To Keep Young and Attractive
BY LILLIAN YOUNG.

It is a question in the minds Of some
authorities whether the value OF exercise
merely for the sake of exercise IL not

are certain-namely, that there is much
need Of better directed exercise. and that
exercise through sport. II rightly directed.

EXHIBIT AND CONFERENCE
ON MENTAL HYGIENE

Citizens of Pennsylvnia who are
interested in the organized efforts of
the State Public Charities Associa-
tion to reduce the alarming amount
of insanity in the State, will be given
an opportunity to inspect the Ma
tional Exhibit on Mental Hygiene
which attracted worldwide attention
last September at its initial appear
ance in the city of Washington.
Through the enterprise of number
of leading citizens of the state, ar
rangements have been made to have
this exhibit presented at city hall,
Philadelphia, between March Is and
22 inclusive. The executive commit
tee which has charge of the exhibit
and conference on Mental Hygiene
met Monday at Philadelphia to make
arrangements for local exhibition
of the status of the insane and
feeble-minded in this state as a part
of the national exhibit.
Pennsylvania is fortunate in being
one of the first states in the Union to
receive this exhibit from the nation
al committee for Mental Hygiene.
Thousands of people have already
inspected it in New York and Con-
necticut, and Pennsylvanians should
take advantage of their opportunity
to see 1t during the conference at
Philadelphia.

year. Here you charge me 81 for pole
tax again this year. have no poles in

had in my yard last year. My wife
hangs the washing on the roof to keep
from having poles in the yard"
Mr.. Miller explained that he was
taxed on his poll and said:
"That sort of tax bears the expense
Of the elections. You go home and tell
your wife she can have all the clothes
poles in her yard she needs and there
won't be a cent of tax on them"

payer, a German. tits getting me all

GETTING A HOME AT
THE PRICE OF RENT.
The Way IL is Done in Lestershire
and Endicott-Time to Build is
When You Can Pay Rent.

In Honesdale under the modern
plan of home building, rent money
goes to pay for the house; so that
the time to build is when you are
able to pay rent. The size and ele-
gance of your house will depend up
on the amount of rent you are able
to pay.
Before you can actually begin to
build of course you must own your
building lot free and clear, and to
you must have savings. Beyond that
you need only to be able to pay rent
to transfer to your own pocket
what you have previously been pay
ing to the landlord--in order to
own your own home. In short, the
modern way to build home is to be-
come your own landlord.
The plan is like this: For any man
who owns a building lot free and
clear, a building and loan society, or
savings and loan society, as it is
now called, will erect a home, TAX
ing as security for payment a first
mortgage on the house and lot.
This mortgage the home owner pays
off by monthly payments of $40 on
each thousand dollars of the loan.
On a $1,000 house therefore your
payments would be $40 month, on
a $4,000 house $40 a month, and so
on. Half of this money goes to pay
the interest, half toward reducing
the principal of the loan. In some
thing more than IL years the mort
gage is paid off and the house be-
comes your own. Merely by paying
rent to yourself you have acquired
a home.
OF course there will be additional
expenses for taxes, water rent and
repairs. These costs can be COM
puted approximately in advance and
should be provided for in the yearly
budget. Then, too, there will be a
period during the actual construction
of the house when you will be under
the double expense of continuing to
pay rental for your old home and
making payments on the new. If
your regular income is not sufficient
to meet this double expense, then
you will need savings to carry you
over this period.
Those who do not like the build
ing and loan can often secure
straight loans from banks or private
lenders. Such loans have the disad-
vantage of being payable in lump
sum, and experience shows that it
is harder to pay off mortgage in
this way than by the building and
loan plan.

CHEAPER RATES ON
PARCEL POST.
Postmaster General Hitchcock Sug-
gests That Development of Ser
vice May Bring Them.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 6.-Post-
master General Hitchcock's annual
report, made public recently, tenta-
lively suggests reduction of some par
eel post rates and increasing the
limit of weight beyond eleven
pounds; recommends civil pensions
for postal employees; an increase in
rates on second class mail which
may pave the way for one cent letter
postage; the consolidation of the
third and fourth classes SO books and
papers may be forwarded by parcel
post; and points out that during his
administration, expense of operating
the postal service has been out done
$45, 100000.
In course of a statement of the
condition of postal finances, Mr..
Hitchcock says in his report:
"The year preceding the present
administration was marked by the
largest postal deficit on record
amounting to s17,5OO,OOO. During
the next two years the deficit was
greatly reduced and later eliminated
When compared with the financial
showing of four years ago the reports
of income and expense for subse-
quent years indicate an aggregate
saving of about $45, 100000.
"The transformatio of a deficit
into a surplus has been accomplished
not by curtailing the service, but by
developing it along profitable lines.
While postal facilities have been
greatly enlarged, extensions have not
been made in haphazard manner,
but only when shown on investiga-
ton to be justified by conditions"
The establishing of postal savings
banks at presidential postoffices was
completed early in the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1912,-the year COW
cred by the report. Since then the
system has been extended to 4,O04
fourth class postofficeC, as well as to
645 branch offices and stations in the
larger cities. There are now 12,-
S12 postal savings banks at which
patrons may open accounts. The
number of depositors is approximate
ly 100000 and the deposits aggre-
gate about $2S,00O,000, not includ-
ing $1,314,14 withdrawn and in
vested in postal savings bonds.
