REAL ESTATE Wall Space for the Davenport BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE DAVENPORT BEFORE THE BAY WINDOW PROVED SATISFACTORY. When a sofa or davenport does not fit into any of the wall spaces of the room where it is wanted, the placing of it becomes something of a problem. Necessity as well as comfort dictates the presence of cne or the other in many small homes or apartments where the living room has to be requisitioned as bedroom also. Suggestions given to- day have been carefully worked out in regard to the commodious, overstuffed davenport of thoroughly modern in- vention, and the old-time frame sofa of less generous proportions and the artistic contours which recall the fine old cabinet makers' handwork. A leaf may be taken from the book of one artistic homemaker confronted with the problem of placing a grand piano and a Sheraton sofa to the best advantage of each as well as to the scheme of the room. It happened that this one contained a fireplace. With an eve to comfort as well as good effect, she had the piano standing out from a corner to the left of the fireplace, and flanked the fireplace side of it with the beautiful sofa. A cushion upon it took up the color note of a pottery lamp that rested upon the piano, and the glow of it came at the right angle for any one wishing to sit upon the sofa and read. Not too near was it to the hearth to easy, casual and comfortable appea: ance that is the usual result of the right decorative arrangement. An overstuffed davenport in a room with little unbroken wall space may appear to be a rather hopeless proposi- tion. Such it seemed at first to the woman, who decided to try an experi- ment by placing it across the bay win- dow of her living room. Shoved close to the window 1t looked as dreadful as she feared, but pulled out at a little distance from it the cramped effect was relieved. The experiment became suc- cessful with her placing of a slender table between tne back of the daven- port and the window, and putting a lamp thereon. The davenport was not of a height to obscure any of the light from the window, it was at sufficient distance from to be away from draught when in use as a bed, and it held the most attractive position pos- sible in the room. The placing of a sofa or davenport directly in front of a fireplace, when the room contains such a thing, is still done, but not to the extent that it was awhile ago. No longer is it the in- evitable position, even when space per- mits. The right angle position of the sofa is in favor alsp and has the ad- vantage of not obscuring the glow of the fire from others in the room seated endanger the upholstery with flying sparks, or the wood from overmuch heat. The whole arrangement had the elsewhere. (Copyright, 1928.) PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM. BRADY, M. D. Todin, Todine, Todum and I Am Done. We make only dismal progress in the movement to conserve time, space and labor by spelling uch words as iodine, morphine, = strychnine, caffeine and atropine without the final “e.” ar2 very obstinate about this, particu- larly with reference to jodin. In fact th:{ are mean about it—they come back and ask whether this iodin is the same thing as iodine. It is the same thing, only spelled econcmically. Very well. But they're still inclined to be unpleasant about it. They chase a vial of iodin, ordinary tincture of fodin, perhape labeled tincture of io- dine (U. 8. P.) or (B. P.)—these cabal- istic letters mean that the rrepsnuon purports to conform to legal as laid down in the United States Pharmacopoeia or the British Pharma- copoeia, and these are the accepted standards for all medicinal prepara- tions. They carry the purchase home, take off their day clothes, get into their m%:z clothes and then, just on the point of taking the first nip of iodin, discover on the label either the fright- ful word poison or worse yet, a horrible skull and cross-bones. This entails fur- ther correspondence with the crazy ga- Joot who recommended the nip of dodin. I have to tell 'em, in a solemn affidavit, that I know it. poison. What of it? Nearly all medicines are pol if you take a “sufficient dose. Another thing about this fodin busi- mness that probably explains why I am constantly in need of Hoodwink's Sizza- poorwillie is this: Out of the kindness of my heart I sometimes mention that, oh, say a drop of tincture of iodin taken in a glass or more of water once a week is an excellent way to prevent simple goiter in school children or older persons. I'am saying such things with more and more circumspection now- adays, for invariably such an assertion brings a lot of inquiries from afficted persons who wish to have complete di- rections for my treatment of goiter. The only safe course for any one who has, or who even suspects he has, a goiter of any kind is to consult his own physician and follow his physician’s ad- vice about everything. Latin scholars will understand how we call iodin jodum in medical Latin, and how from that we extort the pre- fix fodo—and such words as fodize, fodism. Even with the worst of intentions, jodin is a very unreliable poison. You may stir up plenty of excitement if that is your scheme, but there is little likeli- hood of winning a wooden kimono that way. The antidote for iodin accident- ally swallowed is starch, if given promptly. Once more, though it cost my head, let me assure you that there is nothing safer or more effective than plain tinc- ture of iodin when iodin is required for medicinal use internally. Now I have made it perfectly clear,! WHO REMEMBERS? People 0 | Leaving the Farm Pt Ittt i standards | dairy 8ure, it 1s | & it can be! T hope, that lodin, iodine, iodo this or that, fodid or iodide of this and that, and iodum as we doctors call it, are all’ practically the same so far as in- ternal use is concerned. Externally, as a disinfectant or as a counter irritant, nothing else is quite the same as ordinary tincture of iodin. The noisy city has a charm no rustic landscapes know, and boys and girls desert the farm as soon as they can go. They hate the endless round of chores that farm folk must perform; the grinding labors out of doors, in sunshine and in storm. They hate to groom the stock and make the mules look fine; they hate to rise at 3 o'clock and feed a million swine. They hate to plow long rows of corn throughout the weary day, with nothing but the dinner horn to break the routine gray. They hate the sandburs in their hair, the staine and rancid duds; they hate the change- less bill of fare, salt pork and greasy spuds. They leave the farm, the girls and boys, regardless of dad's tears, and then, amid the city’s noise, they spend the years. And some of them will win renown and wealth and honors high, and be a credit to the town where lie. As they wax old in their upholstered chairs, and warn the youthful rustic skate against the city’s snares. “I often wish,” the man will say, “I'd never left the farm; of course I have some wealth today, but wealth's a false alarm. Far better is the rugged health that comes from hoeing heans, than all my hardly garnered wealth, and all that fortune means.” “Oh, girls,” the aging dame will .cry, “don’t leaye the dear old grange! You let the best in life get by when you make such a change.” An so the voung still gec advice in many a wholesome hunk; yet counsel cuts but little ice in this sad world of bunk.

About Books. ‘Text—"“Oh, that my words were now written! Oh, that they were printed in a book.”—Job, xix.23. Job's wish was fulfilled. His words were printed in a book. It is a book every one ought to read. Besides the answer it gives to the age-old problem of pain and suffering, it contains much practical philosophy and wisdom. As you read it you ge’ acquainted with one of the noblest of characters and with some of the grandest thoughts that ever engaged the mind of man. Apart from all this, there is no finer literature than the Book of Job. If you have not learned to read good books, you have missed one of the great- est opportunities for getting acquainted with the world’s best characters and making companions of them and their thio(;xght.s. Speaking of books, Farrar said: 2 “Who can say ‘I have no com- panions’ Why, if you will, the noblest of all societies will welcome you. Kings will utter to you their best thoughts and saints sit beside you like brothers! Is it nothing that at the turning of a pa~2 you may find the best and greatest men eager to talk to you, orators ready to pour forth for yau their most splen- did periods, poets with their garlands and singing robes about them?” “I had rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading,” said Macaulay. If you can’t have many books, get a few. A half dozen good books is a start. Aa-{o« Tead these your love for reading increase and you will find some way of add to_the number. And then there is the Bible. Make it a part of your reading or you will miss the best of all. (Copyright, 1928.)

The truth is, it was Jerry’s idea and he had done nearly all the work, But he was s0 SPOTTY THE TURTLE HAD SEV- ERAL TIMES CLIMBED UP ON THE ROCF AND HE APPROVED OF .THAT HOUSE. tickled to have Mrs. Muskrat approve of it that he was quite willing she should take to herself all the credit for it. Little Joe Otter had passed along that way and had nodded his approval of the new house. Spotty the Turtle had sev- eral times climbed up on the roof, and he approved of that house. Grandfather Frog swam over and declared that it was_the best house he had seen since he lived in the Smiling Pool. Rattles the Kingfisher said that on his yearly journeys he had a chance to see many Muskrat houses, but this one was be- yond all question the best ever. All this was very flattering and Jerry Muskrat enjoyed it. And then early one evening came Billy Mink. It was a long time since Billy had been around. As a matter of fact, Billy had been taking one of his annual journeys. Billy has the wandering foot. He likes to take long journeys. But he nearly always comes back to where he started from and is content to stay there for a while. When Jerry first saw him Billy was sitting on the Big Rock. Billy saw Jerry at the same instant. “Hello, Jerry Muskrat!” he cried. “Where did that new house spring from! It's a great improvement to the Smiling Pool.” “It didn’t spring from anywhere,” said Mrs. Muskrat, who had joined Jerry just in time to hear Billy. “We built it.” Jerry gave her a funny look, for it was Jerry who had built that house almost wholly. “So we did, my dear,” said he. “So we did.” Billy then plunged off the Big Rock and swam over to Jerry’s house. He climbed up on the roof and made him- self comfortable. “Where have you been?" inquired Jerry politely. “All over,” replied Billy, which really didn't give Jerry much information.
