THE trouble is in tie food that the

They have not been living on that kind
of food which goes TO the making of

have had proper food, and they are

l found that they did not have enough
1000 and did not have the right kind of
food ! fed the men on the ships the
same rations as though given in the
American navy Within a year there
was a great change The men seemed
TO expand and even seemed taller.
AFTER three years proper feeding. the
men are now much nearer the standard
OF the men of the American navy and

CHAPTER XIX.
"oH. MISTER BUTLER"

Warburton had neve. lacked that
rare Ind peculiar gift OF Immediately
adapting himself TO circumstances. To
lie now would be folly, worse than
useless. He had addressed this man
at his side by his military title. He
stood committed. He saw that he must
throw himself wholly on the colonels
mercy and his sense of the humorous.
He pointed toward the stables and drew
the colonel after him; but the colonel
held back
THAT rose first; insist upon hav-
ing that rose till you have given me
satisfactory account of yourself
Warburton reluctantly surrendered
his treasure. Force of habit is pecu-
liar one. The colonel had no real
authority to demand the rose. but
Warburton would no more have
thought of disobeying than OF running
away.
You will give it back to me-"
THAT remains to be seen. Go on:
am ready to follow you. And do not
want any dragging story, either" The
colonel spoke impatiently.
Warburton led him into his room
and turned on the light. The colonel
seated himself on the edge of the cot
and lighted fresh cigar.

THE SIMPLE HOUSE.
How 1t May Be Achieved In an Easy,
 Natural Way.

The simple house must not only be simple, but it must be good. It's sim plicity is not that of mere baroness. That is something quite different. Sim plicity in house design does not mean mere denuding of ornament or it's de- liberate omission. It means tLat the house must be designed in simple way that is also beautiful. Simplicity of design is based on structural devel- opment. In the hands of the skilled de- signer these structural lines become also lines of beauty The construction, therefore, becomes beautiful construc- tion, and the simple house is achieved in natural, beautiful way.
 Fairness, severity, commonplace with simplicity. There must be artis- tic effort or the house will be con- pletely wanting in external merit. A fussy house will not necessarily be made beautiful by stripping it of it's ornament. It may be bettered-at least it will be rid of unnecessary parts. The evil is more deeply rooted than that It lies in the very bone and sinew of the house, and the remedy, if there can be remedy, must be applied to the whole structure
 Mere plainness in house building has no positive qualities of excellence. 4 house that is merely plain and with no other quality has nothing else to rec ommend it. The simple house. on the other hand, has beauty in it's simplic- ty, beauty due to it's fine lines and to the harmony of all the parts.- American Homes and Gardens.
