PREVENTING THE PREVENTABLE.
It Is, of course, worses than uboIcbs
to worry about unproventablo misfor
tun os. It Is worth while, however, to
dlfforentlato between tho preventablo
and the unprevcntablo. It Is equally
worth while to work for tho proven
Tentlon of tho preventablo. And one
Is surprised to And how many of the
losses and sufferings of mankind
might bo prevented If proper tlmo and
thought woro given to them.' Losses
Df human life through unnecessary dis
eases, destruction of food products
through preventable causes, sacrifices
of property through avoldablo fires
they constitute an appalling chnptor
on social Inefficiency. Only an approx
imate monetary value can bo placed
upon human life. Tho Insuranuo
companies mako such estimates, but
they are convincing only when consid
ered Impersonnlly. To say that mil
lions are lost to tho peoplo of Amor
lea through unnecessary dying,
through the ravages of preventablo
diseases, is to state an economic fact
unfeelingly. It Is, nono tho less, a
fact Tho property loss by Are In
tho United States for 1911 tho latest
authentic figures obtainable was
$225,000,000. And any expert will say
a majority of thoso fires might have

Every tradition associated with
that Easter llowor, the iris, makes
it a beauty of richest promise. It
signifies a message, and, becauso it
grows in every part of the world, It
is a universal messago. Tho Grooks
named it for. tho rainbow, but tho
Egyptians lay special claim to tho
flower.
It Is tho plant spoken of In ExodUB
as being tho hiding place of tht) in
fant Moses when he lay in the era
dlo of tho rushes on the river's bo
som, it may bo that tho' flowers
whispered to him then that his des
tiny'' was to lead his peoplo to the
promised land. Tho ancient Egyp
tians placed tho Iris on tho brow of
tho sphinx and on tho scepters of
their monnrchs, and among all tho
eastern nations it has over been tho
symbol of power. Another land that
highly honors it Is Franco, for It Is
tho veritable fleur-de-lis that figures
on the arms of this country. .Dut
thoro is a most beautiful legend that
makes the Iris a sacred flower as
well as a national emblem. Tho
stqry tells that it was a trembling,
agonized witness of tho crucifixion.
When It hoard the anguished cry,
"My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?" It sobbed out tho
vow, "Henceforth I will perpetually
mourn, and, let man should ever
lose sight of this solemn hour, above
my golden chalice 1 will carry a
veil of vlolot."
Ancient and Important is tho his
tory of the Illy, which was also high
In favor with the old Egyptians, for
it appears prominently In their
hieroglyphics. According to a pret
ty legend, when lilies first grow on
tho earth .they woro' nono of them
puro whlto, but all of a lovely yellow
huo. Seaborn Aphrodite in her happy wander
ings suddenly appeared before them wondrously
fair and bright and whlto as tho foam of tho
waves from which she sprang. Tho lilies trem
bled beforo her beauty, and grew so pale with
JealouBy that over after thoy blossomed white.
First the goddess Juno chn It hr her fnvnrlto
flower, and, then passing to tho Virgin Mary, it
was dedicated to tho early Christian church.
Besides being tho chosen flowor of tho church,
it is also an Imperial blossom. Away back In the
days of 1048 Garclus IV, king of Navarre, estab
lished tho Order of tho Knights of St. Mary ot
tho Lily, and another Ordor of tho Lily was
founded by Ferdinand of Aragon. Dundee carries
lilies argent on Its arms and beautiful Florence
claims 'the queenly flowers as Its emblem.
"Tho sweet forget-me-hot that blooms for hap
py lovers," has moro beautiful legends clinging
to Its namo than any othor flower.
According to ono beautiful talo, the Lord called
tho plants In tho Garden ot Eden before him to
glvo them their names and color. As he spoke
to ono after anothor, a tiny flowor thought Itself
unnoticed add fearful of being quite overlooked,
It timidly pleaded, "Dear Lord, forgot mo not."
Tho great Creator turned sternly toward the llt
tlo plant that had dared to Interrupt him, thou
seeing how sorely afraid It was, ho gently smiled
upon Jt, gave It for Its color the heavonR' own
bluo, and called it Forgctme-not, as a reminder
that It had onco been so foolish as to doubt him.
It is tho Persians who hnvo fashioned a beauti
ful legend to toll how It is that these flowers aro
scattered over tho parth as the stars nrc spread
over tho sky. According to them, one morning
of glory whon tho world was new, an angel stood
weeping outside tho closed gato of Paradise. Ha
had fallen, in that ho had loved a fair daughter
of Earth. Whon his oyes had rested on her as
she Bat on a river's bank weaving forget-me-nots
In her hair, heaven and his mission tc earth wcro
aliko forgotten. Now ho might no more enter
In until his beloved had sown all over tho earth
tho forgot-mo-not. Ho returned to her nnd hand
In hand thoy wandered, planting everywhere the
sweot azuro flowers. When at last there remain
ed on earth no spot barren of theso blossoms,
thoy turned again to tho gato and found It open.
Together they entered In, for the angel's great
lovo had lifted tho woman to Paradise.
Somo authorities thero aro who do not hark
back to tho days of tho Garden of Eden, but tell
a pathotlc talo of tho Danube as the origin of tho
forgot-mo-not'a nnmo. Tho bluo waves of tho
river washed the foundation walls of a bravo
knight's nncestral castlo. He had but Just como
homo from tho wars and laid his honors at tho
feet of his lady lovo. His brldo and ho were
wandering along tho river's bank when ho ex
claimed, "Look yonder; there, upon that Islet;
seo thoso star-llko blossoms bluo ns thine eyos."
Instantly ho sprang Into tho river and swam
toward tho flowors. In safety ho renched tho lslo
and grasped tho fragile prizo, but when ho tried
to return with thom to tho Bhoro his henvy nrmy
mado him helpless In tho current Tossing tho
flowers t his frnntlc brldo with the agonizing
cry "Forgat-mo-not," ho sank from sight.
Mr. William A. Radford will nnower
questions and give advlco KIIEE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to thu
subject of building, for tho readers of this
paper. On account of his wldo experlenco
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 178 West
Jackson boulevard, Chicago, 111., and only
tacloso two-cent sUunp for reply.
Most peoplo llko to bo "a llttlo dif
ferent;" and if thoy can carry out this
idea In their homo establishment, Just
so much moro satisfaction do they
take out of llfo and Its social rela
tions. An eight-roomed house of a con
struction a little different from tho
ordinary Is shown in tho design hero
presented. This is really a combina
tion of a cottage and a two-story
house, the front and Bido gables being
olovated sufficiently to mako room for
threo bedrooms and a bathroom, with
the necessary closets, on tho second
floor. Thero is also a chance to make
a small storeroom in tho peak of tho
house over the kitchen.
Storerooms' aro needed in ovory
houso. They aro not especially im
portant for newly married folks; but
where thrift and economy receive the
cultivation that theso virtues deserve,
thero is a continual replenishing of
tho necessary, and sometimes tho un
necessary, furnishings. At certain
times In tho year, thero Is a neces
sity for furniture and belongings that
are not needed at other times. In
summer, for example, porch furniture,
such as hammocks and lawn chairs,
aro needed; but they aro In tho way
all winter, unless some'placo is pro
vided to hold them. Tho cellar is a
bad placo, becauso It is dusty where
thero Is a furnace, and damp without
ono. Tho only way to tako care of
theso summer things in the winter
tlmo is to havo a good storeroom.
Some families have several trunks,
suit cases, and other traveling para
phernalia. It is a common practice,
in a good many houses, to keep such
traps in the bedrooms; but this Is
only a makeshift plan. Those who de
pend on makeshifts fall to get as
much real enjoyment out of llfo as
they would If they used their head and
hands moro In providing conveniences
that aro not exactly common.
The Idea used to be tha,t only largo
houses could bo provided with com
forts and conveniences, that small
houses offered Just room enough for
actual necessaries, and that folks onlv
carried up to tho full height, and room
mado above for two moro bedrooms,
thus providing a ten-room house if
tho family should ever need that
much room. Thero aro very few
houses that can be altered after thoy
aro built, without Involving greater
expenso than tho alterations are
worth.. It Is not expected, as a rule,'
that a person wants to alter a house.
Thoy consult a good many plans, and
decide In tho beginning what thoy
want, and build-accordingly; but, on
tho othor hand, it is jmposslblo to
look lrto tho future.
A houso llko this is easily furnish
edanother important consideration
when building. It is possible to make
a small, well-arranged houso more
cozy and comfortable than a largor
and more expenslvo ono. A house !

too good for the home. Sometimes
things too expenslvo aro found in

Oliver Wcndoll Holmes onco said:
"I never saw a garment too flno for

king; never a house too fine to shelter
tho human head. Elegance fits a

ments in house building are fast do
ing away with such nations. In largo
cities, three or four room flats have
bath rooms, besides places . to put
things that aro not needed every day.
A flat in a respectablo neighborhood
In a city will not rent unless it has

This opinion ""d and

that he might havo had a groat deal

Bamo carpenters could easily got In

Thero Is ono other advantage In

This gets down to the bottom of

which it is used. If wo own tho llttlo
