DO YOU KNOW That in Kansas, men are sent to the penitentiary for the same crimes for which In Nebraska men go to the county jail? 1 That the parole system in Kansas is much stricter than that in Nebraska? j That in April, 1916, there were 365 inhabitants in the Kansas reformatory—122 were from Kansas, the rest from neighboring wet states?

For de fense against invasion of the elements CERTAIN-TEED Roofing is the real “national guard”. Certain-teed Roofing * protects our buildings from the violence of storms; success fully resists the attacks of rain, hail, sleet and snow; is . unaffected by the sharp assaults of frost, and the withering fire ‘ of mid-summer sun. It even withstands the ravages of time, for CERTAIN-TEED Roofing is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to ply (1, 2 or 3). Experience proves that it will out-last the period of guarantee. The long life of CERTAIN-TEED is due to the fact that it does not dry out, as ordinary roofing does. This is because it is made of the best quality roofing felt, thoroughly saturated with a blend of soft asphalts—the formula of the General’s Board of Expert Chemists. This soft saturation is then covered with a coating of a harder blend of asphalts, whichprevents the drying out process, and keeps CERtAIN-TEED impervious to die elements for years after the harder, drier kinds of roofing have dried out ana gone. CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in slate-surfaced shingles. There is a type of CERTAIN-TEED Roofing for every kind of building, with flat or pitched roofs, from die largest sky-scraper to die smallest residence or out-building. CERTAIN-TEED is sold by responsible dealers all over the world, at reasonable prices. Investigate it before you decide on any type of roof.
