HEATING COUNTRY HOUSES.
Reasons Why Radiators Should Be

evil effects resultant upon a morning
spent in a room the temperature of

and cold is without any manner of

All radiators should. for two rea-

here is no warmth added to the cold

Utility. A consultation with the up

BIG BATHROOM DESIRED UNCLE SAM, INVESTOR
His First Important Real Estate
Transaction Was With
Napoleon.

Have you ever thought Of Uncle Sam
as a real estate dealer? Do you realize
that he has bought about 2,25O.000
square miles of good land at an aver
age Of a little more than cents an
acre. and incidentally ousted from
North America every nation except
England?
All his business has been done on q
big scale, says writer in the Dayton
Journal. Back in 1903 he hung out
his single, and his first client was
Napoleon. who sold him $4,000 square
miles for s15.0oO.Oo0. The territory
then purchased was eighteen times
larger than the Empire state and con-
tanned some OF the richest mines and
prairie lands in tho world, yet 1t went
for a trifle less than cents an acre.
From Ferdinand VII Of Spain, Uncle
Sam acquired Florida for $5,50O,OOO, or
a trife more than IL cents an acre In
1S4S Mexico ceded to Uncle Sam land
embracing the present states OF Ari-
zona. California and New Mexico for
Az cents an acre.
Along in 1853 Mexico got $4,000. 900
for an additional $4,000 square miles,
the top price ever paid. Fourteen years
later we purchased Alaska from Rus
STA. Uncle Sans latest acquisition was
the buying of the Philippines for 20
cents an acre.
Has the buyer made money? Every
square mile of this land which has
been homesteaded yields a profit of
$1O4 an acre, or nearly 200 per cent
No longer can good land be bought
at bargain figures. which proves that
Uncle Sam has been good investor.

Ten Feet Square Is Best Size,
According to
Writer.
From the Dayton Journal.

From the Dayton Journal.
When you build that new house,
make the bathroom big says Miss
Melva d. Harker, assistant In domes-
tic science in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College The best size for
bathroom is about ten feet square.
AS a rule, the dirtiest place in the
house is under the hathtuh. To avoid
this condition If an ordinary bathtub
is used. it should be placed in the mid
die of the room. The built-in bathtub
can be placed along the side of the
room.
In buying a porcelain tub it Is best,
If possible. to get one which has a clay
background. The porcelain which is
pla ced on an iron background chips
much more easily and the iron rusts
badly. The marble bathtub is the most
expensive kind, but stains very easily.
DO you know that a copper bathtub is
best for invalids or people with rheu-
matism? 1t Is to be preferred because
the copper does not chill as does the
porcelain
The bathroom should never be paper
ed, says Miss Harker. If you cannot
afford to use tiled walls use oilcloth
or something else that Is easily washed.
The ideal floor for the bathroom Is
made of magnesium oxide and chloride
with cork or asbestos. This has several
trade names. but is ordinarily known
as monolithic. The bathroom is more
easily cleaned If curved Dashboard
is used.
There should be only ono small rug
in the bathroom. 1t should lie along
side the tvb and be made of material
which is easily washed.
1t is very important to arrange the
lights properly in the bathroom. If a
single electric bulb hangs In the middle
of the room 1t is Impossible to get a
1Toh tn ol ri nf he
Miss Harker suggests that Several cleo
trio lights be used.
The mirror should hang above the
washbowl, and on each side of the mir
ror IT is good plan to have an cleo
trio light. Nickel fixtures are to be
preferred in the bathroom.

THE MAN AND The JOB.
IA Government En-
pIoyment Bureau.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The public Is not generally aware that
there is today in operation in the United
States such an employment bureau as
the world has never before known, that
there is a branch Of this bureau in every
town and hamlet, that any individual I'M
der the flag can avail himself Of its ad-
vantages by a visit to the nearest post
Office, that all that Is necessary to get
in touch with the labor opportunities of
the whole nation is to fill out blank
which the government Is anxious to
supply.
Yet such are the facts. This great.
nationwide employment bureau Is just
now coming into existence through the
activities Of the Department of Labor.
That branch of the government service
is now but little over two years of
age, but 1T has spent good deal of the
time and energy Of its young life In at
tempting to determine whether or not
there are enough jobs to go around if
they were properly distributed. 1t has
come to the conclusion that If the man.
less Jobs and the jobless men were
brought together it might develop that
there would be nobody between Maine
and Mexico who was necessarily out of
work.

Turkey, Naples and Spain to improve
the royal stud. And he took good care
that his subjects should follow his
