PAYS TO STAY IN SCHOOL
Fact Shown in Dollars and Gents by Figures Compiled by Bureau of
 Education.

The value of staying at school is stated in dollars and cents in figures recently compiled by the bureau of education and distributed 10 boys and girls throughout the country by the children's bureau.
 From q study of a large number of actual cases it has been found that at twenty-five years of age the boy who remained in school until he was eighteen had received $2.OOO more sal ary than the boy who left school at fourteen, and that the better-educated youth was then receiving more than 5000 year more in pay.
 "This is equivalent to an investment of S1S.000 at per cent" the state ment said. "Can a boy increase his capital as fast in any other way?
 From this time on the salary of the better-educated boy will rise still more rapidly, while the earnings of the boy who left school at fourteen will increase but Iittle."

Bruschi of Como. The proposed line

sterilized scalpel into 1T and using
the back of the point of the scalpel
as a marker. After the lapse of few
seconds the scalpel is again dipped
into the phenol. and the tissues are
cut with a slow and gentle up-and-
down movement similar to that used
in saving. A film of phenol forms on
the blade when it is immersed, and
that anaesthetizes the tissues as they
are cut. Frequent clippings are nee
essary to maintain the film, which is

Like everything else, the cost of
building has gone up in the last four
years, but not in such proportion as
a great many other necessities. This
increase in the cost of building is re-
sponsible, in a great measure for the
increase in rents. But the main fac
tor in rental increase is the fact that
there are fewer homes than families
who want them. Bidding one against
the other, most families have found
that their landlords are In a receptive
mood, and are getting all that they
can for the houses or apartments
they own.
It is the latter fact that makes
building home of your own an ex-
ceptionally good investment at the
present time. If property owners
can make 10 or 15 per cent on their
investments, it is pretty good idea
to pay that extraordinary profit to
yourself. And, as it will take at least
five years for the country to catch up

room At either side of the fireplace
are windows.
The dining room at the right is II
feet inches by 16 feet, and. being
a corner room, with double windows
in each wall, is a CHEEKY place. Back
of the dining room is the kitchen, s
feet 9 inches by 10 feet, with a good
sized pantry off it.
At the rear of the living room is n
door that opens into short hall
that connects the two bedrooms. each
of which is 10 feet 6 inches by IL
feet. Between the bedrooms and op-
posite the dining room door is the
bathroom.
1t will be noted that plenty of closet
space is provided. there being closet
in the entrance hall, and one in con-
nection with each of the bedrooms.
The basement extends under the
whole of the house and provides ade-
quate space for the heating plant, fuel
storage and rooms for fruits and vege-
tables, and other things that usually
are stored in the basement.
From this description it can readily
be understood that this home is a
convenient and comfortable place in
which to live, and, at the same time,
it is one Of the least expensive of
homes to build.
While the house shown in the Illus
tratfon is of standard frame construc-
ton with clapboard sides, either brick
or stucco may be substituted without
changing the character of construc-
ton. For stucco any of the patented
stucco boards, or metal lath is put on
with the stucco over it. Or wall of
a single brick thickness may be used
on the outside.
These changes in the design can be
made readily by the architect, or the
contractor, if he be an experienced
and capable one. Whichever method
is used it is well to consult an archi-
tect the contractor and the material
dealer before the material to be used
is finally decided on. These mep have
had long experience in building; are
familiar with the costs of materials
