NOW THE FOLDING BUNGALOW
Danger of Doing Shunted Half-Dr****#
From Bedroom to Farter to an
■ ■citing Poeeiblttty.
Our imagination la greetljr taken amt
likewise titillated by the deaertptlon of
a folding bungalow Juat put In opera-
tion. which may contain two rooma or
five, at the owner's pleasure. The par-
titions run on ball bearing*. and eon
l>e shifted as easily as the trick doors
and ceilings In that nnclont spectacle
which you tray remember—llanlon'a
1'hnntnsma. observes the St. I.ouls
tihvhe-ltcmocrat.
In this phantasm of a bungalow you
nihy have n room 1.1 by US feet In case
you desire to give a party or entertain
your friends s> a ntnslcsle. If refresh-
ments are served. Ittr remainder of tha
house ennlitltis a kitchenette.
After your guests depart, you begin
shoving partitions about—clock, dark,
clack—Just like .that, and two bed
chambers appear completely furnished,
the bedroom furniture opening out
from the walla, where It haa been aa
neatly pnekid as the wings of a hat
terfly 4n Its chrysalis. In this wonder-
ful structure, we understand, walls
fold together as handily as four sec-
tions of a lire screen, with Mngoa work-
ing both ways.
We suppose, when several persons
are In the house, title warning must he
given before the metHinorphnsIs be-
gins. One wouldn't like to he shunted
half-dressed from his bedroom Into the
parlor or dropped gently on the flower
; hid In the front yntd by his apart-
ment unexpectedly turning wrong-side
out. Then. too. Is there danger of be-
ing Inadvertently packed tigulnst the
celling for a whole day. nnd left there
' until evening, when the house takes An
Its nocturnal shape again?

How Eating Affects Health.
Whitt ......it hus fur more to do with

vacation in Ihe country will improve
the physical condition. But beyond
them and nlmve them the heat setting-
up exercise Is the exercise of Mean,
Juicy, sun-cooked fruits and vegetables
In the hlond stream. Richer and fuller
life will leap In the veins when the cir-
culation has been freed from the fa-
vorite poisons. Then there will he a
j aest In every hour. Desire for hart!
I work anil an ability to concentrate the"
mind on the most arduous problems
and pressing duties, pleasant or un-
pleasant. w111 he faced with a poise
ami mental clarity hardly known In the
Idaya of the stimulating poisons with
- their false tire and tlielr subtle evils

Friends and acquaintances armed
with a knowledge of food value* will
no doubt launch them nt your head
with much concern when they hear,
