GERMAN SOAP FROM SUGAR
Discovery That Promises to Be Of I'm.

The discovery is announced OF a
method OF manufacture of soap from

instead of from oil. which Is scarce. In
the past 1t has been possible to use
sugar only in soaps that had little
value. By the new method. 1t Is
claimed. the soap produced 10 not

Horse Stealing CHARGED.

Lexington.-Fo the first time in
many years Henderson county has
been in the throes Of horse-stealing
escapade. In swamp ON the farm Of
John S. Fielder, three miles south Of
town, posse Of rs men, led by Sher-
if J. Frank Martin, captured two
white men who had been chased from
near Thurman in upper Decatur
County, charged with stealing two
horses in that community. Being
holly pursued, the two men aban-
doned their horses before leaving De-
catur County. The men bore the
names of Hooks and Brewer, giving
their ages, respectively, at II and 20,
but it is believed they are older.
Sheriff Martin carried the alleged
horse thieves to Decaturville, where
they were tried by a magistrate, bound
over to the circuit court and placed
in jail on failure to make bond.

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In SeIcc-
of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

If you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed In wilderness.
your first thought would be Of food
supply and your next Of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties OF mankind. It 10 therefore
natural that the best thought. and
study are put upon these two essen
tails.
More forward steps have been
taken In the building industry in the
past fifteen years. as regards comfort.
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the haId-
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with 1t.
Modern hotels and office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly. every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard of wood.
One Of the most significant develop.
ments Of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt single which
is. on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building--in fact. there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints Of red or green. is employed as
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
Ing Is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate Is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser. however. should
guard himself against buying q slate
surfaced single that is not guaran-
teed by reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming TO De tho
best that 1t becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.
