DETROIT TENANTS FLEE

Ing that tenants are moving to the

parrot or birds.
Visitors allowed to remain only
until 10 p. m.
No music or noise after 10 o'clock.
Families may entertain only two
visitors at a time.
Not even a handkerchief may be
hung on the clothes line on Sunday,

porch prohibited.
A limit of two weeks is placed on
all visits from friends and relatives

After laying down these blue laws"
the landlord asked an increase of 40
per cent in rent. Is there any wonder
that there are apartment vacancies in
Detroit?

The Washington times., 1920-10-09

Is extravagant- II IL not a cure for
the housing shortage. but sort of
quack remedy. No city that aims to
grow along constructive lines should
be ciuttered with cheap dwellings,
which are easier to put up then to
tear down when the need for them has
passed. The aim of any forward
looking community is to improve as
much as possible each year the sound
ness and the appearance of its busi-
ness structures and its homes. No
city can build too well nor too care
fully, with an eye to beauty as we'll
as utility, IL it's aim is progress of a
stable and enduring quality.

CHEAP HOUSE IDEA Is
CALLED SHORTSICHTED

One of the most common Of the
many suggestions being advanced as
solution of the housing problem is
to build cheap houses in quantity to
serve the needs of the hour. How
shortsighted this policy is ought to be
clearly apparent, yet supposedly in
telligent persons are advocating II
and even suggesting that public
moneys be voted for the purpose.

out, to build merely for the present

Weak, thin people-men or womSn-

conclusiveFy proving that thinness,
weakness debility and neurasthenia are
almost invariably due to nerve starva-
ton. Feed your nerves and all these
symptoms due to nerve starvation viii
disappear.
Eminent specialists state that one OF
the best things for the nerves is an
organic phosphate known among drug
gists as Bitro- Phosphate. a five grain
tablet of which should be taken with
each meal. Being genuine nerve
builder and not a stimulant or habit
forming drug, Bitro-Phosphate can be
safely taken by the weakest and most
delicate sufferer. and the results fol-
lowing its use are often simply aston
lshing.
BY streng- hening the nerves, weak,
tired people regain energy and vigor;
.hinness and angularity give way to
plumpness and curves; sleep returns to
the sleepness; confidence and cheerful
ness replace debility and gloom; duh
eyes become bright. and pale. sunken
cheeks regain the pink glow of health

much so, that many people report

on flesh, should use extra care in avoid

and faded hair is grandmother's recipe.
and folks are again using it TO keep ther
hair a good, even color, which is quite
sensible. we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays. though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage

stores sell the ready to use product, i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dients called .'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound 1t is very popular beca use
nobody can discover it has been applied.
Simply moisten your comb or a soft
brush with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a time;
by morning the gray hair disappears but
what delights the ladies' with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair after
a few applications, il also produces that
soft lustre and appearance of abundance
which is so attractive.-Adv.
