ing a proper hue to the latter.
Just a word or two about the bathroom.
This is probably one OF the most ill-treated
rooms in a house, 1t Is always crowded
in as though It were an after considera-
ton. or course, in a very small home, a
small bathroom is entirely excusable, for
the space is valuable for other purposes,
but in a large home it is very desirable to
have a good-sized bathroom, with plenty OF
room between the fixtures. II is a very
good plan to place a couple thicknesses of
oiled paper we'll Tapped between the floors
of a bathroom. The reason is obvious. 4
tiled floor, of course, is very desirable, but
this cannot always be included on account
of the expense. There should always be a
wainscoting in the bathroom at least -four
feet high, but not of wood, for wood wains-
coting in kitchens and in bathrooms are far
from sanitary. BY using a hard cement
plaster and painting it several coats oil
white enamel marked off I'm the shape OF
oblong tile, a very neat and durable wains.
coting is obtained. Nickel plumbing can b,
obtained for about the same price as the
old style lead plumbing and It looks fai

TIMELY REAL ESTATE TALE
Steady Increase in Value Of Omaha
Property Noted.
RECENT INSTANCES OF INCREASE
Briegs Place Lots Bought for $500
Are Held Against nm ORer of
$4,000, and other Cases
Are Many.

The prediction has been frequently made
that an advance in the price Of Omaha
property Is certain within a few years, and
some very good bankers have selected sec
lions OF the city where they believe the
values OF real estate will within three
years be double what II is now. Evidences
that such increases in value are 10 come
in a shorter time than two years are
plenty. especially TO the more popular resi-
dence districts, and a large number OF sales
are being made in anticipation Of the ad-
vance. -

Chemical National bank of New York City
I'm Briggs place four years ago. Among
other lots, Mr.. Wead bought five together
and paid 500 for them. They were bought
from Byron Hastings, then salesman for
the Byron Reed comapny, who seemed glad
to sell the lots for 500 and placed no
greater value on them. During the week
a prominent real estate firm, which has In
its employ some Of the best Judges of value
In the city, offered Mr.. Wead s2,5OO for the
five lots in Briggs place. When Mr.. Wead
bought the lots there was a mortgage on
them for $3.50. He has paid interest on that
amount for four years and Invested $50 in
the four lots, During the time the lots have

fused the $500 for the lots. Briggs place

MACHINE TO OPEN LETTERS
Invented by a Girl Whose Depart
ment Received Ten Thousand
Letters u Day.

A patent for a machine which is guar
antted to open at least 400 letters a min
ute has just been granted to Miss Sophia
Heilbrun of New York, who is not more
than 20 years of age, and looks more like
a school girl than one who puzzles her
brain with the intricacies Of machinery.
But Miss Heilbrun II at the head OF one
OF the biggest mail order departments in
New York City and receives a salary OF
$1,000 a year. Her department receives an
average Of 10000 letters a day, and the
labor OF opening these took so long that
she set her mind working on a machine
which would expedite it. She told about
it as follows:
1T was the natural result of the need
OF II. as so many inventions are. In my
department l receive on an average i0,000
letters a day, To open these a large force
Of girls is required, and the most expert
letter opener cannot open more than thirty
a minute with the old fashioned. primitive
letter slicer. with the new machine, which
does not need a trained operator, between
400 and 50 can be opened in the same
time.
"The beauty Of the machine is that It In
nc way Injuries the contents Of the letter.
1t simply crumbles the edge off without

how II is done"
Miss Heilburn led the way TO an adjoin-
ing room where one Of the machines was
at work. Gathering up a handful OF letters
Of different sizes she set them into a ma
hogany box, turned a wheel. switched on
the electricity, and the box containing the
letters was run across a rubber roll set
diagonally I'm a plate. Once over this spot.
the electricity was turned off and the let
tiers removed. All were open ready to be
looked over.

It practically ready some time ago, except
that 1 had no way Of getting rid Of the dust

PENSION SYSTEM FOR WORKERS
Features of the Plan Recently In
RugurRted by the Harves-
ter Trust.

r ANuEc OI Nhe rim hfCthNAg N
~augurRted by the HaFves-
ter Trust.
A benefit association and a pension fund
nave been formed by the international Har-
vester company to provide fits employees
with an income when sick or disabled by
accident. and Of making definite payments
to the families in case of death. In brief,
the plan provides that every employe who
contributes 2 per cent Of his wages to the
furd becomes a member of the association
and is entitled to all its benefits. He is
insured against death from sickness or ac-
cident and receives half wages while dis
abled by sickness or injury. The family
of a man killed either on or off duty, re-
ceives two years wages. For the loss of
both eyes, both hands or feet he receives
two years wages. In case Of death from
illness one years wages are paid. For ex-
ample a man earning $3.50 a week pays
95 cents a week dues, II sick and unable to
work, he receives $6,25 a week. Should he
die from ar accident or lose both eyes, his
family will receive 81, 800. Should he die from
the result of illness, his family will receive
$3.50, in addition to the weekly half wages
paid during his illness. Every employee is
eligible to the pension fund, which provides
that any employe after twenty years Of SER
vice who has reached the age of sixty-five
years may retire on a pension computed
as follows: For each year of active service
an allowance of l per cent Of the average
annual pay during the last ten years OF
service, with a maximum of 500 a month,
and a minimum of SIS a month. Retirement
is optional at sixty.five years of age and
compulsory at seventy.-New York Tribune

MANY eastern holders of Omaha prop
erty are being Influenced to sell their
Omaha holdings-n not at a loss, but to
make something-and the buyers are al
most always either citizens Of Omaha or
OF Nebraska says a dealer. Gradually
an immense amount of Omaha property is
coming to be owned by the people Of this
state instead of the people OF the east.
IL Is a good sign when the people of a
state who have money to invest put II into
real estate in the metropolis of the state.
It is going to spread confidence and good
feeling for the city OF Omaha into the
most remote corner of the state. When a
small town banker or a farmer owns prtp-
erty In Omaha he feels kindlier towar the
city, and his friends are Influenced to feel
that Omaha is something more to Them
than simply a big city off by itself. 1t
becomes as much a part of The state as
their home town and they look 1T the city
in a different light. We are encouraging

There is a tendency to invest in Omaha
city property by sound business men. and
even farmers, who are covering the banks
up with money, are buying city property.
With the present crop harvested the money

Improved property will be a good invest
ment for idle money, as It will yield good

A Mexican Tradition.

"Boys, what's the matter? Fever?
Die, then; die, them That's the song
the doves sing down in old Mexico
when a native has pneumonia, and
almost invariably he lies down, refuses
to swallow the medicine prescribed by
the physician, resigns himself to his
fate and in a few weeks he dies. The
dove, however. sings the song in Span
ish. 1t is tradition among the Mex
leans that once the fever accompany
ing an attack of pneumonia seizes
them it is necessarily fatal, and be-
cause of this all medicine and all ply
sicians are refused and the Mexican
usually dies. The dove brings the
story of death in its weird cooling, ac-
cording to the belief Of the natives,
and many who have been seized with
the fever who otherwise might have
recovered have succumbed owing to
their belief in the tradition. That is
the reason, it is said, why pneumonia
is fatal to so many Mexicans. New
York Herald.
