Rules for the Summer Porch.

Do not make the mistake of filing the
veranda too full of furniture Let there
be plenty of space to move about in, and
the porch will seem more spacious and
cool
| Plant around the porch vines that are
quick growing, and that do not shed their
| leaves or harbor insects. Woodbine, hops
moonvine and clemstis are clearly and
spread quickly.
Have the seat and back cushions for
porch chairs and the pillows in the swing
made so that they may be removed ire
quently and Numbered. Cushions used
out of doors soil more rapidly than those
indoors.
Do not have too many bouquets, hang
ing baskets or pot plants scattered
around the veranda. Boxes fitted along
the outside of the porch rail banked
with solid masses Of bloom, are much
more pleasing and restful.
Swinging porch lights may be incased
in the new plain color japanese lanterns
to lend an air Of festivity The old
fashioned multi-coored lanterns have
been succeeded by beautifully shaped
ones of pale yellow, with simple designs
in deep orange, black and a dash of red
or orange, blue and dull green. They are
most artistic.
Try to serve breakfast, lunch and even
supper on the porch whenever possible.
The veranda may easily and inexpensive
ly be screened, and there is charm
about eating out of doors that James
,,,te
in his poem Eve ct out on the porch"
Read it again, and see if you don't want
to move the dining table out at once. If
it is inconvenient to have full-size table
in the center of the verands, drop lea
table may be pushed against the wall OF
the house and moved out when needed.
Have as many of the family as possible
face the view, even if one side of the ia
bic is left empty.
If there is not separate porch that |
can be devoted to the children. says the |
Christian Science Monitor, partition off |
one end of the family veranda for their
use. They should have a covered place |
to play, where they will not disturb their |
elders. Playing dolls in a corner of the |
porch has been the delight of little girls
always, and there is no place like porch
floor to run a toy railroad.
Do not have the porch furnishings too
nice" Cushions should be covered with
attractive but durable material, and one
should be able to throw a cushion on the
top step and drop down on it without in
'urring the housekeeper's displeasure
If you have no porch try to give the
fleet of one in a room on the shady side
If the house. Put cool-looking awnings
,ver the windows, fill the stills with win
low boxes full of flowers, push every
hing back from the windows except two
n three wicker chairs and come as near
IS you can to giving an out doors at :
nosphere.
The porch should say "Welcome" in its
very detail-everywhere but on the
loormat Chairs and benches and swings

hould give a lived-in air.
Here's to happy summer on the porch.

Moving a Big Circus Quite a Railroad
Task

Local railroad officials are beginning to
concern themselves about circus day. The
fact that the Bsrnum & Bailey show is
to exhibit in Montpelier to-day
means that the problem of transporting
this outfit is one that must be carefully
considered
According to railroad men, the circus
this season is using larger and heavier
train equipment than ever before. EX
aetly 50 double-length cars are required
to transport this mammoth organization
from town to town. This equipment, of
course, is the property of the circus it.
self, and only engines and train crews
are required from the railroads.
Quite often, especially in the smaller
towns, it Is necessary to move all other
freight cars out OF the railroad yards
day in advance, in order TO make room
for the coming of the circus trains. The
Barnum & Bailey circus at present is
travelling in four sections. The first is
known as the flying squadron" and car

How to Have a Sanitary Nurse y.

The two rooms in the house which
should have more than their share of
housekeeping are the kitchen and the
nursery. A sanitary nursery with no
carpets on it, hard finished walls and
easily cleaned furniture should theoreti-
cally be spotless at all times, but young
children are SO peculiarly sensitive to
dangers from dirt and microbes that too
much care cannot be exercised in making
hygienic the room in which they live.
Care should be taken of all the furniture
of the room and this is a good time to
substitute light, sanitary enameled ware
for the heavy china or crockery set.
These bowls and pitchers of enameled
metal are not only light enough for chill
dren to lift for themselves, but they are
easily kept very clean and cannot break
with the careless handling they are sure
to receive. A wash stand for little chill
dren can be improvised by cutting down
the legs of some old table to the requi-
site height. This table can be painted
any light color. Place an enameled ware
tray on top and then spilled water will
do not harm to either table or floor. No
sanitary nursery should have curtains
and if new roller shades are not be pro-

NOW THEY SAY IT'S
THE AFRICAN FLY
EntomoIogIsts Matching Eggs to
Test Latest Theory on In
fantiIe Paralysis.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 24.--The
long sought cause for the epidemic OF
infantile paralysis Is believed to have
been discovered by entomologists here.
The eggs OF mysterious African fly
the size of a humble -bee-are being
Matched in the laboratory OF the
Academy OF Natural Sciences. Years
ago the same fly was found in the
Southwest following an invasion OF
infantile paralysis.
The eggs were found on a rabbit by
Dr. Henry skinner. entomologist OF
the academy. after u long search. This
insect attacks white rabbits and tenn
porarily paralyzes them with fluid
shot from hooked bill. When the
rabbit Is helpless the fly lays it's eggs
under the skin. The rabbit found by
DIR. skinner, after several hundred
had been examined. had a knot on its
back the size OF a walnut-hundreds
OF worms Matched from the eggs.
These worms were put in cage.
Immediately burrowed into the
ground, and are expected TO emerge
az cocoons In ten days. The flies viii
come from them and will then be set
TO work on monkeys. Fluid Will be
taken from their bills and injected
Into the animals.
