Many practical builders have said

Designed originally for summer cot

sites. preferably of a billy 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 three-story
dwellings-rauch to the detriment of
the typical bungalow style.
Much very peculiar art has been
perpetrated in the name of the bunga-
low and 1t has to account for many
freakish dwellings for which 1t Is not
in any way to blame.
We have rever happened to see a

still, what ID almost as bad, the

bungalow in this country and should
not be charged up against the style.

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes 1t hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimulants"
under such circumstances is like set
ting the house on fire to see If you
can put 1t out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way Of
eating Grape-Nuts. and says:
For about three years l had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds OF medicine,
the doctor would ask me to drop of
potatoes. then meat, and 30 on, but in
a few days that craving, gnawing feel
ing would start up, and would vomit
everything l ate and drank.
When l started on Grape-Nuts, vom-
iting stopped. and the bloated feeling
which was so distressing disappeared
entirely.
my mother was very much bothered
with diarrhoea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food
Since using Grape-Nuts food she is
well, and says she DOM think she
could do without 1t.
1T is a great brain rsstorer and
nerve builder, for can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after a supper of
Grape-Nuts as in the old days when
could not realize what they meant by
bad stomach There is no medi.
cine 80 beneficial to nerves and brain
as good nights sleep, such as you
can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts."

SINGING and the Lunas.

1t Is well known that singing, like
whistliDg, is tine exercise for the
who fear consumption to go in for
singing for this reason.
AT the same time they, of course,
do not advance the claim that singing
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit OF
taking the big deep breath, which is a
primary requisite Of any kind of sing
ing, bad or good, and the physical
Joy derived from 1t will never allow
you to relapse into lazy breathing

Urges Women to Rest Their Tongues.

Urges Women to Rest Their Tongues.
DR. Charles H. Green, lecturer in
the Harvard Medical school, has made
the discovery that women talk too
much. In lecture on The Hygiene
Of Women" he declared:
yes, women talk far too much
They would be better looking i; they
listened more. They are nervous be-
cause they do SO much talking The
energy they use up in talking should
be used for other purposes.
What the women of today need ia
a daily quiet hour. Few women real
lie how little rest they take and how
much they need. l do not say that
they should sleep. but If they would
only go away by themselves for one
hour each day and lie down and relax
physically and mentally, 1t would be
of untold benefit to their nerves."

ENRAGED FARMERS
AFTER MURDERER
Former Inmate Of Asylum is Suspect
ed of Most Brutal Murder
of Girl.

| UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
CARMEL, Maine, July 26.-Enraged
farmers who refused to accept deputy
sheriff commissions, preferred to take
the law in their own hands, today
searched for a farm hand, formerly
an inmate of an asylum, suspected of
the brutal murder of Naomi Eta
Mitchell, IA years old, whose shock
ingly mutilated body was found last
night in a cornfield 400 yards from
her home. The little girls murder
was striking parallel of the Julia
Connors case. With Ler throat cut
from ear to ear, so deep that the
knife severed the handkerchief used
to gag the child, the body was found
almost nude and bearing many signs
of violence The hands were tied be-
hind her back, so cruelty strained and
knotted that one shoulder was dislo-
Gated and it was evident that she had
made a desperate struggle.
The girl was one OF eleven children,
all younger than herself and she had
been the little mother of the brood
during the illness of Mrs Mitchell
The suspected farmland was in a
village store when Naomi was seen
there shortly before her body was
found and she had not been seen since

Not SO very long ago, officers with
