First Floor Plan.

The front steps here shown are ten
feet wide In the clear between the
ramps. and the front door is built in
proportion. The door is four feet six
IN width and is fianked on both sides
with the old-fashioned front door side.

to be plentiful. but they went out of
fashion 20 years or 30 years ago. They
are now coming back into use because
OF real merit.
The floor plans of this house are
iust as interesting as the perspective
There are three living rooms and re-
ception hall on the first floor and there
are four good square bedrooms and a
bathroom on the second floor The
living room and dining room are con-
nected by an archway wide enough so
that the two rooms may be made into
one by opening both doors clear back.
For this reason the buffet sideboard
is built against the back end of the
dining room to avoid any unnecessary
obstruction in the main part OF the
room. The living room and dining
room are both made especially light
and airy by two triple windows and
three single windows. The present
fashion Is to have plenty Of light in
the living rooms. and 1t is a good
fashion that should remain in vogue
for the next thousand years. The his
tory of house windows reads wider
with each century.
An interesting feature of this house
is the manner in which the stairway is

Service Is a Hard One.

Most naval air mechanics are ac-
complished swimmers. and possess q
constitution of iron When the navy's
great seaplanes are launched the me-
chanics generally have to wade up to
their necks into the water to
maneuver the machine from the shore.
To plunge into icy cold water in the
half light of dawn is not a pleasant
task, yet it is one which the sailor
mechanics have to carry out almost
daily. In rough seas the waves break
over their Leads. and the seaplane
they are maneuvering is tossed about
like cork. Ye+ in true naval spirit
the mechanics of the naval air serv-
ice carry out their hazardous duties
cheerfully.

WATCH MOVEMENTS OF BIRDS

to the flight and cries of birds at
night. writes Frederick G. Cooke of

in the Strand Magazine. If you hear

pigeons crashing out of thicket, then

FEED CHILDREN

Big Dividends.

II parents will give just little In
telligent thought to the feeding Of
their children the difference in the
health of the little folks will pay,
many times over, for the small trouble
A mother writes: Our children are
all so much better and stronger than
they ever were before we made q
change in the character of the food.
We have quit using potatoes three
times day with coffee and so much
meat.
Now we give the little folks some
fruit, either fresh, stewed, or canned,
some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa-
sionally some soft boiled eggs, and
some Postum for breakfast and sup
per. Then for dinner they have some
meat and vegetables.
1T would be hard to fully describe
the change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong. and We
attribute this change to the food ele-
ments that, understand, sxist in
Grape-Nuts and Postum.

ADAPTED FOR WAR OR PEACE
spanish-American Machete Useful lr
pIement or Deadly Weapon. as
Is Preferred.

Because it is as useful in peace
as in war, the Spanish American ma
chete has distinction of its
own as a weapon. 1t is a sword,
spade, hedging-bill, ak, hatchet and
pruning knife. It is first cousin to
the United States cavalry saber and
almost every male in Spanish Ameri-
can countries above the age of child
hood carries one. The laborer car
ries it to cut sugar cane, prepare FIRE
wood and trench ground for his crop.
The horseman wears it 10 cut mis-
way through woodlands during jour-
neys over rough country. The hi
dalgo wears it with sllvered hilt and
tasseled scabbard. His humber neigh
Dor. is content to carry 1t bare, and
hilted with horn, wood or leather.
The machete is made in about 30
different forms and the blade varies
in length from 10 to 20 inches. 1t
may be blunt, pointed, curved or
straight, broad narrow: the favor
ite with the laDorer is Of medium
length, with unornamented handle and
broad. straight blade.

closet doors open into the hallway.
The attic is of use only for storage
purposes and for the drying of clothes

there is sensible stairway leading up

1t is necessary to have good wide
