AN OLD NURSE
Persuaded Doctor to Drink Postum.

An old faithful nurse and an exper-
fenced doctor. are a pretty strong com.
bination in favor Of Postum, instead
OF tea and coffee.
The doctor said:
Il began to drink Postum five years
ago on the advice of an old nurse.
During an unusually busy winter,
between coffee, tea and overwork, /
became a victim of insomnia. In n
month after beginning Postum, in
place of tea and coffee, could eat
anything and sleep as soundly as a
baby.
In three months had gained TWEEN
ty pounds in weight. / now use Pos
tum altogether instead of tea and cof-
fee; even at bedtime with a soda
cracker or some other tasty biscuit.
Having little tendency to Diabe-
ties. used small quantity of sacchar-
ine instead Of sugar, to sweeten with.
may add that today tea or coffee are
never present in our house and very
many patients. on my advice, have
adopted Postum as their regular bev-
erage.
In conclusion can assure anyone
that. as refreshing. nourishing and
nervestrengthening beverage, there Is
nothing equal to Postum"
Name given by Postum Co, Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, The
Road to MELVILLE"
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Unjust be boiled,
Instant Postum doesn't require boil
ing but Is prepared instantly by stir
ring level teaspoonful in an ordinary
cup of hot water. which makes 1t right
for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
people who like strong things put in a
heaping spoonful and temper II with a
large supply OF cream.
Experiment until you know the
amount that pleases your palate ard
have 1t served that way in the future

A seven-room cottage house that
may be built for about $4,000 under
favorable circumstances. is illustrated
In the architects perspective and
fioor-plans here given. Downstairs
there are a 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-

mace. There Is convenient grade
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

vision that is valuable In any house.
and one that Is appreciated by every
housekeeper.
The size Of this little cottage Is 20
feet wide by 3s feet long. exclusive of
the porch. which Is not very large on
the ground and not very high; but
there Is room for four rooms down
stairs and three rooms upstairs, with
good. unfinished attic for storage;
and there is plenty of closet room. A
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-
tage Of arranging bedrooms in roof
like this, is that the low portions OF
the roof may be used TO advantage for
this purpose. Some women prefer an
attic over the bedroom, but many
would rather have storeroom of this
kind because II saves climbing two
pairs Of stairs. II is impossible to
have every good thing included in one
plan. Cottage houses may be lighter
in construction than two-story houses.
and they are more economical where
the roof space is utilized as II is In
this house. The three bedrooms on
the second floor represent Just that

An old resident Of Heller, Kan,
speaking of the early days on the Kan

we took after buffalo hides we had

Englishman was amazed at the waste

1t is very important not to let weeds
mature their seeds in the garden and
vicinity. and they do 1t quickly this
month. Eternal vigllence is the price
of weedless home place.
Do not forget to gather seeds from
only the finest flowers. II is well to
tie a string about the stem Of the
most perfect blooms. and cut the
rest. Watch the pod as 1t natures,
and gather before It scatters the
seed.
Don't be niggardly with your flow
ers. Cut them for the house; give
them to friends and neighbors; send
them to the poor and sick, and the
stranger. You will scatter sunshine"
and your plants will bloom all the
better for your generosity.

when cutting the open bloom to cut

II does not need to be deprived of
light and air, as do the Holland bulbs

One of the loveliest flowers grown
