ON FUTURE HOME.
From Mrs r. E. L., Olneu.)
To Mrs. M. H. D., Washington. In
planning the heating for your house
1 suggest you investigate the type
that heats the floors. With little
children at floor level 1t is hard,
with other heating systems, not to
have to overhead, an unhealthy con-
dition for the whole family. There
are innumerable other hints, such
as plenty of electric outlets, lighted,
roomy closets, an extra shower, etc.
But if you want some really worth
while suggestions on planning your
home and your children's home for
now and for the future, by all means
read Houses for Family Living"

ton, Inc, 10 E. Fortieth street, New
