REAL LOUNGING PLACE
MAKE THE PORCH AS COMFORT
ABLE AS POSSIBLE.
All Manner Of inexpensive Conve-
nlences Can Be Made to Contribute
to the Happiness of the Fam
lily During the Summer.

Because the porch of the summer
cottage is the real lounging place for
the family, it should be made as COM
Portable as possible with all manner
of inexpensive conveniences. If the
master of the house has the in
genuity to rig up a swing couch by
means of set of single bed springs,
four stout ropes and can Of paint,
be sure to have one of those contriv-
ances. Otherwise have couch of rat
tan with an adjustable headpiece, but
lacking the money to afford that, a
canvas army cot may be substituted,
as when its wooden legs are painted
it will look very well indeed.
Next come the lounging chairs,
which II low and roomy need not be
expensive, provided they are prettily
painted in white, with pale green or
pink or yellow and have cushioned
backs. What makes so many cheap
porch chairs uncomfortable is their
hard backs, which should be covered
with adjustable cushions filled with
pine needless filling which is cheap
and can be periodically replaced. But
if cushioned chairs are considered In
sanitary or disliked for any other rea-
son, the porch furnisher should get a
collection of canvas steamer chairs.
The porch table should be substan-
tial affair which cannot be blown over
by a high wind and large enough to
serve a meal upon. Better than rattan
or splint is the attractively painted
kitchen table, whose legs have been
amputated a third of their length, so
that its surface shall not be above the
easy reach of person sitting In a
low chair.
A tall screen of the four leaf order
is always convenience on porch,
as with 1t any specially disordered cor
ner may be instantly concealed at
the approach of unexpected visitors.
Have the frame of this screen of hard
wood so that 1t shall not easily blow
over, paint 1t in the color scheme of
the porch furnishings and cover 1t
with whatever fabric is to be the ma
terial for the dozens of oblong. square
and round pillows which are to be
everywhere in evidence.

CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of 1t in Colfax But Daily Growing

The kidneys often cry for help.
Not another organ in the whole body

Not one more important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the

There can be NO health where there
is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the frequent in
dications of kidney trouble.
