D., not be caught in the delusion of manv
thousands in postponiug a home until YOU
can have an expensive one. That idea is
the DEVILS trap that catches men and wo-
men lnnumerabIe. who will never have apy
home at all. Capitalists of America build
plain homes fol the people. Let this tene.

til hsusands of the people of our cities a,e
wail,wing in the mire, be broken up by
small homes, where people Can have their
own firesides and their own altar. In this

ufacturers of this country have done for the
villages and cities, iu building small houses
at Cheap rents. So that the middle classes
can have separate homes. they are the
only class not provided for. Tt.e rich have
their palaces. and the poor have their poor
houses, and criminals have their iails; but
what ab ,ut the honest middle classes, who
are able and will ng to work and vet have
small income? Let the Capitalists, inspired
IF Gnd and pure patriotism. rise and build
whole streets of small residences. The
laborer may have, ut the close of the day, to
walk or ride further than is desirable to
reach it, but when he gets to his destination
in the rventide he will find sometbi
