A cottage house 35 by 81 feet is
given in this plan. This length is
sufficient to provide for good large
rooms and to arrange them very
nicely.
The location of bathroom in q
cottage has always given architects
a great deal of trouble. You don't
want bathroom near the parlor, nor
the dining-room, and it is not always
convenient to have it open off the
kitchen. Some architects solve the
problem by leaving out the bathroom
altogether, but most persons need a
bath occasionally, at least civilization
has worked at the problem a hundred
years or so, and has finally decided
that it is better to take a bath once
in awhile whether you need it or not.
A good many jokes have been sprung
to illustrate the point, and they may
have had some influence 1t any rate
we seldom see good house nowadays
without bathroom, and we never
ind person who is willing to do
without one after having once en-
1oyed the luxury. The bathroom in this
house opens off from the kitchen, but
there is also door entering from the
back bedroom, so that there are as
many advantages with as few disad-
vantages as possible in a cottage
house.
This plan is designed for a comfort
aRle home for small family. 1t may
be built in town or on a farm, and
be thoroughly satisfactory for either
There is a good cellar under the whole

Will Hold For 16 Gents.

Guthrie, o. T.-Cotton growers in
all parts Of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory held secret meetings, and
discussed the cotton market situa-
ton. 1t was decided to hold the 1907
pick until cotton prices have ad-
tanced to a certain point. The cot-
ton growers have compact organ
ization and each member is sworn to
secrecy.
1t is rumored the minimum price
at which farmers will sell was fixed
at is cents. The action of cotton
growers to hold the crop is consider
ed in favorable light by financial
concerns, as indicating that the
" furry" has not frightened planters
and that they are not in need of
ready money. The fact that the
banks viii not be called on to supply
cotton purchase funds will aid in re-
storing normal conditions. 1t is es--
timated that over 10000 bales of cot
ton will be held out of the market.

Cardinal Interested.

Cordial sympathy with the anti
tuberculosis movement was expressed
by Cardinal Gibbons in letter which
has been received by John S. Fulton,
secretary general of the international
congress on tuberculosis. The car
dinal affirmed the belief that the
white plague would ultimately be
brought under as complete control as
smallpox, yellow fever and other
scourges of humanity have been. Aft
er praising the members of the as
sSociation for their benevolent inter-
est in the cause Of humanity, the
cardinal continued: "My faith in
the ultimate checking of tuberculosis
throughout the. world is based upon
my own remembrances of that other
scourge-yellow fever-and the
change that has been brought about
through the study of the disease.
Fifty years ago, and even until recent
years, yellow fever was most dread
ed visitor in New Orleans. In one of
the epidemics of the disease / con-
tracted the fever myself. Our free
dom from anxiety, SO far as yellow
feyer Is concerned, we owe to the
men who laid down their own lives
for the benefit Of their fellow men.
There was Major Carroll, who died
only month ago after years Of suf-
fering caused by his voluntary sub
mission to incubation with yellow
fever. There was his colleague, Dr.
Lazear, who died soon after inocula-
tion. These men were genuine heroes,
and too high praise can not be be-
slowed upon them for their services
to humanity" Reviewing the present
methods of treating tuberculosis, the
cardinal continues: In connection
with the program for the interna-
tional Congress Of tuberculosis, my
attention has been called to the in
vestigations being carried on by the
men of science abroad. In France,
in spite of the materialistic avowalS
of the scientists, the activity in re-
searches, which aim at the ultimate
betterment of humanity, is marked. =

CARDINAL is INTERESTED
In Suppression of tuberculosis, Be-

BILE Relics Received.

Treasury officials are agreeably
surprised at the number of banks
throughout the country which have
already indicated their purpose TO
comply with the suggestion of the
Comptroller of the Currency Ridge
ly that additional circulation be tax
on out. A large number of kilograms
were received at the department ask
ong for additional circulation, vary
ang IN amount from a few thousand
dollars to two millions. George T..
Roberts, former director of the mint
and now president of the Commercial
National Bank of Chicago, is here,
and has engaged $2,0O0,0O0 additional
circulation for his bank. .-r-.- ..-
Sol Wexler, vice president of the
Whltney-Central National Bank Of
New Orleans, is also here and is
makig arrangements to materially in
crease his holdings. Other prominent
bankers, through Washington repre-
sentatlyes are arranging to deposit
the necessary securities preparatory
to taking out national bank notes
to the limit OF their capital stock.
The Comptroller now has in his vaults
national bank currency to the amount
of $l67,000,000, and while consider
able proportion of this amount be-
longs to banks that have already
reached their limit under the law, a
Tsrg large sum is available for banks
that carry only comparatively
small amount when compared with
their capital. One large New York
bank could, under the law, it is said,
within the next ten days outstand cir
culation, and in all probability will
soon ask for a material increase. Mr..
Ridgely expressed the opinion thai
within the next ten days outsand cir
eulation of national banks will have
been increased by from $25, 100000
to $30,0O0,000, and possibly a much
larger sum.

order to get the coin out quickly,
Fortunately, the silver coinage for the
year is we'll out of the way, enough
silver coin having already. been turn-.
ed out in anticipation of the usual
demand for it during the Christmas
holidays. The coinage of $4,000, 900.

fifths of the bullion now at the mint.

The state agents have been busy
raiding "blind tigers" and had seiz-

Final Cost of Canal.

In view Of the questions which will
be asked by the democrats in the next
session of congress, government off
cials have been figuring over the ul-
innate cost of the Panama canal. The
figures show that the ultimate cost o.
the canal will be in the neighborhood
of $246,0O0,000. This is far in excess
of the original estimates and the orig
inal sum named by congress as the
limit within which the expenditures
were to be kept. 1t is thought, how
ever, with the splendid progress made,
there will be little difficulty in having
the limit raised by congress.

Wants Rich Malefaeter.

President Roosevelt does Not like
to be criticised, No criticism of the
administration hurts him and his per-
sonal feeling more, or more precisely
no criticism exasperates more, than
the criticism which declares that he
has landed no "malefactor Of great
wealth" in Jail. He is trying hard,
using all the machinery of the govern
meAt, to put some specimen of "suc-
eessful dishonesty" in prison stripes,
and when some newspaper or public
man asks him why he does not do it
he can only writhe and impotently
grit his teeth, He is striving to
please, but he can not catch a rich
malefactor, in the classic Devery
phrase, with the goods"

Some men might be put out of work

usual. There would be no let up on

throughout the country there would
be no further signs Of panic.
