DO IT NOW, GOGD WATCHWoRD
Yet Failed to Bring Train of Evils in Its Wake.

sometime" is d useful word that is | often Overworked, remarks the Mil waukee Journal. One says, Sometime will do it." but the time never comes. Sometime is no time when kind deed 1 Is to be done. Sometime is no time when a definite task is to be done. A thing put off beyond its rightful time encroaches on time allotted by right to other duties. One may think
 he is gaining time by pOstpOning the duty of the hour. In fact, he is vast ing time. Tomorrow and ever ''to- morrow" has been the ruin of many. Do now the thing that should be done now. Have you had quarrel, and are you ready for reconciliation: Do not postpone it. The other person may get hardened in his views and become un- willing to be reconciled. He may die and leave you to lasting regret that you had not made friends. Would you help someone? Do not wait till help is past being help. Put off till ''to- morrow" mending the fence. and your neighbor's cattle will have found the weak place and made havoc with your grain. Put of paying your insurance. and perhaps n fire will destroy all you have. Debts do not grow less by postponinG payment. Do it now' is good watchword. Say the kind word, do the kind deed, perform the duty of the home.

is substantial-looking farm barn of

Is suhstantlal-looking farm barn of small size designed in accordance with most approved practice in farm-build- ing architecture. It is g feet by 26 feet in size on the ground. and the roof reaches up high enough to make good-sized mow over the stable.
 The concrete foundation is built up above the level of the barnyard about IS inches to protect the sills of the building from moisture. The sill of the wooden building is laid in soft con crete mortar on top of the foundation wall, and anchor bolts tie the sill firm ly to the concrete.
 The floor over the COW stable and horse stable Is made in the usual way, except that the joists are tied together at the ends and spiked into the stud ding at the sides to tie the building to- gether. The timbers are all light and are put together on the plank frame construction plan. so that the trussed crossties help materially in making q solid building.
 The shape of the roof also strength ems the building, so that even though the timbers are light the structure is very strong.
 There is one central feed alley, which serves the horses on Cne side and the COWS on the other, plan which saves great many steps al feeding time.
 Dutch dcors arc provided 50 tiai the upper parts of the doors may D, left open for ventilation.
 The horse stalls are made to use a. double stalls when necessary. There is door which makes the standing Is an advantage. The box stall with the outside door is convenient for q mare and foal, since they can run out into the yard and ccme back to the stable at feeding time and at night. Box stalls are convenient in all barns where live stock is stabied.
 An interesting feature of the plan is the hay door. It is made ten feet in width and is hung with weights like q window sash, so that it may be moved up or down and left in any pO- Sition wanted. In summer time while the now is being filled and for some time after. this door is pulled down to the full opening. Afterwards it may he partially closed until the hay is done sweating.

Kidney Disorder
(By DIR. '. M. PIERCE.)


 The most simple methods are usu- ally the most effective ones when treating any disorder of the human system. The mere drinking a cup of hot water each morning, plenty of pure water all day. and a little Anurfc before every meal has been found the most effective means of overcoming kidney trouble. Death would occur if the kidneys did not work day and night in separating poIsons and uric acid from the blood.
 The danger signals are backache, depressions, pains, heaviness. drowsi- ness, irritability. headaches. chilliness, rheumatic twinges. swollen joints or gouf.

try. People are becoming accustomed to them and are, in fact, beginning to like their appearance. Their main ad- vantage. however, is in the strength of the roof truss which may be used in their construction, assuring q solid building. while at the same time there is furnished large now room in pro- portion to the amount of material il the roof, and the free space is not in- terfered with by braces or cross tim Ders.
 The strength comes from the num- Der. shape and construction of the trusses. Each pair of rafters forms a truss which reaches from one sill to the other. The roof boards are firm iy nailed to the trussed rafters, so that the whole roof is as strong as if 1t were in one piece. It Is strongly recommended that the roof boards shall be placed close together so all shingle nails are usually zinc-coated ard should be long enough to reach clear through. Good shingles put on in this way will last . great many years
 Warm and foul air is expelled from the building by single large ventila- tor placed in the center of the roof.
 A small barn built in the substap- tial manner called for by this design Is not only far better-appearing than a cheaper structure, but when it has once been properly constructed it Is ready for long period of use, during which time the money spent for re- pairs will be practically nothing.

There is EJ reason why the small farm should not have buildings of as high quality as those of the larger farms.
