by four windows in the living room and two wide ones in the dining room
 A seat can be built into the square bay in the living room if desired. Built in seats are found now in nearly every house. and are an exceedingly pleasant feature. Almost any built-in seat will add to the coziness of a room.
 In the dining room is built-in buf- let that is placed under the two win dows on the side. This buffet extends completely along the wall and conse- quently contains plenty of room for china. silver, or any of the many things that are used in the dining room.
 Storage space is often at a premium in small houses and the closets be- come filled up because there is no oth- er place to keep things that are not In actual use all the time. Even in the best-regulated families there are always many things around that no- body Is using but they are kept be- cause they may be of service some iay They will probably never be used

PUZZLED
 Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more accurate. in selecting the right kind of food to fit the body, than that Of adults. Nature works more accurately through the children.
 A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little boy had long been troubled with weak digestion. We could never persuade any kind of cereal food. He was a weak i..tie chap and we were puzzled to know what to feed him on.
 "O-e lucky day we tried Grspe-Nuts. We'll. you never saw a child eat with such relish, and it did me good 10 see him. From that day on it seemed as though we could almost see him grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for breakfast and supper, and l think he would have liked the food for dinner.
 The difference in his appearance is something wonderful.
 My husband had never fancied cereal foods of any kind. but he be. came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has been much improved in health since using it.
 We are now healthy family and naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
 "A friend has two children who were formerly afflicted with rickets. was satisfied that the disease was caused by lack of proper nourishment. The children showed it. So I urged her to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment and tie result was almost magical.
 They continued the food s-i to- day both children are as well and strong as any children in this city. and. of course. my friend is a firm be- liever in Grape-Nuts. for she has the evidence before her eyes every day" Name given by Postum Co. Battle Greek, Mich.

The porch is the greatest factor in determining the impression that per son receives from a house An at tractive and cozy porch will always help in making any house more pleas. ant. Torches can be built in many ways so as to fit in with the general scheme of the house design. Some times they are set back under the main roof. which gives the built-in ef- feet. Other times they are detached from the house proper and built under a separate roof. which of course con meets up with the main roof of the house.
 In the design shown here the porch is built under a separate roof, but it is built so low that it gives the built-in effect just as if il were under the house roof The square. white pillars combined with the low roof and the

WOES OF MUNITION WORKERS
Powder House Jag a.Frecuent Afflic- tion-Chronic State of Nerv-
 ousness Common.

Alcohol is greatly feared by the powder people and rightly so. But they cannot eliminate a strange nal ady that appears among their work men in the powder mills. As subter- ranean labor in compressed air pro- produces the bends" work in the powder mills creates the powder house jag" which is described as fol- lows by Merle Croweil in the Ameri- can Magazine
 "A powder house is no place for an unsteady hand or an unseeing eve. but the powder house jag, a freak prod uct of the plants themselves, is some thing which no amount of diligence can forefend. Large quantities of all cohol are used in the making of smokeless powder. and the air in the shops frequently gets heavy with it's fumes. Men have been known to leave the plants reeling and stupefed. while one serious accident recently was caused because a fumefuddled work man threw on both the high pressure and the low pressure brakes at the same time
 "A weird nervous disorder that steals upon powder makers has been called 'powderitis.' Treading al. day with rubber-soled shoes in a shop which vagrant spark will change in- to a crate, they get keyed up to a nervous tension that never runs down, with the result that even when or duty they nearly jump through their collars at an unexpected flash of light. Although powder. unless it is con- lined, does not explode at spark un- der normal conditions. powder shop may be changed into an inferno of wildfire in a few seconds"

Human Ostrich
Checks Out

James Fitzgerald, once a resi-
dent of White Bluffs, and who be-
came notorious after he left here
by eating considerable glassware
and a hardware store or two, is
dead. He was SO years old and his
death occurred short time ago in
the county hospital at Prosser. of
idropsical complications.
Fitzgerald was a man of unique
appearance, being six feet and six
inches tall. He had double set
of teeth and could chew glass as
easily as most people chew gum.
He was operated on in Seattle a
few years ago and something like
so different articles were taken
from his stomach. The list includ-
ed knives, nails, pieces of glass and
one ten dollar gold piece. For
a time before his death, this ''hu-
man ostrich" was the star a.trac-

show in Richland.

Plan RiChland-Hanford
Surfaced Highway

A road that will be much appre-
ciated by those who travel between
White Bluffs and Kennewick is be-
ing petitioned for now and will
probably be built this summer.
The road begins at Richland and
goes almost due north to Fruit
vale; thence northwest to the
transmission line which it follows
into Hanford. When completed, it
will make easy going over what is
now treacherous piece Of road,
and in addition will cut off about
five miles. 1t will be a road very
much used by up river people
when the county seat is moved to
Kennewick.
