of the inconvenience and i'll health
suffered because of lack of decent SAN
itary arrangements. And one pic
lures by contrast a sort of paradise.
Yet no ready reason appears why
the farmer and his family and his en-
ployees are not entitled to reasonably
comfortable places in which to live.
The great advantage OF the room
arrangement shown in the bungalow
farmhouse illustrated lies in the fact
that the living quarters and living
rooms of the family are separated
from the rooms that are used by the
hired help. This arrangement applies
both to the first and second floors.
This idea was recently brought into
prominence by the Minnesota state
contest for prize farmhouse designs.
Each design had to incorporate this
arrangement in some way.
From the back porch the entrance
leads to a Mushroom, where the men
coming in from their work can clean
up, without going into the kitchen at

And I'll help you too, Peter"
''Thank you," said Peter Goblin, as
he hoped and jumped away, for he
felt far more cheerful now.
He went to call on his friends, the
children. He had a very hard time
with one little girl. "Good evening"
said Peter, as he perched himself on
bed.
She drew the clothes over her head.
"Oh, don't do that" screamed Peter.

"Oh, DEAR" thought Peter, "she will
dream I'm horrid indeed if she does
that" But after a moment she poked
her head out again and looked at Peter.
She couldn't help laughing at him,
for he looked SO funny and yet SO sad.
But still she was frightened, until
after she had looked again (for be-
tween looks she hid her face), she saw
two big tears rolling down Peter Cob

asked. She wanted to be polite when
he felt so badly and yet he seemed so
small and tiny to be called just sir.

"'cause children think I'm bad. They

for the transaction of the farm BUSH
ness. In these days of scientific farm
ing, the guessing system is as useless
as it would be in any other kind of
business. There must be fling and
records that are kept on costs and all
the various other details of business.
The farm Office is located so that the
owner or manager can see all the
buildings from his room through the
windows on the three sides.
The kitchen and dining room are
connected by double folding doors,
which can be opened SO that the table
can be stretched away out long and
placed between these rooms at thresh-
ing time, silo filing, or for the big
Thanksgiving dinner, when all the
folks are home
A feature of the basement arrange
ment is the large space that is pro-
vided in one corner for the storage of
fruits and vegetables. This is placed
away from the furnace and the laun-
dry stove, and is shut off with solid
masonry wall.
In exterior design this farmhouse
follows the popular bungalow style
broad and low, well lighted and COM
Portable.

The planning Of the ordinary Amer
lean farm dwellings has been given
little attention by most architects. AS
a result, these dwellings are lacking
in attra ctiveness and in many conven-
fences that are economically possible
and necessary if country life for those
who make it possible for most people
to exist is to be made comfortable and
pleasant.
The ideal farmhouse specifications
should include hot air furnace or
other heating equipment, a modern
plumbing system and wiring for cleo
trio lights.
mum accommodations:
Three bedrooms and one bathroom
for the family and one bedroom, with
separate toilet conveniences to ac-
commodate one or two hired hands !;
living room, dining room, screened
kitchen, laundry and Mushroom, and
sufficient basement space for heating
apparatus, fuel and storage of fruit
and vegetables.
1t is permitted to plan dining room
and kitchen in combination, screening
the one from the other by folding
doors or otherwise, and to plan for
such a room to take the place of a
separate living room, provided there
is a separate room on the first floor
large enough to accommodate a piano

torian voice of Canadian sergeant
was heard to roar at one moment,
Steady, you Canadians! Where the
dickens do you think you are going?''
And the next moment, Come on, you

out the din his voice lowered above
the combat, and when it was all over

he could think of to say was, "What

Taboo Hotel Lists.

that man consulted when I assigned
him a room?" asked the hotel clerk.
'sHe comes here every few weeks, but
he never accepts room till he has
turned over the pages of that booklet.
There are lot Of others like him and
they carry a whole catalogue, COM
piled by themselves, of hotel rooms.
They call it their taboo list. They
watch the newspapers carefully, and
whenever they read of a suicide or any
make record of the room number.
Then when they come to hotel and
register they consult their books and
make sure they aren't being given the

Says DOdd's Kidney Pills,
Wonderful Remedy

Mrs Della Olson, of New London, Wis,
hke many others, knows after experience
Ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills that
they are unexcelled. Here is what Mrs.
Olson recently wrote us:
'I suffered with rheumatism for years.
There was a gravel deposit in the urine
dark circles around my e eyes and was al
ways tired. / bought box of your Dodd's
Kidney Pills and am glad I did, for / Sc
cured quick relief and think they are a

dining room from the Mushroom. A
case is provided in which the men can
hang their outside work clothes.
Two bedrooms are provided for the
help on the second floor. These can
be shut off from the rest Of the up
stairs by closing one door in the large
bedroom that leads to the back hall.
The family occupy the other three
rooms on this floor and reach them by
the front stairs, while the back rooms
are reached by the back stairs.
On the first floor one of the back
corners of the house is fitted up as a

and kitchen storage on the first floor.
A good sized screened porch is like
wise required. Dining space is to be
provided for at least 10 Or II persons.
Picturing all this, one naturally con-
trasts it with former days of wood
stove-heated farmhouses, wherein
chilly drafts played havoc with ones
good temper; of the unheated bed
rooms, wherein the water froze in the
pitcher; of the smoky kerosene lamps
that required so much attention; of
the absence of ice in summer; of the
absence of screens against the flies
and mosquitoes Of the thousand and

Another provision is for a side en-
trance in connection with the kitchen
entry. This would serve for the men
coming in from work and there would
be a Mushroom with a sink or lava

RED CROSS READY
TO AID FAMILIES
Home Service Department
Will Keep Soldiers in
Touch With Folks

Home service sections Of the
American Red Cross are organized
with just one purpose-to see that
all families Of soldiers and sailors
are, maintained in comfort and peace
Of mind while the men are in SER
vice. -
Amy soldier or sailor who knows
or fears that his familXais in trouble
should appeal at once to Home
Service. He should go at once to
the Home Service man attached to
his division here or abroad, or write
to his family to take their troubles
to the Red Cross Home Service Sec
ton in their home town.
Men in service know they will be
taken care Of if they are wounded
or sick; they should know also that
the Home Service workers Of the
Red Cross are willing to relieve them
Of worrying concerning their fam
lilies so far as that is possible.
Relations between Home Service
workers and families arc as conf1d-
entail as those between doctors and
their patients. home Service means
sympathy, advice, expert inforrna-
ton about laws and regulations,
medical care spiritual comfort and
everything which can be given by
real friends to compensate the fam
lily for the absence Of the man in
service.

Taps were sounded and the final
salute was fired over the grave of
Lieut.. Olof ]. Tanner at Nroorhead on

mon, told of the splendid records
Lieut.. Tanner had made in his work
at the aviation school and since he
had been commissioned. DR.. J. A
Aasgaard spoke Of the sacrifice made
by Lieut.. Tanner and said that such
sacrifices are binding the people Of
the nation together.
Rev. Jacob Tanner, father Of de-
ceased, made a strong appeal for the
writing Of letters to the men in the
service. This was especially direct
ed to the fathers who. he said
should find time to write at least
once a week to their sons who are
in the service.
The flag draped casket was borne
by Rev. Mr.. Tanner and his three
surviving sons, Arvig. Agnon and

LITTLE SINGING ON, MARCH:
British Soldier Whistles While
Marching and Sings When Resting.

British Soldier Whistles While
Marching and Sings When Resting.
(By Associated Press.)
Behind British Lines in France,
July 27.-The picture which portrays
the British soldier as continually
vocal while he tramps along the
roads Of France, is overdrawn.
The period Of modern intensive
training in England somehow has a
curbing effect on the marching song
When the men first join the service,
marches are short and equipment
light.
In those days they seldom march
in silence. But as the marches grow
longer and the packs heavier, their
songs become proportionately short
er. By the time they begin march,
ing in France with full equipment,
songs have become the exception
rather than the rule.
A 15-mile march along the cobbled
highways Of northern France with a
full kit and 100 rounds Of ammuni-
ton leaves little breath for singing.
Whistling requires less exertion and
a mouth organ is very popular, but
a brass band is the ideal accompani-
ment to long march. It sets an
even rhythmical step which is the Sc
cret Of endurance.
If the soldier cannot spare the
breath to sing when on the march,
he makes up for it at other times,
and concerts are the most popular
form Of recreation behind the lines.
