Home Trade Philosophy.

Every man who spends 50 around
home where only dollar was spent
before Is a benefactor to his race.
Plenty Of men who froth ut the
mouth when they discuss the centrali-
zation Of government are fostering
the Capitalization of trade by patroniz-
ing the big mail order houses which
try to gobble up the business Of local
merchants.
One way to stand by your own town
Is not to sit down and write orders for
goods to be shipped from the city when
you can buy them to just as much ad
vantage right at home.
A town with no business has no bust
ness to be town, and 1t won't be q
town very long after Its business is
eliminated by too much dallying on
the part Of Its citizens with the mail
Ter business.
The citizen who patroniZes home In
duStries without sec King an excuse Is
the sparkle in the wine of life, while
the one who prefers to spend his mon
ey outside of his own community is
the dregS.

the Spokane chamber Of commerce has
outlined the following topics for dis

proaches, artistic and practical schemes
for river bank improvement, erection
and supervision Of statuary, fountains
and other ornamental works in parks

light posts and other public utilities
situated in or encroaching upon streets
and public places. regulation Of bill
boards for the purpose Of their grad.
ual elimination. especially in the resi-.
dence districts. and more effective ar
engagements Of street lighting. This is
very comprehensive review Of i'm
provement needs.

Town Planning.

In an address before the congress of
horticulturists in jamestown some
weeks ago speaker said. ut is the
duty of village improvement societies
and park superintendent to direct
their attention to the preparation of
(town) plans rather than to expend all
their efforts and money on small
area or other minor improvements at
haphazard or upon general clearing up
operations, street lighting and the like
that should be executed by the town
officers through their regular appro'
priations." He added that public spir,
1t, wisely directed by a we'll thought
out plan, could transform town in
from five to eight years, but he said
there must be locally a leader in the
movement "who is big enough to grasp
the whole conception and persistent
enough to hold fast against criticism
until it is we'll under way" This
means self sacrificing effort at first,
but ultimately it is sure of general APP
proval. and happily almost every town
contains such q leader.

WHOLE TOWN BETTERMENT.
Plea For Beautifying Both Residence
and Business Sections.


w. c. Winsborough of Kansas City,
Mo-. who is greatly interested in civic
Improvement, does not believe that
Kansas City should stop at cleaning
up the downtown streets and beautify-
ing the business section. but should ex-
tend it to the residential sections.
In stating his views to Kansas
City Star reporter he made the follow
ing good suggestions for Improvement
Of towns:
1.-THE 800 block idea and the LOO
block crusade are fiue attempts at
civic betterment. and they should be
followed by similar efforts for beauti
city. A clean downtown business dis
trict should go hand in hand with an
attractive collection Of homes in which
these business men and their families
live. This identifying idea should be-
come prevalent in Kansas City. as 1t
has in Cleveland, Philadelphia. Brook
Ign and other eastern cities. Several
years ago the womens auxiliary of the
Manufacturers and Merchants associa-
ton took up the matter of interesting
Kansas City people in improving the
appearance of their homes by the
planting Of flowers and the improving
of their lawns. Prizes were offered.
and the success of the movement indi-
Gated the widespread interest taken in
it. With the abolition Of the auxiliary.
however, the movement died and no
one has started it again."
Mr. marlborough was one of the
leaders in the home Improvement cru
SADIE and IS still believer in its ben
eiits, not only because of the added at
Effectiveness presented by the homes.
but as good citizen maker and moral
agent.
1.-The planting of flowers and shrubs
Is not alone an advantage to the house
holder because Of the added beauty
they give to his property" he said.
"but it gives instruction to his growing
children. Every child is benefited by
knowledge Of plant life. The city
children learn too little of ordinary
botanical facts. BY the institution Of
such movement these disadvantages
Of city life are removed. 1t could be
inaugurated with little trouble, and
once started it would spread Of itself
No man will watch his neighbor beau
tifying and cleaning up his property
without trying to emulate him. The
city health and police departments
could greatly assist in the crusade by
compelling property owners to obey
the ordinance concerning cleanliness"

The Value of Water.

The daily consumption Of water
should be from four to five pints. The
functions of the body are carried on
only in the presence of and by the aid
Of water. Digestion. assimilation, tbs
sue changes and elimination are de
pendent on sufficient supply of wa
ter, and any amount less than normal
impa.vs these functions. Without free
drinking of water there can be no free
removal of Objectionable material from
the body. With the free Use OF water
the removal will often take care of it
self. Drinking cold water increase
arterial tension, reduces bodily temper
allure. increases the action of the H.

THE DUST IN THE AIR.
Without It tho Heat Of the Sun Would
Be Unbearable,

DO OUOCdVdpIcs
The usefulness Of dust is proclaimed
by science despite all the housewives
Of all the ages. Dust is part Of the ma
chinery that produces cloud and rain.
1t is also protection from the sun.
Without 1t the suns rays would be I'M
bearable. The reason that sunburn Is
more easily acquired on the mountains
than in the lowlands is said to be prob
ably because Of the comparatively
dustless air of the mountainous re-
gions.
A dustless atmosphere during rain
would mean much greater degree Of
discomfort than rain ever brings.
Trees and buildings would be dripping
with moisture, our clothing and the
exposed parts Of our bodies would be
constantly wet. umbrellas would be
clasSed as useless curioS. and instead
Of trying to conquer the dust In the
house we should have to face much
greater enemy in wet floors and drip
ping walls. In every drop Of rain and
in every particle of cloud there is a
particle Of dust. A sample of air may
be taken anywhere and the number Of
its dust particles accurately determin-
ed. Dust. too. produces the glorious
sunset effects in the evening sky. thus
causing the faint obscurity we call
twilight
Twilight is always reflected glory.
The light comes from the sun, which
has in the meanwhile sunk below
the horizon. The reflector is an upper
layer Of dust. Were the air perfectly
dustless there would be no twilight.
Darkness would Immediately follow
the SunSet.-Exchange

the Lowell museum. Booth. who was
then In the zenith of his power and
fame, was billed there for three nights.
The play was "Richard ILL.," Kimball

was considered young man Of prom
Using dramatic ability. On the open

Of Lord Norfolk failed to show up.
Booth was in despair. At last some
one suggested that young Kimball
knew the lines Of that part, and he
was cast for 1t by Booth.

My nerve returned. and think it must
have been the devil that prompted me
to balance myself on one foot and
drawl out with Yankee twang:
"'Well. I don't know. Mr.. Booth. 1t

Instantly the whole house was in an
uproar. As shout after shout Of laugh

sides with merriment. After the play
was over he came to me and. placing
his hand on my shoulder. said in IA
