What the banks and great IL
nancial institutions are to com
merce and the big business in
terests, the homestead associat-
ions, commonly known as build
ing and loan associations, are to
the masses whose means do not
warrant the borrowing of large
sums of money on collateral.
Those associations have put
within the reach Of thrifty man
or woman the power to own his
or her own home. They have
therefore been powerful factors
in increasing the number Of
home owners N every community,
and to that extent they have i'm
proved the character Of our cit
izenship and stimulated thrift and
industry.

crease in real estate transfers
over May. 1912. is over Sl70, 600
and the contracts for new homes
exceed May, 1912, by fourteen
and in amount nearly $50. 600.
This shows a large increase in
business for the associations, and
the number OF new homes con-
'racied foris especially CRAFTY ing.
These facts demonstrate that
the people Of New Orleans are
fast becoming home owners and
that they realize that the building
and loan system is the best
through which to obtain homes.

RAISING LETTUCE
IN EARLY SPRING
One of the Hardest of Garden
PIants-Method of One
Practical Gardener.

There are few green vegetables on
the farm table relished SO much as
the first lettuce in spring.
Lettuce is one of the hardest of all
the garden plants, and the seed may
be sown even before all the frost is
out of the ground. In fact, the crisp
est and best-favored lettuce is grown
in cool and moist atmosphere. and
the sooner in the spring it can be pro-
duced the better it will be in every
way.
A practical gardener of many years
experience has a bed of the very finest
lettuce from two weeks to a month
ahead of all her other neighbors. This
is the way she does it:
The location for the bed always on
the south side of the grape arbor, in
a very high, dry, sheltered place.
About the middle of winter this bed
is heavily MANFRED with the finest,
we'll decomposed stable manure that
can be procured, with a liberal pro-
portion of poultry droppings.
The manure is not simply scattered
on the soil, but piled on TOUR TO SIX
inches deep. Very early in March
when the soil can be spaded the bed is
dug up and prepared for planting. and
at the first mild spell in spring the
seed is sowr.
Around the lettuce bed is placed
rude wooden frame, and over the frame
is spread old mating and old carpets
when it freezes, or the weather is very
severe.
The covering does not prevent the
ground or young plants from freez-
ing, but it prevents sudden freezing
and thawing, and hold the temperature
at a mild degree.
On warm days the covering is re-
moved, and the lettuce is ready to use
often before the lettuce in the other
gardens is up.

SUNFL0WER SEED
FOR THE POULTRY
Considered to Be Equal to Flax
seed to Mix With Other
Grains for Hens

Sunfower seed is largely fed by
poultrymen and is considered to be
equal to faxseed to mix with other
grains as winter food for laying
hens. 1t is especially valuable to feed
during the season of noting.
In Russia the sunfiower is grown for
human food, the seed being ground.
the oil pressed out and the cake, when
fresh, is mixed with rye flour and
made into bread, which is said to be
both nutritious and palatable Sun
flower cake is equal to cottonseed
meal for cows and nearly equal to
1axseed meal for horses and hogs.
Any good soil that will grow corn
will grow the sunflower. 1t is a hardy
plant. a vigorous, rapid grower, and a
desirable plant to grow about the
home because of its bright, cheerful
yellow blossoms. The plant when in
bloom will supply the honey bees
with food for several weeks, saws a
writer in the Baltimore American.
The Russian is the best variety. Four
quarts of seed will plant an acre. The
seed should be planted the latter part
of April Plant in four-foot rows, drop
two to three seeds 20 inches apart in
the row, give clean culture. An acre
of good land will give a yield of 20
to 50 bushels of seed. The stalks when
dry make excellent kindling. Select
deep rich, mellow, welldrained land.
The single-headed Russian variety
will give a larger yield of seed than
the American sunfiower.
Single heads of the Russian sun
flower have been grown to measure
II inches across the face and to have
yielded over 2,100 fully developed
seeds to the head. One-quarter acre
of land would produce enough seed
for several hundred laying hens. Good
new crop seed may be had for ~
cents a pound.

RESINOL CURED
AWFUL PIMPLES
Whole Face Covered, Now Clear.

Brooklyn, N. Y, Oct. 9, 1912. 81 was
troubled with two or three pimples
coming out on my chin. In a week or
so my whole face was covered with
them. Friends advised me to use diff
ferent lotions and salves. l tried them,
but they did me little good, if any. l
finally washed the pimples with Res
mol Soap and applied Resinol Oint-
ment before going to bed. In the morn
ing l found the swelling gone down,
and the Inflammation gone from the
pimples. | tried this treatment for
about a week, and found that most of
the pimples had disappeared. l kept
the treatment up for about a month,
and then my face was clear of all
pimples. l have used Resinol Soap
since and find that the pimples do not
come back" IS. ned) Walter A.

WAS NOT TRYING TO FLIRT
Girl Artists Entirely Misunderstood
the Action Of Model Posing
Before Them.

In 2 New York studio large class
of women and girls were Bketching
from semi-nude model a young 1tal-
ian who was posed with his head
thrown back. his arms Enthusiastically
wreathed over his head, and his legs
extended in some sort OF wild Bac-
chanalian caper. One young woman
was sketching tie models shoulder,
when she observed that he was smil-
ing at her in a very familiar manner
Somewhat Disconnected to discover
that she had apparently made con-
quest of this guileless child of Italia,
she began to sketch his knee, as more
remote from the artillery of his senti-
mental chances. In remote corner Of
the room giggling arose, and she per
ceived that the smiles Of the fiirta-
tious model were taking effect upon
some lively girls among the students.
They subsidized shortly, but the young
Italian still continued firing off smiling
glances in every direction. At about

One of the striking features in pres
ent day home building is the popular
ity of the square type of houses of
the Italian villa style. This has been
dubbed by some dry goods box
architecture, but nevertheless it has
gained a wonderful popularity and de-
serves our approval, because of the
simple beauty, economy and conven-
fence of this style of house
This is a thoroughly modern devel.
opment in home architecture. 1t
marks the other extreme from the
elaborate, badly cut up houses cover
ed with fret work and jig-saw orna-
mentation which were so popular a
generation ago.
The accompanying design is a very
good example of this new style of
home architecture. Its simple, mass
i've lines possess real dignity and
beauty and the square outline of the
house makes it most economical to
build and at the same time permit a
very convenient and satisfactory ar
rangement of the interior.
For a house of this size, 81 feet G
inches by 20 feet inches, Just about
the maximum amount of spaciousness
is secured by the arrangement shown
IN the first floor plan. The livins
room is u by 10 feet with the dining
room alcove u by IA feet. An open
stairway ascending to the second floor
occupies the end of the living room.
The kitchen is just large enough to
provide space for the proper culinary
activities. A large pantry with built

going on. About 20 days later the
pupa wriggles itself out of the cocoon,
its skin splits down the middle of the
back, and out crawls the adult moth
ready for flight.
This moth is rarely seen, because it
flies at night, and during the day re-
mains motionless or hides under the
bark almost invisible.
Its front wings have the appearance
of brown watered silk crossed by nu-
merous lines of gray and brown scales
something like the plumage of a bird
On each front wing is a large dark
brown spot marked with streaks Of
bronze or gold.
The moths begin to lay their eggs
at once. The egg upon leaf or fruit
looks like a small white blister about
the size Of pin-head. They hatch in
about five or ten days AS soon as
the young worm crawls from the egg

This Applies to Cats.

1t is a fact that a lions or a tigers
whiskers once taken off will never
grow again. These animals shed their
hair ordinarily once year, all except
the whiskers. The shedding depends
entirely upon the climate, and there is
a peculiar connection with it.
Men who have taken wild animals
from Asia and Africa to Europe say
that they never knew lion or tiger
or any animal of the cat species to
20 through the Red sea without chang
ing coat. They will shed at Suakim
and come out with hair fresh and
glossy as silk, and yet, going through
the Red sea they will shed again No
one has been able to account for it,
but it is a fact, nevertheless.
