Design Shows Attractive Building That
Is Modern in Design and at the
Same Time Economical in
Construction.
By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
jtnwhsttona and stare advice FREE OF
iCOST oa all subjects pertaining to the
[subject of building", for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
'a* Bdltor. Author and Manufacturer, he
Is, Without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all Inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, 111., and only enclose
three-cent stamp for reply.
Everyone who lives or has lived In
a small town knows or can remember
"the brick house." The owner usually
was the most affluent member of the
community. Not that the brick bouse
cost so much more than the others,
but Just the word "brick" conveyed
the thought of stability.
Bricks and brick houses are almost
as old as civilization. True, the bricks
of centuries ago did not compare with
the bricks of today, but the ancients
fashioned blocks of clay in the warmer
climates, allowed them to bake in the,
sun and constructed houses of them.
And tbey lasted and supplied a home
for generation after generation.
These are the reasons that brick
houses are popular. They give an air
of stability, because they are stable
themselves. The man who builds a
brick house builds not only for him
eelf and his family, but, for genera
tions to come.
I In the era of home building that is
opening this spring, there will be
erected homes of all types. There
will be the- bungalow for the smal\
family the larger frame Iwrcse fo$
the large family, and the head of the*
family who wants something different
and at the same time wishes to build
for the future will select a brick
house.
The accompanying illustration
shows a style of brick house that has
the advantage of being constructed
of a well-nigh permanent material,
and is planned to provide all the com
forts of the modern home. There are
fiR3T FLOOR PLAN
no frills about this architectural de
sign, but the bouse has the air of
solidity, the convenience of arrange
ment and the graceful exterior that
everyone wants In this type of a
home.
Square Appearance Removed.
While the front porch and the gable
above it have taken away the effect,
the bouse itself Is practically square.
There are no angles to the ivalls,
which makes for economy in construc
tion. However, by the additions noted,
the square appearance has been taken
away and an economical, solid and
attractive home has been designed.
The dimensions of the house, ex
clusive of the porch projections, are
29 feet 4 inches by 26 feet 5 inches.
The front porch is of good size and
with the broad door opening makes
an attractive appearance.
The house contains s(x rooms, a
large reception hall and bathroom.
Downstairs are living and dlnini
rooms, reception hall and kitchen, and
upstairs are three bedrooms and the
both.
I Tha {reception ball is 10 feet 6

inches by 9 feet 6 inches. The stair
way to the second floor Is at one side,
while double doors lead into the liv
ing room, which Is 16 fedt 6 inches
by 12 feet 6 inches.*/Three windows
at the front and one at the sicfc make
it a bright and pleasant room. While
no fireplace has been provided in this
design, it will be noticed in the ac
companying floor plan that the flues
run through the wall at one corner
and it will be an easy matter to pro
vide one.
Sense of Spaciousness.
The dining room is connected with
the living room by a colonnade. Thus,
through the generous openings, the re
ception hall, living room and dining
room, are practically one room, glv-
r5ECONDfL00RpLAN
Ing a sense of spaciousness which
would not be obtained if each room
was shut off.
The dining room is also of good
size, being 11 by 14 feet. As this
also is a corner room, It is extraor
dinarily light and cheerful, there being
three windows at the end and pne
at the back. Off the dining room and
back of the reception hall is the
kitchen, 11 to 13 feet. A good sized
pantry opens off the kitchen at the
back, making the refrigerator acces
sible for icing from the back porch.
The upstairs arrangement of rooms
is unique. There is one large bed
room 14 by 12 feet, over a portion of
both the living and dining room. This
has three windows at the end and is
a delightful sleeping and sitting room.
Large closets on either side of the
room will appeal to the housekeeper.
The hall leads directly to this large
room and off It Is a bedroom at the
front and another at the rear of the
house. The bathroom opens off the
end of the hall.
While a description of the arrange
ment of a house and the dimensions
of the rooms does not always give
a very good Idea of Its interior, the
floor plan visualizes It much better.
A careful study of the first and sec
ond floor plans given herewith will
reveal to the reader how many are the
fine features of this brick house.
Home Is Good Investment.
Owning a home of this character is
as great an asset as being the owner
of Liberty bonds. Both are the best
investment any man can make. The
former provides a place for the fam
ily to live in the years to come and
the latter provide the wherewithal-
to
maintain It. Prosperity begets pros
perity and there is no place more pros
perous than a community that is made
op of home-owners and not renters.
The quicker a man gets into the former
class, the better citizen he becomes
and the better cnance he has to be
prosperous.
The principal reason why the mod
ern American head of a family does
not own his home is that he feels
that assuming the responsibility of
paying for it Is not worth the efforl
A talk with any home-owner will soon
dissipate this Idea. The banks are
Ailed with money that the prosperity
of the country has brought and they
are looking for sound Investments,
And there Is rib investment a bank
would rather make than loaning
money to a man who wants to build
a home. A small percentage of the
cost Is all that is needed to get a
home the balance can be paid in
place of the rent that the tenant pays
to his landlord.
With the government urging build
ing, Just ns it urged everyone to buy
Liberty bonds, there is added to the
investment in a home the feeling that
he who builds Is a good patriot.
"Build a home" this spring and next
spring see how much happier you are,
and, what is better, how happy your
family will be.

BETTER THAN ANY MEDIUMS
Mlnee Pie That Brought Vision of
Home Caused Wounded Soldier to
Long for Life.
Pie Is not among the articles treated
of In works on materia medlca, hat
a recent Incident shows that it may
have therapeutic value. In a hospital
lay an American sailor, for whom ev
erything had been done by surgeons,,
doctors and nurses, and yet something
was lacking. He was homesick his
mind was ever away In a little At.
lantlc coast town. One day, in the
midst of his bodily pain and soul-suf
fering, there flashed upon him the ob
ject of his quest, and he murmured
excitedly: "Ob, if I could only have a
piece of mince pie." It wa* not that
he wanted to eat a piece of pie, for
he*was too HI for that. His hunger
was for what the pie represented.
An American nurse who heard the
wish managed, with some difficulty, to
ind all the ingredients for a real New
England pie. When she took it to
him she put with if a bit of chee.se,
also hard to procure In these times,
so that nothing would be lacking, and
In the cheese she planted a miniature
Stars and Stripes. The poor boy
could eat neither the pie/ nor the
cheese, but tbey contributed just the
home touch needed to improve his
condition. When the wife of the
American consul general visited him
later she remarked upon the improve
ment in his condition, and he said:
"Two daya ago I was in such misery
that I could have welcomed death.
Now I feel that America is not so
far away as I thought and that I have
got to hang on."

How Is the sudden trust Londoners

says of hi* experiences: "On several
occasions lately news vendors who
have been unable to change silver have
said to me, 'Never mind, pay me the
next time you are this way' Only
one of them knew me as a regular, cus
tomer. Even more unexpected credit
than this was offpred mp at a railway
booking office where I tendered a shill
ing for a two-penny fare. 'I'm short
of coppers.' said the Rlrl booking clerk
'pay me tomorrow.' 'But I shall not he
here tomorrow,' I replied. 'Then pay
me the next time you are here when
ever It is' she said. 'But supposing I

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's EasyIf You Know Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets
The secret of keeping young is to feel
young to do this you must watch your
liver-and bowels there's no need of
having a sallow complexion dark rings
under your eyes pimples a bilious
look in your face dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com*
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the substi
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.
