We’ll Dry-Clean Your
Carpets and Rugs
WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR RUGS DRY
CLEANED AT A LAUNDRY
Because the process used is that which does more than just
soap and water.
There is first a complete DUSTING PLAN —A PER
FECT DUSTING PLAN—done by modern machinery,
in the modern way, by experienced men who have made a
study of just this one thing—CLEANING RUGS AND
CARPETS.
This cleaning plan leaves no traces of six months grit and
dust—that, after all, are the real wear and tear on rugs
from season to season.
Then your RUG is thoroughly DRY CLEANED by the
use of benzine, followed with an AMMONIA BATH
the very same process that your flannels and fine fabrics
go through when dry cleaned. This process preserves the
fabric and your rug retains its original colors.

HOME BUILDING BOOM HERE
More Dwelling Construction These
Days Than Ever Before—Unfail
ing Sign of Prosperity for Sev
eral Years Everywhere.
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, 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.
The man who builds a home for
himself and his family does not build
a house that “will do.” Ordinarily the
house he puts up will provide him and
the other members of his family with
a home for a great many years. Os
course, the foresighted man will not
build such an out-of-the-ordinary house
that it will not be readily salable, but
be will put into his home the conven
iences and comforts that he wants.
Because of these facts the selection
of the design for the new home is an
important matter. It is one of the
things that should be given careful
thought and everything that bears on
it should be considered before the de
sign finally is fixed upon. And right
here let it be said that the local archi
tect, the contractor and the material
man all can give valuable advice at
this stage of the project. They have
had a great deal of experience in de
signing and building homes and they
know the mistakes others have made
and how to avoid them.
To many men a garage is an essen
tial building. They want places where
they can house their automobiles,
where they will be available at all
times and where they can do such
work on the machines as is necessary
to keep them in good running order.
Home With Garage.
The home shown in the accompany
ing design combines the modern home
with a modern garage. It is a seven
room stucco house, with an exception-

ally attractive exterior and an interior
room arrangement that will appeal to
everyone who wants the many conven
iences and comforts the modern home
contains.
The dimensions of this house are 34
by 40 feet 6 inches, exclusive of the
front porch and sun parlor projection.
The artistic sweep of roof on the house
Itself, the dormer window projection
which breaks the roof line and the
pergola-like roof over the porch and
sun parlor all combine to give this
house an unusual and attractive exte
rior appearance. The same architec
tural design is carried out in the ga
rage, which is 19 by 12 feet, attached
to a rear corner of the house.
The porch projection is divided into
a porch and sun parlor, entrance to

the house being through the latter.
The porch is 14 by 10 feet, and the
sun parlor the same size.
On the first floor are four rooms, liv
ing room, dining room, kitchen and
den, the latter being on the same cor
ner of the house as the garage. The
living room is of the size and shape
that is popular with present-day home
builders. Its dimensions are 33 by 16
feet, and is a light and pleasant room.
It is open on three sides and is plen
tifully supplied with windows, while
at the end is a large open fireplace.
Opening off the living room are both
dining room and kitchen, the latter sep
arated from the front room by a hall
out of which opens the stairs to the
basement. The dining room is 20 by
13 feet 6 inches. The kitchen is 13
by 13 feet 6 inches. It will be seen
from the floor plan that all the rooms
are provided with built-in features that
make housekeeping easy.
Three Bedrooms, Bath.
On the second floor are three bed
rooms and bath, with an extraordinary
amount of closet space, and a central
hall.
The location of the garage in connec
tion with the house, with an entrance
directly to it, is the modern method
of building houses for automobiles.
Automobile owners have learned that
in order to keep the machines in oper
ation the year around the garage must
be heated. When the garage is a part
of the house itself this is done with
out much trouble or added expense.

The pergola roof of the garage and
the roof of the side balcony are cover
ed with canvas.
Under the whole of the house proper
is a basement w’ith concrete floor and
walls. This is divided so as to keep
the heating plant separate from the
food and other storage rooms.
Stucco houses now are in great de
mand. They are of either standard
frame, brick or hollow tile construc
tion, with stucco over either wood or
metal lath or applied directly , to the
walls when hollow tile is used. Either
if these materials-make a house that
is cool in summer and warm and eas
ily heated in the winter. A home built
from this design will be one of which
i any person can fee proud, and at the
same time it does not cost an exorbi
tant sum to erect.
Much Home Building.
Never before have so many persons
been building homes as there are this
year. The reasons are many. The
general run of heads of families now
are earning larger incomes than ever
before. Kents have been advanced
materially. At the same time the cost
of building has not kept pace with the
increase in incomes and rents. These
are causes that have determined many
thousands to build homes of their own.
Economically home owning is a great
asset. The man who owns his home
is looked upon as a stable, prosperous
and thrifty member of the community.
To him comes opportunities that pass
by the man who rents. With all other
things equal, the astute employer al
ways gives preference to the home
owner when an opportunity' for ad
vancement comes. He knows that the
man who owns his home will stay, and
is not so sure of the other fellow who
has no ties to keep him on the job.
Aside from the patriotic motives that
the government is urging to induce
people to build homes so as to furnish
employment for labor, there is every
selfish reason why everyone who pos
sibly can should build a home this
year. They are the persons who will
profit in the end.

“I sho’ is, boss.”

Taken Literally.
While cleaning clothes with gaso
line I sent my little girl, three and one
half years old, to get my kid gloves
from the dresser drawer. She had
them on when she came out, and said:
“Mother, why can’t I wear these?”
I said:
“Why, they are for ladies to wear."
She answered:
“Well, mother, you said they were
kid gloves.”—Wisconsin News.

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How To Remove Easily.
Heres’ a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that it
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Othine—dou
i ble strength—from any druggist and a
few applications .should show you how
easy it is to rid yourself of the homely
freckles and get a beautiful complex
ion. Rarely is more than one ounce
needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for ths
double strength Othine as this strength
is sold under guarantee of money
back, if it fails to remove freckles.
