this kind. 1t win be noted that doors
open into 1t from both the living and
dining rooms, so that one end-that

good-sized bedrooms. the bathroom

forts that the American family wants,
and also have combined these COM
forts and conveniences with exterior
beauty. However, what appeals to
one prospective builder will not appeal
to another, and by securing large
number of designs practically every
individual will find just about the
sort of home he has visualized as be-
ing the kind he wants.
To secure BODYBUILDING ideas a
visit to the local architect, the lumber
and material dealer, and the contrac-
tor who will be asked to bid on the
building job will be worth while. These
building specialists all have available
a wide range of homes, both perspec-
tive view and floor plans. With these
plans before them, prospective build
ers will be able to select the home that
meets his requirements and can be
built for the amount of money he
wants to invest. But In going over
these plans 1t will surprise anyone
how much real enjoyment he will get.
Home building now is popular be-
cause 1t Is the best and practically the

RUSSIANS HIT BY FAMlNES
Shortages Of Food Date From 1000
100000 Persons Reduced to Star
walton in Famine of 1911.

Next to the proletariat of India and
China, the Russian peasant feels the
pinch of poverty and hunger more
keenly and more frequently than any
other, says the National Geographic
society. One of the earliest Russian
famines on record was that of 1900,
with a death toll of 100000 peasants.
Cats, dogs and rats were eaten, and
even the strong overcame the weak
Human flesh was sold in the markets.
Three Russian famines of recent
date were among the most severe in
history-in 1891, 1906 and 1911. Dur
ing the ten years following the first
of these, the government allotted
nearly 1925, 100000 for relief, but the
sums were not always judiciously ex-
pended. In 1905 the government gave
40 pounds of flour a month to all per-
sons under eighteen years old and over
fifty-nine Those between these ages
received no allowance, and the older
and younger sharded their pittance
with the others.
The famine of 1911 extended over
one-thrd the area of Europe and af-
fected 100000 persons, while s.
100000 were reduced TO starvation.
Weeds, the bark of trees, and hitter
bread made of acorIs, constituted
the chief diet.

or some one of the various sheathing
materials designed for this type of
home. Being rectangular in shape, it
is the least expensive to construct.
But by the addition of the sun parlor
at one side, and the garage at the
other, 1t has a well-balanced, attrac-
tive appearance, enhanced by the pan
eled effect in the gable.
The dimensions of this house are
only 26 by SO feet, but it requires lot
so feet or more wide, as the sun par
lor projects 10 feet at one side and
the garage 20 feet at the other. How
ever, the garage may be located at the
rear of the house, or may be smaller,
as this was designed to hold two cars.
The advantage of having the garage
adjoining the house is that the heat
ing plant in the home may be used to
warm the garage, which is well to do
as it prolongs the life of the tires and
makes the machine available at all
times.
While the home as shown in the IL
lustration is set on brick foundation
concrete may be used. The basement
extends under the whole of the house
including the sun parlor. The size OF
the basement provides plenty of space
