Sanitation Progress
Wonderful Boon to
Living in Country
Prejudice Against the Con.
ditions in Rural Sec

by Disposal System
By Paul Scott

Kdustine System of Sanitation
When the city man begins to think
about living in the country he natur-
ally thinks of cesspools and other old
countryside contrivances for sewers.
1t is likely to influence him against
doing just what he should do and what
he wants to do unless he knows that
ccsspools and the other rural sub
stitutes for sewers have long since
disappeared from the suburbs. Science
md engineers have solved the problem
for the suburban home dweler. He
lives now in as good sanitary condi-
tions as his city friend, his health and
the health of his family are just as
secure rs if his home and the home
Of his neighbors were served by great
sewer mains, such as those of the big
city.
Sewage disposal systems have been
perfected, which do more than carry
the water away as does a city sewer;
they transform waste and filth into
water free of germs. The systems are
foolproof, for they have been well
tested and have proved to be among
the greatest boons to living in the
country.
Folks who have refused to locate in
a country section not served By a sewer
aye not opposed to country life since
these systems Of disposal have been
developed to such high degree. Re-
ports from the surburbs indicate q
steady drift away from the city, which
shows that fears Of discomfort and
insanitary conditions have long since
rassed away. The system makes it pos
sble for every home to be perfectly
sanitary

Always ON Watch
For Home Comfort
Unobtrusive but Interesting
Wall Device ON Duty Day
and Night; Takes Edge OFF
Gold in EARLY Morning
BY c. O. Barring

Minneapolis Heat Regulator Co.
Nearly one-half of the coal used in
heating private houses is wasted. and
many homes that are so cold much of
the time that they are uncomfortable
could be made evenly warm and cozy
at no greater expenditure for coal
More money is spent trying to cure
houses than it would cost to equip
many entire cities with heat regula.
tors. Economy, comfort and health are
the principal factors behind the little
device that acts as Waterman over the
home heating plant.
Heat regulating is not fad nor an
experiment, and the heat regulator long
ago was granted recognition as a vital
facotr in the modern, well-squipped
efficient home. To those who do not
know it the regulator may sound like
another device to make more work for
the housckeepcr or owncn while, quite
to the contrary, it is one Of the most
practical labor-saving devices that has
helped to make the pleasure of indi-
vidual home ownership complete.
1t is the purpose Of the heat rcgu-
lator to take charge of the heating Of
homo to such an extent that it looks
after everything except putting on coal
and removing ashes. 1t opens and
closes hampers and starts and stops
drafts, and it does so without any
consciousness OIL the part Of those who
occupy the house. All that the house
holder knows Is that somewhere in his
house, probably in the living room, is a
device attached to the wall which to
outward Appearances consists OF Their
mometer surmounting g small clock.
BY the mere turn Of thumbscrew the
device may be set to call for given
degree Of heat, and from then OH the
regulator by its control of hampers and
drafts holds the heat at the desired
tempe nature.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of heat regulators is their ability TO
arrange for warm rooms on chilly
mornings after the furnace fire has
been banked all night and the tenn
peraturc of the house lowered.
Comfort like this is obtained merely
by another turn Of the thumbscrew
which puts UP to the regulator the ia SIX
Of opening hampers and drafts at
the desired hour in the morning and
of keeping them open until the required
degree of heat is reached.
1t has been estimated that n heat
regulator will earn its cost in coal saw
ing alone during the course Of an aver

Story of Man Who
Deserted Realty
For Wall Street
Demanded Mortgage Be Paid
in Gold, Then Raced Into
''Street" TO Lend 1t or
Call; Broke 80 Days Later

Justice John Clark Knox was with
one of the title companies just before
the panic of 1907, when a man came
in and demanded his mortgage. which
was due, be paid him in gold. At the
time gold was high, because call money
was away up, and folks in Wall Street
were offering fabulous return for the
use OF money for month or longer.
well, l don't know whether we can
give you gold" answered Judge Knox.
But it says gold muse be paid. I in
sisted at the time | gave tlAs money
that gold SHOULD be given me in re-
payment" insisted the mortgagor.
The head of the company said that
the man would have gold, and it was
secured at q cost Of $500.
Gloating over his business wisdom
the mortgagor took his bag of gold,
planning to come into Wall Street the
next day and make it bring him some
more money.
Morning Wealth Dwindles Overnight
Overnight the financial horizon
cleared. The big men In the Street
and the Federal authorities, realizing
what would happen if the financial
cataclysm was not stopped relieved
the situation by pouring money
into the Street, and terrible period
in the business life of the country
was averted. Call money dropped
before the man who had taken
i his capital out of real estate had got
to the Street. Gold also lost its
worth. Overnight his wealth dwindled
and ne was helpless to save it. He
located finally man who needed
money to bolster up business which
was never too strong financially. Big
interest was offered for the use of the
money for sixty days, and the deserter
from real estate grasped it like a
hungry man gTasps for food. He was
given securities, to be sure, but at
times like those the value of securities
Is very liquid and disappears quickly
tor no good reason.
Everything Lost in Sixty Days
Within a month after the money
taken from real estate had been placed
IN Wall Street the concern had failed
and the Investment was practically
lost.
There is a moral in this story which
is not hard to discover-risks are
greatest in other fields than real
estate.

Wibble-W abble Period
On Heights History Now

The up and down stage in the real
estate history of Washington Heights
has passed. Booms and counter booms
have given way to y steady forward
movement in this section of the city,
which many will remember was, only
few years back. the graveyard of
many real estate hopes. In view of
the old real estate days on Washing
ton Heights it is interesting to note
what Norman Denzer HAS to say about
his Washington Heights in answer to
a question from member OF the
Building Managers and Owners Associ-
alton. He said:
"Storcs on Broadway have rented re-
Gently at $500 per front foot for cor
ner stores 100 feet deep, and $500 per
front foot for inside stores. This IS
good showing in comparison with
other locations, and looking back some
years on Washington Heights rentals,
it is quite an improvement.
Il noted recently that some tenants
are again asking for free rent, so you
can see that tenants have not forgot
ten the rosy days before the war when
they had rental concessions.
Steam shovels and drillers are again
working; rocks and debris are flying
in the neighbor.ng windows and there
is some building started"
