inexpensive Venetian
Blinds Available
In14Widths
Made Of Heavy Cardboard,
They Cost Less Than
So Window
BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

Venetian blinds of the inexpensive
sort long have been sought by per-
sons who rent their homes and
apartments and do not want to
indulge in big investment for pos
sibly a short time. Now they are
here-a new sort, made of a heavy
cardboard reinforced with wood.
They cost less than 81 a window in
II different widths, from % to 36
inches, all "a inches long.
Mind you, these are real Venetian
blinds, complete with all necessary
fixtures for raising and lowering and
for opening and closing the Stats.
But the pinch Stats are made of
what is called "boXboard," with a
stick Of wood in the center and fast
ened around the edges with water
proof glue. The sealedin sticks,
running lengthwise of the Stats, pre-
vent warping.
Finished with ivory waterproof
paint, the Stats may be cleaned with
a damp cloth. Water, whether for
cleaning or in the form of rain,
won't hurt them. They have passed
factory tests for moisture, steam and
heat, the makers say, and stand up
very we'll
A particular advantage of these
blinds is installation on ordinary
shade brackets. All you have to do
Is remove your present shade, then
insert the pins of the blind into the
brackets. The pins can be screwed
In or out to an adjustment of l
Inch more than the regular width
OF the blind. This is a great con-
venienCe in a rented house, for it
means that no real installation work
Is necessary.
1t Is possible to have one part of
the blind open and the other part
closed at the same time. assuring
privacy and ventilation. All in all,
a we'll worthwhile investment for
your temporary or permanent home.

workmen who are setting it into the

detect scratches in the glaze. Fine

larger scratches until the glaze
wears through to the iron surface,
spelling the appearance of the tub.
A new method of protecting bath
tubs during installation has been
developed, and is cheap enough now
for every plumber to use-ask your
plumber to investigate the new pro-
tective covering which fits the con-
tours of any size or style of tub. 1t
Is an overcoat for the tub made of

and friendship almost beyond COM

Finally Lazarus took sick, his
sister wrote Jesus a letter stating
their loving brother and only sup
port had taken sick and that unto
death, they thought urging Je-
Sus to come at once. The Savior's
divine thought was this sickness
is not unto death but for the glory
of God that the Son of God might
be glorified. Now Jesus loved
Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
John 11:7. Jesus after being inform
ed of his sickness abode two days
still in the town where He was.
Then said He to His disciples: 81
want you boys to go with me down
in Judea." His disciples said to
Him Master why risk your life
down there? On your last visit to
the little city, Bethany, the Jews
sought to stone you and made an
attempt to take your life
Jesus said unto them. "Yes, our
friend, Lazarus Sleepeth, but I &c
that I might wake him out OF
Sleep" Then said the disciples
Lord if he sleep he doeth well.
Then said Jesus unto them plainly
Lazarus is dead"
When heart distressed Martha
heard that Jesus was coming, she
went and met Him and said unto
Him. Lord, if Thou had been here
our brother would have not died
Jesus said unto her, 'They brother
shall rise again" Martha said un-
to Him, st know that he shall rise
again In the resurrection. The
Master said, ST am the resurrec-
ton and the life. He that believeth
in Me, though he were dead, yet
shall he live"
Perhaps Jesus thoughts ran back
to the days when He visited this
Christian home and made wei
