The operation at Chatham and Cambria
streets la different from any In the city,
except other similar operations that have
been undertaken in the past by the Oc-
tavla Hill Association. The plans call
for the erection of 81 houses on Chatham,
Gaul and Cambria streets, and in the
centre of the lot is going to be a big
open space that will serve as n play
ground for the children Of the tenants
in the daytime and as n kind of melting
pot for the adults at night where they
may gather to talk over their common
problems where the men may sit and
smoke their pipes, under more favorable
circumstances than are afforded by the
front-door step, and where the women
likewise may gather, in the open air. to
exchange tales OF their joys and sorrows.
II is expected that all Of the houses
will be ready for occupancy by October
l. and work Is now being rushed, Unlike
most cheap dwellings, these are being
constructed with an eye to the artistic
effect. Some of the houses are set back
a few inches from the street line to
lend variety Each of them will have n
pretty little canopy over the doorway and
the usual monotony of many of Philadel-
phias red-brick rows will be varied by
other touches of the builders art.

decided, on thIs locality. 1t is said that

by many large industrial establishments.
a separate corporation, known as the
Philadelphia Model Homes Company. was
organized, in order to finance this latest
undertaking. When the success of this
venture is demonstrated the same COM
pany will carry along the work in other
neighborhoods. The entire cost. including
the purchase of land and erection of the
dwellings, will be $45, $50 1t is calculated
that the property will return a net in

valuables. 1t is not known whether any
thing of value was taken. The burglars

USING SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very sparing-
ly, if at all, if you want to keep your
hair looking it's best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
Ore or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
~. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lathcr.
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust. dirt. dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright and lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and few ounces
will supply every member of the
family for months.-Adv.

To Put on Flesh
And Increase Weight
A Physicians Advice.

Most thin people eat from four to SIX
pounds Of good solid fat-making food
every day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce. while on the other
hand many OF the plump, chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all the
time. It's all bosh to say that this Is
the nature Of the individual. 1t isn't
Natures way at all.
Thin folks stay thin because Their powers
of assimilation are defective. They absorb
just enough of the food they eat to main
tain life and semblance OF health and
strength. Surfing won't help them A
dozen meals a day won't make them gain
a single stay there pound. All the fat
producing elements of their food just stay
in the intestines until they pass from
the body as waste. What such people
need IL something that will prepare these
fatty food elements that their blood
can absorb them and deposit them all
about the body-something, too, that will
multiply their red blood corpuscles and
increase their blood's carrying power.
For such a condition 1 always recon-
mend eating a Sargol tablet with every
meal. SargOl is not, some believe a
patented drug, but is scientific combina-
ton of six of the most effective and pow
erful flesh building elements known to
chemistry. 1t is absolutely sharmless, yet
wonderfully effective and a single tablet
eaten with each meal often has the effect
OF increasing the weight of a thin man or
woman from three to five pounds week.
Ssrgol is sold by Arnold Drug Co., and
other good druggists everywhere on q
positive guarantee Of weight increase or
money back-Adv.
