writer and novelist, is a great lover
of folks and makes friends with all
sorts and conditions of men, One day
while on an outing in the OZarks he
got a hill billy who was something
OF character to accompany him on q
fishing excursion in order to study the
type. The two men spent the day in
the woods together and returned to
camp old friends and then Mr.. Handy
learned that he was not the only one
on the expedition who had been study
ing his companion. AS they shook
hands in parting the hill billy said:

are now installed into these small
modern up-to-date houses in such
way that life is rendered more enjoy
able than ever before in the history
of dwellings, and what makes it all
seem almost too good to believe, more
like dream than reality, is the fact
that all this may be enjoyed by any
Woodworking couple with no capital
except their hands and willingness to
work.
Take a house like this, for example,
that is only "a by % feet in size, and
you have six good, satisfactory rooms,

easy access to the other parts OF the
house, and with all the modern i'm
provements at price ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000, according to the loca-
ton, local conditions and style of
finish.
A house could easily vary $1,000 in
cost by the difference In materials.
For instance, a heating plant large
enough to keep the house comfortable
may be purchased for $500, or a sys-
tenn of heating costing $500 or $500
may be put in. A difference of $500

When you go through a house in
this way from cellar to roof it is easy
to make a variation of $1,000 even in
a small house. But no matter how
cheap the material or how hard the
workmen are driven to finish the iob
within certain time limit, such
houses are not complete without the
very best plumbing that can possibly
be secured. In this sense the best
does not always mean the most ex
pepsive. An iron pipe may be Just
as sanitary as one made Of copper
nickel-plated but what is meant by
the best in this sense is a thorough
plumbing system, properly proper
toned to the house, we'll trapped and

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee

Many cases Of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use of coffee.
1t is said that In Arabia where COT

lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, an
coffee.
A N. J. woman writes to the pofns
concerning eye trouble and coffee
She says:
MY son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds of
glasses without relief. The opttcian
said there was a defect In his eyes
which was hard to reach.
He used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit 1t and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
II was always fond Of tea and coffee
and finally became SO nervous could

within itself the elements for its own
destruction. Man himself. OF course,
as a part Of the universe, is subject
to all these laws, and therefore, as
might be expected. the elements for
our own self-destruetion are to be
found in the very instincts and facul-
ties that raise us superior to the brute.
Wrongfully used memory, Imagination

cation.
The history OF the past 10000 years
as indelibly written in the substance
of the earth itself proves civilization
to be an intermittent and recurrent
phenomena. Nations rise, bloom and
decay because with the accumulation
of material wealth the pressure of ne
cessity decreases and the individual
citizen, ceasing to strive, relaxes and
becomes soft or prematurely senile-
even neurasthenic, if you please.
When weary it is very easy and very
pleasant to relax and sink into that

lies the danger, for it is in that state
one so readily become interpretive
and by imperceptible stages drifts
into self-sympathy and self-pity and
quickly becomes self-conscious and
self-centered.
A self-centered mind is like a root
bound plant: unless the roots are
shaken out and freed so they may con-
tinuously reach out into new soil that
plant will surely sicken and die. Smash
the pot and the roots will shoot out
into new soil and the plant will grow
and thrive. Just so the self-centered
mind must break out of it's shell of
self and forget itself in working, fight
ing, striving for something worth
while.

The demand for six-room houses is
increasing During these prosperous
years thousands of young men as well
as older men have accumulated lit
tie money and have grown tired Of
paying rent, which has resulted in a
determination to own homes of their
own.
From watching the building of small
houses their interest has increased.
They have sent for books of house
plans and studied the different de-
signs and have finally selected houses
to suit their needs and to fit their
bank accounts. Usually arrangements
are made with some contractor, who
is forehanded enough to build house,
take a small payment down and a
lien on the property as security for
the balance of the purchase price.
These deals have increased until
they number up into the thousands
in all thickly-settled parts of the coun.
try, and the sign is a good one. The
best class of citizens live in their own
homes; a fact that is recognized the

The dominating instinct in man is
fear and this is why self-contempla-
ton is dangerous. There are many
store rooms in the basement of mans
consciousness, commonly known as
the sub-conscious mind, and in these
dark and forgotten corners many
strange things are stored, only wait
ing for the opportunity when they
may come forth to puzzle and con-
found us.
There is nothing mysterious or ter
rible about the subconscious phenom-
ena If, with full knowledge of the
laws of the universe, of which we are
part, we frankly consider ourselves
link in the chain of life extending
from an incomprehensibly remote past
to an equally incomprehensible and re-
mote future.
We deem it not at all strange, mere
ly because we happen to be familiar
with the fact, that there are handed
down to us strong memories out of the
remote past in the form Of striking re-
semblances to a grandparent, or to
| a great-grandparent, or to one even
still more remote. All inherited traits
are but cell memories; then why
strange or mysterious that there should
be handed down to US in the same way
and from the same source out Of that
misty past, dim memories, vague and
nebular. but none the less memories,
of past long left behind in the ad
vancing consciousness Of the race?
In these latent impressions will be
found the key to the very pitiful truth
that the dominant impression in the
mind of man is that of fear, and that
this is undoubtedly the source of those
so-called causeless terrors of early
childhood coming at period before
terror should be known, and in later
years coming to us so furtively in the
night and in all weakened conditions
due to illness, to sudden surprise, or
to relaxation from any cause, a fear
impossible to overcome by any reason
ing because it was burned into our
sympathetic nervous systems back In
the past when devils lurked behind
every leaf and man was in constant
terror of the unknown.
With the dawn of more intelligent
comprehension of the universe there
has come an appreciation that natures
movements are so vast and contain so
many complex and never to be under
stood forces that balance and counter
balance each other, that ones conf
dence In ones self is always in inverse
proportion to ones knowledge of the
laws involved. Hence, the most intel
l1gent physician uses the least medi-
cine because he realizes more keenly
than any one else the completely Of
the phenomena with which he has to
deal and the extent to which conclu-
sions are likely to be vitiated by I'M
known factors in the problem. And
today, throughout the world, the issue
is being reverently but boldly met.
The remedy for our ills? To investi-
gate; to think; to become PERSONAL
ties; to lay aside all fads and fancies,
all prejudice, all superstition and ira
dition, and take such steps for the re-
moval Of the known cause as are found
to be necessary in the light of the
truth derived from modern methods
Of scientific investigation-all the
while remembering that the only
strong individuals are those who work,
and that work alone gives courage
