INFLUENCE OF A GARDEN
Helps to Beauty City and lie Also
Important as an Educational
Factor.

Gardens and trees about the home
not only help to beautify the city, but
they are also of great Importance as
educational factors" City Forester
FROST said recently: They improve
sanitary conditions, increase the value
of real estate, strengthen home ties
and stimulate civic pride.
Whenever you find home where
grass, flowers and vegetables have
taken the place of cinders, tin cans
and rubbish, there, am sure, you will
find happy family, successful IA

haved children.
Gardens are practical, simple to
make and intensely fascinating to
those who start the work. And often
times one garden will result in the

MADE BANK ACCOUNT GOOD
Why Uncle Reuben Could Not Meet
Debt He Acknowledged as
an Obligation.

Uncle Reuben, the village white
washer and man of all work, was
frequent borrower of small sums
from his neighbor, Colonel Arkwright,
and as a rule he repaid these little
debts at the appointed time; but on
one occasion, when he had been &C
commodated with q loan Of two dol
lars and half, which he promised
to return in a few days, he allowed
two or three weeks to pass without
making any mention of his indebted
ness, and in fact, seemed to avoid
his creditor. But one morning the
colonel Unexpectedly encountered him
at the postoffice.
Hello, Uncle Rube! Didn't you
borrow a little money from me sew

HAS REAL SANITARY METHOD
Minneapolis Gives Object Lesson to
Whole Country In the Disposal
of Her Garbage.

Minneapolis is blazing new trail
She has found out that no city that
wants to be clean city can neglect
its garbage handling, and she has
gone to work to set pace for the rest
of us. The real beauty of it. too, is
that she has solved the garbage prob.
lem-or more nearly solved it than
has anybody else, up to date.
Nearly four years ago this campaign
to handle garbage without nuisance
was started and today it is pronounced
an unqualified success. No more are
there foul maggoty garbage cans and
all because city ordinance provides
that every housewife shall drain the
garbage of all moisture and wrap it in
q paper before putting 1t in the can
This not only insures clean can, bul
the spaces between the paper allow
the air to circulate and keep the garb
age from freezing and adhering tc
the can in cold seasons. In other
words, heat, moisture and the fly are
all eliminated. Any kind of paper can
be used, but as rule there is plenty
of wrapping paper that comes around
packages from the grocer and butcher.
as we'll as old newspapers, that the
housewife Is glad to get rid Of That
all this may be done properly the
board of health issues a printed
card of directions for the housewife
and advises that 1t be hung in her
kitchen.
But this Is only an important intro
duction to the story Of the garbage
system which is being adopted by
large city as a unit. When the garb
age man comes around to collect his
quota he finds a clean can, he is not
faced with wet and dripping refuse
and In cold weather he does not take
= pick and batter the can in order tc
lift the frozen material. He merely
loads the prepared garbage into
larg steel box, somewhat resembling
a bathtub, and which has 100 feet ca
pacity. He hauls this to a central
transfer station, where the tanks are
lifted off the wagon truck by means OF
Oil OiSSIiiS uOlSI anu pldCeu upOu hat
cars which convey them to the crema
tory or disposal plant. A train of sew
eral cars soon reaches the crematory
just outside the city, where the boxes
are lifted from the cars by an electric
hoist and dumped directly into the fire.
In other words, from the time the
garbage is rolled in paper by the
housewife until the ashes are taken
from the fire of the disposal plant
there Is no necessity for the refuse to
be handled by hand. AS the paper used
to wrap the packages, as a rule is
waste material, this too is disposed of
and the sanitary condition of the cans
and reduction in bulk of the waste, be-
cause drained, make the necessity for
collection less frequent-a saving in
money to the city.-Technical World
Magazine.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then 1t would
break out again and II spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until 1t was on
his hands and arms / bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had 1t about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. / sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles Of Resolvent, two boxes OF
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and we'll, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. / think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use 1t. Cuticura Soap is the best that
/ have ever used for toilet purposes"

City Planting.

Cities are being considered more as
a unit, with a civic center ever in.
creasing in size, with radial lines OF
development ever extending outward
with interradial spaces of less value
and receiving less attention, but 1t is
in these places that parks and the
quieter functions of city life should be
located Their value for parks Is
greater than the most costly business
block. Scant sympathy is given to
him who would locate large square
or park in the midst Of business dis.
trict or across lines Of radial growth.
For there business must concentrate
even as the lens concentrates the
suns rays, but parks and parkways
should be located in inter-radial
spaces.

Worryinu HAPPINESS.

The bishop Of Manchester, speaking
at a meeting at Church house, West
minister, said the secret of happiness
was to have a sufficient multitude of
worries.
The man who had only one worry,
blind that would not be pulled up
straight by the servant, or a coal
scuttle the bottom Of which was al
ways coming out, found his way to
the lunatic asylum, but the man who
had no time to dwell upon his wor-
ries because he had to go from one to
another, and back again and round
and round like a squirrel in a cage,
could be a perfectly happy man.

The inspectors were unanimous in their every action ex- cept as to sending out the lists of voters by MT. Silk. During the entire day only four or i've voters refused to make the affidavits and retired without voting.
 The voters lists were quite imperfect, and delay was occasioned in looking up names and making the affidavits but there was ample time for every voter to cast his ballot, and an even larger vote could have been boiled. During the last hour. there was no line in waiting and very few votes were cast. Any statement that voting was Intentionally delayed or that any challenges were made by the inspectors for partisan purposes is ab- solutely false.
 From my investigation of the voters qualifications. as they presented their pa pers to me and made sffidavits, l do not doubt that over 100 illegal votes were cast at this box. However, the inspectors were powerless to prevent it, the voters hav- ing made the required affidavits. which made 1t our duty to receive their ballots.
