NEVER KNEW HE WAS BEATEN
That Quality, Among Many Others,
Accounts for Andrew Jackson's
Rise to Greatness.

The boyhood friends of Andrew
Jackson, so the story goes, could never
quite understand how Jackson became
so great a general-not to say presi-
dent-while the rest of them remained
simple pioneer citizens at home.
"Why, Jim Brown, right down the
pike here" they said, "could throw
Andy three times out of four; and look
where he is now!''
'How did there happen to be a
fourth timer" asked some one. "Usu-
ally it's three times and out, isn't it?''
''Sure it is. But Andy, you see,
never had the sense to know when he
was beat. He would never stay
throwed. So. by and by Jim would get
tired out throwing him and stay
throwed himself And then Andy
would think he'd beat him."
There is whole sermon in a nut
shell in that simple little anecdote.
The thing that counts is not how many
times you are ''throwed," but whether
you are willing to 'stay throwed"
Your adversary, whether he be a
person or a misfortune or difficulty,
or just hard job, can be tired out in
the end by throwing you just as sure
ly, If not as swiftly, as by your throw
ing him. 1t is merely a question OF
which of you gives in-in his mind
first, and "stays throwed." Remember
that Youths Companion.

why pay rent when rent will pay
for homer" This is a favorite slogan
of the real estate and building pro-
moter, and has been used so much
that the average renter is apt to be
skeptical of its truth. Skeptical or
not, it is true in the average case, as
anyone with logical mind will read
lily see.
The owner of investment property,
or property that is rented charges
for the use of house or an apart
ment what he can get for them. 1t
Is true that rent should be fixed so
that the owner will get a reasonable
return on his investment-enough to
pay the taxes, the repairs, sinking
fund to replace the building when it
falls into decay, and a reasonable in.
terest on his money. But the law of
supply and demand operates in this
case just as it does in most others
And just now the demand is such that
the owners of rentable property are
making up for lean years. They are
charging what they can get and that
is plenty.

was more profitable to build home

erable investment. The location with
reference to schools, the street, the
character of the residents of the
neighborhood and above all the prob
ability of that locality improving in
popularity, and consequently in value,
and whether or not the improvements,
such as water and pavements, have
been made, all should be taken into
consideration.
Selection of Design.
The site chosen, then comes the
selection of the design for the home.
1t is not good policy to build a $4,000
home on a $500 site; neither should
site. The house should be something
like in value the others in the neigh
borhood, for the reason that there
may come time when it will be nee
essary to sell it.
Illustrated herewith is a modern
wood bungalow of six rooms, a size
that will provide for the needs of the
average family and will be readily
salable should that be necessary.
The dimensions of the bungalow are
20 feet inches, by 43 feet, which
allows plenty of lawn and garden
space on a 5O-foot lot. The exterior
of this bungalow is exceptionally at
tractive, the wide porch across the
front, the long sweep of the roof and
the dormer window in the attic all
np aoT n
be proud.
The house is of standard wood con-
struction, set off by a porch with
brick pillars and cement steps. This
is economical construction and pro-
vldes a good weather-tight house.
Room Arrangement.
All of the rooms in this bungalow
are, of course, on the first floor, but
the roof slope permits a large attic
space, which helps to keep the house
warm in winter and cool in summer
The floor plan shows the room ar.

house are the living room and library

/ MAKING STUDY OF VOLCANOES
Department of Agriculture Has Taken
Up New Line, Which Is Bound to
Be of Interest.

The department of agriculture has
begun the extensive observation of the
volcanoes within its borders and in
sular possessions, and has recently
taken formal charge of the observa-
tory on Kilauea, Hawaiian islands.
Prof. T. A. Jaggar, Jr., formerly of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
who has been director of the observa-
tory since its foundation, will remain
in charge. The Investigations at Kill
auea were begun in 1912, under the au-
spices of the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology, and since 1913 nave
been maintained at the expense of the
Hawaiian Volcano Research associa-
ton, consisting chiefly of residents of
Honolulu. 1t is expected that the
weather bureaus work in volcanology
will be developed in many details and
eventually be extended to Alaska and
other regions under the control of the
United States in which active vol
canoes exist.

blood tonics are taken in the form Of
fruit and vegetables.
However, when the warm days of
summer come, they bring a muscular
relaxation which reacts upon the di-
gestive tract as well as upon the
whole body and it needs to have its
task lightened, so we lessen the
amount of food or serve the lighter
forms of food. Foods rich in fat such
as pastries, cakes and various sauces,
should be partaken of in moderation.
Protein foods which furnish the
heat should be cut down and more of
the succulent fruits and vegetables
form the main bulk of the food.
In the warm weather the housewife
must plan more accurately not to have
much leftover food, for spoilage will
occur in a few hours in protein food,
making it unfit to serve.
When very warm a cold drink in
the form of plain soda or phosphate
is much less harmful than a soda or
a sundae.
Ice creams and sundaes taken at the
end of meal will not chill the stom-
ach unduly.
In planning food for hot DAYS it is
wise, because of the habit, to serve
one hot dish, even a drink, as a too
radical change in meals cannot al
ways be borne.
If ones dinner is eaten at noon the
supper should have at least one hot
dish, simple but wholesome-a cream
ed meat on buttered toast, milk toast,
macaroni and cheese, or bread and
cheese custard made by spreading
slices of bread with butter, putting
them into baking dish and cover
ing with one egg to each cup of milk
the amount depending upon the mum
Der to be served. Over each slice of
bread as it is placed, put a generous
layer of rich finely diced cheese. Bake
in a moderate oven until the custard
is set.

a task which takes real training and
practice to be successful.
Cream Peach cake.-Bake a layer
cake and for the filling add a cupful
of very ripe peaches put through a
ricer to sweetened whipped cream that
is favored with almond
Coffee Junket.-For a dessert which
is wholesome and easy to prepare as
well as dainty to serve, junket stands
at the head. Take one junket tablet,
crush and dissolve in a tablespoonful
of water, then add to a quart of luke
warm milk. Reserve half a cupful of
the milk and pour boiling hot over two
tablespoonfuls of coffee, let stand until
well infused, then strain and cool be-
fore adding to the milk. If the milk is
heated too hot the junket will not
thicken the milk. Serve with whipped
cream on the top of the glass.
Supper Dish.-Brown a slice of fine
ly minced onion in little butter, then
add half a cupful of cooked rice and
when seasoned stir in three eggs,
sprinkle with a slice of minced boiled
ham and serve hot with toast.
Lamb CutIets.-Cook eight lamb
chops on one side until well Drowned !;
turn and on the cooked side place a
teaspoonful of seasoned cooked maca-
roni. Cover with buttered crumbs and
let cook in the oven about eight min
utes. Creamed peas served in thick
white sauce may be used instead of
the macaroni, which will make a most
| tasty dish.
Ice Cream in Case.-Bake an angel
cake in a round deep tin and when
cold, cut out the center leaving a thick
shell to hold vanilla ice cream anG
serve at once.
Cherry Ice Cream.-This is botf
good to look at and better to eat. Use
a cupful of rich cherry juice and a pin
of cream with a few drops of almond
extract. Sweeten to taste and freeze
as usual. Serve in, sherbet cups ant
garnish with cherry or a spoonful O.
minced cherries with some of tn,

Louis the Severe who, in the thir-

by living there, and Emperor Louis,
the Bavarian, next in succession, who
built the first city wall. The city
owes its beginning to Duke Henry the
Lion. who established a mint there in
115S and built a bridge across the
Isar so he might levy toll on the salt

Reverting to the economy Of build

finance the building operations
The lot owner has no difficulty In
securing the money to erect a house
of a cost that is commensurate with
the lot. This is done in several ways,

Velocity of Stars

From the spectroscopic measure
ments made at Mount Wilson observa-
tory to determine the radial velocity
of stars ii. e., the speed with which
they are approaching or receding from
our solar system), it appears that the
star A. G. Berlin 1866 has a radial We
locity of 800 kilometers per second,
the highest constant velocity so far
observed for any star. Next to this
comes Lelande 1865, with a velocity of
325 kilometers per second, in the op-
posite direction.
