The kitchen arrangements are
planned to save work for the house
keeper. The kitchen, pantry, cellar
stair and back porch are all built to-

ment is all that could be desired In
any sized house, the back porch being
sheltered by the house ON two sides,
and it may be easily made into an ad-
ditional workroom for use As the
weather permits.
This little back porch Is intended
to be closed in with lattice work and
fly screens, and of course there should
be a climbing vine at the back of the
house that will help to make this lit
tie back porch attractive.
One good feature of modern homes
is the care taken of the back lot.
Often 1t is as carefully kept as the
front, and more attractive, because
it is larger and there are more aj-
vantages in the way Of planting
shrubs and flowers. A great many
thrifty house owners employ part OF
the ground in the growing of small
fruits and vegetables. The sentiment
in cities is favoring the economical
use of back yards, and the idea Is
good one, both in regard 20 economy
and looks.
The value Of house property Is gov.
erned a good deal by the manner IN
which the outside of the house is kept
and painted and the lot planted and
cultivated.

that public opinion will not permit

succeeded in making everyone believe
that Kansas was wholly rich as we'll

And his home town. Emporia. is the
goat For years the College of En-
poria has been largely supported by
means Of donations from wealthy

rich patrons read Mr. Whites clever
but misleading article they withdrew
their subscriptions. This year the
college must look to home for the an.
nual donation of 100000. which used
to come out Of the East"
The National w. C. T. U. Bureau Of

Mr.. White sends also the following
