Imaginary Husbands for Girls.

An extremely practical popular
course in home economics has been es-
tabiished at Leland Stanford universi-
ty by DR.. Jessica Peixotto.
Each girl takes an imaginary hus-
band. with stipulated income. fur
nishes a home for him, feeds him.
takes care of imaginary, children, set
ties all domestic problems, and must
come out at the end Of the course on
the right side Of the balance sheet.
They are being taught to live within
an average income and to live wisely.
1t Is said that the young men of Lee
land Stanford are busy applying for
positions as Imaginary husbands"
They appear perfectly willing to be ex-
perimented upon In the way of cook
ing. But when 1t comes to keeping up
home expenses they are willing to let
the game remain imaginary.

feated If such q house is built on u
narrow lot A wide lot upon which
sufficient time and effort have been
spent to adapt II to the house Is neces-
sary for the full realization Of the ad-
vantages Of this design. Shrubs, vines.
trees and flower beds must be placed
with care and selected with pur-
pose to harmonlze with the color
scheme of the bungalow. The rustic
bungalow is seen In its most appro-
pirate frame when 1t is placed on a
small country estate where the natural
growth Of trees may be taken advan.
tage Of in laying out the lawn.
The little bungalow shown In the IL
lustration Is an attractive example of
the rustic type. The architect had
found happy combination of details
In this design and the result is shown
In both the exterior appearance and In
the arrangement of rooms. Large cob
blestone pillars give the front of the
house unique appearance. The Chin
ney carries out the idea very effec-
lively. The low roof Is q combined
hip and gable type with exposed sup
ports. well adapted to this type of
house. The pergoss effect of the porch,
with the pleas:og decorative ends of
the timbers carried through the de-
sign. even to the decoration placed on

the short column at the corner Of the
house, adds great deal to the general
attractiveness of the little home. The
gable Is decorated with wide boards
or siding strips which have decora-
tive design cut in each board. Many
details of finish have been worked out
in way which gives this little rustic
bungalow ON appearance rather diff
ferent from the ordinary.
In the room arrangement and atten-
ton TO interior details the same thor
oughness has been observed. The liv-
ing room Is entered from the front
porch. This room has large fireplace,
flanlied with bookcases, built along
the side wall. The fireplace may be
made In any way which Is suited to
the style OF finish that is decided upon
for this room. A very striking and
artistic effect may be secured by build
ing the fireplace of cobblestones such
as are used in the construction of the
exterior chimney and pillars at the
front of the house. The combination
of the living room with the little den
is very attractive arrangement. If
the den Is to be used at times as
spare bedroom, sliding door may be
built between 1t and the living room.
1t will, of course, be more attractive
with just cased opening between the
two rooms. The many windows In
this little nook will make 1t like
sun parlor and consequently part of
the house which will, perhaps, be used
more than any other.
The dining room is front room
open to the living room. The buffet
is built against the wall opposite the
opening of the living room and may be
seen from the other side OF the house.
A double-acting door leads TO the
kitchen. This room Is square, well
lighted and pleasant. 1t is equipped
with cupboards and q sink; the rear
entry and pantry form two annex
rooms which may be used to help very
materially in performing the tasks as
ISOLATED with this part of the house.
A hall extends back from the living
room through the center of the house.
A closet, the pantry. the cellar stairs,
the bathroom, two bedrooms and the
sleeping porch all may be entered from
this hall. The sleeping porch is a

SPECIAL NoTE.-Dr. E. sauer. WELL
known physician who has studied widely
In both this country and Europe, has been
specially employed to make q thorough
investigation into the real secret of The
Jess Willard, and the marvellous value OF
nuxated iron DIS strength builder.
NEW YORK.--Upon being inter-
viewed at his apartment in the Colon
lal Hotel, Mr.. Willard said: "Yes, /
have a chemist with me to study the
value of different foods and products
as to their power to produce great
strength and endurance, both OF which
are so necessary in the prize ring. On
his recommendation have often TAX
en- nuxated iron and have particular
ly advocated the free use of iron by
all those who wish to obtain great
physical and mental power. Without
1t am sure that should never have
been able to whip Jack Johnson so
completely and easily as did, and
while training for my fight with Frank
Moran / regularly took nuxated iron,
and ! am certain that II was a most
important factor In my winning the
fight so easily" Continuing, DIR. Sauer
said: "Mr. Wizards case Is only one
Of hundreds which I could cite from
my own personal experience which
proves conclusively the astonishing
power Of nuxated iron to restore
strength and vitality even In most COM
plicated chronic conditions"
Not long ago q man came to me who
was nearly half century old, and
asked me to give him preliminary
examination for life insurance. I was
astonished to find him with the blood
pressure of boy of 20 and as full of
vigor, vim and vitality as young man
in fact, a young man he really was,
Notwithstanding his age. The secret
he said was taking iron-nuxated iron
had filed him with renewed life. At
80 he was in bad health; at 46 care
worn and nearly all in. Now at so a
miracle of vitality and his face BEAM
ing with the buoyancy of youth. As
nave said q hundred times over iron
is the greatest of all strength builders.
If people would only throw away pat
ent medicines and nauseous concoc-
tons and take simple nuxated iron, I
am convinced that the lives of thous-
ands of persons might be saved who
now die every year from pneumonia,
grippe, consumption, kidney, liver and
heart trouble, etc. The real and true
cause which started their diseases was
nothing more or less than weakened
condition brought on by lack of iron
in the blood. Iron is absolutely neces-
sary to enable your blood to change
food into living tissue. Without 1t, no
matter how much or what you eat,
your food merely passes through you
without doing you any good. You
don't get the strength out of 1t, and as

Austin Garretson, president Of the
Order Of Railroad Conductors, is cred

road brotherhoods forced congress to

order to avoid paralyzing strike.
Garretson is also a big man ply

PERONNE is HISTORIC GROUND
In That City LoNis xi Was Forced to
Sign Treaty Which Laid Founda-
tion for Belgium.


The ground whereon the great war
Is being decided is one of the famous
battlefields of French history. II was
called of old "Sangterro, the bloody
ground" but never was its name so
true as today. In Peronne. now being
bombarded by the French. two French
kings have suffered Imprisonment
Charles the Simple for six years In the
tenth century, and Louis NJ for three
days in the fifteenth century.
The latter incident has. more to do
with today's events that it may seem
to have, for King Louis was on a
friendly visit TO Charles the Bold Of
Burgundy Mt Peronne when he was
imprisoned by his host on the charge
of having stirred up the burghers Of
Liege until he had signed the treaty
of Peronne. which freed Flanders from
France and so laid the foundation for
independent Belgium.
No human being dared remind King
Louis of this humiliating experience,
but, strange to say, the magples took
to singing "Peronne, Peronne" wher-
ever he went, until he recovered the
town. To do this he was obliged to
bride the British to withdraw the army
that had been sent in aid of the duke
of Burgundy. A payment of $4,000
crowns to Edward Nv and proportion
ate sums to his ministers won them
over, and match was arranged be-
tween Charles the dauphin and Ed
wards daughter.
Neither king would trust the other
and with good reason--so the parents
Of the happy pair met on bridge
across the Somme, with strong wood
en- grill between them, through which
they ventured to shake hands.--New

Said a North Carolina minister, Rev.

old-time minister helped to build this
nation, first, by fine personality and
fine life; second, by building

third. by an active interest in schools

ministers living today and they are

SHOUSE LOYAL TO THE HORSE

Representative Shouse of Kansas
represents a district where there is
an automobile to every six persons, yet
he is loyal to the horse, for he used
to live In Kentucky, where he was edi-
tor of the Farmer and Breeder.
'Tn Kansas we have the heavy
draft horse at its best" said Mr..
Shouse. "He belongs to the farm and
does his work well. When we want to
go anywhere we use an automobile,

means to the country at large, and

horse breeding is an economic asset.

things he did not know was that the
county was noted for its almost COM

To Parents Nj. II. S. Pupils
Home Industry Report.

AS a result of scrupulous OBJ
servation, | have reached the
conclusion that children who are
thoughtful and industrious at
home are, in almost every in
stance, inclined to be so disposed
at school. Pupils who work at
home generally work at school,
obtainsgood averages, and make
their grades. Home work should
be correlated with school work,
and the children should be en-
couraged in both and receive
credit for same.
On the first day Of school, all
children who wish credit at
school for any work they do at
home to lessen their parents or
guardians work will be given
Home Industry Report card,
which are to be kept by their
parents or guardians only. The
purpose of this scheme is to en-
courage children in home indus
try, to teach them to do things
according to time, and to be
other than parasites in the home
life; and I believe it will lead
them to a keener realization of
the sacrifices being made for
them by the homefolk.
One hours work is worth 10
credits. 500 credits are worth
one Certificate of Award, and
the pupil making this record
will be given p per cent on his
general average for the year.
Five Certificates of Award are
worth one Certificate of Grand
Award, also 212 per cent on the
General Average. Any work
that will please father and moth
err, or guardians, by relieving
them of work at home is to re-
ceive credit. Such work as the
following may be credited
Filling stovewood box, making
fires, drawing or pumping water,
cooking, washing dinner dishes,
sweeping. sewing. feeding stock,
running errands on time, wash.
ing, ironing, etc. All such work
is to be done on schooldavs.
