1T was. to say the least of It." a
London letter remarks, Just a little
bit awkward that the electric light
went out the other evening at the
town house Of a presumably wealthy
widow who had been doing a good
deal Of political entertaining The
guests, to the number of a dozen, had
just finished their soup when the IN
fortunate incident occurred. The
scramble to find a sufficient number
of candles so that the dinner might
proceed was attended with a great
deal OF difficulty and no little amuse-
ment The butler, who is described
as being bit new to his job, was i'm
mediately told to telephone to the
electric company, report the catas-
trophe and demand attention to the
matter. 1t was a trying moment for
the guests when he returned to the
dining room and announced in real
Cockney accent: Please, my lady the
gentleman what's on the telephone

some flowers to the side and one large
tree in the background make a setting
that will bring out the natural beau
ties of the house itself, making an in
viting, home-like place and one that
can be easily kept up
The house design shown in conneo-
ton with this is an ideal one for
suburban building, where amateur
landscape gardening of a modest ma
ture can be had. 1t is cement plas-
ter, story-and-a-half house with green
shingled roof and green trimmings
around doors and windows and in the
gables. It's entire width is only &c
feet inches, so If placed well back
on a f1fty-foot lot a good space would
be eft on each side for shrubs and
flowers, and more important than
these things of mere beauty, plenty of
light and air would reach the rooms
having the side exposure.
The arrangement of this house is
along the most modern lines. From

An interesting experiment for the
purpose Of creating immunity against
tuberculosis is being tried in Pitts
burgh under the direction OF the Tu-
berculosis league of that city. DR..
William Charles White, medical direc-
tor of the league says it will probably
take ten years before definite results
of the work will be appreciated The
experiment is being conducted on the
theory that much, If not all, tubercu-
losis infection begins in childhood. In
view of this fact, the league is aiming
to supervise the growth of every baby
born for the next ten years in the
South side district of Pittsburgh. The
babies and their mothers will be taken
In charge at the birth of the infant,
and everything possible will be done
to increase the resisting power of the
child to disease and to make it there
by immune to tuberculosis infection.
The theory of the society is that by
terrifying the body in the earliest De
riod Of a child's life, the infant will.
in most cases, become immune to the
disease with which heredity and en-
vironment may threaten it.

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work TO perform, day aft
er day, have found a better capacity
and greater endurance by using Post
UNI instead of coffee. An Ills Woman
writes:
Il had drank coffee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart | was nervous
and extremely respondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
1.-THE first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then l became less respondent. and
the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
strength.
Il am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. l formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account of coffee, but since using
Postum am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Greek, Mich.
Postum now comes in new concen-
trated form called Instant Postum. 1t
is regular Postum, SO processed at the
factory that only the soluble portions
are retained
A spoonful of Instant Postum with
hot water, and sugar and cream to
taste, produce instantly a delicious
beverage.

There is a wonderful difference in
this world between the house that is
simply a place to live in, with four
walls and roof, and the house which
is real home. The difference is not
SO much in the house itself as in the
combined effect or union of the house
with its surroundings. There are GER
tain styles of architecture that seem
to blend naturally with shrubs, vines
and flowers. With such a house any
work done along the lines of amateur
landscape gardening seems worth
while, for every nook and cor
ner of the yard, every Towering shrub
and every tree throwing out its wide
branches seems 70 add to the coy,
home-like appearance of the place.
This is one of the surest tests we
have of excellence in architectural
design. Some houses never seem to
be at ease, or in accord with the site
on which they are built. Every eff
fort to improve and beautify the
grounds serves only to bring out the
more strongly the plain awkwardness
of the house itself, which is Of neces-
sity the very heart and center of the
whole picture. A well-designed resi-
dence. on the other hand, l care not
whether it is a little four-room cot
tage costing but a few hundred dol
lars or a splendid residence costing
many thousands, seems to harmonic
and blend with its natural surround
ings
In this connection It may be re-
marked that the use OF cement plaster
has done perhaps more to bring about
this desired union between the house
and grounds than any other building
material. The sand. cement and gray
ell from which the plaster is made be-
