SERVANT LACK AIDS HOTELS
Scarcity of Help in Homes Sending Families to New York
 HosteIries.

New York.-Although the fuel prob lem which developed in New York homes last year is to a great extent re- sponsible for the unprecedented busi- ness of the apartment hotels this fall, there have been new developments which increase the influx of apartment hotel dwellers throughout the city. The greatest individual reason is the serv- ant problem.
 Persons who have had servant staffs for years without a change have been known to lose as many as three in a single week lately because of unprece- dented demand for experienced help and the ,J1ices offered for it. [
 The apartment hotel habit is easily formed, and with the scarcity of fuel, scarcity of help, scarcity of suitable apartments and scarcity of vans to ac- complish large movings the fact that there is hardly an apartment hotel va cancy left in New York is not especial ly remarkable.

Rules for House Painting.

A widespread movement to preserve national and private property has aroused great interest in the materials which will assist in such preservation. Paint is by far the most important agency in the protection of exterior surfaces against deterioration through heat and moisture. Paint means col or; and just as the degree of protec- tion produced through paint varies ac- col ding to the quality of that material itself, so the effect of celors produced with paint depends greatly upon the character of the different hues in which the various kinds of paints are manu- factured Pure or bright colors have their place, while grayed neutral colors are often necessary to assist in produc- ing the right appeara. e; but the in tense or dull dead colors should al- ways be avoided in exterior painting Peoples Home Journal.

TREES AND SHRUBS FOR PARK
Those That Produce colored Fruits Should Always Be Given Prefer
 ence, for Many Reasons.

The guiding principle in park plan- ming should be beauty, but it should not be a temporary or one-seasonai beauty. Hence it follows that shrubs and trees which produce colored fruits, and retain them for long periods, are preferable to plants whose chief deco rative contribution is a short burst of bloom. Such shrubs are hand somer at all times after Towering and are particularly valuable in winter when every bit of color in the land- scape is precious. They are yalua- ble moreover in supplying bird food.
 A few suggestions as to the use Of fruit-producing plants are not out of place. The ideal American park is natural woodland, modified and embel- lished, or planting that follows nat ural lines. Informal treatment is ai- most universally preferred to formal. From the standpoint of bird attraction this is fortunate, since clipping shrubs either prevents or reduces the pro- duction of fruit and causes the plants to form such solid and dense sur faces that they are unlnviting to birds.

INFLUENZ TOOK
 AWAY MANY YEARS
 OF AMERICAS MANHOOD
tBy The Associated Press.)

NbV The ASSOclabeu TTcSS.J
 New York, Dec. 2.-The Spanish i..f4uenza epidemic which swept this country during the autumn "stole' millions of the best years of life from American manhood and womanhood, Henry Moir, an insurance authority of this city, declared here today.
 The average economic loss of ac- tive life in each case of death from the malady of it's aftermath was at least 25 years, said MT. Moir, empha- sizing the peculiarity of the epidemic which found most of it's victims under 30 years of age, as compared with the average life of 55 and 60 years of persons insured in we'll established companies.
 Addressing the Association of Life Insurance Presidents, MT. Moir, who is president of the Actuarial So- ciety of America, described how the epidemic had dislocated the standard mortality experience of the insurance companies in the past Is years. With no pestilence taking toll of lives in the United States and Canada dur ing that period, he said, the stand

proper Receptacle for Rubbish.

We are all agreed that dust, dirt, garbage ana other rubbish should be kept as far as possible from the dwell- ing house, yet it is surprising how often we find the rubbish receptacle as close as possible to the doors and windows of the house. It is to be regretted that in so many towns these receptacles are open wood boxes, pails or old baths. We find grand selection, but it is difficult matter to secure the provision cf q proper bin, and the official often does not obtain the support he should. If only we could press upon the people the necessity to secure for themselves a proper galvanized bin with cover, which appears to me to be the most satisfactory if properly used !--Archi rect anG Contract Reporter.

ards of health of persons under 50 were found to be much better than at and recorded time in the past. But the influenza epidemic, causing &C., BPS deaths in A large cities in eight weeks, or an average of four of every 1000 of the population, he added, had brought new element into the situ- ation. Investigation of claims be- fore several large insurance compa- nies, he declared, showed that 13 per cent of the deaths were due to in- flunza and 87 per cent to pneumonia following influenza, while less than 2 per cent were of persons over 55 years, as against 80 per cent under 40 and 50 per cent under 35.
 From these figures, the actuary said, it was apparent that the age of maximum virulence of the epidemic had. been under 30, taking the young and vigorous" those whom we ex- pected to undertake much of the worlds work"
 MT. Moir warned the public that there. is no assurance that the danger is past. 'We learn," he said, 'that influenza is now revisiting Europe and this time there are indications that it may be more objectionable than the milder form of midsummer. We should therefore take warning from this recurrence and observe watchful care to prevent further in- lection, since the disease has dis tinctly decreased and seems to be dy- ing out in this country"

crete which transformed the huge ugly towers into impressive monu- ments. The problem of form work for the construction of the shell was difficult
 First the tanks were constructed in the usual manner, of steel, and ths Q were filled with water so that they would be the same shape. It was feared that if concrete were poured while they were empty slight changes might take place when the tanks were filled, causing the concrete to crack. The forms for the first setting were placed on the foundation and braced to the ground. AS each panel of the form weighs a ton it is readily seen that it was q difficult task to raise the huge weight.
 These water towers have been de- signed so that they fit into the City Beautiful plan of Cincinnati. The top of the concrete structure has the ap- pearance of the battlementS of an old fort, and is really very effective.- Scientific American.

PLEA FOR VINES AND SHRUBS
Undoubtedly Render Roads More Att tractve and Also Tend to Keep
 Down the Dust.

Fortunately we have iff this country examples of well-kept parkways and boulevards which border cultivated lands. Their ample parking is grown to grass and embellished with herba- ceous flowers, shrubs, and trees. Yet the farm lands they border are neither overwhelmed by weeds nor devastated by insects and rodents.
 The question of roadsides propagat- ing vast numbers of nOxious weeds may be viewed in more than one light. For instance, the moving of waysides for long series of years has not done away with the need of cultivating crops; indeed it cannot, for cultiva- tion is necessary for other reasons Gas loosening, aeration and water conser- vation) than the destruction of weeds. Furthermore, the amount of cultiya- ton customarily given crops is suffi- cient to control all the weeds the land present despite the raging of road- side growths. On the other hand, the lack of verdure and shade and the general dreariness of roadsides make it very desirable that different treat ment of these most extensive public parkings be adopted. Placing vines upon fences and planting numerous shrubs and shade trees along the way will not only render the roads more attractive but will tend to keep down tbn ,1uSf -IIXchange.

AN AMERICANS OPINION

 "What's the matter ?" asked the secretary.
 "Matter? There ain't anything the matter with me-" said the Amer ican soldier angrily. "You better ask them policemen what's the mat ter with them. Say, they couldn't hold down a job ten minutes in New York. They can't even talk-just make noises"
 "What did you want to talk to them about?" asked the Y. M.t c. A. man.

CHRISTMAS BUYING.

The following authorized state ment has been issued by Grosvenor B. Clarkson, acting director of the Council of National Defense, lifting the ban on Christmas buying:
 Before the armistice, the Council of National Defense, composed of the Secretaries of War, Navy, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce and Labor entered into an agreement with rep resentatives of leading industries and retail interests to the effect that the sale of Christmas goods should undergo certain restrictions with re- gard to the employment of labor during the Christmas season, and and delivery facilities. Certain other agreements were likewise entered in- to- The Council of Defense now be- lieves that as one of the steps essen tial to the rapid establishment of normal after-the-war conditions, it should and hereby does lift its. ban in connection with holiday buying in the desire to give national impetus to the unemployment of those norm- ally engaged in the production of holiday material and in the holiday trade. The Council is further impel- led to this decision by reason of the necessity now confronting us to get our military forces and munition- factory workers back to the ordinary pursuits of life with the least possi- ble shock in making the change" "

FRAUDULENT FRUIT
 TREE AGENTS.

Facts have been brought to the attention of the State Council indi- eating the prevalence of fruit-tree frauds being perpetrated upon the farmers of Arkansas. The offending agents will be brought to Justice in the Federal and State courts where ever definite evidence can he found, and farmers and others who may have knowledge of such frauds are urged to report the same to the chairman of the County Council that the necessary action may be taken. The frauds now being practiced are %of the following kinds:
 a--In certain counties fruit tree agents represent themselves to La United States Government men sent to encourage orchard-planting. This is fraudulent because the United States Government does not author ize it's men to sell or take orders for nursery stock.
 Probably the greatest aoax is on the part of the fruit-tree agents who take samples of the soil and pretend to send them in for analy- sis to determine what varieties of fruit should be planted This practice, for obvious reasons, is condemned 
 as fraudulent by reputable horticul- turists and chemists.
 c-Another widely practice1 fraud this year is the offer in which the initial purchase price of the trees the fruit-tree agent agrees to care for, spray and prune the trees for a given period of years. In one county we are informed agents have agreed to send spraying machine and have contracted for enough work equaling forty times the capacity of the machine. For obvious reasons, such contracts cannot be fulfilled.
 d-The selling or delivery of nur- sery stock in Arkansas without prop CT Arkansas State Inspection C riff cates as provided by law is prima facie evidence of fraud. In most eases two or more of the above cited frauds are practiced in combination, and in one county we are informed the tx- tent of the fraudulent sales has reached the amount of $60,000.
 The farmers should be protected against these frauds. When for any reason, prosecution is not desirable, the offending persons might be warned that such practices wlll Lot be tolerated and that prose, c,ion

Orders have been received at Camp Pike which authorize the command ing officer to discharge immediately from service such enlisted men as can show by their own applications that there is serious sickness, priva tion or want at home; their crops are needing their attention or that their business is suffering by reason of their detention in the army or that they may lose positions in civil life by delays in their discharge. The applications must be made by the soldier himself and must be verified through the Red Cross or some other agency. The commanding officer is also athorized to accept the resigna- tion of such officers who desire to return immediately to civil life and can show through proper military channels that there services can be dispensed with.
