Little Sister Also Curious.

My brother, aged two and one-half,
and sister, four, were taught to always
mind their own affairs and let other
peoples alone, but when l came home
from a days shopping loaded with
bundles Johnny could not resist asking
what they contained, who they were
for, etc. being tired from the days
shopping told him two or three things,
but he insisted upon knowing what
all contained, so | considered it my
duty to tell the young man to mind
his own affairs, as he had been taught
to do, and go to play. Johnny went
away grieved. His little sister, lis
teuing to all this, remarked: isn't
Johnny awful 'nosy,' sister?" had
no more than said Yes" when she
came over and whispered, What have
you got in the rest?"-Chicago Trib-

by means of wide concrete steps with
easy treads and risers.
The overhanging porch is supported
by one heavy column built up of rough
surface brick in a manner to convey a
distinctive characteristic effect. Also
the easement window which lights the
large living room is an interesting
feature.
The projection of the window box
a.swers a useful purpose inside of the

careful work than carpenters are in

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, PraO-

Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested in devel-
oping the agricultural resources OF
Western Canada IA bringing 10 the
notice OF those whom they desire 10
take part In this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming In
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor but It has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either In money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds OF cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either a homestead, or purchased from
railways or land companies, and with
little capital at the start have ac'
qulred a competence, have established
good homes for themselves, and Iro-
vlded a sure future. They have com

About fifty miles west Of Wetaski-

this would seem to be an ideal place
for a farmer who desired such sur

shore Of Buck Lake, his land is willow

of tho lumber is good saw timber,
and lots of good logs for buildings can
be had, as we'll as rails for fencing.
For wheat growing the soil is excel

Care of Rronzes.

Genuine bronzes must never be
washed with soap and water. Occa-
sionally they may be washed with
pure beer, but it should be done very
rarely. 1t is sufficient to dust them
regularly with the aid of soft brush
and a soft chamois leather
Steel things also require daily dust
ing if they are to be kept bright, and
it is essential not to let them become
wet, since dampness is very difficult
to remove. Once a week steel orna-
ments should be polished with fine en-
cry paper and then given final rub
up with powdered brick dust and a
soft duster or leather. Once in three
weeks a paste made of emery powder
and paraffin oil may be advantageous
ly used in place of the dry emery
powder.

HOW NOISE BREAKS WINDOW
Sound Waves in the Air Have only TO
Be Powerful Enough to Get
Results.

Noise is an irregular wave in the air
which is a real thing, and has weight
and power, remember. A wave of air
may break a window exactly as the
wave in the sea will break break
water, though, as the name tells US,
the breakwater will break the wave
as long as that wave is not too strong
II you will think a minute you will
see that every time noise gets
through a shut window It shakes the
window. If the noise is coming in
from the street the air outside is
thrown into waves which pass through
It until they strike the window, and
shake It; then the window shakes the
air inside the room in exactly the
same way as the air outside shook it,
only perhaps not quite so strongly.
And so the noise reaches you, just as
If you had heard it outside, only not
quite so loud Well, plainly, the noise
has only to be loud enough-that is to
say, the waves in the air have only to
be big enough-to shake the window
more than it can stand, and then 1t
breaks.

The statistics of insanity show that
tn minds of men and women are often
made aberrant through the steady
drive Of environment, in which the
simple life and the squirting city life
are equally at fault. The figures show
the per capita Of insanity differs little
in city and country. Rural solitude and
the abnormal life of the city are alike
responsible for mental diseases. 1t is
as bad for man to be too much alone
as 1t is for him to be surrounded by
perfervid life. The history of the race,
the inquiries of investigators and the
judgment of specialists in the diseases
of mind and body tell us that the we'll

Floor Plan.

requires little ingenuity to make the
turns and spllces. But the desired re.
suits are well worth little extra care
and time to piece out the building pa
per to make it cover all corners and
openings left between the sheathing
boards.
An extra hours work spent in this
way will be worth dollars every win

The general manner Of building pro-
vides an extension to the main build
ing which runs back about eighteen
feet to make room for kitchen, pantry
and back sranda. The bathroom also
takes up some space in the extension.
A cellar stair goes down from the
kitchen and has a landing with steps
turning to the right into the furnace
cellar or to the left into the storage
cellar.
The cellar walls are built in such a
way that solid concrete or stone wall
divides the cold storage part of the
cellar from the furnace room This
wall makes 1t possible to have stor.

cold in winter, so that fruit and vege-

Proper Use of Perfumes.

Scents and perfumes are adapted to
different individuals and personalities.
The petite blonde woman should use
a different scent from the brunette;
the languid, sensuous beauty should
indulge in perfumes forbidden to the
demure woman, or to one having
lively temperament. Blue and brown
eyed women should use different
scents. Even the various rooms of a
house should be perfumed differently.
The hall, the dining room, the parlor,
the bedroom all should have their dis
tinctive and individual odors. They
should not be too strong, but should
be typical Of the room they specify.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1915-03-19

Portable in winter. 1t is just as neces.
sary to keep out the heat as it is to
keep out the cold. A furnace may be
left out for a while after building, but
the big chimney is worth more than
it costs. 1t should be made a feature
to talk about.
The increased selling value of the
farm on account of having such a
beautiful cottage house on 1t is an
other business argument when 1t
comes to weighing the merits of real
comfortable farm equipment.
