LTowR? #JfCLP5 PAYS TO HAVE SHADE TREES Their Worth to the Owner? of Prop? ' orly Can Be Shown In Actual Dollar? and Cent?. If a real estate dealer tells you that the house or building lot you are think ing ?f 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, tor it has Hately been discovered that the right kind of trees do increase the Talue 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 ing in front of it A fair average of the answers held that trees would ?Improve the value of the adjoining land 40 per cent. Expert tree appraisers say that a shade tree in good condition and well placed Is worth $1 per square inch of cross-section measured at breast "height At that rate, a tree one foot In diameter is worth $113, while a tree 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 .-outs a foot. The land value worth $2"> a foot. The land value is is $1.250. !f the trees are spaced 50 feet apart on the street there would be one tree in front of the property. The tree is two feet in diameter and worth $452, which would increase thc value of the lot 36 per cent. ROLES FOR THE GOOD CITIZEN Ten Commandments Formulated by Mrs. Moses L. Purvln of the Chicase Woman's Aid. ^^.l.Thou shalt honor thy city and keep its laws. 2. Remember thy cleaning day and keep it wholly. 3. Thou shalt love and cherish they children and provide for them decent bornes and playgrounds. 4. Thou sh?.lt not keep thy windows closed day or night. 5.

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, Howers that are growing as na ture planned them, and that are quite as 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 soon, 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 thia. 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 stars now and then. See Amer ica first? Surely, that's a fine deter mination. But see your own country -side 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 oublie incinerators or catch-all fur naces in the alleys back of Its business blocks. Four of these, paid for by an assessment levied on the merchants, have not only solved the rubbish prob lem, but have reduced the langer of fire from promiscuous bonfires. The furnaces are built ot brick and do not need watching while a fire i 9 burning inside. They are four feet high with a chimney portion extending one foot above the main furnace Rubbish to l>e burned io dumped into the furnace through a 27-inch hole, covered with a two-inch wire screen, in the top. A good draft is secured by a draft hole at the bottom, and the chiminey flue is covered with a wire screen. The chief advantages of the furnaces are that they are always ready for use and are perfectly safe. Some Forms of Rheumatism Curable. Rheumatism is a disease charac terized by pains in the joints and in the muscles. The most common forms are: Acute . and Chronic Rheumatism, Rheumatic Headaches, Sciatic Rheumatism and Lumbago. All of these types can be helped absolutely by applying some good liniment that penetrates. An ap plication of Sloan's Liniment two or three times a day to the affected part will give instant relief. Sloan's Liniment is good for pain, and es pecially Rheumatic Pain, because it penetrates to the seat of the trouble, soothes the afflicted part and draws the pain. "Sloan's Liniment is all medicine."
