POINT ABOUT HOUSE NUMBER
Should Always Be so Arranged AZ
Easily to Be Read From Street
or Sidewalk.

A small detail Of the new home
Is tie house number, yet it is not
an insignificant one. II is an extreme
ly useful detail and should occupy q
position in keeping with its useful
ness.
Even the commonplace house num-
Der furnishes opportunities for novel
ty and originality in its display. Con-
spicuousness is its prime requisite;
therefore any unusual feature in the
architecture Of the entrance-pillars
or porches-may make a very salts
factory background for these numbers,
and afford due prominence to them.
In case the house sets far back
from the street, with an approach of
cement steps, a good idea is to place
the number in dark colors upon the
riser OF one of the steps near the
street.
Should the approach be a brick or
cement walk the numbers may be ap-
piled equally well to that. Sometimes
a cement block at the curb may con-
tain the number.
Should one desire an illuminated
number-a great convenience for the
stranger, the glass globe of the en-
trance porch lamp may be used as a
medium.

VALUE OF TREES IN STREETS
Matter Is Becoming Universally Rec
oonized as Highly important Part
of City Planning.

We occasionally find in the public
print a news item that gives especial
qualification because 1t marks some
progressive step in n or another di-
rection. Such q note is that from
Bridgewater, Mass, wherein the tree
warden Of that town, in support OF
claims for the loss Of trees by escap-
ing Illuminating gas. makes the asser-
ton that the destruction OF good
healthy shade trees on property de-
creases its valuation at least 20 per
cent. That is good doctrine and we
hope it will be affirmed in the court
should court action be found neccs'
sary to collect compensation in this
instance. Gas and electric companies
will not be so careless regarding in
jury to trees, public or private, when
the public come to a full realization
Of their rights and a proper estimate
| Of the intrinsic value Of growing trees
as property and as material assets in
computing the worth of a town from
O practical as we'll as an esthetic
standpoint. Massachusetts has good
tree warden laws and as a rule her
towns have been blessed with good
earnest officials who have performed
the duties of their position in a most
able, conscientious and public-spirited
manner.

PRAISE FROM
MINISTER'S WIFE
Tells Of Her Long Suffering and
How She Found Relief. Husband
Joins In Commenting Cardui.

Waynesville, N. C.-Mrs. Joseph
Fry, wife Of the Pastor Of Jonathan
Circuit, Western North Carolina Con-
ference, M. E. Church South, writes:
About 1899, about fifteen years ago,
I had a severe case of Typhoid Fever
and a relapse, which left me In a very
bad condition, which got worse all the
time. Was so nervous, could not stay
in the room alone for five minutes, and
l was irregular . My nervousness
was an awful worry to ME and my
friends, and l couldn't sleep for four
or five nights at a time. The doctors
would often have to give me something
to make me sleep Could do none
Of my work and had to keep a cook.
I then began taking Cardui and after
I had taken half a bottle l felt | was
improving and not SO very long after
wards l was able to 60 to church
After l had taken four or five bottles,
l vas able to turn off my cook and do
my own work, and | got back my cor
rect mental condition, for l had been
SO nervous and absent minded, since
my illness . II was also able to re-
turn to school and resume my studies
and my piano lessons at Trinity Col
lege where l was In attendance"
Rev. Mr.. Fry writes: "She cannot
praise Cardui too highly. 1t is we'll
worth what 1t costs. l will recommend
1t to any lady in poor health"
Can you doubt the merit OF Cardui,
in the face Of such evidence? Give it a
trial. All good druggists sell Cardui.

Information for Farmers.

The cultivation Of drug plants in
the United States, concerning which
there has been considerable agitation
since the outbreak Of the present war
in Europe, is the subject Of a farmers
bulletin recently issued by the de-
partment OF agriculture. This publ
cation gives, in addition to general
instructions regarding cultivation.
harvesting and marketing, specific and
detailed information concerning about
sixty Of the leading drug plants which
have been grown in this country. The
author, W. w. S~tockberger, takes a
conservative view of the possibilities
offered by this branch Of agriculture
in this country, and especially depre-
Gates the extravagant claims made in
some quarters by persons interested
in the sale OF plants and seeds, who
ask "the public to believe that extra
ordinary profits may be realized from
growing medicinal plants, even in a
situation no more promising than the
