WELCOME YOUR NEW CONFER
Best Possible Method to Insure Ones
Community Being Noted for Its
HospitabIe People.

Do you want your community to be
noted for its hospitality? Then the
best way to get such a name, is to well
come each newcomer as an old friend,
met after a long separation.
or course you can't slap the new
conner on the shoulder, saying, Hello
Jim, old boy, Pm glad to see you back"
No, let us greet them in a different
way.
Instead, let several families in the
immediate neighborhood find out at
which time the newcomer will arrive.
Then let each family decide on some
one or two dishes to contribute to the
strangers first meal. When the hour
agreed on arrives, let each neighbor
send or carry her dish to the new
corners, as a token of greetings and
welcome into the neighborhood.
In this way the strangers will feel
much more at home than if all the
neighbors had dressed in their best,
and stifiy called in the usual way.

GARDEN HABIT ALWAYS GOOD
Writer in New York Publication Comes
to the Front With Words of
Great Wisdom.

The garden habit, once acquired. will
leave you. Good soil and cult
walton are the chief essentials. The
back yard is highly taxed property.
Why not make it pay for itself in
pleasure and profit to you, especially
In these war times, when we need to
conserve and utilize everything? We
are constantly calling for more parks,
more breathing spaces, in one longest
ed city. Why not use those we have?
This has been done with success in
Chicago and Baltimore. Let us do it
here.
Encourage your children to make a
little garden in your back yard. 1t will
prove safer than the streets and more
healthful than the movies. We need
more beauty, and here both use and
beauty may be combined. for in one
back yard in this city enough lettuce,
radishes and parsley were grown to
furnish the table for a whole summer,
and so combined with the plants and
flowers as to be harmonious in color.
Shrubs, trees and grass spray out
moisture into the air, which diminishes
dryness and dust and renders the place
where they are more healthful. We
have neglected our back yards too
long. Shall we improve them now?-

Advice About Brick Houses.

From a constructive standpoint the
nOntireproof brick house is very SIM
liar TO the frame except that the out"
side walls are of masonry and that the
floor framing in each story should be
carried on steel beams and columns so
that the inside supports may be as free
from shrinkage as the walls. In the
fireproOf house floors and roof are OF
tile or concrete and steel. 1t is never
desirable to plaster directly on the in
side of a brick wall. Lath and plas-
ter should always be placed on fur
ring strips so as to give an air space
between plaster and brick. All brick
work next the ground, in chimneys
above roofs, parapet walls, dormers,
ETC., should be laid in cement mortar.

him from the cold weather, or from
being sunburnt in the hot sun.
So a warm house is needed in the
winter, especially fer the brood sows,
and shade must be provided for sum-
mer.
Moreover, 1t Is recognized that the
best way to keep swine healthy and
guard against the ravages Of disease
is to provide sanitary conditions-a
hog house that Is well lighted and e
tilated and with a smooth, impervious
floor that can be easily cleaned.
These considerations, plus that Of
the labor that Is saved in feeding and
caring for hogs in a well-planned build
ing, have made country builders pay a
good deal of attention to this class OF
work, and farmers are more and more
putting up big modern hog houses

Chemical Generator for Hot Water.

1t has been shown that a certain
combination of salts brings about the
generation of heat. BY applying this
chemical phenomenon a cheap and eff
ficient warming bottle may be formed,
writes S. Leonard Basin in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
First Of all, mix together sodium
acetate and sodium ~hyposulphate in
water, using n part of the former to
nine parts of the latter salt. There
should be a sufficient quantity of these
materials to I'll the e~arthenware bottle
three parts full. The vessel should now
be loosely stoppered and placed either
In hot water or in an oven until the
salts have completely dissolved.
For many hours after this the bottle
will radiate considerable heat. To re-
new the wa~rmth-giving properties 1t is
only necessary to give the bottle a
good shaking.

for 1t was practically impossible to
trail his friends, his prey or his enc
mics through the trees, because they
left no such scent on the limbs as
they did upon the ground. Hearing
and seeing became more important
and were s%harpened to take the place
OF the dying olfactory talents. Doctor
Jones says that despite the poor con-
dition Of u noses as ~gatherers of in

The permanent house has its EVIL

Old Custom Kent up.

Ringing for Gofer" is a unique Gus
tom confined to Newark parish church,
England. 1t has lasted 300 years. 1t
is said that a wealthy merchant named
Gofer lost himself in the woods which
then surrounded Newark, and, as he
carried much money and the forest
was infested with thieves, he was in
danger of his life. Suddenly he heard
the bells Of Newark, and was guided
home by their music. To commemo-
rate his escape, he left q goodly sum to
the church on condition that the bell
ringers ring for "Gofer" every year on

If you want to make money on hogs,
you must give them a proper place to
live in. The best profits are made
only when a dry, sanitary, comfortable
and convenient hog house is provided.
1t is a mistake to think a hog does
not need to be protected from the
weather. Having been originally a ma
tive of warmer climates, nature has
not provided a pig with much in the
way of protective covering. He has
no thick coat of hair or wool Or feath-
ers like other farm animals to protect
