Planning to build homes of their
' own is engaging the attention of thou
sands of American families this year.
Never was the average American more
able to pay for a home; neither lias he
so thoroughly realized the advantages
of becoming a home owner. With his
mind made up to build, Mr. Average
Citizen now is scanning architect’s
designs and selecting one that will ;
•nit hi» needs and his pocketbook. I
For the small family there is no type I
of home that so nicely fits Its needs as
a bungalow. The accompanying illus
tration shows a four-room white bun-
!. < i .-? I - il
galo.w that will suit those who want
a home that is attractive to the eye
and has an interior arrangement that
provides the contort and convenience
that are features of modern dwellings.
This bungalow is 30 by 36 feet 6
inches in dimensions. This size is ex
«j?elient for a lot of 50 or more feet in
width, as its breadth allows for plenty
of side yard, and its depth permits of
*. a space both for front and rear
lawns and a garden. The addition of
a garage of the same architectural de
sign rounds out a fine home-building
group.
Built of standard frame construction
this bungalow is not expensive to
build. The hip roof, outside brick
fireplace and the arched roof over the
entrance all combine to give it an ex
ceptionally attractive exterior. Ex
terior features also are the terrace on
either side of the entrance and the
email side porch.
The four rooms consist of a combi
nation living and dining room, kitchen
and two bedrooms. Off the kitchen
also there is a breakfast nook, to be
ised by the family when alone.
The living room is of extraordinarily
large size for such a small house. The
Mmensions are 20 by 13 feet. Win*

dow3 on either side of the fireplace
and one on the terrace side make this
a sunny, pleasant room in winter and
permit plenty of ventilation in the
summer. Between the living room and
the kitchen Is a good-sized pantry,
■with a china closet in one end and a
table, under the window, in the other.
This arrangement gives the housekeep
er easy access to the dishes and pro
vides her with a serving table when
more formal meals are served in the
living room.
In one corner of the kitchen, which
is 12 by 11 feet, there is a breakfast
nook, with partitions half way to the
ceiling. Under the window is the din
ing table, while on either side are
built-in seats. This is a cozy place
for the members of the family to have
breakfast and luncheon, and even din
ner if desired. Another popular ar
rangement in the kitchen is the sink
underneath the window. The entry
leading to the rear porch is of suffi
cient size to accommodate the ice
box, so that it can be iced without
going into any of the rooms.
Ranged along the opposite side of
the house are two bedrooms, each 12
by 11 feet, with the bathroom be
| tween. A small hall connects the two
I rooms. Entrance may be gained
I either from the outside through the
front bedroom or through the hall from
the living room. It will be noted by a
study of the floor plan that a great
! deal of closet space is provided.
The basement extends under the
; whole house and provides room for
I the heating plant and fuel, and space
I for storage of vegetables and other
I articles. Basements of modern homes
: usually are divided with full partl-
I lions, which makes for cleanliness and
I prevents the heating plant from warm
• Ing the storage rooms.
This design is equally suited for
country or city, except in the larger
cities where restrictions as to fire
proof construction are in force. By its
arrangement it has the efficiency of a
five-room house, without the cost of the
extra room.
There are many good reasons why
everyone who can should build a home.
The home owner is not a lucky person,
but on the other hand, a substantial
member of the community in which he
lives. He does not have the inconven
iences that come from living in a rent
ed house; neither does he have to fear
that if he beautifies the lawn or fur
nishes the house to suit his ideas that
it will be sold and his wbrk and out
lay will be lost.
It does not require a great amount
of ready money to build a home; but
it does require a considerable amount
of character to assume the burden of
paying for a home. However, as the
years go by that monthly sum that
heretofore has been spent for rent will
be paying for a home, and accumulat
ing an asset that is as good as a bank
account.
In building a home, care should be
exercised in selecting the lot w r tfh an
eye to its future value and in picking
the design for the house. A costly
house should not be built on an inex
pensive lot; neither should a high
priced lot be secured as a site for an
inexpensive home. In the event that
the owner wants to sell, he will find
that in either of the cases mentioned
he will be a loser. A good proportion
of costs is about one-sixth—a $5,000
home on a SI,OOO lot.
It is always well to consult with an
architect and with the contractor and
material dealer before the plan finally
is decided on. All of these men are
experienced in home building and from
them will be gained many valuable
suggestions, both as to what to build
and the materials to be put Into the
building. They take the ideas of the
prospective builder and turn out
plans that conform to them as nearly
as possible.
The greatest argument for home
building, however, is the comfort and
satisfaction that the owner gets out
of a place that is designed t® suit his
tastes and located in a neighborhood
where the people he wants his family
to associate with live. These are what
make life -worth living.
Playing Baseball in the Air.
Airmen at one of the flying fields in
the South devised a new sport some
weeks ago, and new word comes abroad
that 1 ankee “sky pilots” over there
are adding frills to it. The game,
incidentally, seems to be most excel
lent practice for baseball outfielders.
As originally devised, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine, it consisted in
endeavoring to catch baseballs drop
per from an airplane flying at an ele
vation of ,00 feet. As revised by the
overseas force, it includes the award
of a worid’s championship medal “and
everything.” To go the home crowd
one better, the overseas men began
the game with the pitcher at an alti
tude of 450 feet. A ball dropped from
that elevation and caught at the
ground means that the next one must
De launched from 800 feet, and so on.

CONSTIPATION
And Sour Stomach Caused This
Lady Much Suffering. Black*
Draught Relieved.
Meadorsrille, Ky.—Mrs. Pearl Pat
rick, of this place, writes: “I was
very constipated. I had sour stomach
and was so uncomfortable. I went to
the doctor. He gave me some pills.
They weakened me and seemed to
tear up my digestion. They would
gripe me and afterwards it seemed
I was more constipated than before.
I heard of Black-Draught and de
cided to try it. I found it just what I
needed. It was an easy laxative, and
not bad to swallow. My digestion soon
improved. I got well of the sour stom
ach, my bowels soon seemed normal,
no more griping, and I would take a
dose now and then, and was in goodl
shape.
I cannot say too much for Black-
Draught for it is the finest laxative,
one can use.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has for
many years been found of great value
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
bowel troubles. Easy to take, gentle
and reliable in its action, leaving no
bad after-effects, it has won the praise
of thousands of people who have used 1
