Last winter the French authorities
imported from Alaska and Canada sew

They proved so useful that they have
been employed during the summer in

Some eminent physicians and sur

number of unpleasant truths lately
about diseases which ought to be as
extinct as the dOdO, yet which Kill
thousands and tens of thousands OF
people every year. AS Il paper which
has done and is doing its Utmost to

the house upon q terrace. AS a rule,
1he bungalow does not have a place
IN this group OF designs. but there are
particular cases IN which this general
rule will not hold. The experienced

the last determining factor which
controls the appearance of a house
from the standpoint Of its position
is its distance from the street. Not
only is there a direct effect with re
spect to this point, but there is also
an indirect effect of equal weight. The
extent and character of lawn between
the house and the street will deter
mine in what manner sidewalks will
be laid, vines and shrubs planted, and
various lawn decorations placed. 4
house near the street does not ADMIT
of an extensive plan for the lawn. In
fact, if an attempt is made to carry
out anything elaborate in the way Of
lawn decoration the critical neighbOTS
are moved TO express themselves, not
without some truth, in the remark,
"OyerdOne." On the other hand, a
deep, gracefully slOping lawn which
has been properly endowed with nat
ural beauty may be made to add a
great deal to the appearance of the
house by the addition of curving side
walks, arborS and little rustic bridges
or other decorations in keeping with
the house design. Bungalow designs
yield especially gratifying results from
this kind of lawn treatment. Origi-
mated where nature made easy the
Identification of its surroundings, the
bungalow still looks best when estab-
iished in a spot which at least APP
prOximates its birthplace.
The bungalow shown here is a type
that would be a delight to any one.
II is an ideal bungalow home. The
exterior arrangement is very attrac-
tive and striking and the interior is a
model Of comfort and convenience.
The exterior has many features that
will recommend it to the person who
wanls ii distinctive home. The porch
construction is particularly striking.
There is nothing more attractive and
inviting than a low, broad porch roof,
especially If built in the form of an
arch, as in this case. The porch walls
and pillars are built of stone and brick
; distinctive in that a rough surface is
obtained by allowing irregular pieces
TO project out from the surface. The
roof is of artistic design, being of the
gable type, unusually well decorated
and proportioned.
In the room arrangement every de-
lall has some particular value. A par
ticular feature of the front rooms of
the house is the lighting. To fit in
with the attractive appearance of the
exterior it Ia necessary to have o

ALCOHOL AND MORTALITY
What exact relation alcohol has to
mortality is not known. Recent in
vestigations are fairly correct in the
phases they represent. Jaquet's
efforts in France shows it's relation to
infant mortality. He separated the
patients he examined in three classes.
The first group were those who con-
sumed one quart of wine a day and
the mortality among their children
was 1877 per cent; the second group
were those who consumed from one
and one-half quarts to two quarts
of wine a day, and the mortality
among their children was 26 per cent;
the third group were those who con-
sumed above two quarts of wine
day, and the mortality among their
children was 55.4 per cent.
Half the children dying in Paris
during the period from 1903 to 1914
were under II years. Congential de-
bility was responsible for 1892
deaths. The Investigators assume
the alcoholism of the parents were
responsible for that large proportion,
basing their beliefs on Jaquet's re-
suits. In the non-alcohoic parts. of
France the tuberculosis mortality
rate is 1.95 per 1000 inhabitants;
where the consumption of alcohol is
strong the rate is 2.61 per 1000.
Phelps estimates alcohol caused,
directly or indirectly, in the U. S. dur
ing 1908, $4,000 deaths, or 81 per

SMALLCHILD lN-
 STANTLY KILLED
SiX-Year-Old Son of R. l.. Dawson Was Shot Accidently With a

Special 10 the News.
 Arkinda, Dec. 25.-There was very sad accident occurred here today, Christmas day when the little six year-old son of MT and Mrs. R. L.. Dawson was accdent'yy shot and in s':antly by another small boy about the same age.
 The two small boys among other boys were at the home of MT. and Mrs. Walter Fallis, and were playing with a 22-caliber target, when by some means the gun was discharged. The Dawson boy was standing in range, and the bullet struck the litt'e tot in the forehead, about two inches above the lett eye, killing him instantly The father of the dead boy got to the place in very few minutes and clasped the little fellow in his arms and carried him home distance of quarter of mile. Immediately the people of the entire town were there and witnessed the most trying and sympathetic scene that has ever been witnessed in the history of the town. To see the bereaved parents and children and playmates and loved ones of the child standing around watching the under takers wipe the ozzing brains from his forehead, would melt the heart of the most stubborn. Dr. Shakelford of Foreman was summoned at once. As soon as he reached the place where the sad occurance happened, but it was of no use. The parents of the child thought perhaps he might not be fatally shot, but he was too late.
