Says Morphine Does not Give Pleasure

In the October American Magazine
appears a story of woman who was
a morphine fiend and then saved her
self. The story appears as the second
of a series of articles by Peter Clark
Macfarlane entitled 'Those Who Have
Come Back" s-showing how men and
women, failures or dISgraced, at
forty, have taken a new hold on life
community. Following is an extract
morphine: morphine does not give
pleasure. 1t creates pain. This is it's
ultimate and positive effect. The
pleasure it is supposed to produce is a
mere temporary form of anesthesia.
The exhilarating effect is the first
thrill of pain vibrating so rapidly one
does not recognize it as such. Let
that be written in letters as tall as
the mountains. Morphine is a pain
producer. Morphine is a nerve de-
stroyer. 1t weakens the will. 1t
disrupts the foundations of the mind"
Kaiser Joins Ranks of the Teetotalers.
A dispatch from Berlin. Germany,
says: The Kaiser has joined the
ranks Of teetotalers. He has fore
sworn the Fatherland's famous beer and
cut out its choicest wines. His favor
lite drink is now lemonade with a dash
of orange juice, but he does not force
this "Bryanade ION his guests. to
whom the usual wines are served.
These facts have leaked out since
the Kaiser returned from his vacation
cruise. Little space is given to them
in the newspapers for the same reason
perhaps as when the Minister of Edu.
cation of South German state some
time ago opposed the establishment of &
Good Templar lodge on the ground
that it threatened one of the most i'm
portant industries of Germany.
1t is reported that the Kaiser did MOI
touch an alcoholic beverage Throughout
his northern cruise. Persons who are
in close contact with him say that this
is the result of the emperor's convic
ton that alcohol lessons the working
capacity of man.
Some time ago the Kaiser demanded
the latest alcoholic statistics as t,
suicides, accidents and crimes which
resulted from moderate drinking
After study of these statistics hi

impulsiveness he cut out alcoho

candidacy was in 1906, when he de-
feated Hon. James J. Britt. His last
fight for congress was made in 1903,
when he was defeated by Hon. John
G. Grant.
In addition to these political hoRors,
Mr.. Crawford was selected as Cleve-
land elector from his district in. 1888.
While in congress he was a member
of some Of the most important com-
mittees, and during the financial up
heavals of 1907 he was serving as a
member of the committee on banking
and currency. During the same year
he was selected by Champ Clark and
John Sharp Williams to. deliver an
address on currency, and this address
was later embodied in the platform
of the national organization for the
campaign of 1908.
He was man Of remarkably keen
intellect and sound principles. He was
considered the most popular man ever
sent from his district to congress, and
his. friends everywhere were numbered

Mr. william Al. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE Of
COST ON all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers OF This
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he
r. without doubt. the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to william A. BEDFORD, No. ITS West

Although we deplore the steadily
advancing prices Of building material
and labor we are often reminded OF
the truth of the old adage that there
is no great loss without some gain.
In endeavoring to present houses that
all could afford, even at present
prices, we have learned to economic
in ways that otherwise would not
have been thought of. Particularly
Is this true in regard to space that
heretofore has been wasted in angles
and irregularly shaped rooms. We
are learning that by making the rooms
compact we can accomplish as much
in a moderately proportioned house
as we previously did in houses much
larger. We gain much by throwing
the small rooms together with wide
openings, thus getting the effect of
large, airy apartments.
In these days of flats and apart
ment houses small families are not
accustomed to living in a great big
house with parlor and sitting room
and one or two chambers. Conse-
quently the story and half cottage
is becoming very popular, and the
bungalow even more so, having all its
rooms on one floor. One large liv-
able room is a splendid substitute for
the parlor and sitting room. The
small kitchen is very popular among
the modern housewives, especially
among those who are accustomed to
the small kitchenette of the fiat. The
small house diminishes the fuel bill
and is much more easy to care for.
Many home builders are OF the opin-
ion that pantry is waste Of space.
The cupbcards can be much more
conveniently arranged about the
kitchen where they are in easy reach.
There is an independence about
owning ones home that is not felt
when rented fiat is occupied And
there is a pleasure about caring for
the lawn and garden, keeping the
place in order, that one who pays rent
does not have. Every time you go
out iRto. the yard your chest expands

fact that you are treading your own

ground. There is nobody overhead
making a noise and nobody in the
fat below taking lessons on a piccolo.
The design here shown is of story
and half cottage embodying many
of the ideas mentioned above. 1t is
"a feet wide and has length Of %
feet, exclusive of porches. This house
has been designed especially for the
family of moderate means that has an
ambition to own a home. 1t is not
expensive, and the best possible adj
vantage has been taken of the space
requirements. The cost OF this house
should not be above $4,000 complete.
The compactness Of the design is
the noticeable feature about it. Both
Of the porches, the front and the rear,
are under the roof This adds much
to the artistic appearance of the
house, and in effect these porches
can be made outdoor living rooms by
the addition of screens between the
pillars. This will be matter of
small expense, and when equipped
with chairs, rugs and couches, either
swinging or stationary, will be delight
fui places in summer evenings. AS a
matter Of fact 1t is the experience of
most families who occupy houses of
this kind that nearly ell the time is
passed on the porch.
This house can be built of frame
construction and finished either with
siding or with plaster. We would
advise the latter as being ultimately
less expensive as to upkeep, for It
will require no paint, although cost
ing at the outset little more than
siding. The ultimate cost will be
much less and besides the appearance
will be better.
Another attractive feature of this
house is the bracket effect produced
under the caves. It makes a finish to
the design.
