A seven-room cottage house that
may be built for about $4,000 under
favorable circumstances, is illustrated
in the architects perspective and
| floor-plans here given. Downstairs
there are parlor, dining room, and
kitchen, with one bedroom, besides a
bathroom having one entrance from
the bedroom and another entrance
from the kitchen, which facilitates
warming the bathroom from the kitch-

entrance to the cellar, which may be
reached by four steps down from the
kitchen. This arrangement leaves
room in the corner of the entrance
for a good-sized refrigerator pro-

and one that is appreciated by every
housekeeper.
The size of this little cottage is %

woman never gets too many closets
Architects are often worried because
of the demand for more closets than
they can find room for. One advan

like this, is that the low portions Of
the roof may be used to advantage fol
this purpose. Some women prefer an
attic over the bedroom, but many
would rather have storeroom of this
kind because it, saves climbing two
pairs of stairs. 1t Is impossible t.

Figures in the statistical department
of the state board of health show that
the number of boys in Kansas is in
creasing faster than the number of
girls at the rate of about seventy
month. The birth reports for the en-
tire state for the eighteen months end
ing July 1, 1913, show that in only two
months was the number of female
births greater than the number of
males. These months were August
1912, when the number Of male births
reported was LIS, as against 1,742
female births, and last February, when
there were 1,497 girls born and only
1882 boys. The total number of births
reported for 1912 was 3S,OO5; of this
number, 19,435 were boys and 1870
were girls.

Streams and Ponds in Kansas
to be Stocked this Fall.
CARP ASKED FOR IN WEST
PROT. Dyche Will Have Ninety Car
loads Ready to Ship From the
State Hatchery at Pratt Dur
ing Next Six Months.

TOpeka.-Ninety carloads OF fish
will be ready for distribution this fall,
winter and next spring to the people
of Kansas from the state fish hatch
cry at Pratt.
The fish hatchery car carries when
loaded to it's capacity from 10000 10
$4,000 fish. This means that about
1000 900 fish will be ready to be put
into Kansas streams and ponds during
the next six months.
Just as soon as it rains and the Kan
sas rivers, creeks, lakes and ponds fill
ND again the work of distribution Will
begin, according to Professor l.. l..
Dyche, state fish and game warden.
From five to seven carloads of fish
have usually been distributed each
fall" he said. 1--WE have added eighty
ponds to the hatchery in the last year,
making ninety breeding ponds now
available, and we will easily have a
million fish to put out this fall. In the
spring we can carry only from 5000
to 5000 fish in the car because they
are larger than in the fall. But alto
gether there will be around ninety
carloads to distribute over the state
Black bass, giant crappie, bullhead
catfish, blue-gill sunfish and carp will
be distributed. The carp are asked for
mainly in the western part of the state
for irrigation bitches and in ponds
There is quite demand for them in
the western counties according to Pro-
Sessor Dyche Some gold fish will
also be distributed. They are wanted
for their young, the latter being OF
exceptional value to feed other fish.
Distribution will begin first in some
southern central Kansas counties to
finish up the work where it was left
off last spring. Then the fish car will
start in the northern part of the state
and travel from the east to the wes
state line, and over the north ant
south lines between the east and wes
lines, until the state is covered. Any
one wanting fish simply sends in ar
application to the state fish and game
warden. He gets back a blank to fill
out, which asks questions as to the
fish desired the water in which they
are to be kept and similar matters.

Governor Hodges is going to have as
many silos built in Kansas in the next
few weeks as is possible to construct
so that the rough feed now in the
state may be saved fer winter use and
the stock kept on the farms. Some
time ago the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege got out a bulletin on the pit silos,
the cheapest silos that can be built.
The distribution of these bulletins was
very limited so the governor decided
to make the distribution more general.
An order on the state printer for 25,-
600 copies of the bulletin at the eX-
pense OF the governors contingent
fund was made and the state printer
sidetracked all other work to get the
bulletins out at once. They were
mailed to the bankers in every town
in central and western Kansas and
the bankers will distribute the bulle-
tins to the farmers.

Every mother should endeavor to

baby whenever it cries. A moderate
amount of crying aids in developing
the lungs. Give the baby little
boiled water several times a day and
nurse it at regular intervals.
Do not wean the baby as long as
it is gaining and not at all except on
advice of a doctor. Do not follow a1-

Never let baby nurse from the re-

weather a quick sponge bath later in
the day will give comfort and induce
