TRACTS CLEARED OF MALARIA
Gratifying Progress Has Been Made by Those Interested in Conquer
 ing the Disease.

Malaria, to which children are sus- ceptible. has been made largely a pre- ventable disease by study of the mosquito carrier, its breeding places and natural history, and by inocula- tion experiments on animals and man.
 It was proved by Italian observers that the mosquito disseminates bird malaria in the same manner as in the human subject.
 The final upshot of these investiga- tions has been that large tracts of hitherto waste and dangerous land have been rendered safe and produc- tive. A widespread cause of debilitat- ing sickness, and even of death, has thus been removed
 In such areas the saddest sight has been the stunted, anemic children, with enlarged livers and spleens, the evidences of chronic malarial poison ing. that can now be obviated by put ting modern knowledge into effect.

GOOD FOR EITHER
 FARM 0R VILLAGE
rians for cozy Cottage That Has Been Designed for a
 Dual Purpose.
HAS MANY EXCELLENT POINTS
Extreme of Comfort in Interior, With Most Artistic Outside Appearance, Has Been Achieved by the Perfectly Drawn Plans of
 the Architect.

A cozy cottage for either farm or village is shown in the perspective and detail drawings.
 This design proves that a farm cot tage may be ornamental as well as useful and it may contain most of the so-cailed improvements. Pumping en- zines are becoming so common on farms that home waterworks simply amount to supplying tank and the necessary piping. together with a small expenditure of money for a kitchen sink and the necessary bath room fixtures. As small a sum as sl0O will pay for the whole outfit if the cheaper kinds of enamel ware are se- lected. The water pipe and fittings cost the same in any case, except that higher prices are sometimes paid for small quantities.
 Kerosene and gasoline engines have been so much improved that pumping water for house and barn use on the farm is quite pleasant job. The cost of house water tap is less than it costs in the cities when figured ac- cording to proper bookkeeping meth ods. The yearly cost is figured by charging six per cent interest on the investment and ten per cent for the de- preciation, but the plant is credited with the labor of pumping by hand for both the house and barn, so that bal ance is always put to the credit of the waterworks system.
 The front Of this beautiful little cot tage is made attractive by the manner in which it is designed to give it such a comfortable. cozy appearance.
 It will be noticed that the concrete

ly well liked and is not only appetiz- ing but highly nutritive.
 Rice and Eas.-Put a quarter of a cupful of rice with two tablespoonfuls of hot fat into a frying pan. cook un- til the rice is brown. then add enough water to simmer slowly until the rice is tender Add three or four eggs and half cupful of milk to the rice and stir until well mixed and the eggs delicately cooked. Season with salt and few dashes of paprika and serve with ho. buttered rolls.
 Pepper Rarebit.-Cook one table spoonful of butter with two of chopped green pepper and one and a half tablespoonfuls of chopped onion three minutes. stirring constantly. Add a half cupful of tomato put through a ricer. cook two minutes: then add half pound of rich cheese. cut in bits. and. when nearly melted. stir in one egg beaten lightly. Serve on salted wafers or toasted buttered bread
 Parsley Potatoes. - Cut potatoes with a cutter into small balls. cook in boiling salted water, drain and shake in a dish of melted butter, with finely chopped parsley. Salt and a few dashes of red pepper are added. then serve as a garnish f" platter of poached eggs.

ing it. Bake a gingerbread in a sheet and when hot, cut in halves and spread one half with a generous layer of marshmallows, cover with the oth- CT half, put into the oven and bake five minutes. Remove and serve with whipped cream.
 Ginger Puadins Cream a half cup ful of butter, add gradually n quarter of cupful of sugar, two eggs well beaten. one cupful of milk and two and half cupfuls of four mixed and sifted with three teaspoonfuls of bak- ing powder: add a fourth of a cupful of canton ginger cut in bits, turn into a buttered mold and steam two hours. Serve with whipped cream, favored with the ginger sirup.
 Lemon and Orange sherbet-Take half cupful each of orange juice and lemon juice. two cupfuls of sugar and pint of thin cream, freeze and serve In sherbet glasses.
 Coffee Sponee.-Mix one and a half cupfuls of coffee infusion with half cupful of milk and one-third of cup full of sugar. add a tablespoonful of gelatin which has been softened in a little of the coffee: put into dou- ble boiler and add the yolks of three eggs. slightly beaten. a pinch of salt and a third of a cupful of sugar When cooked to coat the spoon re- move from the heat and fold in the beaten whites of three eggs and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Turn into in dividual molds. dipped in water and set away to chill. Serve with whipped cream favored with vanilla
 Whipped Cream Cake. No more delicious dessert can be imagined than good layer cake of two layers, filled with sweetened whipped cream and the top covered with it. If one wishes to have the cake more elabo- rate, bananas, pineapple or candied cherries may be added to the cream. However. 1t is sufficiently satisfying with plain whipped cream.
