bottle of it I was entirely cured." For

REDUCE CONGESTION.
There aro commercial and in
dustrial Interests which, blinded
by the privileges of the present,"
fall to see the udvuntuges of
the golden era of Uio future.
These Interests, therefore1, while
yielding to tlio growing demand
for city pluuuiiig, adhere to the
antlqunted Ideals and methods
which have been so well ex
pressed in Purls and Berlin and
which nre based wholly on the
principle of workaday coro
' inerclallsm and Industrial prof
its rather thnu upon the prin
ciples of buinuu efllciwticy and
social progress. "Nickel" poli
cies in transit . development,
. such as we frequently encounter
' among our public corporations,
yboulovnrd and parkway devel
opments, the main function of
which is the increase In real
estate values that benefit the
few, the construction of costly
public buildings to impress the
strangers and benefit the graft
ing contractors, do not consti
tute city planning.
. Unless we realize the impor
. tance of reducing congestion, dis
tributing adequately and equita
bly the advantages of parks,
playgrounds, social and educa
tional routers, give easy and
cheap access to the opportuul
ties for employment to the peo
ple as a whole, this country will
be developing slums and their
products poverty, immorality,
crimes, disease and death. Dr.
Carol Aronovlci.

"WHAT "BOOSTING" DOES.
Good Deal Comes From Faith In One's
Own Town.
To make money iu your own com
munity you need faith In that com
munity. If you haven't got that faith
you'd bettor move out, says John M.
Osklson In the Chicago New&
In my youth I went to school in n
little town which was said to have n
population of 3,500. About four or live
now houses a year wore put up, ancl
about every five years n little mill, o
steam laundry or a small private school
would he erected. The town grew so
slowly that everybody began to believe
tlwt It wasn't growing at all.
Then Brown, who ran a harness and
saddle shop, stnrted out to see if he
couldn't stimulate n( booster spirit. 1
used to hear his first faint blasts of
celebration of flint llttln town's ruiusl.
b'Utles and see the amused smiles on
l.lio faces of those buslress people he
talked with. It seemed to me a hope
less tank Brown had undertaken. .
But Brown had faith enough In the
town to keep on and to put up as much
money ns he could raise to help bring
other mills and Industries. By the
time I left that town to go to college it
had become almost popular to boost.
Last fall I dropped into the old place,
and I had a talk with Brown. Long
ago. through his capacity for wnklng
the sleeping faith of men, Brown had
risen out of his harness and saddle
shop and was a factor In a great In
dustry which had been developed since
I went away to college.' The town
Itself was changed. The now blood
brought In by Brown and his crowd
of boosters hnd been good for It.
It Isn't a metropolis yet. not by a
long way, dm it gives you the Impres
slon of n place confident of its future.
Its property owners are hanging to
their holdings and paying the rather
high taxes, due to big expenditures for
street and sewer Improvements, with
an air which says. "You may think I'm
Btung, but you just wait until we hnve
quite recovered i.'om the temporary
tlmnp!"
It Is true thnt the town Is in a slump,
Not even Brown will attempt to denj
It But it Is just as certain ns any
thing economic can be that Brown and
his regimojt of believers in the town's
future will caul it out of tlio Blump.
And In doing It don't forget that
Brown and the other believers will
make n handsome profit.
You can make your faith in your
community pay.
IDLE MONEY
is that which you carry in your pocketbook or keep
at home. It earns nothing and a thousand whims
'and petty extravagances lie in wait. You should
put your money to work; it has earning power that .
is too valuable to lose by laying the money away .
or carrying it with you. We suggest that you open
a Savings Account at our Bank. Yon will thank us
' . later for the suggestion. We pay 4 per cent interest. .
