By WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

For neat appearance, pleasing bal
ance and harmonious color scheme, the
little house shown in the accompanying
perspective view is attractive to Il
marked degree. One of the principal
features of the design is Il porch which
is thoroughly adaptable to the design.
The house expresses comfort and hos
pitality in its appearance, due very
largely to the effect of the porch. A
low arched effect is used across the
front of the house and the ends of the
porch have q similar treatment; the
vertical measurement of the curve is
the same for these two arched effects,
however, which gives that at the end
considerably more of curve than that
across the front of the house. The
graceful effect obtained by the use of
these false arches is well shown in the
perspective view.
The typical bungalow lines are not
sacrificed in any way by making this
home of the stOry-and-a-half type. The
low fiat dormer breaks up the roof ex-
panse and gives decorative touch to
the design while, at the same time.
abundant light is furnished to one of
the rooms on the second floor. Rafter
ends are exposed across the width of
the main roof and the dOrmer roof.
Sixteen-light windows are provided in
the dOrmer and large plate glass win
dOws of the double hung type, having
twenty-One light upper sash, are used

AFTER IA YEARS
OF SUFFERING
This Lady Tried Cardui. Let Her
Tell You in the Following
Statement the Results
She Obtained.

Wise, Va.-Nrs. ]. NJ. Elan, of this
place, in writing Of her female
troubles, says: ''This trouble went on
for II years, often was unable to
work and suffered badly at times,
when 1 could not be on my feet at all.
Really in bad health all the time dur
ing those IA years, and was never
without pain, with awful backaching,
had no appetite, was nervous, but at
that time my husbands sister 1.
recommended that try Cardui, which
l began to take and which has
caused me to be in better health ever
since. In a few days I felt that i'm
provement had begun. My back got
stronger and less painful. I got less
nervous and my appetite began to i'm
prove. In a few weeks my improve
ment was noticeable, and got into
better health than had had for IA
years. =. My walking before had been
very painful, and could not stand on
my feet to do any good. After using
these medicines, however, 1 could walk
without pain and was able to do the
work and housekeeping for an Ordi-
nay family. My back and appetite
were better and also my nerves."
If you suffer as Mrs. ELAN did, take
Cardui. 1t may be just what you need.

OLD vERERAN IN NEW ARMY
seventy-Two-Year-oId Man Is Now
Somewhere In France Serving
Uncle Sam as Cook.

Age seems to be no barrier for sery-
ice in the army.
For instance, says the indianapolis
News, there is Charley June. All the
Old-timers remember June. who years
ago supplied the fish and game for
hundreds OF indianapolis tables. His
place of business was opposite the
traction terminal station. and it was
his boast that he could furnish any
thing that could fly or swim.
June is O veteran Of the Civil war
and when war with Germany was de-
clared his old fighting spirit was re-
vived. Because of his age, seventy
two years, he did not feel qualified to
shoulder musket and go forth to
slay, yet he wished to do his bit for
Uncle Sam, so he went out TO Fort
Harrison as a cook.
He served during the. first officers
training camp and made good with a
vengeance. Then an entirely unexpect-
ed honor was thrust upon him. He
was invited to go TO France and cook
for the boys IN the trenches. The
proposition nearly took his breath,
but 1t did not take him long to make
up his mind.
During the Civil War / carried a
gun and fought with the boys said
Mr.. June, "and why shouldn't cook
for them now? realize it is no Sun
day picnic over there, but | do not

pleasant. In order to keep down the
height of the house, for the sake of
appearance. it is always necessary to
place the cOrnice Of q roof of this type
lower than the ceiling line of. the sec
Ond floor rooms. Few people will toll
crate low rooms or rooms having the
ceiling slOped down at the end and
this must be avoided in this type of
house. 1t is done by the use of large
dormers, such as that shown in the
accompanying perspective view. Such
dormers, properly designed, do not de-
tract from the good appearance of the
house; in fact. since they break up the
expanse of roof, they are a benefit to
the appearance of the building. By
the use of a decorative cornice, attrac-
tive windows and perhaps q small bal
cony with railing Of pleasing design,
the large dormer is made one of the
striking features Of the exterior. There
is no objection to a closet which has
a sloping ceiling, provided portion Of
1t has sufficient height so that all Of
the clothes which must be hung In 1t
will be kept off the floor. The bedroom
closets in this type Of house, then, may
be placed under the roof on either side
of the dormer and very little space
Is actually wasted.
A full sized basement is excavated
under the house. It is divided off into
heater room with handy coal bins
which may be shut off while being
filed to prevent dust from covering
everything in the basement, q laundry
room with tubs installed and vege-
table room having a built-in case for
fruit.

on the porch. All features combined
give the house a most attractive IA
cade.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the external design of the house is
the pleasant harmony of materials
used in its finish. The walls have been
covered with stained shingles and the
appearance of the surfaces is made
distinctive by having every fourth
course, narrow. the intervening courses
being laid with standard exposure.
There is an abundance Of white IN the
trim to brighten the building and the
dark shingle surfaces are further re-
lieved by the light gray stucco used in
finishing the porch walls and columns.
Again, there is just enough contrast
between this stucco and the white trim
to produce a very pleasing effect. The
