HALF FAITH And YIO-
LEECE.
Copyright, 1915. by DR.. Frank Crane)

All noise is waste.
If YOU could bottle up the roar of
the locomotive and retain the rattle of
the trolley car you would have that
much more power.
The woman screams loudest in an
argument who is least certain she is
right.
We raise our voice in contention in
proportion as we are uncertain.
The man who wants to fight. or to
bet. is not quite sure of himself.
The religious fanatic is afraid of his
suppressed doubts. If he believed alb
solutely he would not want to perse-
cute.
The boy. coming home on a dark
night, whistles, not because he isn't
afraid, but because he is.
Violence always implies lack Of
trust in ones cause.
All our buster, brag and blow are
explosions of our hidden cowardice.
The man who knows he is right is
quiet. He abides the decision of des-
tiny. He trusts in the inevita bleness
of the higher laws.
The effective school teacher. who per-
fectly controls the pupils, is low
voiced.
1t is the weak mother that scolds,
slaps and TRADES.
1t is faith we lack: faith in the great,
truth.
Millions of men have fought for the
truth, for their rights. They are in
forgotten graves. One man refused to
fight, gave himself up and was cruel
fed He transformed the world.
1t is the half-believer who wants to
defend the truth. The whole believer
smiles when the truth is assailed,
knowing that it is almighty and needs
no defense. but win defend those who
believe in it.
Be still! If you are not sure of
yourself. act - It you were.

own his own home He says property in
wolves responsibility and taxes and it
yearly depreciates in value. Money has
to be spent periodically for repairs or in
paint or wall paper. He Is putting his
money in some form of investment. which
retains its permanent value, and yields a
higher rate of interest than any saving
he could effect in not paying rent. In
other words, it is cheaper to rent than
own house. and while he feels sore al
money to the landlord he does not envy
him his property.
To the ordinary man, who cannot lay
claim to sufficient capital to bring in much
revenue, such an argument does not ap-
peal very strongly. Year in and year out

who is of a calculating mind. He looks
up the real estate pages Of his favorite
newspaper and he investigates the price
Of lots and property generally. If he has
not been able to accumulate much of
reserve, and he is not likely to have done
SO if he pays as much rent as most of
his friends in the same line of work, he
goes about it to get that start for a home.
Perhaps, it is only $50 or 800 he is able
to make as first payment on lot, but
whatever the sum he has begun on a
most important part of his career.
The buying or the building of home
is not an easy task. 1t calls at the start
for considerable more trouble and worry
than does renting. 1t calls for self-sacri-
flee and responsibility The new home
owner finds to his surprise and Outlines

like to put on his back has to be spent

1t is an axiom that to get ahead in the
world one must contract debt in the az
quirement of some kind Of property and
payments have to be met regularly There
is no better opportunity to do SO than to
get hold of some real estate and put a
house on it. In this way man may
gradually effect a saving which is not at

And almost invariably the man who is
buying his home is living in better house
than if he were paying rent.
Home Is His Castle.
Aside from the ultimate monetary ad-
vantage which a man enjoys when he
owns his own home, sthe big factor is the
pride of ownership which he achieves
The man with the realization of a roof

SHOULD NOT CROWD
WHEN FURNISHING HOME
Much of Attractiveness Is Lost if
Roome Present Cluttered
Appearance.

When furnishing new home there
is often a tendency to purchase too
much furniture at first. to have every
thing complete when one settles, but
in doing that 1t is found later that this
leads to crowding, for as the weeks
and months pass other pieces are found
to be needed and some of the original
purchases could have been omitted.
Crowding is one of the greatest bar
riers to an artistic home. says writer
in the Columbus Dispatch.
However beautiful the furniture may
be. much of the attractiveness is lost
necessary piece after another is added
after the house is supposed to be fur
nished it is not long before there
is cluttered look which detracts
greatly from the artistic appearance
desired.
The first requisite for attractive fur
nishing is a coy, homelike look with
out which no house will have COM
Portable, inviting appearance:
Arrangement of the furniture has
much to do with producing this COM
fort, and attractiveness. Primness is

trated by the parlors Of former days
Days of Primness Gone.
One recalls the old-fashioned high
organ or low melodeon placed straight
against the wall; the chairs each side
of it just straight and prim. and
only far enough away from the wall to
prevent marring the plastering. The
marble top center table placed square
ly in the middle of the room under the
hanging lamp.
From the walls there looked down
on all this primness and formality of
arrangement the family portraits, sur
rounded by heavy gilt frames, and a
wreath of wax works or Worsteds over
Which was draped fancy silk scarf.
This room, which was carefully swept
and busted, was always ready for COM
pany and 1t was seldom used except
on such special occasions. With all this
stiff, solemn grandeur there was no
room for coZiness or comfort.
How to Get Effect
A chair placed invitingly near the
table and others drawn away from the
wall with something of the get-to-
gether air. as II occupants had just
left them after a pleasant CONVERSE
ton, will do much toward producing
the desired coziness.
What if a book is found open on
the table, with a handkerchief beside
it lust as the reader left it? Surely
it would radiate an air of comfort and
enjoyment that would be a pleasure to
one coming into the room
Every article that is placed In room
should be carefully considered that
one may be sure that it harmonizes
we'll with everything else In the room.
If one is not a good judge of artis-
tic furnishings there are experts who
may be employed, but care should be
taken that the mistress of the home
has sufficient voice in the subject that
there may be something other own in
