Announcement has just been made of the beginning of the erection of a “model home^’ for Clinton. Many cities have successfully planned a model home, with, a view to develop' ing interest in home building and modern home construction, but this is Clinton’s first effort. The prime idea of the model home, which will be erected on the corner of Walnut and Hickory avenues, in College View de velopment, will be to stimulate inter est in home building. Using the mo del home as the main feature of a program for 1925 embodying an “Own Your Own Home Campaign.” Clinton is behind in home construct ion. The building of homes has not kept pace with its institutional and highway growth. There has been for some time a shortage of homes in the city. Among the younger men in the city practically no building compara tively has been done within the past -eight or ten years. From the stand point of the growth of the town such a campaign is very desirable. ^Vith conditions not the best in the agricultural section surrounding Clin ton, the local merchants will be solely dependent upon manufacturing inter ests in the city this year, unless a home building campaign can stimulate an extra large circulation of money in the city in the building of homes. The construction of twenty new homes during the year 1925 in Clin ton would greatly increase the popu lation, rectify the housing difficulties in Cliqton, and would at the same time" turn -loose probably a hundred thous and dollars or mqre, a greater por- KEEPING WELL “COMMON COLDS” ARE TOO COMMON OR. FREDERICK R. GHEE* Editor of “HEALTH" “C o: lor tion of which would ip turn be spent with Clinton merchants. All of the building and loan associations and banks in the city are planning to get behind the home building campaign and urge the young men in the city to build their own homes, and it is likely that the endorsement of the Commercial club and Civic associa tion will likewise be requested. The model home which is now be ing built, embodies a number of pecu liar features. The merchants of the city will outfit it from beginning to end. When it is finished it will be completely»furnished and ready for occupancy. A week’s reception will then be held in which all of the people will be invited. Modern and except ional features used in the construct ion of this house will make it indeed a model home.- It will attract atten tion far and wide. Such a home in Greenville attracted over 14,000 visit ors. Such a home in Clinton should attract several thousand visitors. ^ It will be built not with a view to per sonal profit to .any one, but entirely in an effort to stimulate interest in the building of modern homes. With the unique plan for the model'home goes an opportunity for the ladies in Clinton to express themselves as to how a model home should be built. Each lady will be allowed an oppor r tunity to present her suggestion as to some particular feature, arrange ment, or some special detail, utility or accessory in connection with the house, that would in her mind be more desirable, practical and useful. AH of the suggestions offered by the ladies will be considered by a group of judges, the presenters of the best 14 suggestions will receive prizes, $50 for the first priz6, $25 for the sec ond prize, $15 for the third prize, $10 for each of the other prizes, $200 all told being given in cash to the ladies as prizes. Many of the suggestions will be used in the model home. Others may not be. All of the suggestions will be printed in a “model home baok,” which will be given away during the reception, after the house is complet ed, and in the same book will appear a directory helpful in the purchase of building materials for the orospective home builders, and also other valuable data and suggestions concerning home building Nrith ads of the local mer chants who will have matetial or equipment to offer for a new home. Thus, the, model home will serve not only as an education to the people, but will likewise serve as a display room for merchants and building material and supply manufacturers. The home itself will be a seven- room bungalow, one story, of the fin est type of construction, tapestry brick and tile walls, fire proof roof, maple floors, etc. The interest of the ladies in this city is particularly re quested, and the entire public is urged to follow the progress of the con struction of the home. It will be open to the public at all times except during the furnishing period. Further announcements concerning the model home will be made later. A full page advertisement'in this-is sue gives the details and conditions of the suggestion contest. It promises to be hn interesting battle of wits among the ladies. The Chronicle offers its heartiest co-operation in connection with the “Own Your Own Home Campaign” and intedns to do its share in stimu lating home building in the commun ity.

During the last year this service has been making an investigation of colds. It Qnds 'that, out of every one hundred persons, only ten have no colds during the year, that ninety will have one or two each winter or an average of nearly four every year. Now there are approximately one hundred and ten million people in this country. Of these, eleven million will he free from colds, while the ninety nine million who have four colds a year will have among them, three hun dred und ninety-six million colds every twelve raontha No wonder Doctor Cummings says colds are the commonest disease we have. These dolds are not only unpleasant, they are also expensive. How much Is lost in time and Wages because of them? How much is paid out for “ca tarrh cures,” cough drop#, oils, syrups, poultices and mustard foot baths? No body has any idea, but you can be sure that our national cold bill is many times larger than our annual coal bill we hear so much about. These colds are Just the same In dif ferent parts of the country. They oc cur about the same time of the year in- every locality. The public health service has found that the first out break occurs in October. That’s tfhen the first raw, chilly days are apt to appear. We evidently get accustora<Kl to this or protect ourselves better, for after the first outbreak, the number of colds decreases, until the latter part of December when another outbreak occur*. Then the weather settles down and w* adapt ourselves to it again and the number of colds drops off until Janu ary. During the late winter and early spring, colds are -generaL Elderly or delicate persona, who may have their third or fourth attack, when they are weakened and their resistance is re duced, are then especially liable to develop something worse, bronchitis or Influenza or the dreaded pneumonia. So that colds, while not generally dan gerous to life themselves, are very apt to prove the starting point-'for other and more serious diseases. No one likes to have a cold. We’d all be glad to be rid of them. The Investigation now being made by the public health service la the first na tion-wide study of colds ever under taken. Anything which can be done to reduce this disagreeable pest will fcn a real service to the public. inek VmwsmRM»r TTnWMh.% REAL ESTATE One‘10 room house with two acres of land north of - X. C.
