be of great help to the prospective
home builder. They know what is best
in home design and construction ana
what should be avoided so that the
home will cost as little as possible.
This fall is time when everyone
who possibly can should build homes
of their own. Rents everywhere are
again being raised this fall, and there
seems to be certainty that another
increase will be put into effect by the
property owners next spring. Homes
are scarce and like everything else In
a like condition bring high prices,
either at sale or in rents. Tie home
owner is secure in the knowledge that
he is his own landlord snd that he and
his family have comfortable, conve''-

Arabs with the Ishmaeites, those des-

whose hands were to be against every
man and every mans hands against
them. but the Arabs and kindred
tribes, Bedouins or however named,
have fulfilled the prophecy until now.
They have dwelt in the presence OF
their brethren for some thousands or
years, plundering them with perpetual
incursions and finding in their desert
sands a fortress and sure refuge from
pursuit. Only by the laborious eX-
pedent of building railroad into their

was this mode of fighting them tried.

BEAUTY CHATS
REMOVING. BLEMISHES
by Edna Kent Forbes

FINDER the head of serious biem-
u ishes one should include such
things as large birthmarks, smallpox
marks, unsightly scars, powder ana
tattoo marks, and burns. All of these
are durable, but unfortunately. those
who are competent to cure them do
not always live in the smaller cities,
and so their services are lost to the
greater part of the country.
In a department like this 1t is i'm
possible to- tell a woman exactly how
she may overcome such blemishes.
Smallpox pits are removed by COW
ering the outer skin with a Lotto
which dries it up so 1t may be pain
lessly remOved-it peels off easily
leaving new. tender, unblemlshed
skin beneath. For time this skin
Is super-sensitive and needs especial
care. but such compilations are usu-
ally beautiful and delight TO the
women who have faced Disagreement
otherwise. Birthmarks are cured eth
er by a caustic or the electric peedle
treatment, the needle atrophying the
tiny veins causing the ugly scar, ana
allowing the normal skin to form.

Throated Loon lays two eggs in June
which are olive colored and covered
with little black spots, very tiny spots.
We Spend our winters in the United
States and then before the spring has
come we're on our way far up North
where there is cold weather.
1--WE like the Arctic ocean and you
know it's cold up there. When we
hear of folks going away for the sum
mer and going to what they consider
cool places we have to laugh. We hear
them talking about it in the winter
time.
"Yes, we have many cousins. There
is the black .tEroated loon, a relative
but he SD seldom comes to the United
States thut don't suppose you would
care especially to know about him as
you aren't apt to ever see him or meet
him.

as he is getting ready to fly for he
doesn't care for the land any more
than most Of us do.

front of him as though he wanted to
make sure his head would reach the
place he started out for first We all
have habits that are much alike you
see. And Mrs. Black-Throated Loon
lays two eggs also of olive color. But
let no one boast that they dlone change
their costumes in the winter and the
summer for we do the same and there
are quite a number OF other creatures
who do too.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"JAZZ."

T IKE many another word,
l. "jazz" has slipped into the
English-or rather, into the
American-language like the
mule of which Mark Twain
wrote that 1t was without
pride OF ancestry or hope of
p6Sterity."
Jazz is not a derived word.
1t was coined and, according to
Lieut.. James Reese-Europe, U.
s. A., who conducted one OF
the jazziest jazz bands, 1t owes
its origin to a man named Razz,
whose musical organization was
famous in New Orleans some
Is years ago. Razz is reputed
TO have been the first to realize
the harmony and appealing
quality which resides in saxo-
phones, trombones, snare drums
and the like, when played with
snap and dash. SO he spe-
ciallzed in this kind of synco-
mated music and his fame
spread throughout the South,
imitators springing up in varl-
GUS sections. One Of these
which toured Missouri and the
middle West, styled itself the
"Jass-band"-slightly altering
the name of the original lead
err. In the course of a year or
so the final ass" were changed
to "z's." Jazz-bands made their
appearance from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and Jazz slipped
into the language and even into
the dictionaries.
