While the house itself is rectangular
in shape. the dimensions being 24 by
80 feet g inches, the broad porch
gives ii a fine appearance. The porch
is Is by 6 feet, but the overhanging
roof makes ii appear much larger.
The design for this house calls for
only six rooms, but they are what
might be termed regular rooms. The
living room extends the full breadth Of
the house, being % by ID feet. The
entrance is in the center, while at n
end are the stairs leading to the Sec
ond floor. The fireplace is built into
the interior wan and has a right angle
seat on one side. The dining room is
reached through glazed doors at the
right of the fire place. This is II by
IS feet, the buffet and two wall cases
being built into one end. The kitchen,
occupying the other corner of the
building is also large, 10 feet 6 inches,
by L feet 6 inches. The work table
is underneath the double windows on
the side. while there are cases on
either side OF Ii. The rear porch Is
of the same width as the kitchen and
Il place is provided for icing the ice
box without entering the kitchen.
The second floor plan is similar to
the first. The front bedroom is of the
same size as the living room, extend
ing the width of the house. AdjOin-
ing it, at the end of a central hall,
is the bath room, while there are two
other bedrooms, one on each of the
two rear corners. Closets are placed
in each of these rOOm
The basement extends under the
whole of the house. Here rooms may
be built to keep the heating plant sep
arate from the other parts of the
basement. which always is a good plan
as it keeps the heat from the family
food storage room.

prepared by the United States Depart

Spiced vinegar is used in making
pickles, for flavoring gravies, potato
salad and similar dishes. For picking
it is especially valuable, as the flavor
from spiced vinegar is tn" same all
through the pickles, while if pepper

The pickles the flavor is more cOncen-
trated at the places where these spices
are put. The herbs from which the
spiced vinegar is made may be used as
a garnish by mixing them in the pickle
An excellent spiced vinegar is made
by filling wide-mouthed bottle or Il
fruit jar to within two inches of the
top with spiced plants of different
kinds. such as slices of horse radish
and onions, umbels of dill, ripe seed
of white mustard and celery, green
seed of nasturtiums, fine stems and

Plenty of milk for Il child will coun-

raising. Many a little Tony or Marie

lieve baths, even Saturday night ones,
are superfluous to their offspring.
Fried peppers, coffee and other indi-

spite of dirt and unsuitable food, II
they are given plenty of clean sweet
milk most of them will live and thrive,
authorities now agree.
That all children may have this nee
essary food milk stations have been
established in the poorer sections OF
many cities. In these stations clean
milk may be had at a lower price than
the milkman can deliver it to the
home. The increased amount sold ut
these stations is good proof that their
services are appreciated by the peo-
pie living near them.

The soy bean, long and favorably
known in the Orient, is now becoming
a common foodstuff in the United
States. This bean. unlike ordinary
beans, contains much oil and no
starch. To make the flour, the oil is
pressed out of the beans and the re-
sulring pressed cake can then be read
lily ground into meal. This meal or
flour possesses higher nutritive value
than does wheat flour and more fat
in fact, so much fat that no extra
shortening is needed when it is used.
The following recipes for the use of
soy bean meal have been tested by
home economics workers in the United
