CONCRETE GROWS IN FAVOR
Use OF That Material in House Con.

With All Glasses of Builders.

Since the advent of the concrete
block industry, some rapid steps have
been made in house construction. The
special facings which it is possible to
apply to the concrete blocks make them
a solution of almost any problem in
house building where something special
is desired in finish. By the use of white
cement in connection with suitable
coloring material almost any shade or
tint may be obtained and a very close
imitation of highly expensive stone
may be built at a reasonable cost

Mars is in the ascendant. War is

But in order to be true. patriot

We did not want this war. We did
not even dream two and half years
ago that our own land should be
part OF the great calamity of Europe,
but it is here and the government
will need men and money-both
are essential. At last it is war.

Constipation and Indigestion.

These are twin evils. Persons suf-
fering from indigestion aree often
troubled with constipation. Mrs.
Robert Allison, Nation, ILL.,, writes
that when she first moved to Nation
she was a great sufferer from indi-
gestion and constipation. Food dis
tressed her and there was feeling
like heavy weight pressing on her
stomach and chest. She did not
rest well at night, and felt worn out
a good part of the time. One bottle
of Chamberlain's Tablets corrected
this trouble so that she has since felt
like a different person. For sale by

MEANS LOOKING INTO FUTURE
Expert Who Has Made Study OF
City Planning Outlines Objects
Sought to Be Obtained.

Although a wide interest in the sub
ject of city planning is manifest to.
day, both in Europe and America,
there appears to be uncertainty as to
what it precisely is. According to a
distinguished authority whom Mr..
Lewis quotes: "City planning simply
means getting ready for the future in
city growth. 1t is the guidance into
proper channels of q community's i'm
pulses toward a larger and broader
life. On the face of it, it has TO do
with things physical-the laying out OF
streets and parks and rapid-transit
lines. But its real signicafince is far
deeper; proper city plan has a pow.
erful influence for good upon the men
tai and moral development of the peo-
pie. 1t is the firm base for the build
ing of healthy and happy com
munity."
Mr.. Lewis studies in turn, the incep-
ton and development of this city plan

of intruSting its successful executive
to "duly authorized city officials or q
special commissioner created for the
purpose" the correction of mistakes,
and the general problems of transport

chapters are devoted to a comparison
of city planning legislation in England
Germany and the United States, the
municipal progress made under this
legislation, methods of financing city
plan, and various municipal land poll
cies. Having indicated in the body of
his book what city plan is, how
it is developed, the various problems
to be solved and the conditions which
it is necessary to provide for or guard
against" Mr.. Lewis points out in his
concluding chapters the opportunities
and responsibilities of the modern me.

Waning Tree Life.

Do not forget that old trees starve
to death just as surely as young trees,
though by reason of greater bulk and
a far-reaching root system they do not
so quickly show the need of food nor
so quickly succumh. Stable manure
dug or plowed in 20 or more feet
around the tree will do as much good
as anything. Conifers that are
trimmed up from the bottom and the
soil raked clean or sown to grass right
up to the trunk generally undergo a
slow but sure loss of vigor. Soil should
be occasionally enriched and dug up
deeply and the needles always left for
q mulch.

Common Sense Penal Treatment.

Dayton, o., used to treat its workhouse
prisoners as most other cities treat
let them stay there in idleness, eating
poor food at the expense of the city
until their terms had expired. Under
the commission the workhouse has
been made clean and all the prisoners
given work in the open air. The WON.
an prisoners have been set to work
making towels and bed clothing. Male
prisoners are taken outdoors and used
for city work as day laborers. The re-
suit is that the city gets the benefit of
the prisoners work and the prisoner
gets the moral and physical advantage
of outdoor exercise.-Exchange.
