gloves. which they sometimes perfum-

enemies when they wished to rio

Jeweled gloves were worn in the
fourteenth century as insignia OF
rank. and the clergy would change
them according to the color of their
vestments.

In the days Of Queen Elizabeth
gloves were very fashionable. and she
was very fond OF bestowing a glove

NURsERY-GROWN TREES BEST
Excellent Reasons Why Wild Varieties
Are Not Suitable for Growth
in Cities.

Digging wild trees for home plant
ing is not successful as a rule. In the
first place wild trees are likely to
grow where they are crowded and are
drawn out taller than they should be.
Others have not had an opportunity
to develop evenly and may be we'll
shaped on one side only. Then the
roots have been left to spread out at
long distances and the trees cannot
be removed without breaking off i'm
portant roots, so the trees will be a
long while in recovering and a large
percentage will die.
Nursery-grOwn trees are grown
where they develop evenly on all sides,
and are frequently transplanted and
root pruned, which keeps them from
growing too spinding and the roots
nre thus confined to a small area, so
the trees can easily and safely he
transplanted.
In making home paintings it is a
grave error to attempt to use wild
trees.
If many trees are to be used 1t is
advisable to visit nursery and per-
sOnally select each specimen.

Garden work is health giving, es
pecially for those whose occupations
are indoors. TO allow land that might
grow food to lie idle is almost criminal,
In this war-impoverished world. The
products of the garden are simply in
dispensable to a wholesome dietary.
When home grown their quality must
be better than any that can be bought.

space underneath them for built-in book
cases. The two front windows are
double easements, while that on the
end has double hung sashes. A wide
open doorway at the end of the living
room near the fireplace, leads into the
dining room. Although three sides OF
the room are broken by windows and
the fireplace there is some Is feet Of

This is living room that will have an
extraordinary appeal to the house
keeper.
The dining room is IL feet, 6 inches,
by 16 feet, and has a shallow china
closet built into the front wall. Three
windows make it light, cheerful
room. Directly back of the dining
room is the kitchen, 8 by IA feet. Note
the conveniences in the kitchen, as
shown by the floor plan. There are
double windows, with the sink under
meath, giving plenty of light at the
place where great part of the kitchen
work is DONE On either side are wall
cases for supplies, utensils, ETC., plac-
ing everything that is needed within
easy reach. A good-sized pantry, also
with a window, adds to the conven-
tence of the kitchen.

To Get Rid of Ants.

Powdered borax sprinkled arount
the infested places will eXterminate
both red and black ants. Powdered
cloves are said to drive them away.
Another plan is to grease plate with
lard and set it where these insects
abound. They prefer lard to anything
else, and will forsake sugar for it.
Place few sticks around the plate for
the ants to climb up on. Occasionally
turn the plate bottom side up over the
fire, and the ants will fall in with the
melted lard. Or, use small amount
of oil of turpentine, run into ihe
cracks with an ordinary sewing ma
chine oil can.

The two bedrooms and bath open Off
q short hall, which is entered from one
corner of the dining room. Each bed
room is 10 by 10 feet, and has two
windows, affording good light and
plenty Of ventilation. Three closets
provide clothes storage space, each
bedroom having one, and the third is
off the hall, next to the bathroom door.
The basement is finished in cement
plaster with u concrete floor. The
stairs leading to it open out of the
dining room, and it will be noted that
the fiue is at that point. Thus no steps
will be wasted in getting to the heating
plant. There is ample room in the
basement for the heater and the fuel
storage room while a large portion can
be partitioned off for rooms where food
is stored, and lawn and garden uten-
sis are kept when not in use.
While no stairway to the attic is
shown on the floor plan, it can be
placed where the closet off the hall is
placed, or by installing a movable
stairway in one of the bedrooms. The
movable stairway fits into the ceiling
and can be lowered ready for service
whenever wanted. This is great
space saver, especially adapted to
bungalows.
From the description and by a study
of both the floor plan and the perspec-
tive, it will readily be seen that this
is an exceptionally good bungalow de-
sign.
Building is the most satisfactory way
Of acquiring a home. The exact num-
Der of rooms that are needed for the
family, the room arrangement in ac-
cordance with the ideas of the per-
sons who are to live in it, and the ex-
terror that comedies with what the
individual regards as attractive, all are
obtained by the prospective builder
when he selects his own design, or has
one drawn according to his ideas by
an architect.
Many pitfalls, however, await the in
experienced home builder. His ideas,
or some of them, may not be practi-
cable. The safest plan for the prospec-
tive builder is to consult an architect,
the contractor who he expects will
build the house, and the lumber or ma
terial dealer who will supply the ma
terials of which the home is to be con-
structed. All three of these men have

REASONS FOR OWNING HOME
Fourteen Points That Will Not Cause
So Much Controversy as An
other Famous Set.

l. In the long run the home owner
is more prosperous than the renter.
2. The home owner is permanent {;
the shifter does little good to his city
or himself.
3. The home owner is progressive;
the renter is not interested in pro-
gressive movements.
4. Habits of thrift learned in home
buying add to the wealth of the indi-
vidual and the city.
S. The home owner beauties the
city; the renter does not.
6. Other things being equal, the
home owner is better worker than
the renter and keeps his position after
the renter is discharged.
Z. The owner of a home has an ever
present protection against poverty and
will not become charge upon the
community.
s. No city of renters can ever sue
ceed No nation of tenants ever be-
came great
g. A city that is worth living in is
worth owning home in.
10. Other things being equal. the
home owner is better citizen, bet
ter soldier, better American than
the renter.
II. The prosperity of any city de-
ponds upon the prosperity of its indi-
vdual citizens.
- The more beautiful our city is
the more people will be attracted to it.
10. Home owners add to the buying
power of municipality. Tenants
detract.
IA. Self-respect and independence
are the greatest assets in life. Health
and happiness are the children OF
success.

Uraes Value of Beechnut.

A writer in the Chicago Daily News
makes plea for the beechnut. A
high-grade quality of this nut might
easily be made a delicious article of
food. The beech tree, well grown, is
an object of great beauty. In Europe
extensive avenues of them are found,
and the fruit carefully conserved.
Many a township could easily handle
along its roadsides 10000 noble
beeches and as many hickories, not to
speak of large sprinkling of other
nut trees and shrubs, all of them large
ly taking care of themselves. Each
town or county could have its own
nursery for fostering high grade of
nut trees and shrubs.
