Health or Sickness
on Liver and Bowels
Acting in a Healthy,
Normal Way.

Physicians agree most of our all
ments, such as Indigestion, constipa-
ton, sour stomach, b~iliousness, head
aches and attendant ills are caused by
sluggish liver and bowel action.
If you suffer from any of these all
ments, which cause a pale sallow look,
dead looking eyes, black heads and
pimples, a listless, d~own-and-out feel
ing, headaches, coated tongue, etc,
get after your liver and bowels.
Keep your liver and bowels in a
healthy condition. In order to keep
them healthy they must act in a nor
NAL way, thus resulting in clearing
the skin and complexion, purifying
the blood, which passes through the
liver every fifteen minutes for purif1-
cation, making you feel better in ev-
cry way, clearing the complexion, put
ting a sparkle in your eye and color
in your cheeks, and doing away with
the many ailments mentioned above.
TRY THIS: Purchase a 10c or 25c
package of PAULEY'S YELLOW
LAXATIVE TABLETS from your
Druggist. If he does not carry them
in stock, ask him to order them for
you. Take n or two every night as
per directions; keep the treatment up
for a month, then check up on results.
These tablets contain no calomel; only
pure Vegetable ingredients, which
have been prescribed by some of our
most successful medical men for
years. Pleasantville Pharmacal Co.,

A StuccO House
OF Pleasing Design
Proper Planting Adds
Warmth and Charm to
the House of Stucco.

A stucco house is always accom-
panied by note of formality and
dignity, no matter how small the
house may be. While to many this
Is pleasing attribute, / believe the
majority of home lovers would agree
that a desirable touch of beauty
could be added to a stucco house by
the addition of trellises, ornamental
planting and a good garden setting.
Vines creeping here and there
against the wall break the monotony
or color. and window boxes with a
lovely bit of brightness give the
needed note of cheer. Unconventional
paths. Hover bordered, leading up to
the entrance and then on to a pic
turesque garden logically planted
around cozy Summer house-appro-
pirate shrubbery and as many larger
trees as your lot will warrant-add
to this pleasing design and won
derfully convenient interior, and the
dignifed stucco house" has merged
Itself into the home of simple lowell
ness pictured today
In this design we have tried to
combine these qualities-dignity, con-
venience. simplicity and beauty The
mouse is made of hollow tile and
stucco and is so planned that it can
be comfortably managed with but one
servant
From the hall large living room
Is seen at the left, with a bright open
IRE In the corner. Light enters this
room through two groups of win
dows and French door opens on a
porch, intended to be used as an out
door sitting room. The dining room
Is entered directly from the living
room and 1T also is provided with a
french door opening on the porch, so
that the meals can be served on the
porch In Summer if desired. A large
pantry, with abundant shelf room
ana sink, is in direct connection
with both kitchen and dining room.
novel feature of the kitchen sec
tion or the house is seen in the pri-
Vate stairway for the maids use in
going to her own quarters or to the
cellar. If the. mistress of the house
decides to solve the servant problem
by ooing her own homework, this
stairway could be done away with
and the size of the kitchen thus in
creased.
Upstairs the effect of this change
In the stairway would be to increase
materially the size of the sewing
room. elimination of this stairway
would, OF course. slightly reduce the
cost of building also But back
times, when some one in the kitchen
ueslres to go upstairs without being
seen by those in the living room,
over the porch at the back of the
mouse is a sleeping porch, which
could be glassed-in for a Winter
sitting room, if desired The porch
was placed at the back of the house
to afford privacy and view of the
garden. We have supposed this house

almost any suburban lot would leave
room for small garden ct the back

both vegetables and flowers

view of the kitchen garden. If maids
could have vine-coYered porch
where they could rest and look off to
the garden, Homework would be more
attractive and would appeal to class
of girls who now find it far pleas
anter to work in factories.
The color of the exterior of this
house should be chosen to harmonic
with the type of planting that is to be
used about Ii. Stucco can be tinted in
many delightful ways that will save
it from the usual cold gray tone. If
the walls were toned a light cream
then the roof and all the woodwork
could be soft green or mellow
brown. A house of this type needs
planting around it's base to connect
1t with the ground: otherwise it rises
from the earth too sharply. There
should always be a few evergreens,
such as jumpers, arbor vitae, retin-
isporas and cedars and few broad
leaved evergreens such as rhododen-
drons and laurels.
The house, being only 45 feet in
width could be built on a 50-foot lot,
but this would be altogether unap-
propriate, for such design should

entirely dissatisfied with the final re-
suit if he erected this house on. a
