There are many possible ways of lay

and the subject is now matter Of i'm
portance with both the architect and
builder.
This greater flexibility of architectu-
raj expression which is possible IN
brick construction, as, has been said,
seems to be logical explanation OF
the increased popularity Of brick
porches. There is the fact, also, that
the addition of a brick porch to a
house which needs a touch Of modern
ism, gives a tangible increase Of value
to the property which is very accept
able In case of sale.
The brick porch is not, however, to
be considered as merely means by
which old houses may be mOdernlzed.
The new house design may call for a
brick porch which will be one Of the
most attractive features Of the exte-
rior. 1t is usually the case, when this
type porch is used on the new house,
that the foundation walls above grade
are built up Of brick also. This In

CHINESE ARE BEGINNING TO
PAY ATTENTION TO HYGIENE
As a Result, Country VIII Soon Be
Greatest Market for Proprietary
Medicines, Says Uncle Sam.

China will soon be the greatest mar
ket in the world for proprietary medl-
cines, according to bulletin issued by
Uncle Sans bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce of the department
of commerce, to call the attention Of
American manufacturers to the advan-
tages of getting a good foothOld in the
market at once.
"Hygiene is practically unknown
among the Chinese" the report states,
"and the sickness and suffering to
which the masses are subject on ac-
count of the lack of efficient native
remedies or treatment Is probably
greater than in any other country.
This is especially true of all varieties
of skin diseases, against which no ma
tive salves or blood tonics seem eff
fective."
Ten years ago the proprietary medi-
cine trade in China was hardly
worth mentioning, although foreigners
had been laboring for 20 years or
more to develop it, but immense strides
have been made since then and ample
profits have been realized. The trade,
however, is still in its infancy.
Through judicious and persistent ad-
vertlsing the natives are gradually be-
ing educated to the necessity of pay
ing some intelligent attention to their
ailments and are responding remark
ably well. For this reason it is not
difficult to introduce a good article at
a reasonable price, if supported by the
right kind of advertising.

OIL YIELD NEVER GETS LESS
For Fifty Years the Supply Has Shown
Steady Increase, Uncle Sans
Figures Show.

Included in the Industrial and COM
mercial statistics recently issued by
Uncle Sam through the department of
commerce, and covering the activities
Of the year 1916, is the statement that
the petroleum yield Of the United
States last year was 292,300,000 bar
rels, an increase over the previous
year of 100000 barrels. During the
last five years with each successive
year there has been an increase In the
yield Of petroleum in the United
States, and an increase in the world
yield, unless there has been check
to the production in Russia during the
period of the war.
This continual increase in the yield
of stored oils is one Of the greatest
marvels of nature. At a rough calcu-
lation the quantity Of oil that has
flowed from the subterranean reser-
voirs during the last twenty years
would, If flooded into surface basin,
constitute lake more than 100 miles
long, ten miles wide and forty feet in
uniform depth. There Is talk contin-
ually to the effect that we shall newt
ably use up this vast stored supply
before many more decades pass, and In
answer to this prophecy the world
yield continues to increase year by
year instead Of decreasing. New oil
fields are continually being located.

ground, the rotting effect of moisture IL
eliminated. In case an outside chin
ney is used, the effect Is pleasing In
that all of the brickwork is connected
by the foundation walls.
The house shown In the accompany
Ing Illustrations Is of frame construc-
tlon, having the sides finished with
beveled siding and the hip roof broken
up With small dormers. The porch,
foundation walls above grade and
chimney are built Of brick trimmed
with white stone. In carrying out the
decorative scheme for the exterior, ac-
count should be taken of this fact so
that the wooden part OF the house VIII
harmonize with the brlckwork. This
will probably require that the house
be trimmed in wiite, but the body color
Will depend somewhat upon the kind OF
brick selected.
A novel decorative feature Is OBJ
tained In the rail of the porch by lay
ing up the brick in checker-bOard fash
lon, the surface being divided Into
squares formed by placing brick with
their faces together in groups Of three,
adjacent squares having the brick
placed at right angles. Panels are
formed by bordering double horizon
tai row of these squares with single
course of straight-laid brick. The stone
coping Is placed above the upper bor-
der and Il stone sill below the lower
border.
There are two entrances to the house
from the street. One is from the
front porch and the other is by q
side stoop leading to the kitchen. The
front door is placed near the end OF
the porch. 1t opens into little vestibule
off of which large closet fitted with
shelf and providing generous space
for wraps is built. French doors lead
to the living room. At the far end
of this room is bay in which three
windows are placed. These windows,
together with one front window and
the glazed doors, provide an abun-
dance Of light in the living room. 1t
is certain that If this is to be made
the pleasant part of the house which Is
should be, there must be plenty of
windows to make the room naturally
bright and cheerful.
French doors are placed between
the living room and the dining room.

To Prevent Old Age

'Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown

ing room. This kitchen is arranged
with convenience as the discriminating
factor. There are three windows and
a glazed door to brighten the room.
Beneath the two windows in the rear
walls there is work table at one
end of which is placed the sink and
along the wall at the other end of
which the cupboard is built. Plenty of
space is provided for a gas stove and
range along the other wall. A handy
little closet with shelves on two sizes
opens off of the kitchen near the dining
room door.
The other side of the House is
reached from the little hall which Is
entered from the dining room. There
are two bedrooms, each Of which Is
provided with a large closet. The
front bedroom is especially well fitted
with exceptionally large closet lighted
with single window. The bath room
Is placed between the kitchen and the
rear bedroom. 1t is fitted with built
in medicine case and a clothes chute.
This latter feature is a great con-
venience and saves many steps, since 1t
is very handy to the bedrooms. There
Is a linen closet at the head Of the
hall. The basement, entered from the
other end of the hall, may be divided
off into a furnace room, laundry and
vegetable room. The laundry should be
placed at the rear Of the house so that
the articles thrown into the clothes
chute may be caught In this room.

all interested, he will then be forced
to go into a lengthy discourse on just
how that touch of blush gray blends
in with the graded browns In each
brick and how the effect is further
brought out by the "texture"-well'
before the appearance Of the brick is
fully realized, the sample from the
building material dealers stock has
passed the rounds and even then the
story is only half told.
The man who used to build the old
type "brick" buildings didn't find much
inspiration In his work. 1t didn't make
much difference how well he did his
work, the appearance was about the
same in every case. That condition
is changed somewhat now. The ma
son today has the chance to show
something of his work. The beauty Of
color and texture found in the brick
itself calls for a harmonizlng scheme
which will bring out the beauty

Leather for shoe manufacturing pur-
poses comes under two broad classifi-
cations, upper leather and sole leath-
er, these, as their names imply being
used respectively for the sole and the
other portions of the shoe. The upper

Calfskin comes in various finishes, pat

principally as the base for patent

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how 20 dry
up a corn or callus so It lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as 1t
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.
