Orders in the basement exactly under
the bearing partitions of the first
story; and where possible the bear
ing partitions on the second floor
should line up exactly with those OF
the first story. There is nothing like
having a good backbone in house in
the way of bearing partitions by hav-
ing them lined up straight from foun-
dation to roof
The accompanying design serves as
a good illustration of these principles.
Although an extremely sensible and
convenient house, its exterior appear
ance is distinctive and artistic. 1t
couldn't be called fussy, yet there is
enough of ornamentation to escape
monotony. The proportions are good
and the material used-cement plas-
ter on metal lath-is the most popular
at the present time for high-grade
residence work.
The interior is arranged very sim
ply, the idea being for the maximum
of roomy conveniences. There is
very large living room of the kind so
popular in modern houses. The din
ing room is of good size and is very
conveniently placed with reference to
the kitchen, having a buffers pantry
between. An open stairway along the
back of the living room leads to the
second floor. There are found two
very large bedrooms, liberal supply
of clothes closets and a bathroom.
This house. having a width OF rs
feet and length of 20 feet, is esti-
mated to cost $4,000. using good
grade of hardwood flooring and finish
and with the modern conveniences OF
plumbing electric wiring, etc.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my Erst baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until 1t was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had it about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm.
prove. He began TO take long maps
and to stop scratching his head After
taking two bottles of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes OF
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
bis head. don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
Il have bought Cutieura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail TO cure what
put them on. Cuticura Soap is the
best that have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Signed) Mrs F. e. Har-

A good lesson in home building may
be learned from the large operators
who make a business of building up
whole streets in the suburbs with
houses of medium size for the purpose
of selling the improved property at a
profit, besides increasing the valua-
ton of the remaining vacant property
in the neighborhood. These real es-
tate operators have found that it pays
them best to give a great deal of at
tention to the design of their houses.
OF course every house must be sub
stantially built and arranged for prac-
tical convenience and utility; but this
is not enough. Such houses must be
attractive also. Each must have dis
tinetive, individual appearance.
This matter of distinctive appear
ance is especially important where a
large number of new houses are being
put up at the same time in the same
neighborhood; for nothing looks quite
so cheap and uninviting as a whole
line of new houses all packed in close
together and all of the same monoton-
GUS appearance.
While the average home builder
does not have this exact problem to
contend with still he should take
warning from such examples and
guard against conditions that may
amount to practically the same thing.
If he builds house of commonplace
appearance, one that looks just like a
hundred others which have been built,
or may be built in the future, in the
neighborhood, he Will find that there
is nothing to distinguish his house
from the rest. 1t will depreciate the
value on that account, for the pros
pective customer these days invaria-
bly, wants house that he can take
pride in.
And in addition to the Increased
value of such house at times of sale
there is also more important phase

According to estimates made by Of
ficials there will be an abundance of
water for all the cultivated lands in
Colorado. The snow is deep in the
mountains throughout the state. The
Arkansas, the Rio Grande, the Ami
mas, the San Juan and many other
large rivers will soon begin to empty
the flood waters into the mighty
part of this waste of waters will no
doubt some time be saved and turned
to usefulness when hundreds of res
ervoirs are built throughout the noun
tain region. the building os many
reservoirs will add to the cultivated
area hundreds of thousands of acres
that now is worthless waste. Each
year many acres are being reclaimed,
but the recent ruling of the govern
ment has served to limit this work.
1t is true that it requires great
amount of capital to carry on this
work. Capitalists realize that wher-
ever reservoirs have been built and
water conserved for the use of irri-
cation it has proved to be valua-
BILE investment. No money has been
lost in Investments of this kind. This
fact has stimulated capital and irri-
