RENT RECEIPTS T
YOU PREFER THE HOME
Rent receipts are just pieces of paper-not worth their
paper weight cost.
But a home—that is something to be proud of—some-

when overhead, profile and engineers' fees
are included, and 11.25 per cent when
only materials and labor are used as the
basis for figuring. These percentages will
vary in different localities but, according
to a large appraisal company, they repre-
sent typical costs. Under modern con-
ditions, the labor bill approximates 27.5
per cent of the total expense when work
and materials only are figured, millwork
13.2 per cent, and lumber 20.5 per cent.
When the value of the furniture or the
stock is added to other costs, the expense
of the brick in the “all brick” structure
is negligible. '

by a blazing col-
umn of gas and oil.
It ui explained by
scientists that the
Orinoco river car-
ries into the gulf
enormous quanti-
ties of silt and that
this part of the
coast is subject to
earthquake shocks
and also underlain
with oil. A fis-
sure developed in
. bedrock on the
floor of the gulf
will extend to an
oil reservoir. The
pressure is so great
that the oil and
gas, forcing their
way upward and
pushing along
everything in their
way, cause an
island of silt to
suddenly appear on
the surface. Con-
keep the spools ip a tightly corked bottle.
Lines have been kept in good condition
in this way for 3 years. Straight olive
bottles, or similar ones with the neck and
body of the same diameter, are excellent
to use for this purpose. The bottle is
first corked and the tin cap then screwed
on. with a piece of waxed paper under it.
“Roller Skates" Fit on Sled
for All-Year Coaster
Detachable rubber-tired wheels, like
those on the latest type of roller skates,
that can be fitted in a few moments into
the runners of a "coaster," convert the
sled into a smooth and silent running
wagon for seasons when there is no snow.
Steering is done by a convenient front
rod which simultaneously turns the for-
ward and rear runners. Sharp corners
can be managed in this way, the danger
of “skidding” on steep hills is lessened.

of the officials of the FIRST

Do you know, the greatest
difficulty the Bank has is to
impress you sufficiently
with the willingness, the de-
sire on their part, to make
their facilities of service to
you.
During the meeting, the
President said he wished he
might have time to call on
you personally and offer you
the use of their service and
banking facilities.
You will be surprised at the
welcome you will receive on
any call you may make at

tually causes it to burst like a bubble and
free the accumulated oil and gas beneath,
which immediately ignite and burn until
the supply is exhausted, usually in from
four days to a week. The gas has a
rather low ignition temperature and heat
developed by friction between it and the
salt water is sufficient to ignite it.

Preserving Fish Lines
Silk casting lines are often allowed to
lie around in the tackle box on a shelf
and are thus exposed to all changes of
temperature and humidity. The result of

high speeds. Springs and strong strips
of steel are used in the gear and it is
adjusted so that it cannot get "stuck."

SUFFERED FROM
CANCER FOR
FIVE YEARS
Just five years since I entered your Sanitarium for treatment of
Cancer. I had been suffering from Cancer for five years under my
left ear. I had taken three different treatments without any relief.
1 had almost given up hope of getting well until you examined me
and said I had a chance to get well. In twenty-seven days my cancer
was out and I returned home and I am proud to say I have not had
a symptom-since. I remain. Your friend,

Sulphur Clears Up
Rough or Red Skin
Face, Neck and Arms Easily Made
Smooth, Says Specialist. ;
Any breaking out of the skin,
even fiery, itching eczema, can be
quiciky overcoms by applying a little
Mentho-Sulphur, declares a noted
akin specialist. Because of its germ
destroying properties, this sulphur
preparation begins at once to soothe
irritated skin and head eruptions
such as rash, pimples and ring worm.
It seldom fails to remove the tor-
ment an disfigurement, and you do
not have to wait for relief from em-
barrassment. Improvement quickly
shows. Sufferers from skin trouble
should obtain a small jar of Rowles
Mentho-Sulphur from any good drug-
gist and use it like cold cream.

English peas, green and yellow beans,
