AWAKE TO THE OPPORTUNITY
People of Chicago Are Utilizing Their
Back Yards and Changing the
Aspect of the City.

The increased cost of living Is be-
ginning to change the landscape Of
Chicago as viewed from the elevated
lines, according to city salesman,
who puts in a great deal of his time
travelling around town these days,
says the Chicago News.
Il have noticed this spring." he ex-
plains, that nearly every back yard
is being put out in vegetables. People
have to do it, guess. Until this year
the city man home from his desk or
his machine or whatever he worked at
had little time for gardening. The
janitor of the fiat building usually kept
a grass plot moved, if there was a
janitor and gras plot, and in the case
of homes the woman of the house
sometimes planted morning glories or
petunias along the fence and let it go
at that, while in the poorer districts
the tin can and the worn-out mattress
held sway.
"All is changed these days, which
shows how nature sometimes does
things backward, according to our way
of reasoning. 1t would seem that the
more money we had to spend the more
neatly we would keep our surround
ings. But with money going out at
the rate of Sc barrel for potatoes and
2S cents a pound for butter, the house
keeper has begun to dig up his back
yard and set out neat rows of onions,
lettuce, beets and turnips and put in
his evenings wedding and hoeing,
where formerly he read and smoked
and allowed grass and weeds to -four
ish and cats to prowl. 1t is surprising,
too, to see what an improvement it
makes and how pleasing to the eye
these back yards are"

WHITE PlMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom Ill.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for few months, then it
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts of his body it was
more like water coming out of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread, The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
"The sores were horrid to look at
1t lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &C.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but it did no good Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment We put the Cuticura ONT
ment on thick at bed time and put a
light hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed it clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice a day, and he was completely
cured" (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Sulzber-
ger, Dec. 80, 1911.

Value of City Planning,

A lecture en- The Engineer in His
Relations to the City Plan" was given
by Nelson P. Lewis, chief engineer of
the board of estimate and apportion-
ment, New York, before the Engineers
club at Philadelphia. Mr.. Lewis illus
trated his lecture with lantern slides,
showing the effect upon city growth
of proper planning, and emphasized
the necessity of making plans while
the city is in it's infancy, so as to
avoid tearing down big buildings and
making other serious changes.
City planning pays he said, DE
cause of the increase of population
and valuation of properties which re-
suits. The old cities Of the east are
all hampered by the bad planning of
those who laid them out a century or
more ago, but despite this handicap,
many Improvements can be made
which will make them high examples
of modern civic planning.

SNAIL RACING IN PARIS

A recent inspection made in the of.

perior officials a curious phase OF
gambling mania-the racing of snails.
When highly-placed official opened
the desks he found a number of card

inquiries were at once instituted,
ana 1t was found that the passion Of
snail-racing had taken such hold of
the clerical staff that proud owners
OF particularly spry snails we're bet
ting heavily on their favorites, and
tnat some racers" were held at as
much as So apiece, 1t was also dis
covered that the rules of the game
were as follows:
l.. The course to be not more than
a foot and half in length on a clear
fiat desk.
z. II the winning snail takes more
than three-quarters of an hour to
cover the course the race shall be de-
clared off.
3. No bait, other than lettuce, shall
De placed at the winning post.
4. All snails shall be handicapped
on their weight, and not their age.

had found themselves in serious diff.

Praise for Cedar RspiSs.

An Illustration OF what my 5a done
for a comparatively small city is l-T-
nished by Cedar Rapids, Ia. A river
runs through the town, not a large
stream, and in the center is an island
of good size. 1t was decided 10 make
that island a civic center, placing the
municipal buildings thereon and erect
ing numerous street bridges to it. The
banks of the river are bordered with
undesirable buildings. These build
ings are to be torn down, streets
widenCd and the banks of the river
beautiied with really attractive build
ings, such as would form a natural
screen or border to fine civic center.

ECONOMIC VALUE OF TREES
Roads Always in Better Condition
Where They Have Been Planted
and Properly Cared For.

We have spoken often for good pub.
lie roads as the best investment, ev.
erything considered, that the country
can make, but we are indebted to the
Maryland State Grange for the sound
suggestion that there are no really
good country roads without shade
trees along them. The practical, eco,
nomic value of trees along the roadside
is beyond dispute. They actually pro.
tect the road and lessen the cost OF
upkeep. How much they add to the
money value of abutting farms, II
would be difficult to estimate; but if,
of two farms otherwise exactly equal
in value and offered at the same price,
one is fringed by shade trees and the
other is bare, there is little doubt
which nine buyers out of ten would
prefer. In no other way can the at,
fractions of bit of country road be so
much enhanced. Who that drives in
the country doesn't feel grateful to the
farmer whose trees beautify the
scene?
Planting shade trees where none ex-
list is not really expensive, and in the
long run it pays quite as we'll, at least,
as planting wheat. There are, of
course, certain practical problems,
such as avoiding too dense a shade
upon grain land and selecting the right
stock; but a treeless road anywhere
outside the desert is a reproach to
those who live upon it.-Saturday Eve

ORIGIN OF KANGAROO"

The kangaroo derived it's name
from an amusing blunder. When Eng,
fish sailors landed at Australia they
were amazed by the curious nature of
the animal, both by it's strange habit
of hopping along and also by the way
in which it pouched its young. In
quiring of a native what it was, the
black replied, Kan go ROOF" what
do you mean?) The sailors took this
as a reply to their question, and the
queer animal goes down the ages in
leaps of interrogation.

MONUMENT TO CATTLE HORSE

One Of the most unique monuments
In Lake View cemetery, Seattle,
Wash. is shaft of gray marble erect
ed to horse. The owner, W. l. wad-
leigh, was a cattle man in the Yakima
Valley. His horse, Buck" was his
most efficient helper both in cutting
out" a COW or steer and in protecting
his master in time of danger. Buck"
could be depended upon to find his
way in the worst storm, and more
than once he swan the Columbia river
and guided his master, who carefully
held on to Bucks" tail. When Mr..
Wadleigh retired from business and
came to Seattle to live, he brought
with him this favorite horse and at
his death erected the monument with
the following inscription:
