Design.
INTENDED FOR LARGE FAMILY
Splendid Cellar Is One of Its Chief
Advantages Porch Arrangement

Tho manner of building n wldo roof
glvea tho opportunity of planning sev
eral rooms in tho attic. Tho houso
shown in this design makes good uso
of tho roof spaco that Is ordinarily
given to tho storage of old shoes.
This is a good-Blzed houso for a
largo family. It was designed espe
cially for n town or vlllago whero tho
lots are liberal In slzo. It has a good
looking, prosperous appearance, as
though tho family feels proud to own
such a houso.
It is built with a good cellar for tho
foundation, tho wall of which is put
up just abovp grado line. From tho
cellar wall the construction is of stud
ding in tho ordinary way, except that
tho Joists of tho main floor do not rest
on tho Bill. Tho cellar wall Is four or
five feet In height, according to tho
depth of cellar required, so that tho
Joists aro supported by a ribbon set
into tho studding thrco or four feet
nbovo tho sill. From this studding
ribbon up to tho peak tho houso Is
built In tho usual way.
It is deslrablo to havo a depth of
timber work between tho wall and tho
main floor sufllclcnt to set tho cellar
windows nbovo tho wall. Tho design
of tho front porch and tho front porch
roof Is a llttlo different from tho ordi
nary, but tho offect Ib very pleasing
Tho manner of starting tho porch
roof closo up against tho front of the
dormer gives tho appcaranco of ex
tending the dormer plan out over tho
front .cranda. It follows out tho idea
of relieving what would otherwise bo
an extra wldo roof. Tho front part of
tho veranda roof Is supported by Urn?
berqd porch columns, which are dlf
comes up to tho bottom of tho win
dow. Tho two china closets nt tho
sides extend up oven with tho top of
tho window, bo that tho window 1b
framed and forms a part of tho built-in
cabinet work, tho trim of which all
matches with tho other woodwork both
in tho dining room, parlor and front
hall. '
Tho men folks aro considered as
having somo rights In this Iioubo, by
planning the library at the back end
of tho hall. This library makes a vcryt
cozy sitting room likely to bo used a
good deal, especially by men who car
ry tholr business accounts homo with
them to go over In tho evening.
Tho atalr leading down to the cellar
1b in tho rear and at tho side of tho
pantry, which Is moro convenient In
this house than tho usual way of go
ing down to tho cellar under tho front
stalra. This plan also glvc3 a good
cloak closet In the front hall, a con
venience that Is always appreciated.
Upstairs thero are three good bed
rooms nnd any amount of closet room,
becauso tho different clothes closets

PROTECTIVE SUBSTANCES.
Sir Almroth Wright, tho discoverer
of opsonins, Bpeaklng beforo tho Chel
sea Clinical society of London, assert
ed that, while their origin In tho body
was unknown, "all the protective sub
stances which were involved in the
cure of dlseaso were to bo regarded
as produced by the Internal secre
tions." "It should bo recognized," ho
added, "that chronic or local Infection
was a symptom of defective Internal
secretions and that those trecretlons
could be elaborated In the body when
thero was youth, strength and health
by tho application of tho npproprlato
stimulus given In proper quantities."
Naturally tho mind of thinking man
instinctively turns to tho search for
this "appropriate stimulus." Other
things being equal, it Is quite signifi
cant that the highest degree of im
munity to infection is generally to bo
found among those people most close
ly approximating primitive living con
ditions, and it is among this class that

PROTEIN MATTER.
Every living coll, bo it animal, cge
tablo or bacterial, must feed or cease
to exist. The ono phenomenon nl
ways manifested by living matter and
never by nonliving matter Is metab
olism. MotabollBm consists In a con
stant traffic In energy by means of a
certain persistent intorchango of on
orgy bearing elements by barter
among tho individual cells composing
the living body.
Nitrogen seems to bo tho master
element within tho living molecule,
becauso In all cases tho living organ
Ism is found to consist of ono 0" moro
nitrogen-containing cells. Tho nitro
gen cell content is known ns proto
plasm and exists ns a wonderfully
complex molecule generally in the
form of a colloid.
The only essential and constant dif
ference between living and nonliving
matter is that within tho molecules of
living matter there Is this constant
metabolism making for a continuous
Interchange or flow of energy, whilo
In tho nonliving no such process oper
ates. In all Instances protein or proto
plasm is capable of growth and multi
plication, but to do this It must assim
ilate and eliminate; that Is to svff,
It must receive and discard. The liv
ing molecule not only absorbs, but it
chemically alters what It absorbs.

always Is in tho way in tho Bummei
unless some provision of this kind la
made to take caro of It. A houso built
for a largo family should havo plonty
of storage, becauso each member of
tho family has certain articles that ro
qulro special accommodation at certain
times during tho year. Tho housewife
always finds something to store away
and often Ib puzzled to find a suitable
placo for supH things.
Tho general stylo of this houBo Is a
modification of tho old plan of utll
izlng gables, but tho now stylo ot i
dormer varleB tho gablo monotony. In
fact, gables generally look well when
they aro necessary to finish the end
of a roof, but thoy seldom look well
when built especially to light a bed
room. Always thoro must bo a rea
sonable oxcuso for any outside houso
extension, othorwlso thoro Ib some
thing wrong with tho architectural
offect.
Tho building of a chimney oxposcd
like this chlmnoy almost alwaya im
proves tho nppearanco of tho gable
end of a house. Tho exposed part of
the chlmnoy, however, should bu
treated In conformity with tho genera!
stylo of tho houso. Tho finish of tho
chimney Bhould bo in koeplng with
tho other outsldo docoratlons. Red
brick with lines of white mortar usual
ly matches up nicely" with a dark-colored
houso with whlto trimmings. Also
rough-surfaced brick aro in koeplng
with ahlnglo siding.
Tho manner of placing shingles also
has an influonco on tho general char
acter of tho oxterlor decoration Tho
outsldo appearance of a Iioubo Is a

First Floor Plan.
To your right hb you enter tho front
door is tho large living room, 21 by 13
feet in size. The main decoratlvo fea
ture ot this splendid large living room
is a very handsomo flreplaco. Thoro
is a good deal ot mlllwork in this end
of tho room, which seems to roach out
and extend tho general design both to
the parlor and dining room. These
two rooms aro connected by an extra
wldo archway, bo that tho two roomB

Lesson In English.
An Illustration ot tho awful possi

"got," sayB a correspondent in Tho
Writer, is given by tho story of tho
man who telegraphed to his wife:
"Havo gotton tickets for tho opera to
night. Meet mo thoro at 7:4C." Sho
mot him thoro at 7:45 with olght
friends, for tho telegram whon It
roached her read: "Havo got ton
tlckots." Tho ubo of "gotten" for
"got" Ib a mark of ignorance, rather
than roflnoment. "Gotton" la UHod bj
those who desire to be thought "gen

cant that hay fever, neurasthenia and

moro prevalent among the refined nnd
tho educated than among tho illiter
ate and tho poorer classes.
Inasmuch as we all begin as a sin
gle cell and every partlclo of chango
beyond that state must come as tho
result of tho absorption of external
matter, wo aro Inevitably forced to a
consideration of the building material
out of which tho body must be con
structed as being the only logical
point of departure from the normal
state of health. It Ib Impossible to
build a substantial and durablo build
ing without sound and suitable founda
tions, lumber, brick nnd mortar, and
It is impossible also to build a nor
mal, healthy human body without suit
able building material.
In the past the value of c food has
been estimated by Its contents In fats,
carbohydrates and proteins, as esti
mated by rather crude chemical analy
sis and the caloric equivalent of tho
food. The demonstration of the ne
cessity of certain inorganic salts for
tho maintenance of body metabolism,
a proposition which is still being
strenuously fought in many quarters,
marked a forward step of vast Impor
tance to human health and happiness,
but it fell far short of solving tho
most serious problem confronting
modern civilization. Further compre
hensive efforts to reach this solution
insulted moro recently in tho discov
ery that individual protelds consist of
numerous amino acids (nitrogen hold
ing compounds) nnd that each proteld
differs In tho quality and the number
of these amino acid "building stones."
This discovery opens our understand
ing to a comprehension that proteins
which are deficient in certain of these
amino acids will not alone sufllco to
maintain an equilibrium of nitrogen
metabolism.
The discovery of these substances
(tho vitamlnes) is certain to produce
a revolution in existing theories of
metabolism and of disease, because
such substances havo been undreamed
of by physiologists and pathologists.
They are the key necessary to unlock
tho doors to tho unexplored regions
thnt tho comprehensive and brilliant
work of Brown-Sequard, Srjous and
numerous other keen mil ds have
opened to wondering humanity. The
significance of the dlscoveiy Is not
grasped until we come to urderstand
that In these numerous and compli
cated amino acid bodies we undoubt
edly havo the "appropriate Kimulus"
sought for; the "mother substance,"
according to Funk, out of which aro
made the wonderfully effective "op
sonins," "hormones," or whatever wo
may choose to call them, tho chemical
compounds manufactured by tho com
plicated co-operative system of duct-
loss glands that have automatically
rogulated and carried forward all
man's vital functions since tho begin
ning of time, and are fully ablo to
continue tho operation normally nnd
In accordance with the laws of the
universe to the end of time provided
man acquires sufficient intelligence
not to Interfere with tho onatlon of
tho functions. '
SajouB holds that millions of In
fants die solely becauso they aro de
prived of what nature provided for
them, the maternal milk, which not
only nourishes thorn, but protects
them against disease. Human milk
Its needs by rearranging them into
new combinations; or, in other words,
It assimilates and eliminates. In ef
fect, It feeds and excretes exactly as
does any human Individual. Obvious
ly, then, a cell Is limited in its fobd
supply to that which lies within its
reach, and there must, therefore, bo
ii rrrtnln rplntlonshln between the
cell aSid the medium In which it ex
ists. When matter becomes endowed
with life It does not cease to be mat
ter, neither does it lose Its Inherent
properties. It simply becomes exceed
ingly active or unstable, but It is
never released from the laws that
govern Its structure, Its attractions
and reactions. No animal has tho
ability individually directly to assimi
late the energy or heat locked up ln
elemental mineral matter. First
groups of energy-bearing mineral
molecules are torn from nonliving
matter by the chemical activity and
affinities of tho lower forms of life,
the primitive forms of protein matter
existing In plants and In tho" Interior
of these protein bodies the mineral
molecular atoms aro rearranged by
ferments and thereby quickened.
Thereafter their Interchanges and re
actions are very rapid. It Is quite
certain that these ferments havo their
origin In the nitrogenous metabolism
of the living molecule, nnd that each
living molecule has many of these ni
trogenous groups known as receptors,
which are In effect hands atom
groups In a cell by 'means of which
foreign substances, toxins, food mole
cules and the like are anchored to the
cell.
It Is these nitrogenous bodies,
enzymes, ferments or catalyzers, that
bridge tho chasm between tho non
living sources of energy and tho liv
ing cell; and it Is a break In this
chain and the consequent disturbance
In our relationship with tho sources
of energy that Interferes with tne
free flow of energy or life through
our tissues, thereby creating those
conditions of functional disturbance
and tho chemical conditions neces
sary for that state known as disease
and which sooner or later are qulto
certain to develop' Into some form of
infection or organic disease.
It Is In tho elimination from our
grain foods of the nltrogenized min
eral molecule bearing Its storo of lat
ent but easily secured energy that wo
may expect to find the source of the
many thin little legs, the many pale,
pinched llttlo cheeks and the luster
less eyes. It Is In the elimination ot
these "Inorganic, Insoluble" elements
wo shall undoubtedly find tho cause
of tho lackof material for the manu
facture of the protective materials se
creted by our wonderful ductless
glands which control all our Involun
tary vital functions and Insure our
Immunity against Invading protoplas
mic enemies.
No protein bodies, such as bacteria
are, cau live except in favorable
chemical solutions; they, llko our
rpIvps, are dependent on n constant
flow of food energy, and tho adjust
ment in tho normal human body
makes it Impossible for bacteria to
exist therein. Hence It must be dis
turbance In this vital flow, in our
chemical balance, that makes us sub
ject to infections as well as to those
deficiencies falling under the head ot
"neurotics" and around which are
grouped our neurasthenics, our hay
fever and other similar vldtlms.

3y Government Regulation Practically
All Ocean-Going Vessels Must
Have a Supply.
For many years sailors havo known
that oil would smooth tho sea and oc
casionally It has been used for that
purpose In cases of emergency.
Now, under n now regulation pro
mulgated by the department ot com
merce, tho coastwise and ocean-going
"essels over 200 tons and propelled by
machinery, aro required to carry a
supply.
On voynges, when necessary, the oil
is allowed to drip Into tho water
through plpea In order to prevent
waves and spray from dashing over
tho decks.
The application of It Is especially
offectlvo during storms If vessels nro
riding nt anchor.
Utilization of oil, you remember,
resulted In the rescuo of C21 parsons
from tho burning Uranium liner Vol
turno. Captain Barr of tho steamer
Carmanla reached tho sceno of the
disaster early, but found himself un
able to render assistance on account
of the mountainous seas. Ho sent out
a wireless call for a tanker. After the
arrival of tho oil carrier ten great
steamers swung Into lino about tho
doomed Volturno and lifeboats were
soon flitting between tho vessel In
flames and tho rescue stilps over an
oil-covered and comparatively smooth
ocean.

much to tho latter's astonishment.
Conkllng listened to what Poyton had
