Hall's Catarrh Medicine
Those who are in a "run down" condi

them much more than when they are in
good health. This fact proves that while
Catarrh is a local disease, it is greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions.

FAMILY SHOULD
OWN THE HOME
Without a Home Is Like Tree
Without Roots, According
to B. C. Forbes.
The family that doesn't own its
own home is like a tree without roots.
It has nothing deep and binding to
cling to, nothing to keep it firmly
and steadfastly anchored.
It can be hounded to and fro by
mercenary whims of mercenary land
lords.
How different the family that
owns its own home? It has root 3,
roots that go deep down into the
soil of America. It owns a part of
this blessed land. It possesses a hav
en from which no grasping, schem
ing landlord can cast it out.
Love flourishes in a home. It too
often languishes in rented rooms.
Homes alone have hearths. Mere
houses don't.
Children bred in parent-owned
homes rarely sink into crime. Crime
finds its best breeding ground within
hired walls.
If I were to draw up Ten Com
mandments for those earnestly seek
ing to fight successfully the battle of
life, they would read:
First—Studly.
Second—Sweat.
Third—Keep accounts.
Fourth—Save systematically.
Fifth —Take out life insurance.
Sixth —Buy your own home.
Seventh—lnvest in sound securities
—or launch your own business.
Eighth—Educate your children.
Ninth—Travel.
Tenth—Give generously.
Neglect many—or any—of these
and you are unlikely to enjoy a
well-rounded, satisfying, success
ful life.
Today, the threshold of a new
year, is a fitting time to urge our
Sixth Commandment: Buy your
own home.
All success, to be truly satisfying
must revolve around Home, must
have Home its incentive. Home as
its reward, for he is but barrenly
happy who has no Home to share
the joy of his triumphs.
George Eastman, in reply to the
remark of a friend of large fam
ily but little money, "I am not
rich," looked at him seriously,
meaningly, and then said repri
mandingly: "You are rich." Georg2
Eastman is a seventy-year-old bache
lor.
Do we not associate children with
homes, divorces with flr.'s;, hotels,
apartments and o-her modern substi
tutes for the old .'a&.iloned family
owned home?
Owning your own home inspires
a feeling akin to owning your own
business, renting a house a feel
ing akin to working for somebody
else. The first enriches life with a
something, a flavor, the second can
not yield.
James Speyer, the international
banker, walking among the trees and
gardens of his mellow country home,
remarked, "I like my Fifth Avenue
house, but I love this old home."
Home, garden trees —what can
even the most luxurious city apart
ment offer in comparison?
Happily, it is easier today to ac
quire your own home than it was
a year ago or two years ago or
five years ago. More homes have
been built. More are now available.
Also, it is easier to borrow
money to complete the purchase,
for money rates are now the lowest
known since pre-war days.
Then, too, financial, insurance,
real estate and suchlike, institutions
have developed unprececlantedly easy
and attractive terms for buying a
home on the part-payment installment
plan, an arrangement that is peculiar
ly inducive to regular systematic sub
, stantial saving.
"Why do you own your own
home?" a real estate editor asked
me ft year ago, and my an
swer seemed to find an echo thru
out the land: "These are my three
main reasons," I said, pointing to a
photograph of three of my children.
The owner of a home, be it ever
so humble can snap his fingers at
the grouchy old owner of city prop
erty who excludes children as he
would a plague.
And, with Christmas still ringing in
our hearts, what is life without the
patter of little feet and the prattle
of little voices?
Home, your own home, is the natu
ral, the ideal, the only cradling-place
for children, as it is the natural, the
ideal the only place for tasting and
knowing life at its best.

HE WANTED IT READ.
The Courier has often carried
short notices calling attention to the
I value of advertising in this paper but
a recent experience of an editor as
| reported by a paper in South Dakota
again shows that newspaper adver
tising is more effective than that se
-1 cured through the use of billboards.
This experience as given by the Di
' vision of Publications of the State
College Extension Service is as fol
lows: -
An editor and a merchant were
discussing the virtue of billboard ad
vertising. The merchant contended
that more people read the billboard
than the newspaper. After a lengthy
conversation in which neither man
would give in, the men parted.
The next week the merchant came
tearing down the street to the news
paper office wanting to know why
the obituary of his wife's mother was
not in the paper, especially after he
had seen that a copy was taken to
the newspaper office.
"Well," said the editor, "I know
you wanted the obituary read by the
people, so I took it out and nailed it
up on your billboard."

so named because millions of grass
hopper are frozen in its ice.
