Item.
Come, crank your swift auto and jump
to the wheel.
We need all the strength of it's quiv-
ering steel.
For forty-five horses are gone in the
night,
And we must give chase to the robbers
in flight.
If forty-five horses are stolen and gone
A motor of sixty should catch them by
dawn,
And Wen run down the thieves as
they gallop away
And string them up as they do in the
play.
Across the "pray-rare-ree" we buoy

With wheels that scarcely seem to stay

The sparker is working with perfect

The piston is doing much better than

fit all the little angles and corners of this
class of work. The same principle applies
to the exterior work, While the writer
does not advocate designing all homes in
a severely plain boX-like manner, there are
50 many people who must positively bring
the cost Of their house within a certain
figure that 1t is well for such people to
bear these facts in mind and approximate
them as closely as practical for purely
economical reasons,
If the cost of the house is not limited,
that is a different story. Under these
circumstances a man would usually have
a good sized piece of property to start
with, on which he can spread his house
out as suits his taste and requirements.
Few people give the attention to the pur-
chasing of the lot that the Importance Of
such a purchase merits. About all they
know, or thin they know, is that the lot
should be level and If there are children in
the family that it would be near a school,,
also convenient TO some car line. 1t does
not occur to them hat some of the most
beautiful spots in Minnesota can be found
just outside of the cities where enc can OBJ
tain acres for what they would pay for a
single city lot with the car lines now
within a few blocks that will extend much
further in due time. The same conven-
fences as to light and telephone can
be had in such places with only a slight in
convenience in the water supply and the
disposing of the sewerage, a condition which
every man has to contend with who builds
In a small city, and seldom thinks any
thing of it. As long as a man has to take
a street car it should make little difference
to him if the ride is a little longer and the
advantages over city location in a thickly
populated district are considered. The
children of a suburban home may have
a little farther TO go to school,, but the
uncontamlnated pure air which they
breathe on the way will more than make
up for the Inconvenience of the distance.
A good designer can plan a home for any
location, but he can give a man a great
deal more for his money in the way of q
convenient arrangement if he is not con-
fined to the requirements of a city lot
and can make a much more attractive
home if he is able to associate that home

the microbe of the common cold is not al

sary first to discover the identity OF tho

The writer in the Journal quotes DIR.

not usually contracted from other persons,
but that a chill affords to microbes al

lions favorable to their activity by alter

they would recognize the advantages of
a system of REORGANIZATION. When
this time arrives / would advise the COM
pan to place telephones free of charge
for q specified period in a few of the
principal shops. SO as to offer 90 those
h~ouseholders who work with the central
office the additional advantages of oral
communication with their tr~adespeople.
The central office system, once inaug-
urated in this manner, would inevitably
grow to enormous proportions, for these
shopkeepers would thus be induced to
employ the telephone, and as such con-
n~ections with the central office increased
in number SO would the advantages to
householders become more apparent, and
the number OF subscribers be increased.
Should this plan ever be adopted the
company should employ a man in each
central office for the purpose of connect
ing the wires as directed. \ fixed an
nual rental could be charged for the use
of the wires, or a toll could be levied. AS
all connections would necessarily be made
at the central office, it would be easy to
note the time during which any wires
were connected and to make a charge ac-
c~ordingly. Bills could be sent in periodi-

ably be something enormous.
In conclusion, / would say that 1t

Immediately be brought prominently be-
fore the public as a means of communi-
cation between bankers, merchants, man
ufacturers, wholesale and retail dealers,
dock companies, water companies, police
offices, fire stations, newspaper offices,
hospitals and public buildings, and for
use in railway offices, in mines and OPP
erations.
Arrangements should also be speedily
concluded for the use OF the telephone in
the army and navy and by the Postal
Telegraph department.
Although there is a great field for the
telephone in the immediate present. ! be-
lieve there is still greater in the future.
by bearing in mind the great object
to be ultimately achieved, / believe that

WHAT ARE DOCTORS DOING?
About Time for Medical Science Ia
Abate "~ScOurge of the

lens In disease, TO abate a distressing
malady which has been aptly designated
"the scourge OF the north" In every

The PrnctIcnI snuare Hou.e.


The easiest house to plan and the cheap
est to build is what we term a square
house, meaning a house under one un-
broken roof with as few breaks in the
wall as possible. For the man who builds
ON an acre of ground it is not necessary to
plan his house within a single rectangle
and many pleasing effects are obtained
in the English domestic style by planning
the house somewhat rambling in appear
ance. For the average city lot not ex-
ceeding seventy-five feet in width, a house
planned within a single rectangle is de-
cidedly the most practical, especially if
the broad side of the house is placed
toward the front.
There is a great variety of styles in
which a square house can be designed, the
most permanent Of them being the modern
lied colonial style. In other words, the
colonial style adapted to modern require
ments Better shaped and larger rooms
can be obtained in a cuare house for a
certain amount of money than in a
house Irregular In shape built at the same
cost. ono of the advantages of a square
house is the homelike assemblage of the
rooms on the first floor, The kitchen, of
course. is secluded, but all of the other
rooms and reception hall, each connected
by very wide openings can be drawn to-
gethcr In one large, roomy interior, giving
the effect of distance and overcoming the
shut-irfeeiiug which one experiences when
sitting in a room entirely enclosed, being
connected with the adjoining rooms only
by narrow doors.
Take for example the illustration ac-
companying this article, The entrance is
in the center of the house. AS one enters
a good view Is obtained at a glance OF
the stairway, the art glass windows above
the landing, the library, the living room,
with its pleasing fireplace and the side
board in the dining room. The rooms on
the second floor are grouped around a
broad hall in the center OF the house,
which Is well lighted by the windows in
the stair landing. This arrangement is far
superior 10 the long and narrow halls one
80 often sees in long and narrow houses.
Since a square house provides less wall
surface to the weather in proportion to the
amount OF floor space i'm square feet, it is
