SLOAN'S EMINENT EASES PAIN

Sloan's Liniment is first thought
of mothers for bumps, bruises and
sprains that are continually happen
ing to children. 1t quickly penetrates
and soothes without rubbing. Cleaner
and more effective than mussy plas-
tiers or ointments. For rheumatic
aches, neuralgia pain and that grippy
soreness after colds. Sloan's Liniment
gives prompt relief. Have a bottle
handy for bruises. strains, sprains
and all external pain. For the thou
sands whose work call them outdoors,
the pains and aches following expos
ure are relieved by Sloan's Liniment.

Many of the rudbeCkiaS are hardy
and perennial, but they may be treated
as ANIMALS. The flowers are quite
SNOWY and usually have yellow rays,
though some are crimson and others
more or less covered with brown to-
ward the base. The rudbeckias are OF
very easy cultivation. thriving in a.
most any soil and climate. Most Of
them prefer moist soil, but will thrive
in the garden under ordinary cultiva-
ton. Rudbeckia hirta-the black eyed
Susans, or "nigger-heads, as they are
sometimes called-will thrive in the
hottest and dryest situations. Rud-
bekia trilOba, a biennial. perpetuates
itself through Self-SOwn plants. The

The next item Is the money on hand

A rough balance may here be estah-
lished. There is certain amount
which may be spent in the construc-
ton of the house so that the expenses
before the house is built will be equal
to those after the house is built. Ordi-
narily, when this condition exists the
total cost of construction must he
paid from sum in the hands of the
owner at the time of building. In
case ii is necessary to borrow por-
ton of the money, the expenses over
the five-year period will include the
amount borrowed. plus interest I'D to
the time of payment. OF course, if

Most people obtain such pleasure "ut
of owning their own home that they
ar" willing Ia make some sacrifice To
obtain il. However. if this sacrifice
takes the proportions of burden

shadow the pleasure which should be
obtained from the home.
This does not mean that man is
wrong in going into debt To obtain a
home. II means that he think well
and figure carefully before taking aC-
ton. If he can easily clear up all in
dcbtcdn"SS in three or perhaps five
years. he is justified in going into the
matter of home with his architect
and builder.
His first step in the analysis of the
problem should be carefully to figure
his probable resources over the period
which he is willing To give to pay
ing for his home. The man who has
formed the habit Of recording his
current expenses accurately is very
much better able 10 handle the prob

parts of America, but under garden
culture II gives satisfactory results
when treated as an annual. The seed
may be sOwn in the early spring under

The fOur-O'cloCk is often used as a
screen with good results. The cOlored
part of the flower, which is white,
various shades of red, and striped, is
the calyX, drawn out in the semblance
Of corOlla and surrounded at the
base by a leafy involucre. In some

work fits well into the design and the
Stucco carries along the general idea
to the smallest detail. Stone is used
in building the porch walls and the
chimney. The porch columns are built
of wood with stuccO finish. TIE floor
of the porch and the steps are made
of concrete. The large roof surface
is relieved with small dormerS. Raft
erS at gable ends are supported with
wooden brackets.
In the room arrangement, notice the
large living room. This room occupies
the entire forward half of the first
floor. An open stair is built along
one end of the room with a landing
at the bottom which is two steps
above the level Of the living room
floor. At the other end of the room
is large fireplace with bookcase on
each side. The small closet directly
opposite the front door will be handy
for wraps.
The dining room layout includes n
three-windOw bay, which makes this
room wcll-lightcd and pleasant. A
buffet is built under the window in
the rear wall. Notice the handy ar
ranGement of the kitchen. The two
cupboards will be found very conven-
lent. The second floor contains two

The Origin of "FiIibuster.>.

What is the origin Of the word "fili.
buster?' CharlevOix and others de-
rive it from the occupation of a cruis
er In "filibOte," or "vly-bote," first
used on the River Wy, in Holland. An
other authority tells us that it was
given to the followers of Dominique
de COurgueS, who sailed from Finis-
terre, or Finibuster, in France. on the
famous expedition against Fort Caro-
line in 1867. 1t was long current In
Spanish as "fillbustero" before its
adaptation into English, - London
