Possible Cancer Cure.

Great popular interest has been de-
monstrated in Germany in the use
of mesothorium as cancer cure.
Rich persons are solicited to give
money with which to secure this ma
terial for charitable institutions, and
in other places various means are re-
sorted to for the securing of funds.
This material is secured from the
thorium waste Of the gas mantle in
dustry, and, while it seems to have
been very beneflcially used in thera-
peutics, the physicians say that it is
too early to put entire faith in the,
remedy For the therapeutic use a
tiny particle is inclosed in silver,

said to slowly, but surely. eradicate

bright and cheerful, having broad win
dow spaces, a built-in seat, and
practical fireplace. A cased opening
connects the living room and dining
room, making practically one room,
and giving exceptional spaciousness
in cottage of this size. The ar
rangement between the kitchen and
dining room is very good for conven-
lent housekeeping and few steps.
There is also direct connection be-
tween kitchen and front hall--a very
good feature. Too many houses are
so arranged that the living room has
to be chased through every time one
has occasion to answer the front door
bell. which not only disturbs those
sitting there, but also dirties this
room unnecessarily and makes too
many steps.
The bedroom is of good size, opens
off the front hall and is supplied with
a large-sized clothes closet ventilated
and lighted by means of a good-sized
window. There is also a lighted
clothes closet for hanging coats and
hats, just beside the front door. The
bathroom has an inconspicuous loca-
ton, and is at the same time conven-
lent 1t, too. has a large closet for
linen, etc.
Although the second floor Of this
house is not important, still it fur

is well lighted and ventilated, and
serves to keep the first floor cool
Some people have objected to the
bungalow on the ground that it is too
hot; but, with an attic space of this
size, well ventilated, no trouble of
this kind will be experienced.

house is in a very appropriate bunga-

stained with creosote oil. The foun-

The word bungalow" is an Anglo
Indian term, meaning in India a
species of rural villa, house of light
construction, usually of unbaked brick
with thatched roof. The bungalows
which are the residences of Euro
peans in India are of all styles and
sizes, according to the taste and
wealth of the owner In its earlier
use by white men, the word "bunga-
low" was taken to denote a lightly
constructed habitation, not exceeding
one story in height, and presumably
designed for temporary occupation.
But during the past few years bunga-
lows have been built in both the Uni
ted States and Canada as all-year
residences, and are constructed with
every regard for permanency.
They are built with heavier stud
ding and bracing than the bungalows
in California, and are sheathed solid
outside and covered with heavy build
ing paper and siding shingles. Many
of them are provided with open. fire.

canoe of the word contemplated an
upholstered building with no facilities
for heating, since it was designed,
presumably, for summer occupancy or
tropical habitation.
In America, the bungalow idea first

REPORT FROM COUNTRY CULTURE
CLUB" UF HUDSON, MISSOURI.

come before you this morning as
a member of and a delegate from the
Country Culture Club of Hudson
Missouri, to tell you, as best | can,
something of what we have striven
to accomplish through our organiza-
ton during the past year.
Our club was organized in June,
1911, with some twenty members,
and during the remainder of our
initial year our time was devoted
almost exclusively to the study OF
Home Economics. This year, how.
ever, desiring to broaden our line OF
work, we have combined Home
Economics and literature and the
enjoyment Of this line of work has
been unanimously voted a success
by our members. We meet at the
various homes on the second We'd
nesday of each month. Our motto
is "Happy Homes" and l cannot
better tell you our object, than to
quote from our Year Book, "1o be
alive in every part of our being, to
realize the possibilities that are in US,
to do all that we can, to become all
that we are capable OF becoming
this is the aim OF life" At our
annual meeting we decided to publish
and use year book, and this we have
found quite helpful in our work.
We assisted the Farm and Home
Improvement Club, another organi-
cation in our community, in giving
the home picnic and product show
in September, which was largely at.
tended and was pronounced a
splendid success. Many premium.
were given for bread, cakes, plain
and fancy sewing, corn, fruits and
vegetables--in TACT, ior very many
things which boys and girls can pro.
duce upon the farm or in the farm
home. This picnic is an annual
occurrence. At last one Dean Nun.

with an occasional father and brother,
in search OF cool spot in which to
take a "vacation." Without discuss
