You may buy a Saxon believing it to be the

you pay for.
You may look for longer service, better per

Saxor. than from any other car of like price.
Ar.d you will not be disappointed.
I: ■ .ere v z any doubt that Saxon cars are the
beet in thr.r respective divisions it has long

And the proof of this you will find, a thousand
f; .d ever, in the records of Saxon owners—
ar.d in the opinion of motor-car buyers in
ge- era.. Saxon cars have definitely estab
- shed their superiority in every phase of
motor car performance.
And just as surely and decisively as they have
proved themselves abler acting cars, have they
jfoved themselves cheaper cars to keep up.
To build cars of such quality and such value
c-arly reflects the strength and soundness
and ability of the Saxon organization.

By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.
There can he no denying the fact
that the bungalow occupies an impor
tant place among the several types of
buildings now being used for residence
purposes. The number of homes which
have been built nfter this type is a suf
ficient indication of its usefulness.
Here we give the word, bungalow, a j
liberal meaning, since in its literal ‘
sense it would hardly apply to a mod
ern American home, no matter how
simple. If we take the word to mean
u one-story house, modern in its design I
and appointments and so constructed
that it will appear “close to the
ground," the foregoing statement
stands correct.
Tlie bungalow, as we have broadly
defined it. is perhaps the most widely :
used building type, with respect to the
varying density of population, of all
building types. The bungalow is found
in the smallest of villages as well as in
the outlying parts of the largest cities.
Its appeal is universal because it is a
type which may be made thoroughly
expressive of a popular idea. Every
one likes the coziuess which is best
expressed in this style. Everyone
likes the homelike atmosphere which is
in the house itself even before the
decorating is done. It is easy to make
a home out of a bungalow.
The bungalow which is shown in the
accompanying illustrations represents
a novel treatment of exterior details t
and at the same time will serve to il- i
r- -
lustrate several desirable features in |
interior arrangement. This little build
ing is 31 feet by 44 feet in size, not
including the porch projection. It con
tains five generous sized rooms, a re
ception hall, pantry and bath.
The exterior of the bungalow at
tracts attention because of the distinc
tive way in which the gable roof is
arranged. There are two gables pro
jecting toward the front of the house.
The perspective view shows the meth
od of finishing the gable ends, leaving
the rough timbers exposed. This will
be recognized as a decidedly artistic
Floor Flan.
method of handling one of the fnvorite
features of the bungalow type. The
porch is built under the main roof of
the house, which has a wide enough
overhung to cover it. The construe- i
tion of the brick and concrete porch :
pillars is decidedly unusual. The at- j
tention which has been paid all of the |
various details such as these is plain- '
ly evident and the effect which has
been brought about is altogether pleas
ing
The walls are constructed of siding
tha. is laid in alternate wide and nar
row courses. Plain rough siding is
used, which gives a rustic appearance
to the bungalow. This siding can be :
stained dark, which adds still further
to the rustic idea. The window cas
ings are made In the same color and j
the sashes are white, whlcn pr< \ld»h
.pleasant contrast.
The entrance is into a reception hall
that opens through cased openings in
to the living room and also into the
back hall which connects up the bed
rooms and the bath. This plan, with
its reception hall and back hall, pro
vides an arrangement that makes all
the rooms readily accessible from all
of tlie other rooms. Convenience is
the object of this arrangement togeth
er with privacy between the different
parts of the house.
The bedrooms are placed at the
front and hack corners of the house.
This enables these rooms to have win
dows facing in two directions and in
sures a plentiful supply of air in the
sleeping rooms. Such an arrangement
makes these rooms almost as health
ful for sleeping purposes as a sleeping
porch and it .also provides an abun
dance of freshening sunshine during
tlie daytime. Each bedroom is fur
nished with ample closet space, which
is always a good feature to incorpor
ate in the house. These closets art
especially desirat le because of the
window s.
The bath is placed between the two
bedrooms, an ideal arrangement made
possible by the back hall. It is seldom
that the arrangement of this part of
the house can be worked out in a
more desirable manner than that which
is shown here.
The living room is a heicht. cheerful
room, due to the arrangement of win
dows. There are three wide windows
facing the porch and two more on the
side—line on each side of the fireplace.
The living room can be reached either
through the reception hall or through
a door opening front a side porch. It
is connected to the dining room by a
wide eased opening.
A double acting door leads back
from the dining room to the kitchen.
This room is fitted with all of the lat
est improvements for making conveni
ence the dominating cl racteristic. At
tention should he .ailed to the pantry.
A work table is placed directly under
the larger of the two windows in this
room. Tiie refrigerator may lie placed
on one side of this table and the cup
board is built in on the other side. In
a little recess in the opposite wall, the
opening to the clothes -hute is placed.
This feature wiil save space usually
required for soiled linen and makes it t
possible to do so without tedious steps
up and downstairs.
There is sometimes doubt as to just
how the surroundings should lie ar
ranged around a house of this kind.
Of course, one of the fundamental re
quirements is that the house appear
true to the bungalow type, close to the
ground. The lines of the roof have
been specially designed so that this ap
_
pearance will be inherent in the house. '
It would, therefore, defeat the purpose
of the design to build such a house on
land considerably higher than the sur- i
rounding ground. On the other ex
treme, no house, not even a bungalow,
looks well when It is given a squatty
appearance by Its surroundings. Aside
from the appearance, the'-e is also tht
danger of poor drainage when the
ground upon which the house is built
lias no slope whatever.
The house under consideration, then
when built upon the average 50-fool
lot. should have grade at the house es- I
tahlished not more than two feet above
the street sidewiflk level, if the lawn
is to be sloped down from the house |
to the sidewalk. By the use of a ter
raced lawn it is possible to obtain the
lesired appearance when the house
grade is considerably above this dis
tance with respect to the street side
walk. The bungalow does not look
well too near the street. The nearer i
he back of the lot the better, unless
he houses already built on the street
nake this location undesirable.
Boy Locked Cop Up.
In the outlying districts of New York
here are little block houses connected
jy telephone to summon the pul iceman
stationed there. When protection is
leeiled the cop will go to those who
rail him as fast as his motorcycle will
rake him. and frequently the officer
s commented for his speed, valor, com
non sense and kindliness. Under, the
;iret:instances it is hut natural that
le came to regard himself as one of
he best cops that ever wore the uni
form. Pride, it will be recalled,
■oincth just previous to the fall. There
s a hasp lock on the door of the j*o
ice blockhouse, and as the policeman
stood within champing at the delay b«
ween calls, a boy of four walked along
tnd locked the door on him. The win
lows of the block house are about, a
oot in diameter, and as the policeman
•ailed frantically after the little des
perado he saw him disappear with all
he speed his legs could muster. For
wo hours the mighty one waited in
he descried section for the call that
■could spoil his wonderful record of j
efficiency. It did not come, fonunate
y. until a little girl had wandered !
dong, caught the policeman’s keys and j
•eleased him. He did not speak frank- |
y until his young savior was well cut ■

That Canada is at war is now more
fully appreciated on this side of the
boundary line, now that the United
States has stepped alongside its north
ern neighbor and linked hands in the
great struggle for a freer democracy
throughout the civilized world. A* a
result of this a greater interest than
ewer is seen in the mutual effort to
develop both the United States and
Canada. Recently, just before the
time that the United States declared
its intention to enter the contest and
contribute of its resources to the de
feat of the autocracy, whose design
was to permeate the world. Western
Canada made an appeal for farm labor
to till the fields and prepare the soil
for tlie crops of grain that were nee
essary to feed the fighting forces and
keep up tlie requirements necessary
tor the Allies. The responses were so
great that before half the time limit
expired, over six thousand laborers
were secured. This was not sufficient,
but once the United States was de
clared to be in a condition of war, and
farm labor required here to meet any
exigency as to short rations that might
arise, the sister to the north, withdrew
from attempts, which might mean a
restriction of the farm labor supply
in the United States. But even with
this it is thought Canada will now be
fairly well supplied.
Apart, however, from the farm labor
proposition, it is gratifying from both
a United States and Canadian point of
view that the immigration of farmers
to take up homestead lands and to pur
chase improved and unimproved land
in Canada, has shown such a wonder
ful increase in the past three months.
The great struggle for increasing the
fond supply has a broader and greater
significance than ever. The food must
come into existence, whether the rich
soils of the United States or those of
Canada he the factor.
It ^altogether probable that the ac
tion of the Canadian Government in
taking the duty off wheat going into
Canada, thus automatically lifting the
duty off that coining into the United
States, may not be responsible for an
increased immigration to Canada. Can
ada's reputation for growing larger av
erage yields and a better quality of
grain, and on lands, many of which are
free, as well as those that range from
$15 to $35 tin acre, is an appeal that
is being responded to by farmers who
are now renting high-priced lands, is
another reason for expecting an in
creasing number of farmers from the
United States.
Mr. \V. D. Scott. Superintendent of
Immigration at Ottawa. Canada, re- '
cently gave out figures concerning im
migration from the United States,
which shows that the increase in the
past three nr four months was GO per
cent over the same period last year,
and Mr. Scott forecasts that during the
calendar year of 1917 there will he
over one hundred per cent increase-*
and he much heavier than for many
years past. Mr. Scott declares that
already this spring more settlers’ ef- !
fects have entered Canada than ]
crossed during the whole of last year. I
and the movement has just merely J
started.
The new settlers are coming from
numerous states through the ports of
Emerson. North Portal and Coutts. as
well as from Oregon and Washington,
through Kingsgate and Vancouver.
There arrived in Saskatchewan dur
ing the year ending December 31. 1916.
a total of 8.136 persons as compared
with 5.812 during the twelve months
previous. At the same time nearly
twice as many immigrants passed I
through the immigration department ,
at Edmonton. Alberta, in the last
twelve months as for the same period
of the year before.
The number of settlers from Eastern
Canada migrating to the west also in
creased. From -January 1 to March 31.
1917. the number of cars of stock that
passed through the Winnipeg yards
was 750. as compared with 361 last
year. A fair estimate of the value of
each car would be about $2,000. which
means that the west has secured addi
tional live stock to the value of $150.
900 or more, during the first three
months of 1917. not taking into account
that brought in by immigrants from
the l nited States.—Advertisement.

day my husband came home and said, ‘ Why don’t you try Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash?’ Well, I got
them and took about 10 bottles of Vegetable Compound and could
feel myself regaining my health. I also used Lydia E. Pinkham’s
