questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers OF this

This is a good sized house accord
ing to modern ideas, being % feet by
40 feet six inches on the ground; and
the roof is high enough to make room
for three bedrooms and a bathroom
on the second floor, besides all the
closet room any one wants-which Is
making a strong statement. because
some women want two closets for
each bedroom and an extra one In
the hall for house linen.
The roof on this house Ia different
from the ordinary house roof in that
it has an extra wide projection with
out having the cornice boxed in. We
are liable to get into the habit or
doing things in one certain way until
we think nothing else will do, but the
fact is the extra lumber nailed into
the cornice adds very little to the
comfort Of the house.
Generally speaking, it Is a good pol
icy not to add anything to the ex-
pense of house that is not necessary
either for health, comfort or looks.
A heavy boxed cornice Is not neces
sary for either health or comfort and
there is a good chance for an argu-
ment when It comes to looks. Sy
extending the roof boards in this man.
ner you get a valuable protection 10
the building and that Is the main OBJ
ject of roof. The shape and design
give it an artistic effect. A strong ar
gument in it's favor is its cheapness.
A projection of this kind can be made
much easier than any style of boxed

the smoked variety and goes farther.
Buy on Friday and soak over night In
strong salt water. Cook the next
morning in plenty Of water, well salt
ed. Add one-half cupful Of cooked
rice to the water and you will have an
excellent broth for luncheon or dinner
on Saturday. On Sunday slice the

or sauce. One can also cut out enough
meat from around the root of tongue
for a few sandwiches or to use In GRO

A shirtwaist or utility box will answer
both purposes and look better. If not
needed for soiled clothes it will do
for clean towels.

MILLER-BACH.

Mr.. Henry Miller, of this city,
and Mrs. Peter Bach, of Larned,
were united in marriage in Wich-
ita on Thursday of last week. The
wedding was quite a surprise to
the many friends of Mr.. Miller in
this city and community, and the
members of the ElkS Senate Cham
ber have since been threatening to
bring court martial proceedings
against him for failing to inform
them of the event. Mr.. Miller is
one of the prominent farmers and
land owners of the county and is
one of the best citizens of the
community. His wife is the wi
dow of the late Peter Bach, of
Larned, and is a most eStimable
woman, very highly regarded by
all who know her. They will
make their home in Larned, and
with their many other friends, the
Democrat joins in extending to
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller much happi-
ness and prosperity in their we'd
ded life.

Stafford is to have a milk con-
denSary established in that city,
the officials of the Valecia Com
pany having closed a deal with
the Stafford representatives last
week. In order to secure the plant
for their place the people of Staf-
ford have had to subscribe for
$4,000 worth of bonds of the
company and also for $4,000
worth of the company stock. The
cOndenSary proposition is a good
thing for any town, providing the
plant can be secured without too
great an outlay, but it looks as
though the people of Stafford
were paying all Il is worth and
then some.

The DeLaval saves enough over other SeparatorS in

Sklmmlng cool milk, greater capacity easier cleaning,

BARTON WILL DO HER SHARE
Concluded from Page One)


they possibly can to this cause.
The sympathy of the world has
been extended to the plucky lit
tie nation of Belgium, who, thru
ro fault Of their own have become
embrOiled in the great war now
raging in Europe until their whole
country has been utterly devas-
tailed and hundreds of thousands
OF women and children are now
suffering greatly and will con-
tinue to suffer for months to come
unless the other nations of the
world will contribute towards
their support. Not only have they
been rendered penniless, but their
towns and homes have been de-
stroyed and their needs are such
as to call for immediate relief.
No person will receive a single
cent for their work towards help
ing these people. The mills OF
Great Bend and elsewhere have
agreed to grind, sack and load
all wheat free of charge, which
means to them a real loss of al
least five cents on each forty-eight
pound sack of flour. The rail
roads will transport il to the sea-
coast and the steamship COM
panleS to the Belgium ports with
out cost. The German, French
and English nations have agreed
that the cargoes shall be protected
and will reach their destination
safely, and a representative from
this country will be on the ground
to see that every pound of flour
is wisely and fairly distributed
Kansas and Barton county have
reaped a great benefit from the
awful war now going on, for un-
doubtedly the price of wheat is
much higher than it would have
been otherwise, and with a crou
OF almost six million bushels in
the state, the people, and especial.
ly the farmers who have directly
benefited, can afford to contri.
butte literally the cause. No mat.

but the following is the report of

the contributions received by the
Great Bend committee up until

Some Separator Facts

All other cream SeparatOrS made today, excepting
n0ne are constructed upon either discarded or abandoned
DELAVAL inventions, in consequence of which the very
best OF them are barely equal to the DELAVAL machines
of ten years ago.
The DELAVAL has received all highest honorS and
flrst prizes at every important Exposition Worlds Fair
etc. held within the past thirty wears. and is the ony
separator which is used in every country in the world
Ninetyeight per cent of the worlds creameries and
butter factories today use DELAvAL machines excIu-
Sively.
More than 100000 DELAVAL machines many
times all others combined have been sold to date.
There can be no better recommendation for the DE-
LAVAL than the fact that the men who make the Sepa-
ratOno milk business use the DELAVAL to the prac-
tica exclusion Of all other makes They know from ex
perience.
