Would you teach him. at great incon-

all the way from a pint to quart of
alcohol? Would you re-enforce this by
overlooking his stomach with highly
spiced food and add all the narcotics
that were in the market. such as tea.
coffee. etc? Would you keep him in

AL WAYS A GOOD INVESTMENT
Money Spent for the Beautifying of
Cities Returns Always to
the People.

The Belgians have gon on the
theory that by pleasing the eye the
contentment Of the people is increas-
ed to a very considerable degree.
Magnificent parks, civic centers and
buildings are the result, and accord
ing to a writer on this subject in The
New Age:
Experience has shown that the
money spent by the municipalities of
Belgium in their attempts to beautify
whenever and wherever possible has
been recovered a hundredfOld, by rea-
son Of the fact that the more attrac-
tive the city the longer the visitor
fingers inc the more money he
spends.
THE wiser heads have discovered
that the City Beautiful is not a lux
ury. but a necessity for the welfare
of the people and uplifting of the ma
ton"
The same results will be true in
the case Of Denver, where the cam
paign for the city beautiful has al
ready given the municipality a wide
reputation for progressiveness and is
already attracting tens of thousands
of visitors and many new residents
annually.
