Concrete for BUILDING,

Concrete is good building mate
rial or 1t is not and this win depend
upon the materials used and the way
they are handled. When properly
made concrete is the best known
building material but care is needed
In the making. Cement blocks are
manufactured and offered for sale in
very many communities which are
not only practically worthless for per-
mahent construction, but some of
them are positively dangerous. The
chief reason for this lies In the fact
that they are mixed too dry in order
to take the molds or they are too
poor in cement or both. Such blocks
absorb moisture readily and rapidly
and soon begin to crumble. Use
plenty Of good cement and mix very
wet and the blocks will be waterproof
and lasting as the ages.-Exchange,
