Method for Construction of Cheap but
Substantial Homes for Work
ING Classes.

London.-Two neat little tiled cot
tages at Newlands Corner, near Guild
ford, stand for a practical and sue
cessful effort to deal with one of the
most pressing questions of English
rural life-the problem of cheap hous-
ing
In building these comfortable, well
ordered dwellings for two of his un-
dergardeners at cost for the two OF
$1,500,I st. Loe Strachey, editor of the
Spectator, has justified the faith which
he publicly expressed and which NOV
ed him to promote the Cheap Cottage
exhibition at Letchworth in 1905.
The argument which Mr.. Strachey
then advanced and has now establish
ed is this: The agricultural laborer
cannot afford to pay more than $1.5O a
week house rent out of his wages. Any
improvement in his dwelling above
that standard must ordinarily be pro-
vided by philanthropy. The obvious
way to cope with this situation is to
cheaper the cost of construction.
This Mr.. Strachey, in cooperation
with local builder, has done, by us
ing for the walls of his cottage con-
crete blocks made in molds on the
spot. The ground floors of the cot
tages have scullery, pantry and q
large kitchen sitting room. from which

PHEASANTS PEST IN FIELD
Toothsome Birds Thrive Under Game
Law of Washington at Great
Cost to Farmers.

Seattle, Wash.-Pheasants are a
plague in the Nisqually river valley,
and farmers are up In arms, not
against the pheasants, but the mem
bers of the legislature who made the
closed season law. The toothsome
birds have eaten up the potatoes and
much small grain and even attacked
the apples and other fruits.
1t is reported from that section of
the state that these white-collared.
vari-colored birds wing down upon the
farms in large fiocks. They scratch
out the tubers and pick out eyes and
centers, leaving but shell of the for
mer potato. The loss caused by the
birds is large, and because of the
semi-domesticated instinct of these
oriental birds they do not fear scare
crows, dogs or firing of explosives.
The farmers in their petition to have
an open season declared state that
they do not care to go cunning in
their corn and potato patches when a
dead pheasant means $50 fine and
court costs.
The population of the Nisqually
river valley is united on the petition
to have an open season of two months
declared, that hunters may have an
opportunity of thinning the pheasant
stock.

YOUR STOMACH FEELS FINE.
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, sourness, Gas
and All Stomach Misery Ended
In Five Minutes.

This harmless preparation will
promptly digest anything you eat and
overcome sick. sour. gassy or out-of-
order stomach within five minutes.
If your meals don't fit comfortably,
or what you eat lies like a lump of
lead in your stomach, or if you have
heartburn that is sign of Indigestion.
Get from any drug store here in
town a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapep-
sin and take a dose just as soon as
you can. There will be no sour ris-
ings, no belching of undigested food
mixed with acid, no stomach gas or
heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling
in the stomach, Nausea, Debilitating
Headaches, Dizziness or Intestinal
gripping. This will all go. and, besides,
there will be no sour food left over
in the stomach to poison your breath
with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain regula-
tor for out-of-order stomachs, and be-
sides it takes hold of your food and
digests it just the same as if your
stomach wasn't there.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to thoroughly
cure any case of Dyspepsia, Indiges-
ton or any other stomach disorder.
Remember, if your stomach feels
out of order and uncomfortable now,
you can get relief in five minutes by
taking a little Diapepsin.

slaniflcance in Names.

m an Illinois town workingman
having been informed that a sixth
baby had arrived at his home, ex-
claimed: Sufficient" and his neigh
bors, referring to his having given
that name-Sufiicient the new
arrival, credited him with originality.
The incident resembles a case nearer
home, adds the New York Tribune.
A New York family was blessed with
nine daughters, when the stork
brought tenth one. 1t was in the
days when the slang term for an Oft
told story was a Chestnut" and as
the baby certainly came under that
head she received the name, but for
euphony's sake the French for the
word was employed, and she was call
ed Marion.

WOMEN CRAVE TOYS

either like an extremely simple toy
or a really 'brainy amusement, such
as making electrical experiments, put
ting toy aeroplanes together. Or scien-
tific kite flying"
Popular silly toys already selling
we'll are Baby Bumps" fitted with a
'tbreak- em-head," and a very
live looking duck called a Puddle
duck" Each of these toys has been
bought as a mascot by ladies' and
taken out in motor cars.
An interesting reason for the boom
in simple animal toys was given by an
enthusiastic theater-goer.
Plays like the Blue Bird 'Pinkie
and the Fairies, and Peter Pam in
which animals possessed of wonder
full intelligence are seen on the stage,
have considerable influence over
children" he said.
I'm the Blue Bird animals such as
the cat, dog, and horse are made to
possess a soul. They reason and ar
que like human beings.
Now the successful toy manufacture
er endeavors to put this live, soulful
quality into his goods-he makes the
cloth dog or rabbit as cute and life
like as possible.
1T is the soulful quality of these
toys-if l may so express (which

lively rave over a fluffy little cloth
dog, making it sit by them at dinner
and talking to it for hours in baby
voice"

New Jersey Chestnut Blight Spreads
to other species-5elieved to
Be Fungus Disease.

Summit, N. with the chestnut
tree blight not having gone far enough
In it's work of utterly destroying the
tree in this state to be yet matter
of common knowledge, tree experts In
this vicinity say they have discovered
signs that point also to the destruction
of its companion tree, the hickory.
Hickory trees in this vicinity and In
Essex county have been exhibiting
signs of the blight, the precise nature
of which. however. remains unex-
planned.
Only here and there are to be found
as yet cases of destruction by the
pest, whatever 1t is. but the instances
are sufficiently numerous to convince
observers that probably some fungus,
as is the case with the chestnut tree,
has attacked the trees.

RED CROSS SEAL IN HIsToRY
First Used During the American Civil
War-Now an Aid In Fight
Ing tuberculosis.

Red Cross Christmas seals date
back in their origin to charity
stamps" first used for the soldiers
relief funds in Boston in 1862, during
the Civil war After the war, this
method of raising money was discon-
tinued in this country for a genera
ton, although it found vogue in Por-
tugal, Switzerland, Australia, France,
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia,
Sweden and other European coun-
tries. There are now several hun
dred different types of charity stamps
used in all parts of the world.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade In Norway and Sweden in
1904. After being used In these coun-
tries for three years, as a direct re-
suit of the interest Of Jacob Riis in
this movement. the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis association, headed by
Miss Emily p. Bissell and the Red
Cross society of Delaware combined
in issuing a tuberculosis stamp. So
successful was this campaign that
nearly $4,000 was realized, and the
next year, in 1908. the American Red
Cross was induced to issue a national
Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From
this sale, $4,000 was realized, that
amount being almost doubled in 1909.
This year, for the first time, the sale
is organized on a comprehensive
basis, taking in all parts of the
United States. A million for tuber-
culosis work is confidently expected.

Children Show Preference for
Scientific Devices.
Youngsters Call for Aeroplanes, Kites

Supplies PoWer-Reason
for Boom.

London.-SiDlple silly" toys are all
the rage just now.
The Teddy bear is responsible for
the boom, and following him a host
of simple, unbreakable, woolly ami
mails, manikins and babies" has
sprung upon the toy market
Cheap mechanical clockwork toys
and things that 'windup" seem to
have temporarily lost favor with chill
dren.
Boys up to twelve years of age, girls
of all ages, and even grown-ups have
taken violent fancy to the cloth or
woollen toy which can be punched,
kicked, sat on or kissed without i'll eff
fects, either to the owner or to the
toy.
Inquiries made at the leading London
toy shops show that during the COM
ing winter season the simple toy will
be the chief article sold.
At one large Regent street estab-
lishment one side of the shop is al
ready stocked with silly toys, and in
a few days time hundreds more will
arrive-lions, elephants, bears, sheep,
dogs, rabbits, etc.-costing anywhere
from 25 cents to SIS each.
THE simple toy is having an I'M
doubted boom just now" said the man
ager. These toys are really intended
for babies, but | have known ladies
to fall in love with them and buy them
for themselves.
While the craze is certainly affect
ing the sales Of cheap mechanical
clock-work toys, it has not hurt the
scientific toy trade.
1T seems that children nowadays
