Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1917-06-22
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Because of reduced insurance rates,
the fact that the interior is warmer in
winter and cooler in summer, lower
maintenance costs because deprecia-
ton is very low and painting is a
negligible expense, and the permanent
fresh and bright appearance of its
walls, the face brick house has as
sumed an important place among mod
ern residences. Architects and build
ers have worked in unison to make
possible the adaptability of face brick
to the construction of the smaller as
well as the larger houses.
There are several standard methods
of building houses with a face brick
exterior wall surface. The two main
divisions are those of the solid wall
of burned clay material and the wall
of some load-bearing backing material
or frame of structural members over
the outer surface of which a veneer
of face brick is built up, this veneer
being tied to the structure by means
of metal wall ties, cut nails or some

and alfalfa so valuable as food for
growing stock. We will soon be eat
ing and appreciating alfalfa bread, as
it is being more used for human food.
Vegetables are appetizers, for ex-
ample, the onion, garlic, chives, pars-
ley and celery. The woody fiber being
indigestible, serves as a brush In the
alimentary canal to carry along all
waste and excite peristaltic action.
Vegetables, because of their bulk, sat
isfy hunger without Over-feeding. In
their service as a broom to the body,
they keep the system cleansed, beau
tifyfng the complexion and removing
all waste that clogs the skin and pro-
duces sallow, muddy complexions.
The proper cooking of vegetables is
another Important thing to bear in
mind. All vegetables when cooked
should be put on to cook in boiling
water. Salt may be added to. those
vegetables that are not toughened by
its use, for example, potatoes and 9TH
er flbrous root vegetables. Too long
cooking, especially of such delicately
favored vegetables as asparagus will
dissolve the flavor and send it out with
steam, so both nourishment and flavor
will be lost. Leftover green vegeta-
bles, or in fact any kind Of vegetable,
makes a good cream soup. Asparagus,
string beans, tomatoes in any form,
and celery with onion all make most
| delicious salads.
A garden containing all the crisp
vegetables used for salads and as
many others as the space allows will
be a constant source of delight all the
summer and fall. Pumpkins and
squashes, as well as cucumbers and
melons will all climb on the back yard
fence and take up little room on the
ground. Planting beans with corn
saves space and gives the beans some
thing to climb upon.
Tender young carrots cooked in as
little water as possible so that every
bit of the mineral matter is saved anC

Floor Plan.

The cost of this type of construction
is, of course, closely comparable with
that of the solid wall construction,
there being a difference only in the
saving made possible by the number of
face brick replaced by the common
brick or tile, in the veneer construc-
ton.
The veneer construction consists of
the type already mentioned, a face
brick wall surface over sheathed wood
framing and over braced wood framing
without the sheathing. The two types
of construction just mentioned are
probably the most widely used Of any
in residences. The larger houses are
built with the sheathed wood frame
while the braced wood frame construc-
tion is specially adapted to the small
er houses and cottages where the cost
of building is the most important item.
The time when it was considered
necessary for a special gang of men to
come on the job to lay the brick is
rapidly passing. The man who is tax

in two tablespoonfuls of sweet drip
pings then add the meat, four pounds
of the round makes a most delicious
water to keep from scorching. Cook
at least two or three hours, when a
fine gravy will be formed and the onion
will all have disappeared. A can of to-
matoes with two chopped boiled car
rots will be an addition to the gravy, or
if one likes a sour gravy tablespoon
full Of vinegar added gives zest to the
dish.
Beef Tongue With Raisins.-So far
raisins are one of the good things that
haven't jumped into the high prices,
though any day they may be beyond
reach. Wash a fresh beef tongue and
place in a kettle with a teaspoonful
of salt and boiling water to cover. Sim
mer very gently one hour. Remove
and take off the skin, trimming the
roots carefully. Place in a casserole

slowly. An hour before serving add a
cupful of seeded raisins, one-half a
tumbler of currant jelly and more wa
ter If needed. Just before serving,
thicken the sauce with two tablespoon
fuls Of flour, wet to paste with water.
Cook long enough to cook the starch.
Macaroni With sausage.-Put lay
ers Of cooked macaroni in a buttered
dish and alternate with layers of
cooked leftover sausage, hamburger
steak or other chopped meat, add some
good beef gravy or if none is at hand
cupful of rich white sauce. A few
tablespoonfuls of tomato puree add
variety to the dish.
String beans, peas and asparagus, if
boiled in an open saucepan, will have
better color. Cabbage, onions and
turnips will not scent the house if
cooked uncovered, as the steam and
>odor passes off without combining un-

ing progressive part in the building
field today calls himself a general
contractor" and he Is ready to execute
any kind of construction work which
may be asked of him. This change
works to the advantage of the home
builder since it eliminates lost motion,
expensive mistakes, and makes one
man accountable for the entire JOB.
The live contractor and builder is
ready to erect residence according to
any of the different types of construc-
ton mentioned.
There is little basis for any man
giving up the idea of building brick
house because of cost, if he is able to
build house at all, for an intelligent
selection of the design together with
the use of the least expensive type OF
construction, will give him a house
which has everything to be desired in
external appearance in addition to all
of the qualities inherent in this kind
of house, making for comfort and low
| living expense. 1t is not necessary to
| spend large sum of money in decora-
| tiOns in order to have a beautiful
home. These little fancy fittings and
| special trim are the things which run
up the cost needlessly in a house
which would doubtless look just as
well without the extras" Judgment
is also necessary in the selection OF
the plan for a low-cost house. The
number and shape of rooms affect the
price of construction. By properly Sc
! lecting the finish given the interior
walls, floors and trim, it is possible to
obtain a refined and dignified interior
which is fully up to any reasonable
standard, without the use of an eX
pensive layout of rooms. Small corner
seats and simple bookcases may be
used to add the touch of variety which
costs more in the form of bays, alcoves
and fancy trim.
The illustrations show the externa
appearance and the plan of a simple
but very substantial-built cottage Of
five rooms. The house is a framed
structure with a veneer of face bricl
on the outside. Sheathing may b'
used or not, as desired. Wall sur
faces are not large in this house ant
there will be no difficulty in keeping
very cozily heated during the coldes
weather, even if the sheathing is omit
ted. Foundation walls need not b,
extra thick for this type of buildin

SPRING BLOSSOMS.
@ hAQY GRAHAIN!. !.!,! !. BONNER J!

"Oh, the glorious forsythia bushes
are out" called Nancy to Nick as they
were playing in a small park near
their home. The day before the for
sythia bushes had been in bud but
today they were out, and how wonder
fully they did look!
They told Daddy all about them
when they got home and Daddy said,
81 must tell you a story about the for
sythia bushes"
"Hurrah," shouted the children.
''There was once, many years ago,
an argument going on between the
leaves and the flowers of the forsythia
bushes.
"'You are so gorgeous said the
Leaves to the lovely Yellow Flowers
which are indeed like bursts of sun
shine.
"Thank you,' said the Yellow Flow
ers.
"'You didn't have to say that said
the Leaves. we didn't mean it in
kindly spirit at ALL
"'Oh,' said the Yellow Flowers and
dropped a little.
"'You see all the other Leaves are
welcomed by the people. Everyone is
happy to see the Leaves come out on
the trees
"'Of course said the Yellow Flow
ers. THAT is only natural. It means
that spring is here. Aren't you glad

eyes said the Leaves. But they
are not happy about u.s.
"'Why? asked the Yellow Flowers.
"Because,' answered the Leaves as
they shook little with annoyance and
anger, the people are not happy about
US as they do not notice u.s.
"'Oh Leaves, they must!" said the
Yellow Flowers.
/, "'No, they DON'T said the Leaves
shaking their heads.
"'Are you sure?' asked the Flowers
"'Quite,' said the Leaves.
"Just then the Fairy Queen came
along. She was wearing her gown OF
pale green which she wears in the
early spring and in her hair was q
crown of gold made from the forsythis
blossoms.
"'Ah, Fairy Queen said the yellow
Flowers. "You have done us grea

honor to wear the crown we sent you.
We are very grateful And the Flow
ers bobbed their pretty, bright yellow
heads.
"The leaves said nothing. They saw
that the Fairy Queen was wearing
gown made out of spring leaves and
that their leaves were among the diff
ferent kinds. But they were annoyed
with the Yellow Flowers Of the for
sythia bushes.
"'You don't look happy, Leaves said
the Fairy Queen. What is the trou-
BILE?
"1t's very annoying said the
Leaves. Each time anyone passes
here they speak Of the glorious flowers
of the forsythia bushes and they never
speak Of the leaves. Now other leaves
are appreciated in the spring. ALI
except usP
"'How foolish you are, Leaves said
the Fairy Queen. You are jealous of
the joy that these gorgeous bright
blossoms give. They only last for a
little time-whereas you have long
summer ahead of you. And you know,
full well, that we love leaves and
green things. But the forsythia bios
SONS are here for such a short time.
Aren't you ashamed?
'"The Leaves hung their heads and
said, Forgive US Fairy Queen. We
never thought Of it in just that way =
"T know you didn't said the Fairy
Queen. But will tell you what ]
will do. Every year, from now on,
when spring comes and it is time for
the forsythia blossoms to be out-you
will act like many of the other trees
and bushes that have blossoms first
You will not come out with the bios
SONS. But you will come out after.
"Then there will be no chance fol
you to be jealous and everyone can en-
joy these lovely yellow flowers with
out dropping little leaves looking cross
and very unlike springtime.'
"And SO, from that day to this, the
forsythia blossoms have come out frs
Of all and when thier blooming is over
the leaves take their places. And the
Fairy Queen had this rule made fol
all the trees and shrubs with bios
SONS. Then the Leaves gave pleasure
afterward while the pretty flowers fol
their little while gave happiness.
"And this rule has lasted all thest
years, and it was made so long agC
that no one can remember just when.

Eatted Calf Is a Sheen.

Syria is probably the only country
wherein the fatted calf is still-meta-
phorically speaking-killed. 1t comes
about in this way: Each family Sc
lects from its flock a particularly fine
sheep, has it sheared and brought into
the house at the beginning of winter.
1t is washed and most carefully kept
while being fattened with selected
food. So overfed is the animal that
the owner helps it work its tired jaws
during masticatiOn in order to COM
plete the fattening process. When
some distinguished visitor arrives, or
some great event transpires, the sheep
is killed. AS the Syrian people eat
only fresh-killed meat, never refrige-
rated meat, the entire animal must at
once be disposed of-cooked-so it
can be stored for future consumption.

solid clay, gravel or other confined and
non-settling soil. The foundation wall
in this house should be one foot thick
at the bottom of which there should be
a footing two feet wide and one foot
thick. Architects and contractors who
prepare plans, proportion the footings
so that there will be an equal pressure
on every square foot so that if settling
does occur it will be equal in all parts
Of the building, thus preventing cracks
in the brickwork.
After the framing of the house is
completed the outside veneer of face
brick is commenced. The porch wall
coping and the window sills through
| out the house are made of white stone,
concrete or terra Gotta. The windows,
cornice and other wood trim are paint
ed white, which, together with the
white stone copings and sills and the
white porch column ornaments, form
a pleasant contrast with the walls.
The house can be built on a 30-foot
lot with room for d walk around to
the rear and sufficient space at the
sides so that if the neighboring lots
are built on, the light can get in the
side windows Easement windows
and screen sash may be made inter
changeable for the front porch or tht
easement windows may be permanent
ly attached and the screens placed OF
the outside, these being replaced il
the winter by storm sash, making pos
sible the use of the porch as a SUI
parlor.
The plan provides a combination iv
ing and dining room separated by ;
wall in which there is large caset
opening. The kitchen has a hand,
pantry attached. A notable feature il
the arrangement of rooms is the bed
room, bath and hall combination. Thi
makes for privacy, which is very de
sirable thing where all rooms are OF
one floor.

The solid wall construction is made
up either of face brick backed with
common brick or with face brick
backed with structural tile. The solid
wall construction runs slightly higher
in cost than the veneer, as a general
rule. This statement should be modi-
fed, perhaps, to include cases L. which
the face brick are really laid as a
veneer over the common brick or struc-
tural tile backing, the only connection
between the two being the ties men,
