STOP BURNING UP HOMES

The housing problem is one of the
great issues of the day, All unneces-
sary construction was forbidden dur
ing the war, and now that the restric-
tions have been withdrawn the high
prices Of materials and labor and in
dustrial troubles have tended to re-
duce the amount of building. In many
industrial centers newcomers are un-
able to get houses to live in, rents
have gone up, and the situation has
become so serious that state and mu-

SENTIMENT WORTH NOTHING

A farmer near Memo, S. d, held an
auction last week and one of the arti-
cles sold was a baby crib which
brought $7.75. 1t was home made %
years ago and cost 1925. Eleven chill
dren of the family graduated from the
crib, and several of the grandchildren
have fallen asleep in it,
Yes, ht received $775, probably
800 more than it really was worth
intrinscally, but had it no senti-
mental value to the owner that would
forbid putting 1t up at auction for
the sake Of few dollars? For TWEEN
ty-six years it had been in the home;
eleven children of that home and sew
eral of their children had slept, and
cooed or fretted within its shelter dur.
ing their helpless days of infancy.
What memories Of hopes and fears of
quarter century might crowd into
the minds of the loving father or
mother as they looked upon the home
ly, SCARED and worn baby crib; mem
ories of priceless value to one in
whose soul sentiment finds any place,
What must have been their thoughts
as they saw 1t exposed to the thought
less bandying of an auction crowd to
whom the crib was nothing but piece
of almost worthless old furniture.
This is a ''proctical age" and in busi-
ness, perhaps, there is no room for
sentiment, but is the home and tho
family and everything connected with
these to be ruthlessly sacrificed on the
altar of practical utility?

This Medicine Recommended by a Doctor

When a doctor uses q medicine him
self besides prescribing it to his patients,
he must know that it has merit.
This is what DR.. J. ii. Wagner, prom
lnent physician OF Skate, Kentucky. has
to say about DIR. Hartman's wcll-known
remedy, PE-RU-NA: 81 have used Pc
RU-NA myself for catarrh and have
given 1t to others for catarrh, boating
after eating and other ailments. 1t has
proved success in all cases with old
and young men and women. All speak
we'll Of PE-RU-NA. 1t is the best of all
tonics.''
DR.. Wagner, out OF the fullncss of his
own personal experience. for the good Of
all sick and suffering, recommends a
medicine which he knows to be good.
You may be sure a doctor would not en-
danger his professional reputation by
endorsing PE-RU-NA unless satisfied be-
yond doubt OF its value.
Whether your trouble be a cough or a
cold. or more subtle catarrhal Erection

A GREAT RECORD.

Having recognized the independence
of Ireland and told congress
how to proceed in getting the new
republic" well launched. the New
Jersey legislature. in its profound
wisdom, now takes up the grave and
serious question of having a formal
peace declared between the United
States and Germany. A resolution
was passed by the assembly Monday
night giving congress definite instruc-
lions on hat matter. Now, if the
New Jersey solons will only tackle
the Adriatlc affair and the problem of
driving the Bolsheviki out of Russia
It will have done fairly well for one
session. 1t is to be noted, however,
that even with all these weighty mat
ters of worldwide importance to be
considered, none OF the strictly local
measures tending to increase salaries,
extend debt limits and otherwise
boost taxes have been overlooked.
Truly. the HATH legislature has made
a great record for itself.

THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.

We commend Mayor Dorsey's stand
in opposition to the resolution passed
by the water board to discontinue the
practice of giving water free to re-
ligious and charitable institutions.
Likewise we commend the same atti-
tude taken by Commissioner c. c.
Baldwin in regard to the matter.
These officials have sensed true public
opinion. The small amount of money
that the water department would re-
ceive by placing this additional bur-
den on local institutions that are do
ing so much for the city would not
be of any material financial assistance
to the board In the big projects it
has on hand, but it means q great
deal to those affected.
The reservoir Is going to be of great
advantage to the people of the city
and we believe there would be no OBJ
lection to a slight increased in water
rates to help pay for it. But there is
no desire to be ~picayune In the matter
| of deserving institutions. 1t is to be
hoped the water board will see the
situation in the right light and rescind
the action taken at its last meeting.

TOMORROW"

Yes, the bridge will eventually be
opened. At first it was to take ten
days to repair the damage, but If the
contractors and officials who named
that time thought they were foolins
anybody they were mistaken. The
general supposition was that it would
be nearer ten weeks than ten days be-
fore the repair works were completed.
Now we are being fed daily with
the promise of tomorrow" OF course,
If we keep on putting enough to
morrows'' together we will eventually
arrive at the right date. In the mean
time the first ten days have long since
passed and tho weeks are rolling by.
True. the work is being rushed
might and day. but it was nc small job
to tackle. The bridge Is going to
be opened as quickly as possible, but
we hardly look for traffic to be re-
lsumed Tomorrow"
