HAILIMG THE HAPPY EVENT
Sent Out Following the Arrival
of "Little Stranger"

The war is evidently responsible for
the following birth" announcement
which appeared recently in a Paris pa
per: "Since twelve o'clock last Friday
1 am here. Pierre Blouget of - in
Ifantry is my father and Marie his
wife, is my mother. My name is Fran
co.'s" Distinctly original was the an
nouncement sent out by a Welsh
musician when his wife presented
him with a baby girl. 1t took
the form of four bars of music in
scribed on a letter card. The recipi-
ents easily recognized these as from
''The. Messiah" unto US q child is
born" A facetious Scotsman named
Cash amused his friends by an inti-
nation through the newspapers that
his better half had presented him with
"a little Cash." He went on to say
that as result he would have still less
cash in the future, and the more Cash
he had to keep, the less cash he would
have to spend" Combining a birth
announcement with an advertisement
strikes one as the last word in enter
prise, and Mr.. Fox. poultry dealer,
who inserted the following notice in
the papers, should be congratulated on
the novel way in which he commended
his wares: "Another little Fox found

Small Homes Get Attention.
Some of the hest architects in the
country now are giving more and more
attention to the planning of small
homes. Because of this fact, the de-

Building this year is going to be ex

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy.
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter Of using little Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
small bottle of Knowlton's Dand@ine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fluffiness and an incompara-
bic gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find a trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
--Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer Of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with q little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv

is a typical modern city design. Liber-
al use is made of double doors, full
glazed, between the several rooms,
while the st3irs, partly open to the
dining room, make an interesting de-
tail. Six good rooms with bath are
provided
There are three good sized rooms
beside the sun parlor and spacious
hall on the first floor. The living room
is 13 by 16 feet and is connected with
the hall on the side and the sun parlor
at the front by double doors, thus MAX
ing it more extensive, especially in
summer when the doors to the sun par
lor will be left open. A fireplace and
windows, which occupy most of the
outside wall space, are attractive fea-
lures of the room.
The stairway is open both to the liv-
ing room and dining room. The latter
is IL by 131a feet.
Opposite is -he kitchen, 91a by 111s
feet. There is a good sized pantry,
While door leads to a rear porch.
Three Bed Rooms.
The second floor contains three bed
rooms, the bath room and a sleeping
porch, which is over the sun parlor.
The sleeping porch is 71A by 16 feet,
the same as the sun parlor Along
the front of the second floor are two
bed rooms, each opening into the hall,
while at the rear is the thipd bed room,
with the bath adjoining.
From this description it will be seen
that the house is an attractive one on
the interior. All Of the rooms are so
Connected that there is not the neces-
sity Of going around one to get to
another.
The exterior view shown gives an
idea Of how attractive it may be made
on the outside, considering that it is
planned for small city lot. The long
space in the sun parlOr for window
boxes, the expanse along the front for
shrubs and the stretch of lawn all
make 1t attractive.

small lots in cities and towns, or who

Weekly Health Talks
GOING BACK TO NATURE
BY DIR. W. LUCAS.

People get sick because they go
away from Nature, and the only way
to get well is to go back. Something
grows out of the ground in the form
of vegetation to cure almost every i'll.
Some Of these vegetable growths are
understood by man, and some are not.
Animals, 1t would seem, know what to
do when they are sick better than
men and women. Observers have
noted that n sick horse, dog or cat
will stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth in the field or
yard, which, when found and eaten,
often restores appetite and health.
Haven't you seen these animals do
this very thing yourself?
DIR. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y, long since
found the herbs and roots provided by
Nature to overcome constipation, and he
had these vegetables collected and made
up of Mayapple, leaves of Aloe, root of
Jalap, into little white sugar-coated pills,
that he called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
You must understand that when your in
tcstinos are stopped up. poisons and de-
cayed matter are imprisoned in your sys-
ten, and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does your
head ache, you get dizzy, you can't sleep,
your skin may break out, your appetite de
clines, you get tired and despondent. As
matter of fact, you may get sick all
over. Don't you see how useless all this
suffering is? All that is often needed is
few of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
which he has placed in all drug stores for
your convenience and health. Try them
by all means They are probably the very
thing you need right now.

Teach Children to Love Books.

Happy are the children of this day
and age in that they have so many
good books; in that If they cannot buy
they certainly can borrow from the
public libraries. Here is one truth, a
very simple truth, that all parents are
under obligation to teach their chill
dren-that if they can learn to love
books they can always forget the irri-
tations of men and things; they can
lay aside cares and still their pas
sions; they can put their worries and
disappointments to sleep.

children can be trained to help. The
best plan is to get a big blue pencil,
such as is used in a newspaper office,
and mark your paper each day as you
read it, penciling whatever recipes or
stories or pictures you wish clipped.
Then some afternoon, when the young
sters are restless, get out your papers
and scissors and set the restless hands
to work.

Finding a home has been an arduOus
job in many cities and towns during

workers from the rural communities,
the restrictions on building made nec-
