TRUS! BARS BATH TUBS;
USED As COAL BINS

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-No more bath
tubs will be installed in houses to be
built for foreign workmen employed
by the various subsidiary companies Of
the United States Steel corporation at
Gary, Ind.
This is the edict that came from the
big corporation yesterday. When an
architect made a plan for building
permit in behalf of the company that
intends to erect a score of concrete
houses in the western part of the city
it was noticed that the plans called
for all modern conveniences, with the
exception of bathtubs.
Three years ago." said a Steel cor
poration official, I'VE erected sixty well
appointed houses for foreign workmen
and their families and placed bathtubs
in each one. A year later a report was
wanted from New York as to how they
were taking to the tubs. An investi-
CATION revealed the fact that in no in

was being utilized as a coal bin, etc,

Government Wants Pay For Coal.

Disguised Hands Always Bad.

Disguised Hands Always Bad.
"Here is a TRUTH" says a handwrit-
ing expert. that is as widespread as
the ether: A disguised hand always
tries to be poorer than the real hand.
That axiom is a great help to us ex-
perts. For instance. when a letter
done in a disguised hand is brought to
us we always know that the writer of
the letter is in a higher station than
the hand would lead us to infer; hence
in Jul detective work we are able to
save much valuable time by eliminat-
ing all persons socially below the ap-
pearance Of the letter and concentrate
ing u attention on those only who
are above it."

The Montana Road Laws.

Several times we have been asked II
a homesteader, taking up land which
is crossed by q road has a legal right
to fence his land Ia a manner that will
close the road, says the Valerian.
The road laws of Montana do not give
the homesteader any such right, but
impose a heavy penalty upon any one
who shall construct such 90 obstruc.
ton.
The only lawful way to change q
road is to petition the county commits.
sioners OF your county to make the
change, and the board will appoint
viewers to look over the proposed
route.
1t Ia not necessary that q road shall
be laid out to make it egal-the very
fact that it has been generally used
for q number of years as a public
highway makes IL legal, and must re.
main open until changed by the board
OF county commissioners.
We would advise those homestead.
ers who think of fencing across the
roads crossing their newly acquired
lands to go about it by petitioning the
proper authorities.

The Car For You

You are thinking Of buying
an automobile. Naturally, the
question of price has a. great
deal to do with the matter. You
don't want to pay several thou
sands dollars for car whose
upkeep will be a constant drain
on your resources. At the
same time you don't want a
cheap assembled car that will
probably never see a second
season without extensive re-
pairs. What you want is a
moderate priced factory-built
car. A car with an organiza.
ton behind it that is in the bus
mess to stay, not one whose
manufacturers are only in he
game for a couple of years.
You want a car that has made
good made good from the
very start because of this very
fact. Such a car is the Over
land.

IL was not long ago that sheep were
the sonly animals that were dipped
and consequently dipping time meant
nothing to people who kept no sheep.
Most farmers now realize that hogs
need dipping just as much as sheep.
There is no surer way to prevent that
dread disease, hog cholera, than to
keep the animals clean and thriving.
A healthy hog is not an easy victim to
any disease. The best way to keep
hogs clean and thriving is by dipping.
The same is true Of poultry, and q
great many make 1t practice to dip
fowls frequently during the summer.
Colts and calves are also much better
for an occasional bath. When It
comes to selecting dip to do this with.
you of course want the material that
will do the work thoroughly without
injury to animals and at the lowest
possible cost. There is good evidence
to prove that Kreso Dip No. ! Is an
ideal preparation along these very
lines. It is we'll worth your while IN.
