GARDEN CITIES FOR WORKERS
No Factory Plan Can Be Adequate
That Does Not Provide for
Homes for Employees.

Perhaps the ideal OF garden cities
approachable in this country. The
subject at least affords much material
or study.
OF recent date is such a study OF
.wo Cincinnati suburbs by Graham
Romeyn Taylor. who discusses it in
he Survey. A number OF factories
moved from the center of the city to
Norwood and Oakley under favorable
circumstances But their employees
.ailed to move with them. Less than
30 per cent live iH- the two suburbs
Or near by. Only handful may walk
o and from their work. Why? Be
,ause, as Mr.. Taylor believes. there
was no sembiance OF adequate town
planning to embrace the factory work
srs. While the factory managers
made sufficient provision for the dis
ant future OF industry, "a far-sighted
REV of community development is en-
irely lacking. The abode of industry
was thus assured when land was
:heap. Similar assurance for homes
or the workers away from the con
Kested Cincinnati was nobody's con-
sern.''
So Mr.. Taylor concludes that .ons

nearly twenty. might. Nth intelligent
eadership, solve the problem" More
over. THE removal of the factory to
he rim of the big city is not an ade-
luate solution of our civic-industrial
problem If it leaves the workers home
N congestion. or even IL it transports
il to a region where the whole fabric
Of community life is left to remain
andeveloped."
Mistakes undoubtedly win be made
IN the development of the garden city
idea. but they may well lead TO fnal
success in the movement

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit, and finally his stomach

seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
1T was a struggle. because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it
and then it was easy to leave on
coffee.

frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at last
he was new man altogether. as re-
