Chance the Farmers Missed.

\ great opportunity for amassing
wealth has slipped out of the hands Of
every farmer and gardener this year,
simply because they did not know
how to grasp the opportunity, and
theR was nobody to tell them about it,.
The disappointment is temporary; the
opportunity win return, says the BoS-
ton Transcript.
Golden seal root, for instance, is
wanted by druggists, and is worth So
a pound, and it might have been grown
in quantities in the United States.
The farmer who had seen the posi-
bilities in its culture could have reaped
a rich harvest. And many American
families viii remember the time when

There is baby in an East End fam

who owns a dog. The baby cries and
the dog barks and howls, says the.In-

The family with the baby went on a

absence the landlady decided she pre-
ferred a different tenant-one with
out a crying baby. So she notified the
family TO move out.
When the father asked for an ex-

dog that banks and bowls all day long?
\ crying baby is no more nuisance
than a barking, bowling dog"
He informed the landlady that he
would move out with the baby when
she got rid of the dog. but not before.

TO PLAcARD DIRTY PREMISES
California City Adopts Unique Plan to
Raise Standard Of Cleanliness In
Residences and Business Houses.

The city of Alameda, CAL, has adopt.
ed a unique plan to raise the standard
Of cleanliness in residences and bust
ness houses. In future the sanitary
condition Of the various premises 10 to
be shown BY placards bearing the in
scriptions "Clean," "Dirty" or "Filthy."
Those places which do not satisfy the
board of health will be %placarded as
dirty or filthy until they comply with
the demands Of the authorities.
This action was decided upon by the
board. Of health, which appointed a
committee to post the placards and to
care for the general health Of the city.
The board Of health intends to inspect
not only the business houses but also
the private residences of the city and
10 affix the placards to every house in
the city. Those residences which can
be designated as "clean" will not be
placarded, but those in which sanitary
conditions are disregarded will be des-
lgnated as dirty" or filthy" until the
house owners remedy the conditions,
upon which the placards will be re-
moved.
As the board Of health has arbitrary
powers under the city charter, the pla-
cards must remain on the houses or
| places of business until the board Is
satisfied that the conditions therein
are sanitary. II any householder tears
down the placards, the extreme PEN
atty Of the law can be enforced.

Hometown
WIDE PIAzzA ADDS TO HOME
Part That 10 Rooted May Easily Be
Converted Into Sun ParIor During
the Winter Months.

A good wide. piazza or porch ADDS
greatly to the comfort and beauty OF
most any home. In order to serve the
best purpose 1t should be wide and
built around several sides Of the house.
This will insure a cool, shady spot to
hang the hammock on a hot summer
day for rest and reading. A piazza
should be at least seven feet wide and
may be as deep as u feet. 1t is not
necessary to have all the piazza COW
cred with a roof. 1t is a good idea
to have the part which is to be rooted
over so constructed that by the erec-
ton of glass sides a sun porch can be
provided for winter use. In the win
ter a piazza which is entirely rooted
tends to shut off light from the first
floor. For this reason the piazza roof
should be high. extending to the bot.
tom Of the second floor windows.
In the summer the piazza may be
covered with an awning, or a vine
trellis, which on nights when there Is
little air stirring does away with the
feeling Of c~loseness otherwise occa-
stoned. It is a good time to be fore
sighted when ordering the piazza to
tell the architect that 1t should be
made so as to be screened for the
warm season. A fine piazza is some
times a discomfort from the presence
Of flies or a swarm Of mosquitoes or
moths.
For a bungalow or summer cottage.
near the salt water screens made OF
copper wire are best as they corrode
less from contact with the sea breezes.
Ordinary black screens should be
painted two months before they are
intended to be put in use so that the
paint may have time to harden. When
windows are. put up in the winter
the window sashes should DO
painted with black paint over the red
wash which is put on in the fac
tory and has little preservative quail
ity in 1t.

TO ALASKA.


The suggestion has been made, now that we
have entered the great war on the side OF the
allies, that Canada let us build a railroad through
Canada to Alaska.
The plan is a good one. 1t would not be to the
interest of Canada at this time, nor in the present
or next generation probably, to construct a north
and south railroad along the Pacific coast. Capa-
dian railroad building is, enc might say monoton-
ously east and west.
But Alaska is one of the most cherished pos
sessions of Uncle Sam, and at present is only ac-
cessible by boat; and if we did not control the
Pacific, Alaska would not be accessible at all.
Canada and the United States are most GER
tainly friendly enough to permit us to construct
! an Alaskan railroad through Canadian territory
which at the same time in many ways would be
.or the benefit of Canadians along the Pacific
coast. 1t would be a splendid way for Canada to
give proof of her friendship; and if the proposal
ever gets to the do it" stage, we have no doubt
Canada will be perfectly willing.
