MAKING THE CHILDREN HELP
Small Citizens Being Interested in De-
veIopins and Beautifying City in
Which They Live.

Among the many cities that are
taking thought for the future in their
planning, one seems more forward
looking than the rest. That city is
Newark, N. ]. Not only are plans
being drawn for the development of
the city, but school children are be-
ing taught about the plans, are being
acquainted with the general trend of
thought in city planning, and are be-
ing shown pictures of the objects of
beauty, bridges, monuments, arches,
water fronts, and boulevards, of the
notable cities of the world.
Such has been the success Of the
work in Newark, judging by the in
terest aroused among the school chill
dren, that the committee on public in
formation of the American Institute of
Architects has decided to try to make
cities all over the country take up
a movement to appeal to children in
schools.
No city plan is safe from being
neglected and forgotten If the COM
ing generation is not trained in
sense of beauty and fitness that will
recognize the needfulness of proper
development. One of the causes of
the neglect of cities at this time and
of the ugly and hideous things that
have been permitted to be built in
them is the lack of early education
in a sense of the beautiful.
There is a direct economic benefit
to be derived from making a city
beautiful Any city that has devel-
oped along the ri hit lines will ex-
emplify this statement. Generally the
physical appearance Of city is a
sure index to the character and ideals
Of it's citizens. The whole city plan
ming movement speaks well for a
spread in common sense, in the abil-
ity to think, and in sense of en-
during values, among the citizens Of
American cities.
Washington has as much need to
teach its school children the essential
things about a "city beautiful" as any
other city has. Time and time again
the city planning of Washington has
been threatened with being warped
and violated by persons who decline
to look into the future.

THE BUILDING
OF A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies OF
Western Canada, connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle, horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
of looking upon their work, and its
results with pardonable pride. II they
"Reminiscences, and tell of the hardships
and the privations, why shouldn't
they? The broad prairies On which
the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities, towns and villages.
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo OF
laborious work off the farm, and max.
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous of occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp of manhood. Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tiful farms in the east. On the whole
the western prairies breed high type
of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were
it not for the upbuilding influence and
character of prairie life.
When the builder of the western Ca
madam prairie looks upon the result of
his work, why shouldn't his chest ex-
pand? 1t was probably some Of this
feeling Of pride that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann, vice president of
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg, when he said:
II am not in the habit of giving adj
vice, but have no hesitation of advis-
ing the young men of Canada. every
young man, to get out and get piece

Eat that time all the -four, meat and

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on--castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive. but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonfr'
given today saves sick child tomoI
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup Of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
OF all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDNEY-BAcKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
If Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild. harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function Of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, SO we can readily understand
the vital Importance OF keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine SO it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking.
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv

BILIOUS, HEADACHY,
SICK 'CASCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi.
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the i'll
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

FIGHT MODERATE DRINKING.

From an economic viewpoint the
drunkard is nonexistent What "big
business is fighting today is mod
crate drinking ounce-and-a
a-day kind of thing. With the excep-
ton of those connected with the trade
in alcoholic drinks-and their hangers
on-the entire world of business and
industry is lined up against alcohol,
and the battle (since drunkenness is
self-confessed defeat) is being waged
against moderate drinking. 1t is with
the man who can drink and be sober,
thank heaven!" that industry is pick.
ing a quarrel. The psychologist has
shown that he is morally defective
poisoned atop; the medico-actuarial
man has shown that he is physically
depleted, warped, defective and throws
away from ten to thirteen years of
his imperfect life; and "big business"
has learned that economically he is
so bad an investment that only in
rare cases is it worth while to bother
with tinkering and repairing him.

DECREASE IN CRIME.

Five months under prohibition law
have now elapsed and the results are
beginning to be very apparent says
the deputy sheriff of Jefferson coun-
ty, Alabama. "The decrease in crime
in Jefferson county is clearly indicat-
ed by the Jail records, which show a
total number of state prisoners now
in Jail of 100, against 1886 December
1, 1914, one year ago today, and this
in the face of the fact that no straw
bonds are being taken, and that ev-
cry care is taken to ascertain the abb
solute sufficiency of every bond ap-
proved"
The state pays thirty cents a day
for feeding each prisoner in the JEFF
ferson county Jail, therefore this de-
crease of 176 inmates means a saving
of $3.50 per day, Of 1854 per month,
and of $19,00S per year.

WORTH KEEPING IN MIND
Some "Don'ts" for the Consideration
of Those Who Are Planning
Building of House.

If you are planning to build house,
whether it be for your own occupancy
or for rental or sale, remember there
are many things which should be omit
ted in the planning. Some of these
are enumerated in the following
don'ts:"
Don't, in the plumbing of the bath
room closet, permit the use of other
than a gas-proof metal to metal con-
nections with the soil pipe.
Don't, in planning your home
grounds, forget that there is one
form only of imitation that is safe
the imitation of nature.
Don't, if you are building in the
country, think that you cannot have
an electric equipment. Private electric
light and power plants are quite with
in reach Of even the moderate-sized
purse, and furnish abundant light and
current for the modern household ap-
planes.
Don't forget that wall board is a
very good substitute for lath and plas-
ter, and that fractures which often &C.
cur in walls Of plaster are not posi-
BILE where this material is used.
Don't forget that you can make the
back entrance to the new house quite
as attractive as the front entrance.
Don't, when planning the fireplace,
fail to remember that good taste is
expressed in a simple mantel de-
signed according to the architecture
of the house.
Don't forget that mirrors, in addi-
tion to fulfilling their unitarian pur-
poses of rejecting objects, help archi-
lecture.
Don't fail to allow for plenty of
windows in the kitchen. This makes
for cheer as well as for ventilation.
Don't waste space inside the ward
robe closets; utilize every inch. Poles
for hangers may be placed very high
for one-piece frocks, lower ones for
coats and skirts, and underneath these
drawers or shelves to take care of the
boots, slippers and hats.
| Don't, in planning for the windows
in the sleeping room, ignore the
| possibilities of easement window
placed very high above the head OF
! the bed.
This solves quite satisfactorily the
! problem of an additional window, and
in appearance is most pleasing.
Don't plan for single doors between
the living rooms and the hall. Wide
openings give an air of spaciousnesf
and hospitable effect not possible tt
obtain with single door.
Don't forget that beamed ceiling
not only looks more durable than {
ceiling of plaster, but that it is so
The more exposed timbers there arr
in the interior the longer will be the
life of the house. Plaster retards the
action of the air upon wood, and this
causes decay.

WAR TEACHES LESSON.

The signal service the present
European conflict has rendered
against alcohol will be named in fu-
ture years as major compensation
for its awful carnage. The war has
not taught us that alcohol is a curse,
and that traffic in it is treason.
This knowledge the world already pos
sessed, although it had only begun to
take action. The war has taught US
how to deal with alcohol, how to solve
the alcohol problem, how to arrive at
the final prohibition that is our goal

DECLARE FOR PROHIBITION.

South Dakota can count on the as
sistance of the educators of the state
in the campaign for statewide prohi-
bition in which it is engaged. The
annual convention of the South Da-
kota Educational association, meeting
in Aberdeen, attended by 1000 public
school teachers and college profess
sors, declared unanimously for state
wide prohibition, characterizing the
liquor traffic as "a great detriment to
social progress, which is SC closely
allied to educational effort"
