Proper Housing Means Much.

In England the principal original investors in a garden city develop ment are not concerned solely with the financial profit obtainable from the venture The basis of income re- turn is sufficient to remove any sus- picion of charity from the transaction. while it is at the same time recognized by all the investors-ineluding in part, of course, those manufacturing con- cerns which may have certain amount of selfish interest in the matter-that the contented and more efficient work men thus obtained represent a better return than a few per cent additional on their investment. From q larger point of view it is also apparent that the healthier generations that will result from workmen living under these better conditions mean greater power, wealth and efficiency to the whole na- ton.

TREES FOR THE ROADSIDE
Western Journal Advocates the Plant ing of Apple and Various Other
 Kinds of Fruits.

The example of Minnesota village which is planting rows of apple trees along it's roadsides instead of the more conventional Lombardy poplars, Nor way naples, box elders and white elms. is capable of adoption to almost every American community. The practice. like good many others which now commend themselves to favor, is the result of individual initiative. About 70 years ago. 1t seems, retired min fster introduced fruit trees to the road way running through his own property. The school district, seeing their value. has now arranged for planting 250 more apple trees of an approved va riety and has committed itself to care fol them. These are theoretically ;he property of the lot owner, but 1t is safe guess that the public will harvest good deal of the crop
 It is nevertheless pleasing custom. and one which is not likely to inter- fere seriously with the commercial side of fruit growing. The spring months must be particularly beautiful in this part of Minnesota, to say nothing of the annually recurring harvest festival every autumn. One would not begrudge the passer-by his share of the ripe pomes. and it is practically certain that the privilege would not be great ly abused if planting of this kind were general. The experience of orchardists in such regions, for illustration as the great prune- growing belts of oregon and Washington shows that when cer- tain fruits become reasonably common loss from offering is negligible. But part of the value of the roadside tree would be the tacit invitation to share in the product thereof-Portland Ore gonian.

LOOK BEYOND THE LABEL

The pantry list contains quite as many items that are valuable to the cook according to their good spelling qualities as it does of articles that are valuable because of their good keeping qualities. So it often happens that such cnin1s as keeps always" wont spaii," etc, as read every day in ad- yertisements would mean, if true. that no service could be expected of these products.
 For example. take matches-the match ethat won't spoil is not match Sbat stick. It's only use is it's spoil F Another item that gives still 'hetter example is that of baking pow der which years ago was considered by many as u food but in reality is not food but merely a preparer of food; stiH, through misleading adver- tisements many people have been led to believe that they eat baking pow der, but this is not the case. Like the match baking powder must "speil" in order to serve.
 So, keeping qualities may be impor- tant only as they insure spelling quail ities, which merely means that such items mHst be manufactured so that the sposing will not take place pre- maturely and fail when used
 Thus, it is that a small box of matches may he cheap at cents con- pared with a box double the size at q cents or quarter of a pound can of baking powder of the type that only requires one level teaspoonful to the cup of flour (such as caIumet) will go further than a 12-ounee tin of lowgrade goods, sold for the same money. The size of the package or the attractiveness of the label mean nothing. Values must be measured by the service they give. It's ths only safe way today.-Adv.
