HOW TO PLACE BAY WINDOW
This Dwelling Ornament Must Be Put
Properly or 1t Will Mar Looks
of Your Residence.

Bay windows may add greatly to
the attractiveness of house, or they
may greatly mar it. They should be
judiciously used and carefully proper
toned,
An attractively detailed bay be-
comes an important feature in the ex-
terror design; therefore the interior as
pect should not be the sole considera-
tiOn.
Too often are otherwise we'll
designed houses marred by bays so
placed as to have a detached appear
ance. A bay, to be right, must seem
to have grown to the side of the house.
Single-stOry bays are more easily
handled than are those of two stories,
and may be either square or three
sided. If extending to the sill line
only, they require no foundation, which
is quite an item in the expense, and
for small houses they are extremely
attractive.
The two-story bay requires skillful
handling; otherwise it becomes an ap-
pendage most inharmoniOus. It should
correspond to the exterior finish of the
houses. A successful treatment for
bays Of this description is to extend
the main roof out over the bay.
A clever architect can often accom-
plish a pleasing interior treatment by
grouping windows at the corner of q
room, thus giving to the room the eff
feet of bay, yet interfering in no way
with the exterior design.

Emotions.

Emotions are what you have when
you are all stirred up; for example.
when you are in love or when d note
which you had previously forgotten
suddenly falls DUE Also, when you
think you are writing poetry and when
you are leading one who is practically
total stranger up to an altar, where,
by previous arrangement and design,
you have stationed a gentleman with
power to cause you more future >trOu-
BILE than you have ever dreamed of.
Science tells US that something cannot
come out of nothing, yet emotions
seem to do this. A calm, placid lady
whom you have known and trusted for
years will suddenly have emotions
which will create an area of disturb
ance extending for miles in all direc-
tions, Emotions are felt but not seen.,
If you could see an emotion coming
with the naked eye, you might be able
to avoid it. Some men can thus avoid
emotions when they see their wives
coming, but not when they have emo
tions themselves.
Emotions are of various kinds and
are variously expressed; New York
policeman expresses his with a club,
and every dog with the end of his
tail.-Life.

Are You = croaker7

A croaker sat on the grumbler's
bench and croaked that the town was
dead and ne'er did once he lift his
hand to push his town ahead. He
cursed and swore with all his might
such a town he ne'er did see-the
times were dull, the stores were bum,
as bum as bum could be. And so, he
sat from early morn, each bright and
happy day, and croaked and croaked
with all his might till the summer
passed away. And then one night
while the wind blew cold, when the
winter time had come, he croaked his
last and closed his eyes upon his earth
ly home. But when he reached the
other shore-the city bright and fair,
it was no good, twas dull and dead, he
ne'er would enter there! And since
there was no other place, to the croak-
ers fate he went, unmourned by man,
unwept, unsung-none cared a bloom.

u HELPS
BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME PLACE
It Doesn't Cost Much But Adds a
Great Deal to Value Of Property
Some Shade-Tree Advice.

Beautifying the home place is one
of the pleasures and duties of every
home lover. Homes that do not re-
fleet in some way the better natures
of their owners are not what they
should be. Home is the place where
we spend the most important part of
our lives. Homes that are not COM
forting to the tired hOme-maker have
lost all their charm and usefulness.
Homes should be made beautiful to
the eyes as well as comforting to the
body and nerves. If you will look
about you the homes that are the best
in appearance are homes that harbor
gentle people. Homes that are al
lowed to run to ruin are owned by
people who are careless and often
shiftless in their personal habits.
1t is not hard to beautify your home.
It does not require a lot of money or
valuable labor. "I remember seeing
a little dooryard in st. Louis once in
which few seeds had been planted"
says a writer in Farmers Guide. "Pos-
sibly the place. was not more than ten
feet square, but there was such an
abundance of flowers and grass on
that little dooryard that it gladdened
thousands Of passers-by every day.
That little place was tended by a
crippled girl. And it reflected more
than anything else the spirit of gen.
erosity and gentleness which was her
predominating characteristic. Money
alone will never make a home beauti-
full"
Many farmers plant fruit trees about
the house, but shade trees would be
better for the front yard.
A shade tree to be satisfactory must
be tall, thick and cover q large space.
Unless it is pruned high the grass will
not grow well under it. The most
satisfactory fruit tree is almost oppo-
site this in general characteristics. 1t
must be headed low in order to have
the fruit within reach at harvest time.
If it grows tall and thick there will
be very little fruit and it will be of
poor quality. An open top or crown is
necessary for the production of good
fruit, and with this condition the
shade is not good.

SWAMP ROOT STOPS
SERIOUS BAGKACHE

When your back aches, and your blad-
der and kidneys seem to be disordered, re-
member it is needless to suffer-go to your
nearest drug store and get bottle of Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. 1t is a physicians
prescription for diseases of the kidneys
and bladder.
It has stood the test of years and has
q reputation for quickly and effectively
giving results in thousands of cases.
This prescription was used by Dr.. Kill
mer in his private practice and was SO
cry effective that it has been placed on
sale everywhere. Get bottle, SOC and
$l.OO, at your nearest druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this

sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

enough that you should be mind read
er. You've got to be leg reader and
thmt's all there is to it."
'Might it's because you amt ac-
quainted with the Russian language
maybe" zapp suggested. "YOu take
a Russian ballet which amt in the
country two weeks, y'understand, and
naturally they couldn't even talk the
English language let alone dance it."
"Then how did the police get on
that it was immoral?" Birsky asked.
Probably they sent a policeman
there which speaks Russian" Zapp
said. They've got such fellers on the
police force, Birsky. There is even
policemen which can shake down
saloon keepers in every European Ian
guage, and Chinese and Hebrew, also,
Birsky, and besides, Birsky, what
business do you got supporting Rus
sian ballet? thought you was
against the Allies"
"Me against the Allies?" Birsly ex-
claimed. "How can you say such a
thing? I've got just so many custom
ers which is for the Allies as against
'em, Zapp-more even, and I am per-
fectly neuter about this here war.
Furthermore, I've been an American
sitson now going on twenty-five years,
and / think that that oitermobile fac
tory out in Detroyit is quite right
which wouldn't give jobs except to sit
sons"
"Aber if everybody done the same
thing, Birsky, what's going to become
of the greenhorns?' ~ Zapp asked. "It
takes five years to get to be a sitson,,
and in the meantime they must got to
starve. Is that the idee? It's like all
them advertisements you see for ex-
perienced statesmen. If every concern

to show the papers.

sEven so," Bhsky went on, my ideei
is that a feller should become sit
son like he gets married. He should
do it for love, because If feller gets.

go broke, he amt going. to stay faith-l

we should have to go to war and
