Concrete never requires repairs, and the saving in repair -expense alone makes the greater economy of using concrete more apparent every day. The cost of other building materials is constantly increasing. The cost of concrete is being reduced.

Reformers have their golden age; they have the centre of the stage, and they are raising Cain; they're trying out their mince -pie dreams, experimenting with their schemes, which don't look safe or sane. If anything is old and tried, they straightway start to shoot its hide all full of ugly holes: if anything is true and staunch they promptly jolt it in the paunch with their uplifting poles. If any man has nerve to say it is a shame to send away safe methods to the dump, the stern reformers climb his frame and call him some unpleasant name—a mossbank, or a chump.

'Uric Ae:d Suffering Uric acid is an accumulation of poison which finds lodgement in the system when the kidneys fail to remove it from the blood. In the kidneys and bladder it forms stones, in the joints and mus- cles it causes rheumatism. In any case the pain and suffering is almost beyond human endurance. Uric acid is prompt- ly removed from the system when the kidneys are kept healthy and active by using Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills, Cultivation of the habit of walking developer a very pleasant philosophy, says The Meddler. It promotes good appetite and digestion, which does more for cheerfulness than a garage full of machines. It brings you into democra- tic association with whatever farm or village life lies within reach and a let of new neighbors, both among folks, and animal and bird life. Belts Are Smart. As a smart accessory of the toilet the waist belt should have an importance greater than it has had for several sum- mers. We have not, it is true, definit- ely, decided in favor of waists, and in frocks there are still traces of the Em- pire influence; but, all the same, corse- let skirts will be by no means so gener- ally worn as they were last year, and skirts with blouses will be popular in smart materials, as well for the morning. Leather, tissue, and metal are employed for the new belts, and their designs are most attractive. Very pretty, gaudy little belts are of wool with flower de- signs in embroidery, and these are made with one sash and brought over and falling down one side, or at the centre of the back, the front having a fancy clasp. The same design is seen in metal with one end hanging as if for a chate- laine. Motifs of metal are joined by narrow chains and something of the same sort is seen on evening gowns with beads between ornamental discs of t.ilt;t d ar d jewelled metal. Sometimes, too, a tido ribbon encircles the waist and is caught at intervals by oranamen- tal metal motifs. ('i:anJtt lain's Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy.

We all require water in abundance in order that the constant chemical changes in the body that mean life and strength, may be carried on. Water is necessary for the proper absorption of digested food. It makes up nearly 30 per cent. of the cir- culating, fluids of the body and thus aids. in the distribution of food materials from the point where they are absorbed to the various parts where they assi- milated by tissues. Dr. Ball, a noted authority on food and diet, speaking of water, says: "Within each living cell of the body Gored Diseases i water is necessary to all the life pro- of the kidneys And is Depended bn to Right Sto- mach and Liver Disorders.

For everyday ills arising fr., .A liver and bowel disorders they br::tg relief promptly, and when com- pii ,ted diseases of the kidneys and lit c-: develop they often prove a sue- cartfu1 yore after doctors have failed.

Wialegglitaries The Baby and Light. One thing which we must learn to appreciate and respect in the baby is his attitude towards light. He is a born cave -man in more ways than one. While the rooms which he occupies should get plenty of sunshine, this should never be allowed to shine directly in his eyes or fall upon his face. He has neither pig- ment in'his tender skin nor hair on the top of his pink little head to protect him against the light rays. It is little short of cruelty to lay an unfortunate baby on his back in a troughlike peram- bulator, so deep and well padded that he cannot even squirm; to load hint down with clothing or wraps or even actually strap him down so that he can lift neigher hand nor foot, and then wheel him about for hours with his little face turned up to the full glare of . the light, and even the direct rays of the sun. Here is where the foundation of many a case of headaches or irritable nerves or fretfulness—with its accom- panying indigestion and sleeplessness —is laid. cesses. It is used by' the glands in their elaboration of various products or secretions. Man has in his ingenuity added many things to water, but as a rule these conditions are useless if not harmful. No drink ever devised by man has been more effective for the slacking o$ thirst than pyre water." The average person needs about two quarts of water in twenty-four hours. Of course, this quantity may vary with the temperature and the hind of work one is doing.

'IINGIIAI1 TIMES JUNE 2C, 1913 STORY OF A FAMOUS SON. A Dismal, Rainy Day Moved Dan Em- met to Write "Dixie." 'Dixie" was writteu by Dan Emmet, both words and musi.;. It was sun for the first time Monday,. Sept. 19, 1559, on the stage of Bryant's minstrels at •172 Broadway, New York. There has beeu much controversy over the cinestiou of authorship and over the music. The known history of the song has been easefully compiled by flus - tar Kobbe in his "ramous American Songs," as follows: "On Saturday night, Sept, 17„ 1S59, after the performance one of the Bry- anls told Emmet that a new walk :trun.al was wanted in time for re- hearsal on Monday. The minstrel re- plied that, while the time was very short, he would do his best. That night after be reached home he tried to hit upon some tune. but the music wouldn't come. His wife cheerily told flint to wait until morning. He should have tate room to himself so that he could work undisturbed, and when he had finished the walk around he could play it for her as n sole audience. If she liked it tate Bryants would and so would the average listener. •'Nest day was rainy and dismal. Some years before Emmet had traveled with a circus as a drummer. In winter the warm southern circuit was a popu- lar route with circus people, and those who were obliged to show north would say when the cold weather would make them shiver, 'I wish I was in Dixie,' The phrase was, in fact, a current cir- cus expression. On that dismal Sep- tember day, probably the beginning of the equinoctial, wben Emmet stepped to the window and looked out the old longing for the pleasant south came over him. tied involuntarily he thought to himself, 'I wish 1 was in Dixie.' "Like a flash the thought suggested the first line for a walk around, and a little later the minstrel, fiddle in hand, was working out the • melody which, coupled with the words, made 'Dixie' a genuine song or the people almost from tite instant It was first sung." LISZT AND HIS CIGARS. why the Great Musician Said He Would Quit Smoking. Liszt was is the habit of smoking one cigar a day. But that one cigar MIS au exceedingly choice one. When he was starting on a journey he told his valet how many days he would be away, (10(1 his valet nut into the valise a corresponding number of those ci- gars. Once when Liszt was going to Italy the chief customs officer at the frontier post of Chiasso asked him if he had anything to declare. The musician, with his thoughts centered on his mu- sic rather than his cigars, made signs to the effect that he bad nothing. The officer opened the valise without the traveler agitating himself over the search. Presently a number of cigars were brought to light. The whole lot was confiscated, and be was ordered to pay a fine of $100. When Liszt reached Milan he told his agent of his unpleasant adventure. RI- cordi laughed at the whole affair, took a stroll to the Italian treaury and re- covered the cigars and the fine. On returning to the artist he offered him, with a smile, one of his own precious ciga rs. "No, my dear friend," said Liszt, "I have taken a vow never to smoke again so as not to expose myself a second time to such a humiliation." Ricordi says he kept his vow. Other authorities recall Roger's visit to the virtuoso in 1370: "Liszt smoked and offered me a ci- gar," said Reger, "and while 1 took my ease he walked up and down, sending out clouds of smoke in the direction of certain terra cotta figures."—New York Sun.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CAS I-ORIA Superstitions on Crickets. The cricket on the hearth is still, a welcome guest in those English house- holds that he deigns to visit. His com- ing is a harbinger of good fortune, while if he leaves the house that is an infallible sign of imminent disaster. A correspondent in Notes and Queries refers to a belief prevalent in Lanca- shire "that crickets are lucky about a house and will do no harm to those who use them well, but that they eat holes in the worsted stockings of such members of the family as kill them. I was assured of this," adds the writer, "on the experience of a respectable farmer's family."—London Spectator. The Richest Street.

The desire to make agood impression is common to all aimable person, says Youth's Companion, but it is sometimes carried to such an extreme that it de- feats itself. The greater the anxiety to please, the less the success. One who keeps anxiously wondering, "Now what can Irsay to be pleasant?" will miss the opportunities that occur to him who is simply and naturally interested in finding out what the other person is like. Self-conscious persons, wishing to make a good impression, are easily be- trayed into harmless little insincerities, frequent and eager acquiscence, and a general appearance of having no minds of their own. The fact is that people prefer to talk with those who are a little slow and hesitating in response, rather than with those whose acquiescene is so hasty and excessive as to kill off a topic at once.
