TOWN HELPS
SEEKING SITE TO FIT HOME
Many People Do Not Stop to Think at All of the Vast importance of
 the Houses Setting.

Most of the people who are saving to build house-the sort they have dreamed of possessing-give so much attention to the actual plans of the dwelling that they do not stop to think at all of the vast importance of the house's setting.
 They are joys and profits in site hunting that the average home.builder who is willing to content himself with the first strip of land in a desir- able neighborhood with which his real estate dealer confronts him never guesses.
 Obviously the average city lot is the fiat. treeless, 50 by 100," on which. of course, there is little pos sible latitude In building. The house must be oblong and stand on one of its ends about in the center of the lot, with an inconsequentiai margin on either side. and fiower-trimmed square of green in front and rear. There are many streets of this type in every suburb.
 But in every suburb also there are odd corners that have been passed by as unsuitable Like the neglected creed beds in the farmers fields, they are generally of odd shapes and wooded, the hand of the ''improver" having passed them as hopeless. In rural districts where land is rated by it's cultivatable area, these are literally waste and can often be bought for very little.
 One of the least appreciated kind of sites for a home is the gully or draw. Everywhere among the hills there are places where the waters have cut out a bed to the rocks and stream splashes swiftly downward among the trees. There are few greater outdoor joys for folk who like to plan things themselves and execute them with their own hands than the development of one of these spots.
 If you have definite plan for your house in mind before you have an idea for the site. you should seek your site to fit the home. A chateau would be out of place where a bungalow cot tage would be wholly at ease. A barn might be badly misplaced on the ideal site for farmhouse.
 But site hunting untrammeled by aught save the limits of ones imag- ination is great fun and liberal edu- cation.

delicate taste, who has meals served in a slip-shod, careless, ill-planned manner
 When the patient is confined to her bed small table or bed tray may hold her food comfortably and attractively A bedside table is not always pos sessed, and the tray may be support ed by boxes or books on each side of the patient whatever the table or tray may be it should be covered with spot less linen as fine as one can afford, whatever one may be able to endure when well, by the sight of soiled linen, 1t should never be required of one who Is i'll. Things will annoy and cause keen suffering of mind in one who Is i'll, which would pass unnoticed by the person in health. A person who is III Is out of balance in mind and body, and should be treated with every in- dulgence.
 Small amounts of food should al- ways be served to patient. It is far better for him to ask for more than to be satisfied by the sight of too much. Hot things should be hot on hot dishes, likewise cold foods should be cold. It Is often problem to carry tray from one end of the house to the other and keep the food hot, but a little thought will overcome the dlffi- cuity. A hot dish placed over the hot food will keep 1t for some time. Tea or coffee If served in a pot. will al- ways stay hot longer.
 See that the patient is comfortable, if in bed before her tray comes to her. Most people know the discom- fort of sitting in strained attitude in order to reach food. After the meal see that no crumbs are left in the bed. "one of the minor miseries of illness" as one writer has said, and often the cause of the obstinate bed sore.

Duty of the Community.

A happier childhood, better provis. ions for play, better surroundings, greater bodily vigor and a stronger spirit, less hampered by gathering doubts, are gifts which the commit nifty, as the fairy godmother of the rising generation. can lay at the era dle of every child in America.
 The community that has not the vision, the loving kindness and the plain common sense to make the child better fitted to fight off the doubts and the fears of the future, commits a crime against itself as well as against it's children.-New York Eve ming Mail.

The success of the Y NJ. c. A. cam paign the week of November 11.1S is vital It is just as vital as providing men and money and munitions and food, for if the morale of the Army is not maintained in the field victory will be deferred If not defeated. That is the special mission of the Associa- 900 to prosecute the work at home and overseas during the year 1918. Arkansas proportion of this amount is S140.000, of which a small per cent is to be set apart for the state work.
 The program adopted at the great representatives from more than thir- ty states calls for more than five hun dred buildings for the use of Ameri- can troops at home and not less than two hundred and fifty additional buildings for American troops in France. To man these buildings, and for similar services in Russia, France. and Italy, and in prison camps, more than four thousand additional secreta- ries must be employed. Already over two thousand are actively engaged in service.
 The War Work Council at the meet. ing in New York adopted budget as follows:
 For work in the American
 Army at home ,120, 900 For work in the American
 Army in France ..... 11,994, 900 For work with the French
