LOOK INTO YOUR CELLAR
Plenty of Air and Unslaked Lime
Make for Health, Says Writer
of Experience.

Householders seldom know that
their cellars are the storehouses from
whence comes so per cent of the air of
the first floor and 80 per cent of that
on the floor above. If they did there
would not be so many dank and moi
some places filled with refuse and
mold, spiders, ccbwebs and mice, to
say nothing of decayed vegetables and
fruits, a writer in Mothers Magazine
observes Vapors from all these COM
bine to penetrate the whole house and
add their poison to the air that is
breathed by those living above them.
Every cellar, even if kept free from
dirt, should be ventilated as carefully
in winter as in summer. A musty
smell shows that mold plants are grow
ing and are waiting to attack fruit and
vegetables. Cold will not kill these
destructive germs. There should be
plenty of air let in the cellar every
clear day. Moisture-laden air en-
tering it condenses on the walls and
pipes and soon makes it so damp that
it is a menace to the house. All eel
lars should have dishes of unslaked
lime in them; this takes up moisture
with avidity. When the lime crum-
bles, losing entirely it's crystalline
character, it has become slaked and
will take up no more moisture. 1t
should then be renewed.

Most Popular Houses.

Perhaps the most popular types OF
dwellings being built at present are
the two-family and three-family
houses. The reason for this is not
hard to understand when one consid-
ers that the rented apartment or
apartments in such a house carry all
interest, taxes, water rates and insur-
ance, and that any money paid in by
the owner is in the nature of decreas-
ing the mortgage, so that in time
these payments will pay for the house
and he will own it free and clear.
An additional feature of the two
family or three-family house is that
after the house is fully paid for the
rentals furnish a steady income and
means for the upkeep Of the whole
building.

WHEN BUILDING THE CHIMNEY
Care in Avoiding Defects Would Do
Much to Prevent Disastrous Con-
fIagrations.

A great majority Of the fires, as
shown by statistics, are caused by de-
fective chimneys. Therefore, so far as
safety from fire is concerned, the chin
ney is one of the most important fea'
lures Of the new house. Money spent
here is well spent, so do not skimp on
the chimney.
A good foundation carried below
ground level is an absolute necessity;
also care in the construction of the
chimney, to prevent burning SCOT COM
ing in contact with any woodwork, Is
important.
Built Of either brick or cement,
there should be a seamless column ex-
tending above the ridge of the roof.
The flues should be sufficient in num-
Der and properly placed. There should
be separate flues for the heating sys-
tenn and the kitchen range, and an
other for the fireplace.

WALL NEED NOT BE UGLY
Builder Who Works With Good Taste
Can Achieve Results That Are
of the Best.

There is no reason why brick wall
should be so dull and monotonous, for
there are numerous methods for brick
walls of which any clever architect
or bricklayer might make use, says a
writer in the Dayton Journal. Some
times there is a clause in the specifi-
cations calling for more or less orna-
mentations of otherwise blank walls.
In Holland, where much brick is
used in domestic architecture, brick
men take delight in showing their
skill in mixing brickwork and nearly
every cottage shows specimens of
their handicraft.
1t is not the best thing to do to
select bricks for facings if the bricks
are sound and right in texture. 1t is
pretty safe to say that labor put into
that special picking is worse than
thrown away, is positively injurious,
and that all those slabs of raw, harsh
color might have been rendered soft
and harmonious by using the bricks
just as they came out of the kiln, with
all the perceptible and imperceptible
graduations of tone conferred upon
them by the accidents of burning.
Your great bare spaces will be full
of variety and interests of what paint
ers call quality" but without preju-
dice to the breadth of treatment, be-
cause the smallness of the individual
bricks distributes the variation of
color so subtly over the whole surface
that only those who are Gin the know
of course, the larger the surface the
wider the diversity of color that can
be introduced without disturbing the
general tone.

FOR BETTER SCHOOL GROUND
Los Angeles Newspaper Urges the
Beautifying of Lands Adjacent to
Such Buildings.

The subcommittee on schools of the
1915 identifying committee, together
with the judges in the school grounds
contest, have joined forces in asking
tkat the work of identifying the
grounds of schools in Los Angeles
county be continued until every one Of
them shall be well embellished with
trees, shrubs and plants. The writer
sincerely hopes that the judges,
Messrs. Lahee, Kienholz and Mcqueen,
will aid the subcommittee in the
preparation of a report sufficiently
definite and specific in its recon-
mendations so that practical pro-
longation of the present line of work
may be assured until not only all the
schoolgrounds of this country shall
be artistically planted, but the move
ment spread to include all our beauti.
full southland.
In the past people who should be
most interested have often proved
unusually apathetic on the question OF
establishment of school grounds. 1t
ndS UGH d LudtLSl VI WOluSl AIOhb W
the writer why the one piece of
ground in a community in which all
have common ownership and in which
all have a common interest should be
the only one neglected. Yet such has
proved to be true in a score of cases
coming under observation. Now SEN
timent is undergoing a rapid change
for the better. The impetus given the
identifying of school grounds by the
1916 committee will be far-reaching
and permanent If the one suggestion
made be carried out, namely, that no
prize winner of the present year be
allowed to compete for two years, the
time will come when nearly all will
have won one or more prizes and all
will be more or less beautiful. The
county should have an official adviser
to visit and report upon ways and
means of improving each school, or,
better still, the county should hire
some competent designer to plan every
school ground in the county. Then
would all have the same foundation
on which to begin work-the only prop
er foundation.-Los Angeles Times.

Teaching City Management.

The University of Texas having led

possible for men and women who fit
themselves for this work to look for

Pruning Deciduous Trees.

Do not be afraid to prune deciduous
trees and shrubs now, simply for the
reason that they are carrying green
leaves. 1t is a good rule to prune the
shrubs just as soon as they are past
blooming. Trees, however large, may
be profitably pruned now, unless the
entire top is to be removed. Small
branches need no treatment subse-
quent to pruning, but large cuts should
be treated with linseed oil, paint, as
phalt, tar or any protective substance
that will exclude air and form and
maintain a film over the wound. The
latter will then start to heal over this
season and the work be vigorously re-
uewed in early spring.

Canada's School Gardens

in Toronto, Ont. Here is a climate
the opposite in it's makeup to that

in both sections.
