Anti Tuberculosis Societies Plan Sale
Of One Million Dollars Worth of
Red Cross Christmas Seals.

Three hundred million Red Cross
Christmas seals are being printed in
Cincinnati for the annual holiday cam
paign to be conducted under the joint
auspices of the American Red Cross

S0.O00,000 seals, bringing in 100000, it
is expected that this year at least 1O0,-
100000 seals or 81 100000 worth will

Der of the western states, including
Montana, Utah and Wyoming. Distri-

Sast number of building materials
which are today open for the selec-
ton of the perspective builder have
eliminated the necessity of holding to
some few types of construction, and
when any particular material selection
is made It represents the personal
preference of the owner, who may be
inclined to judge either from a stand
point of appearance or utility.
A wise selection of materials will,
however, necessitate the basis of judg-
ment upon a desire for both beauty and
permanence. The home is usually
considered as something permanent
and must be built TO meet this require
ment. This does not imply that every
home should be constructed of solid
stone masonry. for proper construc-
tor methods ana a reasonable atten-
tiol, to maintenance will give a wooden
structure long life. Some people do
not object to the occasional trouble
OF r~epainting a frame house and are
inclined toward this type because of
the possibility which IL offers for treat
ment in various color combinations.
Others prefer the type which, IL once
erected needs no further attention and
caC bs relied upon to hold Its original
appearance for q long period Of years.

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. 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
The idea of permanence in house
construction dates back to a period
which had passed long before the ex-
istence of the new world was ven
thought of. 1t is very probable that
other considerations We're of govern
ing importance at that Time and the
quality of permanence was obtained
more as q matter of necessity than
as a matter of desire. The materials

the early days We're the materials

the least possible necessity of any

day be termed a manufacturing opera
ton. 1t was early found that if stones
having fat faces were gathered in suffi-
cient quantities they could be piled
n on top of the other with some
form of plastic material to fill the
cracks, and the resulting wall could be
built to form an enclosure with a rough
covering of thatch, animal skins or
even huge slabs of stone. Thus it
happened hat the natural way was
also a permanent way to construct
houses.
In every age since it's advent into
the field of building materials stone
has found a place, if reasonable facil-
tiles for using it have been at hand
and a sufficient supply obtainable. At
the present time it is used in a much
different sense than it originally was
found necessary to consider it. The

The happy medium" is found in a
house built partly or some material
which may be considered as included
in the first class and partly of some
more endurable material which falls
into the second class. Even then the
selection is not q limited one, for there
are many pleasing combinations of the
natural and manufactured stones with
the various forms of wooden material.
A design is illustrated which may be
placed in the happy medium" class.
The exterior of this substantial story
ard-a-half home is finished in rough
natural stone up to the tops Of the
first floor windows, from which it is
carried up with shingles under the
gables. The chimneys are of brick
capped with rough stone. The broad,
gracefully sloping roof is shingled. The
rafters have their ends exposed n
the projecting ends of the purlins are
supported by heavy triangular brack-
cts. A large number of windows
break up the wall surface and add to
the general finished appearance of the
exterior. The useful porch, set back
under the roof, with its solid stone col
urnns, is a pleasant feature. The en-
tire exterior is well balanced and can
be made very beautiful by properly
trailing vines and planting shrubs.

rooms of the house n is impressed

upon viewing the exterior. Good sub
stantial construction Is evident in
every detail. The door leading from
the front porch admits the observer
into a hall from which the stair to
the second floor leads off to the right.
A feature of this hall is the long seat
built along the wall next to the stair
| case. This seat will be found very
convenient and may be built to hold a
large quantity of stored books or
music in it's lower part, thus relieving
the living room of the clutter of this
material.
On the left of the hall, through a
Cased opening, is the large living
room. The fireplace is seen against
the opposite wall upon entering, Ex-
posed timbers in the ceiling finish arc
in keeping with the general plan.
Three large and four smaller windows
furnish ample light for this room. At
the rear of the living room are two
handy tiers of bookcases built into the
distinctive entrance to the dining
room.
This dining room is really a model
Of colonial design. Exposed timbers
cut the ceiling up into large and small
panels, furnishing the possibility Of

the entire end wall of the room. Three
easement windows are placed over this
buffet and three more windows Of
larger size are set into the other wall.
Double doors are placed in the en-

hall, and a double-acting door leads to
the kitchen. s
The culinary department is made up
Of a generous-sized kitchen, a particu-
larly handy pantry, and the rear porch,
which may be considered an extra
room during the warm part of the
year. The refrigerator is arranged
TO be iced from the outside. Every
convenience is included in the design
of this part of the house.
The second floor is well arranged
and contains several interesting fea-
lures. A large hall is centrally located,
from which all of the rooms on this
floor, and the stairs to the first floor,
may be reached. Two large bedrooms
are placed on either side Of the hall.
Each has a dressing room, two clos.
cts and a little nook attached 10 it.
A sleeping porch is built at the for
ward end OF the hall and the bath Is
placed at the real end of the hall.
These sleeping quarters are capable
of providing perfect comfort for a
large family.
The type of house illustrated In this
design is a very good one for the aver.

and more into use because Of its
finished materials and general utility.

Roofing

takes Its place in the sun" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts,
and coated with a blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process SO
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by The General"
is the result of long experience Ii produces
a roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
At each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
ties, and blend the asphalts used; also to expert
ment for possible Improvements. Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.
The quality of CERTA TED is such that
it is guaranteed for 5, 10 or Is years, according
to thickness q, 2 or 3 ply. Experience proves
that il, lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility of the worlds largest manufac-
turer of roohngs and building papers.
