A GOOD CELLAR.
Conditions Which Must Be Secured to
Have II Frost and Heat Proof.

Those who contemplate building, or
those who have poor cellars, Will DO
we'll to consider carefully the essen
tials of a good cellar A good cellar
must be cool in summer and proof
against freezing in winter. Therefore,
depth is an important point-a deep
cellar meeting both these require
ments. AS we go deeper beneath the
surface there is tendency towards
equalization of temperature. In the
northern portions of the United States
frost seldom penetrates more than
four or five feet; While in summer the
subsoil at three feet deep remains at
about 60 degrees temperature during
midsummer heat.
A cellar under house is not only
necessity in most cases, but is, IN
the colder portions of the country,
great help in keeping the house warm
in cold weather A house with eel
lar beneath will require less coal for
maintaining living temperature than
house without one Is cellar with
cement floor warmer in summer than
one with the natural earth? Some
say so. AS far as cleanliness and rat
proof conditions are concerned, ce-
ment makes the ideal floor for a eel
lar. Since the warmth of cellar in
winter and its GOODNESS in summer
are largely dependent upon the tenn
perature of the soil beneath the cellar,
it follows that the floor should consist
of a material that is good conductor.
Rock, and with this we may class
cement, is a better conductor than
sand or clay, and hence makes bet
ter aoor. The bottom of a cellar
should be dry, and dry sand or clay
is a poor conductor, and should be
covered with cement; thus the soll
beneath will remain moist, while the
cement surface will be dry, thus full.
filling both temperature and sanitary
requirements. Owing to unevenness
of the ground surface, it sometimes
happens that a considerable portion
of the cellar wall must be exposed on
the outside. Here the wall should
be built double, or be protected by an
earth embankment. | knew of eel
liar of this kind which would freeze
every winter A retaining wall OF
rough stone was laid up four or five
feet from the cellar wall and the in
teryening space filed with earth. So
much of a help did this prove to be
that the same cellar did not freeze in

tar to make the cellar as tight as pos
sible.
Small windows answer for ventilat-
ing purpose for the greater portion OF
the year. In the coolest weather very
little if any ventilation is needed, the
temperature being so low that no fer
mentation is taking place to any ex'
tent. In the heat of summer windows
should be opened only at night. AT
that season a ventilating fue Is use

Fashion is turning her attention to
childrens garments, and importations
in this direction show distinct and
separate influences for the two sexes.
For boys, English styles are eminent
ly the thing, while for maids, hats,
coats and gowns must express the
Partisan touch. Even with garments
made in this country, London's taste
stamps the boy thing, and smart
mammas will spend much time ia
choosing the correct English and
Scotch textures, which are first choice
everywhere for masculine wear.
For the younger boy the linen col

North Dakota Solves the Adulteration
Problem.

Problem.
North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan if any ole wishes
to buy mixture of rock-dust, ground
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But if they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white lead"
In ali other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little - sometimes no - real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
err, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.

ENTERS THE RACE
He is Candidate for AttOr-
ney General.
YOUNG MAN OF ABILITY
AS Chief Dispensary Investigator He Has
Made GOOd.-.Iie VIII Oppose the
Dispensary System.

Columbia, June 18.-Mr. j. Frazer
Lyon, chief dispensary Investigator,
who, perhaps, has done more than any
other one man to brand the dispensary
grafters, and who, with Senator Chris
tensen has borne the brunt of the inves-
tigation for the past year, has filed his
pledge with State Chairman Willie
Jones as candidate for attorney gen
eral. His action is in response to let
tiers from all parts of the state urging
him to.make the race. Mr.. Lyon is a
young man, and is comparatively re-
cent entry into the political arena, but
he has conducted this investigation with
energy, courage and ability, though he
not only did not seek the place on the
committee, but sought to avoid being
appointed. Mr.. Lyon has not been
identified with the Tillman faction, but
before this investigation began he was
an advocate of the dispensary system,
believing from his observation of condi-
tions in Abbeville, that this was the
sensible solution of the problem. 1t is
understood now, however, that he will
advocate abolition of the system.
