 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 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 flies 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 ance and in interior arrangement.
 A modern, convenient eight-room house-a house containing five bed rooms-is shown in the accompanying Illustration This home was designed especially for a family of good size. The two frst-fioor rooms that are

Street NcmcncI Iature.

Tho practice of giving numbers and letters instead of names to thc streets and avenues of our cities is SD familiar to rS that l. evcl;eS TO thought, cy- ceDt of Its convenience. But it is q practice often remarked upon hy for eiguers as peculiar to the United States and as evidence of the matter of fact, unimaginative character of our people.
 Historical dates have been called picturesque names for streets. The French set the fashion in this respect. Paris has its Rue du % Jrillct and It's Rue du Septcmhre.

Mr.. Lea Of California; think the
department of agriculture has exclu'
sive jurisdiction over the forest re

Tor has jurisdiction over the parks.

differently from forest reserves If this
tract was acquired?
Mr.. Lea of California-Yes; so I un'
derstand.

FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOV WELL AND HAPPY
THIS Is WORTH READING

The experience of Mr.. E. ]. Tou-
palik, 1438 Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: II have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
/ would catch cold and become so
hoarse I could not speak for six or
eight weeks. I could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter I was taken with
Grip aid was in awful shape. A.
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time I had
used three-fourths of a bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. I am on my second
bottles Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. It in
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,

Refusal of Public to Meet Further
Advances Credited With
Turning Scale.
DEPARTMENT STORES Lead
Clothing Stock Surplus, Especially In
Women's Wear, Likely to Bring
Reductions-Silk Reductions
Are to Be Permanent.

New York.-The substantial reduc-
tons that have been made recently in
the prices of all commodities by de-
partment and other stores throughout
the country have led the buying pub
lie to wonder whether or not these
reductions are the forerunners Of con-
tinued reduction in the high prices that
have prevailed since America entered
the war. In an effort to ascertain the
cause and probable extent of the down.
ward movement, the New York Times
has made inquiries among representa-
tive merchants in the wholesale and
retail lines as well as among financial
leaders. Their replies seem to agree
that a permanent reduction movement
has begun.
In the minds Of many, however,
there Is still much doubt as to the
meaning of the reductions that have
been announced and made by the de-
partment stores and other commercial
houses. Even those who are not yet
ready to say that a general fall In
prices is to be expected are unwilling
to predict that present levels will be
maintained. A majority Of wholesale
and retail dealers admit that prices
are too high and that a reaction must
come before the public will begin free
buying.
Surplus of Clothing.
One phass Of the reductions made
by department stores has been the eff
fort of middlemen to discover how the
plan is worked. Dozens of wholesale
and retail dealers confessed that they
or their agents had made purchases at
department stores for comparison
with their own prices and qualities.
The representative Of a big London
department store said he had bought
from a department store certain ar
ticles much cheaper than prices quoted
by manufacturers.
In the wholesale clothing trade it is
generally admitted that there is a sur
plus Of goods. By some this surplus is
said to be due to unreasonable wealth.
er. and by others 1t Is admitted that
the public has refused to pay existing
prices. A number of representatives
of this group said reductions must be
made all along the line, from the
manufacturers to the retailer. With
overstocks already on hand, clothing
dealers are said to be %canceling or.
ders. while the mills are eager fol-
business and willing to offer price con
cessions. 1t is now predicted that
fewer sales will be made during the
coming season, If the reports Of early
fall ORDERS booked by the clothiers
may be taken as a fair indication, but
what is lost in volume, the clothing
trade hopes, will be made up in a con
centration on higher class garments.

Price Peak,
Dealers Think

In the silk market 1t is NO secret
that price reductions which have been
made are, to be permanent. Huge
stocks Of raw silks are held in this
country by japanese interests and
must be released following the break
in the Japanese market, at substantial
ly lower prices than were prevailing
during midwinter when top prices
were realized for raw materials. Mem
bers Of this trade do not hesitate to
say that prices have been too high,
and that the time has come for a re-
adjustment on an entirely new basis.
A disposition to await developments
has marked the cotton goods market.
There has been only gradual easing
off in the prices Of printcloths and
