living room is built into the wall op-
pOsite these doors. In addition to the
light which is admitted, through the
doors, there are four windows which
add to the general cheerfulness of the
room. French doors lead to the din
ing room which is large room having
four windows. The buffet is built
against the wall under a window at
the far end of the room.
There is also an entrance into the
house by means of a stoop and door
leading into a vestibule between the
living room and the kitchen. There
are two little windows in the vesti-
bule, one on each side Of the door.
An attractive staircase Is built against
the back wall in the little vestibule.
Near the kitchen there is a door lead
ing to the basement. rs
The kitchen Is practically square and
is fitted to save steps for those who do
the work in this part of the house. The
cupboard is arranged in such a manner
that its central portion is built below
the two windows, making a handy
work table where the most light is
available The sink is handily located
in the corner Of the room opposite the
cupboard. The rear porch Is essential
ly another room since it is built as a
closed-up porch which may have either
screens or glass panel sash fitted into
the openings in its walls. This porch
will prove to be very handy addition
to the kitchen.
On the second floor there are three
bedrooms, sleeping porch and bath.
A stair hall Is centrally located on this
floor from which the attic is reached.
In case only two bedrooms are needed
for sleeping quarters, this plan offers
a pleasant possibility in that the large
rear bedroom and sleeping porch may
easily be transformed into a second.

The study of architectural history is
interesting especially in its application
to modern buildings. Aside from the
entertaining development Of styles and
orders of architecture which are re-
counted and associated in the pages of
this history, 1t Of course has a prac-
teal value to the architect. The larg-
er buildings, especially memorial struc-
lures and public buildings, are nearly
always designed to follow some definite
type Of architecture which originated,
perhaps, a great many years ago. Even
homes show the evidence of influence
Of the old masters in this art. Coun-
try estates are quite often arranged
according to the plan of some of the
ancient estates referred to in the his
tories of the earlier days of civiliza-
ton.
The American house architecture is
probably Influenced by more different
architectural types than that of any
other structure. Not only do the old

in the simple treatment. Then again,
the fitting of oddshaped trim runs the
expense of labor up-the saving of
which, in the simple treatment, may
be spent in obtaining a higher grade
of material or a more thorough final
finish which will bring out all of the
qualities of the wood. Handled in this
manner, it is comparatively simple to
add the little personal features which
are so absolutely necessary in trans
forming the house into the home.

FRUIT LAXATIVE

Every mother realizes, after giving

classic orders find partial expression,
but the American home is also infiu-
enced by modern styles of foreign
colEtries. Inside and out, modern
American homes show the marks of
many ages. This does not imply that
each home is loaded with a mass of
decorative dstail. The really beautiful
home is never overloaded with decora-
tive features of an elaborate nature.
It is in the simple features that the
good things in all architecture are COM
bined in the American homes.
The matter of simplicity has spe-
cial bearing upon the subject. AS the
strength Of Lincolns wisdom was
founded in the force Of simple express
sion, so, with quite the same applica-
ton to human understanding, the
strength of architecture type is quite
often based upon its simplicity. On
the other hand, the dancer who is
graceful in the simple, slow steps is,
indeed really accomplished artist. So
it is with the designer of homes-the
much-desired quality Of simple effec-
tiveness is hard to attain.
How is simplicity expressed in home
design? In the first place, the general
shape Of the house may be made irregu-

Lines Of the New Hats.

Spring models in hats show radical
changes from those Of the winter, such
as low, rolled brims, medium high,
soft, unlined crowns and a continuance
Of the marked tendency to substitute
curves for angles.
Brims turned abruptly back from the
face are still featured by many Of the
houses, but these, unlike the winter
models, In practically all cases show
an even bulge or curve from front to
back. Often the severity Of the line

dressing which is to be passed with

Golden Dressing.-Take a fourth of
cupful each of pineapple juice, or
ange or cherry juice, and lemon juice,
heat in a double boiler, beat two eggs
lightly; add a half cupful Of sugar,
pour over the hot juice and cook until
smooth, remove to a dish of cold. This
dressing is good with any fruit salad.
Virginia Baked Ham.-SOak six or
eight pounds of smoked ham over
night, drain and bring to the boiling
point. Remove the skin, dot over with
peanut butter, stick in a dozen cloves
and place fat side up in the roasting
pan. Put a little peanut butter with
some celery or celery seed in the pan
with four bay leaves, adding a little
water, baste occasionally and roast
three hours. Use half pound of pea
nut butter; this gives the flavor so well
liked in peanut-fed hogs.

PAYS FOR 16O
ACRES OF LAND
From the Crop of Wheat on So
Acres in Western Canada.

This story Of paying for your land
out Of one years crop is fully authen-
ticated by a great many farmers in
Western Canada.
And now, all that the farmer makes
is velvet and you find him going more
extensively into stock raising, for all
authorities agree that il a short time
there will be demand for live stock.
such as even will tax the vast re-
sources Of Western Canada. They
will go into stock raising because Of
the adaptability Of the country to pro-
vide food and fodder without feeding
grain if necessary. They will go into
stock and improve their places. They
will install steam and heating plants
in fact, many are now doing it. They
will have automobiles, in fact In many
districts there is not farmer but has
one. They will beautify their homes
and erect fine barns until the whole
country will be as attractive as many
of the counties in the best states in
the Union. But we started out to tell
you Of the farmer who paid for 100
acres of land from the crop of wheat
of of So acres. The Holden district
on the line Of the Grand Trunk Pacific
does not appear to the ordinary OBJ
server to be any better than many
other districts along that line, and
probably isn't. It was in thi- district
that John Larcome, a settler. pur-
chased in 1915 100 acres of raw prai-
rie land, He broke and seeded So
acres. His crop turned out well, and
he sold the greater portion Of it fof
$2,970. His land cost him S16.50 per
acre, or $2,6A0. So that the crop from
the SO acres paid for the land and LEFT
balance Of over $500, which with
part Of the crop left over would just
pay for the cost Of operation. This
/ is not really an unusual case, hundreds
/ Of other farmers in Alberta sud Sas-
katchewan having been able to do the
same.
Sales Of land are being reported
from many districts in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta at good prices.
And values are yet low, but with the
flow Of any value that will take place
after the war, no doubt they will be
considerably increased. The home
steads in the Park sections which are
to be had actually free are having
the attention of a good class Of set
tiers, who want to go into mixed farm-
ing.-Advertisement.
