We want them light, airy, ample, easily clean- ed, attractive! The houses we have bought, if they have had auy closets at all, have been provided with the most unattractive, dark, stingy "cubby-holes" imaginable! The very worst detail of the home we now occupy was the kitchen cup- board. One look within its choco- latescolored depths made me shud- der! It suggested dirt--and worse! Its walls were papered with dark and thick, the doors solid wood. I felt I could not MHve with that hor- ror long, so the first doing-over was chosen to be that spot! We took off the heavy doors at the top, leaving solid doors below, for the cupboard reached [rom ceil- ing to floor. We substituted glass mill-order doors, with a single plain | panel in each. { taken off. i good shape, they were covered with ;of a most attractive kitchen. The shelves were removed, and all the wall paper As the walls were not in wall board, and shelves graduating | from a widé-width at the bottom to a rather narrow one at the top, four iin all, replaced the old shelving. The whole closet was then given several coats of flat cream paint and one of enamel. To-day, that horror is the centre All small supplies like spices are kept in glass jars; special emergency sup- plies or extra-nice jams and jellles are to be found at the top, while the two lower shelves hold the gayest bits of china used in the daily cook- ing---bowls, plates, pitchers. No one comes 'into our kifchen without ex- chaiming over that bright, attrac- tive supply-closet. Of course, its doing-over led to ofher improvements in time, cream- painted walls, new bluish linoleums, etc., so that in truth, the whole at- mosphere of the work centre of the house is transformed, cheerful, at- tractive and convenient, as it should e if one Is to enjoy working in it. All bed rooms closets have been painted. It is not only because paint is more hygiene than paper and can be easly cleaned, but it looks fresh and dainty, as any clotheés-press should look. Two of our bedrooms had no closets. In these rooms we built corner closets of wall-board, measuring carefully so that not an extra inch would be used of room space that Was needed, and yet that there was width enough for clothes- pole, with which every closet is fit- ted. Anyone who has used clothes-poles for hanging know how many more garments can go in a given space than with the old plan of hooks about the wall. The pole sets in & socket, so that it is removable. It is painted to mafch the wall color, and it hangs at the easiest height at which clothes may be hung, and al- low space between them and floor. Above the pole is always a shelf, and not infrequently when ceiling-height allows, two, Our most successful closet was made out of the unused waste front- end of the upstairs hall. This is about five feet square, opening into the largest bed room, which before we made the change had only a nar- row, single closet to hold the ward- robes of two people. Now the large closet has a win- dow, shoe-shelves, two wide shelves above the clothes-pole, the lower of which has a hinged cover, which dropping 'down, rests on the shelf- braces forming a hat-shelf, Closéd, it makes a complete hat-case for six hats! All the work we did ourselves, my husband and I, except for the help he had in making over a very old door (which we purchased at a bargain) and hanging it. When the closet was finished there was still the space bordering 'the stalr-railing in the hall, upstairs. We had no linen closet. We felt this space was the angwer to our need! AUSTRALIA AN OLD LAND, BUT A POLITICAL BABY Geologically, Methuselah among world land masses, Aus- tralia is economically as well as po- tically, the baby of the world. Her trees and plants, most of them, belong to an age inconceiv- ably distant. Her mountains have been levelled off, pretty largely her valleys have been smoothed out and the whole appearance of her spells age----mighty age in an aged world. Her animals, practically all mar- supials from the kangaroo rat to the man-sized great kangaroo of the great centrdl plains gre different from anything found elsewhere. The emu and cassowary, wingless or nearly so, the flying oppossum, the Tasmanian devil, the tiger-striped Tasmanian wolf, the mysterious platypus or duck-bill, a mammal which swims under water, has wab feet and the head of a bird, with a body covered with long brown fur, the young, speaks of a fauna utterly re- moved from species with which we are familiar. Australia is old--geologically a throw-back to some forgotten period of the time before history was. But so'far as the white man is concerned she was born yesterday and she is still the infant mewling and pewking in the nurse's arms, crying for something she thinks she wants but not knowing what in the heck it really is. A land of strange, anamolous ¢on- tradictions is Australia. Intensely democratic, five of her six great states governed by labor parlis« ments and premiers who have just emerged from factories and work- shops with the sweat of manual toll upon them, she still clothes het judges and even her barristers at law in gowns and wigs, Petains the gold en mace before the speakers' table and which lays eggs, yet suckles its "when Parliament is in session and ~~ NEURITIS 1 After carefully measuring the space and consulting mail-order catalogues, we sent for two sets of doors, and began building our new linen closet. It has four shelves for bed-linen in its upper two-thirds, and two shelves for bath-towels shd bath-room suppliés in the lower tier, each shut off by their own pair of doors. The side was made of wall- board, as, is the back, which, of course, is one side of my large clothes-closet described. The whole has been papered like the walls of the hall and the doors are white enamelled, with good grade of brass hardware. It is prob- ably the most useful of all the closets in the house, convenient, ample, light, good-looking. Our store-room has a large closet- space, well shelved as may be done for any storage space of any home, First we made it as tight as pos- sible, so that no dust or dirt would sift in. Then we ran an extension light in, so that every corner is well- lighted and there is no fumbling for a bundle which must be found in a hurry. Here tliere are shelves for bed- ding, each bundle tied and labelled plainly; shelves for travelTing bags, all off the floor; and ready for use at any moment; below the bag- shelves there are places for the fa- mily trunks, easy to get at, closely against the wall, out of the way. There are shelves for hat-boxes, racks for unused pictures and shel- ves for books. i Nd BEFORE BUILDING ?

But the wrong advice is worse than no advice at all." . {| "That," says Mrs. Florence Glebe, 311 Royal Apts, Merrick Street, Ham- ilton, Ont., is why I feel it my duty to give women a little information concerning Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills for Pale People. In the first place I may say that I am a graduate nurse of one of our Hamilton schools of nurses, having had a number of years' experience in nursing nervous and other cases of women. "I may state that for the last three years I have not been feeling as I should. I have been under the care of our physician. He informed me that I would not improve until I took a change of climate. My symp- toms were that I was tired out easily, pallid, short of breath. On going up- stairs I had a rapid heart action and & weak feeling. If I entered a warm room I became. hot 'and clammy. Black spots would float before my eyes, and I had sharp pains in my head. I did not sleep well at night and would toss around in bed." My appetite was fickle and poor. I tried a number of medicines that were ad- vertised, with no good results. I be- friends they would say, 'My, look terrible." 1 lost in weight and in spirits. My husband came home one evening asking, as he usually did, how I was feeling, and at my an- swer sald, "Well, try these," and he Pink Pills. He said try them any- how, they may help you. I did try them and they surely gave me quick results. By the time I had taken four boxes I can honestly say I felt like a different person. I could hardly re- alize it myself. People I met would say, "Why you look splendid. What have you been taking?" My reply would be that I had been taking Dr. Williams* Pink Pills, and their an- swer usually was, "Well, they certain- ly have helped you." I now sleep well and eat well. The terrible sharp pain has left my head. - I do my work and feel toned up. My color has return- ed, and the pills have given me new vitality. I am deeply thankful that my husband brqught me the first box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I will gladly tell anyone what these pills did for me, and you have full permis- sion to publish this statement in the hope that my experience may help someone else."

This little book contains many useful health hints. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr.. Wil- Hams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
