Choosing A Site
To Build Home?
Many Factors Bear On T• he*.
Choice of Lot for Residrice
• With real _estate bece_minglrece
°griped as one . of the foremost
investment • media unaffected by
market fluctuations due to varia-
tions' in war conditions, • heene-
ownership is quoted today by arch-
• itectural authorities as ',not only
insurance against rental Increases
but an investment for the future.
''with the knowledge that funds paid
into the home will not depreciate
with the years but should increase
materiallY. '
• IMportant factors to be' borne in
• mind when enveiting in real estate
are quoted as follows.: •
1. Secitre a dependable epinion
on the eocation and yalue of house
or land. Theeservice,s of a depend-
able real estate agent should be
• secured in respect to trends and
• land values.
2. Steps should be taken to oh-• '
tai n an absolutely clear title to any
parcel of land or improved property
It is essential that one 'should re -
•'quire the owner of a 'property to
establish his title to it before it is
purchased. '
• 3.°111ake sure that the air is free
• and cleanein the locality in which
the proposed land or home lies.1It
-is manifestly moye pleasant to have
a house located in a eoznmunity,re-
latively free from smoke and Ldust.
• 4. Purchase enough land. It is
generally considered that a trent-
'age of 50 feet is not too Much. Nar-
row liets limit space, distort the
• architecture' and limit privacy. The
wider the lot the More desirable
• it will be to others .with consequent
greater resale value. •

Prevention Of
WhoO ping. ..Cough
From studies made at the'COn- •
naught 'Laboratories and School
of Hygiene, Toronto one gains
the view that whooping cougli
may be prevented by the timely •
use of a fresh strain vaccine pro -
dared for this purpose, writes Dr.
e3ohn W. S. McCullough of the
• Health League of Canada. The
• etudy referred to was carried on
• six years among groups of con-
• trpl and vaccinated children. UP
to • the present time 288 control
• and • 1,907 vaccinated children
hard been followed. Of the for-
' xner, 52,and of the latter 97, were
in contact wth cases .of whooping
• cough. The number of cases -in
•
,the first group were 43 and in
the latter group 10, so that the
respective percentages Were 82
• Protective Vaccine
• Of the 97. contacts in the vac-
cinated group there were 23
reet exposures 'to brothers and
sisters with whooping cough. -In
• the 23 instances the nature of the
• contact was intimate and continue
bus (often kissing, drinking from
the same cup or sleeping izi the
• same bed). , None of the 23 de-
veloped the disease from their
, brothers and sisters., This is very
strong evidence of the protective.
value of the vaccine since one
• would not expect all of the 23
children continuously exposed to
wboping cough to escape the•dise
• easIet. will
be noted.' that there
were 82 cases of whooping cough
in the control group and but ten
• in the vaccinated children. This
ia'another strong suggestion that
the vaccine protects. •
Another fact, already refemoll
to, is that while 5.2 control child
ren coming in contact with whoop-
ing cough, 43 contracted the dis-
ease giving a morbidity of 82 per
ceint., but 10 of 97 vaccinated
children were infected, giving .a
morbidity of but 10 per cent. in
• this group.
The foregoing, added toone's
own experience is the use of
whooping ' cough vaccine, . indi-
cates that this Preventive remedy
should be used in all cases where
• there is a threat of this diseaSe.
