cream distributor said what II there are
: typhoid germs In the cream are any
foolish or yenal enough to believe that
the strong healthfu bodies Of Lincoln

AMERICA Is MAKING TILES
Decorations in Spanish, Moorish and
Other Designs of Past Centuries
Add to Beauty of Homes.

In this country the making of tiles
has been taken up with enthusiasm by
potters. The styles vary greatly in
color and texture, showing Spanish
Moorish, German. old English and 9TH
er designs. The interesting way in
which they may be used to decorate a
modern facade is shown in a house
on Nineteenth street, New York city.
The tiles are set off with especial re-
fnement and brilliancy by the rough
cement background.
The large panel over the door is of
a pleasing, medium blue color, and the
decoration is Of a peacock, the whole
panel being in four parts. These were
taken from the Basilica Of st. Apollin-
arts at Ravenna. Around 1t is a border
of thing and cement and the small
tiles which ornament the ground show
two swastika forms.
One of these is copied from tile
at Tyro, the other copied from one ex-
cayated at Persepolis. This doorway
is further enhanced by large garden
pots, one on either side. These are
made of the same materials, a gray,
negative concrete, with tiles of his
toric design in dull green's and blues
and browns imbedded in the material
Of the vase. The tulip design on one
of these vases is eighteenth century
German.

Mistakes in Drainage.

It has been learned by experience
as we'll as by experimental investiga-
ton that the influence of tile drain
in removing water from soil of uni
form character is increased by low
ering the drain. A drain laid at con-
siderable depth along one side of a
road is better than two drains at less
depth, one on each side Of the road.
provided the soil is of uniform
character. Unfortunately, this quail
flying provision in the general state
ment is often forgotten, and a single
line Of tile is laid along one side Of
a road where the conditions are such
that it cannot possibly perform the de-
sired work. In a subsoil which changes
from sand to compact, fairly imper-
vious clay at six feet, 1t would be I'M
wise to install drains deeper than six
feet, for otherwise they would be in
material yielding very little water, and
might even prove less effective than
drains laid at the level of the clay
surface.

THE WAR.

For several weeks there has been little
or no fighting of Importance on the West
ern lines. Comparative quiet relgns but
If is believed 20 be the calm before the
storm. II seems to be certain that Ger
nanv is massing her forces and her arma-
ment for a supreme effort. Indeed VIC
tory here seems to be her last and Tor
9orn hone. The submarine hope although
not an entire failure, has failed IN frultlon
for so long period that of late its har-
vest has hardly kept pace with the build
EMO of the new ships, the communicating
5of vessels of all kinds and the acqulsl-
tion of ships belonging to nations which
are either neutral or only nomlnally at
war with Germany. In the east the
Turks are steadily falling back defeated
In Italy the Austrian drive has been
beaten back and is stalled in the snow
It is probable that many divisions. have
been transferred from Italy to france.
Hunger strikes of enormous magnitude
have taken place III Germany and IN
Austria. The strikes have been dealt
with in the summary and effective way
which is Germany's own, and the work
ers have gone back to labor rather than
face military court and military punish
,nent. But they still hunger both tor
food and for peace. Without the prom
ised victory of which the people have
been assured the uprising will be repeat
I'D and with such intensity of purpose
that it will be irresistible. For these
reasons it is evident that the decisive
blows which are to bring peace will be
struck on the western front. When the
guns which open the great struggle will
sneak no man knows, but the crisis is not
far distant. 1t is believed that the Ger
mans will attack The Allies can afford
to plav waiting game, but every days
hunger and unrest on the part of his peo-
ple weakens the Kaiser. It is believed
that he must strike and strike soon. The
greatest battle the world has ever known
seems to be imminent.

The Knockers PRAYER.

In the case of Bloodworth VS. Times
Publishing Company, 1913 Southwest
ern Reporter, 527, Justice Wood of
the Arkansas supreme court said, in
substance, that where defendants in
one part of its paper referred to plain
tiff as "knocker," and it was alleged
that he was the person specifically
meant it furnished the necessary col
louuium to show that the following
prayer published in the same paper
applied to the plaintiff:
"The Knockers Prayer: Lord, please
don't let this town grow. I've been
here for many years, and during that
time I have fought every public i'm
provement. I've knocked on every
thing and everybody. No firm or In
dividual has established a business
here without my doing all l could to
nut them out of business. I've lied
about them, and would have stolen
from them, if 1 had the courage. l
am against building new church, even
though 1 gave nothing. I am against
the electric light franchise being
granted to George Booser, George
Washington, or Jim Tom. 1t pains
me, oh Lord to see that in spite OF
my knocking the town is growing.
Then, too, more people might come
here, which would cause me to lose
some Of my pull. I ask, therefore, to
keep this town at standstill. that l
may be one of the chiefs. Amen p

NEVER TOO SOON TO BEGIN
Start Is All That Is Necessary in Plan
ming House That One Some Day
Is Going to Build.

There are two kinds of people who
are interested in the question OF build
ing houses: Those who have built one
house and live in it, and those who are
living in some ones else house. A
pretty comprehensive statement, but
really, who isn't interested in the mat
ter of building home?
Jones has a house Of his own, and
he is concerned with the thing he pos
sesses, says an exchange. Smith, who
owns no house, is concerned with some
thing he lacks Jones is homesick only
when he is away from home. Smith
can never be homesick in any place 9th
er than his home. Jones is an owner,
a master, liege lord of lands and all
that is therein. Smith is a tenant, a
payer of rent, slave of tribute. Jones
dwells on the right side of the door.
Smith is eternally wishing that he did.
It Is never too soon to begin planning
that house which some day you are go
ing to want to build. 1t is never too
soon, but sometimes too late, to save
the money for start toward it. The
start is all that is necessary.

Fishing on Sunday.

Sunday fishing, which has long been
looked upon as sacrilegious in the Isle
of Man, threatens to lose some of It's
terrors for the "unco guid." notes an
exchange. Until recently the North OF
England and Scotch fishermen engaged
in the Manx herring trade have kept
Sunday so vigorously that they have
remained in port from Saturday morn
ing to Monday afternoon. Fishermen
from the South, resenting the loss of
two nights fishing, have tried to break
through the tradition and Fleetwood
boat put out to sea one Sunday eve
ming recently, returning the next day
with a good catch. The buyers at first
looked askance at the herring as "Sun-
day-caught," but finally they were sold
at fair price.
