AN ARMY OF FRIENDS

For more than half century Father
Johns Medicine has proved its value
as a pure and wholesome body build
ing tonic. Those who prove it's value
by using it in their homes always tell
others Of its merit. This great army
of people who use Father Johns Medi-
cine is constantly growing in numbers
and the medicine has passed on from
one generation to another as the
standard, safe family medicine to be
used when any member of the family
becomes weak or rundown or is at
tackled by a cold or cough. The great
food value of Father Johns Medicine
makes it especially good for those who
are thin, pale and weak. It builds
new flesh and strength without using
alcohol or dangerous drugs in any
form.

Hoe away all weeds and rubbish

Mound about the trunk slightly. Scat
ter poisoned bats in mouse runways,
near entrances to burrows, mole run

mice. Be thorough. Poisoned sweet
potato bats are quite effective and
keep well in contact with soil except
when there is danger of freezing. Poi
soned grains are also good. Cut sweet
potatoes into pieces about the size of
grapes. Place three quarts of fresh
ly cut bats in a pan and wet with
water. Drain off the water and slow

in check. In sod or sod mulch or

Proper Housing Important.

Many think of housing as something
which concerns only great cities. Res
idents of smaller cities and towns read
reports of high buildings, covering the
ground completely, with dark, unyen
tilated rooms, crowded with dodgers,
and then think of one-story cottages,
or, at most, two or three-storied dwell
ings of their own cities, and thank
God they are not as New York or even
as Chicago. 1t does not do to be too
sure that the home town has no dark,
unventilated rooms, no house that is
breeder of tuberculosis. l have seen
In several of the smaller cities of the
Middle West conditions that make
nearly as good horrible examples in
these respects as any that l have seen
in Chicago. But doubtless 1t is true
that more bad housing of the kind
mentioned can be seen in a ten-minute
ride on a Chicago elevated train than
in a months survey of smaller COM
munities by the most keen-sighted OBJ.

PLAN BEAUTY In BUILDING
Cottage Seeming to Grow Out of the
Ground Can Be Cheap and
Not Ugly.

Soon the economical small dwelling
is coming in it's thousands, writes
Lieut.. Gordon Allen, r. E., author of
'The Cheap Cottage and Small
House," in the London Mail.
Cost has always been an essential
consideration in the building of cot
tageS. And some of the very qualities
making for cheapness tend also toward
pleasing appearance. Repose and
genuine LONELINESS, the right use of
materials, the application of thought
and good taste to produce graceful
proportion and picturesque balance
those are some Of the elements help
it's environment without adding any
thing to the money expenditure.
Let us examine our historical cot
tages and try to discover by analysis
whence comes their beauty. We shall
find that the old builders made direct
for comfort and convenience-as they
then regarded it--without troubling
overmuch about ornament. And by
force of circumstances they were COM
PEELED to use only the building ma
terialS at hand.
What an object lesson for us today !!
Local materials are still cheaper
than those from distance. They al
so weather" better, besides looking
more suitable. States, for instance,
are Earring and out of keeping in clay
districts. And where stone is avail
able, bright red bricks offend nature
as well as the neighbors.
Forty per cent OF the cost of a house
is spent on walling. A legitimate
means of saving in this direction is to
reduce the height of buildings. This
can be done without taking away from
the floor area, which is SO important.
Moreover, lofty rooms are not neces
sarily healthier than low rooms, for
tall windows and other kinds of ven
tilation can easily be provided.
And the lower cottage is and the
more spreading it's lines, the more pic
turesque will it be.

RilIboards Go in Los Angeles.

Southern California's metropolis is
fast becoming billboardless city, ac
cording to reports submitted to the
city council. Of the 927 billboards
and advertising signboards standing
last June, $40 have been removed in
compliance with the new ordinance
forbidding such advertising in the resi-
dence section. A few remaining
boards are left because of difference
of opinion over the wording of the law
but it is expected that these will bt
eliminated. The signs to which the
majority of the populace objected to-
tailed six miles of space. Determined
opposition had to be overcome be
fore the great placards finally wer
removed.
