Crying Need of More Houses for Rent.
Building News.

People are today being kept from
Greenwood by an absence of desirable
rental cottages.
There is no question about that fact.
Many men of family hold positions here
and are unable to have their loved ones
with them because suitable cottage in
nice neighborhood cannot be rented.
Greenwood needs more SIS to $25-a-
month and broom houses. Fifty could
be rented before the carpenters were
through with the const ruction work.
The capitalists who will fill this want
will not only benefit the city but will
secure fine income-producing invest
ment.
Considerable building is now being
done, but not on houses for rent. AL
most all the residences going up are for
individual owners homes.
Among them are the S11 900 residence
of Mrs. Marye, which will be the hand
soonest cottage home in Greenwood.
The Chenoweth Lumber Co. has the con-
tract, and reports excellent progress.
This company has just finished the
Sd 600 cottage of 1r. Brister, which

have already moved in.

SHOULD DOCTORS
TELL THE TRUTH.

The suicide of a man in the prime
If life. shortly after being informed
bv a physician that he would soon
become permanently blind, raises a
question of considerable clinical in
tfrest. namely, whether it is right for
a doctor to blurt out such terrible
to their repeated and insistent ques-
items To not few ina ginative per
sons sudden and complete loss of
sight. fter its full possession and en-
ioyment, is worse than actual death
itself. so that the latter becomes g
ready means of escape. Absolutely
hopeless and painful diseases belong
in the same category. The prOpriptN
of telling the patient that he is ctr-
faiuly doomed TO die in few weeks
or months or years, has been much
discussed by the medical profession.
but there seems to be no uniform
practice or code for dealing with such
pitiful cases.
R. BrudeneIl Carter says: Among
the many Difficult questions which Of
ten present themselves in the course
Of medical practice few are more diff
f1cult. independently of legal liabil-
tiles or obligations than those which
an opinion. especially an adverse
opinion, concerning the probable is
sue of an illness ought to be com
municated to the patient or his fant-
ily. 1t must be borne in
mind that an adverse medical opinion
is a distinctly depressing agency. and
that the business of the doctor is to
sustain the vital powers and to Obvl-
toward death" After stating that in
the majority of cases where the end
is in doubt it is perhaps justifiable
to inform the patient of his approach
ing death, he continues: There are
people upon whom the fear, or even
the prospect of death exerts dis
tlnctly paralyzing influence. Of such
a nature and extent that the doctor,
il aware of the personal equation in
volved, would hardly be justified in
any circumstances in allowing such a
prospect to be presented to the snf-
ferer. New York Globe.

"THE MAN WITHOUT A HAT"

Philip yerriIl Miehels. the author
of "Bruvyer Jim's Baby" and THE
Ultimate Passion, recently published

known in time as the man without
a hat for he never wears one save
when absolute necessity compels.
Winter and summer alike he carries
his hat in his hand while in the city
and when in the country never places
i. on his head or even takes 1T from
The house from one months end to
another. In his automobile he rides
hatless and now many New Workers
are adopting the healthful example
Mr Mighels has been following this
habit for seven years. He says he
wears his hats out carrying them
around 50 that people will know he has
them. Rather than appear eccentric
tt shop keepers Mr. Mighels almost
invariably puts his hat on his head
upon entering a shop or store. only

on the street aagin.

Mr.. Mighels. "And do you know

probably he deplores the custom
