A five-room cottage that is con-
cenient and that looks neat and COM
Portable is not easily planned. There
are many difficulties in the way of
laying out living rooms and bedrooms
on one floor. Cottage house plans
have brought grey hairs to the heads
of many architects and a good deal
of comfort to the owners after they
are built and paid for.
Formerly families were not 30 hard
to please as they are at the present
time; in fact, hundred years ago
the most fastidious and exclusive of
our forefathers thought they were
quite comfortable in log cottage
having two rooms and a loft. The
front room answered for parlor, sit
ting room, bedroom and general liv-
ing room, while the kitchen did serv-
Ice for general work, comprising cook
Ing, washing and storage for wood,
vegetables and many other things. A
little round bottom table in one cor
ner did service for dining table.
This table often was made by split
ting log in the middle and inserting
lengths cut from saplings for legs in
the rounded side
Since the good old times, however,
cottage houses have passed through
Wonderful evolution. little i'm
prosement can be traced through

plans offer as much comfort and

That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valua BILE
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the un1u-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

getting in quietly, and trembling and
blushing she retreated to the kitchen
to think it over, and compose herself
for the meeting with him.
They had parted in anger, and she
scarcely knew how to receive him
now. She resolved that a little of the
concession at least must come from
Jack, since he had left her so cavalier
ly and so unkindly without just cause.
She was standing there still, bal
ancing the fork with which she had
just turned the turkey, idly in her
hand, when an arm stole around her
waist and Jacks voice, very humble
and loving, whispered in her ear:
will my Marion forgive and forget?''

voice, and turning, she shed happy

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Arerl-
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
so pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors Of
| the Regular or AIlopathic school, of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practfcing those sciences
in which the faith of SO many intelli-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has Committee on Legislation
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session Of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly if the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, a larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association,
has about $1,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their affliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and it's total assets are $751;
567.89. It's liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21, 906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate Of
about 100000 year, and the purpose
Of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compel
all of the people Of the United States
to pay a doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

Literary Criticism.

Inc common custom of that part

lied is to seclude its choicest art. prod.

money in visiting them. Japan and
some other countries, which, accord
ing to prevailing Anglo-Saxon ideas,
have not yet fully emerged from a
state OF barbarism, have made art a
part OF the common life, so that even
the humblest citizen is familiar with
