Own a Home.

The Chicago real estate board has
decided to launch an effort to encour-
age home ownership throughout the
city, that Chicago may regain its title
of "The City Of Homes"
The department Of labor at Wash
ington is engaged in a national CAM
paign to encourage the construction Of
homes for the purpose of avoiding any
6isarrangement of our business fabric,
Because of the discontinuance Of war
work, and to provide employment for
our boys returning from the army.
The idea has been tried with astound-
ing success in many cities. The ad-
vantage to the city as whole, from
the standpoint of better citizenship
alone, is so great as to more than JUS
tify all the efforts that may be ex-
pended.

Food Producer.

IF you started home garden last
season how about making it perma.
nent food producer?
A bed of asparagus Is known to have
given continuous service for more than
thirty years, and asparagus is one Of
the first Of the spring vegetables. A
row of blackberries along garden
fence has produced abundant crops for
twelve successive years. A few hills
Of rhubarb have provided delicious
sauce and helped with the making of
pies season after season, with very
little cost or attention. Strawberries
require more care. but they furnish
the first ripe fruit In the springtime,
and very small plot of ground in one
corner of the garden will supply the
family.
Put into home garden a little

Better homes make better people

eral appreciation Of absolute justice
is the need of the world.
Centuries ago all the laws necessary
for the good of mankind were summed
up In ten brief clearly stated laws.
Ever since that time the politicians
of the ~orld have been trying, with
out success, to make better laws.
Laws there are without number, but
not one Is an Improvement. not one
Is necessary If the original ten were
generally observed.
The second is "Iove thy neighbor
as thyself." And In referring to the
first: "On these two commandments
the whole law hangeth."
Get out the Bible and read the first
two and then the other eight.
Rural adornment through gardening
is one way to make better homes.
Give the family an attractive abiding
place-outside and in. Not wealth
alone can make home. There are
many attractive and beautiful homes
where money is scarce. The memory

HANDLE BATTERY WITH CARE
Motorist Should Economize on Cur
rent and Keep Engine Tuned
to Start on Second Turn.

The man who has trouble keeping
his battery charged will find that diff
ticulty largely can be overcome by
careful handling. In other words. he
should economize on current. He
should keep his engine tuned up so
that IL starts on the second or third
turn. Thus he can minimize the
amount of current used In starting.
and. remember. this is very large. The
current required is 200 to 600 times
as much as required by an ordinary
lG-candle power house. light.
He should also be economical with
his lights. He should use his head
lights only when absolutely necessary.
He should determine the car speed
at which his cutout relay makes con-
nection with the battery and operate
the car as much as possible above this
speed.
If he drives much In a congested
city district and stops his engine many
times he will find that his battery can
be kept more nearly charged by chang
sary instead of trying to do 1t all on
high gear, the reason being that by
changing gears he boosts his engine
speed so that his battery Is charged,
while II he tried to pull slowly on
high he gets down to q speed at which
charging stops due to the opening of
the cut out.

May, to encourage health habits
among school children. This short
campaign is complimentary to the
program of the Bureau of Educa-

stimulate interest in any health work
which is being undertaken with the
school children.
"Thle success of any community
undertaking necessarily depends on
the effective mobilization of all the
agencies which can contribute to
the work in hand, and in extending
the child welfare work 1t is especial
ly essential that all available forces
be brought together and a uniform
coherent program secured. The Jun
