There still Is time for the homebuilder
to have his plans made and start the build
ing, If he Is active, and there are many
reasons why he should, besides the
important item OF cost. In the first place,
it has been proven many time that a So
called winter job" produces a better house
than II built at any other time Of the year.
Workmen will work faster and better dur
ing the chilly weather than during hot
weather. The millmen are not crowded
with work and a more prompt delivery
Of mill work can be assured. The millmen,
the contractors and all their assistants
have more time to devote to your work;
the employees are anxious to keep their
Jobs and therefore do better work in less
time. Also, contractors like to nave one
or two good jobs to carry them through
the winter In order to keep their best
skilled labor employed 80 they will have
them on hand for spring business, this be-
ing one Of the reasons why they will bid
close in order to obtain several orders dur
ing the fall. This means that a house
built during the fall and winter Is usually
handled by a skilled crew OF men, they be-

has appeared twice in police court, in com
pany with his friend, John Barleycorn. His
second appearance was In total disregard
Of Judge Crawford's warning that II he got
in trouble again, he would have to TAX
medicine. As he came up 70 the desk,
there were tears in his eyes and even while
the Judge mouth was open to say thirty
days" he began TO explain piteously, that
il was not his fault, he was only absent
minded. He could not even remember that
he had been drunk, nor hat he had been
disturbing roomers I'm a City Mission lodg-
ing house for several days.
He could not remember that he had
worked three days during his sojurn there
and he could not even remember he had
been in jail before. He could remember
that when he first came TO town, his
pockets had been picked of every cent
/ had IN the world, Judge" but he could
not remember how many cents he had,
nor where this happened.
The Judge heard his story with a credu-
lous ear and decided that Charles was a
child OF misfortune, but he permitted him
to emain in jail over Sunday Just the
same to give John Barleycorn time to
disappear.

previous summer building operations. The
total result is a better home in less time
and at a lower cost than is possible during
the spring or summer.
Experience has proven that there is no
weather during the month of October, No
vember and December then 1t is too cold
to build in Minnesota. Last year the writer
prepared plans for a large sanitarium ex-
cavation for which started on November 8.
A large residence, costing complete about
$1,000, was started on November 4 and was
completed in June. Another residence,
costing $1,000, was started on November Is
and was completed early in the spring.
Certain precautions, of course, had to be
observed and in each building it was found
advisable to discontinue its construction
for a short period in January, but in each
instance a considerable gain was made in
point Of time, to say nothing Of a great
deal saved In the cost of these three build
ings. The writer designed a building upon
which bids were taken during the spring,
OF the same size and also Identical in many
respects to the home which was started
in November and which cost complete
about $4,000. The home last mentioned is
not yet complete, but It is estimated that
II will cost between / 1000 and 5000, This
shows a difference between the cost of
these two homes Of over 1900, the con-
tracts for one being let in the fall and
the other in the spring. Even II a pros
pective home builder does not desire to
proceed with the construction of his home
during the winter there is much to be
gained through putting in the foundation
during the fall of the year, thereby being
ready to let the contract for the balance
of the work during January and February,
when the builders are still anxious to re-
ceive orders prior to the usual rush that
invariably starts during the month OF
March.
One of the advantages of building at this
time of the year is quicker service. Builders
are not rushed with orders or pushed for
time, consequently, even small orders are
given prompt attention and the home
maker saves his nervous energy through
not having to be aggravated by the many
delays that are often caused by the non
delivery of materials at the proper time,
when the building is being constructed dur
the late spring and summer. The fall is
therefore the logical time TO build, because
in the absence of big orders from heavy
consumer the little buyer gets prompt at
%tention, quick service and the best ma
terlals, which, combined with high-class
labor at a moderate wage, ought to be
highly satisfactory to the man who has
been planning a home nest of his own.

d%iphtheria conditions. Orders were at once
made for a strict quarantine Of all these
cases.
"Of the twenty-three cases" said DR..
Connell." only two were of the throat
variety. The rest had nasal diphtheria,
some Of them in an advanced stage. While
the child may not appear sick, dangerous
symptoms are liable to develop suddenly,
and they should be attended TO at once
They are just as dangerous to the COM
munity as though they had the more ma
lignant form. 1 would advise all parents
OF children with sore noses, bleeding from
the nose or with white patches on the
membrane OF the nose or throat, to ave
them examined by a physician at once.
A culture should be taken and sent to the
health department
I'm at least ten of the cases we found
we could make the diagnosis without TAX
ing cultures, the disease was so pro-
nouneed. The conditions in the school
merely goes TO substantiate my stand that
we ought to have medical inspection in the
schools. Two deaths from diphtheria have
occurred In the Kellem school. They might
have been saved II we had had medical
inspection"
DIT. Connell will begin an inspection ol
other schools at once.

large percentage OF sales delayed never

Stories that no one was coming from

numerous as shoppers were not, and While
city trade might wait a little while, with
the assurance Of getting most OF It in

to go somewhere else.
This was the most distressing feature OF
It all. But now they are beginning to

VA NAbANs
Harry Appleton, of sixteenth and Vinton
streets, had visions OF great wealth Fri
day, but they faded rapidly about 10
o'clock Friday night, according to the
story he is telling on himself.
Friday forenoon Mrs. Appleton saw a
mysterious individual with a pine box and
a spade sinking around the outskirts OF
the Appleton grounds. Later she noticed
the stranger digging in the ground and
making motions as If he were burying q
pirates treasure. She watched the place
closely all day and told her husband about
it that night
The moon was bright, and about IL
o'clock, after the traffic on the street had
stopped and all was quiet in the ~neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Appleton crept out to the newly
covered hole in the ground, and after some
labor dug up the box.
Instead Of Spanish coins Of ancient mint
age, he discovered the BODY of a dog, which
had been killed that day near the house
by a street car. The mysterious strange
had merely been trying to avoid the city
health regulations.

" customary to a large extent to
start building operations of
- every description in the spring,
WNNNNI with the result that prices in
- variably go up on everything
pertaining to building material and
construction at that time. The reason
for considerable activity in building opera
lions during the spring and early summer
is easily apparent to one who will stop to
consider the fact that our daily life is con-
trolled to a large extent by the seasons.
During the winter there are few pastimes
to nga the attention Of the family and
II Is quite natural that a subject, such as
the prospect Of building a home the COM
ing year, should be gone over in detail at
that time.
AS the season advances and the several
members of the family have planned and
replanned according to their ideas of what
a modern house should be, enthusiasm In
~creases, until all are anxious to start the
construction Of the home as soon as the
frost leaves the ground and makes the ex-
cavation for the basement possible. The
result is that the contractors become
crowded to the extreme with orders. All
good contractors usually take in more or
ders during March, April and May thar
lnSy Chu pOSSlDiy iii III a prompt and
workmanlike manner. This condition re-
suits In their becoming independent and
not anxious for more orders except those
on which they can realize a large profit,
for several months at least. Nor are they
entirely responsible for the high prices
they charge during the rush Of the building
season. The tax OF the accumulated sup
plies OF materials is such during that time
Of the year that few material men will
guarantee to deliver the goods at a certain
time and the prices therefore go up. Con-
tractors sometimes offer large sums for
prompt delivery o an early delivery Of
the goods ordered.
This and many other reasons account for
the fact that the fall is the cheaper and
better time in which to build. The first
cold snap every fall is always the cause
OF a sudden falling off Of business in the
building line. and since the cost Of a home
Is invariably governed by the ever chang
ing law of supply and demand, this sudden
cease of activity In the building line in
variably causes a slump in prices and Gre
ates an anxiety on the part of contractors
and material agents which makes an ex-
ceptional opportunity for the prospective
home builder to let the contract for his
home at prices considerably lower than It
would be possible during the spring and
summer.
