Pure Air Vital.

People grow old and die fast enough
In the purest of air. A smoke-laden
atmosphere strikes years from the cal
endar of the average life. Yet the
average person does not know It, and
goes as complacently to an earlier
death as do the cattle to the slaugh-
ter pen.
The air of every city can be made
pure by being kept pure, and 1t Is the
function Of engineers to bring this
about. Not only is 1t their function
to keep city air pure, but II Is Pc
cuiarly their duty to arouse the pub
uc to authorize them to apply their
knowledge.

WINES GIVE FINISHING TOUCH
Hardly Too Much to Say That House
is Not Really Complete With.
out Green Growth.

No farmhouse Is complete unless II
has something green growing over the
porches or beside the doors. II you
happen to have q house of brick, stone,
or concrete, you can use a cllnglhs
vine, like the Virginia creeper, For
the northern states you had better use
Ampelopsis Engelmannll, which Is
particularly hardy, You can also use
Euonymus vegetus, remarkably me
climber, which takes the place in the
North Of the English ivy, the latter
vine not being hardy. 1t keeps It's
green leaves all winter, and when wen
grown produces large number OF at
tractlve berries resembling bitter
sweet. When you have wooden house
you can make choice among many dl''
ferent vines, like bitter sweet, CIe-
mats paniculata, Halls honeysuckle'
Akehia, Dutchman's pipe, ana Vaf''
Gus roses. Indeed, some of the CLIMB
Ing roses are almost Indispensable
This does not necessarily mean the
old-fashioned Red Rambler, tor some
of the newer sorts are cleaner ann
better. Among the good hardy kinds
are Excelsa, American Pillar-one OF
the finest of all; Dorothy Perkins,
Lady Gay, Transmission and Aylateur
Blelrot,
Now that peace Is returned there IA
notable tendency to grow more f1ow'
ers and Towering plants. This means
that a great amount of planting will
be done, and 1t should mean the I'M
provement of country homes every
where throughout the country.

Home Means Everything.

Home Is where tire idealism Of the
race Is nurtured. 1t Is such 4 place
that endears the soil to the man who
lives upon 1t. 1t is a strong bond
which links him to the community. It
deepenS and makes sweeter the whole
family life, and 1t forms a background
Of pleasant memory for his children
which will endure. m
