WATER CURES BAD NERVES
Five Or Six Pints of Fluid Will Keep
You Healthy and Happy.

| DR.. Harvey Boughton, the English
nerve specialist, recently said, in an ad-
| dress. that all neurasthenics-that is
people with unhealthy nerves-have
nothing more than nerves that are dry
and suffer from an insufficiency of fluid
in the tissues of the body, which really
go to make up the body's fabrication.
Most people, he says, probably suffer
in a degree from this, even though
they are not conscious of any definite
symptoms. He believes this disease
could easily be eradicated if people
would only supply the system with
plenty of good, clear. cold water.
The human body is so adjusted that
one part cannot suffer without all 9TH
er parts suffering. If by neglect our
nerves are dried up through lack of
fluid, then it is a certainty that the
wheels of our intricate body machinery
are being clogged by reason of waste
matter which is not washed away.
1t can be readily seen that by the
use of water a threefold service is
done. 1t feeds, it washes and it car
ries away the cinders of the body fur
mace, and through the want of it we
are exposed to many and great dan
gers. The tissues become too dry, the
blood becomes thick, unhealthy and
flows sluggishly, and the retained
waste of the body sets up condition
Whlch the doctors call autOlntOX1Ca-
ton or self poisoning.
This condition may give rise to al
most any known sym ptoms, from the
sim pie pimple to heart failure, and is
really responsible for most of the
semi-invalids with whom the world is
largely peopled.
DR.. Boughton then gave certain
rules which he said would tend to
make for healthier and happier
body. He observed that people do not
and it may take a little experimenting
to find out how much should be taken
in each case. 1t has been stated by
physicians that five or six pints should
be taken during the "a hours OF this,
he said, only a moderate quantity
should be taken with the meals, but
it was a great mistake to take no
water with the meals. but that it was
a greater mistake to wash food down
with water, especially with ice water. |
DR.. Boughton said the best time for
water drinking is at night time and
early in the morning, and it is well to !
form the habit of slowly slipping, dur i
ing the bath and while dressing, two |
or three glasses of cold-though not !
ice cold-water, and then to sip two |
or three more glasses at bedtime, and |
again two or three more glasses an !
hour or two before luncheon and be-
fore dinner.
Then the doctor assured his audi |
ence that in a very short time the |
value of this habit would become ap-
parent in the general improvement of
digestion, temper and appearance

Learning d Lanuuaue

The time to learn a language is
when you are young, the younger the
better. We learn our own language as
children. The older We grow the
harder it is. because 1t means not
merely learning by heart a great
many words, not merely training the
palate and tongue to produce differ
ent sounds, but adopting a new atti.
tude of mind Nothing definite has
been discovered as to the localization
of faculties in the brain. therefore
nothing certain ia known, but it has
always seemed to ne and to others
whom have consulted that when you
learn a new lanGLSge you are eXercis-
ing and developing a new piece Of
brain. When you know several Ian
guages and change from one to an
other, you seem definitely to change
the piece of brain which actuates your
tongue. You switch of one center
and switch one to another. You will
always notice in yourself and others
that there is a definite pause when
the change of language is made. Now
it becomes every year more difficult
to awaken an unused part of the brain
and bring 1t into active use, and to
begin at twenty-three is late-The At

Feed Fowl Meat.

Meat IN some form must be fed to
poultry; they must have animal mat
ter. Fowls running on free ranges
where insects are plentiful obtain a
sufficient supply of animal matter, but
those kept in closer quarters must be
given this food in another form
Finely chopped fresh meat is an
excellent bone and muscle builder for
the young stock, but should not be fed
more than two or three times week.
Green bone cut freshly just before
feeding is equally as beneficial, but
must also be fed with judgment as
to how much and how often. Meat
foods assist feather, bone. muscle, and
comb development, consequently too
much is apt to cause too much forcing
along these lines

course il is trim and neat-if the in
terror is comfortable and home-like
and so arranged that the work can be
done easily.
The third factor, that of cost, very
often seems to be. if not most impor-
tant, the most important of the three.
Most home builders have to set def
mite figure and make up their minds
not to go over it. The outside design
can be changed from one style to an
other. and the interior arrangement is
matter Of choice, no one plan being
absolutely essential. But with the cost
it is different Most of US have to
carefully determine, before building,
Just what can be afforded; and if the
figure decided upon should be exceed
ed disaster might follow.
1t is Just as we'll too. that this is so.
Il leads to economy and close figuring
and careful attention to the details OF
the work and this leads to satisfac-
tory results.
1t seems to be quite the habit of
many building contractors, and also
with the architects, to be too optimis-
tic when quoting on preliminary esti-
mates. The prospective builder is
misled, perhaps unintentionally, into
believing that a much more elaborate
structure can be built for the amount
he has decided on than is in reality
the case The little $4,000 bungalow.
of the story, which cost $4,000 to
build, is an example.
The fact of the matter is. it is a diff
fcult if not impossible matter to make
an accurate estimate on preliminary
plans The little extra features that
ere not shown, but which are usually
included in the specifications as the
planning proceeds, amount up to an
astonishing total, II all the desirable
features that the banker has in his
new $4,000 residence are attempted
to be incorporated into the plans for a
simple little $4,000 house it is certain
that there will be a wide difference be-
tween the preliminary estimates and
the final figures offered in the final
bids based on the complete plans and
specifications.
For a house OF moderate cost, espe-
cally if it is of gritty good size, the
only safe way is 70 make a firm res
olution. and stick to it, to cut out all
the little costly Injuries and to retain
only the essentials which are neces-
sary for comfort Many features can
be added five years after a building is
put up just as well as while the house
is being built After a home is once
started it will be a constant joy and
satisfaction to add to it's comforts and
attractions by working in new features
as time goes on
In the design illustrated herewith
the interior of the house has been
made most important, while the out
side is of neat and trim appearance
Still, there is nothing elaborate about
it, it being designed just as economic
ally as could be possible. A perfectly
square house with a hip roof has
proved itself to be the most economical
OF any; and when properly arranged
within makes as comfortable and sat
isfactorY hone as could be desired.

The first floor plan OF this house is
exceptionally good. From the central
square hall one finds the living room
occupying the entire space at the left,
while to the right is the dining room,
with the kitchen just back of it. The
stairway goes up with single turn.
and is so arranged that the front stair
way from the reception hall and the
back stairway from the kitchen open
onto a common landing. thus saving
the expense of an extra stairway and
the space usually occupied by one
The living room is designed in &C
cordance with the most modern ideas.
1t is very large and comfortable, II
feet by y feet in size. In addition
there is an alcove containing a wide
fireplace. This room would always be
the center Of the home life, CHEEKY and
inviting, and capable of accommodate
ing a large number of persons without
CrOwding
On the second floor four good-sized
bedrooms with an abundance of closet
room are provided. The bathroom is
conveniently located. the plumbing
fixtures there being directly in line
with those in the kitchen. This is quite
a money saving feature.
The cost of this house is estimated
at $4,000. This is very moderate for
a residence of this size, 81 feet 6
inches being the width and IS feet the
length. This figure contemplates the
use of good quality hardwood finish
and floors for the first floor and yellow
pine for the second

IN NJ. H UNDERMOOD-

,By W. II UNDERWOOD
In handling the apple crop success
fully it IS important to have a sufi-
cient number of ladders. receptacles,
sorting tables and all accessories on
hand. The early apple must be gath
cred and shipped promptly They
may be sent to market in one-third,
one-half. or one bushel boxes or
baskets; but a little later these small
packages are not wanted and the
three bushel barrel is the proper
thing.
Prices are most always good at the
beginning of the apple season, even
for green cookers. and this induced
some to pick and ship half-grown Ben
Davis and other winter varieties But
experience has proven that this is
folly, as the market is soon overload
ed with poor, green apples and the
returns are next to nothing
This glut is apt to continue as
long as the warm weather lasts: be
cause there are so many neglected
orchards neither sprayed or cultivat-
ed, in which the apples begin falling
from the trees early; and they are
picked and rushed to market to avoid
loss from this cause
In picking apples some prefer the
use Of baskets while others prefer
sacks. However, they both have their
advantages and disadvantages The
advantage of using a basket lies en-
tirely in the fact that the apples are
carefully placed in the same
they are not bruised and the blooms
If there be any are not rubbed of.
The objections to the baskets are
that they are not so handy as the
sacks and that careless pickers are
disposed to toss apples into them as
they hang on limb or stand upon
the ground several feet away
The advantage Of using a sack is
that it can be slung over the Shout
der with a strap and the mouth kept
open with part OF a barrel hoop

House in America. and bore the name
of a German. The New York post
Office was nonplussed Finally one Of
the men got an idea He went to the
pier of a line in Hoboken where he
thought the man to whom the letter
belonged might have landed with 9th

up three houses and went in. Sure
enough that was the destination of
the letter. The ADDRESSED didn't know
how to tell his friend in far-off Ger
many how to direct the letter, but Just
told him the house was the third in
America, and that was the way the
letter came to the right man.-New
