Question of lnquisitive
Busybody.

She was a pretty little tot and ev-

in pausing to ask her some kind of a
question, merely to show an interest
and for the pleasure of hearing the
musical cadence of her voice. Some
of the questions were what might be
termed leading, but for all she invari-
ably had some kind of an answer.
Among these latter inquiries was one
from an intrusive busybody who was
old enough to know better, but who
belonged to a class of persons who
never learn. Knowing that the little
girl had only recently become the pos
SCISSOR of young and attractive step
mother, with a curiosity Unborn she

HAVE YOU SUSPECTED YOUR KIDNEYSp

There are two ways to tell whether Won
have weak Kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination Of the kidney seeretions.
That Is why physicians make such
careful examination when YOU applv for
insurance, and if there is any sign Of kid
ney trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is so dangerous that il
IS bad mistake 20 overlook or neglect il,
and If pain in the back, recurring head
aches, or fretful, nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some kidney trouble.
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre.
tons. Look for any of the following
signs:
More or less than three and one half
pints passed daily.
90 dark or too pale a color.
PASSAGES too frequent. profuse, or much
reduced, or scRlding ard psinfui.
sandy, gritty or cloudy settings
Fat or oily-lookine layer which gathers
on the surface when allowed to stand.
or Jeliy-like thickening.
staining of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for time
from things eaten, but il the changed an.
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.

late the kidney secretions, stimulate and

Money to the amount OF over $14,-
500 600 was spent in anti-tuberculosis
work during the year 1911. according
to the third annual statement of ex-
penditures in the war against con-
sumption issued by the National Asso-

of tuberculosis. The statement is
based largely on reports received from
anti-tuberculosis agencies IN all parts
of the United States.
BY far the largest item of expense
was that for treatment in sanatoria
and hospitals, and for the erection Of
institutions of this kind, over $780,.
600 being spent for this purpose alone.
Dispensaries for the examination and
treatment of tuberculosis spent $3.50,
600, and associations and committees
in their educational campaign against
tuberculosis spent 100000 The re.

result fs that more Is lost In one or two

On the other hand, many housewives
feel that baking powder is of no value
unless they pay 50 cents a pound for it,

the best baking powder that can be made

This house plan appeals to me as
being one OF the neatest and most in
5eresting How-cost houses l ever built.
The plan lends itself to a splendid ar.
rangement OF rooms, both upstairs
and down. 1t is easy to arrange the
necessary conveniences when the
rear OF the house is wider than the
front, and this object is easily accom-
pllshed with two-section roof on the
three gable plan-one OF the most sat
isfactory roofs ever built. This style
OF roof dates back to the earliest
American architecture. 1t originated
IN the efforts of builders to add a
pleasing front to the old-fashioned
long houses built with the side to the
road but this plan has been inn
proved upon, until the completed
house shows very little resemblance
to the original efforts in this direc-
ton.
While the front part Of the house is
pleasing and the arrangement is al
most perfect, the rear section is given
UP entirely to the dining room, kiteh-
en- and the accessories to these rooms.
While We al like to see a pretty par
Tor and an attractive hall, We should
remember that a house is built to
live in next year and for a good many
years to come. The work of getting
meals is about the same, day alter
day and year after year Meals are
prepared in the kitchen and served in
the dining room three times daily and
a little saving in work each time
amounts to a great deal in the aggre-
gate. A dining room u feet wide
and 26 feet inches long is unusual,
even in large house. This is not a
large house, but there is room enough
for a large dining room without en-
croaching on anything else
