A BILLIARD ROOM in the private home ranks with most pieople aloof with a country estate and its artificial lake, a gallery for musicians and other luxuries of the rich. There la no reason, though. why thia dean, wholesome game should not be played right at home by every member of the family, without their scattering outside in search of fun and recreation. Very few small homes can afford an, extra room Just for the billiard table, but practically all have attics sitting on top of them, idle year after year. A little planning, a little work and a little money will turn almost any attic Into a first-class home billiard room. The space required is not great A small home billiard table la about three by six feet, so that the space me ternary for playing may be as small as twelve by fifteen feet The flrat consideration Is to make the attic comfortable as to temperature all the year round, and the second is to give a good appearance so that you will be proud to take guests up to the new hilllard room. These two matters can be attended to In one operation by sealing the under side of the rafters and the side walls with ceiotex insu- ’ latlng lumber that will offer remarkable resistance to the passage of heat and cold, at the same time doing away with the necessity for lath and plaster In a room of this sort, the may well be left untreated, simply covering the joints with mold-

AMERICA'S FIRE LOSS • America’s fire loss last year reached. $570,255,921. Since there was recorded in 1925 no sweeping conflagration it is natural to conclude that this wastage accrued from a multitude of comparatively small biases. Some of it did. bu* not al), as will be seen from a study’ of certain figures recently compiled. This analysis illuninat s another asnect of the genesis of America’s heavy fire toll.

ing or strips of the same lumber, beveled. In sealing the attic, especial care should be taken where the rafters meet the side walls of the house, as this is the point where most of the hot air escapes from lhe inside or comes in from the outside, depending on the time of year. In extreme climates or where one is to be almost' totally dependent on the heat from the rest of the house for warming the attic, a double layer of the insulating lumber would be better. A small electric. gas °r oil heater, will provide what little heat is needed in addition to the heat rising from below. The floor should he as level as pos slble although most tables have adjustable devices on the legs. The floor should be covered with a plain piece of carpeting or even left bare. If the bouse is wired for electricity, extension cords may be run up to the attic and dropped down, one over each end of the table. The length of the cords must be carefully adjusted. Opaque green shades are inexpensive and satisfactory. The racks for the cues and other apparatus may he nailed to the walls. Put serviceable curtains at the windows, add a couple of chairs that can be spared from downstairs and a smoking stand for the men, and you have a billiard room which will keep the boys at home and tte a source of pleasure t£e year round. ©Celotechnic Chicago.

The 1926 crop one of the largest in the history of peppermint growing in Indiana consists of 518.000 pounds of peppermint oil distilled from a harvest from 30.300 acres. Indiana le! the mint centers of the countp- in production this year, Michigan renorting 165,000 pounds from 10.300 acres while Washington and Oregon are expected to report from 42,900 to 75,000 pounds from about 2.500 acres.

GOOD TEFFH MUST BE BUILT Care of the teeth is important. Teeth must oe kept clean far a I healthy mouth. No amount of I ’ brushing of the teeth, however. . < will change faulty or unsound I i teeth into good strong teeth, or ’ prevent the decay of teeth that are not built right. 1 The message that Dental Hygienists are bringing to us as the ! result of study and experience be summed, up in a few simple, but esseu ial facts. First —Teeth must be well built in order to be strong and must be kept clean for the sake of healthy mouths. Second —The first teeth of a baby are all formed when the baby is born. If these first teeth are ‘o be sound and strong the mother’s diet, while baby’s teeth are being formed, must include, one quart, of milk, some dark bread or cereal, some fruit and some green vegetable each day. Third—To build strong, sound teeth, he baby should first of all oe breast fed and the baby’s diet from two years to the century mark should include milk, dark bread or cereal, fruit and green vegetables. Fourth—The habi* of thumb sucking and the use of so-called “pacifiers” cause crooked teeth, spoil the appearance of the child and. tend to destroy the health of the teeth. Fisth —The first teeth of the baby should be examined by the dentist and must not be permitted to decay. Sixth—The second teeth should be examined by the dentist as soon as they erupt. Frequently second teeth have tiny cracks or fissures which mean decay, but which if cared for properly will not decay. Second teeth, of course, should be wa'ched regularly and frequently by the dentist. s Seventh —T ee t h shou’d be cleaned at least twice each day for a healthy mouth and clean food. BUILD SOUND STRONG TEETH AND THEN SEE THAT THEY ARE KEPT CLEAN. (7 ILLITERATES IN PRISON Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, ■ founder of the Moonlight Schools of Kentucky, and a mrecior of; the National Literary Crusade, j was visited most of the penal in- j stitutions of the United States during the past year says that 119,000 men and women are committed to prison every two years i who can neither read or write. She finds that 80 percent of those behind prison bars are without any school opportunities whatever, and this is due simply> to a lack of appreciation of the opportunity by, prison authorities, In one institution with a total of 3.300 inmates one-third could neither read or write. While we deplore illiteracy in Russia, Mexico and other nations and spend millions of dollars in foreign educational fields this home condition certainly offers a prolific field for the literary crusaders and for society generally. Under present systems prisoners spend their evening hours alonp . in their cells in dreary' The educated ones can read but the illiterate can only think with nothing to direct his thoughts into new or inspriring channels. All this can be changed by a simple order from the prison authorities. Wherever tried the poor illiterate unfortunates seem to be glad of the opportunity and a great difference iji deportment is noted. One man who had just learned to write his own name proudly declared: “Now I feel like a citizen and a whiteo maif ” One of the most important places in the world to introduce primary education is among these thousands of prisoners. They should be given a fair chance to learn to read good books, including the Bible; they should be given a chance to learn to write to their loved ones — they should be given at least opportunity in this direction with illiterates outside of prison walls. o STATES MUST GROM’ TIMBER State rather than Federal acposed in 1919, when 4 state adopted the tax and derived a revenue of a little more than one million dollars. The practice is now' general and the large revenue derived is one of the most important sources of highway income. ’ Wife Takes Vino! > Feels Fine Now ’ “I was week and had no strenght. • Since taking Vinol, I feel fine now ’ and do my work again.”—Mrs. O. Barnesberger. The very FIRST week - you take VinoL you begin to feel stronger, eat and sleep better. Vinol is a simple, strengthening iron and cod liver compound in use for over 25 years by weak, nervous women, run-down men and sickly children. Contains no oil—pleasant to take. Thornburg Drug Co.

mothers’ Pensions Forty-two States now have “mothers’ pensions” laws providing for aid to children in thmr own homes, and 130.000 children are receiving such aid. The Depart aient of Labor estimates that the number of children who heed such help is probably close to 350.000 or 400,000. Six States give aid to expect-1 ans mothers. Colorado also gives I aid to fathers with dependent children. The amount of aid al- j lowed for a child has tended to .ncrease. although twenty States place a maximun of $39 or less a month on the amount that may be paid to a family with three children. The Department produces figures to prove th"' home care is much less expensive than institutions. It has been found that the mother can care for a child on sls per month, while it costs $28.40 in children’s homes. The no her should be en itled to as much as is given to the homes. o— B. A 0.
