Sometimes four bedrooms are need
ed, and in order to get four good bed
rooms it is necessary to build a good
sized house. 1t is very desirable that
children should have bedrooms of their
own for their exclusive use as soon as
they~are old enough to sleep by them
selves. You can get four little boxes
OF rooms in small house, but 1t is
never very satisfactory. Little bed
rooms too often lack light and ventila-
ton, and these are two very impor-
tant requisites.
One reason why l like square
houses and recommend them Is the
fact that you can put a bedroom in
each corner upstairs and have two
windows in each room that are dag

Sunshine is the best disinfectant we

Watson Again to Face
 Obscene Literature
 Charge in Georgia

Augusta, Ga, November 25.-Thomas S E. Watson, once candidate for the presidency on the populist ticket and we'll known editor and author, Is ex- pected to go to trial here tomorrow in federal court on a charge of sending obscene literature through the United States mails.
 The indictment in four counts is based upon serial published in Wat sons Jeffersoniaf magazine, entitled "The Roman Catholic Hierarchy, the Deadliest Menace to Our Liberties and Our Civilization"
 This is the second time Watson has faced trial on the same charge and because of the same article. At the first trial Judge Rufus Foster, sitting for Judge Emery Speer quashed the indictment on the grounds that, the en- tire article should have appeared in the indictment rather than excerpts The populist leader then declared that por- tions of what was objected to were ex- tracts from books on Catholic theology
 The matter was brought to the at tention of the next federal grand jury and new indictment returned.
 Judge w. w. Lambden of the south ern district of Georgia, who alternated with Judge Speer, will preside at the trial.

London. November 25-Cordial relations between Greece and the entente powers have been established, with the Greek governments assurance TO attempt will be made to interf < q the allied troops should they, ur contingent cy, be ferced to cross : : sk frontier, and that, as heretofoi = y and other facilities will be affe J m.

 It is understood that the allies have also promised Greece a monetary indem- nifty after the war for any damage which might be done through the occupation of Greek territory.
 With this thorny question out of the way the British public has centered it's interest upon the attitude of Roumana eeiiN eiiN iiitSi NSiitiOI Ol NuSSid IL IS well established that Russia has concentrated a great army near the Roumanian from tier and dispatches state that large number of heavy guns have arrived at Odessa from Japan for its use. However. the oii ection in which this army will move will be dictated by the policy the Roumanian government adopts.
 DrsDrJNr
 Berlin shows some uneasiness but be- yond that and the statement of the Rou- manian premier M. Bratiano. that the relations between Russia and Roumania were never better there is nothing to go on.
 As result of the success of the Aus tro-Germans and Bulgarians in gaining command of the Kossovo plateau the Servian government has moved to Scu- tari, while the army is defending the lit tie fringe of Servia which lies between the Sitnica river and the 1kIoar1iaat and Montenegrin frontiers. It can be provis- toned from Scutari, from which place the Montenegrins built good roads during their occupation.
 Monastir is still in the possession of tEe Servians but the Bulgarians are push ing toward it. while the army of General Won Gallwitz is reported to be on the way down the Vardar valley to help the Bulgarians attack the Anglo-French forces.
 Heavy cannonading continues on the western front; winter has put stop to any big movements on the eastern front, while the Italians are persisting their offensive and are daily getting nearer Gcrizia. across the Isonzo, and Roverto and Riva, in the Trentino.
