home builders who are determined to
have a home, but who are not able to
make very large investment, the ac-
cOmpanying building design is shown.
This is not large house, neither will
it cost much to erect At the same
time it is attractive in exterior ap-
pearance and contains seven good
rooms. 1t will fit nicely on a 50-foOt
lot and leave considerable space on
either side for light and ventilation.
The design of this home is what
makes it so pleasing to the eye. The
sharp gables of the roof, together
with the long slope makes it a story
and-a-haf house, but by putting broad
dOrmers in the roof at both front and
back, three large bedrooms are pro-
vided on the second floor These
dOrmers also help TO make the ex-
terror attractive. The house is Of

Uncle Sam and Railroads Negotiating

NEGOTIATIONS looking to the
l y funding of the railroad indebted
ness of approximately $SOd,0OO,0O0 to
the government and the settlement Of
the claims of the railroads against the
government are under full way be-
tween government officials and the
railway executives. These negotiations
have resulted in progress toward def
mite conclusions.
Railway officials estimate that the
net amount due the railroads from the
government is somewhere between
$575, 100000 and S600,OO0,000. They
admit that it is difficult to make a
definite estimate of the total amount
due because of the items in dispute.
Roughly, however, they place the
amount yet due for the period Of gov
ernment control at 1888, 100000 and for
the guaranty period of six months af-
ter federal control at $229000,000
Director General Davis estimates
that the claims of the railroads
against the railroad administration
will aggregate $1,25O,OOO,OOO. Forty
seven railroads have already settled
with the government, and they were
allowed approximately % per cent Of
the amounts claimed by them. The
total claims Of these roads aggregated
$124,O4O,S67, of which $50, ,486, ,914 was
allowed.
Applying this percentage in the
total. estimated claims against the
railroad administration, railway Off

that the kitchen may be reached from
the living room through a hall out Of
which run the stairs to the second
floor All the rooms are well pro
vided with windows, making them
iight-and CHEEKY and at the same time
well ventilated.
The dOrmers, front and back, give
a great amount of light and air to two
of the three bedrooms, while the third

the other. The front bedroom is IL

Also the bathroom is larger than
usually is found, it being 8 feet wide
and feet long. All Of the rooms
open off a central hall.
A basement extends under the

with a porch projection of 8 feet 6

You Cannot Gripe Sicken or Savate Yourself If You

Calomel salivatesl It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle Of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents,
which is harmless vegetable substi-

Learn to TeII Children storIea.

Stories interest children to such an
extent that they absorb the entire
attention for the time being. Mothers
should learn to tell their children
stories of kindness, unselfshness, truth
and dishonesty, so as to help them
distinguish the good and evil of their
actions. Storytelling will also go a
great way in developing the imagina-
ton, which is an essential in woman
hood and manhood A good imagina-
tion helps one to remember and think
distinctively. The public library will
help many a mother in procuring
books dealing with children's stories,
games and dances that will delight
any child.-Thrift Magazine.

If you take calomel today youll be

Sometimes it is just a little hard

More Power to the Presidents Elbow

said Kenyon today, Il shall introduce
the amendment and press for its con-
sideratiOn. l have been surprised at
the interest it has attracted. have
received letters from practically. every
section commending it and urging its
submission to the people. The authors
of these letters have been men from
many different walks of life, including
doctors, lawyers, college professors
and business men,"
Senator Kenyon is convinced that
his amendment should be so drafted
as to give to the President the right to
veto riders where they occur in an
appropriation bill as well as being en-
powered to cut out single apprOpria-
tions without destroying an entire sup
ply bill, the funds in which are apprO-
priated for carrying on the business of
a great department of the government.
He reiterated his belief that the
adoption of such a constitutions
amendment would be of immense value
in the drive for economy and says
that when the public understands the
Importance of the matter, sentiment
will be sufficiently strong in its favor
to obtain ratification by the necessary
two-thirds Of the state legislatures.

STATE FIRE INSPECTOR
MAKES ANNUAL BLUFF

After a complete survey of local
garages the inspector from the state
fire marshal's office at Columbus has
gone his way, leaving behind the
promise that the owners Of those
which do not comply with the law
will within the next few weeks re-
ceive instructions from Columbus or
dering them to abandon or remodel
their buildings.
As matter of fact this law con-
corning garages has been on the sta
tute books for a year and a half, and
we have yet to hear of it's enforce.
ment in a single instance. A law
which permits the sale, display and
demonstration of cars from certain
building but bars repair work being
done therein is Of doubtful merit, tc
say the least.
Within few weeks garage owners
will receive orders from Columbus
It is doubtful if these instructions
will be enforced and it is mbre doubt
full yet wether they can be enforced
if the matter is taken into court. Al
any rate the owners are losing but
little sleep over the waiter. If j
wasn't for little things like this the
"boys" wouldn't have a job and the
taxes collected from the people might
be sufficient to meet all the needs o1
the government.
