space for clothing In each room. The
bathroom is convenient to each of the
bedrooms.
The basement, wherein is located the
heating plant and rooms for the stor-
age of fuel, food and other articles ex.
tends under the whole of the house,
with the exception of the living porch.
The foundation of the house is of con-
crete which is plastered inside, and
the basement has a cement floor.
From this short description it will be
understood that this home design is
modern in every respect. The rooms
are arranged with the idea of making
them convenient for the housekeeper
and comfortable and roomy for the
members of the family. At the same
time there is no waste space to pay
for when building, but there are ample
Accommodations for a family of good
size.
Such homes as the one shown are
the sort that are being erected by
home builders this year. They want

durability of materials, how the build
ing can be done at the least cost and
the various other facts that home
builders should rely on experts to
watch.
Building a home on the deferred pay
ment plan also is an exceptionally
good way to save money. After the
obligation of paying for the home is
assumed the payments will be met,
just as life insurance premiums are
paid. They are fixed obligations and
are prepared for and met.
But aside from the material side
of owning a home, there are many
sources of satisfaction for the home
owner. The first and probably the
most important is the fact that home
owner is looked upon as a substantial,
permanent member of the community
in which he lives. His family have
opportunities for social life that many
times are denied the family of the man
who rents. The home owner also takes
a greater interest in civic affairs, be-
cause he feels that he has something
at stake.
Taken from all viewpoints the build
ing of home is the best investment
the head of a family can make.

attractive, comfortable and convenient
homes, but do not want houses that
run into considerable sums Of money
and contain more room than Is nee
essary.
While it may seem to be a consider
able of an undertaking to the average
person to build home Of his own, it
really is a simple matter, both to
finance and to get the building erected.
A sum of money sufficient to insure
the bank, building and loan association
or private lender against loss is all
that is necessary to get the site and
the house. Assistance in selecting the
plan, deciding on the materials to be
used and in getting an estimate of cost
is obtainable from the local architect,
the building contractor and the materi-
al dealer. All of these men are ex-
perienced builders az know about the

Designs for homes are so numerous
and so varied that one often marvels
at the righteousness of the architects
who designed them. Practically de-
signs are different, but, at the same
time, there Is a marked similarity in
most Of them.
The home shown in the accompany
ing Illustration Is In reality one of the
most simple of architectural designs.
Yet the architect has added to 1t an
unusual living porch and has designed
an entrance of such simplicity that
combined, the porch and entrance,
make this anything but common"
house.
The main building is merely an old
fashioned gabled two-story house with
steep pitched roof. The entrance is
placed at one corner of the house and
is of the type usually found in colo
NAL homes. Triple windows in the
living room, the graceful curve Of the
roof projection over the dormer and
the shingled sides take this home out
of the ordinary. Yet 1t is one of the
most inexpensive of homes to build.
Six good rooms, a sleeping porch
and the sun parlor are shown on the
floor plan that accompanies the exterior
view. The entrance leads into stair
hall and to the right, connected with
this convenient hallway by double
cased opening is the living room, IL
feet inches, by II feet inches. At
the end of the living room is an open
fireplace, on either side of which are
built-in book cases with windows above
| them. The room is made light and
cheerful by the triple windows, large
one in the center with smaller ones

Health Notes

While we are all deadly afraid of
microbes, bacteria, etc, we live in such
a way that our bodies become deficient
In resisting power to the same germs
and when they are present we expect
in some miraculous manner to have
them expelled.
1t is a law that as much will-power
must be consciously expended in cur
ing habit, as unconsciously has been
employed in acquiring it.
1t is almost inconceivab1e that to-
day, in our civilized nation there are
still so many otherwise sensible wom-
en- who are willing to MAIN and Grip
pie their feet and suffer pain for thu
sake of wearing shoes just little too
small. or which are, as they imagine
falsely, prettier or more fashionable.
While we all want to enjoy life with
all its comforts, pleasures and happi-
ness, we are apt to forget that upon
health these all depend, and that health
is the vital principle of bliss and exer-
else of health.

on either side. Outside the windows
is a window box for summer flowers.
Connected with the living room by
second double cased opening is the
dining room, II feet inches by
13 feet. The double French doors
from the dining room lead to the living
norch. which is II feet 6 inches wide
and % feet long. This arrangement
permits of using one end of the living
porch, or sun parlor, for a breakfast
porch. The porch is enclosed with
glazed sash for winter use and screen
ed in summer. The kitchen. 8 by .

As a man eateth. so he thinketh.

Do not clog the system by an over
supply of food. Never eat unless hun

food because it has been recommended

as Is relished. Be temperate in eating

When the public seemed to be firing

career of greatness with "Waverley.'
