Mrs. Mallahan caught a severe cold last winter, and like many others, failed to recognize the dangerous possibil ities until it had settled in her kid neys, and left her with very severe bearing down pains and almost con stant back-ache. It almost carried her off. Mrs. Mallahan tells the story this way:— "I caught a cold last winter, which I neglected until it settled in my kid neys, causing severe bearing down pains and almost constant back-ache. My health had previously been so g#od, that I paid little attention to these symptoms, until the disease had gone so far, that my doctor en tertained but a alight hope of my recovery. ratlEABANEi VUWZINESS.

The slightest imperfection is ar subject of everyday criticiamand constant annoyance to those living in the houA. The confuaion and an noyance arevery great to him who is for the first time becoming a home builder. In cctQatatttly advitfing him and guiding him throi%h this'mass of detail and confusion is displayed the value of the architects aervicea. A permanent home ahould be built with care and planned,with special ref erence to the wants and necessities of the family it should be neat and at tractive and in harmony with the lives to be spent under its roof. A house or ^topping place may he all external show, with a large part of the conven iences omitted internally, thereby cheapening the cost. Ultimately such a house becomes a half-way house be tween home and nowhere. Let us have permanent homes, built in accordance with the times and of modern style, homes where the many virtues may grow strong and flourish, and which our children will remember in after years with pride. Rufesell Sturgis, in tracing the growth and relative values of architecture, holds that 'the best art follows nature closest. For large structures, employing heavy masses, stone was the most suitable. The nat ural use of wood was in work employ ing straight timber, carved or orna mented, but following the principle of a tree trunk. Where the effect of twisting or bending was to be desired, metal was the natural material to em ploy, because susceptible of these treatments. With those about to build the first thought should be, in respect to the dwelling, that it should be promotive of and not injurious to the health, whereas the first- thought seems to be that it shall be warm and present a rtrcn KiT.Crtcn' Pitiinrrroon /s Twrrwruwr A IT 10 FT J*, ft 'rwfcrt jjTTl/lfi rutin' TIAILC WAlC PLANS OF FIRST AND SECOND FLOORS. nice appearance. It is essential to health that the house be in every way in a good sanitary condition, since the home is where everybody spends the greater part of his or her life. The admission of an abundance of fresh, pure air and sunlight is the first es sential for consideration in the erec tion of a dwelling. Use abundance of window glass to let in the sunlight, Light is a great destroyer of disease germs and a direct promoter of health. There is great satisfaction imperfectly planned dwellings, where Everything ia properly arranged and contributes to the safety and convenience of the inmates.

Germany has ad vanced with great strides for the last 90 yearaKand. has now arrived at the atage whcq.it demands rocking-chairs, which America is selling willingly to the eraphfe. H. W.

The diningrroom has a nice porch to the right, and to the rear are the kitch en and pantry, with passage from kitch* en to dining-room through the pantry, thus preventing the kitchen odora from entering the dining-room. The kitchen ia provided with a brick set range. The pantry is well fitted with cupboards and shelves, pastry bins, etc., and from here is the entrance to the cellar. The second story of the house tells, reasonably well, its own story. On either side and well con* nected with the large hall are five good bedrooms. At the rear end of the hall is a large bathroom, well fitted with bathtub, bowl and water closet. Each bedroom has one or more closets and is well lighted and ventilated. If it were so desired^three good rooms could be provided in the third story, well lighted and ventilated.

The dimensions of the house are 35%x45 feet, not including the projection of the side porch and steps. The height of ceilings are: Cellar, seven feet first story, ten feet second-story, nine feet. The house is arranged to be heated by furnace. It would cost, erected in first-class man* ner, in most parts of the country, from $3,000 to $3,500, depending on locality and finish employed, E. A.

In spinal meningitis and ty phoid it may be necessary to apply heat to the spinal column and neck of the patient to produce muscular relaxation, while the general temper ature is reduced by the application of the cooling apparatus to cfcher parts of the body. The mattress of the-bed is adapted to be- inflated with hot water or air, and in order to main tain the water at the required tem perature the mattress is connected with the water heater in proximity to the bed by means of a pipe.

FEEDING THE BABY. All Milk Glrea to Little CHIldrea Should Be Sterilised, and Sea* aoaed Juat a- Little Bit. There has been a great change for the better in the feeding of little children in the last score of years. Far more children who., are deprived of their mothers' milk thrive on ar tificial feeding than formerly. This is chiefly due to the process of sterili zation. All milk, zed to infants or little children who live largely on mflk^shouldsterilized. This-should be done to destroy impurities which the milk may receive from contact with the air and from vessels which hold' it, as well as to destroy germs of typhoid fever, tuberculosis or other diseases which may be received from the cow. The importance of sterilization, therefore, cannot be in sisted upon too. strongly. Apparatus is sold for this purpose, so that it may be easily accomplished in any kitchen with little trouble. Formerly the milk of' one cow was insisted upon. Some authorities object to this, preferring a child should be fed from a mixture of the. milk of different cows. There is more salt and sugar in hu man -milk than in cow's milk. A very little loaf sugar and a little salt should be added to milk given to an infant. A safe rule for feeding little infants is to boil a teaspoonftil of powdered barley and a little salt in a gill of water for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer which is kept for the'purpose and sterilized every time it is used. Add to this mixture as much cow's milk and a little sugar. This preparation can be taken from a bottle. Some times oatmeal must be substituted for barley. Use oatmeal in place of barley if the child's bowels are not as open as they should be For a very young Child physicians generally ree ommend cow's milk, weakened only with Water. If it sours on the stom ach, as it may, make a very thin, transparent mucilage of the best gum arabic and milk, sweetened a lid fla vored with a little salt, and give the child a little. It is a simple, harmless medicine.—N. Y. Weekly. CLOCK TOLD THE SECRET. It Exposed mm Ohio Eavesdropplag Farmer and Got Him Into Tromble. Because he listened while his neigh' bors talked over the telephone, W.il liam Gehrung, a farmer, living near Dresden, O,, has been fined by the said neighbors $25. Some time ago a number of the ag riculturists organised, a telephone company. Each man built one mile of line, which he keeps in regular re pair. An.exchange ia maintained at Frazersburg, each farmer contribut ing to the salary ol the operator. When the telephones were put in the party line principle'was employed. Half a dozen 'phones are on each line, and' when one is called all ring. An agreement was made that any sub scriber found guilty of listening would be fined $25. By and by friction developed.

Every day we receive letters from women like the following. Women who have tried doctors and failed women who have tried Peruna and were cured. Miss Katie Klein, 6125 Bartmer ave nue, St. Louis, Mo., writes: "Peruna has done me more good for catarrh than the best doctors could. I had catarrh so bad, but after taking Peruna it is entirely gone, and feel like a different person." Mlas Anna Preaeott'a Letter. Miss Anna Prescott, in a letter from 216 South Seventh street, Minneap olis, Minn., writes: I am sincerely grateful for the relief I have found from the use of Pe runa. I was completely used up last fall, my appetite had tailed and I felt weak and tired ill the tlme.

"I continued its use for .five weeks, and am glad to say that my "complete restoration to health was a happy surprise to myself as well as to my friends.*'—Anna Prescott. A constant drain of nervous vitality depleting the* whole nervous system causes the mucous membrane surfaces to suffer accordingly.
