AnaIvzinu Waste Food.

America leads all other nations in
Analysing the value of the foods we
eat and the best way to make them
nourish us. Scientists have found that
we often get little of the real value
of our foods so that a great deal goes
to waste. 1t is exactly as if we took
just one squeeze out of a juicy orange
and then threw it away. The new sci
.ence has been developed largely since
the outbreak of the war. Many inter-
esting experiments have been carried
on in Teachers college in New York
which are being watched by scientists
all over the world Some tests are
made with white rats, others with hui
man beings. The war department
has utilized this information in fix
ing the rations for our soldiers. In q
few years people will look back upon
our wasteful, Unscientific habits of to-
day with amazement. Boys Life.

WILLING TO GO HALF WAY
Little Jimny's Answer to Leading
Question Distinctly in Nature Of
Compromise.

Aunt Marie was very good, indeed,
to her f1ve-year-old nephew James.
She gave him everything his little
heart desired. But still she was often
inclined to tease him and whenever
he showed resentment she leased him
still further by threatening to take
away something she had given him.
The other night she began her
usual teasing, taking for the subject
herself and her charms. "Why, Jim
ME thinks I'm a wonder" and she
turned to little James provokingly and
asked: Don't you think I'm pretty?
Don't you think I'm good?'
The little fellow was disturbed He
wanted to tell the truth, and he also
wanted to keep auntie's favor.
Finally he found his tongue. well,
/ do fink you're pretty good" he said
truthfully.

For years American home builders
have been erecting square franz
houses containing six or seven rooms.
Not only is this type OF house popular
with home builders, but with invest
ment builders and real estate men.
IN arrangement of rooms. all of this
type are very much alike. However,
l'y different treatments of the exterior
they are made to look very dissimilar
and rows of them in real estate sub
divisions present an attractive APP
pearance
The value Of this type of house to
the home builder is that it not only
makes comfortable and convenient
home, but, should occasion arise, it is
readily saleable, for the simple reason
it will suit the needs and purses of
the greatest number of buyers.
Herewith is shown standard

room is pleasant and conveniently To-
Gated.
Scarcity of homes everywhere has
brought forcibly to the attention of
thousands of families the advantage
of building a home. Building costs
have advanced less than almost any
other Of the necessities. And, as more
than so per cent of the cost of build
ing q home is labor cost, there is
not probability that it will decline nn-
til wages are lowered, contingency
wage earners do not welcome. But
when it is considered that rents now
adays are based on the present cost
of building and not on what the actual
cost Of the building was. when it was
erected, it is just as logical to build
now as it was before the war.
Owning such a home as is pictured,
or house of some other good design
is a most excellent investment, even
though building costs have advanced
with every other cost. BY obligating
himself to pay for a home, a head of a.
family is saving Systematically and in
a few years will have an asset that is
worth while. Real estate always is
accepted as security for a loan, and,
just now can be sold easily. BY the
payment of a part of the cost down
and the balance in monthly payments
the owners equity in the property
steadily increases. But building
home provides a great incentive to
save. and the home is rapidly paid for.
But aside from the standpoint of
saving and accommodating money, the
investment in home brings large div
idends in contentment and satisfac-
ton. A home owner always is a good
citizen and a substantial member of
the community in which he lives He
and his family have social opportuni-
ties that do not come to the man who
rents. Also he is looked on as more
desirable employee or partner in bust
ness than the man who rents.
Considered from every angle home
building is well worth the many small
sacrifices required of the average fam
lily to secure a home Of their own.
The quicker the start is made the bet
ter.

Lace That Grows.

In the West Indies dresses are
often worn made from the natural
Iace-like cloth which grows upon trees.
The tree from which the lace is gath
cred has a curiously light hollow
trunk something like bamboo. A long
smooth section is cut and soaked in
water until the bark is softened. The
lacelike cloth is closely packed togeta-
er, forming the shell of the tree. When
carefully pulled apart lacelike fiber
is found which is surprisingly toua'l
and durable. BY placing several thick
nesses together comparatively thick
cloth is formed. These pieces are
sewn together like any ordinary cloth
and made into dresses. The lace is
light yellow in color naturally. but is
often dyed with the bright coiors so
popular in the tropics.-Boys' Life.

History of Petroleum Industry.

The story Of the petroleum industry
In the United States dates back to
1859. when, on August %, oil was
struck in the Drake well, near Titus
vile, in northwestern Pennsylvania.
When the pumping began the oil
flowed in tiny stream of 40, and later
only Is, barrels a day; 100000 bar
rels were produced in 1870, 26,00O,OO0
in 1880, 100000 in 1890, 63,0OOO0O
in 1900, 2O9,OOO,OOO in 1910 and $780,
100000 barrels in 1913. The output
last year is perhaps 100000 barrels

British silver Currency.

Owing to the rise in the price of sill
yer, the British government finds it
impossible to mint silver coins except
at a great loss. so it plans to reduce
the fneness. Silver, which before the
war cost less than 80 pence an ounce,
now costs about IS pence Respective
" 5000 and $1.76). The British money
has been O925 fine; it is purposed to
make it 0.5O0 fine in the future. With
silver at present prices, the intrinsic
value of shilling $500 fine will be
