PUPILS LEARN
 ARCHITECTURE
Elias Howe School Pupils Construct Attractive Fur nished Apartment at
 School.

One of the most interesting attempts in architecture and house furnishings has been started by the pupils of the Elias Howe school as shown from the annual exhibition now held at the school. Completely renovating one of the large vacant school rooms in the basement, the students have begun construction on an apartment, to be furnished and designed according to their tastes and ideas.
 Although 1t will take a few years before the apartment is completed and furnished, the work as it stands to- day, shows a fine beginning. It is well worth seeing the exhibition since the color scheme, artistic arrange ments, and the excellent planning of every particular pertaining to the rooms are of the highest order and worthy of mention.
 In furnishing the dining room, the pupils communicated with various painting and decorating concerns, thereby obtaining the best results and using the most attractive and best suited. The pupils also had the bene- fit of getting acquainted with the se- crets of writing business letters in their communication for the furnish ings of the room. The dainty cur
 
 been originated by the children and show splendid results.
 There are many excellent pieces of | furniture constructed by the eighth ! grade boys. The umbrella made by Raymond Newton, the large mahog- | any music cabinet and the writing | desk by William Bannay, the writ | ing table and tabouret by Martin | Stenquit are especially fine. The | girls, too, had a share in furnishing ! the apartment The eighth grade | girls made fine large old-fashioned ring and the girls of other grades as sisted by designing the table linen, the l curtains. scarfs. and other furnish ings The artistic trays and baskets that are found in the room are the works of the boys of the irregular room. Edward Moore of that room deserves special mention for his fine work.
 | It is a wonderful work that these | children are doing. Their interest aroused in these lines, they are now most eager to continue the work and things for themselves and seek infor- nation and advice of people who ! specialize in those capacities. A hearty cooperation prevails in | the construction of this work and the | pupils of the higher grades have been | invited to join in the designing deco ! rating and furnishing of the apart | ment Plans for the work to be done next year are also on exhibition In ! addition to the apartment, there are many pieces of work made by the boys of MT Buckley's manual training class on exhibition.

Loss of Appetite.

As a general rule there is nothing Sc
rious about loss of appetite, and If
you skip a meal or only eat two meals
a day for few days you will soon have
a relish for your meals when meal time
comes. Bear in mind that at least hive
hours should always elapse between
meals so as to give the food ample time
to digest and the stomach a period OF
rest before second meal is taken.
Then if you eat no more than you crave
and take reasonable amount OF out
door exercise every day you will not
need to worry about your appetite.
When the loss of appetite is caused by
constipation as is often the case, thai
should be corrected at once. A dose Of
Chamberlain Tablets will do 1t. adv
