.1 dences were built during the year, but the majority of the homes were of less pretentious dimensions and homes for the salaried man, for the families that make up the bulk of the citlsenshlp. The Heights is coming to be more and more popular. The development of the suburb In schools and churches is making it more popular than ever, and with the expansion of the residence districts It Is made even a more desirable place In which to live. During the year Just passed the handsome brick edifice of the Presbyterian church was built and two modern brick school houses are under construction and soon to be added to the splendid high school building and the large Fraternal building. With these three schools the Heights will have, perhaps, ths lest school equipment of.

And all along the line, between Houston and the Heights and houses have been built and the distance is lined with homes all the way.

It makes a citlsenshlp solid and contented, and Inspires a local pride that a municipal achievement Itself could not produce." The sentiment has been expressed by mora than one, and it is interesting to notice 'that hone-bulldlng hns been, and is now, the larg-est of Houston. In every district of the city homes are being built Home are magnificent mansions, located on choice sites in the most exclusive residence districts; others are humble cottages in the more cosmopolitan sections. But in every case where it represents a "home," and not a rent house, it means much, not only for the family who are to dwell within, but for the community at large. ARCHITECTS BUSY, 'With only the occasional exception that proves the rule, architects declare that business Is exceptional. While no large contracts have been made within the past few weeks, there have been the numberless small contracts that constitute the most important part of a city's growth.

It Is the tall sky-acrapers and notable public buildings that are pointed out to the visitor as the marks of Interest In a city, but It Is the thousands of smaller and comparatively insignificant structures, the smaller business houses and humb'e homes of the rank and file of the people that are the actual evidences of the city's life and standing. And so, with these contracts for the less notable buildings, the architects are really planning for the larger material life of Houston. It is to prepare for the further growth of the oity, to accommodate the population that is yet to come in from the less promising fields of the North and East, and to make possible the expansion In ths shops and manufactures, and warehouses and mercantile establishments, and banks and office buildings and churches. For the home Is the foundation of the city. i OTHER THINGS, TOO.

It Is Dot to cay that there la no development In the other and more commercial development of the city's building, Houston Is growing down town even more rapidly than out In the residence districts. There Is the eight-story Stewart building, the Cargtll building, the Mosehart Keller and the Texas company buildings, all of which are actually begun. And there Is the eight-story Lumbermen's Exchange building, the hotel project, the great Union depot, all of which are itmntlT harked and will siipaIv mmm terialixe. And there is the 000,000 Toung Men's Christian building, work on which will begin within three months. downtown.

And this downtown growth, not to speak of the enlargement of manufacturing establishments and the expansion of industrial districts, means something more than its own development It means that the residence districts must develop also, and that they must develop In a ratio exactly commensurate with the commercial and Industrial buildings development, else there will fall to be that perfect balance which makes the city what It ought to be, "In rental business we did more last year than ever before." said one firm. And yet me associations and those companies that make a specialty of home building report that they accomplished more in their Hue qf work during UM than during r.ny previous twelve months In the history of tnelr business in Houston.

The year before seventy houses were erected by this company, showing by comparison something of the increased demand for homes In 19us over that of 190. The record of fifty-two weeks' business by this one company means more than on the face of it appears. It doesn't signify merely that 104 building sites' in various sections of Houston have been occupied by new built houses during the year, or that the business of the Wilson Realty company has Increased nearly 1110 per cent More far-reaching and more important to the well being of the city of Houston is the fact that 104 families came into their own homes during the year as the result of the activities of one company alone, and that this was nearly double the number served by the same concern during the same length of time the previous year. is repre'sentativb.

Perhaps It would be interesting to note how this bir home-buHdine buainesa la conducted Everything is done by the company itself. It Is at the same time architect carpenter, real estate dealer. Nothing la done by outsiders.

Everything Is done by the company Itself, from the furnishing of the the (planning and erection of the bouse, to the minutest detail of the sale. The building activity of the concern la not regulated by the demand at the time. "We go ahead building houses," said Mr, Wilson, "keeping a. two crews constantly at work." At one time last summer forty houses located In various ftectlons of the city were finished and un occupied. The company entered upon a vigorous advertising campaign, and Post ada always bring results.

Costs Nothing To Try. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal la the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cteaumis purpnm. Charcoal is a remedy that the nun take of It the better; It la not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of ths system. Charcoal sweetens after drinking or after eating onions and ouier odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion, it whiten the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.

It absorbs the Injurious gases which collet in the stomach and bowels; It disinfects tiie mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.

The Rice home was the synonym for hospitality; not of the brand of which we hear so much today, which, to challenge acceptance, must be ''ktegloved, glossed with gold and assured of an equivalent," but the old-fashioned.

Southern hospitality! Always on "lending terms with neighbors," and which ever had "an open door, a place at the board, and a rea-retfut good-bye" even for the veriest Stranger. To the young men who had left home and friends to seek their fortunes In Texas the Rice home was ever open and there are many gray-headed men In Texna today who will recall with grateful hearts the Hours spent in the home made happy by her warm greeting and motherly sympathy. Once to a young man, newly arrived "from the 8tates," who was relating to her his mother's fear that he might get sick and suffer for proper attention, I. heard her "Tell your mother there are mothers In Texas, and should you be siok I'll nurse you." Whst a messkge of assuring love to send to the old, far away mother. What, an index to the great mother-heart of this peerless woman.

But It was not only In her home ana by friend snd guest, that the beautiful. Influence wielded by this good woman, was. felt, the peer and needy never applied to her without receiving a store from her generous hand; she' ministered to the sick and the afflicted; for those In trouble she had tender sympathy and sweet consolation, which never fulled to have its effect: In facf. her every thought, and word and deed, stripped of all selfish Was of others, for others. Pity is hat as te such characters the law of nature.

Which requires their away, can not be suspended and they be bid to live forever, examples of truth and strength snd beauty, to point the way most, worthy to be followed to all mankind.

1 r-rreparatlons for the erection of the new four-story building far ths Texas company at the corner of San Jacinto and Rusk streets are under way. Ths plant are in the hands of the architects, and' the property Is being cleared of the dwelling housea It Is expected that active construction will be started on the building at an early date, with the expectation of completing it In the early summer. As has been heretofore stated In The Post, the Texas company will move its headquarters to Houston and direct the operations of its extensive business from this city. About forty families will be brought. here by the move, and all of them will have to have homes, which will act as a stimulus to residence property.

The Texas company will begin active construction of Its pipe line from the territory to connect with its Ramble line at an early It Is ascertained that the company has now a surveying force In the fieldse-' looting the route, while the matter of securing the right to run through the territory lias been talked over with the secretary of the Interior. The construction and operation of this line will Involve something like tS. 000.000. When the line Is completed It will virtually run from the territory to Houston, inasmuch as It will connect at Humble with the line to this city, and will probably be -extended to Long Reach, on the ship channel, where the company has a station. It will make Houston the oil center or the distributing point for the Texas company, and that means that the other large oora-panles will eventually establish their headquarters here and operate from here.

The official badges ot the Texas Woman's Press association, the design. lor which was agreed upon St the annual meeting of the association at El Campo, Texas, lost June, are bow on sale to members of the Texas Woman's Press association by Mr. L. Lech-; engrr, 41 Main Houston, Texas. A number -of designs were submitted for the one chosen was ths 1 neat pin now on sale by Mr.

The members of the aHROi-iatlon will be pled to know that the badges are on sals. The prl Is Si cents. This notification Is pro 1 with a par derful good, but In my opinion It -falls to -meet the ends now demanded by our great city, and In addition thereto or as a substitute I think Houston should have every fall a first-class fair, on 'a large scale, and second to none held In the South. The directors of the Texas State Fair made their report on the annual Stale fair held in October of the current year. The total earnings of the fair were shoWn by the financial statement to be $206,750.78.

The total expenditures were showing a net profit of H00.713.0. If the. State Fair assooiation alone could net this great profit a bountiful harvest Indeed must have been fathered by the business institutions of hat city. Why should Dallas or any other city In Texas eclipse our Houston? We have the advantage naturally, and It seems to roe that the time Is now ripe to prepare, for a Greater Houston. We can do this.

We do not need outside help. Let us bring together the farmer and the merchant, the laborer and the manufacturer, the country" and the city. Let us bring the to see the city, and at the same time him to bring with him some of his. best produce, his poultry and his pigs. So also bring the stockman- with his finest horses, cattle and sheen, the truckgrower with his vegetables and fruit, and all others to show us what they are doing, and while they are here let us show them what our manufactories, our mills, our mechanics and our merchants are doing.

Bring together all trades and professions, each-' with sample of his skill and labor, each proudly showing the results of his efforts, and you furnish the greatest Incentive on "earth for better things. Create a mutual Interest between the country and the sity, each interested In and. proud of the success of the other, and you benefit both. There Is a point where Houston must stop growing unless the country Is also built up with her. Give to the farmer, ths the stockman and all others a place to show their 'products, and each w(JI try to excel.

The results, of their efforts will be seen by outsiders and visitors to our great State, andf thus will Increase Immigration to county, and soon will the fertile prairie lands surrounding Houston be one continuous farm, All these things can, I think, be Jaecom- 11 shed by ths organization of a South Texas 'air association for Houston, and with capital stock large enoueh to put up a flrst-clas; fslr to be held Is Houston every fall, and I here assert that in my Judgment the stock In such an Institution will pay as food dividends as sny In our city.
