HOW TO TREAT UMBRELLAS.

creases are apt rapidly to wear
through. Ones best silk umbrella
should never be put in the stand
where the common property ones are
kept. as anyone coming in in a hurry
and placing stick or umbrella in the
same place, is very liable unintention
ally to poke hole right through, and
no amount of darning or covering the
place with black court plaster will
ever restore the umbrella to it's pris-
tine beauty.
Many umbrellas nowadays, after
they have seen some service, though
sound in other respects. are disfg.

ted, discolored tassels; these should
be promptly discarded, and new ones,
which can be bought for a trifie, Sc
curely fastened on.

They Should Be Dried Open After
Rain and Left Unroled When
Put Away.

Umbrellas require great deal OF
attention to keep them in good repair,
but at the same time they are well
worth it. and repay all trouble. How
often have our bonnets and hats been
saved by them from ruin when we
have been caught in sudden down
pour with no shelter near?
After one of these downpours. on ar
rival home the umbrella should not be
stuck in the stand and left to drain,
as the moisture, gradually accumula-
ting in the silk just above the ferrule,
causes it to rot and go into holes in a
very short time. 1t should be placed
open in dry. airy room until it is
thoroughly dry. Many people roll up
their umbrellas while still damp. and
then think the silk must have been
common when they find it in holes.
When put away, the umbrella
should be left unrolled. for II 1t is
kept in tight roll the

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, of Portland, oregon,
has views about food. He says:
I have always believed that tho
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hyglenic and dietetic laws.
With such a feeling as to my duty
/ take great pleasure in saying to tho
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation | have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there is almost 40 limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases Of sick
ness and convalescence.
1T is my experience that no physi'
cal condition forbids the use Of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there IS
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially al break
fast, to start the machinery Of the hui
man system on the days work,
In cases Of indigestion know that
complete breakfast can be made Oh
Grape-Nuts and cream and think 1t Is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. | also know the
great value Of Grape Nuts when ths
stomach is too weak to digest otner
food.
This is written after an experience
OF more than 20 years, treating al
manner of chronic and acute diseases
and the letter is written voluntary

ough construction in other ways, will

from one-third to one-half the amount
of coal required to heat the same

Insulating paper does not cost very
much and it should be used freely.

RESTORING Garden of Eden.

Though theologians and biologists
may disagree as to the exact location
of the garden of Eden, the average
historian recognizes that Mesopotamia,
between the River Euphrates and the
River Tigris was once a garden spot.
1t is quite probable that the ancient
Babylonians, and Persians, and Chal-
deans, and even their ancestors, util
lied the principles of irrigation to
make their country blossom like the
rose. But it is certain that Mesopo-
tamia, for number of centuries, has
been a barren, desertlike land.
An Englishman is now engaged in
the task of carrying the gospel of irri-
cation into Mesopotamia under the
auspices of the Turkish government.
which provided $750,OOO for the pre-
liminary work in the 1910 budget. Sir
William Willcocks is the man. In
1908 he was asked by the Turkish gov
eminent to make a report on the sub
iect of irrigating Mesopotamia, and
then engaged for five years as adviser
and instructor to carry out the neces-
sary surveys, etc.

warm-alr furnace, steam or hot-water
systems very good results can be had
with this house. Being rectangular in
outline, there are no exposed por-
tons. The solid porch at the front
will be found a great protection. as it
will blanket to a certain extent the
broad exposed side of the living room.
In other ways, too, the arrange
ment of this house is desirable. 1t Is
well suited for narrow building site,
its width being but % feet inches.
Even counting the side entrance porch.

wise home builder looks forward to
the wintry days and provides against
them by proper constructions but now
that cold weather is upon us the ques-
ton of adequate heating seems to be
more present and absorbing.
With modern heating equipme.,..
there is probably no form of d'selling
that cannot be adecuately heated.
Some, however, are very difficult to
leat and require much larger heat.
The St. Mary banner. (Franklin, Parish of St. Mary, La.) 1889-1931, 1910-12-03

the present time and this Is a good
example Of the possibilities of this
kind of arrangement The living room
extends clear across the front of the
house, the reception room and stair
hall occupy the middle of the side
and at the rear are the dining-room
and kitchen. There is a small den
directly back of the stair hall, which
will be useful for many purposes.
On the second floor are three good
sized bedrooms, each with a clothes
closet opening off from it. The bath
itself directly above the kitchen. This
brings all the plumbing together and
makes quite a saving in this factor Of
the expense. 1t is in matters of this
kind that the experienced house de-
signer can save a good deal Of money
for his clients. Too often not enough
thought is given matters of this kind,
but there is no doubt but that substan-
tial savings may be accomplished In
the construction of any house by hav-
ing it properly designed.
In exterior appearance the house
illustrated herewith is very satisfac-
tory. 1t is dignified, neat and sub
stantial. 1t has the home atmosphere.
A house of this kind has the advan-
tage of being very easily kept up so
that it always presents neat and
well-cared-for appearance. The cost
of this sevenroom, story and half
house is estimated at $1,000.
