such moves have resulted in the IN
timely death of a great many farmers.
We cannot blame a mar for making a
change If he thinks he can improve
his circumstances and place his fam
lily in a better position, but 80 times
out of 100 it would be better to i'm
prove the farm than to undertake a
radical change.
A house like this. however, is Just
as suitable for the farm as it is for
the village. There are three bedrooms
and a good bathroom. The dining
room is large enough for most farm
tables and there is a neat little parlor
with a fireplace in it that is quite sep
arate from the rest of the house. The
younger members of the family would
soon find out what this room is good
for. There would be an open fire
chilly evenings ana there would be
room for other young folks from the
immediate neighborhood. The girls
would find how to make this room at
tractive. The large front window
would require some of their attention
and they would get It dressed up to
their liking. Girls like to do such
work, and it is a good plan to leave it
almost entirely to their ambition and
good taste.

the cause of the trouble until one day

US some Postum and told US to try
that.
although we started to make 1t,
we all felt sure we would be sick ii

GOOD coLoRs FOR HOUSES.

1t is not generally known-not ever
among painters-why certain tint:
and colors wear much better than
others on houses, and the knowledge
Of just what tints are best to use is
therefore, rather hSzy.
One writer on paint, IN a recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the sun,
will protect a house better than those
which allow these rays 10 pass
through the film.
Thus red is a good color because il
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, 50 far as wear is concerned. In
choosing the color of paint for your
house, select reds, browns, grays
and olives which, considering the va,
rious tones these tints will produce,
will give a wide range from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows (like lemon, cold green's
like grass green, etc,), and the blues,
1t must be understood that no vir,
tue is claimed for tints In themselves,
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. Any color will fade, and
the paint will scale off, If adulterated

A great many farmers are moving TO

these two questions very carefully be-
fore selecting a site to build. There
are a great many objections to living
in a village that present themselves
as time moves along, The worst home
sick men | ever knew were farmers
who had enjoyed the freedom of coun-
try life until their habits were fixed
and who afterwards, through a mis-.
taken idea Of comfort in their old age,
have abandoned the farm and moved
to town. 1t is different with men who
have established a bushes in early
life and grown accustomed to more or
less cramped surroundings.
So long as a man remains on the
farm he Is an influential citizen; he is

Marathon Run To Boston.

Ashland, Mass, April ia large
crowd was assembled near the bridge,
Ashland, when the great Marathon
Race under the auspices of the Boston
Athletic Association started there at
noon today. At the crack Of the pistol
in the hands Of the starter he runners
started down toward the depot, each
one accompanied by a bicycle rider,
who has orders to assist the runner to
whom he is assigned in every possible
way, should he become disabled or be
compelled for some reason or other to
drop out Of the race. Every man
whose strength should give out, will
be put on board Of a train or trolley
car and sent home under escort Of his
cyclist companion.
The course for the race. which is
about twenty-five miles long, runs
from the startin" point toward the
depot. across the tracks Of the rail
road, and in an almost straight line
through South Framingham, Natick,
Wellesley, Newton Lower Falls, past
the large sign boards, through the
Newtons, Chestnut Hill, past the Re-
servior, through Beacon street, into
Exeter street and finishing at the
Boston Athletic Club house.
The runners, more than fifty Of
whom started this noon, all seemed to
be in good physical condition, but it
is expected that great many of
them will drop out before having cov-
cred the entire distance. Prizes will
be given to the first eight men and a
souvenir each to the following twenty
five men who may finish after the
prize winners. Souvenirs will also be
presented to each caretaker Of all
contestants being placed.
