounty with
better judgment and so spread more joy
than he will II he waits until the eleventh
hour. He will furthermore contribute to
the comfort of the already overworked
store clerks and managers, whose life Is
made all but intolerable by the procrasti-
nation Of the thousands who put off their
buying until the last hours. In short, the
forehand Christmas buyer is a blessing to
humanity. and it is a marvel that his is

An Abused Flag.
,e New York Mail and Express.

Every one who has set foot outside his
native land will echo the wish that appears
as text at the head of a pamphlet on ''the
dissertation of the American flag" which
has been sent to members Of the present
Congress. II cordially hope" says President
Roosevelt, 'That there will be national
flag legislation" Some of the baser uses
to which the American flag has been put
are catalogued in this document 1t Is de
faced with advertisements Of beer sauer-
kraut, candy and patent nostrums;" 1t
serves as awnings, horse blankets, mer-
chandise covers" These are it's baser uses
but not its basest. In the Philippines it
has been adopted as the emblem Of places
Of low resort, and in Paris and other CONT
mental cities 1t proclaims the attractions of
vicious picture shows and the efficacy Of
remedies for repellant diseases.

Good Roads.

: Perhaps 1t is a good omen that the first
bin introduced In the House Of Representa-
tives was one to appropriate money TOR the
esta blishment in the Department OF Agri-
culture Of bureau Of good roads. Good
roads would do good to all men, The United
States, instead OF having the worst roads
within the limits Of civilization, should have
the best. 1t Is a curious contradiction that
Americans insist on fast railroad trains,
fast ships. fast malls. fast horses and fast
autos, but also apparently insist on slow
roads. Az q city should have good streets.
so should the country have good roads.

Found In Its Equipment.
"The modern apartment hotel,' said
the manager Of such an establishment,
sis likely to have for n of Its fea.
lures a complete telephone system,
with an exchange Of Its own. Every
tenant has a telephone In his own
apartment. with local and long dis.
lance connection. He can have this
telephone right beside his bed, IL he
wants it there. SO that he can telephone
TO anybody anywhere without getting
up, IL he so desires. But II Is for com
munication within the house that this
telephone system Is brought into the
Gost common and constant use.
at is not necessary, for instance, to
send a boy up to the apartment TO as.
certain IL somebody whom n visitor de-
sires to see is in. We simply telephone
from the office to the apartment and
ascertain the fact In one-tenth the time
1t would take q boy to go and come.
The tenant has a perfect means Of In
slant communication with the Office
without leaving his apartment at all.
"The manager or superintendent on
his part has communication from his
Office with the chef and with the ell
gineer and with the housekeeper, and

without any running to and fro. with
out any loss of time.
"Such an installation costs some
thing. but on the other hand a house
thus equipped requires only half as
many hallboys as n without such
equipment
"a newer wrinkle Is the providing Of
a safe deposit box for every tenant.
A section of the big house safe is
divided into separate small locked CON-
partments. one Of which Is set apart
for each tenant.
Though the apartments may not be
designed for housekeeping. the tenants

"In one house there have been built
for example. refrigerators designed to
hold an ice block of a specified size, the
Ice being supplied by the house. the
tenant having nothing to bother with
about 1t at all. At fixed intervals. &C
cording to the weather. the house re.
