And Northfields May Be Had Overstuffed In the Suite Pieces If Desired

Until recently it hasbeen impossible to ob- tain this fine high-grade furniture in the overstuffed designs But now the last re- maining argument against these sanitary, clean, attractive pieces Is removed and they are made in every design that any
 other can attain and it brings Northfield into the homes not as an extra piece, but as the foundation of the entire decoration.

WOODLAWNWOMEN. SEEK MORE WATER
Household Supply Short And Fire Protection Said To Be
 Inadequate

Dependent on what they believe to be little more, or possibly leTs, than a two-inch water main for their household supply and fire protection, a delegation of Woodlawn women from Fourth and Fifth avenues called on the city commission at it's meet ing Tuesday morning and asked for relief.
 They said there were whole days when they could not get any water in their homes, despite sickness and other needs, that the supply slack ened or gave out without warning and that new homes as they were occupied were cut in on the made quate supply.
 The visitors asked the commission to take such measures with the Bir mingham Water Works company as would result in an adequate and con- stant supply of water and that a fire hydrant be installed in the vicinity of their homes to give them the prop CT protection.
 Mrs. H. B. McLaurine, who spoke for the delegation, said a recent fire in the vicinity had been handled by a chemical wagon satisfactorily, but had that apparatus been unable to cope with the blaze heavy damage might have been incurred, as there was no water to put out the flames.
 Commissioner W. l.. Harrison, an swering for the city, said the matter would be taken up at once with the water works interests and an effort made to get relief. Further, he said that Woodlawn Highlands, because of it's elevation, seemed to need more than the ordinary equipment to get necessary water pressure.
 The visiting delegates will get an answer from the city before the week is out, they were assured.

YOUR HOUSE OF HAPPINESS

Take what God gives, o heart of mine,
And build your house of happiness.
Perchance some have been given more;
But many have been given less.
The treasure lying at your feet,
Whose value you but family guess,
Another builder, looking on,
Would barter heaven to possess.
Have you found work that you can do?
Is there heart that loves you best?
Is there spot somewhere called home
Where, spent and worn, your soul may
rest?
A friendly tree? A book? A song?
A dog that loves your hands caress?
A store of health to meet lifes needs?
Oh, build your house of happiness.
Trust not tomorrow's dawn to bring
The dreamedof Joy for which you wait
You have enough of pleasant things
To house your soul in goodly state;
Tomorrow Times relentless stream
May bear what you now have away;
Take what God gives, o heart, and build
Your house of happiness today.

A PRAYER FOR EVERY DAY

Let me not shut myself within myself,
Nor dedicate my days to petty things.
Let there be many windows in my life
The entrance to my heart door that
swings,
Where through l go and come with eyes
that smile;
And folk without as gladly come to me,
That haply may learn that thing worth
while
The art of human hospitality.
Save me from self-preferment that would
gain
Its cloistered place, safe-sheltered from
the strife;
But, purposeful and calm and sweet and
sane,
Lord, keep me in the living.room of

OVER THE HILL

Just over the hill in valley so still
With the silence of grim despair.
The light o the stars Sits through the
bars
Of the prison that nestles there.
A snow white dove is the moon above
Hovering so calmly and still,
A banner of sighs adorning the skies
In the valley just over the hill.
There are trusts to be kept and tears to
be wept,
While the ocean of Time passes on,
Sprinkled with tears through endless years
While husbands and sweethearts are
gone
And years 60 apace in Life's grim race;
Still living each day with will.
Counting the hours the future towers
For the men just over the hill.
While hearts are crushed the tears are
brushed
From eyes that keep trying to smile.
With all their soul strive for the goal
That must come in the afterwhile.
Counting the days thousand ways
Til the counting ends with thrill
Their time is done and one by one
They pass out over the hill.
