A CITY OF HOMES

1t is Columbia's prOudest boast that
she is the city of schools and homes.
The first is still true but the second
is rapidly becoming less so.
The growth of the schools and the
town has brought with it an over
crowding of the dwellings. The
poorer quarter of the city is taking
on the appearance of slums. and in
a community such as this it is inexcus-
able that there should be any lack OF
elbow room. In spite of the high cost
Oe building material and labor there
have been several buildings just COM
pleted and more are in the process OF
becoming. Why can there not be
corresponding increase in the number
of residences? They are far more
urgently needed.
A little crowding in the class room
is better than a good deal of conges-
tion in the home. Columbia has contri-
buted literally to the buildings which
are to house the children of strangers.
It is time to have as much considera-
ton for her own sons and daughters.
The hand that rocks the cradle may
rock the boat in the coming election.
Presidential campaigns in Mexico
are major offensives.

quoting his father. Here is an anec-
dote of the senior Rockefeller he re-
lated to eXemplfy the point that if the
mountain would not come to Mahomct
Mahomct must 60 to the mountain:
MY father likes to tell the story O.
a farmer who met another farmer, both
OF them driving in a narrow country
road in the deep snow of winter. The
track was only broken in the center of
the road, so that turning out was diff
ficult. When the two met the farmer
said, with clustering manner: IF you
don't turn out for me I'll do to you what
! did to the last man met who
wouldn't turn out for me-
Much alarmed, the second farmer
promptly pulled out in the deep snow to
let his belligerent neighbor pass. When
he was back in the road again he turn
ed and said to the first farmer: Tell
me, neiehbor, what did you do to the
man who wouldn't turn out for you?'

PeptO-Mangan Builds Red Blood.
The Happy Family Is the One Where
Everybody Has Red BlOOded Health.

Children should not be pale and
wan. Women should not be tired,
weak and blue. Young girls should
not be salIow, listless and anemic. Men
should not feel rundown and poorly.
Poor health and lack of vitality are
often merely the result of impoverish-
ed blood.
Guides Pepto-Mangan is for people
whose bodies suffer from lack OF
proper blood nourishmcnt. Pepto-
Mangan enriches the blood and in
crea.es the number of healthy red
blood cells, which are so necessary 10

BUSINESS, and strength to every part Of
the body.
1t contains the very properties that
are so sorely needed to build up thin,

Red Blood Builder.

is prepared in two forms, liquid and
tablet. Both contains exactly the same
medicinal value.

The Scientific American says that
the suspension bridge over the Snake
River near Twin Falls in southern
Idaho is the highest in America, if not
in the world. The actual measurement
is three hundred and forty-fve feet
from the floor of the bridge to the
stream, and the length of the span is
six hundred and eighty-e eight feet.
Aside from its extreme height, the
bridge is of interest because, although
materials had to be hauled great dis
lance, the structure was completed in
four months.

How They Cured Him.

Tie vas a good horse, sound in wind
and limb. His speed and appearance
made him valuable TO Mr.. Andrews,
the proprietor of a livery stable, who
had bought him at a remarkably low
inquire. He was about seven wears
old, ana gave promise of long service.
Only one thing subtracted from his
value and detracted from his rcputa-
ton.
He refused to be hitched TO a post or
fastened by n halter. Nothing woult

to break the rope, or his neck. by ,ne
most violent pulling, rearing and

equine madness should be cured. and
the village wiseacreS set their wits M
work upon the problem.
One morning in July the propricto,

blacksmith and the roam horse. ap

the road was wide, the turf soft. and
the slope toward the water gentle. The
blacksmith was armed with an iron
crowhar, and the butcher with his
longest, SharpcSt knife Mr.. Andrews
led the horse by half-inch rope. All
the idle men and boys about the main
street hurried 10 the scene.
The bar was driven deep into the
soil, about fifteen feet from the canal.
then the horse was tied fast to the bar
by the slender rope, his head toward the
village and his tail toward the bank.
The roam stood for a few moments
with his ears forward, manifcstinr n

on. The butcher houriShcd the knife
before his eyes, and he started back
and felt the tug of the rope on his
neck. Then all his equineire was
aroused, and he settled back with q
fierce jerk.

butcher suddenly drew the keen edge
OF his knife across the frightened
