Good and Bad Effects of Tea.

The action of tea as stsmulant on
the brain is well known. Tea causes
a slight rise in the blood pressure,
gives fillup to the heart, causes
somewhat deeper breathing. and re-
stores for a spell waning muscular
power. It's chief demerit is the .etard-
ing influence that it exerts upon diges-
ton.

NO CHANCE OF
BUILDING COSTS
BEING LOWERED

"Any immediate reduction in the
price Of building materials is not prob
able and is practically impossible .
said Chris Anderson, manager of the
Ell Centre branch Of the Hayward
Lumber & Investment Company.
"While every means is being exer-
cised to instill in the people the desire
to build, they hesitate. thinking that
prices will drop in a few months,
leaving them on the short end of the
deal. This is not likely, for instead
of lowering, they are due for another
advance the first of the year, for it
is rumored that freight rates viii in
crease 25 per cent at that time.
''The lumber. as it stands in the
forest, is worthless. About 80 PEI
cent of the cost to the consumer is
labor and transportation and. if the
rates advance, as it is threatened, 9
house tht formerly cost $4,000 cannot
be replaced for $4,000. :.

DEAD VEGETATION is USEFUL
Grass, Straw, Stalks and Leaves
Should Be Piowed Under for
Humus- Making Material.

According to the Ohio experiment
station, vegetable matter, such as
grass, straw, stalks and leaves, loses
in six months fully 90 per cent of its
carbon or humus-making material. In
other words, these materials plowed
under in the fall are twice as valuable
for humus as when plowed under in
the spring. Here is an excellent rea-
son why every day. when the ground
is dry enough, should be utilized in
blowing under the dead vegetation on
our fields.
