general impression that corrosive sub Innate is extremely dangerous as a house hold disfnfectant; but this Is scarcely reasonable. In view of the fact that fatal dose for an adult would be at least quarter of pint of the solution
 Probably the best course after a case of contagious illness Is to take the paper from the walls and then have the wood. work. floors and walls and every portion of the interior of the room scrubbed with corrosive sublimate solution. After this the limewash may be applied to the walls, the more effeetuaIly to seal up and de- stroy any germ that might be hidden in the creviees of the plaster. If this is done, the danger is reduced to a minl- mum, but it must be absolutely thorough and all articles used in the room must be looked after with equal care. No halfway measures are permissible in cases of this kind

Designed by Chas. s. Sedgwick, Architect, Minneapolis,
 Minn.

The size of this all-year-around bun galow home is 26 feet in width by 43 feet in depth, including the front piazza. The cottage is covered with a low-pitched gable roof from front to rear. with a long sweeping curve at the caves, and wide projected corniees, showing timbers. The front gable Is brought forward over the piazza with wide projected corniees supported on heavy timber brackets, giv- ing 1t the Swiss appearance. The exte- rior Is sided from the top of the cobble- stone foundation up to the top of win dows, from this point to the plate on each side of the house and in the gables, the surface is divided into panels by small beams and finished between with rough cast cement. The entire treatment is simple and inexpensive. The founda- ton wall above the grade Is built of rock face stone, either native boulders, range or cement blocks, and Is carried around onto the front piazza, and fn- isbed with neatly cut stone cap and a cement floor over the piazza. There are iron pipe rails to the piazza with chains suspended underneath.
 The entrance is through a central yes. tibule into the living room, 12 feet by 14 feet, back Of which is the dining room. On the left are two bedrooms each with

The Care of Clothing.

The proper care of clothes is little un-
 derstood by the average man. while It's value Is conceded by all. The time spent on apparel In keeping 1t fresh and clean and free from creases is wei! expended. Clothes well kept last much longer than clothes on which no attention Is be- slowed.
 All coats should be hung up by "shoul- ders'-bent pieces of wood or wire, with long. stout wire hook in the center. By this means all the weight of the coat is borne in the right way and the coat ts not dragged out of shape There are also patent hangers or presses for trou- sers whose use Is to be commended. If one has not these devices. one should fold the trousers properly and lay them In the bottom of long drawer. A sheet of paper should be put in between each pair of trousers. In lightweight suit ings, such as homespuns. it Is much bet ter to lay them out fat than to hang them up. The longer the rest which clothes have the more likely they will be to retain their original shape. Heavy ar tlelesi such as big punches of keys, bulky pocketbouks. -etc.- should never be car ried in pockets-they stretch the clothes out of shape.
 :. It is not very difficult to take care of hats, yet there Is nothing that will show the lack of care sooner than headwear Stin hats and soft hats should be brush ed with soft brushes. Soft hats may be put away so that they rest on the brIm and all the creasing should be taken cut of the crown before the hat Is put away All boots and shoes when not in use should be kept on trees

Hints On Health. .

NeryOIs PrOstration.-Neuras
 or nervous prestration. Is simply exhaus-
 ton of the nervous vitality. and is pro-
 daeed by any conditions which draw un-
 duly on the patients strength Overwork.
 worry. lack of sleep, with over or under
 feeding, uhhygienie living. etc. are the
 usual causes.
 The only treatment of neurasthenia
 which promises good results Is the hygie-
 mic. I've meals a day should be taken
 of light nutritious food, consisting large
 ly of fruits, nut foods and cereals
 half-pint of hot water one hour before each meal and free water drinking be- tween meals will be beneficial. Little or no fluids, however, should be taken with
 meals. This treatment, with proper
 baths. light. exhilarating outdoor exer- else and freedom from worry will usually would. of course. depend upon the pecu- liarities of the ease. but these directions indicate the general plan.
 For the Face.-Every night. before going to bed a short time should be de- voted to the facial bath. If the skin be impregnated with blackheads and pim- pies. rub in well a little olive or sweet almond oil, allowing 1t to remain on about 10 minutes. Wash of in hot. boiled water and pure soap. using plenty of friction. Rinse In hot water until all traces of soap have been removed. Then dash on plentffuliy cold water In which pinch of soda has been dissolved.
 few drops of benzoin added to the water makes milky fragrant bath, and acts as tonic and whitener to the skin. Dry the face thoroughly upon a soft towel. rubbing upward and backward to- wards the ear. If the skin feels at all harsh, finish with tiny bit of cold cream to replace the natural oil removed by the does not require the cream and subse- quent massage, but 1t Is of Indispensable value to an aging face.
 Burning sugar.-rhe custom of burning sngar in q sick room is very current among all classes in France, but up to the present has been regarded by scientists as one of those. harmless and useless practices which are rather toler- ated than Insisted upon by the medical profession. But NJ. Trillat. of the Pas teuf Institute, declares that formic aide hyde is given off by burning sugar. and Is one of the most antiseptic gases known. Frye dratns of sugar having been burned under 1o-liter bell glass, the yapor was allowed to cool. Vials containing the baeilll of typhoid, tuberculosis, carbon. etc, were then introduced Within half an hour every mi"robe hGd succumbed. Again, If sugar be burned in a closed yes sel containing rotten eggs or putrfd meat the disagreeable smell disappears Nj Trillat aff1rms that the formic aldehyde combines with the gases given of by the putrid animal matter. and renders them in0dorous.

It Is well when ordering a new suit for fall or winter to have the tailor make q pair of spats also. There is no more com fortable thing for the foot than low shoes and welihtting spats in chilly weather
 Button boots are very largely going out of fashion. They are boot to wear iE the spring or summer more than iu wlg- ter and are essentially boots for city wear. The lace boot Is very popular. and the style Is still for a moderately rounded toe. and the palmer the boot the more stylish 1t Is considered.
 Whether the fall will bring with It tho summer style of wearing colored boot lnces remains to he seen. black and white or eolored lace looks smart euoGgh wth a low shoe. but in haze boot would hardly have good effect.

Masculine Modes.

The advance styles and colors for fall fashions are just about coming out at some of the smarter taitors. But there Is as yet little change from the colors and fashions of the year. It is the time for radical changes h overcoatings and foot wear. but not for men's wear generally, and decidedly not for sUitlngs and suits. Sometimes the fall or carly winter brings with 1t q slight change In dress suits or walstcoats or collars or ties, and occas. .onally in hats. Hatters certain ly advertise "the new fall shape and so on, but 1t is only next month that will see the style in hats change. If. Indeed. itwlll chauge.
 The curly fall showing of cOlors brings with 1t fine display of grays. more so than has been seen for some years. All shades of gray from fairly light shade to q dark will be stylish. Brown, alsoKin all shades, wifi also be fayorites with good dressers. The brown that appears to ne the most liked is the lighter or ruddier color and the tobacco shades. Green and blue and purple are taking rather hack seat, although they are prominent enough iI mixtures. which are holding tiIeiF own strongly. The zebra stripe effect has largely fallen of in the new suitings, ai- though stripes still hold their own as against any check effect The small ehecK hus seen It's day for sometime to come Much of the striping fin the new suitings is of the almost inyisible kind. This Is proof that the colors blend to perfection, for on close examination the stripes ure very apparent. e
 Sack suits will be of quite the same cut as the simmer ones. excepting that tii,, i. l,xl., Vests will be cut high or low to the taste of the individual, but a medium policy Is being carried out by the best taiiors. The vest. however, will just show itself when the cont Is buttoned. The wearing of white slips. except with black or very dark suits, will not be general this fall, but instead there will be great variety of fancy vests of all sorts of ma terial and of All sorts of bright colors ns the season advances. At present the fa- vorite color for the fancy vest seems to be terra cottu. with white binding if worn with brown clothes or blue braid If worn with gray.
 A very striking coat for n business suit this. fan Is a tail coat of colored -mater.al. tweed or any rough sulting. It has three to four buttons The tails are short, but the skirt Is full and round and there are pockets In the side.
 It Is not eFety man that can wear coat such as this and look just right Be fore having one made 1t would be well to consult ones tailor for his opinion
 The rush in the tailoring trade Is just about to begin. Next week there will be definite styles for the new fall overcoats. The oyercoatings are. like the suitings, gray and brown ln color. And more gray than brown. The s yle promises to be long and loose for the general run of overeoats. but the t ylit-httihg frock or Newmarket overcoat will also have place on the list. H
 In footwear the low shoe still holds its own very comfortably and will be much worn with gniters or spats. either drab or of the same celor or material as the suit.
