Died of Premature Old Age !

How many times we hear of compare
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived to be 20 Or so years
Of age. This fatal work is usually attri-
buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys
degenerate, it causes auto-intoxisation.
The more injurious the poisons passing
thru the kidneys the quicker will those
noble organs be degenerated, and the
sooner they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to prevent
premature old age and promote long life,
to tighten the work of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plentyof pure
water ali day long, and occasionally tax
ing a little Anuric before meals. This
can be obtained at almost any drug store.
You will find Anuric more potent than
lithia for it dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar.

The first of these two requirements
may be fulfilled by his stating definite
ly. his, desires in. the matter of speci-
legations to the architect and by the
careful selection Of a contractor to do
the work, who has established q repu-
tation for high-quality work. The sec
ond requirement is largely up to the
architect, but he'may be greatly aided
by his client If the latter has formed
a workable idea as to the general char
acteristics of the, building he desires.
There vas a. time when only the
larger residences were planned" The
man who had a limited amount to
SPEND on his house had to trust more
'of1esS to the faith which he had in the
man who did the building for him.
Today this man may reasonably expect
to- see a carefully studied plan with
defiaite and binding specifications COW
ering the proposed building before any
thing is decided upon. This develop
ment is logical, since 1T is wanted by
everyone commemorative owner be-
cause he wants to see what his money
is going to buy, the builder because
he wishes his client to feel that his
work has fully come up to expecta-
tiohs.
The design shown III the accompany
Ing perspective and floor plan is in
tended to carry out the bungalow type
of construction with some variation
in the usual external appearance. This
Is accomplished by the use of a roof
design which is mainly Of the hip
type, when viewed from the front, but
Which is really a combination of both
the hip and gable types. In order to
balance the appearance and relieve the
wide, area of shingled surface, a little
dormer is built in 'front.' : shss,
The sides Of the house are finished
in beveled siding. The porch is built
up Of cobblestones capped with white
stone or concrete slabs. The corner
columns are carried part way up with
the stone and are then relieved with
tapering square wooden columns. The
floor of the porch is Of concrete. This
house is preferably finished in some
dark shade with white trim.
Since the railing of the front porch
Is carried quite high, this porch may
be well utilized as another room dur
ing the months when the temperature
will permit. The living room is IN
tered from the porch, the door being
at one side of the steps rather than
in front of them, as is usually the case.
The large fireplace is directly In front
of the door as the living oom Is en-
tered. This living room Is not an ex-
tremely large room, but 1t Is very coy
and should furnish the family a great
deal Of comfort. A narrow bay is built
into the front wall having one large
and two small windows In it. There
are also two other windows in the
room.
The dining Is a somewhat larg-
fr room than the living room and is
fitted with a buffet in accordance with
