If the kidneys are sluggish

in removing poisonous wastes
that should be cared for by the

damned back by the sluggish
kidneys; eye diseases, nervous

Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-12-12

There are thousands of homes where
attic rooms are done Off" and in al
most every instance a lot of space is
wasted. This can be overcome in most
cases.
Making a room in a top floor or at
tic is generally done by paneling or
plastering the walls, and where the
roof slopes down to the floor, or almost
to the floor. a large place is cut off by
building a short partition down from
the roof to the floor.
The partition or wall Of such a
room Is generally not high enough for
the average bureau or dresser with its
swivel mirror. No old fashioned bu-
reau without q mirror is high enough
for q c%hiffonier. And SO a small one
is generally placed against this wall.
This takes up n lot of space. sticking
out into the already small room. This
can be avoided if. when the room Is fin
ished, instead of cutting off this space
back of the short partition. n series OF
drawers is built in.
The bottom drawer would be deep
and wide and the other three or o u
drawers would taper up. the top one
being quite narrow as the roof is slop-
ing toward this short partition all the
time.
