butter, meat and potatoes. little
cake and few candies may be all
right by way of variety, but you can
not live on such things. You build
a good, solid, plain, square house
that Is light, airy well ventilated, and
easily heated, and you have something
to be satisfied with as long as you
live. But you let some architect coax
you into building some fancy gothic
arrangement, or add lot of gewgaws
to an otherwise sensible plan, and you
will have job Of alterations on your
hands before many years.
A study of the rooms in the present
design will convince anyone that this
plan offers good deal of comfort for
the amount of money the house will
cost. Commencing with the front hall,
there is good-looking open stair
lighted both from the top and the
bottom-a feature that you do not al
ways meet with Then there is a
closet for coats, and room behind this
and under the main stair for an en-
trance to the cellar from the kitch-
en-. There is good hall--big enough
withoAt using up whole lot of un-
necessary space.
The living room and dining room
are supposed to occupy the south or
west, side OF the house, which is the
sunny side, as these rooms are used
the most. When it comes to the kitch-
en- and pantry, with back porch en-
trance, the arrangement is good and
pretty handy. do not advocate put
ting the kitchen on the north side Of
the house, because | think kitchen
should be as bright and cheerful as
any other room; but on the other
hand, northern or eastern room is
cooler than one facing the south or
west, and you have too much heat in
the kitchen anyway.
1t is impossible to have everything
Just exactly right; but taking this
house on the whole, the plan is a good
one, and 1t is not very expensive
With careful management it may be
built in most towns for about $4,000,
complete with piping for gas and with
electric wiring. An exceptionally
good manager might get the furnace
put in, and still keep the price within

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers OF this
paper On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer he
Is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 17s West
Jackson boulevard, Chicago, ILL.,. and only
enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
For economy in space and careful
planning Of the rooms to utilize the
last inch to advantage, the house de-
sign here shown is exceptionally good.
1t Is that Of medium-sized square
built house, "a by 80 feet in ground
plan.
These dimensions may seem rath-
er small to work into seven rooms,
besides good bathroom, plenty Of
closets, and good lower hall with an
open stairway. Yet these rooms are
as large as the average rooms in new
houses, as houses go at the pres
ent time; and they are a good deal
larger than some. Years ago, rooms
were larger; but that was when build
ing material and labor were very
much cheaper than they are now. A
builder can almost tell the age of
a house by the size of the rooms. But
there are other contributing causes.
One is that we understand building
better, and 1t is not necessary to
build so large to get the same amount
OF comfort AS one lady expressed 1t,
Il have learned to like my small
kitchen; there are places for every
thing, and do not have to walk SO
much"
We have learned how to ventilate
houses so that the air in small rooms
in new houses is better than the air
in large hooms in houses built 20 or
30 years ago. One reason for better
ventilation is that houses now are
set up we'll from the ground. 1t is a
rare thing to see a new house less

than three feet above grade, and many
of them are more than four feet up.
There was time when cellars were
confined to one corner of the house,
and they were often dark. damp, dingy
affairs. Modern houses, however,
practically all have cellars the full
size of the house, divided into com
partments-one for the furnace, one
for coal and one for the storage of
fruit and vegetables. A furnace in
the cellar is in itself a splendid ven
tilator; 1t keeps the cellar dry and
warm, and the heat from it will force
ventilation. Then, the circulation of
air in the pipes and through the reg
listers carries the warm circulating me-
dunn to every corner in the building.
Nine out of ten of the smaller houses
probably are heated by means OF
hot-air furnace, and there is no bet
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1913-09-12

ter heating apparatus for a house of
this size.
Another Improvement in the modern
house is in making larger chimneys
and putting more fiues in them. There
is a constant current Of air going up
through the chimney. If fiue is built
right, it works night and day, purify
ing the air in the house. 1t does not
make any noise, and we are likely
to forget that it is there; but the
work goes on whether we know it
and appreciate the fact or not. Thou

knowingly to just such protection.
