Prevention OF Rust.

Mr.. Meadows relates that one year
rust hit his wheat and that a tract
of 800 acres yielded only 1900 sacks
when IL should have produced 5000
sacks. A wet season prevailed, the
rust was in the grass. lived through
the winter on green vegetation, and
attacked the early planted fall wheat.
A tract of 80 acres planted later than
the rest was not affected. and gave a
yield of 80 bushels per acre. The at
tackled grain was seeded the last days
of July and first days of August, the
3O-acre tract a considerable period
later. The experience gained is that
if summer fallow is kept absolutely
clean of green vegetation, combined
with late planting. rust will be kept
out. The u. S. department of agri-
culture advises that all straw of grain
affected by ust be burned. Mr..
Meadows has never again been trOubl-
ed by rust.
Mr.. Meadows has in the past raised
barley on his farm and has obtained
excellent yields. He has, however,
discontinued the cultivation of barley

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Mr.. William a. Radford VIII answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer. he
Is. without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie

We all know that In most cases the
surest way to spell ''costly" when
buildings are referred to, is cheap.
The familiar example Of the house
which was hurriedly planned Tor more
correctly drawn, since planning, in the
literal n Of the word, does not re-
fer to a process which can be COM
pleted In a few hours) and then thrown
together in a h~aphazard manner, may
be seen In almost any community. The
owner of this house, when consulted
at the completion of the building op-
GRAFTON, talks freely of how cheap
his house was built. Go around to him
after two years, or even less, time has
elapsed and he will readily agree that
those five letters spell a word crowded
with meaning which he did not at first
associate with 1t.
The point is this: the average man
who has not had experience in plan
ming and building a house (and some
few who have) will overestimate the
amount Of room required and in order
to stay within the limit of the pro-
posed investment, the diversified house
will have materials placed in it and
methods used in its construction which
could hardly pass a high-quality stand
ard. The man who builds his first
house is quite often dazed by the

The man who Is building his first
home and has" the problem of COM
pletely furnishing 1t on his hands, may
not think so, but he has an advantage
over the man who has rented a home
and collected q more or less complete
assortment of furniture, curtains, etc.
To the average nan or woman the
word "home" has q meaning which
does not include a brand-new house
which every day yields new delights
previously overlooked. 1t has a far
more stable meaning than that. The
true meaning Of the word Is estab-
lished gradually as the years pass.
The point is this: The man who is
planning his first house is laying the
foundation of the home which will be
his most valued accomplishment, If he
builds well, through all the years of his
life. The true home starts with the
house and gradually assume its mean
ing, as, year after year, memories are
built up around 1t. This man who
starts with nothing but the desire to
build up a home and the ability to pro-
vide the e of doing 1t, has the adj
vantage then, because he need not
compromise-he can select each piece
of furniture because 1t fits into Its

Old Look?
(DY DR.. L. a. SMITH

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance Of gray hair or baldhead
in early years is, indeed, often q sign Of
uric acid. The face appears lean and
haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in
young men or women
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is Of the
simplest: Drink oopiously Of pure water
between meals. This will not make you
fat, as it is only the water taken with
the meals that ~fattens. Obtain at any
drug store q small package of AnWic,
which is to be taken before meals, in
order to expel the uric acid from the
system. The painful effects OF backacne,
lumbago, rheumatism, govt, due to uric
acid in the blood shcald quickly disappear
after treatment with Anuric.

before the house Is entered. The bun
galOw idea is evident in tie broad, low
lines of the roof and several unique
features have expressed themselves in
the exterior design. The heavy ex-
posed timbers arranged In pairs under
the roof given an air of distinction to
the house. The gable of the porch
roof materially sets off the front of the
house and the entire porch design is
very effective. The rail Is low and is
carried out to extend the porch be-
yond the columns In line with the side
Of the house. Two posts are set ut the
outside Of this extended por-
ton Of the porch. Flower baskets set
upon these posts would produce a very
artistic effect. The sides of the house
are finished with beveled siding and
the window trim Is q little out Of the
ordinary, in keeping with other fea-
lures Of exterior design.
A small vestibule Is entered from the
porch, and this leads into the hall
from which the various rooms Of the
first floor and the stairs to the second
floor are reached. The large living
room has a fireplace set into one cor
ner. Four windows are built into the
side wall Of the house In this room, and
one large window is placed at the
front. The living room Is always a
pleasure room In which the fireplace is
set into one corner, but it is seldom
that this is possible without interior
ing with the arrangement Of some 9TH
er part Of the house.
The dining room is In the rear Of the
living room. The buffet is built against
the rear wall with a wide window
above 1t. Four windows occupy the
side wall In this room, similar to the
arrangement In the living o A

for the kitchen stove. The pantry is
an ideal one, with a counter and cup
board. The refrigerator is placed In
the pantry and Is iced from the rear
porch. A little den and a toilet are
also placed on the first floor.
Two bedrooms, a bath and q stor-
age room occupy the second floor. A
long hall extends parallel to the STAIR
case, a feature which gives the neces.
sary privacy to the sleeping rooms.

Items of expense which do not enter
into the original estimate. 1t seems
unavoidable that the cost of a house
will be more than the estimate indi-
Gates. The man who has had expert
ence in building and finishing houses
usually figures a small percentage Of
the estimated investment as a reserve
to make up for items of this sort.
The advice of the experienced to the
inexperienced builder of homes would
probably be-: "Plan a house which is
just the size you think you need and
then build 1t one-third smaller" The
chances are that the increased quality
of material and workmanship which
may be used In the smaller house over
what could be obtained for the same

money In the larger house, will give
the owner more satisfaction than he
could obtain from the slightly larger
rooms and the bulky appearance.
Another thing which home builders
should think about Is the expense Of
finishing and furnishing the new
house. 1t Is largely through the effect
Of these items that the house Is trans
formed into the home, although II Is
necessary. of course, to incorporate the
fundamental homelike qualities into
the house itself. At any rate, a lib
eral allowance should be set aside for
the purchase of articles of furniture,
hangings and other decorative or utili-
tartan objects; the amount Of this al
lowance Is variable, depending some
what upon the characteristics of the
owner and somewhat upon the charac-
teristics of the house.

Riot In Baltimore.
Peace Meeting at Academy O
Music Broken Up.,

Last Sunday afternoon small riot
occurred in Baltimore city on the street
in front of the Academy of Music, one of
the leading play houses of the city.
Open Forum meetings have been held
at the Academy every Sunday afternoon
during the winter, at which important
topics of the day were discussed by vari-
Gus prominent speakers. The meeting
Sunday was sort of Pacifsts' affair and
some bitter things were said by speakers
and persons in the audience.
A crowd of opposite views gathered or
the outside and determined to "bust uF
the meeting" 1t is said many promi
nent men, students, etc., took part ir
the affair. many of whom were beat uE
severely by police in trying to disperse
the mob.
Monday thousands of Pacifists gather
ed in Washington to protest to Congress
against war. There were various dis
orders about the Capitol. The most SEN
sational happening occurred at the office
of Senator Lodge, of Mass, when grour
of Paciists called on him. Harsh words
were exchanged between the Senator anC
A. w. Bannwart. 1t is stated that the
latter called the Senator a coward and
was promptly knocked down by the Sen
ator and badly beaten up by friends who
were about the Office.

Postmasters For Life.
10000 Placed Under Civil Ser
vice by President.

More than 10000 first. second and
third class postmasters were placed un-
der civil service last Saturday by execu-
tive order of President Wilson.
Incumbents of Office are not affected,
but in the future when vacancies occur
as the result of death, resignation or re-
moval the Civil Service Commission Will
hold open competitive examinations. Ihe
name of the highest eligible candidate
will then be submitted to the President.
No person more than 65 years old hall
be examined.
Although the order is framed to re-
move postmasters from p 'litics, the Sen
ate, however, has the right to reject the
Presidents appointees.
Postmasters in Frederick county pro-
filing by this order are Messrs. }. A.
Williamson, first class postmaster, Fred
erick; Oscar Barrick, second class, at
Woodsboro; Jos. C. Gernand, Thurmont;
George M. Kefauver. Middletown; W.
G. Musgrove, Brunswick, and Mrs. Rose
Foreman, Emmitsburg; the last four
named being third class Offices.
Postmaster General Burleson made
statement about the order:
Incumbent postmasters rendering
good service and who continue to admin
ister the affairs of their Offices with abil-
ity will not be disturbed in such offices
by any recommendation made by the head
of the department. 1t is due them, how
ever, at this time to make it clear that
hereafter supervisory officials of the de-
partment will be more exacting in the
enforcement of those postal rules and
regulations which make for increased eff
ficiency, and postmasters will not only
be expected to devote their time during
office hours to proper administration
of their respective Offices, but they will
be required to thoroughly acquaint them
selves with the various postal activities
under their charge, and in the future to
occupy such part of their time not pro-
perly given to administrative work to
the performance of some part of those
activities.
John C. Rooms, Assistant Postmaster
General, declared the executive order Ito
be the most advanced step ever taken
toward increased efficiency and business
like administration, and that no doubt
the necessary legislation to place the
positions entirely within the classified
civil service will be enacted in the near
future

Court Commends Justice.
Hahn Case Heard Before Judge
WOrthingtOn.

W Va
Last week Morris Hahn, second son of
Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Hahn of this place
was brought before Justice of the Peace,
Rob't E. Cadow this place, the charge
preferred that of assaulting the young
son of Mr.. Samuel Vanhorn. Young
Vanhorn has very sore head caused by
a stone thrown by young Hahn. Justice
Cadow placed the boy in the care of the
Frederick County Branch of the Child
ren's Aid Society of Maryland, and the
boy was given over to Miss Mum, the
local representative.
The parents and friends of the boy
were not satisfied with the disposal of
the case, and took the case to court, IN
order to get the boy home.
The case was heard last Saturday after
noon before Judge Glenn H. Worthing
ton.
Many witnesses were summoned and
much testimony taken. The boy had
been before Judge Worthington once be-
fore and was paroled.
After hearing all testimony the Judge
decided that Thurmont was no place for
him, and ordered him to remain in care
of the Society. If he mends his ways he
will be left under the care of the Society,
if not he will be sent to some institution.
Judge Worthington commended Justice
Cadow on the manner in which he hand
led the case when before him, and also
OF the way he conducted other cases
coming before him.
