Although the smaller apartment
containing two, three and four rooms
with space-saving beds, is at the
height of its popularity in the large
cities, there is still a big demand
for a real home by the man with a
family who wants plenty of room for
his children. This type of home Is
substantial as well as comfortable n
can be built in a variety Of styles.
The home shown here is an excel
lent type of a stOry-and-a-half model.
1t represents the result of conscien-
tiOus work on the part Of the con-
tractor. The exterior is particularly
pleasing, built along lines distinctive.
The front porch with side and front
stone steps and heavy brick columns
and gable roof Is well constructed and
Inviting. The projecting rafters and
small-roof dormer set rather far back
under a projecting roof which is sup
ported by three small braces. are ad-
ditional touches that make the home
look very appealing to the man with
a medlum-sized family. 1t would be
hard to find a more convenient house
to live in. Resting on a foundation
of concrete, this house is built of
frame, part siding and part shingles.
The shingles have been put on in a
rather unusual way and add consid-
cradle charm to the general appear
ance of the home.
1t is when you take a look at the
Interior that the real beauty of the
home is revealed. The lower floor

pandeIions for Health.

Next time you pass a field Of dande-
lions, sit right down and eat some
of them. Not only do dandellons make
you healthy, but they also keep you
young.
DIR. Josiah Oldfeld says that a daily
diet of dandelion leaves, fowls eggs,
grapes, lettuce, milk, watercress, honey
and salads in general, will do more to-
ward keeping you young than anything
else.
Says he: "Old age is caused largely
BY deposits in the blood-vessels and
cells of the body of waste matter"
Fresh vegetables help remove this
waste matter and form new cells. -

SHOULD EASILY BECOME LAW

American mothers cannot be dictat-
ed to even by specialists as to how
they shall bring up their children, but
to keep their babies healthy and hap.
py, and will take advantage of every
opportunity to learn. This is the ba-
sis on which the Sheppard Towne.
Maternity Bill, recently reported ia
porably out of committee, offers in
struction to mothers. 1t assumes
that no public provision or safeguard
ing maternity and infancy can sue
coed unless it secures the entirely
willing and wholehearted cooperation
of mothers themselves. If the lives
of mothers and babies are to be saved
it is not enough to teach the best
methods of infant and maternity care.
The individual mother must be so con-
WINGED that these methods are worth
while that she may be depended upon
to observe them faithfully in the daily
routine Of home life.
The Sheppard-Towner Bill, there
fore, proposes to teach through the
medium Of health centers and visiting
nurses tie hygiene of maternity and
infancy to all mothers, if they desire
to learn. 1t provides for adequate
medical and nursing service for all
mothers, if they wish to avail them
selves of it. By providing a service
which is free, universal and dignfed,
it offers every inducement to the
mother to make use of it's advantages.
But it involves no compulsion what
ever.
We cannot see why single con-
gresham would vote against this
great humanitarian measure.

AN EDITORIAL ON HASH

An American who recently returned
from London tells us of visiting a Sal
walton Army restaurant, one Of those
Ravens for the poor man with only a
sixpence in his pocket. AS usual, the
eating place was like a pin in paper
and the walls were frescoed with bib
lical texts. Also there were a num-
Der of signs for the benefit of those
seeking food. One sign read: "We
make our own hash" Underneath
was the biblical text: Father forgive
them; they know not what they do"
We can't help saying that, not be-
ing divine, we have been the direct
opposite of forgiving after many a
dish of hash rashly ordered in res
taurant. Why is it that public cooks
make such botch of dish that is So
easily made? That is, it seemed to
be very easy for mother to make it..
But let's not in any way compare res
taurant hash with mothers hash--it's
sacrilege. Hers was heavenly. Hers
was real hash!
We'd hate to be put on oath as to
how she did it. We just remember
that there was little brisk hustling
in the kitchen, sound of quick chop
ping, jingle and sizzling, then an
odor--oh, boy, that odor was a meal
in iteslf! And few minutes later a
big, steaming dish rested on the ia
Bile, with dad and every kid ogling
it and almost dying for an instant
taste of it's contents.
Newspaper editorials usually run to
weighty politics and weightier eco
Monies, but this editorial has to say
that hash properly favored and pro-
perly cooked is worth all the dishes
of politics and economics in creation.

NO STEER WITHOUT GOOD MEAT
AT LOW PRICE.

.WANTED-A steer composed entire
ly of loins and ribs.-H. c. L.
Unfortunately, "there amt no such
animal" If a porterhouse steer could
be developed by a live stock Luther
Burbank, we could all have porter
house or sirloin steaks and rolled
roasts from the first and second ribs
next to the loin, and therefore most
expensive, as your butcher will tell
you.
Nearly everybody wants high-grade
cuts, but there aren't enough ribs and
loins to 90 around. These cuts COM
pose but 81 per cent of the carcass,
the loin constituting Is per cent.
What's the answer? If people would
buv more chucks-they make excellent
stealzs-or briskets and clods Gall fore
quarter cuts) there would be cheaper
sirloin and porterhouse steaks. Ask
your butcher or food economist about
the possibilities of the fore quarter,
nlso cheap cuts from the hind quarter.
Then there is the flank. Ever eat a
good flank steak? 1t possesses flavor
that cannot be duplicated. The full
flank composes per cent of the beef
carcass, the square-cut chuck about
"a per cent.
In New York and other Eastern cit
les far removed from the packing
house center, ribs and loins can be
sold at lower prices than in Illinois, be-
cause of the heavy demand by the for
eign-born population for rounds,
chucks. rumps and other cuts less pop
ular in the West. The least expen-
siye part of the beef carcass is the
shank. which is excellent for stews
and SOUPS. The round will supply
roasts as we'll as steaks. Pot roasts,
steaks and braising meat are fur
nished by the rump at medium ex-
pense. Chucks supply roasts, steaks
and stews. The shoulder clod, another
economical cut, is used by well-taught
cooks for steaks and pot roastS There
is large variety of extra portions
that many housewives know little
nbout, such as the heart, liver. kidneys,
lungs and sweetbreads.
But you must know something about
beef cuts to know what to buy and
how to buy. Then you can neglect the
costly steaks for the time and return
to them when the price has been equal
lied by the more general buying Of the
Iess-familiar cuts.
Woman purchasing agents of the
home, in learning more about the va
rious cuts and their culinary posi-
Dilities, will have impressed upon them
