the beautiful facings which may be made an integral part of the block. This feature Is a development which is largely responsible for the widening field which the concrete building block serves. Closely allied with the use of various crushed natural stones in the facings is the development and use of white cement, which may be used either alone or in combination with a number of pigments, resulting in the production of any shade of a number of colors.
 The use of these materials enables the manufacturer to produce very close limitations of highly expensive stone at a reasonable cost. Marble, granite. sandstone and limestone may be initiated with such exactness that there is nothing gained in the use of the true material. The surface of the faced block Is, as rule, finished in one of two ways. After the cement has taken it's initial set. the crushed stone is exposed by the use of water and a steel wire brush. This surface Is rough and produces much the same effect which Is obtained by the use of rough natural stone. Those stones which are capable of taking a polish in their natural state may be closely initiated by the use of the crushed ma terial. which is allowed to set firmly in the face of the block, and then the surface is planed down smooth and polished. In addition to these two methods of facing 1t is possible to tool the surface of the block in any desired way.
 In the structure. the block may be used to carry out the effect which the home builder is striving for. One man may be pleased with the massive ef- feet obtained by the use of large blocks in the entire structure. Another finds his desires realized in the combination of concrete blocks with other building materials. In the latter class of buildings an effect which has been we'll demonstrated by the use of ornamental brick may be obtained with equal sue cess by the use of concrete blocks in the construction of the porch on a | frame house.
 The illustrations present a bungalow which has been designed with a porch of distinctive concrete blocks. In this case the architect has found it possible to greatly improve the appearance of the structure by including the chimney in the porch effect. The facing used is composed of marble clippings ard white cement. The surface of the block Is left rough, the marble being exposed by the steel brush. Two sizes are used in the walls and special-size blocks are cast for the porch rail. The work is laid up in alternate wide and narrow courses and is poiEted with dark-colored mortar. The heavy columns of the porch are balanced by the chimney. which is largely respon-

To Liue Long!

A recipe given by famous phy- sician for long life was: Keep the kidneys in good order! Try to elimi- nate through the skin and intestines the poisons that otherwise clog the kid- neys. Avoid eating meat as much as possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol, tea. Drink plenty of water."
 For those past middle life. for those easily recognized symptoms of inflam- nation, as backache, scalding "water," or if uric acid In the blood has caused rheumatism, rusty" joints, stiffness, get Anuric at the drug store. This is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and was discovered by Dr. Pierce of In- valids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.

Since concrete blocks have found their way into the field of home con struction the architect has been fur lishS;. w;:h 2 greatly increased range of finishing effects which may be used without involving prohibitive cost to the owner. As a first consideration. the concrete block may be made almost any shape. and novel masonry is Ob- tained without the necessity of a great deal of chipping and shaping of the blocks by the mason. It is not neces- sary to use blocks having a mOnOtony of size and shape, for all up-to-the-min- ute concrete building block manufac- turers are aware of the possibilities which their product offers, and equip ment for the casting of variety of sizes and shapes Is now installed in their plants.

sibie for the manner in which the porch seems to blend into the house design.
 Because of the rather extensive white surface of the porch and chim- ney, it is necessary that the trim be white throughout. The dark stained surface of the shingle-covered walls stands in pleasing contrast with the white surface. There are numerous special features in the exterior design. The roof is a low-gable type with flat roof formers on the sides. Rafter ends are exposed, and heavy brackets

In the career Of Israel Putnam,
"old Put" as he was famillarly known
to his contemporaries, who was born
in Salem, Mass, January Z, 171s, and
died in Brooklyn, Conn, May Is. 1870,
the imagination OF Young America has
found more stimulating food than IN
the achievements OF most OF the lead
ing generals of the revolutionary
times.
Putnam, as youth and man, was eel
ebrated for his physical strength, his
courage and his daring ingenuity in
time OF sudden peril or emergency.
There are several stories which have
been told and pictured time without
number as illustrations OF this last
named quality.
The first memorable exhibition OF
the daring OF his character was when
he pursued she wolf that had taken
refuge in long dark cave and shot
the desperate animal at close range.
Putnam vas approaching 40 years
OF age when the first engaged in mill
tary adventure. 1t was when Con-
necticut, in which state he had set
tied on fine farm, was called upon
for 1000 men to defend the northern
approaches to New York against the
anticipated French invasion.

and one of the leading members OF
the famous band of rangers that did
so much TO annoy and embarrass the
enemy during the next two years. In
his service against the French and In

his remarkable courage and endur-
