Mr.. Andrus will make $4,000 on his in
vestment in five years. 1t was said this
week, also by another investor, that as
soon as the first story Of the new gar
age for the Moulton-J ordan Motor Car
company is up the property will have
doubled in value. 1t is interesting to
note, as showing that the advancing
prices of Minneapolis property comes to
a large extent from the demand, that
another investor was on hand to pay
earnest money on the same property
within a short time after the close of
the deal.
: To have rooms more accessible for
his patrons and to enable him to meet
the requirements of growing business,
Lowell A. Lamoreaux, the architect, has
moved from the eleventh floor of the
Lumber Exchange to the fifth floor, di-
rectly in front of the elevator shaft,
rooms 516-517. Hehas here morelight and
better opportunity for aesthetic effects
in arrangement, which he has utilized
fully. The general design is gothic.
The rooms are finished and furnished in
brown Flemish oak. The wainscot and
panels are of oak studded with large
,brass-headed nails The walls are lined
with old gold burlap. Tables and chairs
correspond and the chandeliers are Of
antique brass with globes in gold and

the easiest for the housekeeper to keep
clean, writes Maria Partoa in the La
dies Home Journal.
The ideal house, as far as the ease
with which it can be kept clean and
sanitary is concerned. is one that has
well-made, smooth floors; woodwork
without grooves or carving, and finished
in the natural color, or stained and oiled
or vanished, the ceilings either in hard
finish or calcimined; the walls covered
with a fairly smooth material like
paper, burlap,. grass-cloth,. etc: The
and bathrooms should be painted, tiled,
or covered with tile paper or other ma
terial that may be washed.
The furniture should be without Orna-
mentation; quality and good lines are
important. The less upholstered furni-
ture there is, the better. Comfortable
and elegant chairs, davenports, etc., can
be found in rattan and wood. Cushions
covered with suitable materials e i've, the
required note of color.
Bedroom Furnishings.
The furnishing Of the bedroom is of
the first Importance. In this room,
where so many hours are spent in sleep,
have only such furnishings as are nee
essary for comfort and convenience.
An enameled or brass bedstead with
firm springs that will not sag under the
weight Of the body, a good mattress,
washable blankets and Sheets. generous
as to length, are the most important
parts of the furnishing of this room.
For the floor have three fair-sized rugs
to place by bed, bureau and washstand.
Many small ornaments in room double
the time necessary for cleaning it.
A house thus simply finished and fur
nished will require about half the time
and strength to keep it clean that
would one furnished with carpets and
ornate furniture. OF course there must
be some rugs for the floors. The daily
care Of the floors is simple. In rooms
that are in constant use wipe the bare
part with dust-mop.. It will not take
more than five minutes for an ordinary
room. When the rugs are dusty go over
them with carpet sweeper. The small
ones may be taken outdoors, swept and
aired. This is important with bedroom
rugs.
The time and strength required fol
this daily care are slight. There is nc
moving of heavy furniture, and compar
atively no dust raised to settle all over
the room.

Shower Baths Replace Tubs.

ldDl6 Idlk.
Bath tubs will soon become obsolete.
Shower baths are taking their place,
and have become SO popular that no
really up-to-date house is considered
complete without one. All the new
apartments have them as matter Of
course.
To battle in the old-fashioned way by
getting into tub full of water is not
only no longer the proper thing, but is
actually considered untidy. How can
one emerge perfectly clean and fresh
from water in which one has been scrub
bling the body9
The ideal "tub' is the shower needle
bath, and the way to take it Is to turn
on a gentle shower, while lathering the
body with soap rubbed plentifully on a
bath brush. This done, increase the
shower thru the hotwater faucet, let
ting the streams come hotter and hotter
until the water can no longer be borne.
Then gradually cool It of, close the hot
water faucet altogether, turn on a
deluge of cold, revel in it for few sec
onds, and jump out for vigorous appl-
cation of towels. Here you have the
body soaped, rinsed, steamed, cooled
and invigorated in such a way as the
devotees Of the old-fashioned tub never
dreamed of.

Lowell A. Lamoreaux is drawing the
plans for the new Bintliff Manufacture
ing company on the East Side. The
structure will measure 50x125 feet and
will be three stories high, of brick ex,

be either mill or Of fireproof material:
Mr.. Bintliff has chosen site On Central
avenue east of Seventh street. Figures
will be asked in short time. The cost
will be about $4,000.
The two large building permits of
the week make total Of $4,000. One
for 100000 covers the Plaza family
hotel, to be built at 17001710 Henne-

other, for $4,000, is the estimated cost
of a brick machine shop and warehouse
to be built by the Washburn Crosby
company on the canal near Seventh ave-
