Catarrh of Throat jsSfi

Miss Amalie Ruzicka, 1449 South 16th St., Omaha, Nebraska, writes: “I have suffered with catarrh of the throat. I caught cold and it settled in my throat, and I coughed badly and was very weak. I could not sleep and had no appetite. I had two doctors, and had taken so many different medicines and found no help. I thought I will have to give up; but at last my mother read about Peruna, so I thought of trying that great medicine Peruna. I got a bottle of it and in about four days I almost stopped coughing, and after a while I surely found relief, and from that time we are not without Peruna in our home.”

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

HERE'S AN ELEGANT STUCCO DWELLING

Importance of Making Home Attractive to Growing Children Explained. THE INFLUENCE OF BEAUTY Design Described in This Article Meets Needs of Large Family— Enough Ornamentation to Be Distinctive. 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. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. There are certain important features which must be considered in designing a home for a large family. One of the most Important of these is the arrangement of the sleeping quarters. The structural requirements is that a large number of bedrooms, all well lighted and well ventilated, be included in proper position relative to the bath. The boys and the girls of the family must be definitely segregated and it is ideal if the division is such that two bathrooms carl be provided, one for the girls and one for the boys. This arrangement is particularly appreciated (hiring the hurried activities just before breakfast. There is nothing more impressive or inspiring than a large family brought up so that every member has. a love of home. Parents are at a disadvantage if the home does not offer the advantages which will inspire this quality in the children. The girls of the family are, generally speaking, easier

to satisfy than the boys. If the house Is arranged so that its furnishings and finish will hold a high standard constantly before the children, they will grow up to adopt this as their standard in building up their own homes. The boys, during their growing years, seldom think very much about the comforts of a home, but if they are provided with comfortable surroundings the effect will be strongly felt upon their first experience away from home. The point is well Illustrated by the boy who has finished his preliminary education under the parental roof and has, for the first time in his life, ventured forth alone to acquire the specialized training which will fit him for an active and useful life. He is at an advantage if it is necessary for him to earn a part or all of his way during the time he is obtaining his training. In the four or six years which he spends, living as economically as he knows how, there will be plenty of time for him to realize the comforts which he has enjoyed at home, and one of the deep-rooted

objects in life which he will form during this period will be a desire to establish a home up to the standard of his childhood. Every boy should be encouraged to take up a hobby early in life. The arrangement of the home has a definite relation to the establishment of his interest in this hobby. If he takes up the study of a certain class of books, he must have a place to keep these books, where it is possible for him to cultivate habits of orderliness. He must have a table or desk where he may study without straining his eyes. Where there is a boy in the family who is interested in reading, a small den is a most excellent feature to incorporate into the design of the house. If the boy has a mechanical turn of mind, he should be provided with a work bench and the equipment and tools which are needed for the satisfaction of his desires. A small, wellllighted corner of the basement will

sometimes meet his needs, or, if his Interest is in electricity or some work which does not involve excessive noise or vibration, an attic dormer is just the place for his workshop. The illustration shows an elegant residence design of cement stucco construction, 42 feet by 36 feet 6 inches in size, exclusive of the porch and sunparlor. This house is very carefully designed for a large family, and all of the points which are mentioned above have been considered in its arrangement. The design follows the square type of house, and just enough ornamentation has been included to produce a distinctive appearance. The hip roof is used, broken up with dormers, which light the attic. The windows are symmetrically placed in groups, for the most part. The corners of the building are buttressed and the window trim is designed to conform

Second Floor Plan.

With the effect thus obtained. Each group of windows has a weather shield above it, which is also very effective from the standpoint of appearance. A distinctive chimney cap of stone and face brick is used. One of the attrachve features of the exterior is the pergola entran e. There is math that is of interest in the arrangement of the house. The large reception hall, with the convenient open stairway, is finished with simple elegance. The living room is of generous size and is finished up to a high standard. The modern large house is hardly complete without a sun-parlor. Following the idea still further, the dining room is supplemented with a large breakfast porch, these ropms being connected with a

wide opening. A set of folding doors, full-glazed, is placed in this opening, so that an abundance of light is admitted into the dining room from the breakfast porch. A beautiful buffet is one of the chief attractions of the dining room. This buffet is built Into a narrow bay in the exterior wall of th’e room. Two china eases with adjustable shelves form the upper part of the buffet. These cases tlank a group of three small plate-glass windows in the exterior wall. A small window is placed in the main wall on either side of the buffet. In the corner of the house diagonally opposite the breakfast room is a den which is included for the benefit of the men of the house. This den may be made into a loggia in the summer time by opening all of the casement windows, or it may be closed tightly for warmth in the winter time. There is a great advantage in casement windows for a built-in loggia. They close more tightly than a door and open to expose the entire window area when desired. There is a way of arranging curtains for these windows which permits them to open sideways. They are hung on horizontal wires and are pulled by draw-strings to fold back in narrow’ plaits. The second-floor plan show’s an excellent arrangement of five bedrooms, a sewing room and two bathrooms. The rooms are all light and airy and their communication with the hall insures perfect privacy throughout. Closet space is adequately provided for. A better sjecond-floor arrangement for a large family could hardly be imagined. It conforms fully with the requirements for bringing up such a family, and it offers, in full measure, the qualities of comfort and conventence.

Bobbie Thought He Was Up.

Johnny being onlj’ four years old, was left to take care of his brother, Bob, three years old. Mother being only gone about 15 minutes, Johnny thought he would put brother to sleep and go outdoors to play with the boys. After he had been playing a short time who should come along but Bob, half asleep. Johnny looking in surprise said: “Bob, are you up yet?” Bob* at first did not answer, but looking at himself in amazement said: “I don’t know’, but I think I is up now.”

Nipped in the Bud.

“Why did you start smoking again?” “Because Dobbs asked me if my wife forbid me to, and next I know she’ll be telling her friends she did.”
