Of stabilizng prices is the possibility OF

THE business of erecting buildings
differs rather materially from most other

bought at a certain figure and sold again
before a different range of prices can
affect it, but building is in the nature

shaking a comb on which they are
working,oyer the mouth of the box.
Next, in a room with all the shades
but one drawn, the box is opened As
the bees come out of the box they are
attracted to the lighted window, and
cluster there on glass or screen Mrs.
Beekeeper picks up the insects by their
heads and, holding them under a mag.

this purpose 4 small pair of tweezers
is used The stings are placed in q

When the critical hour came and the

RASCALS AT WORK.
BY DeIuding the Possessors Of War

When the officials of the treasury de-

stamps were being presented for re.

which has resulted in the exposure of

in this trade buy war savings stamps
from their innocent or ignorant hold

redemption value and then collect on
them from the government The loss
falls on the original purchasers, who
can i'll afford to bear it.
There is q legitimate and proper
trade in war savings stamps carried on
between the government and their pur
chasers If the owners Of the stamps
need the money invested in them the
government will pay it to them. The
process of redemption involves certain
formalities intended to prevent stamp
owners from selling them for frivolous
reasons before maturity, but no stamp
owner in need of cash would be put to
great trouble to get it. OF course the
government, which issued the stamps
as a detail of its scheme to raise mon
money to pay for the war, wants to
discourage redemption.

Rag Carpet Growing More Popular.
With the greatly increased price Of
pile fabrics since the war, the old time
rag carpet has come into its own. There
began to be more or less general use
of the rag carpet some 10 or 10 years
ago, with a constantly increasing popu
larity, but within the last two years
it has come up with leaps and bounds.
1t has been the only carpet many peo-
pie have felt able to buy and it was
the cheapest and most practical thing
on the market. II increased some Is
per cent in price and has only now
dropped third of that. II is made by
small country manufacturers, both old
and new rags being used A few large
manufacturers make it as a side line.
Previous to war times it was most used
in colonial and old-time houses for dec
orative and period effects. The braided
rug, which is associated with the rag
carpet, has not shared the increase in
popularity. 1t is always handmade
and consequently more expensive. Be-
fore wartime great braided rugs to
cover the entire center of the floor ran
up as high as 500 apiece at retail.
Both braided mats and rag carpets are
now regular staples in the retail carpet
