This design makes very attractive
little two-story house that should not
cost to exceed $1,000, or say $l,500,
with plumbing and heating plant COM
plete 1t Is Al feet long and 1t is "a

with a cellar the full size of the house.
1t is easy to make the frame work
for house like this, because one wing

signs in this respect.
The shape Of the house also works
well In dividing the cellar BY r''N-
ming a partition across from the jog in
the wall. room under the front of the
house may be shut off from the other
cellar and made into a fruit room that
may be kept cold all winter, an ad-
vantage that anyone will appreciate
who has had good cellar divided in
this way
The specifications Of this plan call
for a good solid foundation and this is
very important in any house One of
the advantages OF having carefully
drawn plans and specifications is that
men who are unaccustomed to such
things get the advantage OF years OF
experience acquired by others.
Another specification is in regard to
the chimney tlue. which must be
smooth on the inside This Is a little
detail that few inexperienced persons
would ever think of, but 1t makes a

great difference with the smoke. You
may not feel inclined to consult the
convenience of smoke to so up a chin
ney easily, but If you have ever had
smoky experience with a balky fire you
know what it is worth. Smoothing
the inside of a chimney will not offset
serious defects in proportions, but If
chimney is nearly right smooth hue
helps to finish up the proposition. The
old riddle about "a house full. hole
full and you can't catch bowl fun"
comes to person forcibly when the
fire refuses to burn and your eyes
smart until the tears come.

The Guiding Moral Law.

We have experience, we have bea-
cons, we have landmarks enough. We
know what the past has cost us, we
know how much and how far we have
wandered, but we are not left without
a guide. 1t is true we have not. as
an ancient people, had Trim and
Thummim-those oraculous gems on
Aaron's breast-from which to take
counsel. but We have the unchange-
able and eternal principles OF the
moral law to guide us, and only so
far as We walk by that guidance can
We be permanently a great nation. or
our people happy people.-John

STRINGENT LAWS
|. AS TO BANKING
But i is Popular With Bankers
and the Public as
Well.
THE NORTH CAROLINA IDEA

RALEIGH, N. c., July 27-The new
banking law OF North Carolina, pre-
pared by astcommittee of the Legisla-
ture Of 1908. working In conjunction
with n committee Of bankers ap-
pointed by the North Carolina Bankers
Association, seems to be good one.
for it is liked by the people as we'll
as the bankers. Under this law a bank
can DO organized with capital stock
of $4,000; each stockholder Is liable
for an assessment to make good a
loss equal 10 his holdings; this indi-
vidual liability of the stookholder is
for his pro rata amount and not each
for all; the bank cannot own real
estate, except for a building In which
to do its own business, or temporarily
to save a debt.
The law OF 1909 puts State bank
on about the same basis with n ma
ltional bank The depositor is we'll
protected.
Under the new law a State bank is
under the control of tho Corporation
Commission, which grants charters
land appoints an examiner who makes
his examinations just us. does the ia !
Itlonal bank examiner. Before 1908 the
Legislature granted all bank charters;
and each and every bank hnd Its own
peculiar form of charter.
No Issue Of Currency.
No provision Is made for the issue
Of currency by the State, for the reason
THAT the national government controls
that by leyying a tax OF 10 per cent,
on all bank notes issued by authority
lof State law. The tax Is prohibitive.
Several years ago there was consid-
lerable talk about the constitutionality
tof the 10 per cent. tax on all bank
notes Issued by the authority OF the
State, and an effort was made to have
THE law, requiring the tax repealed
but the movement was not popular
zone. It was discovered during this
agitation that the people prefer uni
form banking currency and don't want
different kinds of money for different
States. Therefore, tho movement 10
test the constituuonality of the 10 per
lcent, law, or to have 1t repealed, was
abandoned, and consequently, in most
iof the States there IL no law providing
for the issue of State bank notes. The
