It was not until the lust few years,
comparatively, thut American nreiil
terts recognized the beauty of the
homes that were erected In New Kng-
Ituid during the first century after the
landing of tin; I'llgrlins. Many of
these homes are still In a splendid
state of preservation and still are oc
cupied. Hut until recently their own
ers could not see guy beauty In their
plutn lines and weuther-beuten exte
riors.
Now, however, this type of archi
tecture, which was originated by the
builders of the Seventeenth century, is
must popular. Colonial homes of all
sizes and constructed of all the differ
ent sorts of building materials are
erected throughout the country. The
chief charm of the exterior of a co
lonial house Is Its simplicity and bal
ance. Each window lias a counterpart
on the opposite side of the main en
trance door, which Is placed exactly
hi the center of the house; there Is
i v <' *' p % W\
little attempt nt decorative effect, the
exception lining the porch pillars and
the fan-shaped lights over the door.
But there Is a charm about these
houses that appeals to every home
builder.
Then, too, the shape of the house
Is such that every foot of the Inte
rior Is usable. Tills will he noted
Bruni the floor plan that accompanies
the exterior view of a small colonial
house shown herewith. The same bal
ance that marks the exterior of the
house Is maintained In the Interior;
the rooms are divided almost equally
by a central entrance hall, out of i
which runs the stairs to the second
floor. Here, also, the balance Is con
tinued, there being a bedroom on each
corner, with the same number of win
dows and each one as readily acces
sible to the hall as another.

be either of stone, as shown here, or
of brick or concrete In any of its
forms. The exterior walls are cov
ered with shingles, treated so that
they have the silvery sheen that
marks the colonial house that has been
exposed for many years to the salt
winds from the ocean, tlreen blinds
and white window casings give a color
contras* to the exterior that Is pleas
ing.
The seven rooms In the Interior are
Bring and dining room and kitchen on
the first floor, with four bedrooms and
the bathroom on the second floor.
The house Is rectangular tu shape, be
ing 40 feet long and 24 feet wide. The
•ntraoca hall Is 8 feet wide. To the
rivlit through a double-cased door
opening is the living room, 15 by 23
fed. in the front at the center is an
open fireplace, on each side of which
sre French doors opening onto tiie
porch, while at each end there is a
large window, admitting plenty of
light and making the room a cheery
place for the family to spend leisure
hours.
At the left of the entrance hall, also
through a cusvd double door opening,
Is the dining room, 15 by 13 feet. This
being a corner room, witii windows on
two sides, also is a bright and cheerful
room. Hack of the dining room Is a
good-sized kitchen, 11 by 9 feet 6

plan is the lavatory at the end of the
hull at the rear of the house.
I'pstalrs are four bedrooms, one on
each corner of the house. All of tiie
rooms an* practically tiie same size,
15 by 10 feet. The bathroom is at
(lie end of the hall at the front. Kadi
room lias a good-sized closet. Sinlrs
lead to the attic, which because of
tiie high pitch of tiie roof is rather
large and provides ample storage
room for tiie family.
The cellar of this house Is exca
vated tiie same size as tiie walls, and
provid >s a large amount of storage
room, besides a place for the heating
plant and fuel stornge.
The cost of this house Is not great.
Its desijfri being such that It can be
erected with the utmost economy in
materials and labor. At the same
time It provides accommodations for
a family of more than the average
size. The arrangement Is such that
the work of caring for It can be done
with a minimum of effort, while all
the rooms are airy and comfortable.
Home builders who are planning up
on erecting that long-contemplated
house this year cannot do better than
select such a design as this. The co
lonial Is a style of architecture that
marks Its owner as an American who
Is proud of the building genius of the
early settlers; at the same time, the
colonial, to many minds, Is the most
beautiful of all styles of homes.
I'tiring the last few months the
cost of building, like almost every
thing else, has come down remarkably.
While prices still are higher than In
1014, when It cost less to build than
nt any time during the last half cen
tury, they are much lower than during
any of the war years, or the last two
years. Homes nre needed and needed
badly, and everyone connected with
the building business predicts that
this will be a banner year. .
This being true. It Is good Judgment
to start building operations ns enrly
ns possible. This will Insure that th»
new home Is ready for occupancy early
lu the summer.
Freud's Conception of Dreams.
If one aeeepts the Freudian theory,
and this theory Is generally accepted
by all psychologists of today, dreams
nre suppressed desires, and have noth
ing whatever to do with the realiza
tion of anything. We dream of what
we long to have and what we long
to do. The woman who has no chil
dren dreams of owning them; the man
who has never crossed the ocean, yet
longs to go, dreams of water and
boats, the unmarried man dreams con
stantly of possessing a wife, and so
:on Freud bases all dreams upon sex.
but sex In the biggest meaning of that
term.
True.

Teacher of Enfliah Bible in the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
((£). 1921, Western Newapaper Union.)
LESSON FOR APRIL 10
BfBLE TEACHINGS ABOUT THE
CHRISTIAN'S BODY (HEALTH).
LEBSON TEXT—I Cor. 6: 19. 20 . 9:24-27;
Gal. 6:7, 8.
GOLDEN TEXT-Every man that atrlv
eth for the mastery Is temperate In all
things —I Cor. 9:25.
REFERENCE MATERIAL—Prov. 22.
29-36; Isa. 28:1-8; Gal. 5:19-21.
PRIMARY TOPlC—Taking Care of Our
Bodies.
JUNIOR TOPlC—Growing Strong.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
—The Value of Health.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Public Health Problems.
The teachings of this lesson have an
Important hearing upon physical
health, hut tiie primary reference is
moral. Tiie sin with which Haul wus
dealing wus fornication, not mutters of
hygiene. That physical health may be
included we do not question, but sad
and serious will be the blunder if that
only Is taught.
I.—Glorifying God in Your Body (I
Cor. 0:19, 20.
It should he noted that tiie last
clause of verse 20 is omitted in the Ha
vised Version and the best manu
scripts. The conclusion of Haul’s argu
ment is, “therefore glorify God in youi
body.”
1. The Christian’s body is tiie temple
of the lloly Ghost (v. 19). God’s
dwelling place on earth Is now the re
deemed human body instead of tiie
temple at Jerusalem. If tiie sinless
Spirit is to dwell in the body it must
he kept clean. To delile or abuse tiie
body in any way is to insult the Spirit
and commit the most awful sacrilege.
Tills truiii apprehended solves forever
tiie problem of licentiousness, gluttony,
use of tobacco, tiie abuse or neglect of
the body in any way whatsoever.
2. The Christian’s body Is God’s
property (v. 19). Being God’s temple,
tiie proprietary right is in God and not
man. Being the property of the Lord,
tiie Christian's motto is, “Whether
therefore ye eat or drink, or whatso
ever ye do, do all to tiie glory of God
(I Cor. 10:31). “Holiness unto the
Lord” ought to be written over our
hollies.
8. The Christian’s body has been
bought (v. 20). The price paid to re
deem the body was the precious blood
of Christ (I Beter 1: 18, 19). We esti
mate things by what they cost. When
we estimate our bodies in ttiat light
we will be very jealous of their purity.
Guarding our health is part of our re
ligion.
11. Keeping the Body Under Con
trol (I Cor. 9: 24-27).
The Christian's life is more than
mere existence, there Is something to
do —to be accomplished.
1. It is u race (vv. 24, 25). In order
to win a prize there must be self-de
nial and definite exertion. The Chris
tian obtains life by contact with Jesus
Christ through faith (John 3:16; 3:36;
f> :24). Tills lie possesses before he can
begin the race. While he gets salva
tion (life) at the beginning, God places
before him definite rewards us incent
ives to exertion. The Ciiristian be
lieves to get life, but works for re
wurils. In tiie Olympian games only
one could hope to get tiie prize, but in
the Christian race there is a rewani
waiting for every one who disciplines
himself and runs. As tiie racer in these
games mastered his desires and ab
stained from everything which might
hinder hliu to win the prize, so the
Christian will make any sacrifice to
win. Tiie prize in the Grecian games
was corruptible, but tiie prize of the
Christian is Incorruptible. If tiie
heathen would practice such self-de
nial regardless of its pain for a gar
land of pine leaves, shall not the Ciiris
tian turn from bodily indulgences of
every kind so as to obtain the crown
of righteousness which fadeth not
away?
2. It is a tight (vv. 26, 27). The
Christian’s efforts are not mere beat
ings of tiie air. He has a real antag
onist. His light is not a sham conflict.
He should exert himself with all his
energy, and strike to hit his enemy. Ih
order to win success tiie body must be
kept under. In this case the antagonist
is the body. It should be so dealt
with as to bring it under subjection.
All tiie evil propensities of his nuture
should be brought under control.
111. —Reaping What You Sow (Gal.
6:7, 8).
God has established a iaw in the
world that whatsoever a man sows that
shall he also reap. To go ou sowing
with the expectation of not reaping is
to mock God. The world is full of ex
amples of those who thus mocked Him.
This text lias primary reference to
giving to the support of ministers of
the gospel; Its real bearing is upon the
believer for his stinginess ruther than
upon the sinner for his meanness, but
it lias a bearing on all that we do.
Very Sure of God.
The shepherds and tiie Wise Men
came away from Bethlehem very sure
of God. They had not been unbeliev
ers or atheists, hut the sight of the
little Jesus brought to them a fresh
and mighty consciousness of God's
continual presence. Even tiie antici
pation of God's coming in Jesus put a
nfw soug on the lips of Zachariah and
Mary, and one sight of the Child was
enough to open ail the fountains of
gratitude iu the heart of the aged
Simeon. —Congretrationallst aDd Ad

DEMAND FOR SAFE ROADWAYS
Some Kind of Protection Should Be
Provided to Keep Cars From
Skidding Off Dirt Roads.
What value do we place on a human
life? To judge by some of the roads
over the country It is not much. Lives
are lost many times where a few dol
lars or a little extra time would make
a road sale enough so that taking a
ride along them on a rainy day in an
auto would not be such a hair-raising
experience as is often the case now,
says a writer In Successful Farmer.
Recently a friend of mine was driv
ing along a road within a half mile of
a small town and ran into a ditch six
feet deep, upsetting his car and smash
ing things up generally, though he es
caped unhurt, and had no one witli
him. Many complaints had been made
about that road, but nothing was done
by anyone. On either side the ditch
came within less than two feet of the
roadway, and there was not even a
ridge or anything to ward tlie wheels
off and keep them from sliding over.
When hundreds of automobiles are
owned in every part of the country
and It is impossible to always keep
off roads when they are slippery, it is
not morally right and should not be
legally right to leave them in a condi
tion that would make on accident un
der ordinary conditions possible. Dur
ing the last two years I have been
riding around considerably and we
have been in places where it was very
dangerous driving, and often came up
on such places with no chance at all
to avoid them. In one case we crossed
a bridge after a light shower, and on
the far side found that it had caved
away to within six inches of the road,
though that was solid. For a rod the
ditch was not two feet from the road,
with nothing to check a slide into it.
A very steep hill began just beyond
the bridge. Our car could not make
the hill, and we stalled, and had to
back some. The least bit of skidding
would have been certain to have car

rled us over the bank and for several
minutes it looked like we were to go
down six or eight feet into a creek.
It is not always that such places
are on unimportant roads. In fact the
first place mentioned was on a main
traveled road between county seats,
aud automobiles used it on long dis
tance travel. In the main it was a fine
road well kept, but there were two or
three places that were really danger
ous, though this was the worst of all.
Wherever there is a place at the side
of a dirt road that has much travel,
that is deep enough to upset a car
that went down into It, some kind of
protection should be made to keep cars
from skidding off. We are not consid
ering the quick dash to one side from
careless driving or going too fast in
mud, but the unavoidable skid that is
bound to occur now and then. Our
roads should be safe in muddy weattea:
is far e> we caa saJss them for often
at such times we have to use them
with our cars.
UNITED STATES’ GOOD ROADS
Work Is in Progress in Every Section
to Give Country Superior
Highway System.
The time is rapidly passing wnet.
the bad roads of America can be point
ed out as a reproach. In every section
of the country work is In progress to
give the United States a system of
roads which will compare favorably
with those of other countries. Roads
are being built at 2,985 different
points. Fully 30,000 miles of road have
been approved by the secretary of ag
riculture. It is estimated that this
construction will cost the country near
ly $400,000,000. At the end of .Tune,
1920, the government reported that 2,-
116 different projects, or a total of
16,000 miles of roads, had been com
pleted. —Boys’ Life.
NEW CHARACTER OF TRAFFIC
Most of Existing highways Were Not
Constructed to Support Heavy
Loads Now Imposed.
Most of our existing roads were not
designed with a view of carrying the
heavy loads now Imposed upon them,
and in new roads it would seem the
builders cannot realize the present
changed conditions and the new char
acter of the traffic; in any case the
pioblem is not an easy one.

Him to Eat Better, Sleep
Better and Work Bet
ter. Has Gained Thirty
Pounds.
“I consider Tanlac the grandest
medicine in the world, for I have
actually gained 30 pounds in weight
since I began taking it. It has just
simply filled me with new life and
energy and for the first time in years
I can sit down to the table and en
joy three square meals a day like
other people. In fact, Tanlac has
made me eat better, feel better, sleep
better and work better, and I guess
that’s all a man can expect of a
medicine.
“Before I took Tanlac, I was off 25
pounds in weight and was so badly
run down I was hardly able to do my
work. Nothing seemed to agree with
me and my food invariably soured on
my stomach. I would always have an
uncomfortable bloated up feeling in
my stomach, and although I tried
many kinds of medicines, I never got
relief until I took Tanlac.
“I also suffered considerably at
times from Rheumatism, but this lias
all disappeared. In sac., this wonder
ful medicine has made a new man out
of me in every way. I, feel years
younger and can do as much work as
in any day of ipy life.
“Os course, I am only too glnd to
give you my testimonial because I
want other people who are suffering
as I did to take this medicine and get
relief.”
GOLFER NOT “WHOLLY” BAD
Player Makes Ingenious Defense of
Those Who insist on Using
Links on Sunday.
“Chick” Evans, the brilliant golfer,
was talking at a golf club dinner in
Chicago about Sunday golf.
“The prejudice against playing golf
on Sunday,” said Mr. Evans, “has
practically disappeared, but in New
England there are still clubs where
the game is not permitted on the Sab
bath.
“To deprive the modern player,”
continued Mr. Evans, “of his Sunday
golf—the only day in the week that
some men can piay—is a great hard
ship.”
Smiling, the great golfer added
whimsically:
“And as a matter of fact, doesn’t
the golfer remember the Sabbath day
and keep it ‘holey’?” Los Angeles

“Ah! then marry me?”
“No!”
“Os course. I didn’t expect you to,”
lie said with a little sigh.
“Then why did you ask me?”
“Why, I’ve a character in my latest

What’s in a Name?
On a certain public work in pro
gress in Washington there are em
ployed by the government a consider
able number of negro laborers, some
from Virginia, some from Maryland
and some from other parts farther
south.
To one newcomer, a dusky fellow,
put some questions touching his identi
ty, beginning with “What’s yo’ name,
anyhow?”
“Mali name’s Wood,” said the new
man.
“Huh! What’s yo’ wife’s name?”
“Mali wife’s name? Her name’s
Wood, of course.”
“Huh! Both Wood! Any kindlin’?”

The customer drew himself erect,
till the glittering new watch chain—

crossed his middle, threatened to snap.
“What do you mean?” he snorted.

turned in, being picked *p by persons
on trains or about the stations who
never make any report of them.
