Scientists Have Traced the

The germ theory Of disease is no longer
q theory, but a proven fact. In the treat

causes. which are the disease germs. Then
nothing remains but to quiet nervous ex-
element, restore normal action OF the
capillarles. and put the body into a healthy
condition. DR.. Kings Royal GermetueP
meets every one OF these requirements az
no other single remedy known to medical
science can. 1t Is the greatest Of all germ
destroyers. and promptly removes the
cause of disease. 1t is a most efficient
remedy for allaying nervous excitement,
stimulating the debilitated capillaries,
~equaliZing the circulation and bringing
about a normal condition Of the system.
No other medicine is required except that
of a vegetable liver tonic and laxative.
For this purpose, use Germetuer Pills.

wonderful powers as a germicide. remove

Future.

In cities the range Of vision seldom
ascends beyond the first story Of the
buildings aligning our streets. It Is
therefore evident that many people, II
confined night and day to commercial
centers, would not see even the little
smack of nature afforded by a study of
or casual look at the sky. We must,
then, create natural scenery in the
city or at least reproduce nature as
far as lies in our power when circum-
scribed by the demands Of traffic and
influences, must be forced upon other
wise purely artificial city scenes. This
is possible only through small neigh
borhood parks, street trees and
planted %parkings, no matter how mar
row and ribbon-like the latter me-
be.

Municipal Art Not Crochet Work.

Raymond Irwin, the greatest Of

hasn't much time for a formerly com,
non conception Of civic art. He says:
80 long as art is regarded as q
trimming, a species Of crochet work
to be stitched In ever-increasing guam
titles to the garments of life, 1t is vain
to expect its true Importance to be rec.
ognized. Civic art Is too often under
stood to consist of filling our streets
with marble fountains, dotting our
squares with groups Of statuary, twin
ing our lampposts with wriggling
acanthus leaves or dolphin's tails, and
our buildings with meaningless bunch
es Of fruit and flowers tied up with i'm.
