PLEASING DESIGN
 FUR FARM HOUSE
Frame Building Provides Accom-
 modationS for Large Family.
ROOMS ARE WELL ARRANGED
Practical Farm Home That Complies With the Old Saying That Ideal Home Is "Smali House With
 Many Large Rooms"
By WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

MT William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt. the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Rad ford, No. 1927 Prairie avenue, Chicago. H., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply.
 There is an old saying that the ideal home is a small house with a great many large rooms in it." What comes nearest this specification is the house shown ill the accompanying illuStra- tion. Here is house that is only 30 feet wide and 40 feet deep. Still it contains nine good-sized rooms, six of which are bedrooms, and is designed to accommodate the modern home convenienceS
 In securing the plans for home it is first necessary to consider the size of the family that is eto occupy it. Practically every modern home, with the exception, of course, of those planned on more elaborate scale, contains three rooms for the use of all the members of the family-living and dining rooms and kitchen. The addi- tional rooms added to this trio are

TIME NOT WHOLLY WASTED
Youth Missed Acquiring Academic Knowledge, but Probably Learned
 Something Worth While.

The pursuit of learning is not all ways an easy matter, as a young stu dent found who set forth from Bris- bane to study at Edinburgh. for when he reached the port of Falmouth he found that, owing to having taken 200 days on the journey at sea, the term was over. Contrary winds and other contretemps accounted for the delay during which the crew had to set about finding means Of turning some of the corn they were carrying as cargo into bread They found an old berry-mill-but the story is too long to tell It is one of the seas many yarns. and leaves the conviction that that student, if he is worth his salt, will not object to having lost some of the academic year learning of the ways of q barque on the ocean, Christian Science Monitor.

the necessary bedrooms, the number of them depending on the number of members of the family.
 Farm families oftentimes are large for the reason that accommodations are not only needed for the members of the family of the owner, but for the hired help as well. For that req son the average farmhouse is larger than the average town or city house. Also the farmer has more space upon which to build; the size of his house is not limited to the size of building lot which is, in most cases small.
 The small house with great many large rooms" shown in the illustration is a good type of farm home. While it's exterior is not elaborate, it is at tractive and the design is sufficiently simple to make it comparatively in- expensive to build. It is of frame construction, set on concrete founda- tion, which has no "jogs" in it. The hip roof on the house proper and the attic projections, combined with the gables over the entrance porch and the dormer projection over it make for good taste in the appearance of the house.
 The entrance door leads into a hall at the corner, adjoining which on the front is the living room, II feet inches, by F feet 6 inches. The bay of this room at the front with three windows adds to the attraction of the

EMPLOYED THE RIGHT TERM
What Else Was 1t Possible for Him to Say of the SoIost's
 Vocal Efforts?

The soloist was an egotist and the rest of the choir hated him cordially. And when it gave recent concert they were provoked when he got the very best parts. But still the mem bers felt that they had one way left to get even with him. One of their members did the publicity work for them and they knew that he too dis liked the baritone, and hoped that he would give him no publicity-a thing he craved more than all else.
 But to their dismay the next morn- ing's paper read MT. Blanks rendi- tion of his solos was very satisfying" They took the writer to task. And he retorted, T had to mention them, didn't l? Well, what else could I say? They were certainly satisfying to himself, and as for the rest of you l didn't hear you clamoring for any more of them, did I?'
 And they were convinced he was right.

that the work of caring for d house of this size may be done with the least amount of effort.
 The materials necessary for the con- structiop of this house always are carried in stock by local lumber deal CTS, as the size of the house is such that lumber of standard dimensions may be used without waste. The siding that adds to the exterior ap- pearance of the house is of standard clapboards
 Building costs have been reduced materially during the last few months; also where there was a short age of lumber a year ago, all dealers now have a full stock. The cost of this house may be determined by con sulting the local material dealer and the contractor.

It will be noted that the closets are unusual having been designed to accommodate space saving clothes hangers, which gives capacity for a great number of gar ments in small space
 Above the second floor there is a large amount of attic space, the roof being high enough so that more rooms may be partitioned off by the use of wallboard. The dormer projections and windows in the roof also help make this space available for sleep ing rooms, or for playrooms and stor- age.

CLOSE APPROACH TO REASON
Observations Have Shown That Or dinary Varieties of Ants Are Reai-
 ly Highly Developed Mentally.

If ants do not reason, they have some mental process allied to reason ing, remarks the Indianapolis News. A North side householder became in- tereSted in watching a colony of large ants fOraging on his lawn for food. The ants were about quarter of an inch long, yet many of them were car rying insects much larger than them selves to their home in the ground. Up and down and over the grass stalks they travelled with their burdens.
 The spectator became interested in one ant in particular which was trans porting the body of a green grasshop- per, at least twice the size of the ant. The grasshopper's long hind legs, armed with hooks, were continually catching on Instructions. The ant would stop, recOnnoiter, change it's grasp and go ahead.
 When the burden bearer reached the entrance to the ant domicile compli- cations arose. In aaten:oting to take the grasshopper dowE sidewise the hihu iCSS caught Oll tue euSeS Ol lIlc opening. After considerable worry on the part of the ant that had brought the food thus far, second ant came up out of the ground It looked the situation over carefully, then it delib- erately set to work severing the of- lending legs, and the rest was easy. The grasshopper was soon resting in the ant larder, far below the surface of the ground.

More About
VitanineS
By Bruce Belden, M. ID.

The vitamines In our food are
the most important element OF all
those which help to protect us
from disease by keeping US in
good physical condition. They ex-
list in minute quantities, and chem
lists have not yet succeeded In
insulating them. In the absence
Of the I minute substances nutri-
ton Is sure TO suffer.
There are certain ways in which
vitamines may be destroyed In the
process OF preparing food for the
table, and IL is very important
that the causes of yitamine de-
struction should be known TO the
housewife in order that she should
be enabled to obtain the full value
OF nourishment from the foods for
which she pays so dearly.
As proof Of the Importance
OF conserving the yitamines in
food we have had n number OF
authoritative experiments in which
II was found that animals fed on
whole wheat remained in good
health, while those which were fed
on fine-flour bread contracted
cholera-llke symptoms AID neuritis
In twenty or thirty days. In the
same way, those fed on cornmeal
made by the newer process, In
stead of the old-fashioned corn
meal, began to show signs OF
neuritis in from three to seven
weeks.
In the preparing OF food it has
been found that those kinds OF Vita
mines called the fat-soluble and an
tineuritic are somewhat impaired
when they reach the boiling point
but are not altogether destroyed.
The third kind OF vitamine, which
is called the antiscorbutic (scurvy-
preventing), is destroyed by boiling
and injured by a temperature OF 100
degrees Thus canned foods when
must be heated to a temperature or
$40 degrees for two or three hours
are extremely lacking in vitamines
(canned tomatoes. however, do not
lack vitamines.)
yitamines cannot withstand aka
lis. When bread is made with BIZ
carbonate of soda the latter is con-
verified into carbonate of soda.
which produces strongly alkaline
reaction, resulting in the destruc-
ton Of the vitamines.
