Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a trf1e less
than Royal Baking Powder which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If cheap baking powder is used for
fine cake and the cake turns out failure
there is waste of costly materials worth
more than a whole can of the cheap bal-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.

building the bare walls, floors, ceilings
and roof of the larger house.
There are any number of ways in
which a small house may be made
hOmellke. The most important pre-
caution to be observed in the arrange
ment of the rooms is that of providing
space for furniture already in the
possession of the owner, or about to
be purchased. This applies to the
larger pieces of furniture, such as the
piano or divan. Each room should be
given individual features which most
thoroughly fit it to furnish the desired
qualities. In the living room most
people like a fireplace, and bullt-in
bookcases furnish a very handy and
useful feature. The housewife will no
doubt appreciate a buffet in the dining
room. A pantry is great help in
the preparation of meals. A clothes
chute saves steps and keeps sOiled
linen out Of the way. These and many
other features are easily provided and
the expense of their construction is
more than paid back in the cOnve-
nience and comfort which they pro-
vide.
The bungalow shown in the illustra-
ton is an excellent type Of home for
the family that takes pride in max
ing the various rooms of the house in
which they live as cozy and attrac-
tive as possible. OF course, for such
family the house must, in itself,
have the qualities of cOziness and at
tractiveness, or no amount of labor will
seem to produce just the effect that is
desired. The bungalow seems to be
the right type, and this particular de-
sign has many desirable features from
this standpoint.
The outside walls of the bungalow
are plaStered in white or some light
shade of gray. Wood trim is finished
dark in contrast to the light walls. A
hip roof is used with small dOrmers
having their sides finished with shin
giles. Brick chimneys are used for the
fireplace, furnace and kitchen stove.
The porch is very attractive and use
ful. 1t is built across the front of the
house and extends on one end so that
steps along the side of the house make
it accessible from the rear. The end
of the porch near these steps is built
In the pergola style. The general ex-
terror design is simple but very at
tractive.
With very little effort the rooms of
this bungalow may be made exception
ally cozy and homelike. The living
room and dining room are Joined to-
zether with only cOlonnade between.
These rooms should be finished in
somewhat the same style, to produce
the best effect. The large fireplace,

living room. The dining room is well
arranged, having a buffet built into

Only Mr. Barlow his attorneys and the officers of the
