A square built house plastered on
the outside is shown in this design.
In some sections of the country these
houses are becoming very popular.
The idea is not new, in fact it dates
back hundreds of years, but it has
been recently revived because we have
found out how to use cement to ad-
vantage in construction work of this
kind. The modern outside cement
plaster coat bears no relation to the
old English rough-cast which used to
peel off in irregular patches and spoil
the appearance of the house for
ever.
Another invention that has a great
deal to do with modern cement plas-
ter work is the different kinds of ex-
pansion metal lath Until cement
mortar was troweled onto, and into
sheet metal lath it was impossible to
provide against expansion and con-
traction. 1t is difficult even now to
explain why cement plaster on good
metal lath will dry and hang free of
cracks when the same mixture spread
on wooden lath will spider-leg in
every direction. But probably the
why is not so important as the fact
that we are only just beginning to I'M
derstand the use of cement. Human
knowledge comes very slowly. We
often hear some one say that the
Romans knew as much about cement
as we do, but that is nonsense. They
knew how to make a cistern or
tank and a few other simple things,
but we know more about the general
application of cement to more kinds
of important work than the Romans
ever dreamed of. Still we find it nec-
essary to hammer out each improve
ment slowly and laboriously with the

Bellinq a Rat,

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid house Of
rats is to catch one and fasten a bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore it
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead of being afraid Of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu-
sic. Had the boy tied harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had a dance every night.

smoked. And it isn't always the Booth
mixture that they want. l have filed

favorite tobacco of many famous per-
sons. Smokers the country over have
heard of this collection of recipes and
one feature of every mans trip to
New York is to try a pipeful of some
big mans favorite tobacco. In most
cases this special mixture is so
strong that the nerves of the average
smoker cannot stand it, He has to

misnomer to say that dampness can

know that beads of moisture during

on the inside of a solid wall We may
not go into the subject deep enough
to determine whether the moisture is
there because the wall is colder than

1t is difficult to find any fault with

ficient for quite large family.

very carefully. These things always

OF such accommodations in a house is
very noticeable and very annoying.
The expense at the time of building is
not much more. 1t all hinges on fore

Starchy food is not digested in the
upper stomach but passes on into the
duodenum, or lower stomach and in

into form OF sugar is completed and
then the food absorbed by the blood.
But If the powers of digestion are

Earlfer-Menu for Both Is
Much the Same.

The invitations for luncheon are
sent out one or two weeks in advance,
according to the formality of the af-
fair. Invitations may be written in
the third person, but the first person
is preferred if the luncheon is to be
formal. To an informal affair the
guests may be invited verbally.
The correct hour for luncheon is
one or half-past one o'clock. If this
hour is inconvenient the hostess may
invite her guests to a, late break
fast, which differs little from a lunch
con, except that the usual hour is II
Oh half-rast II.
The same menu is used for a
breakfast as one would use at a
luncheon with the exception of the
soup.
At a luncheon women should wear
street or reception dress and should
keep their hats on at a formal func-
ton, or unless requested by the host
ess to remove them.
The guests should enter the dining
room singly, never arm in arm, the
women entering first and the men fol,
lowing, if any are present.
The guests should not stay long
after luncheon, as busy hostess
usually has another engagement to
keep.
Verbal invitations are not good

ing issued. No exception is allowa-
