CONCRETE HOUSES IN FAVOR.
Rapidly Growing in PopularityA Combina
ton Of Cheapness and Dura bility.

Within the last few years concrete
construction has come into high IA
vor. For a time it was confined
chiefly to factory buildings, dams and
other massive structures. Now en-
gineers and architects all over the
country are recommending concrete
residences as being equally as good,
or, in many respects, better than
those of stone, brick or frame. AS
concrete structures are not affected
by climatic conditions as much as
other construction, and are much
more permanent, there is good rea-
son why their adoption should soon
become almost universal
The cost of any building depends
IN great measure upon its location
with regard to accessible materials.
This applies to concrete as we'll as to
other materials, but in lesser de-
gree. Sand, gravel and rubble can
be found in abundance in almost any
section of the country, and as these
materials form about eighty-five per
cent. of the building mixture, there
remains only about fifteen per cent.

DINING TABLE CENTREPIECE.

A novel and most attractive-look-
ing centrepiece recently used at a
bridge luncheon was made by the
hostess. The basis of the piece con-
sisted of pasteboard box six inches
wide and eighteen inches long set
upon an old-fashioned coarse straw
hat, whose wide brim folded against
the long sides Of the box, formed
half-moon effect. The box was then
filled with long-stemmed growing
flowers imbedded in moss, long
strands of wide satin ribbon were
woven through Sits cut in the paste
board and the straw arranged at each
corner in all-loop bows. Among the
bows and along the inner and outer
sides of the box were set choux of
maline of the same shade as the rib
bon, so that the white hyacinths
which filled the receptacle appeared
to be springing from bed of gau7o,

A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE

It is hard to convince some people

They lay their bad feelings to almost

But the doctor knows. His wide
experience ha1 proven to him that, to
some systems, coffee is an insidious
poison that undermines the health.
Ask the doctor if coffee is the cause
of constipation, stomach and nervous
troubles.

ELECTRIC IRON HINT.

For one doing light homework and
wanting a quick lunch, the electric
iron is most convenient, and by turn
ing the iron upside down on its stand
you can fry meat eggs, potatoes, ETC.,
make tea and coffee, also bake pota-
toes by putting pan over them to
keep in the heat, and turning the po-
tatoes so they will bake on both
sides.-Susie M. Hanson, in the Bos-

A ROSE JAR.

The following directions for max
ing a rose jar which the writer says
has been successfully used for more
than thirty years, and for which we
are very, very grateful: Gather the
rose petals in the morning, letting
them stand in cool place, tossed up
lightly, for one hour to dry off, then
put them in layers into large COW
cred dish, sprinkling salt between
the layers. You can add to this for
several mornings until you have
enough stock, from one pint to
quart according to the size Of your
jar. Stir every morning and let the
whole stand for ten days. Then
transfer it to a glass fruit jar in the
bottom of which has been placed
two ounces of allspice coarsely ground
and as much broken stick cinnamon.
This may stand now for six weeks
closely covered, when it is ready for
the permanent jar. Have ready one
ounce each of cloves, allspice, CHINA
mon and mace, all ground not fine,
one ounce of orris root bruised and
shredded, two ounces of lavender
flowers and a small quantity of any
other sweet scented dried flowers or
herbs. Mix together and put in the
jar in alternate layers with rose
stock, add few drops of oil of rose
geranium or violet and pour over the
whole one quarter of pint of best
cologne.-BoSton Post.

LEAKING PIPES.

Leaking pipes demand the alien
ton of plumber, but in some cases
where some time has to elapse before
his services can be secured valuable
carpets and furniture might be saved
If the fact were better known that a
mixture of yellow soap and whiting
made into a paste with little water
will stop leak effectually for some
hours.-Mrs. w. A. Keith, in the

Governor Fernald has received an
invitation from the American Acad-
envy of Political and Social Science 10
send delegates to the fourteenth an
nllal meeting Of the society which will
be held at Philadelphia April and
.. AS there is no appropriation for
this purpose no delegates will be ap-
pointed to represent the state of
Maine.
The following is the letter from l..
S. Rowe OF the University of Pennsyl-
vania. the president Of the American
Academy of Political and Social
Science bearing on the matter:
The American Academy of Politi-
cal and Social Science will hold its
fourteenth annual meeting on Friday
and Saturday, April 8th and 9th. The
general topic of the five sessions will
be The Administration Of Justice in
the United States. including the fol-
lowing subjects:
Session of Friday afternoon, April s.
The Treatment of the Accused and
the Offender"
Session OF Friday evening, April S.
The Juvenile Court ana the Treat
ment of Juvenile Offenders"
Session of Saturday morning, April Q.
The Scope and Limits of the In
junction"
Session Of Saturday Afternoon. April
9.
Administration of the Criminal Law
DEFECTS and Proposed Remedies
Session Of Saturday Evening, April 9.
The Respect For Law in the United
States
This conference will be of national
importance as we expect the leading
authorities of the country to take part
in the discussions. We feel however.
that its influence on the public opinion
OF the country would be greatly
strengthened if we were to have with
us the representatives from the sew
eral states of the Union.
The Academy, unfortunately, is not
in a position to pay the expenses of
such delegates. but it has occurred TO
us that there would be q sufficient
number of persons in each state who
would wish to attend these sessions in
order to make the appointment of
such a delegation comparatively easy.
I'VE are planning to publish the
proceedings in a special volume to
which the widest circulation will be
given.
Il will much appreciate an early re-
plv to this invitation in order that we
may be able to publish the names of
the various delegations"
