One Of the great problems now con-
fronting the large manufacturing In
situations Of the country is the proper
and adequate housing of the workmen
employed at the different plants. Sat
isfactory home building at q reason
able cost has become the vital concern
of the nations business, just as 1t al
ways has been Of the individual home
seeker. So now the most expert men
obtainable are employed to develop
plans for houses that will furnish max
imum accommodations and at the same
time be moderate in cost.
The logical and most practical solu-
ton to this problem Is to analyze the
old plan of housing, take advantage of
the mistakes that have been made and
get down to the modern basis of eff
ciensy and economy of space.
Not so many years ago real estate
sold by the acre instead Of by the foot
and building materials could be pur-
chased at a very low price. Every
family had large house and garden
and very little thought was given to
economy either in building construc-
ton or in housework.
Surrounded by such conditions, we
formed the extravagant habit of build
ing houses just about twice the size
necessary in order to have two COM
plete sets of rooms, one to occupy at
night and the other to. occupy during
The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1918-09-07

other room. In other words, you are
investing your money where it earns
dividends only one-third Of the time.
The modern builder builds for eff
cheney. He makes every room work
"A hours every day. This Is accom-
plished by the use of the concealed
bed. which eliminates the necessity OF
the bedroom.
The concealed bed has changed the
whole idea of what home should be.
It Is not folding bed, but full-size,
all-metal bed, standard In every dimen-
sion, so constructed that during the
day when 1t is not needed it is swung
into a clothes closet and concealed
behind door only feet wide. When
night comes In ten seconds time and
with scarcely any effort, the bed is
swung out of the closet and lowered
for use in the adjoining room. ANY
living room or dining room can be al
most instantly converted into a Sheep
ing room. Instead Of sleeping In small
crowded bedrooms. the largest, best
ventilated rooms in the house are used
for sleeping purposes at night, when
they are no longer needed as living
rooms.
Study the accompanying plan for
moment. Here is a fOur-room house
with six-room accommodations. Two
concealed beds are used in this house
and one regular bedroom Is provided.
Even in such small house there is
no feeling Of being overcrowded, all
on account of the arrangement. This
house with six-room efficiency Is only
q feet, 6 inches wide and &c feet, 9
inches long, yet it furnishes perfect
sleeping accommodations for six peo-
pie without overcrOwding.
The saving in construction between
this house and one of five rooms makes
1t worthy of much consideration.
The concealed bed is no longer an
experiment. 1t is a pronounced suc'
cess and is in general use today in
every section of the country. No 9th.
er one idea has been so instrumental
in reducing construction cost and fur.
nishing maximum accommodations in
a minimum space.

which they give their families. Ii Is
an art as old as history and IT'S evolu-
ton is as interesting study as the
evolution theory Is TO the scientist.
Probably more people are spending
a part or all of their time cooking
than in any other occupation. The
Importance Of food selection and prep
aration Is the most important factor
on which rests the health, happiness
and prosperity of mankind.
Cookery has its law of proportion
or right values, its law of harmony
and contrast as does all other arts.
Cookery appeals to the taste as mu-
sic appeals to the hearing or color to
the sight.
An educated sense of taste Is as
gratifying as the indulgence Of any Of
the senses and as necessary for good
digestion and physical as well as men
tai well being.
The study Of cookery should be q
part of every young Woman's educa-
ton. She should know when she has
prepared q well-balanced meal as well
as to know how to cook one. She
should be able to feed the sick, the
aged, an office man, a farmer, or a
baby intelligently.
To serve a meal that is attractive
to the eye, satisfying to the taste and
nourishing to the body, food that is
digestible and the cost of which is
kept within reasonable bounds of the
income, is an accomplishment which
any young woman may be proud
of attaining Such accomplishments
come only by practice and training.
Few cooks are born cooks; most OF
them have attained their proficiency
as other artists attain theirs, by hard
work and practice.
A trained cook should be In position
to command respect, for she keeps peo-
pie we'll by providing them with the
right kind of food. while the profess
sional doctor only takes us for repairs.
Perhaps some day we will become as
progressive as some of our Oriental
brothers who pay their physicians to
keep them well.

milk. then put it to dry as usual. II
it Is to be canned, boil It for five min
utes on the cob, then dip in cold wa
ter and drain, cut from the cob and
pack into jars; into each put a tea
spoonful Of salt to a quart, can and
fill the remaining space with boiling
water. Seal slightly, so that the jar
may be handled without loosening the
cover. Perhaps a better way is to
seal 1t tight, then turn back a quarter
way round; this leaves the jar so that
air may escape into the boiler and
keep the pressure inside and out. Have
q boiler with a wooden rack in the
bottom to hold up the jars and cover
them to the depth of an inch over
the top Of the highest jar. Count the
time of cooking only when the water
is boiling and cook three hours, add
ing 10 to Is minutes longer for two
quart cans. Remove and seal tightly.
If the rubber bulges out, unscrew the
top and slip 1t back, without exposing
the contents to the air; this may be
done quickly and no bad results will
follow.

What Flowers Mean to Mankind.

Eight hundred years before Christ a
man on the plains of Assyria wrote
this prophecy: Sand the desert shall
bloom like the rose, and the waste
places shall be made green. and there
shall be no lion there, nor any raven'
GUS beast, but sorrow and signing shah
flee away" Twenty-seyen hundred
years have come and gone since that
prophecy was written, but now the
dream is coming true.
Never in all history has there been
such an interest in gardening as there
is today. And we are gardening not
only for the sake Of the fruits and
flowers but because we wish to raise
better men and better women.-Her'

The fast young man at our boarding
house has been showing unaccounta-
BILE signs of alcoholic exhilaration.
Two or three times lately, In the dead
ly dull calm Of the dinner session, he
has come in with a flushed face and
CLASSY eyes and taken charge Of the
conversation. Last evening the school
teacher was telling about the splendid
progress Of the welfare work, when
the F. Y. M. broke in with a risQue

the spark of life is still latent, took

of ascertaining the source of his levfty,
