ment.
This is a house that is a real home.
Its exterior arrangement is comfort
giving and convenient. The work of
c ing for it can be done easily and
with a minimum of labor. In exte-
riOr appearance it leaves little to be
desired. Thus in this house are COM
bined the things that every prospec-
tive home builder is looking for, but
does not always find.
Home building this year is popular,
especially in the more congested places
where there are more families than
there are places for them to live. This
condition has had much to do with
the unheard of rise in rents, and the
consequent determination of many
families to realize that greatest of
American ambitions-"own your
home"
To build a home is to acquire a
place just as you want it to be, no
matter whether or not it comedies
with someone else's idea of what a
home should be and how the rooms
should be arranged. There is a great.
er return on the money invested in a
home than the mere saving in rent
there is the satisfaction in having 9
home of your own and the pride that
goes with the ownership of the place
in which you live.
1t is not a difficult or costly matter
to build hcme. Some money is re
quired, of course. but banks, building
and loan associations and private in
vestors always are at hand to help The
provident person acquire a home. Con
tractors and material dealers also ar
ever ready TO help the prospective
builder, not only in the financing of tn,
home building project, but in the sc
lection OF plans and materials for tn,
home.
Taken from all standpoints, hom
building is good business. A home o
your own means decreased cost o
rent, and an increased amount of sav
ing.

WHAT PUZZLED THE MAJOR
Hard to Understand Why He Was
cited, in View Of Lack Of Gu
Iinary knowledge.

Homeward bound, an engineer regi-
ment which had fought the entire war
at Bordeaux was surprised to find sew
eral citations posted on the ships bull
letin boards. While this regiment had
been among the first to reach France
and It's personnel had volunteered
with the idea of going directly to the
front, they were shifted to the base
port In the summer of 1917 to build
docks and kept there during the whole
of the hostilities.
None having been sprayed with
German IT'S and all having been de-
DIED the usual avenues Of becoming
heroes, the regiment greeted the an
nouncement of the citations with a
stampede to the bulletin boards. There
It was revealed that the greater share
OF the men chosen for the honors con-
sisted of a mess sergeant and five
cooks, who had maintained a high
standard Of morale" by serving beans

There are two kinds of human habi-
tations-hOLses and homes. Houses,
as the poet has said. are merely four
walls and a roof" Homes are the
places where families really live-they
are comfortable and convenient, and
their exteriors seem to say: This is
the abiding place of happiness and
real home life"
Here is pictured a house that is a
real home. Its exterior tells the pass
erby that "this is home" 1t is only
a story-and-a-half house, but its lines
take 1t out of the 'house" class and
put 1t in a foremost rank as "home."
Few homes have a better outward
appearance than this structure. 1t is
a combination of brick and stucco, the
latter material being used in the gable
walls and in the walls of the sun par

The, cigarette is an invention Of the
American aboriglnes. 1t attained COM
mercial Importance after the Crimean
war. English officers got the habit
from association with the Turks.
French and Italians, who, like the
Indians, "rolled their own" Other
Englishmen initiated this new, smart
diversion of the army officers. Amer
lea, which, somewhere along the path
of the centuries, had almost lost the
cigarette, found it again in England,
and so it came back to us.
