It's lines are effective and beautiful.
Unfortunately, in many cases, home
builders are compelled to build on lots
that are too small to display adequate
ly the beauties of the structures they
erect. Whenever it is possible the
lot should be large enough to provide
an ample lawn for flowers and shrub

MOWERS and shrubs, they should be so
placed that they will be in harmony
with the house and seem to be a part
of it,
This cottage is 20 feet wide and 33
feet inches long. One of the marked
features of the design is the porch con-
structed of cobblestones The founda-
ton is of the same material. In many
cases the stone for this purpose can
be collected on the building site or
near it. The effect of stone used in
this way is one Of strength and sub
stantiality. Directly opening from the
porch is a living room 10 feet by II

fireplace that will add cheer to the
home in the chill days of spring and
fall. Opening from the living room is
the dining room. This room is 10 feet,
square. The kitchen back of the
dining room is the same size. This
house is designed for couple whose
needs will not require much room. In
the absence of pantry, cupboard
for culinary articles can be built in the
kitchen.
A bedroom feet inches by IL feet

room, and a window gives view out
onto the porch. Back of the bedroom,

TO PROTECT OUR EXPORTERS
Utterance of President Wilson Gives
Big Impetus to American
Foreign Trade.

Washington, Oct 14.-In one of the
most important utterances since the
beginning of the European war Pres
iderrt Wilson gave tremendous inn
petus to American foreign trade, and
incidentally to the expansion of the
American Merchant marine
The president said that the United
States is prepared to protect to the
utmost the rights of shippers of Amer
lean exports when such goods are be-
ing transported in vessels flying neu-
trail flags. This is an assurance of
protection from confiscation by bel
ligerents of the following classes of
exports:
Grain, meat, and other food and all
other conditional contrabands of war
consigned to any destination in neu-
trail countries or to belligerent coun-
tries for the consumption by nom
combatants only.
Arms, mules, horses, and other alb
solute contraband of war consigned
to neutral countries and not for the
use of the present belligerents.
If the policy announced by the pres
ident is carried out the United States
will insist that justice be done the
shippers of American goods in neu-
trail vessels which may be seized by
a belligerent.

MENACE MEXICO CITY
zAPATA soRcl:s ATTACK SUB,
uREs OF THE CAPITAL.
Reign Of Terror Follows Until They
Agree Not to Turn Guns on
to City.

Mexico City, Oct 14.-An attack
Saturday night on San Angel. Xochi-
mileo, and other suburbs of Mexico
City by adherents of Emllian Zapata,
caused a reign of terror in the capital.
The suspense was relieved when it
was officially announced that Zapata's
followers had agreed to cease all fight
ing until the termination of the peace
conference between the northern and
southern constitutionalist generals at
Aguas Calientes. The troubles in the
suburbs were satisfactorily adjusted.
The invaders entered San Angel at
seven o'clock Saturday night, and
heavy firing, was begun. The tele-
phone operators we're compelled to
fee from the exchange, making COM
munication between the suburbs and
the city proper difficult.
The government Immediately inn
pressed a number of the striking
street car motormen into service and
rushed 1900 men with artillery to San
Angel to re-eAforce the garrison there.
Fighting in the streets between the
Xochimileo was surrounded by the
Zapata men, and re-enforcementS also
were rushed to that place on tram
cars which were impressed into serv-
ice
The authorities of Mexico City ex-
pressed fear of a general attack, and
families living in Coyoacan and Mix
coac began moving into the city.
The feeling of intense suspense in
the capital, however, was allayed
when the official statement gave as
surances that Mexico City would not
be attacked.

First. The gastric fluid cells lose their power to secrete.
 Second. The muscle cells of the heart lose their strength.
 Third. The poisoned cells of the arteries make the walls weak.
 Fourth. The injured cells of the kidneys make it impossible for those organs to excrete poisonous waste.
 Fifth. The cells of the liver are hardened and become con- nective tissue and the liver shrinks into small, hard organ.
 Sixth. The cells of the stomach are so affected by alcohol that it's movements are much slower than they should be.
 Seventh. The thickening of the cells of the blood vessels make the channel of the tube smaller and the heart must work harder to force the blood through Eighth. The greatest evil through alcoholic poisoning |comes to the brain. Alcohol has | Ia special craving for the cells of the brain.
