Cooperation In Planning.

! If one town succeeds In relocating
or depressing or elevatlng railroad,
the adjacent towns have to plan to
conform. II railroad station Is To-
Gated near the border Of town the
nearby streets and car lines In the
next town are altered to fit. A good
park on the edge OF one community
has strong influence on the park sit
uation of the adjacent community.
Bad housing "just over the line" brings
up serious planning problems. Differ.
ent planning laws and restrictions In
towns which border on one another
give rise to all sorts Of complications
and unfairness. OF two towns side by
side, where one Is conscientiously In
terested In the appearance Of its
streets and buildings and the other Is
not, the latter soon finds itself at a
considerable disadvantage. Everything
is to be gained by cooperation Ia plan
ming. Waste is bound to ensue with

parks for All the People.

The parks belong to all the people
and should be SO conducted that all will
feel that a genuine welcome and vari-
ETY. of entertainment, comfort and
pleasure await them In every park.
They should be made SO attractive to
the general populace that hundreds
will flock there to where now the indi-
vidual 'focks" In loneliness. Some
parks are planned and planted as
though they possessed an attitude, one
of extreme austerity, seeking to over
awe the visitor and curb his natural
exuberance. These cold and uninvit-
ing, inhospitable parks should have In
Productions Of bright flowers, tennis
courts, swings, teeter-boards, sand
boxes, seats, arbors, picnic grounds,
music, etc., and thereby become at.
tractive to their owners-ths public

Brtnstno Country to City.

Denmark has solved the problem of
gardens for city jewellers In particu-
lnrly eficisnt manner. according to the
Observation-Disclosures Review. An
article entitled bringing the Country
to the City" tells how 10000 garden
plots have been added TO the produc-
dive area II Denmark through the sti-
liration OF vacant lots and waste lands
In or near dties. The land is bought
or leased BY company, which does all
the preliminary work OF building roads
and fences, laying water pipes, Install
ing a sewerage system, and preparing
the soil for cultivation. II In divided
up Into small gardens, which are rent
ed at a price OF 81 to 81 for the sum-
mer. Many families raise enough veg
etablss FOR their own use and sell a
considerable amount besides. Others
prefer to build little erbOr and plant
a flower garden, which becomes their
refuge from the CRIME OF the city.

Brick Porch improves Old House.

Brick Porch improves Old House.
The transformation a broad porch
of nice-looking face brick will bring
about on an old-style frame house Is
wonderful. One sees In various places
along the streets houses on which such
changes have been made, and he is
forced to admit that great improve
ment has resulted. While the effect
is so striking, the cost of such an ad-
slition is not so great.
A combination of rough face brick
of reddish-brown coloring, white stone
cap and turned columns painted white
with the steps and porch floor of con-
crete, makes an attractive appearance.
A new brick porch would be valuable
addition to many wooden houses OF the
old type, which now boast of oid-style
narrow piazzas.

More use should be made Of walls
and fences In small gardens. 1t is not
always necessary that either orna-

become ornamental and do splendid

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so it lifts
off with fingers

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied di-
rectly on tender, aching corn or cal
lus, stops soreness at once and soon
the corn or hardened callus loosens
so it can be lifted out, root and all,
without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not
to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get small bottle
for you from his wholesale drug
house. 1t is fine stuff and acts like
charm every time.
