Will Occupy Comfortable and Cheaper Homes in Outlying Districts When Subway Lines Begin Operations. York. Enough people will move out of Manhattan this year to make a dozen new cities. Sites for more than a score of such towns have been selected along the rapid transit subway lines, which will be in operation next summer, and it is estimated that 500,000 people will grasp the first available opportunity to desert Manhattan flats for more comfortable and cheaper homes in outlying districts. What is known as the "metropolitan area" now extends well up into Connecticut and embraces all the accessible section of Westchester county, the northern half of New Jersey and the entire western end of Long Island. Last year suburban real estate operators and builders invested $600,000,000 in this territory and erected 25.000 with dwellings and 8,700 for approximately accommodations 110,000 people. So far plant have been filed for additional structures to be completed (his year at a cost of $650,000,000. Yet this huge outlay is only a part of the billions spent to prepare outlying districts for the spreading metropolis, a work which will take years of the most intense building activity. Three hundred and thirty eight thousand people, it is estimated, will be provided with homes by the building operations of the ensuing year at a substantial reduction of rents, which now frequently average as high as 35 or 40 per cent, of their incomes for the poorer classes, because of the necessity for crowding within commuting distances of their employment.

And with this discovery has come the realization that the feeding of this great army of workers is now one of the most vital concerns of the enterWhere formerly the negroes prise behind the shovel failed to eat enough themnourishing food to sustain selves against the climate and nine hours daily toil, the government Is now feeding them on food which they may not like but which is good for them. They may complain, but the belief of the chief ditch diggers Is that a great problem has been solved. The credit is largely due to Jackson of labor and Smith, superintendent quarters on the isthmus. President Roosevelt while on the isthmus questioned a negro foreman who had worked in Panama with the French. This foreman now has charge of 20 men. An average of four or five, he told the president, were taken 111 each day with sudden faintness. This he attributed to their failure to feed themselves properly. Further questioning negro laborers, who came from the liarbadoes, Jamaica and others of the West Indies, President Roosevelt learned that almost without exception they prepared their own food in preference to eating In the messes established by the canal commission. Left to their own resources these negroes dined on a couple of yams and a bit of fish. A glance into their cook pots found no sign of the dark colors which bubble where highly nutritious foods are pre- losing more in fares than it would cost to furnish and maintain adequate facilities. This is believed to be an argument which will appeal to Mr. Ryan and Mr. Helmont with some force just as soon as Mr. Shonts can prepare the necessary diagrams and drawings and a few reports to substantiate the statement. Meanwhile- - figures obtained by a committee which has been investigating the matter show that in the first nine months of 1906 the company took in 11,700.000 cash fares more than durpared.

According to advice received here a number of society young women of Hemingford, south of here, have formed an society. A society was formed several months ago by young women at Harrison, and several societies have been formed with in the last year by young women in other Nebraska and South Dakota towns. Members of the Hemingford society subscribe to an agreement not to receive attentions from men young, middle aged or old who wear any sort of beard, and not under any circumstances to many men who have beards. They also agree to use all possible means to persuade their fathers and brothers and other near relatives of theirs not to wear beards. Any member of the society who receives attentions from a man who wears a beard is subject to a fine, and any member who becomes engaged to a man with a beard Is subject to a line and expulsion from the society. s nine hours' labor three tickets for meals at mess kitchens, which are located convenient to their work. The difference between the old wage and the new is the cost of the food. The laborer is not compelled to eat In the mess kitchen meals, but he is not likely to refuse them, when so doing means that he will have to spend elsewhere a considerable part of the remaining wage for food. The practical effect is that upward of laborers are being turned from familiar but insufficient food to new but nutritious meals. Five thousand Spanish laborers have been brought in. They have none of the faults of the negroes and have not fallen into the habit of neglecting themselves as to food. Nevertheless, the negro laborer, who has 13,-00- 0 Engineer Jackson Smith, the Square Meal Man. alternately been the hope and the Above All Things the Walls Should Be Kept Dry. When the bedroom becomes a sick" rm lidded reason wliv ex treme precautions should be used to keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary condition. Above all things, the bedroom should never be damp. It should be nice and dry, always warm and comfortable in winter, cool and airy in summer, and bright and sunny some parts of the roon, iht rii day. If there is any suspicion of dampness in a bedroom it is probably due, if there is wallpaper on the wall, to the absorption of water by the paper which frequently acts as a blotting paper and holds quantities of water in it. The use of wallpaper on walls is to be deplored; it means disease, ill health and unhappiness. It is frequently the cause of lung trouble, not only because of its dampness but also because of its power to retain infection of many kinds. The desired method of treating a bedroom wall is to tint it for the wall is a perfect wall. It never flakes off, chips or peels. It absorbs moisture and expels it, it opens the pores of the plaster and makes a room livable and breathable. The floor in the bedroom should have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that can be easily shaken and a floor that Is thoroughly oiled or varnished, that will not absorb moisture. The cracks In the floor should be thoroughly filled and covered. Woodwork in the bedroom should be attended to carefully, window sills should be thoroughly varnished or waxed, and the window casings kept in perfect order. The doors should be wiped off frequently as also should be all the standing woodwork in the bedroom, as the presence of dust on woodwork is a menace to health as well as an evidence of poor housekeeping.

It appea.s that In the last few years, since a real attempt lo collect duty at this port has been made, there has grown up quite a practice of bringing in goods In trunks with false bottoms. So great has this practice become. It Is said, that two or three firms in Kurope are making a specialty of trunks with false bottoms, and they have even gone so far, It Is said, as to advertise their wares in a quiet way on this side of the Atlantic. The Inspectors have been furnished with the trademarks of the trunks under the ban, and they have been given other data Ut enable them to Identify trunks that may be capable of con-r- i aling dutiable goods. The worst offenders in the past have been dressmakers who go to France to purchase dresses and buyers who go over to obtain laces and other goods.
