itching. When the barber would

all property in American towns ad.
vances in value
There is another very great advan-
tage In owning a home, and that is
the comfortable feeling you have OF
being a landed proprietor and the
fact that you are not obliged to have
your rent money ready promptly
when the month comes round. You
can plant tree or a shrub or some
slower bulbs without the permission OF
the landlord, you can make altera-
lions in the house when 1t suits your
convenience. and if'the house or neigh
borhood is not to your liking. you can
rent 1t and borrow the money to build
another. and the rent from the old one
will help pay for the new.
A little house like the one illus
trated here may be made attractive
by making nice lawn and plant
ing few trees and flowers. The
lawn is most essential and at the same
time the most difficult undertaking
on the average town lot The ground
often is not very good. 1t is mixed
with cellar earth and rubbish that is
not well calculated for a good seed
bed for grass. II is easy to put the
ground in proper shape, however, II
the job Is started from the bottom.
The ground must be plowed deep, and
thoroughly worked to get the objec-
tionable grass roots out OF 1t. The
condition of the soil will determine
whether to seed the first year or the
second year. II there is no humus in
the soil It will pay to cover 1t thick
with coarse manure and pillow 1t under.
This again leads to complications In
the moisture problem, but If you have
hose attachment you can easily keep
the ground moist. The top two or
three inches of earth must be repeat

some such implement. every other
day for week or two to kill the weeds
as they sprout, then II the top is
well mixed with a good commercial
fertilizer the grass seed may be sown
and you have lawn that will last as
long as you want 1t. lawn that will
be green when others are parched

A little house we've got, on a flower
powered lot. in a hustling. breezy. busy
little city; it's big enough for two,
for our wants are very few; there's
only just myself and little Kitty.
A simple little house like this is
very much like going back to first
principles, but It furnishes accommo-
dation for a small family, just as well
as more elaborate affair. We all
have acquaintances, especially among
our older friends who commenced life
simply and who are now enjoying the
accumulations resulting from frugal
ity and good management.
IL young couple forms the habit
OF paying rent they are very likely to
pay rent as long as they live.
We often hear the remark that 1t
is cheaper to rent than to own your
own property. There never was a
more foolish or misleading state
ment. The man who lives in a rented
house seldom gets ahead financially.
This holds good whether he is work
Ing on salary or is conducting a bust
ness on his own account It would be
difficult to say why, but It probably
is because In the majority of cases
renter fails to give attention to the
advancing value Of real estate.
| knew a man, a clerk In a lubricat-
ing oil mandatory who rented new
house on pleasant street about 20
years ago. At first he paid $40 per
month, but in seven or eight years
time the rent was raised to $25. He
is still living In the same house and ia
nov paying $35 per month. The house
has not improved with age, and he
is continually looking about to better
his condition. but can find no other
property that suits him so well or that
he can rent at cheaper rate in pro-
portion to the advantages he now
has. He has paid enough rent to buy
the house. to pay all street improve
ments, city taxes, insurance and re-
pairs. He tells me he was offered
the property years ago for $4,000,
which he thought was too much
money. The lot itself is worth more
than that today. ........

similar ones that have come to my
notice. 1t is not always that a neigh
borhood improves so rapidly and sub.

Tonic Thar WW Keep fte Borceis
Gently Active.

Healthy old age is SO absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the bow
els that great care should be taken to
see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty of
exercise, but this latter is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is GER
tain, that state of constipation should
always be avoided, as it is dangerous
to life and health. The best plan is
to take a mild laxative as often as is
deemed necessary. But with equal GER
tainty It Is suggested that cathartics,
purgatiyes, physics, salts and pills be
avoided. as they do but temporary good
and are so harsh as to be a shock to a
delicate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take gentle laxative-tonic
like DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin, which
acts as nearly like nature as is possible.
In fact, the tendency of this remedy
is to strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles and so train them to act natu-
rally again, when medicines of all
kinds can usually be dispensed with.
