W HO doesn’t enjoy the fresh air of 
summer, pure and exhilarating! 
Little wonder folks dread the coming of 
winter with its continuous procession of 
dangerous diseases! Yet how easily they 
can enjoy a summer atmosphere through¬ 
out the winter. 
The “stuffiness” of a home in winter is due to 
stagnation and overheating of the air, which is 
further devitalized by occupancy,—a result quite 
unavoidable with the average methods of heating. 
But this undesirable and unhealthy condition 
is entirely overcome with the FarOuar Heating 
and Ventilating System. FarQuar principles 
eliminate fire poisons, prevent devitalization, 
remove personal contamination, and flood your 
home with an invigorating atmosphere that is 
pure and fresh, yet comfortably warmed to a 
uniform temperature throughout the entire house. 
The result means increased vitality, better 
health, and greater happiness,—all without addi¬ 
tional cost. 
Gel the real story of heating efficiency

Control, told in an instructive booklet 
sent free to home owners and builders.

FLOWERS BY 
U PON the meadows the sun plays 
with the yellow flowers of the golden 
rod as if it desired to impress upon these 
blooms its last loving rays of sum¬ 
mer; while the white canopy of the wild 
carrot, which partially cover the grasses 
of the field, brings a suggestion of 
the coming winter’s snow. It will 
not be long before the foliage of the 
trees glow in fiery splendor, for autumn 
will soon be here. Then the gaydy^ 
painted leaves, fluttering so daintily in 
the air, will become a plav'thing of the 
storm. Stripped from their airy sup-

port, they" reach the ground tattered, 
torn, and mutilated. But their time has 
not yet come. 
Along the wayside paths the asters 
are in flower. Some are slender, carry¬ 
ing but few lilac colored flowers on the 
tips of their widely branching shoots 
as in the spreading aster. Aster patens, 
while the white woodland aster, A. diva- 
ricatus, with its loosely formed hunches 
of white flowers seems to hug the ground 
as if afraid to penetrate the roadside 
underbrush. Asters are everywhere;

Frostweed aster, A. eri- 
coides, has white flowers 
and grows in dry places 
One of the finest of the 
wild asters is the pur¬ 
plish A . amethystinus 
Its cousin, . 1 . divaricatiis, 
has a larger though much 
more loosely formed flower 
The showiest of the asters 
is the very familiar laven¬
