iWRS. WILLIE MOORE, of Center, Okla,

jyears. When I decided to try STELLA-
VlTAE I had little faith in it, as I had been
'humbugged for 10 years, but I can truth-
jfally say that I have found more relief in
►STELLA-VITAE than in all the other
■remedies I have ever taken, and can hignly
Iswcommend It.”
"We are so confident that STELLA-VITAE

antee—YOUR MONEY BACK for the first

VITAE.

$5.00 and continue treatment until you

First to Use Sewing Machine.
“There, you are the first woman in
'this world who ever took a stitch on
& sewing machine,” Howe said to
Miss Kilbourn when at his invitation
she tried the machine. Miss Elizabeth
'Kilbourn, now over eighty years old,
iwas then a teacher in a private school
Ijn New Hartford, and was interested
Un Elias Howe's inventive work. She
lia at present ill in a Connecticut hos-
pital. Elias Howe was very poor in
ithose days and sharpened knives and
tdid odd jobs for a living in his base-
ment shop. When he had perfected his
«ewing machine he went to Bridge-
iport, and shortly afterward Wheeler
and Wilson moved there from Water-
town, Conn., and the three combined,
and Howe died rich.

WlflllAM A.KADFOM) EDITOR
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. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, 111., and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
Can you Imagine yourself “far from
the madding crowd,” living In a bun-
galow like this, with never a care or
a thought except the comfortable ex-
ertion of breathing the pure air from
the fields or the woods? To suggest
this to the tired city dweller who is
caged in a fiat may seem cruel, yet
even he or she hopes some time to
live amid such surroundings. A bun-
galow like this fills the day dreams
of thousands of people who are able to
keep up their ambition by the hope
of some time being far away from the
scenes of confusion and bustle that
tax the nerves and the strength.
Now, to come down out of the clouds
to more practical things. The plan of
this bungalow, you will observe, is
simplicity itself. There is more porch
than house. And while there are only
three rooms, we shall see how roomy
the structure can be made. The porch
extends all around the house, with
steps on each of the four sides. This
porch is 5 feet 3 inches wide. At a
very small expense, the open spaces
between the pillars of the porch can
be screened in, and screen doors pro-
vided at the entrances. Divisions or
partitions of tapestry can thus divide
are maintained In many parts of the
country for the treatment of this dis-
ease by the fresh-air method. It is
needless to say that no member of a
family living in a bungalow like this
will ever need treatment for that
dread disease. The open window at
night is the greatest safeguard against
disease. It is in the winter when the
windows are closed, shutting out the
pure air, that most ailments are con-
tracted.
The bungalow displayed here can
be built for a nominal sum, say some-
where around $1,000 to $1,200, under
favorable conditions of the market
for materials and labor. The interior
of the house, for instance, where most
of the money in building is usually
spent, can .be simplicity itself. The
ceilings can be beamed, and the sides
of the walls finished with panels or
with wainscoting and varnished or
stained.
As for the exterior, the design is ad-
mirably adapted to being finished with
cement stucco. On the sheathing, tar
paper should be tacked; and over this,
furring strips nailed. Then either
expanded metal or wooden lath can
be used. Two coats will be required.
The first or scratch coat may be a
mixture of lime or cement mortar con-
taining plenty of hair, and should be
pressed well through so as to give a
good bond where wood lath is used
or to completely embed the metal
where metal lath is employed. Before
this coat is dry, it should be scratched
to make a holding surface for the ce-
ment mortar that is to be^ the finish
No Doubt He Was Just as Badly Rat-
tled as Jdhn Henry Some Two
Score Years Ago.
John Henry was keeping company
With Myrtle Marie, and when the fa-
ther of the latter returned from the
office one evening he was timidly ap-
proached by his pretty daughter.
“Papa,” said the fair one, “did John
Henry call on you this morning?”
"Yes,” answered the paternal one,
“but I couldn’t make out much of what
he said.”
“Couldn’t make out what he said!”
returned Myrtle Marie, wonderingly.
“What do you mean?”
"As near as I could understand,” ex-
plained papa, “he said he wanted to
marry me; that you had enough money
to support him, and that we had al-
ways loved each other, so I told him
to go home and write it out in plain
English.”

Auto-Intoxication
Intoxication is
“poisoning, or
the state of being poisoned, from toxic, substances produced within the
body.” This is a condition due to the stomach, bowels, kidneys, liver, or
pores of the body failing to throw off the poisons. More than 50 % of adults
are suffering from this trouble. This is probably why you are suffering from
nervousness, headaches, loss of appetite, lack of ambition, and many other
symptoms produced by Auto-Intoxication. Your whole system needs stirring up.

is a compromise between the out-
doors and the Indoors. The side of
the porch adjacent to the kitchen, for
instance, can be utilized as an out-

maining porch space is not needed for
bedrooms, it can be set aside for other
purposes. The building itself is 24

make it 34 feet 3 inches square. The

Napoleon’s Vain Effort.
One hundred years ago Napoleon
found himself face to face with the
allied army under Prince Swartzen-
berg. The encounter took place be-
tween the towns of Troyes and Arcis.
The meeting was something of a sur-
prise to the French, for they had not
expected to come up with the enemy
so soon. Neither were they prepared
to find the foe so numerically strong.
The first charge of the Russian cav-
alry threatened Napoleon’s person,
and a Polish battalion had scarcely
time to form In sqfiare for his protec-
tion. A few minutes afterward a
shell fell at his feet and severely
wounded his horse. The French sol-
diers, though only one against three,
fought everywhere with prodigious
valor, but all their efforts could only
succeed In rendering the result doubt-
ful. The action checked only momen-
tarily the onward march of the in-
vaders.
Hottest and Oryest Place.
“Death Valley,” California, sur-
passes for combined -heat and aridity
any meteorological stations on earth
where regular observations are taken,
although for extremes of heat it is ex-
ceeded by places in the Colorado des-
ert. The minimum daily temperature
in summer, says the new Encyclopedia
Britannlca, is rarely below 70 Fahr.,
and often above 90 Fahr. (in the
shade), while the maximum may for
days In succession be as high as 120
Fahr. A record of six months showed
an average daily relative humidity of
30.6 in the morning and 15.6 in the eve-
ning, and the humidity sometimes falls
to 5. Yet the surrounding country is
not devoid of-vegetation. The hills are
very fertile when irrigated, and the
wet season develops a variety of peren-
nial herbs, and annuals.
Napoleon’s Last Hope Crushed.
One hundred years ago Napoleon,
surrounded by a few of his marshals
who still remained faithful, was in bit-
ter meditation at Fontainebleau. Ap-
parently he realized for the first time
that defection and opposition were
getting too strong for him. When he
learned that the allies had captured
Paris he gave way to the whole fury of
his Corsican temperament. But his
indomitable spirit was not yet crushed.
Despite the discouraging outlook he
nourished a faint hope that he might
recapture the city and regain his
throne. To gain time to work out his
plans he sent two of his marshals with
an offer to-abdicate in favor of his
fifinT the ymin-g king of Rome. . This
offer was rejected without ceremony
by the allied sovereigns, who had al-
ready agreed upon the restoration of
the Bourbons.
MOTHER GOMES TO
DAUGHTERS RESCUE
When, Daughter Thought, Every
Avenue of Escape Closed,
Mother Came to Rescue.
Louisville, Ala.—In referring to her
recent troubles, Mrs. Bessie E. Bruce,
of this town, says': “After childbirth,
I suffered greatly with wasting, and
various womanly troubles, and wras in
bed for six weeks. Half the time, I
could not move, only when I was
turned over by some one. Oh! how 1
suffered, no one knows.
I was told that I would have to go
through an operation, but at the time
of the operation, I was too weak to
undergo it, and I decided there was no
chance for me.
As a last resort, my mother advised
me to try Cardul, the woman’s tonic,
and my husband bought me a bottle.
I could tell from the first that it was
doing me good, and by the time I had
taken the first bottle, I could stand on
my feet. I got another bottle, and
before I had taken it up, I was just
about well. The pains all stopped,
and In a short while I was able to do
my work.
I know that Cardul saved my life,
and I would not be without it in the
house. I almost waited too long, and
I advise all suffering women not to
wait, but to begin taking Cardui at
once.”

Threw the Worthless Type Away.
This story is told by the Kansas
Editor: Mr. Brown, who looks after
the “back office,” saw a new student,
who had been put to work learning
the case, toss a type out the window.
Watching him and seeing the student
repeat the performance, Mr. Brown
walked over and said:
“See here, what are you doing toss-
ing type out the window?”
“Oh, that’s all right,” responded the
cub. “They have no letters on ’em.”

TORTURING TWINGES
Much so-called rheumatism is caused
by weakened kidneys. When the kid-
neys fail to clear the blood of uric acid,
the acid forms into crystals like bits
of broken glass in the muscles, joints
and on the nerve casings. Torturing
pains dart through the affected gart
whenever it is moved. By curing the
kidneys, Doan’s Kidney Pills have
eased thousands of rheumatic cases,
lumbago, sciatica, gravel, neuralgia
and urinary disorders.
