Beige reaches the age of eighteen and
has saved what in American money
would be about two dollars, which is
enough to buy piece OF cloth for
himself and his wife, he proceeds to

parents Then if the presents are
considered large enough the wedding

cost is the first consideration AS
there are a great many more of the
latter than of the former, the bunga-
low shown in the accompanying illus
tration has been selected as a sugges-
ton for the home builders of 1919.
FriIs Add to Cost
The house, like Woman'S dress,
costs in proportion to the frills there
nre on it. Every angle there is in the
framework means a duplication of the
work of constructing the corners. The
bungalow has only four corners, al
though there is nothing plain about it's
exterior appearance. The building is
&c feet wide and 81 feet long. But to
this has been added the sun parlor, u
by feet, and the hip roof, which take
away the plainness and make it an at
tractive home.
Five rooms and bath and the sun
parlor comprise the space in this bun
galow. Living room, dining room and
kitchen are ranged along one side and
two bedrooms with the bath between
them are on the other side.
A notable feature OF the interior ar
rangcment is the placing of the sun
parlor so that it is off both the living
and dining rooms, adding to both the
comfort and convenience of these two
rooms.
A study of the floor plan will reveal
that this bungalow has some excellent
features in the arrangement Of the
rooms. The living room is of good
size, IL feet 6 inches, by 13 feet
inches. The arrangement of the win
1ows, two in front and one at the side
make it light, pleasant room. En-
trance to the sun parlOr is gained
through a doorway at the end, while
there is colonnade between it and
the dining room.
The latter is of the exact size of the
living room, which, because of the

Apples should be carefully washed
before giving them to children as there
may be many unseen germs on the skin

A candle is a good travelling COM
panion. When carrying bottles that are
prone to spill or leak and spoil the

Il bit of the melted wax around the

carry a candle to reseal them.
A normal salt solution, one teaspoon
full of salt to quart of hot water, is
a fine drink to flush the system. Take
it half hour before eating. 1t will
not be absorbed, but will wash the en-
tire digestive tract.
When it is necessary to drink boiled
water, aerate it by pouring it from
one dish to another and serve it cold.
The fiat taste will be removed by this
treatment.

DigestihiIity of Cheese.

BY experiments on the digestibilits
OF cheese it has been shown that much
depends on the special physical char
acter of the food. All fat cheeses are
said to be dissolved and digested with
great rapidity because of the molecules
of casein-the nitrogenous part of the
cheese-are separated only by the fat.
and so the gastric juice can attack a
large surface of the cheese at one
time. Whether the cheese be hard or
soft does not appear to influence di-
gestion, and there is no connection
between the digestibility and the per-
centage Of water present in the
cheese.

Certain instances of birds found
singly far to the north of their usual
range are possibly to be explained by
the whirl of our cyclonic storms. The
wind, turning cCunter-clo, kwise. blows
off shore in the south and carries the
bird out to sea. But sooner or later. if
the bird has the good fortune to last

from these is that cheese is not hard
of digestion and is one of our most
nutritious foods. The idea which has
caused cheese to be put on the black
list for digestibility is probably that
cheese is often eaten at the end of a
heavy meal and the attack of indiges-

the whole meal itself is TO Blame.

There is one advantage in a home
such as this that will appeal to every
thrifty person. 1t will cost little to
heat it. The heating plant, of course,
will be located in the basement, which
extends under the whole of the house.

food, fuel and whatever is not in daily
