tic and misguided people who on the
one hand strive for something beautiful
and on the other for something odd or
different" from tho rest.
II would be hard to tell which class has
originated the most combinations. The
most common exterior is the one on which
Jap siding has been used. but all lap sid
ing is not put on the same. The cheapest,
OF course, is the ordinary drop siding
used on barns, which gives a far too
ordinary appearance to be considered for
house. Then there Is the six-inch white
pine siding laid four to five inches TO
tho weather. Variations from this is
narrower siding laid two TO three inches
to the weather. also alternate wide and
narrow strips. Then one occasionally sees
special siding laid one inch thick at the
thickest end and eight or ten inches to
the weather. This Is used only on a Sc
verely plain colonial house intended to
look as though put up in those good
old days" when workmen were handi-
capped by a lack OF TOOLS which made
their work necessarily crude. To the
writer, however, there is more character
to such a wall than to one on which
narrower siding has been used. In get
ting away from the all-slded house the
first variation is usually to side the walls
up half way, or to belt cornice on a
line with the porch cornice, and to use
shingles from there up. When this is
done the wall shingles should be stained
to harmonlse with both siding below and
roof above. White cedar shingles or
cypress shingles are the best for both roof
and walls. Dimension shingles are usually
used for the walls (shlngles all of the
same width, though as a matter OF fact
they look II anything better when laid
the same ais on the roof Too much regu-
laTlty or repetition OF the same thing Is
not as attractive as a wall with a little
variety and character to II. To this end
some designers prefer to wave each line
of shingles a trifle in order to overcome
slightly the stiffness of the parallel line
effect.
Shingles are very attractive when used
as the exterior for cottages or bungalows
Shingles are usually laid five inches TO
the weather for side walls, but there are
variations to this rule. A pleasing way
to break up the ssmeness OF a shingled
residence is TO lay them in alternate
courses Of two inches and eight inches

Backache Means
Dying Kidneys
a Remarkable Treatment That Saves
the Kidneys. How You May

With the progress of science comes
one remarkable treatment for kidney
diseases. 1t has been so thoroughly
tested and its results have proven so
revolutionary that well-known firm

Those who suffer from kidney trouble
and the diseases resulting from it will
be pleased TO know that every package
OF this treatment is thoroughly guaran-
teed This should assure at last posi-
tive cure to every sufferer
that backache is usually well-defined
symptom of advancing kidney disease
which may end fatally unless treated
In time; that rheumatism and bladder
trouble are caused from nothing more
nor less than kidneys that do not filter
the poison from the blood; that dropsy.
Bright's disease, diabetes and bladder
stones are caused by bad kidneys
Once they are made to work proper
ly,, these diseases should quickly disap-
pear.
This is done by the new treatment DR..
Derby's Kidney Pills.
We urge everyone who has pain in the
small of the back, profuse or scanty
urination, pains in the bladder, cloudy
or foul urine, not to fail to get a pack
