English Easement Window.
Country Life in America.

The easement window is worthy of
more general adoption here, especially
for country houses. Many advantages
may be claimed for it over the usual
narrow, pully-weight window. For
instance, the larger amount of light
and air admitted, the greater ease in
cleaning and painting, and also the i'm
provement IN the room made by franz
ing the outside world into living pic
lures for its Avalis. When the windows
are large they give to the room the
character of an inclosed yeranda or
sun parlor. Such a window is feet 6
inches by feet 8 inches. Three sashes
are used, Of twelve lights each. Each
light is 9x9 inches. These sashes cost
about $S, and the frame and carpenter
work would make the entire cost of the
window $12 or $15.
The two end sashes are hinged 10
swing back against the wall. The cen
tral sash is fastened to the frame by a
flat hinge and swings back against one
of the end sashes. It is seldom neces-
sary to open all three sashes at once.
| Buttons hold these sashes to the
frame when closed. The only objection
| to the easement window is the difficulty
| of making it stormproof. This can be
| done, however, by careful fitting.
| The three-sash window is unusual
A twosash window is more often used
with an upright bar in the frame, to
which the sashes fasten with snaI
catches.
Where the outlook is beautiful. it is
advisable to use a single-pane sash. II
less attractive, the square or diamond
shaped pane is best.

FOUNDATIONS SHALLOW
New Buildings Adjoining Old Ones Pre-
sent Serious Difficulties.

Difficulties Of construction in adjoin-
ing buildings put up twenty years or SO
ago, is illustrated in the case Of the
Minneapolis Brewing company restaur-
ant foundation being built on Fifth
street near Nicollet. The foundation
is an enormous one, running the full
depth Of the lot, thus coming in contact
with all the Nicollet avenue buildings
from the alley up to Fifth street.
John Wunder, the contractor, had to
remove all the foundation Of the struct-
ure to the north of the excavation be-
fore he could begin laying stone
Meanwhile the building had to be
shored up. The walls were only about
ten feet deep and split walls, at that
with no binding stones, while the res
taurant basement is to be seventeen
feet deep. ta .
The inspector has this week found il
necessary to order the building at 4l6
41S Nicollet shored up. This has 6
cobble foundation and presents another
difficulty to the contractor. The work
will cost about $500. a. 4

Modern Colonial Simplicity
ERNEST G. HALEY,
ohitect, sle Northwestern Building

Simplicity is the keynote Of this de-
sign for modern colonial house. There
are no fancy trimmings and ornament
has been used only in way to empha-
size the stately and dignifed effect. The
house is planned for an east frontage,
but could readily be adapted to west
frontage. .. .. s.E.
Roomy porches at the front and side
are features Of the plan and both front
and side entrances have vestibules. The
four gables Of the roof give a large,
roomy attic with large windows in each
gable. There is room for a dancing hall
or billiardroom and one or two rooms
in the attic. In the rear of the house
is a combination stairway connecting
the cellar, the first and second floors.
The front of the first floor has red
oak finish, stained golden or Flemish
in the diningroom and left natural in
the rest Of the rooms. Georgia pine is
used il the kitchen and pantry. The
second floor has finish of pine enam-
elled and birch stained mahogany doors.

now that the piling for pier footings
is about completed. Following the pile

On the Hennepin side the cut stone

So far as possible, material for the

BUYERS NOT PARTICULAR
Readiness to Invest Characteristic OF

Barring the absence of big deals in
the market the Minneapolis real estate
business is good. Dealers nearly all re-
port a fine trade in small amounts One
feature is the fact that buyers seem to
be willing to take almost anything that
has any apparent value. They want
to invest their money and want to put
it in real estate.
"We used to take customer out in
the morning to look over the property
and then spend several days in induc-
ing him to buy,'' said one agent this
week. "Now they seem hardly to
care to look the lots over.'' r
Another agent reports that one Of his
customers is buying more than he really
wants to sell him. H has put in $75, 900
and now offers to add $4,000 to his
investment.

Woman in Business.

As a general rule woman becomes
efficient in business in proportion as
she can lay aside the peculiariies
and prerogatives of her sex and be-
come to all intents and purposes mas
culine. This is not said in mitigation
of the obvious truth that indiscrimi-
nate contact with men an employment
tends to unsex woman. or in ignor-
ance of the other fact that in many
pursuits the feminine equipment fits
its possessor for finer type of service
than most men can reach. But when
ever an employees relationship 20
the work becomes complicated with
the question of her sex then there are
friction, waste and an impairment of
availability.
The moment that the business of an
Office or store has to be conducted on
the plan of a soiree there is an end
to plain speech and quick work. It
Is not enough that woman can do
the same work as man; she must be
amenable without friction to the same
rules discipline and direct method as
. man. Otherwise she stands in her
own light. Otherwise she will find
herself purchasing gallantry and pala-
yer at the cost of better pay.

Japanese PHYSICAL Culture.

Japan is the only nation OF the
world in which the whole people have
learned practical cleanliness of body,
perfect ventilation and cleanliness or
the house. Europe and America have
not yet found that the national wealth
consists of health, and that national
supremacy depends entirely upon me-
deal and hygienic righteousness. We
know but do not practice the evident
frstn that the tuberculosis problem
entirely, and those OF most other dis
eases partly, depend upon ventilation
and household cleanliness. While we
allow the characterization foolishnes5

The latest scientific discov-
cries prove that all hair and scalp
troubles-baldness, falling hair,
dandruf, itching scalp - are
caused by microbes which feed
on the fatty matter at the roots
of the hair until, through starva-
ton, the hair dies and falls out.
Gray and faded hair are due to
the same cause. The microbes
interrupt the action of the pig
ment glands. Then the hair loses
its color.

microbes, supplies food for the
