Cooperative Building.

The wasteful and unscientific Amer
ican method of laying out all the
streets and installing sewer, water and
gas over large area, and then selling
off a lot at a time here and there
over many years, leaving each owner
or occupant continually uncertain as
to the class Of building or Kind of
neighbor who may later buy and build
upon adjoining lots, is thus avoided.
In addition, by planning and contract
ing for the construction at one time
Of group of houses of from fifty
to two hundred and fifty in number
it is not only possible to obtain q
more harmonious and attractive group
ing Of architectural designs, but it Is
possible to give each house certain
benefits available from the location
and disposition of neighboring dwell
ings, to avoid placing back doors in
front Of living room windows, and
to give each owner all the benefits
possible for group or cooperative buy
ing.

MUNICIPAL CONTROL OF TREES
Example Set by Newark, N. j., Might
Well Be Copied Throughout
the Country.

What municipal control of shade
trees can do may best be illustrated
by what it has done; and as we have
lirst-hand knowledge Of what it has
done in Newark, says an exchange,
we may be pardoned for citing the
experience Of that town-though it is
our own. In 1904 Newark, acting un-
der a state law, created a shade-tree
commission. To this body (of three
members) was committed the "exclu-
sive and absolute control and power
to plant, set out, maintain, protect
and care for shade trees in any Of the
public highways of the municipality"
In 1905 a supplementary law trans
ferred to the commissions control the
care and improvement of "the public
parks belonging to the municipality
or any department in the government
thereof" In 1906 the commission was
empowered Ito pass, enact, alter,
amend and repeal ordinances for the
protection, regulation and control Of
all shade trees" situated "in the public
highways of the city. And now,
briefly, what has come of this?
It at once raised the status Of the
then existent street trees. These fine
old stately growths which had come
down to US out Of the past from the
fathers, but which for so long had
been strangers to considerate treat
ment, were now seen to be set apart
as objects Of governments special
care, as wards Of a municipal depart
ment specially created to care for and
protect them, and empowered to en-
force considerate treatment Of them.
Here was the germ Of what has since
unfolded into public sentiment
which had not heretofore existed-a
new and unique sentiment in favor
Of the trees, that goes on increasing.

F KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER Take Salts to flush Kidneys and neutralize irritat-
 ing acids
Kidney and Bladder weakness result

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder where it often remains to irritate and anf1ame, causing burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, ob1iging you to seek relief two or three times dur ing the night. The sufferer is in con- stant dread, the water passes some times with scalding sensation and is very profuse; again. there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it. While it is extremely annoying and one of the most simple ailments to over come. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act nor mally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and Is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. lad Salts Is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, efferves- cent 1ithia- water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

 Civilian visitors from unoccupied Germany expect to find great stocks of food in all stores many coming to the occupied area with the hope of se- curing supplies for themselves and taking them back with them This is not allowed Regarding food, the writer in the Leipsic newspaper says:
 sSrhere have been all kinds of stories in I,eipsic recently about the marvel ous things one can purchase in the American occupied territory. It was related that American stores had been established where all kinds of food was sold at unbelievably low prices. That is all very true-but the German inhabitants are permitted only to look at all these beautiful articles. They can huy nothing. Everything IS Tor the troops only. And only to be Sazed at by the Germans are the doughnuts, the savory odors of which fill the city of Coblenz and which are baked Iron early morning until late at night by the American soldiers in no less thar 20 great bakeries"
 The writer also touches on the work of the military police, saying: "A very unpleasant institution in Coblenz is the spy system. Possession or American property is forbidden. Who ever buys from American soldiers cigarettes. food, shoes and clothing and is caught with the goods is pun ished with a drastic fine or prison sentence"
 Summarizing. after writing several columns the writer says in, conclu- sion:
 'Disregarding the arrogant be- havior of the conuueror. the Americans in Coplenz and the bridgehead on the right of the Rhine conduct themselves in a very proper manner Of course, there are cases of disturbances by soldiers now and then. but if an Amer ican soldier tries to assault German and a military policeman is near enough to arrest the soldier, one may rest assured that the military court will punish the American accordingly.
 "Ali in all. judgment of the Amer jeans may be summed up thus: They do not in reality behave worse than would any other army of occupation, althoueh the soldiers do annoy the population--annoy it in many respects. And that~is a desirable state of affairs. Thereby the idea of separation, which has already made considerable prog- ress here and there in the Rhineland, will lose more and more of it's sup porters, and it will be easier for tne people of the Phineland to remain part of the empire"

Twenty-Seven Million Dollar Fires.


 China has refused to go back to sleep.
 Four tall, specially constructed kilns beside the Yantze at Pootung. just across the river from Shanghai. have been smoking for weeks. perhaps the eostlest smoke in Chinese history. Twen- ty-seven millions of dollars worth Of opium was their fuel-all the stock of the great "godown' or warehouses of Shanghai.
 The smoking of the kilns meant the rassing of the opium pipe from the hands of the young Chinese republic. just as it was about to puff it's way back into the dream stupor of past centuries. The project to revive the opium traffic in China after it's elimination, more than two years ago. project born of revolu- tionary turmoil and political corruption. came to nothing.
 On the morning of January IT launch carrying a large party chugged it's way from the customs jetty at Shanghai and cut wake across the busy Chinese river to the llilns.

 The opium was packed in balls about six inches in diameter Some half dozen of these balls were In each chest. And each ball was worth 5000. The inspec- tors examined the chests to see whether they had been tempered with. They cut open the balls of opium, to make sure that none of the drug had been snug gled away And while they were doing f smuggling, undetected, was going on before their eyes.
 MT. Rich tells the story. Some of the Chinese business men still wear long finger nails according to the traditional custom of China" he ex- plained. One of these was assisting in the inspection. Quietly, as he opened ball he would scoop up opium with < finger nail. Then he would wipe his hands with his handkerchief at once re- moving and corcealing the drug. When at last he was discovered there wac found on him a little ball of opium. wrapped in his handkerchief The man by the way, was the president of the Society for the Prevention of tho Snug gljng Of Opium

 They tell tales of pitiful suffering from hunger in the villages through which they passed. One of them, F. EvIampieff, of Archangel. thus describes his experiences when he returned from Germany:
 At Petrograd we were sent to barracks, where a Bolshevik commissar started 10 read us the Soviet programme. The prisoners protested
 Give us first something to eat, and then read us your programme they cried.
 Then the commissar gave up trying to read the programme, saying we were not fit elements for propaganda, and he left us. Each of us received 9 rubles in ad- vance on his salary.
 Famine was reigning in Petrograd. The first category (working people of Bolshevik sympathies) received one pound of oats daily. The second category re-
  grind the oats in coffee mills, to make flour for bread For Christmas the Pet rograd inhabitants received two potato es for each person. A slice of bread is soio for 25 rubles. There was no tobacco. People smoked cabbage and nettle.
 The situation at Vologda was the same as in Petrograd. It was famine and the population stood in line for bread some times for two days. There was no private commerce. The shops were empty
 On his way from vologda toward Arch angel commissar tried to coax Evlamo- jeff into serving in the Red army and' on his refusal sent him back to Noiogda.
