ftOME(? TOWN HELPS PAYS TO HAVE SHADE TREES Their Worth to the Owner* of Prop ' erty Can Be Shown In Actual Dollars and Cents. If a real estate dea ler tells you that the house or building lot you are think ing of buying is worth several hun .dred dollars more because it is well supplied with shade trees, don't be too sure that he is trying to take Advantage of you until you have .counted and measured the trees. Very -probably he may be telling the truth, for it has lately been discovered that the right kind of tree3 do increase the .value of a piece of real estate. In order to determine the value of trees in residential districts the Mas sachusetts Forestry association re cently sought the advice of a number of practical real estate men. These men were asked this question: "How much, In your judgment, do full-grown shade trees along the street improve the value of the adjoining land for .house lots?" The majority of answers ranged from 10 to 50 per cent, while some went so far as to' state that a house !lot would be worth 100 per cent more :if full-grown shade trees were stand ilng in front of it A fair average of 'the answers held that trees would (Improve the value of the adjoining latnd 40 per cent. Exhort tree appraisers say that a shade tree in good condition and well placed is worth $1 per square inch ol! cross-section measured at breast leight. At that rate, a tree one foot ?E. diameter ls worth $113, while a Tcree two feet in diameter is worth 1462. For the sake of illustration, sup pose that we take a good-sized house lot. 50 by 100, or 5,000 square feet, worth 25 c ?nts a foot. The land value worth $2". a foot. The land value ia ls $1,250. If the trees are spaced 50 feet apart on the street there would bo one tree in front of the property. Tile tree Is two feet in diameter and "worth $452, which would increase the vsJue of the lot 36 per cent. HULES FOR THE GOOD CITIZEN Ten Commandments Formulated by Mrs. Moses L.

In that patch of woods back of your home there are wonders beyond compare-wild things that would be neighborly if you'd let them, flowers that are growing as na ture planned them, and that are quite es beautiful as any so carefully tended In the greenhouses of your wealthy neighbor across the street. Go to a near by woodland (better still if it's a bit swamp) some twilight, socn, and listen to the evening songs of the feathered folk. You don't know what music you may have without price un til you've done this. Explore some of the little streams that meander through meadow and wood. Learn to name the birds and the flowers, clas sify the rocks and the soils-and look up to ?tars now and then. See Amer ica first? Surely, that's a fine deter mination. But see your own country ?ide even before you see the rest of the United States.-The Countryside .Magazine. Public Furnaces. A splendid way to keep the streets ?free from waste paper, rubbish, etc., has been established in Glendale, near Los Angeles, Cal. The city has built jpublic incinerators or catch-all fur naces in tbe alleys back of its business blocka. Four of these, paid for by an assessment levied on the merchants, Jxave not only solved the rubbish prob lem, but have reduced the danger of fire from promiscuous bonfires. The furnaces are built of brick and do not need watching while a fire is burning ins: de. They are four feet high with a chimney portion extending one foot above the main furnace Rubbish to te burned io dumped into the furnace through a 27-inch hole, covered with a two-inch wire screen, in the top. A ?jood draft is secured by a draft bola at the bottom, and. the chlminey flue: is covered with 8v wire screen. Tho chief advantages of the furnaces are that they are always ready for use and are perfectly ?aie. Some Forms of Rheumatism Curable.

The most common forms are: Acute . and Chroni Rheumatism, Rheumatic Headaches, Sciatic Rheumatism and Lumbago Ail of these types can be helped absolutely by applying some good liniment that penetrates.
