IPORTANCE OF YOUR FACE
Your Disposition Is Sunny, Kind
and Gracious Your Countenance
Will Beam With Goodness.
If you stop to think about this for
L moment, you see what a tremen-
dously important thing it is. Just as
irely as you have a face, the story
If your life will be written on that
Ice. If you are mean and crabbed
Ind disagreeable, your face will set-
lie into a disagreeable expression,
tnd everybody will avoid you. If
|our disposition is sunny and kind
id gracious, your face will beam
i'ith goodness, and everybody will
liow at a glance that you are lov-
ble, writes Lewus Edwin Theiss in St.
Nicholas. And the older you grow the
\ore distinctly your face will tell
ie story.
When you go out into the world to
irn your living, the first thing that
leople will ask is this: What kind
pf a boy is he? Or, what kind of a
|irl is she? Under our present in-
lstrial system the employer has to
bach young persons their trade after
le hires them. So he is more inter-
ested in the applicant’s character than
his present ability. And the charac-
br he'will learn from the .face.
It is just as the director of the em-
ployment bureau of a great depart-
lent store said to me: “We base
ir choice largely on the applicant’s
ioks. To be sure, the faces of boys
Ind girls are not deeply marked.
Ilany applicants have only begun to
jutline on the blank pages of their
reeks the picture that will eventual-
ly appear there. But even a sketch
plls much. We know that almost in-
imitably a child will continue the fa-
il development it has begun. The
[ullen, shiftless, don’t care kind of
face we reject, but if the face
Is full of courage, hope, truth,
pod-cheer and kindliness, we pick
ie child quick. That is the sort we
Tre after.” If, then, our faces have
|o much to do with our future suc-
cess, isn’t it worth while to try to
lake them attractive by being attrac-
live ourselves?

CRADLE FOR A DOLL FAMILY
One Can Be Made From Cardboard by
Following Directions Given—Very
Pleasing When Finished.
Has your family of dolls a baby doll
in it, and would you like to have a
cradle in which the baby doll can
sleep? If so, you can make one after
the design here shown. It is really
quite simple to make and is very
pleasing when made. Of course, since
it is to be made from cardboard, ..you
could not put a very fat or a very
heavy baby doll to sleep in it, for it
might break down.
First, draw your pattern on card-
board or pasteboard as much larger as
: ■* I

you think it ought to be. Then cut
around the outlines and on the four
heavy lines according to the diagram
given. Then-fold on the dotted lines,'
turn over the sections marked with a
cross and paste them to the cradle
ends.
Rock-a-bye baby! You have now a
bed for a tiny baby and you can put
in a pillow and a tiny coverlet if you
like.
LOVE IS WONDERFUL WORD
Has Meant Many Things Before and
Since the Coming of Christ—
Belongs to New Testament.
The word “love1’ has been a favor-
ite one for the poets and story tellers
of all ages, but the New Testament
word for love is unique. It stands for
an idea, an experience, a possession
that did not exist before 'Jesus came.
In fact, the word itself, the very let-
ters of it, wras almost new when the
New Testament authors were writing,
the Christian Herald observes.
It was a word that the editors of
the septuagint version of the Bible
had used when they made their trans-
lation of the Old Testament from He-
brew into Greek'about two hundred
years before the birth of Christ. But
the word is not found in classical
Greek. It seems to be a word that
belongs particularly to the Bible, and,
specially, to the New Testament.
What did Paul mean by this won-
derful word love? It seems extreme-
ly unfortunate that the translation of
the King James version called it char-
ity, for that English word has come to
mean just wh£it Paul distinctly says
he did not. “Though I bestow all
my goods to feed the poor”—that is
charity, as the word is now used in
English, and Paul was talking about
something much higher than that.
Ingenious.
“No, Willie, dear,” said mamma, “no
more cakes tonight. Don’t you know
you cannot sleep on a full stomach?”
“Well,” replied Willie, “I can sleep
on my back.”—Good Housekeeping.

Ideal Small Cottage Houses May
Be Built for Comparatively
Small Sum. »
MEAN COMFORT AND HEALTH
Getting Away From Cramped and
Badly Ventilated Quarters Is
Worth Much More Than the
Money Expended In Build-
ing Homes.
By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, 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. Radforu, No. 1827 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, 111., and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
The building of small cottage
houses has lately assumed the dignity
of an art. Adjacent to large cities are
suburbs that may be reached by sur-
face trolley roads; and in the vicinity
of all the larger cities are outlying
residence sections where steam roads
make a specialty of carrying city
workers back and forth at very low
fares.
Usually the price of suburban lots
range from $400 to $1,500, including
sidewalk and sewer. There are lots
for more money, and there are lots
for less money than these figures
stipulate; but they are not in active
chimney with a fireplace in the living
room. There is a very neat open
stair going up out of the living room
to the second floor, which is laid out
to accommodate a family of two to
four persons. This little two-story
cottage is very attractive in appear-
ance. both outside and inside, as it
comprises some of the most valuable
architectural effects, such as usually
are intended to embellish larger and
more pretentious houses. The projec-
tion from the dining room adds a great
deal to the appearance, whether it is
used for a seat or for a built-in side-
board. It is useful and looks well in
either capacity. This little cottage is
supposed to have a good cellar and a

hot-air furnace for heating. It is so
small that the grate in the living room
and the range in the kitchen will keep
it comfortable, except during the
colder winter months, so that the coal
bill will not be very heavy.
The living room is a fine, big, at-
tractive room. It is worth very care-
ful attention at the stairway end.
There are possibilities of building a
comfortable cozy nook under the turn
demand. You can’t get something tor
nothing; and when the price is exor^
bitant, sales are few. Prices vary a
great deal in different parts of the
country. There are suburbs where
$1,000 lots have all the civic improve-
ments, including gas and pavement;
while in other places you are lucky if
you get a good-sized lot having sewer
connection with the privilege of build-
ing your own roadways and sidewalks.
But for those wrho are tired of living
in cramped, badly ventilated quarters
in the city, there is suburbah relief if
they are willing to put up with a few
minor inconveniences in exchange for
the greater comforts of pure air,
bright sunshine, a lovely garden with
beautiful flowers, and—which is better

of the stair, with a hood over it which
will add greatly to its appearance as
well as its comfort. A seat placed by
the side of an open stair is drafty
unless protected in some way. You
don’t want a door to shut off the
draft, because you wouldn’t like the
looks of it, and because one great
value of an open stair is the service it
renders in the way of ventilation.
There is always a current of air go-
ing up or down. The air goes up
when the air in the living room is
warmer than the air upstairs, and this
may be taken advantage of to keep
the air in the small house pure and
wholesome.

than all the rest—an opportunity to
secure perfect health.
The little cottage represented was
designed especially for newly married
people who wish to commence life un-
der the best social conditions open to
them on a salary such as the ordinary j
clerk or office man receives. A lit-
tle house like this may be built for
such a small amount of money that
any young man could build it and pay
for It in a few years at about the same
cost as rent. In the meantime he
could improve the property by plant-
ing the lot to choice flowers and the
best kinds of fruits, and probably sell
it to advantage if he wants to do so.
The house is 26 feet in width by 30
eet 6 inches in length, and has a largo
The hotels in Buenos Aires are
fairly good and very expensive. One
of the cheapest rooms I saw in the
Plaza hotel was seven dollars a day
European style. There are good Span-
ish hotels with rooms from two dollars
a day upward. The Plaza is, perhaps,
the most cosmopolitan of all the hostel-
ries of the city. The meals are a little
higher than in the big hotels of New
York city. But there are numerous
small restaurants where good refresh-
ments may be had at reasonable
prices. As an example of the charges
in the big hotels of Buenos Aires, I
may quote a story told me by an Ar-
gentine official. He said that some
years ago a commission of European
ambassadors was entertained by the
Argentine government at the Bristol
hotel on the Avenida de Mayo, and
that the bill for soap and perfumery
was $15,000 a week. Nobody seemed
to complain, and apparently every-
body was satisfied. Luxuries seem to
be necessities to the Argentines, for I
was told that the tariff on champagne
is only 2 per cent, while that on a
plow is 50 per centc^National Maga-

The Trouser-Like Fit.
“The women are appropriating our
privileges,” said Plobson, sourly. "I
hope they’ll find attached some of our
troubles.”
“They will,” Jimson assured him,,

her skirt was getting baggy at thei
knees.”—Puck.

BODY AS A MACHINE.
How will total abstinence most ef-
fectively appeal to the boy In hia
teens? asks many a mother and many
a teacher. The angle of vision most
likely to interest him In that which,
emphasizes bodily efficiency. Hear
what that experienced educator, Hon.
Edward Hyatt, superintendent of pub-
lic instruction for the state of Cali-
fornia, has to say about it:
“Many a boy, if he could look lipon.'
his body as a machine, could stand
outside himself as it were and look
at himself with the same eyes with
which he regards his bicycle, would
be made sensible of the danger, use-
lessness and utter folly of trifling
with a habit that has over-thrown mil-
lions of strong ones who thought it
a joke until it was too late to see that
death hid behind the mask.
“This is an age of mechanical In-
vention. It is an age of comprehen-
sion, an intelligent understanding of
mechanism, even by the very young.
The boys of our year are thinking in
constructive terms, of the relation of
parts to other parts, of loss by fric-
tion, chemical waste, of chemical
agents that preserve a machine and
other chemical agents that ruin it.
It is ours to shift this idea until thO'
boy applies it to his own bod-given'
body—than which there is no more
perfect machine in all the world.”
GREAT PUBLIC HEALTH MENACE.
The licensing of the saloon for the
drinking of crime-producing poison is
a far greater public health menace and
quite as logical as woul^d be the sale
and general distribution of typhoid
and tuberculosis germs.—Dr. De Witt
G. Wilcox, of the Boston University,
School of Medicine

DIFFERENCE IT WOULD MAKE.
The Chicago Live Stock World
quotes Mr. Charles F. Scott, ex-con-
gressman of Kansas, as to some of the
results if the annual liquor bill—near-
ly $30 per capita—were no more than,
it is in Kansas—$1.25 per capita. Mr.
Scott says:
“If the national liquor bill could be
reduced to Kansas proportions, with
the corresponding reduction in murder
and assault and theft and the long cata-
logue of crime that follows in the trail
of drink, if thq loss in efficiency
through the use of alcohol could be
stopped, if the heartache and heart-
break, the wreck of lives of women
and children could be saved—if all
that could be done the minimum wage
wouldn’t matter, for women wouldn't
have to work, and the railroad rate
wouldn’t matter, and there would be
enough money to pay them, and the
trusts wouldn’t matter, for we would
be so happy we wouldn’t worry about
them, and the currency wouldn’t mat-
ter, for prosperity would be so gen-
eral that we could thrive under any
currency law.”
A PATRIOTIC APPEAL.
An appeal urging that all men nowi
serving in the British army and navy*
abstain from the use of intoxicating!
drinks, at least while the war lasts,,
pointed out that alcohol
1. Reduces the power to see slg^
nals.
2. Confuses prompt judgment.
3. Spoils accurate shooting.
4. Hastens fatigue.
5. Lessens resistance to disease!
and exposure.
6. Increases shock from wounds.
This appeal was signed by the fol-i
lowing eminent physicians: Sir Thorn-’
as Barlow (the king’s physician), Sirj
Frederick Treves, Surgeon Generalj
Evatt, Sir Victor Horsley, and Prof.
Sims Woodhead. It was published byj
the newspapers and issued as a posted
in red and blue ink.
CAUSE OF CHILD LABOR.
There will be general agreement
with the statement made by Mr. Dan-
iel A. Poling, the noted Christian En-
deavor lecturer, that the cause for
child labor abuses is directly traceable
to the liquor traffic.
“Drink,” he says, “has impaired or
cut off entirely the earning power of
the natural provider; the father has
lost his job because of drink. But the
fact that the natural provider has lost
his job does not at all indicate that,
his children have lost their appetites.
Child laborers are working to feed
hungry stomachs, to clothe naked;
bodies.”
EFFICIENCY.
German army officers find that otrti
of 30 shots fired, men averaged 23j
hits on abstaining days, three hits
on drinking days. And the amount
taken was less than that contained
In a quart of 4 per cent beer. These
and similar experiments have made
the kaiser a total abstainer, and it
is why he is urging the army to follow
his example.
