materials to give false impression Of
quality at low expense
Mr.. Stickley believes, and is supported by
the profession, that a home should he
planned in as simple a way as possible, and
make up for the saving in cost by using
a better quality of material than is ordi-
narily used in the construction Of mex
pensive homes. I'm fact, the one central
thought in all craftsman activities is the
simplifcation of life and return to the
more democratic modes of thought and
conduct of our fathers. Accordingly the
exterior lines Of the Craftsman house are
very simple and it's interior divisions are
few. One immediate result of vital inter-
est to most builders is the economy thus
effected Aside from economy, however,
the ruling principle of simplicity effects
other important results. II gives the
Craftsman House a beauty and a dignity
that is all it's own and reacts most favor
ably upon the life and character OF the
inmates. Passing for a moment the beauty
Of simplicity in design, its effects on
character are worthy of the most careful
consideration. n..e
The beginning of life and character lies
in the home. Its influence is paramount in
shaping our social and national destiny.
Our future welfare as a nation depends
upon the kind of surroundings in which

our children grow up. And present lack
of principle in building is not having tho
right sort Of influence,
The desire for superfluity is equally
harmful to men. women and children. The
man who is ambitious to provide for his
wife and children surroundings equal to
the best is burdencd beyond his strength.
The woman who is trying to keep up the
appearance which she believes should be-
long to her station in life is taxed to the
utmost Worst OF ALL It starts the children
with standards that tend to preclude the
possibility of their going into housekeep-
ing for themselves in a simple and sensible
way"
A craftsman house can be either one or
two stories high, although the one-story
bungalow makes the ideal craftsman home,
and fits in we'll with the craftsman idea
of living in as simple and economical a
way as possible. Simplicity does not mean
barrenness, and the design Of a craftsman
home should not be carried to that ex-
creme. 1t is the same in dress. Simplicity
in dress indicates good taste. but a man
should not go to the extreme of leaving off
his necktie on the ground that it Is n
superfluous ornament, not contributing to
his comfort. one can carry even simplicity

TIMELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP
Prospective Purchasers Are Backward
Much Activity in Store.
MANY INQUIRIES BEING MADE
Architects Are Busy, Some Turping
work Away, and Indications Are l
that 1911 season VIII he
Unusually busy One.

While prospective purchasers Of real es-
tate are inclined 20 be backward and there
r. not much disposition to commence
building at this time, there Is every reason
TO believe that there will be unusual activ-
fly IN transfers and construction work dur
ing the season OF 1911
Building operations are reported scatter
ingly from all parts Of the city. but at this
time there has been little work started on
structures Of any magnitude. Excavations
are now being made for the Si25.OOO apart
ment building at Seventeenth and 81.
Mary's avenue, and this is probably the
most pretentious structure that has been
started this spring.
The most convincing facts that 1911 is
10 be marked by unusual activity come
from the offices OF the architects All OF
them are busy and some report that they
are turning work away, having more at
hand than they can turn out. There are
a number Of the architects who are pre-
pairing plans for massive dwelling houses
and apartments, but they are not in a
position at this time TO give out anything.
one architect IS preparing plans for al
$4,000 apartment house which viii be built
close in, and will be one Of the finest OF
its nature in the city.
There Is a general feeling of satisfaction
and announcement among the real estate
dealers. They are not bringing about many
sales, but they are encouraged by the large
number Of Inquiries that are being made
by those who have money to invest. A
great many OF the prospective purchasers
have it in mind 20 build, and they do not
feel that It would be profitable TO make
purchases until spring begins in real earn

superfluous. The man who
NSSSsaS could build the largest locomo-
tive, the tallest building or the most ex-
pensive palatial home, Is looked upon with
mixed admiration and awe. While efforts
to do great things should not be dis
couraged, they have necessarily created a
feeling of discomfort among whose means
would not permit them to do as much.
A marble palace costing a million or two
may be gem OF architecture, and a
veritable museum filled with art treas
ures. but such a home can not be said to
be truly homelike, and establishes false
standard.
There is more true homelke beauty to
be found In a simple cottage designed and
furnished in good taste, than is to be found
in the palaces Of the rich. Why? because
the true home spirit, its true significance
as the abode of love and happiness is lost
track Of in the effort to out do some rival
millionaire.
The reaction from this tendency has been
toward the simpler things, the living of
simpler lives in simple, homelike habita-
tons Without question. the leader in this
movement towards simple homes which
is a fact becoming nation wide, is Mr..
Gustav stickley, the acknowledged head
Of the craftsman movement. Like all in
novations, the craftsman ideal has had to
receive and live through its share of critic
ism. BY those who preferred excessive
adornment on and in their homes It was
called dry goods box architecture" 1t
is quite true, that everything in craftsman
architecture is ION the square" but not
to the extent that craftsman home would
resemble box.
The keynote OF the craftsman idea is
simplicity, not rustic pr4mitiveness but the
straightforward expression in the outward
appearance of a home. Of the simple needs
within. Everything is real. Selected ma
terials are not used as a veneer on baser

Food for tho Invalid.

Those who have sick people to feed,
and care for are often at loss TO
know what to feed them and have 1t
at the same time appetizing and nutrl-
tious.
In serving a glass Of milk, cup
OF Cruel or beef tea, place on a plate
covered with dolly
In cases of kidney disease, the diet
should be limited almost entirely to
vegetables, SKINNED milk and plenty
OF water.
Dyspeptic people should avoid all
starchy food and take only the sim
plest diet
A rheumatic patient should be de-
MED sweets and only the white meats
should be eaten; also gluten bread
and toast
The hard part OF an oyster should
be removed when serving them to an
Ill person
Liquid foods are followed by the
semi solid foods In convalescence
The old-fashioned method Of feed
Ing cold and starving fever is not
considered good, as science has shown
that plenty of nourishment is required
to repair the waste of the tissues,
caused by the fever.
After the liquid diet comes the
soups, thickened with rice and barley,
eggs In various forms, milk and cream
toast, chicken and beef jelly and sim
liar foods. Grape juice, lemonade,
'axseed tea. barley water are drinks
that are given frequently. In small
quantities.
After a long illness, solid food
Is resumed very gradually and in
small quantities, as the digestive sys-
tenn must not be oyer-taxed.
Typhoid fever patients are, as
rule, very ravenous when they first
begin to improve, and the greatest
care should be taken that they do
not oyer-eat or take any food that
may cause relapse.
Scraped beef sand wiches, sago and
rice pudding, bread and milk, baked
apples, Soup with an egg beaten up
in 1t. custard and occasionally a we'll
baked potato may be some of the
dishes that the invalid can eat with
safety

piece Of rare beef steak may be
given

How to Disinfe 1t.

The careless manner in which many
people funigate their homes after
Siege OF infectious disease is to say
the least criminal.
AS soon as the physician gives per
mission to move the patient, he should
be given a hot bath and a sponging all
over with weak solution of bichlo-
ride, and move him into the room pre-
pared for him.
The sick room itself should be thor
oughly disinfected and everything that
keep and is washable should be
soaked for several hours in solu-
ton of carbolic acid twenty parts to
4 hundred of water. 1t is almost i'm
possible to disinfect mattress aMell
at home and it should either be
burned OF sent to an establishment
where such things are steriliZed.
There are several methods Of fumi-
CATION one is the burning OF sulphur,
and follow that by wipIng Off every
thing in the room with a solution OF
bichloride. one part to flve hundred
of water The walls may be wiped
with a broom bag dampened with the
solution.
The use of formaldehyde is pre-
ferred by many. stopping up every
crack and keyhole and letting the vol
atile substance penetrate every part
of the room.
All bedding should be spread out
over chairs 40 that the gas will have
easy nceess to IT.. Leave the room
closed for IL hours. then air thor
oughly Formalin Lamps which pro-
duce the gas may be purchased. This
is ons of tho easiest methods and one
that Is considered most satisfactory.
Books and toys are something impossi-
bio to fumigate or disinfect, and 1t Is
much better to burn them than to run
sn7 risks oi contagion.
