A woman custome said to us the
other day, Say, you ought to tell ev-
eryone in town about ReXall Dyspep-
sia Tablets, I WI puld' myself If l
could" That set us to thinking. So
many people have used them and have
so enthusiastically sounded their
praises both to us and their friends,
that We had an idea that you all knew
about them. But, in the chance that
some of you who suffer from indiges-
ton, heartburn, dyspepsia, or some
other stomach complaint, don't know
about them we are writing this.
They contain Bismuth and Pepsin,
two of the greatest digestive aids
known to medical science. They
soothe and comfort the stomach, pro-
mote the secretion Of gastric juice,
help to quickly digest the food and
convert it into rich red blood, and
improve the action of the bowels.

to you entirely at our risk unless we
felt sure they would do you a lot OF
good. If Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets do
not relieve your indigestion, check
the heartburn, and make it possible
for you to eat what you like whenev-

A CITY CLUB FOR CHERAW.

The success of the civic clubs, semi
social and semi-commercial, in the
large cities where they stimulate civic
interest and bring citizens together
in the cause Of good government and
community welfare, leads to the
question-Why not a Civic Club in
Cheraw? Many of the small towns in
Wisconsin and other Western states
have their weekly lunch clubs or sim
liar organizations which are proving
forums in which much valuable dis
cussion is held. Such an organiza-
ton In Cheraw would find many
zsrehler,s-@-A>-s-esinsu1Gs
Importance TO discuss anS ~ohld'
stimulate the local civic spirits
A Civic Club should be a powerful
factor in a small town. The gath
ering of our business men for social
and civic purposes would develop
new ideas of town improvement, dis
cuss the things which touch the well
fare of the home, such as pure food,
clean streets and premises, play
grounds, school system and countless
other matters. Moreover, it would
bring the business men into closer
unity for the promotion of their COM
mon interests and achieve actual re-
suits in bettering and boosting the
community. Such an organization
may do much to arouse an enlightened
community to bettering government
and municipal affairs.
1t should not take the place of the
Board of Trade, which is essentially
commercial in its endeavors. The
Civic Clubs purpose should be along
the line of public welfare and lit
tie less connected with the material
side of the town prosperity. 1t would
work for more beautiful things and
greater comforts for the town people.
The two organizations together would
prove a decided advantage for any
community.
We believe there is not a better
community in existence than Cheraw.
And being the best, the Civic Club
can make it better and ought to do
it. Again, let us get together.

March, this year, brought the closed
season on all frivolity. Front begin

tortions permitted only in dance halls.

cards are out of sight, each member

To the Editor of The Star:
! In your issue of July IS you pub

secretary Master House Painters ana
Decorators Association of Washington,
d. c., giving credit to Mr.. Charles Mac
nichol of this city for first having sue
cessfully put into practice the pre-

zinc sulphate of concrete surfaces to
be painted. 1t gives me pleasure to cor
roborate Mr.. Andrews statement, and
also to comment favorably on the mag
nanimity of Mr.. Macnichol in giving
this formula gratuitously to the pub
lie. Having been present at the meet

given publicity, 1 we'll recall its favor

Survey Published Results.
The geological survey. in publishing
the results of investigations of both
paint materials and concrete, was very
glad to assist in disseminating informa-
ton concerning this promising method
OF treatment, and in the chapters from
the Annual Volume of Mineral Re
sources. 1909, on Mineral Paints" and
the Cement Industry" outlines were
given of the Macnichol method, with
due credit to the geni;Si citizen of Wash
ington who suggested it. 1t should be
a source of satisfaction to Mr.. Mac
nichol to know that this method, which
now is officially known as the Mac
nichol method has proved universally
SO satisfactory. The public is greatly
indebted to Mr.. Macnichol, and he is
entitled to all the honor that can be
accorded him for his disinterested serv-
ice. E. F. BURCHARD,

BUILT WITH WRENCH
AND SCREW DRIVER
Novel House Is Constructed of
Porcelain Over Metal
Frame.

Some interesting particulars have
just come to hand regarding a home
of porcelain which can be erected in
few hours with a screw driver and
wrench. 1t is the plan of W. H. Tur-
ner of England, and furnishes the fol-
lowing details:
In the construction of the porcelain
house there is a complete absence of
all absorbent materials. such as brick
and mortar, plaster. whitewash, con-
crete. woodwork and paper. The
complete porcelain house is constructed
as follows: Framework, preferably of
light, rust-proof metal. In this frame
work are fitted the huge porcelain
panels, half an inch thick, six feet long
and three feet wide, Weighing five
pounds to the superficial foot decorat-
ed and glazed on both sides, to resist
wind. storm and weather. with steam
tight joints. made of copper-coated
asbestos tape.
Porcelain is mona bsorbent. insect
and germ proof. fireproof and washa-

warmth-an fnch-thick wall of pure
porcelain glazed on both sides is better
able to keep out cold than an eighteen
inch brick wall. With bricks and NOR.

say, five rooms; a porcelain house OF
the same size can be put up in a few
hours"

Genesis of the House.

Houses were first designed as a place
to seek cover and protection during
sickness, storms and inclement wealth
er. says a bulletin issued by the Chi
cago health department At other
times, when the hardy people did not
need this protection, they used houses
infrequently. From the ancient rude
houses have developed the modern
homes, where summer weather may be
had in deepest winter. The tendency is
for greater comfort and convenience
and the open air propagandist is more
and more meeting popular acclaim.
Sun porcaes. sleeping rooms widely ac-
cessibie both to air and sun rays, are
deemed necessary to the best homes.
But homes of this kind are fewer by
far than the residences of the humber
classes and there are many homes
filled to overcrowding that enjoy only
primitive means for ventilation. Such
houses are simply generating beds for
the bad air diseases. In many cases
tenants may know of their dangers.
but the family purse deters movement
to more healthful surroundings.
1t should be brought home to the
owners of unsafe. dirty and neglected
houses that these should be made de-
cent. A good modern house may al
ways be rented in any city. Profits do
not depend on poor houses. and the
tenant of an old. poorly ventilated,
dangerous firetrap, never painted nor
repaired, does not get his moneys
worth. In short, as rule, he pays
the highest price for the poorest ac-
commodations.

COLD STORAGE BOX
FOR THE WINDOW SEAT
A New Device Said to Make Life
Much Easier for House.
wives.

A description OF a novel "dor est;,
cold storage plant" is given in tho
Dayton Journal as follows:
This is nothing more nor less than
the extension or inclosing of a window,
in the pantry. and besides rour o1d
shutters which the local CARPENTER
supplied secondhand, had notbin.
more than one board at the bottom
Tor a platform, one at the top for the
roof. and two braces at either end to
act as supports.
The object of the extended window
Sill Is to supply cold storage space
for the winter time. Since the lower
sash can be raised and lowered, it is
possible to store fruits, vegetables.
milk. etc. during the fall. winter and
spring months without the purchase of
ice. This scheme might also be utilized
during the summer months for similar
purposes, although by most people an
icebox would be considered essential.
when the lady of the house does her
own work and thriftily avoids the pur-
chase of Ice during the greater portion
of the year. and being at the same time
desirous of keeping things cool, she is
generally obliged to go out of doors,
down two or more steps and into Il
separate vault or box outside of the
house. The simple scheme shown here
with. however. prevents climbing up
and down slippery steps. and has been
found eminently satisfactory Fly
screen is tackled on the inside of the
shutters SO that the lower sash can be
kept open during hot weather, if so
desired. The advantages in brief are
saving of ice. many steps are like
wise rendered unnecessary, the car
penter obtains a job at a fair price in
which he can use secondhand ma
terials, and life is made easier for the
housewife.

COUNTRY'S FIRE LOSS
TOTALS $416 A MINUTE
Is Five Times Greater Than Any in
Europe, Says
Writer.

Fire prevention as q municipal func-
ton is somewhat difficult to deal with
because municipalities so far have done
very little functioning along that line
Municipal fire prevention is compera-
lively new. Though the fire waste in
this country amounts in actual cash,
according to government estimate,
to about 100000 day. or $4,000 an
hour, and has been such for many
years, We have given little thought as
yet to scientific measures for reducing
this enormous waste, writes Joseph O..
Hammitt, chief of the fire prevention
bureau, in the National Real Estate
Journal
The per capita fire loss in this coun-
try Is five times as great as that Of
any country of Europe. 1 gave the
figure Of 100000 a day. which is s416

hres in this country. But this is only
the minor portion of the loss. To ar
rive at fair estimate of what fires
cost US we must include the upkeep
OF nre departments, part of the upkeep
Of water department, and so much Of
the fire insurance premiums as are not
paid out in indemnities. This brings
the cost Of fires up to not less than
s500,00O.0O0 year, which is $125, ,O00, 900

clEARNESS ESSENTIAL
IN BUILDING CONTRACTS
Great Care Should Be Taken to Pre-
vent the Use of Ambiguous
Words.

mat every properly constructed and
reliable building contact be based
upon ethical principles is of vital inn
portance to both the owner and con-
tractor. Because of negligence or some
otner cause where these are omitted
TO be considered the loss to either or
both parties may be disastrous The
nrst essential in the framing of a con-
tract is "clearness of statement" There
should be no ambiguity in the word
ing of each particular item of work
to be done. The class of material and
mode of its manipulation should be
clearly defined. The price should be
calculated upon what it would take to
buy the material (including carriage); !;
also the manipulation of labor upon
the material and fixtures of same in
the building.
The percentage of profit should be
reasonable: otherwise the total amount
of contract may show too great a diff
ference with the other competitors
Great care should be taken in measur-
ing from the plans that nothing be
omitted. and no guess work" should
be resorted to upon any account The
contract should be compiled strictly
upon the principles of honesty and in
tegrity in order that the building may
be constructed and built in the most
thorough and satisfactory manner,
without any loss to either party. Re-
sponsibility rests upon the contractor
for the proper completion of the build
ing as to it's stability, durability and
finish. SO that consideration of these
should be taken into account in calcu-
lating the prices and total cost.
Every item should be included that
is necessary for the proper execution
of the work. as in lump sum offers
nothing is allowed for extras, except a
written order be given for same by the
architect or owner. Consideration
should be taken that the prices will
cover the expense of labor SO as to
give tradesmen adequate and reason
able wages to properly execute the
work; also to meet the accounts OF
merchants who supply the materials
AS regards the stipulated time in which
the building operations are to be COM
pleted, it is advisable that the clause
be inserted, weather. accidents
strikes and other unforeseen circum-
stances that prevent the execution OF
same to be duly considered and allow
