mornings that I could scarcely get

to move or do a bit of work and I
thought I never would be any better
until I submitted to an operation, but
my husband thought I hail better write
to you and I did so, stating my symp-
toms. I commenced taking Lydia E.

soon felt like a new woman. I had no

most people do not understand grates 1
and their peculiarities. Everybody
loves a grate fire; but some women
have an exaggerated dread of the care
of a grate, because they have never ;
learned how to manage one. Old maids
also are afraid of tnen, because they ;
can t manage them. They have never j
had the experience. In both cases it |
would pay the women to spend a little
time in investigations along proper

Atlanta, Ga.—Leaving a note lr

When he fell after swallowing the
acid, he clutched ln his hand a note ,
to his father. It read:
"I am a complete failure. There’s
no need of me causing my folks any
more trouble. I want to go where
mamma went a year ago. I'll be bet-

in ihe daytime, and a grate to dis-
pense comfort at night. There are
great possibilities for sociability in a
room like this. I like to see a grate in
a house, and 1 like to see it used
Grates are not intended to be closed
up. They should sparkle out their
warmth and cheerfulness at every pos-
sible opportunity A very flimsy ex
cuse will answer for lighting a small
fire in the grate. Only those who un-
derstand how to make a fire are able
to appreciate thoroughly the amount
vides. The kitchen is the center of
activity in a house. In this case the
arrangement is about as nearly per-
fect as it could be. The sink is in a
well-lighted corner next to the pantry-
door. There is a great deal of run-
ning between the sink and the pantry
at dish-washing time. Every step
saved means less miles of travel for
the housekeeper *
The pantry is (art of the kitchen,
and it is part of the dining room—it {
belongs to both. It has a window to [
light it as all pantries should have;
and it has two doors to shut out the
odors of cooking from the rest of the !
house. The pantry has shelves for
dishes on one side and cupboards for
other things on the other side, that j
are well lighted, being opposite the
window. The china cupboard, while j
it comes out of the pantry, really be- i
longs to the dining room. There is a !
kitchen pot cupboard, which is a !
great convenience every day in the
year. It provides a place for stew-
pans, griddles, preserving kettles,
laundry tools, empty fruit jars and a j
great many other things that no j
housekeeper wants in the pantry or !
exposed In the kitchen proper
There is another kitchen conveni !
ence in the shelves at the top of the
cellar stairs. There are many things
which may be kept on these shelves,
that otherwise would have to go In
the cellar because they do not belong
in the kitchen.
From this kitchen it is easy to
upstairs, and it is easy to go down
the cellar. In the course of a day
there are a good many trips made
both ways The grea* value of this
kitchen is its accessibility in both di-
rections. You can go dow nstairs for a
pan of potatoes, or you can go up
stairs to sweep and make the beds,
without being obliged to take very
many unnecessary steps. A modern
