 One interesting chapter of Con stantine's life is tho way in which he became the peoples idol. After

TAKE TIME TO INVESTIGATE
No Reason Why Buyer Of House
Should Judge Value Only by
Its Appearance.

Most people buy houses in the man
automobile. They purchase almost
wholly on outward appearances, so
far as the physical condition OF the
property is concerned. Paint, varnish
and newness sell many houses. Very
few purchasers concern themselves
with the invisible construction Of a
house or with external evidence of the
nature of the internal work. Yet
what is not seen largely determines
the future value of the property, the
cost of upkeep and the satisfaction of
the owner The passing years in
evitably reveal the true nature of the
construction.
Yet 1t is not difficult for home
buyer to find out whether the house
is of proper and suitable materials
and correct methods of construction
says an experienced builder. The best
way, of course, is to have the house
inspected by some competent person,
but there are certain fundamentals
which anyone may apply for himself
with the probability of being guided
to a correct determination of the in
trinsic value of house. Nobody
wants to buy house that will soon
develop cracked plaster, sagging
doors, jamming windows, floors that
spring and crack, unsightly open
joints in woodwork and spaces be-
tween castings, Dashboard and doors;
leaky roofs, unsightly, sagging
porches, and leaky or splitting cutters,
swayback gables, etc.

CoRELESs APPLE DISCOVERED
Variety of Fameuse Fruit Shown at
Fruit Growers Meeting
at Montreal.

Montreal, Que.-Much enthusiasm
was evoked at the fall meeting of the
Pathological and Fruit Growing so
ciety of the province of Quebec by
the announcement of the discovery at
Abbotsford of a seedless and coreless
variety of the Fameuse apple. Prof.
f. G. Sears of the Massachusetts, Col
lege of Agriculture, who was present,
examined every essential detail. He
said that if it could be produced 1t
would prove of great value.
The seedless apple was discovered
by accident and the exhibitor had no
idea it was developed. He believes,
however, that the variety could be
perpetuated by CRAFTS.
