SMITH
AND
JONES

WERE SERIOUSLY HURT
IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT
CMITH was laid up for many
- months, couldn't even earn
a dollar, and during that time
stacks of unpaid bills worried
the life out of him.
His credit, once good, was a
thing of the past. He had pur-
chased the previous year a
$4,000 Life Insurance
Policy
in one of the old line compa-
MES. His second premium came
due, and although disabled and
needing the money badly, he
was forced to let it lapse.
He had no money to take
care of his family or pay any
thing. He was very much dis
couraged.

TONES, his next door neigh
. Dor, who was in the auto
with Smith, was also laid up
for several months. His earn
ing power was shut off the
same as his neighbor, Smith.
The previous year, Jones
had bought a
$4,000 perfect Protection"
Life Insurance Policy
which, besides protecting his
life, paid him $500 per day for
every day he was disabled, ir-
respective of cause.
This kept the bills paid, also
the Life Insurance Premium,
and having no worries, Jones
got well. Smith died without
insurance.
Both men paid practically
the same for their policies.

True, in the century past there
has been some very poor veneered
furniture produced, and that has
made people prejudiced. But on
the other hand, many of us have
had sad experience with solid pieces
in the dry, heated houses that we
live in today. Fine old tables have
warped beyond belief, and other
pieces have changed shape until
they were scarcely practical. There
are many reasons why good We
neered furniture is better than
that Of solid wood, and two OF
them are strength and lghtneSS.
Solid wood is strong enough. but
it is heavy. Much excellent old
furniture was discarded when
Americans began a westward trek,
because it was too heavy to carry
along. Lightly constructed furni-
ture of veneer on plywood mlgnC
have Jared better.
Practical Features
Laminated pIywood is the basis
of good veneered pieces. A ply
wood panel consists Of three or
five layers of wood Of various
thickness. This wood may be Sc
lected for strength, for lightness.
or for whatever qualities are
needed, with no thought to beauty.

pieces on either side Of the center
piece are laid with the grain run.
ming the other way, and are glued
securely. This gives strength, and
assures you that the piece OF turn1-
ture will never warp, for II one
piece should have a tendency to
warp, the other pieces would hold
it so that it could not do so.
Maximum strength with mini
mum weight can be developed by
this system, and sometimes sew
eral pieces are glued together,
where a certain condition IS
needed. Properly put together and
dried, this plywood should never
get out of shape, even in the hot
test American home.
Finest Woods Used
Beauty is another factor in ia
vor Of veneer, for the outside may
be very thin piece Of the very
finest wood obtainable, at a mod
crate cost. whereas a piece large
enough to make a table leaf or q
dresser top would be exorbitantlS

to obtain odd grains. stripes

FaVOrite

Our favOrite today comes from
Mrs. Harold HarviIIe, 1901 Little
St., Alexandria. Va. It is one of
six winners in last weeks contest.
She writes:
This is the season we find our
selves looking for o cooling and
refreshing beverage. A drink that
will always hit the spot and be a
winner whether you serve it to
your family or at party is made
as follows:
/ pint of orange ice
quart of gingerale
IL whole red cherries
Place the orange ice in six
glasses, add two cherries to each
glass and fill the glasses with
gingerale. This makes a most de-
lightful drink and the flavor i'm
proves rather than lessons as the
ice melts.
For variety use a different color
scheme. Lime ice may be used,
green or white cherries, and for
those who prefer it a bit Of mint
in each glass.
Since the orange or lime ice can
be purchased ready to serve from
your dairy or corner druggist, this
beverage is the very thing for those
unexpected guests.
