HOME BUILDING AS.
&. AN ART

The essential, In the art of home
building is the ability to suit your
own taste-to express your own ma
ture. Your tastes may not all coin
eide with that of your neighbor, but
that is not important. There are as
many individual expressions of the
art that is within one as there kare
leaves on a tree, and there is no good
reason why the expression of the in
dividual should not continue IN the
home itself -
Imagine what thrilling adventure
in human nature all of US might have
in the course of a day spent in MAX
ing calls if our neighbors and ac-
quaintances only allowed their souls
and minds to express themselves in
the houses they build and furnish. 1t
is not hard to imagine such an adj
venture, for about everyone has seen
one such home. But these are by nc
means frequently found.
For peoples characters do show in
their homes-n the architecture OF
the dwelling, the decorations within
the selection OF the furniture, even
in the pictures and the way they are
hung.
To persons who are not especially
observant this fact is as plain as the
fact one can always detect the pres
ence of feminine fingers in the ar
rangement Of the bric-a-brac, the
flowers or vase on the stand, or the
books and magazines on the library
table. The thing is so palpably hui

TILES FOR FLOOR
And MANTELS-


For mante1 pieces and floors, tiles
have always been sought. and for
these there are many developments.
In Detroit a church pavement has
been made which is a beautiful ex-
ample of what the newer art is do
ing in this regard. Each design was
made with careful reference to the
effect of the whole, and carries sym
bolic significance. For the floor of
the capitol at Harrisburg, Pa, there
is used a new kind of CLAY mosaic"
The tiles sor blocks are made by
cutting the parts of the design from
different colored clays and uniting
these by means of a broad outline, of
cement, which takes much the part
of the lead lines in stained glass. The
method itself imparrs a decorative
quality to the design SO used.
Among interior designs for mafltel
facings are friezes and panelings
which become in some instances quite
pictorial, yet hold well within the ne
cessities of decorative design. These
show landscape effects, flights of
birds and the like. While when care
fully placed they are very effective
and beautiful, judgment is needed in
placing them in appropriate relation
to other decorations.
The design is included in a slightly
raised outline and the glazes are
painted over the parts enclosed. Such
tiles, or series of them, are so plan

BRIDGE BURNED :
ON CENTRAL new
ENGLAND ROAD

Simsbury, Nov. 19-Passengers on
trains over the Central New England
railroad between Hos4ins and Tariff
Vile, on the line to Hartford. were
being transferred around the gap in
the trestle over the meadows which
was caused last night by a fire. This
bridge over the river was not burned
About SO feet Of the wooden trestle
on the approach was burned, but the
supporting spiles apparently are in
tact. Two gangs of workmen were
set at work last midnight to throw
timbersl across the bap, and as soon
as the work is finished rails will be
relaid and traffic will be resumed.
The fire Is thought to have started
from grass fire which itself was
probably ignited by engine sparks. AS
there>is no bridge watchman the fire
crept to the trestle before it was no
ticed.
The small blaze In the freight yard
here was among some rubbish at a
switch and was probably caused by
engine sparks. Railroad men regard
ed 1t as insignificant.
The two fires had no connection.
Grass fires have been common during
the last two weeks and one in brush
in Grandby has spread over consider
able land.

TAX COLLECTOR
OF BRISTOL HELD
in $4,000 BONDS

Bristol, Nova 20-Edward L. Car
rington, former tax collector, was
held for the superior court today on
the charge of embezzlement of law
full moneys from the city of Bristol.
Judge Mink placed the bond at 3d.
900, which Darlington provided.
The auditors, who have been going
over the tax collectors books, made
their report. The shortage of Car
rington was placed at IS, 412.93. Last
week Darlington turned over $1,000
in cash and securities of a face value
of between $4,000 and $1,000. He
also released equity in real estate to
the amount Of $4,000. The city
treasurer has sold sufficient securities
to liquidate the shortage and will turn
over the balance to Darlington, with
the real estate. The auditors point
out that there was no Justification of
the books. The cash was simply
taken and no return was made to the
treasury. It will not be Necessary
to make demand on the bonding
company that furnished the collectors
bond.

OF HOUSE
SHOULD BE REGULATED

A properly heated house is one
whose temperature can be regulated
to suit the weather conditions To do
this 1T must be possible to heat all
parts inthe coolest weather to tenn
perature Of IS degrees to 81 degrees.
It is easy to shut off too great heat,
but difficult to get up the extra tenn
perature if the furnace is not large
enough.
The most common mistake is to in
stall a heating plant too small for the
house, thus wasting coal by forced
drafts It is cheaper to install a plant
a trifle too large than one too small.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
 FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex- tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten2 The reason is plain-the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturers This applies more particularly to medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says, Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend. for in almost every case it shows excellent re suits, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that 1 know of has so large sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmers' Swamp-Root Is due to the fact that, so many people claim, 1t fulils al- most every wish in overcoming kidney liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur- mary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address Dr. kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.
