Consider your health when you
plant to modcrni2e your old homel' -
This bit of advice for those plan
ming to bring their dwellings up tn
1880 standards does not come from
the medical profession, although its
members have been offering similar
council for years. 1t comes from
representatives of several building
and loan associations. who recently
attended large meeting of lumber
dealers and contractors i'll the
Middle West.
From the viewpoint Of the loan
associations. tie advice is selfish,
hut selfish only because they pre-
fer to have home builders meet
their loan payments promptly rath-
er than lag or default through in
ability to pay. The association rep
reSentatiVes pointed out that over a
period of years they had found that
perhaps the most frequent reason for
home builders failing to meet loan
payments was unexpected sickness
with its attendant medical bills.
Reduces Sickness
Desiring, if possible, to reduce
this hazard to themselves and their
clients, the association made a
CAREFUL survey which disclosed an
interesting fact. They discovered
that payment defaults because %
sickness occurred least frequently
among families living in homes hav-
ing properly insulated walls and
roofs and adequate, efficient heat
ing plants The reason for this.

HOME BUILDERS PAGE
Many Helpful Hints for Home Owners of Imperial Valley
ADEQUATE INSULATION MAKES OLD
DWELLINGS HEALTHY TO LIVE IN

they declared, IS that properly in
sulated homes arc easy and ccono-
mical to keep comfortably heated
during the eoldest weather; conse-
quently. ordinary types of winter
sickness are reduced to 4 minimum
and unexpected medical bills are
exceptional
Too many home owners fail TO
take such construction details as
insulation into consideration when
they plan to moderniZe their dwell
ings Thinking only Of the external
appearance OF their homes. they
fail to realize that methods OF home
construction have progressed far
in the last ten years. Ten reNrs
ago insulated homes were tn cN-
ception: today they ares the rule.
Health and comfort. of course. are
two reasons for this change. An
other is fuel saving. \ nation.ily
known heating equipment manufac-
turer as long ago as 1872 pointed
out, after making tests with Cello
tex. cane fibre insulating board,
that if people would insalatc th':e
homes they would, ON the avcra Lc.
cut their fuel bills mo.c thaa -
per cent.
Fortunately the use Of lu.l1ine
insulation is not confined To new
dwellings, There are several effcc-
tive ways in which old houses can
be insulated. In all cases the first
place 10 be insulated should be the
roof because il is here that the
greatest saving can be effected.
Insulation board can hc applied To
the under side Of the roof raftrrs at
small expense and without disturb
ing the remainder of the dwelling.
Or ii can be placed over the old
roofing if new roofing is 10 be used.
Another method IS 10 apply the IN.
sulation board over the top tloor
.ioists.
Walls can be insulated by apply
ing Insulation board over the o.d
siding where a new exterior fia;sn
is to be applied. If stucco is to
be used, it caa be applied directly
If the inside of the house is TO be
remodeled. insulation san be applied
in lath form which VIII also serve
as n new plaster taSe.
iIome1wners VII Be wise to con
suit their local lumber dealers abnut
insulation. It is difficult. to give
any general figure on tine cost %
applying insulation board TO She ro-
modelled home, bat lumber 1ealers
are always glad to >,nd re.
+ Liable contractors WHO will ei"e an
accurate estimate ot the cost uf
such work. Considering The value
insulation adds TO any home and
! the +ucl saving it wiN effect, It is
, probably the best investment in
home maderniIiug available Today.

Electrical Units
In Kitchen Make
Home Care Easier
BY the Architects Small
House Service Bureau of the
United States, Inc.

What do we mean by an cleo
trical kitchen? Here is q partial
list: refrigerator, range. ventila-
tor, mixer. dish washer; a host of
smaller equipment Maybe you
can't afford much of this at first;
maybe you can afford all of it.
What about the electric refrigera-
tor, for example? This has gone
through experimental stages. BY
good luck its development has been
in the hands Of well organized COM
panieS with capital sufficient to
work it out So we have presented
20 us operating units that will work.
The home builder who wants an
electric refrigerator and has the
money to pay for one has a num-
ber of designs, different sizes and
makes, from which he can choose.
Now get this refrigerator located
where the person who works in the
kitchen finds it convenient to
hand. and after she has used it she
will say she could not 90 without
il.
Time Saving Mixer
Then there is the mixer. This
Is an electric motor with attach
nents of various kinds to chop
meat, mix dough and salad dress
ing, beat eggs If there is a lot OF
work of this kind to do. a big FAM
lily for example it is a time saver
Of the first order. People always
have to decide whether they can
afford equipment Of this kind. If
they can and miss getting it, they
miss q lot.
Again, the electric dish washer
o. course. women have washed
dishes by hand power for as long
as anybody can remember, and

man to cmancipate herself from
the kitchen. She does ii not by
neglecting the work. but BY getting
machinery to dc it. Here is . ma

is required for hand power wash |

Once more, the kitchen ventiia- |
tor If men had to stay in stuffy |
kitchens where many women spend |
seemingly endless hours, they |
would be quick to see what some |
kind of an exhaust fan set in the |
wall would do for them. 1t is Of |
tensive for a man to come home in |
the evening and find the house full |
of the odor of boiled cabbage or |
sauerkraut Think of staying in the
kitchen while this boiling operation
is going on No wonder women
are often not hungry after they
have prepared an excellent meal.
1t is easy to understand how
these fumes of even the most whole
some food vitiate the appetite as
they vitiate the air. An electric
ventilator, which in simplest terms
is a fan set in the wall with suit
able protection from the weather, |
establishes currents of air to carry
cooking odors along in definite
stream. They get outside. The
offense is removed.
We have been able to stand
kitchen odors for as long as memory
of man. But we don't have to
stand for them. If you can't afford
a ventilator, you will have to be
able to afford the odors. Home
builders must choose.-Copyrigh
