or projections on which dust or dirt
may accumulate.
The building should have good
concrete floor pitched to drain through
bell traps. The side walls as high as
the window should be plastered with
cement on metal lathing. The re-
mainder of the walls and ceiling may
be covered with matched boards and
then painted with white, washable
enamel paint. Ventilating flues should

The equipment of the dairy house
consists of ~ to two horse power

to the sink and to the steam jet in
the drain board, a galvanized-iron
wash sink, can rack, Babcock
tester, concrete cooling tank, milk

Marriage often brings about most
peculiar situations. Two women, an
old and young one, of widely dif.
ferent temperaments, who look out up
on life from different viewpoints, are
brought into close contact by the
younger marrying the older woman's
son. From henceforth am to be first
in your affections" declares the young
er woman spiritedly to her bridegroom.
Il have given you to another, but do
not forget me, my love, and the rev.
erence always due me-" whispers his
mother earnestly.
The young husband kisses his wife's
lips and his mothers forehead, de-
voutly believing he will do his duty by
both.
Many time q young wife is un-
reasonably jealous of her husbands
continued fondress for home and moth
er. She sets her foot down that he
shall only go there when he Is ac-
companied by her. What young hus-
band who idolizes his bride sees any
harm in promising it shall be as she
wishes? At the outset he Is quite blind
as to her real motive.
The old mother whose idol he still
Is and will ever be misses more than
words can tell the short time he
spends with her when he runs in for a
few moments on his way to and from
business. She soon learns of the COM
pact he has made with his wife. The
mother understands the motive; tho
young husband does not. She realizes
IL he is obliged to wait for his wife
to accompany him that the times when
she will greet her boy. clasp him In
her arms, hold his hands and stroke
his hair will be few and far between.
AS the mother grows older, her
pleasures decrease, while her fondness
for her offspring grows stronger and
deeper, If that could be. Tho outside
world and it's gayeties charm her no
more. She would rather spend an eve
ming looking over the bureau drawer
which contains her boys first clothes
than attend the most brilliant social
function. No mother really wishes to
be the best or first love. She just
wishes to keep her same old place in
her child's heart. Wives should en-
courage mans affection for mother.
Her reward will be greater in after
years.

WALL NEED NOT BE UGLY
Builder Who Works With Good Taste
Can Achieve Results That Are
OF the Best.

There is no reason why brick wall
should be so dull and monotonous. for
there are numerous methods for brick
walls of which any clever architect
or brick1ayer might make use. says q
writer In the Dayton Journal. Some
times there Is clause in the specif-
cations calling for more or less orna-
mentations of otherwise blank walls.
In Holland, where much brick is
used In domestic architecture, brick
men take delight in showing their
skill in making brickwork and nearly
every cottage shows specimens Of
their handicraft.
1t is not the best thing to do to
select bricks for facings il the bricks
are sound and right in texture. II Is
pretty safe to say that labor put into
that special picking is worse than
thrown away, Is positively injurious,
and that all those slabs of raw, harsh
color might have been rendered soft
and harmonious by using the bricks
just as they came out of the kiln, with
all the perceptible and imperceptible
graduations Of tone conferred upon
them by the accidents of burning.
Your great bare spaces will be full
of variety and interests of what paint
ers call quality" but without preju-
dice to the breadth of treatment, be-
cause the smallness of the individual
bricks distributes the variation Of
color so subtly over the whole surface
that only those who are Sin the know"
can realize how it came about And,
of course, the larger the surface the
wider the diversity of color that can
be introduced without disturbing the
general tone.

Most Popular Houses.

Perhaps the most popular types OF
dwellings being built at present are
the two-family and three-family
houses. The reason for this is not
hard to understand when one consid-
ers that the rented apartment or
apartments in such a house carry all
interest, taxes, water rates and insur-
ance, and that any money paid in by
the owner is in the nature of decreas-
ing the mortgage, so that in time
these payments will pay for the house
and he will own 1t free and clear.
An additional feature Of the two
family or three-family house is that
after the house is fully paid for the
rentals furnish a steady income and
means for the upkeep of the whole
building.

and to carry steam away from the
Mushroom. Windows are of great i'm
portance, as they admit sunlight and
fresh air and facilitate work. In sum
mer the doors and windows should be
screened to exclude hies and other
insects.
It Is imperative that there be a
plentiful supply of cold. running wa
ter at the dairy house. II 1t is not
possible to have a regular water sys-
tenn water may be piped from an ele-
waited tank fed by an engine, windmill.
hand pump or hydraulic ram. The
dairyman can Ill afford to spend his
time carrying water in pail to cool
milk and wash utensils.
For the proper sterilization Of uten-
sils an abundance Of steam or hot
water is needed. A pail or can may
appear to be clean and still may con-
tain numerous bacteria which win
hasten the souring of milk, cause bad
flavor in butter or cheese, or spread
contagion. After the utensils are thor
oughly cleaned they should be either
scalded with boiling water or steamed.
The dairy house should be SO built
as to economic labor to the greatest
extent. To do this the building must
be arranged to avoid unnecessary
steps.
It is not possible to submit plan
that will suit all conditions, but it is
believed that the accompanying de-.
scription of a dairy house will meet
the needs OF the average dairy that
ships either milk or cream In cans.
This plan is capable of considerable
variation to adapt 1t to wide sphere
Of usefulness. For larger diaries the

and are as happy as the day is long.
The proper way to do is for the be-
trothed lovers to plan out these de-
tails as far as they can before mar
riage. They will then have a fair
idea of what they are to depend on.
The couple that commence welded
life on scale grander than they can
afford soon find themselves at their
wits end to scrape together the
money to pay the landlord, the butch
err, the baker and candlestick maker
Entertaining friends continuously
costs money, is a useless extravaganza
and has driven many young hus-
band to the wall loaded with debts.
1t takes courage to wed on hus-
bands salary of eighteen per week.
The dovecote which houses them must
be mid humble instead of fashionable
surroundings, for rent is very con-
siderable item in the household ex-
penses. The contents of the tiny fiat
should be paid for ere the newly
welded couple step across their own
threshold. The bride should be-even
at an early age-a good housekeeper,
know the value of doing her own
marketing; how to purchase and what
to buy and above all, know the, magic
art of Transforming the left overs Of
the table into tempting tid-bits to
help out the following neal. 1t should
go without saying that she must be
her own maid of all work and her
own seamstress as well.
1t is said that "a little nonsense now
and then is relished by the best of
men," Where SO much skimping and
saving has had to be INDUCED in,

and no play makes Jack dull boy.
The same may be applied to Jill. No
matter how small the amount of earn
ings, 1t should not be fully used up. A
dollar now and then put by proves
godsend ofttimes in the hour of need.
Where both work energetically to-
gether, and happiness crowns their eff
forts, 1t may be said that their mar
ried life has proved a success. The
young BRIDE who has been accustomed
to the luxury of having her own spend
ing money will have to watch herself
and check her longing for things which
are not absolutely necessary to far
greater extent than the girl who has
had to work for her living and who
knows what 1t is to purchase little
vanities at the cost Of meal and the
repentance for her folly.
The husband can only make the
money The wife is the homemaker.
Upon her shoulders and conscience
rest tie results. Love is the wonder
full wand which will spur them on to

The young couple who love each
other IAN do better welded than apart.
Nothing is accomplished by waiting
years TO save. Dissatisfaction awaits
upon nlch delay. The milk Of human
kindness dries out of their hearts.

1t would not take much to break 1t.
The snail beginning should not be de-
spised by the couple who love each

By e. KELLY and X. e. PARKs)
Recent developments in dairying
have caused large demand for a
dairy house which will fulfill SAM
tary requirements and at the same
time be practical and inexpensive
For those who are striving to i'm
prove the quality of their products
such building Is an absolute neces-
sity. Milk which is poured or strained
in the barn, or allowed to stand there
is liable to be contaminated by bac-
terra and to absorb stable odors. AS
soon as the cows milk is drawn 1t
should be carried to the dairy house,
to be cooled Immediately to so de-
grees F. or lower. An up-todate san
itary dairy house is provided with all
the facilities for cooling milk in the
most economical and expeditions

A MAYORS TESTIMONY.

Mayor James R. Hanna of Des
Moines, Ia, gives his personal testi-
mony to the advantages of prohibition
as follows:
"The saloons were closed on the
18th of February. All the desirable
locations were picked up by other
businesses within the next few weeks
following. A few out-of-the-way loca-
tons are still vacant.
II cannot see that there Is any ap.
preciable effect because of throwing
men out of employment and certainly
no increase in demands for charity. In
fact, it is exactly the other way. The
men who lost employment have gone
into other lines. Some of them have
followed up their former calling in
other cities, but the men who were
spending in the saloons the money
which their families needed are now
buying groceries and shoes instead.
The consequence Is very much bet
ter tone in every way. In the first
place their families are not now in
want and in the second place, they
are paying their bills for the ordinary
necessities. This is making collec-
lions noticeably better in other lines,
30 our merchants report.
Our experience proves that a de-
cisive policy can handle the bootleg
cling very effectually. There will be
some illicit sales, to be sure, but they
can be reduced to very small mini
num-"

THE PROOF.

A gentleman was riding on the
street car the other day, when he saw
on the advertising spaces. printed in
large, clear letters, these words:
Pure Rye Whisky-Tones Up the
Body, Brightens the Intellect, Invig-
crates the Soul" After reading 1t hin
eyes dropped involuntarily to the seat
beneath the advertisement, and there
was drunken man. His eyes were
bleared, his face bloated, with red
lines Of dissipation in 1t, and his body
slouched down in a sort of collapsed
way common to men under the infiu-
ence of liquor. The drunken man was
an illustration of the advertisement,
and proved the falsehood OF 1t. Wine
Is a mocker."

from 1t that no barn doors can be
detected in the house, and should be
on well-drained land which slopes from
the house.
The principal purpose in building a
dairy house is to provide place
where dairy products may be handled
apart from anything else. To carry
out this idea 1t is necessary to divide
the interior of the building so that
the utensils do not have to be washed
in the same room where the milk is
handled. The idea of absolute clean

NO FRIENDS OF J. BARLEYcoRN.


The saloonkeepers of Washington,
D. c., were sorely disappointed, it is
said, because few Of the veterans at
tending the Grand Army encampment

seen under the influence" One OF
the old soldiers explained 1t thus:
"The fellows who could drink 1t or
let it alone are not here-nearly all
of them are in their graves" 1t Is
worthy Of note that every one of the
1913 members of the post at Hagers'
town, Md, is a total abstainer and a
prohibitionist. One Of the features
of the parade which evoked much
cheering from the crowds of onlook-
ers was the West Virginia Water
Wagon which headed the delegation
