The stills of the house are placed on
top Of this wall in the usual way. but
the floor joists are boosted up about
three feet to get sufficient headroor,
TO set a furnace. This manner Of con-
struction leaves room for good-sized
cellar window between the stills and
the ribbon which supports the floor
1oists.
This is the general bungalow con,
struction in the North, where good
cellars are an object. In this par
ticular house the front cellar wall IL

Ex.remlsts Vino Become crank..

Writing Of the fad that some eye
specialists have of attributing almost
all physical and mental troubles to
the eyes, DR.. s. Johnson Taylor OF
Norwich. England, says in the Lancet
that the principal trouble with these
men is that they are extremists and
have become cranks on their own spe-
cialty.

house that win help to make this lit
tie back porch attractive.
One good feature of modern homes
is the care taken OF the back lot.
Often II Is as carefully kept as the
'front.', and more attractive, because
it is larger and there are more ad-
pantages In the way of planting
shrubs and flowers. A great many
thrifty house owners employ part Of
the ground In the growing of small
fruits and vegetables. The sentiment
In cities is favoring the economical
use of back yards, and the idea is a
good one, both in regard to economy
and looks.
The value of house property is gov
erned good deal by the manner in
which the outside of the house is kept
and painted and the lot planted and
cultivated.

SWEDEN.

DR. Sven Hedin, who became famous
throughout the world on account OF
his explorations in central Asia, has
been expelled from the imperial geo.
graphical society of Russia, from the.
English geographical society, and from
the Savage club" of England Tie
reason for this wholesale expulsion
from high-toued societies of which he
was once an honorary member, is to
found in the fact that he has defended
the policy of Germany in the present.
war with a vefiernence and enthusiasm
that can hardly be eclipsed even in
Germany. The climax was reached
when he made a personal visit to the
battlefelds in France, Belgium and Po-
land and wrote a red-hoti book: about,
his observations. What. made this book
particularly CALLING to the English was
the fact that even an English edition
of it was issued
The British censoring of Swedish tell.
egrams is getting well;nigh intolerable.
The Swedish business men complain
that one telegram after another to-
American Is not answered, and the,
kilograms are supposed to land in the
spacious waste baskets Of the British
censors. During the first months of
the war tine kilograms generally
reached America the same day. Now
it sometimes takes as much as, four
or five days, or the kilograms may
disappear entirely. It is a. singular
fact that the big business concerns
suffer the most. In fact 1t is getting
to be almost impossible to do regu,
lar business with American firms ON
account of the arbitrary Interference
with the kilograms in England. As
Sweden serves as medium between
England and Russia 1t Is, even sug>

The national board Of health has

fiscal year ending June 30. 1914,
Uncle Sam expended ST. OPS, sos, $50
in the support of the various de-
partments of the government.
That represents an annual tax of
$40 on every man, woman and
child in the land. The average
American family numbers five
persons, so the average family
contributes at least $50 per year
to the maintenance of federal
power.
And the total is increasing from
year to year at a rate which is al
together out of proportion to the
increase in population.
Twenty-four years ago Gear"
Reed and a Republican congress
were swept from power because of
the extravagant expenditures they
had authorized. That was in 1890
and Uncle Sans expenses that
year amounted to only $532, ,70S, TAI.
just eight years before that, in
1856, with Grover Cleveland in
the White House and a Demo-
cratic congress in the capitol, the
country worried along on appro-
priations which totaled 1881 ,015,-
404. OF this sum more than
100000 represents payments
on account of the national debt.
Thus in twenty eight years the
annual cost of running Uncle
Sans big machine has increased
about $1OO, 100000, or more than
200 per cent. incidentally we
have abandoned all attempts to
pay off our national debt. We are
too busy spending money to think
of schemes for saving it.
What has caused this increase
in expenditure and where will it
end?
1t would require prophet to
answer the latter part of that query
and | am not in that business
The first part is easier.
Gear" Reed and his followers
were probably guilty of extrava-
gances, but the real era of waste
full expenditure in this country
was ushered in by the Spanish
American war. Then it was that
"A wave of imperialistic hysteria
swept over this country.
The United States must become
"A "world-power," we were told by
22-caliber statesmen and despite
the protests of such leaders as
Bryan in the Democratic party
and Hoar in the Republican party,
a majority of the voters fell for"
the new doctrine.
Now, imperialism is the most
costly game ever played by nations
and it costs republics ten times as
much as it does monarchies. A
country can't be truly imperial un.
less it has colonies, and big
army and smashing big navy.
So we acquired the Philippines
and string of other islands, and
proceeded to spend money like the
proverbial drunken sailor" When
some fellow objected he was
silenced by the solemn declaration

to be a clean, beautiful city.

to be clean, beautlful city,
AS nearly as | can get at it, the
so-called "half-and-h half" plan was
foisted on the National govern
ment back in the 7Os by a combi-
nation of corrupt politicians and
smooth real estate speculators
and public utility magnates. 1t
has been sustained by the same in
huences. Rumor has it that
number of gentlemen of national
prominence have made great for
tunes out of Washington real es-
tate and public-service corpora
tions, Be that as it may, they
manifest a most amazing interest
in the "half-and half" plan. They
have even gone 80 far as to threat
en- to block legislation if that
sacred arrangement WAS disturbed.
