There is one convincing reason.
even II there were no others. why a
growing city should. as early as pos
sible, extend its boundary lines In
every direction 80 AZ to include ter
ritory that will not be solidly built
for fifty or even a hundred years.
Tho streetways of city ought to be
planned not merely with regard to
the city that is, but with regard to
the greater city that Is to be. And
as the greater city that Is to be will
spread beyond existing boundary
lines and into new territory. 1t fol-
lows that the city should not delay
IN obtaining control of surrounding
areas and planning the more extern

The movement among up-to-date
Chinese to get rid of their queues
will probably be fastened by the ac-
ton of the New Jersey policeman
who tied three Celestial prisoners to-
gether by their long plaits in such a
tangle that only a sailor could undo
the knots. The American ingenuity
OF finding such use for them might
prove too humorous IN its general
appeal for the safeguarding of the
custom.

methods. They do not scour. they DO

eorrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
