He who sleeps with his windows
closed makes his bed in a coffin.
There is no reason to be surprised
when tuberculosis comes along and
fastens down the lid. If all mankind
could live out of doors all the time,
and not too closely together, tuber-
culosis would die out in one or two
generations Since this ideal condi-
ton cannot be achieved, not even for
the sake of battling humanity's worst
enemy, the next best thing is to bring
as much out of doors as possible into
our houses, and especially into our
sleeping rooms.
There is nothing which so quickly
lowers vitality to the point where tho
tubercle bacillus can get in its work
as breathing stale, close, lifeless, Inn
pure air during the hours OF sleep.
There is nothing which builds up the
resisting powers of the body moro
quickly than an abundant supply OF
fresh air, particularly at night. II
sleeping out of doors will cure con-
sumption, as it has done many time.
surely it will go far toward keeping
healty person from getting con-
sumption. 1t is not always possible
for city dwellers to take their beds
out of doors, but, at least, they can
open windows and let out of doors
| come in.

Real estate dealers and speculative
builders in the larger cities and sub
urban towns have long realized that
every dollar spent in making more at
.tractive the interior of the houses that
they offer will come back ten-fold in
the increased selling price that can be
obtained or the larger rental that can
| be asked.
One may say that he is building a
house for himself, that he has no in
tention of selling, but expects to live
in the house for the rest of his life
and do without the frills if only the
! house is big enough to accommodate
the actual needs. What, therefore, is
the necessity of considering selling OF
rental value?
There is an old and very true pro
verb, that Man proposes. but God dis
/ poses;' and though man may be
building home. circumstances may IL
time arise that make the sale or rent
ing of the house imperative, and every
feature that adds to its selling OF
rental value will be doubly appreci
ated. Death may make it necessary tt
sell the house in order to settle the
estate. Business reasons that canno1
| be foreseen often compel man, mucf
against his inclinations, to move tt
some distant part of the country; ant
have found out by personal expert
ence that there is nothing more un
satisfactory as an investment than rea
estate which is so far away that the
owner cannot see for himself whethe
repairs asked for by the tenant ar,
really needed or not, but must be com
pelled to depend upon the word of tn,

built-in book cases on each side and

also an attractive feature, adding
greatly to the charm of the place. A

mortgage has been paid off he will add
these features that he has omitted;
but he forgets that it will cost very
much more to add them later than to
put them in at the time of building;
to say nothing of the fact that those
things which we put off until another
time are very apt to be left undone.
1t would be far wiser to cut down
in some of the hidden features that he
may regard as essential, than to omit
those which show upon the surface
and which make the difference be-
tween box-like barracks and a home.

ERUPTION DIsFIGURED FACE

Lock Box 35, Maurice, Ia.-"In the
spring of 1911 our little daughter, age
five years, had a breaking out on her
lip and part of her cheek that we
took for ringworm. 1t resembled a
large ringworm, only it differed in
that it was covered with watery blis-
ters that itched and burned terribly,
made worse by her scratching it.
Then the blisters would break through
and let out a watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at
night When the eruption was at its
worst the teacher of the school sent
her home and would not allow her to
attend until the Disagreement of her
face was gone.

Cuticura Soap and Ointment, which
we used according to directions, and
they gave instant relief, SO we bought

"Trace 1t Back Club" of Albany, NJ.
", Has Good Idea to Do
Away With Gossip.

In Albany, N. Y, they have an or
ganization called the Trace 1t Back
club. 1t was organized twelve years
ago as the outcome of an inquiry as
to who had set certain false story
afloat. A party of men were in a
cafe when a statement was made that
practically accused a well-known citi-
zen of crookedness.
I'D like to see that story trace<.
back" said one of the men at the
table, "for there's not the slightest
truth in it, in my opinion
well, let's organize club to do
it." said another.
So the club was formNd and COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
statement. The story was run down
within two days.
The club, elated over it's success
adopted bylaws and arranged to meet
regularly. Whenever a man opened
his mouth to accuse somebody the
president merely began: 81 appoint
as committee of Investigation
and he seldom got further. The Trace
1t Backs have had many ups and
downs and the membership has
thinned out considerably, but there
are enough still on hand to practice
and preach their principles.

Character OF Paper.
The exact te7ms of this important
provision as TO the character of paper
upon which the regional reserve banks
may furnish cash are as follows:
Upon the Endorsement of any of its
member banks, with a waiver of de-
| mand notice and protest by such
banks, and federal (regionaD reserve
banks may discount notes, drafts, and
bills of exchange arising out of act
ual commercial transactions; that Is,

| federal reserve board to have the
right to determine or define the char
acter Of the paper thus eligible for
| discount, within the meaning of this
act.
Eligible for Discount.
| Nothing in this act contained shall
be construed to prohibit such notes,
| drafts and bills of exchange. secured
by staple agricultural products, or 9TH
er goods, wares, or merchandise, from

curities, except bonds and notes of the
government of the United States.
The ELASTIC" Element.
The new treasury notes, which are
to furnish the elastic" element in the
| currency system, and to add to the
| country,s circulating money in time of
need, will come into use in the follow
| ing way:
! The notes will be printed by the gov

| each regional reserve bank One OF
| the three directors named by the fed

bank will be known as the federal re

ply of the notes will be placed in his
custody.
Should regional bank desire to
pay out more money than its cash re-
sources will permit. the law provides
that it may put some of its rediscount-
ed commercial paper into the hands
of the federal reserve agent" and re-
ceived in return the new treasury
notes.
For each note that it puts out into
circulation, the regional reserve bank
must set aside In gold 40 per cent. of
the value of the note as guarantee
for it's redemption. This gold, with
the commercial paper held by the
federal reserve agent" is the pro-
lection behind the new money; but
these notes will also be guaranteed by
the government and may be redeemed
in gold in the United States treasury.
Reserve Required.

must keep a reserve of IS per cent OF
the deposits it has received, besides

None of the existing forms of cur<
rency except the national bank notes
will be disturbed by the new law. The

are to be taken up at the rate of s25,.

serve banks and new treasury notes
or short term three per cent. bonds
will take their placs. National bank
currency is expected gradually to re-

The federal reserve board will exer-
else final control over the entire op-
Grafton of the system. It can compel

in time of need; can suspend all re.
strictions surroundings the reserves
which regional banks must hold, and
can remove directors of regional re-

necessary.

ant than with the landlord. At such
time, the owner realizes that anything
which by catching the eye and the
fancy of the prospective purchaser
makes a house sell more readily is
something decidedly to his advantage.
The man who is compelled to borrow
money in order to build his house,
usually endeavors to keep the sum that
he borrows down to the lowest pos
sibIe notch, and will cut down
wherever he can in order to accom-
plish this object. But it is possible to
carry this pruning too far. To the
man unfamiliar with the cost of build
ing, the things which appear to be
most expensive are those items Of in
terror finish and decoration which add
the touch of elegance and refinement
to the house. For the sake of saving
from $l6G te s5an-and often nearer
the former figure than the latter-he
will omit such items as fireplaces.

Gas or electric fixtures are another
item that can, If necessary, be post

But those features which are built
into the house and which form an es-
sential part of the construction or the
