A Four-Room House with Two Bed Rooms

This little home can be built at very mod crate cost.
 It occupies a ground space of only 26 feet by 28 feet but it is very convenient and desirable dwelling in spite of it's com pactness:
 The living room is extra large to permit of its use as dining room also. However, small families may prefer to make use of the delightful little breakfast alcove for their meals under ordinary conditions
 "'lt-ln equipment throughout this house enables remarkable convenience to be ob- tained, the genius of the architect having tri- umphed over the handicap of limited space.
 A visitor to this dwelling would receive the impression of roominess, and the cozy and convenient interior arrangement pre- sents real home atmosphere.

Why Coke Is Good Fuel.

Coke does not give quite as much
heat per ton as high grade anthra-
cite coal; but in many instances the
average grade Of coke is available at n
lower cost per ton than high grade
anthracite, and as n special induce
ment some dealers give II few hundred
pounds extra per ton of coke. In this
case the purchaser of ton of coke
will realize about the same efficiency
In total heat units ms If he had pw
chased n ton OF anthracite. says the
Scientific American.
Coke weighs about % pounds per
cubic foot for standard size. while
anthracite coal weighs 80 pounds perj
cubic foot. 1t Will. therefore, be seen1
that ton Of coke will require almosi|
twice the volume or cubic feet Of stor-'

Indirect Lighting Is Best
for the Eyes

Not long ngo we substituted the
electric and gas light for the old-fnsh-
lOned coal oil lamp. We think we
have wonderful lighting systems. Ac-
cording to Forrest Knapp of Colorado
Agricultural college. the glare due to
the use of the incandescent lamp Is
so great that 1t may counteract all
Of the good effects of Increased In
tensity Of illumination. Did you ever
notice any discomfort from having an
electric light In your field of vision?
Do your eyes become tired more easily
at night thnn In the day time?
There nre two main ways In which
modern lighting Is done, directly and
Indirectly. With Indirect lighting the
source of illumination cannot be seen
hut the light is reflected from tie
walls and ceiling. but when direct
lighting is used the source may be
seen. The latter Is the more common
II our eyes hurt we get larger
globe and move 1t closer to our work
Theoretically this should be done. But
how about experience?
1t has been proved that nfter three
hours work the efficiency of the eye
Is but little less when indirect light
ing Is used. The efficiency of the eye
after three hours work in daylight is
about oS per cent. When an indirect
light Is used the efficiency is about
% per cent. Not much difference.
But when direct lighting is used this
efficiency drops to about 10 per cent
The intensity of illumination has
little effect when indirect lighting is
used, but very great effect when
the source of light is in the field OF
vision. The number of Indirect lights
does rot decrease the efficiency to
any noticeable degree but when direct
lighting Is used the efficiency drops
rapidly with an increase in the num-
her of lighting units.
