 This cellar is divided into cold stor- age room, laundry and furnace room and bins for the storage of coal. Mod ern housekeeping requirements de mand conveniences for doing the nee essary work as well as in providing supplies for future use.
 The construction materials selected for house like this depend somewhat on the climate. But on general prin- ciples, the building should be thor oughly well built. Well-built walls, ceilings and floors are warm in winter and cool in summer.
 The specifications for this bungalow call for sheathing boards and building paper under the clapboards or other outside finish. The sheathing boards are of good quality, well seasoned, to prevent shrinkage. Then good grade of building paper is used. Such 2 house is comfortable in cold weather or hot weather. A weil-made house wall is protection against heat and cold.

 The anti-hog-cholera serum used in the prevention of hog cholera is ob- tained from hogs that have recovered from an attack of cholera and have been rendered very strongly resistant to the disease. The modern serum laboratory is a manufactory in the full sense of the word.
 Healthy hogs are purchased either at home or at some market; they are vaccinated upon arrival at the serum plant, and good care is taken of them for three weeks. At the end of that time they have fully recovered from the effects of vaccination and are what are termed immunes. At the end of this time, the immunes are given very large doses of very yirulent hog-chol- era blood. This blood is obtained in the better serum companies by buying healthy one hundred to one hundred and fifty-pound hogs. inoculating them with cholera blood alone. These virus hogs are killed as soon as they show high temperatures and visible signs of cholera. Their blood is carefully col lected in bottles or jars. the fibrin fil- tered out and the resulting fluid is the virus used for injecting into the i'm munes. Large quantities of virus are given each immune. a 200-pound hog receiving from one to two quarts of this very yirulent blood. depending on the method used in injecting it. This dose of virus renders the immune very strongly resistant to cholera. and he is now what is termed hyperimmune. Ten days after the injection of virus, if the hyperimmune is in good health. the first bleeding is done. Since the tail offers the only place available without danger of bleeding to death. it is se- lected as the place for bleeding. A small piece of the tail is cut of and the blood, flowing from the cut. Is col lected in bottles. After q certain quan- tity Is collected. the amount being governed by the size of the hog, the tail is tied 10 prevent further bleeding. and the hog released. A week later the hog can be bled again. One week after the second bleeding. third bleed ing is done. At this time the serum from the hyperimmune is becomingless potent and the hog is rehyperimmu- nized by fresh injection of virus. Al ter the tail is clipped too short for further use. the hog is killed and all of the blood is collected. In some plants that are close by packing house one bleeding is done. The hog is killed at the time of the first bleeding and the blood collected. The carcass is inspected and passed for food if the tissues are normal
 After the blood is collected in the bottles the fibrin is filtered out, the

Charles Martin Hall died at Daytona, Fla, the other day. His name will soon be forgotten by the public, but one of his inventions will continue to serve as an increasingly important factor in the industrial world. Hall discov- cred the electrolytic process for the manufacture of aluminium. In 1855 aluminium sold for s50 a pound, and was used exclusively in jewelry. It was rare and costly because of the diff ficulty of separating it from the clay in which it abounds. When Hall was conducting his experiments in the lab oratory of Oberlin university, alumi- nun was selling for SIP a pound. To day, as result of his process.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
 HAIR STOPS FALLING
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautifui-No More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after . few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty 0f your hair. No diff ference how duil. faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at time. The effect is amaz- ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, ana have an appearance Of abundance; an incomparable luster, softness and luxuriance.
 Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any-that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that's all-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try lit tie Danderine. Adv.
