Can’t we help you in 
Developing Your 
Property? 
I have recently purchased, for my mother and 
myself, a very modest ($3700) little home, which I 
wish to improve with shrubbery, trees, and flowers to 
the extent of my physical and financial ability, both of 
which are limited. Before attempting anything l want 
to have the whole project planned, with the idea of 
carrying it out gradually, exactly the same as if I were 
building a house, so that when the work is finally 
completed there will be a harmonious whole rather 
than a hodge podge of this, that, and something else. 
If 1 am correct in my understanding that you are glad 
to assist your readers in matters of this kind, you will 
be doing a mere man a very great service by giving 
him the benefit of your knowledge.” 
T HE rest of the letter—a close page and 
a half of it—was all figures, and sen¬ 
tences beginning “I want.” He knew that 
fall was the time to plant, and he had some 
mighty good ideas, that mere man, but they 
didn’t run much to botanical names. 
We wrote a letter longer than his, commencing with 
the arborvitae along the alley, considering in detail 
the hedge of spirea van Houttei with the centre arch 
of pink Dorothy Perkins roses, the clump of white 
birch, the shrubs against the foundation, and the gay 
beds of canterbury bells, and larkspur, and colum¬ 
bines, and foxglove, and iris, and phlox. 
You may be fonder of linens than you are of lark¬ 
spur, and your yearnings may be all toward furniture 
rather than foxgloves. But whatever you want to know 
about the management of your house, your garden, 
your grounds,—try asking us. 
The Information Service is here to handle all the 
problems that aren’t solved in the magazine. You 
have the benefit of getting your advice conversation¬ 
ally, with your side of the question put first. We have, 
right at our New York doors, the best architects, deco¬ 
rators, shops and shoppers, gardeners, and landscape 
artists. Their advice is at your disposal whether your 
questions involve a large outlay or a small one. Next 
time you don’t know what to buy, or where to put it 
when you have it, ask:

Nature’s “First Aid” for Pain 
There is a new and. better way to re¬ 
lieve pain—yet the principle is as old as 
Nature. You know the soothing and 
healing effect of a sun bath. The THER- 
MOL1TE reproduces the action of sunlight 
by a scientific arrangement of a special 
electric lamp in a reflector so designed that 
the radiant light and heat rays penetrate 
the tissues. This relieves pain by remov¬ 
ing congestion and increasing the circu¬ 
lation of the blood in the affected parts.

“SAFE as SUNLIGHT” 
Used in all Gov't Hospitals and 
Cantonments 
This simple, safe and modem, method 
is far more efficient, convenient and quick¬ 
er than any superficial application of heat, 
such as hot water, poultices, etc., for the 
treatment of muscular soreness, backache, 
stiff neck, neuralgia, sprains, bruises and 
the numerous little ailments so common in 
every home. THERMOLITE is always 
ready—simply attach it to any electric 
light socket. Costs only two cents an hour 
to operate. 
No Magic — No Mystery — No Drugs 
Just Plain Common Sense. 
Actions speak plainer than words— 
won't you give THERMOLITE an oppor¬ 
tunity to demonstrate its usefulness in 
your home? It will probably help you; it 
certainly won’t harm you—and if you 
don't want to keep THERMOLITE, your 
money will bo cheerfully refunded. 
Write us for details or send $9.00 on the 
above basis for THERMO LITE , com¬ 
plete. Sold by surgical and electrical 
supply dialers everywhere.
