IMPROVING THE HOME YARD
Low-Growine Shrubs at Walk inter-
sections and Corners Of the Lot
p, Should Be Provided.

A well-planted home yard with
shade trees, Towering shrubs and per
ennial flowers surely is more valuable,
and more enjoyable than barren, TN
slightly yard Of weeds, ashes, tin cans
and rubbish. Perhaps the principal
reason why we find so many poorly I'M
proved home yards is becauset q
lack Of knowledge along these lines Is
everywhere apparent.
A well-planted home yard should
provide for the following ornamental
features: The yard should be Joined
to the street by the planting of low
growing shrubs at the walk intersec-
lions and at the corners Of the lot
along the sidewalk.
These should all be low-growing
shrubs such as Thunberg berries. snow
berries, Japan ounce, rosa rugosa and
golden bell. These when planted In
groups, from three to five feet apart,
will give an informal treatment, and
where every home along the street
is planted in this way, the entire
street is given boulevard appearance.
If a formal effect is desired along
the sidewalk, the treatment calls for
the planting of hedge. For this pur-
pose the Ibota prlvet, white mulberry,
Thunderborg barberry or honeysuckle
marraiwii should be used.

Productive Characterization.

Any back yard at all can be made
both attractive and productive.
Grapevines make a good porch trG-
lis when space is not available for an
arbor. A high fence or back porch
may be used as trellis for blackberry
plants. In a decorative border few
clumps of the brilliant red giant rhu-
barb will not look out of place. AS
for hedges which will be both decOra-
tive and highly productive, no plants
of a useful variety will be more sat
isfactory than raspberries, gooseber-
ries and currants. They are hardy,
will take little care and will supply
fruit for each season.

there is a market on the broad quay
at the end of the esplanade; fish,

Oregon apples, which contrive, in spite
of distance and almost prohibitive
rates of exchange, to cross the six-

Army Treatment
of Tuberculosis

dDIe IN THIS INSTITUTION Tor the treat
ment of tuberculosis.
The surgeon generals office has
taken great pride in this hospital and
has been most energetic in the en-
deavor to have everything at the top
notch of efficiency. The success
achieved has amply demonstrated
what can be done by skill and devo-
ton.
When the hospital was built in the
fall of 1917 a Western specialist in tu-
berculOsis was installed. He re-
tired and returned to private work,
and was succeeded by Col. William c.
Lyster, regular army man of more
than twenty years service. He had
held very responsible posts in England
and France and had been decorated by
King George with the Order of st. Mi
chael and st. George. Prior to the
war he was known to army men as
the inventor of the Lyster water bag
for the use of troops in the field.
which is always used when fresh wa
ter is unobtainable.
Many difficulties in the way of pro-
viding an ideal treatment for the tu-
berculous were encountered at first.
One Of the most apparent was the
amount of money allowed for the daily
ration. The war department allowed
but "a cents, an amount experts say
is totally inadequate to provide the
proper kind and quality Of food re-
quired by tuberculous patients. It is
to be remembered, of course. that
proper feeding is one of the mainstays
of treatment in this disease.
Not Enough Money for Food
Colonel LISTERS representations to
the war department resulted in tenn
pOrarily raising the ration money from
"a cents to 81, but this was reduced
later to SO cents.
The method of treatment followed
at Oteen is that advocated by Colonel
Bushnell, a contemporary of the late
DR.. Edward Trudeau of Saranac Lake,
n. Y. The course is subdivided thus:
Complete rest in bed, partial rest in
bed, and rest by every patient from 1
to 8 in the afternoon. In addition, the
patients get good wholesome food and
plenty Of fresh air.
Serums and vaccines are not en-
ployed. Artificial pneumothorax Chat
is, cutting into the pleural cavity so
that air can enter and exert pressure
on the Iung) is only resorted to in
cases of severe, continued hem
orrhage.
The bed linen is changed daily to
prevent reinfectiOn; the sputum cups
are changed twice daily, and everyone
must have lights out by 10 p. m.
The X-ray diagnostic laboratory is
one of the best in the country. Maj.
John McRae, who has a fine reputa-
ton in this field, is radiologist. Each
patient is photographed upon admis-
sion and again every month or two, to
note improvement or retrogressfon.
There is also an excellent chemical
laboratory.
Four dental surgeons are constantly
busy seeing to it that the teeth Of the
patients are kept in good condition.
The hospital buildings and grounds
are kept spOtlessly clean, and the evil
dences of perfect sanitation are OBJ
servable everywhere.
Colonel Lyster had the officers
ward turned over to the very sick en-
listed men, all bed patients. There |

THIS MAY BRING
ABOUT SLUMP IN
LAW BUSINESS

/ Chicago, July 3O.-Avoidance of
business law suits in favor of arbitra-
ton is urged on local business men
by the Chicago Association of Com
merce. This association has arranged
for commercial arbitration under the
state law and has designated a COM
mittee to promote it. In an address
ITO business men the committee says
of its work:
/, "If you have any commercial dis
putes in your business, you can avoid
the many disadvantages of court ac-
ton by using the facilities of the
Chicago Association of Commerce
for commercial arbitration. You will
thus obviate undesirable publicity, de-
lay, expense, enmity and the danger
of having your matter determined by
a jury unfamiliar, with your line.
AN Illinois statute on arbitration
and awards provides for commercial
trade courts. The rules of the Chica-
go Association of Commerce for the
conduct of arbitrations, under this
statute, have been approved by the
Superior Court of Cook County and
by the municipal court of the city of
Chicago.
Commercial arbitration combines
an ideal method of determining ques-
tions of fact with a standard proce-
dure for deciding points of law. 1t
does not involve any surrender or I'M
pairment of legal rights but provides
for the determination of facts before
an arbitrator having ample power
and competence and if points of law
arise in the evidence these alone are
submitted to a court. That necessity
seldom arises.
Arbitration is mutual and volun-
tary and may be conducted either with
Or without legal counsel, as agreed
Controversies in the Chicago Board of
Trade and in the Building Contract
ors' Association of Chicago are sat
isfactorily concluded by arbitration.

mess have been settled in this man.
ner during the last two years. In
England, "a per cent. of all CONNER
cial disputes-domestic, import and
export-are settled by arbitration.
THE Chicago Association of Com
merce is urging the use of CONNER
cial arbitration of commercial
trade courts for the benefit of its
members and in the public interest
of the city as n whole. During the
year 1919 there were $4,000 civil cases
filed in the municipal courts of Chi
cago, to say nothing of the county
Soui 10 IhIlih VI Inc pubic economy
and the avoidance of costly delays
if the majority of these cases were
disposed of elsewhere in simple
way.
The association will arrange for
arbitration in any case on request
will supply forms of submission to
arbitration with the law printed on
the back of the form. will furnish
copies of it's rules for arbitration and
in many lines of business is prepared
to suggest the names of arbitrator
expertly qualified in their respective
fields.
In order to provide for arbitration
the association submits standard
clauses agreeing to arbitrate in cas-.
of dispute, such clauses to be insert
ed in contracts and in application
for credit
