Homes that are BeautitMl, Durable,
 Fire-Sate and Economical

EOR some time now, we have, 4 through our advertising, been tell ing you that Face Brick will give you the utmost of beauty, comfort, dura~ bility and fre~safety; that it gives you these essentials of home at cost that, in few years, makes it the most economical home building material.
 We realize that it is hard for many prospective builders to appreciate these facts, because so many people have for so long believed that Face Brick house was beyond their means. Many prospective builders have been surprised and delighted to find how little more Face Brick house costs than one of less beautiful and less durable materials; and, furthermore, to find that the savings in repairs, painting, fuel costs and insurance rates more than make up for the difference in a few years.
 Depreciation is another matter that seriously effects the home~building investment, and here, too, the advantage is in favor of Face Brick. A frame house, after 10 years, is worth 2O9o less than the day it was completed; while, in the same period, the depreciation of Face Brick house is only 59o.
 All these factors make the Face Brick house the soundest investment for the home-builder. That is why we think it worth while for every pros~

pective home-builder to investigate Face Brick before he builds. c4 Building Service
 for Home Builders

We have pictures and floor plans of more than a hundred Face Brick homes, ranging from three to eight rooms and have made arrangements whereby any builder, for a nominal sum, can get the plans needed to build any one of these houses.
 All of these houses have been designed by experienced architects, who are experts in economical con- struction. The houses represent a wide variety of architectural styles. The interiors are planned to meet present. day living conditions, to include modern conveniences and to utilize the floor space to the best advantage.
 We extend cordial invitation to anyone interested in building home to come and see this unusual col lection of beautiful homes. A visit incurs no obligation on your part. We are here to serve you in any way we can.
 If it is not convenient for you to come in, send for The Story of Brick" sixty-four page illustrated booklet that tells about the merits and advantages of Face Brick; and has besides much helpful ~informa- ton for home-builders.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am fiji

friends and see a lot of each other.
This young man is my ideal in every
way. He is good looking and man
nerly and my sister says he is the best
dancer on the floor always. My sister
does not know am in love with him
II don't dare tell her because think
she must be in love with him herself.
Do you believe in prayer. Mrs.

My dear little girl. you are letting
dreams of love carry you away. Don
get it into YOUR mind that you are
hope,essIy in love. You have built an
ideal and imagine the young man to
have qualities which he does not
possess.
sHave you realized that it is dis
honorable to try to steal your sister S
sweetheart? You say that you think
she loves him, too, which should be
enough to make you conquer your
own feelings and give up hope of hav-
ing the young man for yourself.
You ask If I believe in prayer. les,
I believe that prayer has great power.
I certainly do not believe it is in
faIlible because 1t would be wrong to
let our own desires interfere with the
divine plan. Prayer, however. crystal
Lies desire and helps the person pray
ing to bring about an answer to the
prayer. In my opinion. our prayers
should be full of Thanksgiving for the
things with which we are blessed. and
not merely applications to gain more
blessings We should have faith that
what Is best for us will come about
naturally and that it is not necessary
for us to plan and ask for our bless
ings.

to the woman. She did a kindness in

Quested and you should show your
appreciation by recognizing her when
you meet. Speak to her the next time.

HATS

hATS
Men and boys wear hats for per-
lection and because other men and
boys do. vile ladies and gerls wear
them because they think they make
them look better, wich sometimes
they do.
Men buy their hats in a hat store
vile ladies get theirs in a millinery
shop to sound more Expensive witch
it is. Wen a man buys a hat he tries
it on and IL he likes it he takes it,
but wen a lady buys a hat she tries it
on and weather she likes it or not
she tries ON about 10 more and then
she don't know which one to take and
often don't. Mems hats ony have a
few shapes, but there is no shape a
lady's hat can't be and often is.
Nothing looks funnier on man
than a too big of a hat exsept too
small of a one. The ony thing that
makes a too small of a hat loolS fun
nier is wen it blows off. All hats
that blow off look funny espeshilly
wen they blow off of bald beds, on
account of making 2 things to laff at
insted of one. Proving the more the
merrier.
Hats make mca bald hedded but on
the other hand they hide their bald
beds. Proving fair Exchange is no
robbery.
Boys hats are gehrelly caps and are
useful in different ways sutch as to
play Baby in the Hat with, and to hunt
for wen you don't wunt to go on a
errand too suddinly.
