Strenuous Day Ahead.

Yet we had strenuous day ahead
of us if we were to reach Puerto
Santos in time for the mail canoe the
next night. MIR. Williams had en-
deavored to impress upon the carriers
the urgency of the case and the necessi-
ty for an earl y start the next morning,
and they had responded by offering to
be ready to go at g a. NJ. if he would
treat them to brandy. Naturally he re-
fused to do that but offered extra pay
all around if they would reach the
river before the canoe left Yet when
called at 2 a. N. they responded only
with groans and yells. However Mr..
Williams was persistent and insisted
upon an carry departure. He spent
three difficult hours in getting those
men to move.

"TRE MAN WHO STOOD STILL"
Aurora, H., Merchant Refused to Be-
ieve He Could Not Do Business
Without Advertising.

Death the other day claimed a man
best known residents of northern Hi
nois because of one unusual trait OF
his Characteristic fact that he was a
business man who tried to carry on a
mercantile enterprise without adver-
tising.
1t reads like publicist's' joke, but it
is really sober truth that d. w. Stock.
well, who passed away after half a
centurys business career in Aurora,
H., was known to most people in that
section solely because of the fact that
he refused to believe he could not op-
crate his store year in and year out as
he had begun to conduct it during the
civil war.
Unwilling to adjust himself to the
rapidly changing conditions which re-
suited from the cessation Of that great
conflict and the coincident wonderful
expansion of business. he found him
self gradually losing his patrons-who
for years had given him a rich trade
until his store became known far and
done. II is said that much of the stock
on the shelves of the store closed out
in settling up the estate. was pur-
chased shortly after the war. Stock

customers to come and buy his wares,
but few persons ever darkened his
doors.
THE Man Who Stood STILL" he was
called, for the reason that he had not
kept pace with the progress of his
times. Perhaps 1t would have been
even better to say that he tried to turn
progress backward
What success he had is best shown
in the fact that when his death was
announced. those who knew him
smiled.

bungalow style church is quite com
mon thing in many OF our cities and
suburbs. These are uses never con-
templated by the originators of the
bungalow in this country and should
not be charged up against the style.
The bungalow, rightly understood, is
an artistically designed cottage, and
within that sphere has some exceed
ingly creditable features of work to
show.
The perspective and floor plan
shown herewith illustrate a very ar
tistic cottage designed in the western
bungalow style. Five good sized
rooms are provided, each one very
well lighted. The arrangement pro-
vides for that convenience which has
become typical of the western bunga-

Simplicity and directness are the
keynotes OF this style as illustrated
in the accompanying design At a

QAn TOILET

Cucumber cream will whiten the
skin
To tone the skin add a little alcohol
to the wash water.
If the skin is red and oily, avoid
greasy and rich foods
Elder flower water is a pleasant To-
ton to apply to the skin.
Sage tea made moderately strong is
good tonic for the hair.
Never use very hot water to wash
the face; it will dry and wrinkle
the skin.
Scars which are not deep may be
removed by the daily rubbing with CO.
Goa butter.
Never scrape the finger nails; it will
thicken and make them uneven and
full of ridges.
To keep the finger nails clean when
polishing the stove put lard under
meath the edges and around the
nails, and the backing will not dis
figure them.
A good lotion to contract enlarged
pores and one that will also whiten
the skin is made by shaking together
one ounce of tincture of camphor, one
half ounce of tincture benzoin and
three ounces of rosewater.

these rooms are nicely lighted and
provide the accommodations for the
necessary furniture for convenient

feature that will be much appreciated
by the housewife. The second bed

An excellent cucumber milk, which
is said to be a specific with sensitive
skins for sunburn or freckles, and
which is most useful for the roughness
following skin injuries at the sea-
shore or in the country, is made in this
way:
Oil of sweet almonds. ds............... ounces
Fresh cucumber juice ............10 ounces
Essence of cucumbers.. ....:...... ounces
Powdered CASTLE soap, twhite)....4 ounce
Tincture or benZoin ..............2 .2-3 dram
The cucumber juice is obtained by
boiling the vegetables in very little
water. Slice these, skin and all, and
let them cook in a double boiler until
mushy; strain through fine sieve and
then through a cheesecloth. Make
the essence by putting an ounce and a
half of the cucumber juice into the
same quantity of high-proof alcohol.
Put the essence and the soap in a
large preserve jar with tight top, and
shake the mixture good deal. After
some hours the soap will be dissolved,
when it is time to put in the cucumber
juice. Shake the jar until the two
mixtures thoroughly blend, then pour
out into crockery bowl and add the
oil and benzoin, beating with silver
fork until the liquid is creamy. The
cucumber juice must be strong, for it
is the arsenic in the vegetable which
gives it a bleaching power.
Put the milk in small bottles, cork
ing them tightly and keeping them in
the dark. Shake always before using.
This mixture is Immediately absorbed
by the skin and so it is very grateful
after new sunburn.

Many practical builders have said
that the bungalow is a fad, no doubt
good enough, it is true, for southern
California, or southern states, such
as Florida and Louisiana but in the
main not suitable for practical build
ing throughout the country at large.
1t has been affirmed that the cost of
the bungalow style dwelling is far in
excess of that for the ordinary type
two-story house, providing the same
accommodations.
The criticisms against the bunga-
low have been due, not so much to
the real characteristics of the style
itself, as to the over-enthusaism of it's
devotees who have advocated it for
buildings for which it was never III
tended.
Designed originally for summer cot
tage work and for spacious building
sites, preferably of a hilly nature,
there have been too many instances
where this type of dwelling has been
squeezed into narrow city lots and put
in between high two or threestory
dwellings-much to the detriment of
the typical bungalow style.
Much very peculiar art has been
perpetrated in the name of the bunga-
low and it has to account for many
freakish dwellings for which it is not
in any way to blame.
