PLAN BEAUTY IN BUILDING Cottage Seoming to Grow Out of the Ground Can Be Cheap and 2 " Not Ugly. Soon the economical small dwelling 18 ‘coming” in its thousands, writes Lieut. Gordon Allen, R. B., author of “The Cheap Cottage and Small House,” in the London Matl. Cost has always been an essential consideration in the building of cot tages. Arnd some of 'the very qualities making for cheapness tend also toward a pleasing appearancg, Repose and genuine homeliness, the right use. of ,materials, the application of thought and good . taste to produce graceful proportion and picturesque balance— those are some of the elements help- ing to harmonize & cottage home with its environment without ‘adding any- thing to the money expenditare. Let us examine our historical cotr tages and try to discover by analysis whence comes their beauty. We shall - z#ind that the old bullders made direct “\7 for comfort and convenlence—as they then regarded 1it—without troubling overmuch about ornament. And by - force of circurfistances they were com- pelled to unse only the bullding ma- terials at hand. : What an object lesson for.us today! Local materials are still cheaper than those from a distance. They al- 80 “weather” better, besides looking more. suitable. Slates, for instance, are jarring and out of keeping in clay districts, And where stone is avail- able, bright red bricks offend nature a8 well as the neighbors. Forty per cent of the cost of & house {8 spent on walling. ~A legitimste means of saving in this direction is to reduce the height of buildings. This can be done without taking away from the floor area, which is so important. Moreover, lofty rooms are not neces- sarily healthler than low rooms, for “¢$ail windows and other kinds of 'venr tilation can easily be provided. And the lower a cottage is and the more spreading its lines, the more pics turesque will it be. > T0, FIGHT MOLES AND MICE Effective Protection Must Be Given Trees if One Would Have Them Live and Flourish.

The sples carried counterfeit bread tickets, printed in Washington. Working with confederites among corruptible food administration offi- clals in Dresden, Munlch, Frankfort, Berlin, Prague and Vienna, the Ameri- cans succeeded in distributing more than 1,000,000 bread tickets.

(By Mail)— English women are promised stand- ard costumes, ccats and skirts by Baster. But they're not a bit ea- thusiastic about it. During four years of war patrios continually impressed upon the fair sex what a huge economy could he ~ccomplished if only they would standardize their wardrobes. The persuasion fell on deaf ears. Managers of West End stores are convinced that the standard clothe || will find no s2le. From their ex- perience they claim that woman at heart is an individualist and .. never be content to let another know how much she has paid for a ga’- ment. In view of women’s determined stand an experiment is being made to pl~ce on the market standardized cloths at a standardized price and profit, leaving the design to the man- ufacturers who cater to women's in- dividual tastes. e Now's a good time to try the All-American beverage— |BRITAIN MAY ASK AID Extensively used inplace of coffee because of its fine flavor; general economy & health value.

(By Mail.)— Development of vast separate squad- rons by British colonies is being dis- cussed in naval circles here Each of the big dominions, Indis, Australia and Canada would be urged to augment greatly their squardrons, which would become for- midable units of the grand fleet in wartime. The proposal is recelving much en- couragement from shippers, who pre- dict a tremendously. increased trade with .the far eastern territories. 1.e flag they argue, should follow trade. Without {ts potential protection trade must be restricted, it is urged. ‘Point is given to the colonial navies proposal by the advincement of 8. P. Sinha, a native Indian, to a ([peerage and a place in the govern- ment as undersecrstary of the In- dian office. This is the first time a native Indian has been given a seat in the government of the u...ed Kingdom. The use of Indian troops who ‘ought shoulder to shoulder with Britons in the war is regarded as an- ther indication the proposal is re- “elving attention. Native Indians it s believed, within a few years will be serving on many ships of the navy. Hbt Water for Sick Headaches !

Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and » ' Good Feelings From Millions FoE One of the worst features of acid- stomach fs that very often it literally starves its victims in the midst of ' v, And the strange thin aboul it is that the ‘;:eople w'th acid- stomachs seldom know what their trouble really is. No matter how good or wholesome the food may be, or how much they cat, they do not gain in strength. This is eclearly explained by the fact that an acid-stomach cannot yroperly digest food. Instead of healthy, normal digestion, the excess acid causes the food to sonr and fer- ment. Then when this mass of sour, icrmented food, charged with excess acid, passeginto the intestines, it be- comes the breeding place for all kinds of germs and toxie poisons, which in turn are absorbed into the blood and in this way distributed throughout: the cntire body. And that is exactly why it is that so many thousands of people cat and eat and kcep on eating and yet are literally starving in the midst of plenty. Their acid-stomachs make it absolutely impossible for them to get the ful'measure of nour- ishment out of tl'eir food. And it doesn’t take long for thi {mor nour- ishment to show its ill effects in a vsoakened, emaciated body. Youmaysay: ‘“My stomach doesn't hurt me.”” That may be true because many victims of acid-stomach do not tually suffer stornach pains. Then 2in, there are millions who do guffer kinds of aches and pains—head- aches, rhoumatic twingos, gout, lum- bago, pains around the heart and in the chest—who ncver dream that an Starving in the Midst of Plent ¢ trouble. acid-stomach is the regl cause of the .
