In this design is the convenient ar

The cost of this house easily can

Much has been written and more
has been said about the advantages OF
building modern homes on the farms.
When farm home Is to be built, how
ever, there is no good reason why 1t

these advantages are put into a de-

foolish to build anything else.
Building a home is something that
most farmers do only once in life
time. Before building, therefore, 1T
is wise to make careful study OF
home designs. Consideration should
be given to the size and number Of
rooms required; but greater thought
should be expended on making the room

HOW
RHEUMATISM
BEGINS

The excruciating agonies Of rheuma-
dsm are usually the result of failure of
the kidneys to expel poisons from the
system. If the irritation of these uric
acid crystals is allowed to continue, in
durable bladder or kidney disease may
result. Attend to it at once. Don't
resort to temporary relief. The sick
kidneys must be restored to health by
the use of some sterling remedy which
will prevent a return of the disease.
Get some GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil Capsules immediately. They have
brought back the joys Of life to count
less thousands of sufferers from rheu-
matism, lame back, lumbago, sciatica,
gall stones, gravel and other affections
Of the kidneys, liver, stomach, bladder
and allied organs.
They viii attack the poisons at once,
clear out the kidneys and urinary tract
and the soothing healing oils and herbs
will restore the infamed tissues and
organs to normal health.

Edible Fish in Deep Water.

The French government has recent
ly published some interesting statis-
tics on the relative depths at which
sea fish can be found and taken. The
figures are compiled from the lifelong
observation of deep-sea fishermen.
Flat fish like plaice lie at the bottom
of 20 fathoms, or 420 feet, and sOles
have been taken in specially cOntruct-
ed nets at depth of $50 feet. Hake,
guarnard and rays abound up to a
depth of 800 feet, while turbot and
brill are frequently found In 4S0 feet.
1t is noticeable, however, that only
full-grOwn fish are able to stand the
tremendous pressure at such depth.
French steam trawlers have fished TO
a depth of three miles, bringing up
strange inedible species, but it is
proved beyond doubt that edible fish
can be taken up to depth of 1.6OO
feet. This fact eXplodes the theory
that the deeper the water the coarser
and less useful the fish.

No Sense In PLAYING Martyr.

Affecting the abused mortal won't
keep you from paying the fiddler.
Some folks are always being made to
bear the burden Of things-so they
would have you believe. The fact is
SO many people can't do really big
days work and they throw in lots of
bluff to make up for the shortage.
But the more bluff they use the more
they call attention to what they are.
Air is unstable and the hotter It is the
more it starts things. So beware of
playing the martyr. There's nothing
in 1t and the sooner you give 1t up the
better. Face the music like man.
BE master Of the situation instead of
a wilmer.
