l. Don't attend meetings if il
rains. You might get your feet
wet, and you are not in the ply
sical condition that you were in
the cantonments or at Brest.
2. Don't think Of going if it
is warm, moonlight night. There
are lots of other things you
could do that sort of night For
instance Oh, roll your own
ideas.
3. Ii you should attend a
meeting, find fault with every
thingh that is going on. If your
officers are showing pep, demand
to know in open meeting what
political offices they intend run
ming for.
4. Never accept an office in
the Post. Most offices have du-
ties connected with them, and it
is much easier to criticize the
way the other fellow is trying to
handle the job.
S. Get sore at the organization
if you are not appointed on al
committee.
6. If you are appointed, Don t
bother about attending commit
tee meetings. They often are a
bore.
Z. During discussion on a mo-
ton, keep still. After it has pass
ed, tell everyone why they should
have voted it down.
8. Forget to pay your dues.

BOUND TO DELIVER SPEECH
Guest at Banquet Must Have Some
what Astonished the Rest of
the Gathering.

There was TO be a banquet at an
Indianapolis church and one of the
parishioners felt sure that he would
be called on for a speech. Realizing
how poor he was at imprOmptu
speeches he accordingly made ready
for this occasion by writing one and
then memorizing it.
The night of the banquet came and
after rehearsing his speech to his
proud wife the parishiOner went to
church. elated over his fOrethought
The crowd assembled and gathered
around the table. And then-then the
minister called on the parishiOner to

For minute he was appalled-also

began to compose a grace. He gave
one sentence hesitated and then to
his wife's horror plunged into the
middle of his speech. He finished it,
too. OF course every one was amazed,
his wife most of all, for you see he
even used his practiced gestures.

HOT WEATHER
Hits the Stomach Hardest

Chicago, nl.-Hot weather upsets
the strongest stomach and causes serf-
GUS trouble for the weak ones, so word
is now going out to thousands OF
eatonic users that they should, dur
ing this hot weather, be on the safe
side and take one eatonic tablet
about half an hour before meals, as
well as after eating. Do this and
keep the excess acids and poisonous
gases from forming in stomach and
bowels. Eatonic acts quickly; 1t villa
help the appetite and take away the
hot-weather, feverish, thirsty feeling
from mouth and stomach, because 1t
takes up the excess acids, poisons and
gases and carries them out of the
body and, Of course, when the cause
Of the trouble is removed, there can
be no bad feeling. Eatonic is like
bit of candy, and is recommended to
all as a safe, sure remedy these hot
days for stomach and bodily troubles,
caused from overeating and drinking
cold things. Adv.

meals can be served without the work
of preparing the dining room. At the
same time the nook is partially sep
arated from the kitchen. A large pan

side of the room is the entry from
the rear porch, with a closet at one
side.
Economy in the use of the space in
this house is continued to the second
floor, where the architect has ingen-
iously provided five goodsize bed
rooms in addition to the bathroom.

Was Borrowed MiddIlno.

Gen. Robert E. Lee was a frugal
man. His ordinary dinner consisted
of a head of cabbage boiled in salt
water and a pone of corn bread. 1t
is told that on one occasion a number
Of gentlemen had an appointment to
dine with the Confederate warrior,
General Lee had ordered his servant
to provide a repast of cabbage and
middlings. A very small bit of mid
ding garnished the dish when 1t was
brought in; so small was 1t, in fact,
that the guests were stricken with IN
due politeness and each in turn de-
clined it. and the middling remained
on the dish when the dinner came to
an end% and the guests arose to go.
Next day the general, remembering the
untouched middling. ordered his negro
servant to serve it up for dinner. The
negro hesitated, scratched his head
and at length said: You see, MarSe
Robert, de fac am this: that theah
middlin was borrowed middltn', and
Is done give it back to the man wheah

Strand one day when a beggar held

nothing for 4S hours. Shaw gave him
a note to Frascati's for a full meal,

for storage. The height of the roof
also will tend to keep the house cooler
in summer and warmer in winter.
The basement extends under the
whole house, with the exception of
the sun parlOr. II is reached by stairs
leading out OF the kitchen and, as
the whole building is 40 by 20 feet,
there is plenty Of room for the heating

he realized that this house is one
that will appeal to the head of large
family who wants to build a home
to house them comfortably and at the
same time has not a large amount
of money TO invest. The rooms arc
many but are arranged so that the
work of caring for the home can be
done with the smallest expenditure
of energy. Every convenience and
comfort are provided for.
Such a home as this in these days
of high rentals would be held at such
a figure that it truly is cheaper to
build than pay rent" The first
thought of the architect who designed
this home was to give the home owner
the maximum amount of space, and a
comfortable and handsome home at
the least possible cost.

second floor there are sleeping accom-
modations in plenty.
From an exterior standpoint this
home leaves little to be desired. 1t
suggests the Colonial type of archi-
lecture in that it has an entrance
placed in the center. with the Coloni-
al balance at either side. The large
sun parlor at one end is a modern
addition that is found in all present
day good homes.
The house is rectangular in shape,
which means that it can be erected at
the minimum of cost. At the same
time the roof is so designed that the
plain effect of this shape of house is
taken away. The building is of frame
construction, set on a concrete foun-
dation to grade and brick founda-
ton walls to the first floor sill.
Above, the walls are covered with
stucco over either wood or metal
Iath or some one of the patented
stucco boards. The brick foundation

In this day when the tendency of
architects is to design homes with
few rooms and to plan those rooms
so that they do the maximum of duty,
the man with a large family does not
have so large a range of home build
ing plans to select from. Until some
ten years ago few homes containing
less than seven rooms were designed
or built; now the opposite is the case.
However, sociologists to the con-
trary notwithstanding, there are many
large families, and these large fam
lilies want homes planned so that
there are enough bedrooms to go
around. At the same time they want
homes that are up-to-date In appear

rooms-is shown in the accompanying

 Corn gained 1 5-S to 3-4 cents, oats 5-S to l 7-S cents and provisions 10 to SC cents
 Offerings in the wheat pit had a bull ish effect today on grain values Wheat closed strong. 1 IA to 3 cents net high CT. with December PA 1-2 to PA 3-4 and March 22O
 Corn gained 1 5-s to ? S-4 cents oats 5-s to L 7-S cents, and provisions 10 to SO cents.
 Offerings in the wheat pit tended to draw more attention to seaboard buying than might otherwise have been the case.
 The cautious disposition of sellers was in turn ascribed in some degree to gos- sip of a possible scarcity of wheat at domestic milling points between now and next June owing to large export ship ments.
 Imports from Canada to the United States necessary in consequence, appear ed to be widening out. BuIlish sentiment was also noticeably augmented by the strength Of coarse gram, a considerable pei centage of corn being stillaliable to damage from widespread frost expected tonight
