A certain Kansas shoe firm has
evolved an advertising scheme which
at once contains an element of human
interest and good business pulling
powers. This house watches the To-
cal birth record carefully, and sends
to each mother the following letter:
We've heard the good news, and I'M
derstand the stork left a "million-dol-
lar" package at your home recently.
That's fine-you have our congratula-
tons.
I'VE sincerely hope the little strang-
er keeps well, grows strong and
healthy, and proves to be a priceless
addition to your family.
May we have the pleasure Of pre-
senting you with its first pair of
shoes? Cordially yours,
BLANK & co.
"P. S.--Please bring this letter with
you and receive baby's first shoes,
with our compliments
The results of this scheme have
been astonishing, It Is said.

CALLED FATHER OF SCIENCE
Truly Wonderful Thinker and I'M
ventor Wac Archimedes, Famous
Through the Centuries

On December 10 of the year PIP B,
c. persisted the great Archimedes,
murdered by brutal, ignorant Roman
soldier, as he sat with bowed head in
his house at Syracuse thinking out
the mighty problems of science.
Archimedes was born at Syracuse,
Sicily, B. c. 2S7, and was therefore at
the time of his death seventy-fva
years old. He was the greatest man
of his day, and will ever rank as one
of the profoundest thinkers and rea,
soners of all time. In mathematics
and natural philosophy he had no peer
on earth, and it is not too much to
say that he is fairly entitled to be
called the father of science" He
would have discovered the differen,
tial calculus had algebra been known
in his day, and he came very near
doing so even as it was. He antici-
pated the astronomical system subse-
quently worked out by Copernicus
He laid the foundation of hydrostatics
He invented the method for the deter
mination of specific gravity. He for
mulated the true theory of the lever
and uttered the ever famous words,
Give me wherein to stand and | will
move the earth" In theoretical me-
chanics no advance was made upon
his ideas during the eighteen centu-
ries between him and Leonardo da
Vinci.
1t was Archimedes who invented the
endless screw, the most important me-
Chanical continuance known to science.
From the teeming brain of the old Syr-
acusan came also the idea of the
screw pump, the hydraulic engine and
the burning mirror. He was the Gre
atOr of the catapult, the artillery of
the olden time, whose dreadful bolts
we're the terror of ancient armies. He
invented another engine, the ponder
Gus claws of which, reaching over the
walls, lifted up ships and their crews
and then suddenly dropped them into
the sea. while with his great sun
glasses" he was able to set on fire
such of the enemies ships as could
not be reached with the graphing ma
chine.
1t took the world 1000 years to pro-
duce the equal of the mighty intellect
that was brutally snuffed out by the
blow from the mace of that brutal Re-
man soldier

as to the overenthusiasm of It's deyo-
tees, who have advocated it for pur-
poses and locations for which it was
never intended
Designed originally for summer cot
,tage work and for spacious building
sites, preferably of a hilly nature,
there have been too many instances
where this type of dwelling has been
squeezed into narrow city lot and
put in between high houses of two or
three stories. much to the detriment
tof the typical bungalow style Much
very peculiar art has been perpetrated
in the name of the bungalow, and it
has to accoun, for many freakish
dwellings for which it is not in any
way to blame.
We have never happened to see
bungalow style office building, nor do
we remember having heard of one;
still, what is almost as bad, the bunga-
low style church is quite a common
thing in many Of our cities and sub
urbs. These are uses never contem-
plated by the originators of the bung-
allow in this country and should not
be charged up against the style. The
bungalow, rightly understood, is an
artistically designed cottage, and with
in that sphere has some exceedingly
creditable features of work to show.
The estimated cost of the house
here shown ranges from $500 to
$4,000, depending to some extent on
the locality and on local market con
ditions of material and labor The de-
sign has that simplicity and direct
ness which are the keynotes charac-
teristic of the bungalow style of

a plain, unornamented cottage with
the same accommodations, real
home-like. coy and attractive dwell
ing is secured.
The porch, as can be seen, is a
prominent feature adding to the ex-
iternal appearance; and the same is
true of every typical bungalow. This
,one is feet wide by 10 feet s
inches long, extending along almost
the entire front of the dwelling, sup
ported by massive pillars, and the
coping of the inclosing wall affording
a convenient scheme of further adorn-
ment by the use Of flower boxes and
vases. 1t forms not only the main
decorative features of the front of the
building, but serves the extremely
practical end Of being the outdoor
living room for the family in summer
weather.
Entering the house, we find the en-
tire front portion given up to a living
room, 16 by ID feet opening directly

WINTER SALADS.

One really has large field to work
from during cold weather by using
canned vegetables. There is hardly a
meal that all the food is consumed,
and few peas, with the sauce re-
moved, added to the same amount of
peanuts and half as much in quantity
of chopped sour pickles with a salad
dressing, makes a good salad.
A good salad dressing which is re-
liable and which can be varied as to
seasonings is the following: Beat
four eggs until foamy, add a half cup
of sugar and then turn in a half cup
of hot mild vinegar. stirring in a
double boiler with the egg whisk all
the time it is cooking. The dressing
will be creamy, rich and delicious.
The amount of dressing needed may
be used with whipped cream for fruit
salad with the addition of a little
salt
Hazel Nut Salad.-Shell and blanch
filberts or hazel nuts and chop rather
fine; do not grind. Then add cup
of grated pineapple, two chopped ap-
pies, a tablespoonful of lemon juice
and little powdered sugar. Let
stand, and serve with salad dressing
added just before serving
MarshmalIow Salad,-Cut ten cents
worth of fresh marshmallows into
quarters with the scissors. add a half
cupful of nuts broken in small pieces,
the same amount of dates seeded and
cut. Pour over a cupful of sweetened
whipped cream, stir and mix well,
then add a few maraschino cherries.
Date and Cottage Cheese Salad
Remove the stones from dates and
fill with sweetened cottage cheese. Roll
the dates in chopped nuts, then in
salad dressing and again in nuts, Car
nish with candied cherries.
Sweetbread Salad.-Cut cold sweet
breads into small pieces and set on
ice. Arrange a bed of lettuce and dis
pose the sweetbreads in it mixed with
nuts. Pour over any boiled dressing
and serve very cold
Cold cooked beets cut in even cubes
and mixed with nuts and salad dress
ing which is colored with the beet
liquor makes a most appetizing salad
A little celery and apple may be add
ed for a change.

Ducks and Geese,

Ducks and geese will stand rather
low temperatures if they are sheltered
from the wind and the floor is well
bedded with clean dry straw. They
should be given their liberty whenever
they choose to go outside. Their
shelter should open toward the south.
A house OF this style is a splendid
shelter for ducks and geese and costs
very little to build. The ducks and
geese run together in the house ex-
cept at feeding time, when the ducks
are fed al a separate trough.

A FEW FROZEN DISHES.

Frozen dishes are quite as popular
in the winter as in the warm weather.
Here are few worth trying:
Coffee Frappe.-To a quart OF cot
fee infusion add six tablespoonfuls of
sugar. Strain through a cheese cloth
and pour into the freezer. AS it thick
ems add the beaten whites of two eggs
beaten to a stiff froth, and continue
to freeze. Scrape down, remove the
dasher and pack to ripen for an hour
or more.
Maple Mousse.-Whip quart of
cream until thick. Break the yolks
Of three eggs into bowl and beat I'M
til light, then add gradually one cup
full of maple strip. Mix we'll, then
stir gradually into the cream. Pour
into the freezer without the dasher,
cover and pack in ice and salt for four
hours.
Lemon Sherbet-Boil together two
quarts Of water and a pint of sugar;
cook until clear, skimming if neces-
sary. Squeeze the juice from six lem
ons, add a little of the grated rind.
When the strip is clear pour in the
lemon juice, add a tablespoonful of
gelatine which has been softened in
a quarter of cup of cold water, cool
and freeze The whites of two eggs
may be added in place of the gelatine
if so desired. The ice does not melt
so readily and has more body if gela-
tine or eggs is added.
Lemon Milk Sherbet.-Take the
juice of three lemons, two cupfuls of
sugar and a quart of rich milk; strain
the lemon juice add a bit of rind, if
it is liked, and when the sugar is dis
solved, freeze.
Another. fully as good as the above
is three oranges, three lemons, a pint
of cream and sugar to sweeten.

The Missouri experiment station
has found as the result of Analysing
great many samples of alfalfa that as
much as % per cent of these samples
contain dodder while in the case of
red clover seed 16 per cent. of the
samples carried percentage OF dod-
der.
Dodder grows in a peculiar way and
instead Of feeding upon the soil like
other plants. it lives upon the juices
of the legume. In appearance it is
a "yellowish leafiess vine" it entwines
the legume plants and If 1t is not
checked it will entirely destroy the
crop.

The destruction of this pest means
that drastic measure must be APP
piled, namely the cutting of the in
tested portion of the field and the
burning of the product when it has
become dried out 1t is suggested by
Prof J. c. Hackelman of the Mis-
souri, station, that where the patches
are small it will pay to scatter straw
over the surface before burning in
order to insure complete eradication.
Special attention is called to the fact
that the removal of infested hay from
one part of the field to the other can
only result in communicating larger
area.

THE HOMELY TURNIP.

There is no more delicious, sweet,
juicy vegetable, If taken fresh from
the field, than the turnip, and it's ten
der crispness is enjoyed eaten from
the hand, as is a carrot. If the vege-
table is well masticated they are every
bit as good as a radish in the menu.
II the turnip is not tough and full
of fiber, it is most deliciously served
boiled and mashed, with plenty Of
butter for seasoning.
Slices of boiled turnip fried until
brown make a good accompaniment to
sliced cold roast.
English Turnip.-Pell, slice and
cut in dice sufficient turnip then boil
in salt water, season with butter, pep
per and salt, and serve hot. Any of
the turnip which is left may be com
bined with potato and served with
dressing on lettuce
Turnip Straws.-Cut the turnip on
vegetable slicer into straws, cook
in sailed water until tender, then
saute in butter until brown, Use as a
garnish for roast or turkey.
When MASKING turnips add to ira
butter, pepper and salt, tiny pinch
of mustard. and lastly a few table
spoonfuls OF cream. The addition of
mustard must be done with great
care. The French people are fond of
turnips prepared this way.
Turnip in White Sauce.-Cut turnip
in cubes or dice and boil until tender.
then serve in rich white sauce made
of cup of thin cream, a tablespoon
full each of butter and -four When
the butter is bubbling hot add the
flour, and when that is well mixed add
the cream and a half teaspoonful of
salt.
Turnip Fritters.-These are as good
as parsnip fritters and make an agree
able change. Take a small amount of
mashed, seasoned turnip, drop into a
fritter batter until coated, then fry
in deep fat.
