| fruit comes out just as nice in the WIN

Dry air in the house and damp cellar
air meet here. and the results are
very satisfactory
The value OF house is made up OF
little things. 1t is the many little
things added together that make the
round, satisfactory whole. The man
or woman who wants a house to suit
them must study the details before
starting to build; otherwise the house
will be unsatisfactory when finished.
The fact is. few families can find a
satisfactory ready made. 1t is difficult
for anyone to feel really, thoroughly at
home in a rented house. There are
fifty little things you would like to
have different. but you positively re-
fuse to put time and expense on a
house that belongs to someone else
This is one reason why | so often rec.
ommend young people to start out in
a home of their own. 1t may not be
elaborate, but If it fits the pocketbook II
is very likely to prove the nucleus of a
happy and prosperous life.

been built for sl,S00 1t should not cost
very much more than that today.

gable was never finished satisfactorily
until the three window frame was in
vented, and that didn't happen until
quite recently. There was some objec-
tion at first to triple windows like this
until the women found out how to
dress them up satisfactorily; but we
don't hear any complaint now. The
fashion seems to have come to STAY.
because the women have given it their
sanction. When the women nail a fash
ion, it stays nailed until they change
their minds; and they haven't publish
ed any change of sentiment in regard
to triple window, especially when it
decorates the gable end of a house
roof. The reason probably Is that
they have found a satisfactory way to
arrange the shades and curtains: and
they have also found out that a win
dow of this kind admits more light.

MERCHANTS MUST ADVERTISE
Every Issue of Local Newspaper
Should Contain Some Mention
of His Goods.

No business man in any town
should allow newspaper published
in his town to go out without his name
and business being mentioned some
where in its columns, says an ex-
change. This applies TO all kinds of
business-genral stores, dry goods,
groceries, furniture dealers, manufac-
turing establishments, automobile
dealers, mechanics, professional men,
in fact all classes OF business men.
This does not mean that you should
have whole or half or even a quarter
of a page ad in every issue of the
paper, but your name and business
should be mentioned if you do not
use more than a tWO-line space A
stranger picking up newspaper
should be able to tell just what kind
of merchants the town has by a
glance at the advertising This is
the best possible town advertising.
The man who does not advertise his
business does an injustice TO himself
and his town. He is the man who en-
poets the newspaper to do the most
free boosting for his town. The man
who insists on sharing the business
that comes to town but refuses to
advertise his business is not a valu-
able addition to any town The life
of any town depends upon the live.
wide-awake and liberal advertising

Honesty in advertising as policy

one better way to incI' a mans en-

Fox said. "and that is by treating him

In many of the sensational divorce
cases reported in the newspapers core
spondent is named, with dates and places.
The judge hears the case and a decree is
given. But is the correspondent to divorce
suit not criminal if the trial judge finds
the allegations true? Is not the one who
has broken up home, robbed another Of
that which is most precious and sacred, a
worse robber than a burglar? Then why
are the guilty ones not prosecuted after
being found offenders in a divorce suit !?
