British Museum.

The British museum recently OBJ

Sloane, an Irish-boFn physician Of

the father of the museum. Sloane was

English physician had before attained

and silver medals, ores and precious
stones in his collection. Several 9TH

Sloane before the museum was formal

idea in house that is designed so
that there is considerable space vast
ed. In such house the coziness is
sacrificed for some other effect that is
wanted It is possible to get many
other effects in the house, such as
grandeur, elegance, etc, but this does
not impress the average person much
in the design of home.
The little bungalow shown here has
that homehke. cozy appearance that
typifies the average persons idea of
real home. All the structural features
of the bungalow combine to give this
impression. The roof is very low and
is made with fiat pitch. The caves
have a wide overhang, which is one of
the most inviting features of bun
galow. The wide caves and the low
pitch of the roof have another effect.
ALSO in bungalow construction.
The bungalow at its best is built
mates such result cannot be obtained
because of the necessity of having a
basement that is adequate to hold a
heating plant. The same low-built eff
feet is obtained by building the bun
galow with wide caves and with fiat
pitched roof.
This bungalow is built far enough
above the ground so that a basement
can be provided with the necessary
windows and without too much eXca
walton. The porch also aids material
~ in getting this same effect of being
close TO the ground. 1t is very broad
and is built under a separate gable
from the house. The broad, flat roof
and the heavy porch pillars give 1t a
coy, inviting appearance.
The floor plan calls for five rooms
that are arranged in convenient
style. On one side of the house is the
living room, dining room and kitchen,
and ON the other is the bathroom and
two bedrooms.
The main entrance to the house is
living room. This room is of good
size, being IL by l3 feet. A big fire.
| place occupies almost one side of the
room. 1t Is almost necessary TO have
a big fireplace in a bungalow, as nc
house of this type would seem to be
complete without one. 1t is generally
placed in the living room, though il
may be in the dining room or some
| time in q small den built off the living
room. On either side of the fireplace
in this design is narrow bookcase
with window over each one. There
is also wide window facing out onto
the front porch. Plenty of wall space
is provided, so that some carefully.

chosen furniture can be obtained to
fit in with the general scheme of this
room.
In back of the living room, and con.
nected to it by double swinging doors,
is the dining room. This room has a
convenient built-in sideboard, and
there is also a side entrance to the
house that opens into it.
In the kitchen is the inside entrance
to the basement, which also has an
outside entrance placed alongside the
back porch. A well-arranged and
handy pantry is built off the kitchen
The bedrooms are placed one at the
front of the house and one at the back,
with the bathroom between. This is
one of the best methods Of arranging
this part of the house.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get a small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment 1t is applied and
does not infiame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

BILE. This type is the one-story bunga-

his room arrangement for this type Of
house he may be reasonably sure that
the architect will not be forced to
change a great deal in the result of the
efforts of the occupants in building up
their home.
The bungalow comes nearer to meet
ing the average persons idea of home
than any other type of modern build
ing. One of the reasons is that there
is no wasted space in the bungalow.
Every nook and corner is utilized and
is in use all the time. This reason has
perhaps more effect in creating the

The home builder is often disap-

tect has changed great deal of what
has been worked out after months of
study. Sometimes he doesn't realize
that the changes mean, perhaps, the

him to consider the house from the

Almost everyone who plans to build
a house has an arrangement of rooms
formed in mind as the result of a
great deal of thought and discussion
with the different members of the fam
lily. The room arrangement is nearly
considered as the primary restriction
upon the architects free hand in draw
ing up the design. Unconsciously,
perhaps, the prospective home builder
often places the architect in a difficult
position because of this fact.
Because of his training, the architect
does not see the room arrangement
alone, but he sees various arrange
ments of partitions, one above the 9th
er so that the floor and partition loads
will be carried down to the founda-
tons; he sees the installation of
plumbing in the most desirable in

in which this plumbing terminates,
where they will be most convenient j;

the fact that some of the hose sent

to lose a year. They are the only
permanent elements in the garden an&.
they cost more in the first place thar

here is your great chance to make q
success or to spoil the effect Of your
place and waste lot Of money. Here:
are some good rules:
Save money by planting your ave
nue. trees far enough apart for then
to become perfect specimens. Nearly
everybody plants too close. Measure.
the spread of the best specimens in
town of the species you want. Try
to get all the people in your block to
plant the same kind Of tree Donf
plant silver naples, box elders or
Carolina poplars. Their beauty ix

Save money by not planting a use

hedge is never cheaper than a fence.
nor can you expect it to be as effective
in keeping out animals. A tall
thorny hedge, like Usage orange, is =
bad thing for a suburban place.

Help Uncle Sam Save,

How many people stop to think that
q 1-cent postage stamp costs Uncle
Sam as much as postage stamp of
the highest denomination made? 1t
is a fact. Consequently people who
place two 1-cent stamps instead of one
2-cent stamp on a letter are increasing
the cost to the government of carrying
on the post office, and the people who
cover parcel post package with
small-denomination stamps instead of
using one Of two Of high denomination
to make up the amount of postage re-
quired are guilty of an act of thought
lessness inimical to conservation. The

think of this hereafter, and to do it's
