REAL ESTATE IS SAFE.
Put Your Money I'm 1t and You Will
Reap the Reward.

Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Real estate as an investment is not al
Turing, but 1T is the safest that can be
made, and the proprietorship OF piece or
land means proof against disaster. Food
comes from the ground, and when the worst
comes the ground can always be appealed
to. Pessimists are predicting panics every
day, but the man with the hoe is protected
against their effects more than any other.
When crops are we'll titled they will grow
as abundantly during panic year as any
other. The products of the farm are in no
way affected Stocks may go up or down
and bonds may be valuable or worthless,
but the roasting ear Is as sweet and the
AS a safe investment nothing can equal
real estate. 1t Is bound to increase In
value because population is bound to IN
crease, and population fixes the value or
land. When Columbus and his pioneer
followers first located this country real
estate was worth little. Any one could
own any amount, but the ownership would
not enrich him. When Alexander Selkirk
was the island OF Juan Fernandez he
was monarch of all he surveyed, we are
told, and he could run the lines TO suit him
self, but no purchasers came along TO put
a price on its property. When Chicago
covered two blocks land was probably worth
1 cent a front foot. Now that she has
population of 100000, there is some prop
erty worth 5000 front foot. When Thorn
as jefferson purchased from France what
was then known as Louisiana and paid
SIS, 900 for it there were those who pro-
nounced the price exorbitant: Memphis
alone is worth this sum many fold. In the
year 1900 the real estate of this country
was worth, perhaps. one-sixth of what IL Is
worth now. AS people multiplied, the price
of land advanced. The value of real estate
in this country is rot computable; IL rs

A Paris correspondent OF the New York
Evening Post tells an interesting story
about alcoholism in France. The average
consumption OF alcohol at 100 degrees in
France in 1880 was 81. litres to each inhab-
liant. 1t was then drunk chiefly in the
form Of wine. A litre is little more than
a quart. The average consumption i'm 1900
was IS 1-5 litres, half in wine, fourth in
beer or cider, and fourth in spirits. AS
some districts in France are still reasonably
abstemious, the consumption in other dis
tricts Ia much above the average. Normandy

showing very serious results from IL. 1t is
not that the people get violently drunk but
that they keep themselves constantly drug

"All labor Sunday is prohibited. excepting
