MAINTENANCE COST OF HOMES
Don't think hoesuse \ou own n house

find ihe hulk of your troubles am ovn
or you may find they have Juat be
gun. Tha question In. what kind of a
housa have you hullt?
Ofian Ihp house that la cheapest to
build In thr moat dlffimilt to heat, and
the annual fuel hills are startling. The
up-k«pp of a cheaply hullt house adda
ronatantly to the original coat, and
the ratea for fire insurance vary great
ly with the conatructlon material UNcd.
In Htnallci' cltlea and towns, frame
houses seem to preomtnate. They are
cheaper to build and lumber men ad
vlae a greater uae of lumber In home
hulldtng on account of the saving In
the first coNt. f'ntented rooting, pat
ented wall-hoard and almllar artlclea
enable the owner to ootid at the low
est price in keeping with good work
manship and materials, and help to
make frame houses cosy and attrac
tive at small cost. Hut one of the
strongest objections to frame con
struction Is an Increase In the cost
of up-keep, although poor workman
ship may be the cause of the greater
part o: the expense of up-keep. It Is
said that a frame house cannot tie
heated as cheaply as concrete or brick.
Therefore, If It In decided to build of
frame, It Is Important to spend $25
extra for building paper, which will
go a long way toward making the
walls warm. If the air spaces be
tween Inside and outside walls are
sealed up tight, the frame house will
he as warm under ordinary conditions
as other houses.
There Is much to be said In favor
of the fire-proof materials. The man
ufacturers of hollow tile give strong
reasons for Its use It Is fire-proof,
moisture-proof and costs little The
expense for fuel is low; It Is sound
proof. the cost of construction is low;
there Is no expense for palming, and
time may he saved In building.
The brick manufacturer has a prod
uct which will last longer than a life
time. He and the advocates of stone
and concrete construction are favored
by the fire Insurance people, and their
posterity may comfortably live In the
"same old place" for many genera
tions.
Hut In avery case the local dealer
urges the use of local material, and
ths coat of labor differs so much in
various localities that the difference
In cost of the various construction
materials Is often lost sight of. Loral
conditions govern. In smaller towns
wher eframe construction is the rule,
there may he a good many carpenters
and a scarcity of stone masons and
bricklayers. Patented products or hol
low tile may seetn desirable, but ure
there local workmen who know Imw
to use those materials and what about
freight bills?
An architect In Chicago tells of a
man who came to him with plans and
specifications for a six-room bung
alow, which had coat hint SI,BOO to

and wanted to duplicate It In Chicago.
Itrlck was plentiful and cheap In the

“The Sabbath was made for man —not man for the
Sabbath!”
It is ours because we are more in need of rest and
religion, than in a riot of recreation.
If we have been busy during the week we do not
gain needed rest by chasing madly about in quest of ex
citement.
Christ did not tell the people to “speed up” on their
prayers, nor are we now to do our praying by phono
graph.
Christ did say “enter into thy closet; and when thou
hast shut the door” worship in quiet.
Get away from the noise and bustle of social and
commercial activity and enjoy a day of real rest through
religious thought.
If “drawing aside” from the activities of daily life
was advisable then, how much more is it necessary now?
The activities of life are more wearing, the pressing
needs are more numerous, the demands constant.
One day’s real rest in seven fits the man for better
service in the world, and for greater satisfaction with
himself.
“A Sabbath well spent, brings a week of content;”
it brings the physical possibility of activities that are
creditable.
Putting prayers before profit will develop better
things for the future than you have known in the past.

Realize the greatest profit is the reward of Christ
ian activity.
For today is but a day of preparation; now is the
time for making ready for the hopeful things of the fu
ture.
Every week offers opportunities for genuine benefit
to your fellowman by your firm stand for his vital needs.
Impressing the need of Sabbath rest and Sabbath
devotion will give those who hear and heed, value in
participation.
Making the Sabbath a better day will mean more in
the race’s betterment than another of daylight.
Preserve the good of the day that it may continue
to be a mine of w r ealth to the people.
Gather in the house of worship—to worship! Draw
aside from the activities of secular life that we may pre
pare for Life!
There is a pew where you will feel “at home.”
There is a church where the possibilities of rest will at
tract you.
Every Sabbath day properly used strengthens the
race. Every Sabbath day abused degrades the stand
ards. Which way are you drifting?
You owe yourself activity in preserving the real
Sabbath ! Are you helping to make it better—or worse?
Help the right way!

LATIN WAS ARISTOCRATIC.
Sans Literature Surs to Be Anathema
tized by High Priests of Art.
There was a tithe wheu Latin was
the language of aristocratic literature
and Dante had to defend himself for
writing his poetry In his nntive but
vulgar tongue, and even Edmund
Spenser was criticised for refusing to
use Latin meters In his English verse
The same tradition of aristocratic ex
presslon In literature has animated
academic criticism at all times. Amer
ican literature will have to endure Its
condemnation. If we produce a litera
ture that hears the same relation to
American life that American plumbing
does, for example, we shall be doing
a sane thing, hut a thing that will sure
ly t>e anathematized by all the high
priests of art. And they will anathe
matize It although literature has to
tie vital to lie anything at all. although
It has to serve life, not aesthetics: al
though the religion of "art for art's
sake" is a religion that ministers to Its
Idol, but uot to humanity; although
such religions are dying every* here
and the religion of social service Is tak
ing their place, and although the
priests of art also, in their turn, will
have to come down out of their tem
ples to serve among the people or be
mocked. Harvey J. O'Hlggius In Cen

doing "beauty stunts" to the nose of
baby.
If baby’s ears are to retain the natural
outline do not let the child crumple up
the ears when asleep and do not let the
Infant lie more on one side than the
other—if you do one ear will get all
the crushing and crlnking.
When you put on baby's little cap
see that the ears lie flat.
Bands of soft cheesecloth or flannel
may be tied firmly, but not too tightly
about the baby's head to hold the ears
in place, if they show a tendency to
stand out from the head.

AUGUSTA TROOPS 60
INTO CAMP AT ST,
SIMON'S AUG. IST
Major Abram Levy, commanding the
Third battalion, First regiment, Na
tional Guard of Georgia, received in
formation on yesterday that the First
regiment would go into camp at St.
Simon’s island from the first to the
12th of August. The three Augusta in
fantry companies will go.
The companies must be recruited up
to their full quota of men within 60
days of the time for them to go into
camp and enlistments will doubtless
be large for the next ten days.
SILL IN NORTH AUGUSTA
BRIDGE ON FIRE WAS
CAUSE OF FOURTH ALARM
Besides three fire alarms responded
to by the firemen during the afternoon
of Saturday, there was another alarm
at about 8:30 o'clock from Box 74, cor
ner Market and 12th streets, which
varied the monotony of small fires in
that the blaze was not in a house, but
on the North Augusta bridge, a sill
of the structure being found afire. It
was quickly extinguished and the
damage to the bridge not enough to
record. The origin of the fire is not
known. Maybe a lighted cigar or ci
garette stump was the trouble.
