No Enslishmsn Need BE Disturbed.
10 the Editor Of The Times:
In these days Il APPEARS that the
English are not fulfilling the expecta-
tons which their position In the
world warrants. IL Is also apparent
that to outward seeming their whole
well-earned reputation for enterprise
and adaptability and courage Is likely
TO be submerged. The English need
not be disturbed by that. IL the posi-
ton which the English people occupy
In the modern world had been secured
by a weakened, spiritless people. IL
would be nothing less than miracu-
lous, and the good Judgment OF the
world knows II has not been SO won.
Sorrowfully l admit that II seems
possible that the physical stamina oil
our people Is not so vigorous and
hardy as IL used to be, and | think
this attributable to the human ten
dency TO grow slack and comfortable
in times OF peace. and to our change
ful climate. Also the arts OF peace.

do not think We are more free from
the vice OF cupidity than any other

to Judge Il as only a moral weakness,
With regard to the countries on

that which makes England's position
unique In history has been done. She

Of her national character is strongly

Good Citizens Must Unite.

70 the Editor of The Times:
We can plainly see by the results
OF the election on Nov. 3 that IL the
good citizens wish to get rid OF the
deplorable conditions into which our
CITY has fallen, there will have to be
q more united action on the part or
these citizens. Would IL not be ad-
visable to be ready for the next cleo
ton?
know there are some who say II
Is nothing to them how their city Is
run, but Is Il nothing to them? That
Is what Cain said Genesis 4:9-ll):
And the Lord said unto Cain, where
Is Abel. thy brother? And he said,
know not; am my brothers keeper!
And He said, what hast thou dane!
The voice Of thy brothers blood
crieth unto me from the ground.
Those are the words We Will hear
liz we stand by and do nothing. while
thousands OF our brothers and sisters
are ruined annually.
There are some who say We are
taking away their liberty by fghting
the saloon and low dance hall. We
are. We are taking aTay their I'D
erty to ruin our boys and girls.
Some do not believe in the good cit
liens getting up slate. They say
that Is the way the liquor interests
do. That Is just the reason we VIII
have to do the same. There Is an
old saying, cit takes a thief to catch
a thief" We will have to let all per-
sonal feelings slide and work for the
common good. sincerely hope you
good citizens win think this over.

Red Heads. Read This

It may be consoling to light-haired
and red-headed people to read that out
OF l65 patients at an English insane
asylum only one has red hair, and only
four have light hair and complexion.
1t used to be supposed that a pale
complexion specially marked tendency
to mental excitement and brain disor-
der. The statistics, however. show
this to be an error. What is true Of
men Is also true of women; they are,
with one exception in fifty, Clark haired
ana dark hued. It is sometimes the
case thatTthe hair turns white with in
sanity. Probably the error arose from
this fact. The reason why dark people
are more inclined to mental disorder
has not been explained.

Mr.. wiaara 4. Radfcrd win answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers OF TINS
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries

The one subject on the mind of ev-
eryone these days is the high cost OF
living, and that leads us to remark
that there are singular ideas current
on the subject of the cost of home
building. It is not strange that this
should be so. For the bizarre and the
eccentric invariably attract attention
that the orderly and the sedate may
not receive. Perhaps the most singu-
lar of all notions with regard to the
cost-of house, is that a beautiful home
can be acquired at the most moderate
conceivable cost, IL one did but know
how to do it. Doubtless we would all
get rich if we could; and while the
crop of mil1ionaires has been alum
dant In America in recent years, none
will dispute the fact that there are a
few left who do not come in this cate
CORY, and therefore the mere knowing
how to do thing is not nearly so i'm

will not down. It is delusion quite
as widespread as the former notion
that the earth was fiat, and it is quite
as difficult to get rid of. Very few
people can actually point to such
dwellings as really in existence, but
immense numbers will tell you posi-
lively that the thing can be done.
The trouble with the small, cheap,
but very attractive house proposition
is the fact that the, conditions under
which houses are built are not under
stood or appreciated. The actual cost
of building by no means represents the
total expenditure that will be required
in any building enterprise. There are
great many essential matters that
enter into the cost of a dwelling that
