"Fty Compla,nt,"

Summer complaint" Is what they used to call the intestinal infections that carry off so many thousands of babies each summer; but now doctors often call it "fly complaint for they are frequently caused by common house flies, which carry the disease germs to baby's mouth.
 The Panama Canal zone was once so unwholesome a place that white men could not live there for any length of time. The government ex- terminated flies and mosquitoes and new the zone is as free of disease as any place.
 Screen your house early Keep ont all the flies you can, swat every fly that sneaks in, and destroy all reruse heaps that might be breeding places for flies.
 One doctors bill saved will pay for screening a house, and may save life, too.-Kansas City Star.

GARDEN EVER WORTH WHILE
Plot of Land Need Not Cost a Great Deal of Money, But Deserves
 Careful Thought.

Now that the value Of architectural garden features is becoming more universally recognized, it beheeves the homebuilder to give the matter due consideration. Few houses are too modest or have grounds too small to permit some such interesting touch. It may be a simple arbor seat, trel- lis or even garden gate. but whatev- CT the architectural features are. the faneiful or gretesque should be avoid ed and only artistic simple lines be employed.
 The question of the material em- ployed in these features is of the ut- most importance. A close relationship should be maintained between the ma terials here and those employed in the adjacent buildings.
 While it is not necessary in all cases that a stated material be used, the style and details of the house should always suggest the nature of the garden features; as, for instance, a brick country house of colonial style with exterior trim of which would naturally call to mind visions of white trellis work, white wood pergola or a white arbor along simple colonial lines.

Better Cities, Not Biuoer.

It Is not a very important fact that Providence is a city of more than 250.. 900 inhabitants. It has passed the quarter-million mark within a few months, and there is a sentimental sat isfaction in knowing it. but it is of more importance that we are develop ing our harbor resources under com bined federal, state and city scheme; that a city plan commission is con. stantly studying ways and means to make the city more beautiful; that the habit of public generosity is growing among us; that larger and more ire. quent sums are being given to good causes, and that the sense of com. munity and cooperation is on the gain. We are glad that Providence is steadily increasing in population, but we ought to be yet more glad that it is also growing better.-Proyidence Journal

Her Reward,

Miss McAdoo, Secretary McAdoo's beautiful daughter, who has returned worn out from her Red Cross nursing in the French war zone. said to a Washington interviewer:
 Red Cross nursing is hard work. It is dreadful work. hut the French ex- pect their women and girls to do it as a matter of duty. The French don't slobber over a pretty Red Cross nurse slaving sixteen hours day any more than they slobber over handsome young soldier who has lost an arm.
 ''The spirit of war nursing has no likeness to the case of the lady who was asked:
 "'Oh, l hear you have gone in for college settlement work. How are you getting on?
 Fine the lady answered. Fine, had my picture last month in four newspapers and two magazines.

GET THE LOT CLEANED UP
Sound Common Sense in Having Va cant Property Present an At-
 tractiye Appearance.

Have you Ii lot or a block of lots you wish to put on the market the coming season? Are they rough? Are they weedy or brushy? Have they been made more or less of dumping ground for the past years? If so, you will have two chances to one of sell ing them if you take the trouble to put them into sale shape, says the Minneapolis Journal.
 A wise man selling a horse would see to it that the animal was in good flesh and good coat before putting him in the sale stable. Any grocer knows that he can sell more goods if his wares are attractive te the eyes of the prospective customer. No mer- chant will risk his sales to the imag- nation of the customer.
 The average buyer of city lot is not gifted with a rosy. constructive imagination. He cannot make men, tai painting of beautiful home grounds out of a rough and ragged vacant lot. Tn selling anything, from q pair of trousers to a city lot. the salesman should have the help of good looks in his goods in order to make quick or profitable sale.
 It costs little to put the average open, vacant city lot into sale form. IT but the front third Of the lot were smoothed. grassed. clipped regularly and one door-yard tree properly plant ed and kept the lot would have two chances of a sale where it otherwise would have but one.
 You may add this little expense to the sale price. if you like. and it will not hinder the sale. If you put your rough property into an agents hands you should not be disappointed if it is left lying at the seasons end. or if the agent Is obliged to shade the price to cover the ugliness of the lot.

These signs face toward the town, so that they are read as the visitor drives out across the borough line. Such signs will be placed along the borough line at every road or drive way.

BURNED WITH GASOLINE
WHILE CLEANING GLOVES

Miss Agnes Lucey met with a pain
full accident while cleaning a pair Of
kid gloves last Saturday afternoon at
her home in Eureka. She put the
gloves on and buttoned them up, and
taking small amount of gasoline
and some cornstarch, went out on
the side porch to clean them, as she
had often done before. 1t is pre-
sumed there was an unusual amount
of electricity in the air, for as she
was rubbing the gloves they sud
denly ignited and we're soon all
afiame. Her presence Of mind in
keeping her hands extended is all
that prevented her being seriously
burned by having her thin summer
clothing also catch fire, BY her own
efforts and those of her sister. Miss
Annie, they succeeded in removing
the gloves, but not before the ief'
hand was quite severely burned and
the right hand blistered Eureka
