The Spirit of Cooperation

Among the powerful agencies that
have responded we'll to the call OF the
Government for aid in tn war crisis
fhe railroads are entitled to special
credit. The story of their united ser
vice in moving troops, material ana
supplies of every sort will furnish an
inspiring chapter in the history OF the
country's war preparations.
Vice-president Burnham OF the
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy rail-
road has taken a further step that Is
greatly TO his credit. In a published
Statement he urges full cooperation
between rail and water carriers IN
order that the movement OF traiflt
may be expedited. The volume ol
freight offered the roads for some
time TO come probably will be greater
than they can handle speedily, Mr.
Burnham points out. He makes !,
clear that the Burlington railroad VII
encourage the interchange OF traii,l,ti
between rail and water routes and VIII
refuse to make specially low rates
between points served by water car
r;ers for no other purpose than the
destruction of water competition: =,
This attitude of this official OF the
Rurlinoton railroad is broad minded
and encouraging in high degree. II
is one more manifestation of the fine
spirit of cooperation due to the wal
/ That Is proving truly beneficial to the
country. This spirit should remair
permanently to bless the American
people after the close of the war;

There is, of course, a direct relation
between the house and it's surround
ings. BY this we mean that either the
surroundings must be laid out for the
house, or, as In the case where a spot
of special natural beauty is selected
for the building site. the house must be
designed for the surroundings. The
latter case obtains in some small towns
and in country estates. The former
case, or q compromise between the
two, exists in the larger towns and
cities.
Perhaps it Is not the case In this
country so much rs 1t is in some of
the European countries, but the fact is
true, nevertheless, that for the lover of
beauty both natural and architectural,
the small town which has been situated
where nature has furnished plenty of
trees, a pleasing topography and clear
watered streams-such a town offers
the best possible site for the building
OF a home The point is this: 1t is
cheaper and usually more satisfactory
to let nature furnish the attractive sur
roundings and model the home into the
background, than to build the back
ground for the home.

Kidney & Co.
(BY DIR. j. H. wATsoN)

. The kidneys and the skin work in har-
mony. They're companions, the skin
being the second partner. If we are
anxious TO keep well and preserve the
vitality of the kidneys and, also, free the
blood from noxious elements, we must
pay special attention to a good action Of
the skin and to see that the kidneys are
flushed so as to eliminate the poisons
from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in a bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush
the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure
water with meals and between meals.
Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug
store Anuric, which will help flush the
kidneys and the intestines. You will find
that Anuric is many times more active
than Gthia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.

with the upper dark portion, is very
pleasing and always gives the impress
sion of brightness that goes with WELL
kept premises. The upper part of the
walls is finished with shingles, while
the lower walls are faced with beveled
siding. The porch Is built into the
house and fitted in q banner which
gives an air of privacy. A set of
screens may be used on this porch dur
ing the summer time, these to be taken
out during the winter and glass sash
inserted in their place. The porch will
then act as a blanket to protect the
front Of the house from winter winds.
The small restibuie In which the
staircase is buff has a cased opening
into the living room. The fireplace In
this room Is tucked eoziiy into q COR
ner and a little seat Is built against the
wall at n side Of 1t. A cased opening
leads back to the dining room, which is
built into the corner of the h0use-the
ideal situation for this room. A first
hoo bedroom, which would make an
excellent den II not needed for other
purposes, Is entered from the dining
room.
The kitchen with its connecting
pantry is well arranged to meet the
demands of the critical housewife. A
work table Is built beneath the pantry
window and the cupboards are handIIy
located on either side. The refrigera-
tor may be placed in the pantry, and
an opening is provided SO that 1t Is
iced from the landing ut the top OF the
short fight Of steps leading from the
grade entrance.
Three very large bedrooms are pro-
vided on the second floor. Each has q
generous closet fitted with shelves at
both ends. The bath is centrally To-
Gated Off the hall at the head OF the
stairs.
The view also shows q neat and IN
expensive two-car garage built on the
rear lot line. The garage is painted
white to conform with the lower part
Of the house with which 1t is in line.

Ionesomeness. Therein lies the great
