The cost of building has followed
the rise in prices Of everything else.
At the same time ingenious home de-
signers have made it possible to have
the same amour. Of accommodations
in smaller homes as. was included IN
the larger homes of generation ago.
This Is accomplished by making two
rooms serve as one. No room In any
house usually gives 24-hour service.
But by so building the home that the
living or other rooms may serve as
a bedroom. the fullest use Of the room
Is secured.
Space-saving beds, or concealed
beds as they are sometimes called,
have made It possible to get extra
efficiency from the standard rooms in
the home. In the small bungalow
shown in the illustration only four
rooms are shown. However. 1t will
be noted by the floor plan that there

Hollow Building Tile
Grows Rapidly in Favor

The strength and resultant carry
ing capacity, the comparative light
ness in weight and consequent saw
ing in structural material and the
economy and ease Of erection. COM
bined with permanence and resistance
to fire and weather, have naturally
fostered very large and constantly
growing use Of hollow building tile
for load-bearing walls. in residence
buildings, including flats and apart

and commercial purposes. In tn" for

used with stucco finish or as a back

Consider Position of
Room in Color Scheme

Harmony In decoration Is primarily
achieved through the proper blending
Of colors Nothing will make or mar
the appearance of room more surely
than the combination Of colors used
in 1t. The color scheme, therefore, is
most important and should be decid I'd
upon only after careful thought and
before the actual work of decorating
Is even approached.
The position of the room should al
ways be considered in connection with
the color scheme. A room with a dark
outlook should be treated in bright
colors, which will attract the light.
Conversely, bright room needs soft
colors to tone down the glare.

Foundations

Concrete foundation walls are Of
two general types--monolithic, con-
crete and concrete block. The mono
concrete being placed in wooden
forms. The concrete blocks are man
ufactured in the locality or in some
instances by individual block machines
owned by the home builder. Concrete
block walls are usually less expen-
but where the loads to be supported
ore exceptionally great the mono
lithic wall will be found satisfactory.

treatment you can stop the coughing
spells almost instantly and oftenrelieve
the stubbornest cough in "a hours.
This simple treatment is based on a
remarkable prescription known as DR..
Kings New Discovery for Coughs. You
simply take a teaspoonful and hold it
in your throat for IS or 20 seconds be-
fore swallowing it, without following with
water. The prescription has double action.
It not only soothcs and heals soreness and irri-
tation, but it quickly loosens and removes the

The prescription Is highly recommended for
coughs, chest colds, hoarseness and bronchitis,
and is wonderful for children's coughs and
spasmodic croup-no opiates or other harmful
drugs. Economical, too. as the dose is only one
teaspoonful. At all good druggists. Ask for
