■
Can Be Used Very Effectively to
Enhance Beauty of Frame

The popularity of brick porches on
frame houses lias been growing for a
number of years. The brick porch has
been used to add the finishing touch to
frame construction over a period of
years reaching back beyond the in
fancy of the face brick. Its rapid
adoption is no doubt largely explained
by the development which has taken
place in the brick Industry during re
cent years.
The term “brick” has lost some of
the definite meatfing which it. at one
time, possessed. Even a generation
ago. when this word was spoken it
called up the image of an uninterest
ing, dull colored block of baked clay.
The man who said. “I am building a
brick porch.” had given a complete
meaning to his words and his audience
would at once understand just what
material would go into that porch. Let
a man today make such a statement
and if he has an audience which is at 1
house which needs a touch of modern
ism, gives a tangible increase of value
ro the property which is very accept
able in ease of sale.
The brick porch is not. however, to
be considered as merely a means by
which old houses may be modernized.
The new house design may call for a
brick porch which will be one of the
most attractive features of the exte
rior. It is usually the case, when tlais
type porch is used on the new house,
that the foundation walls above grade
are built up of brick also. This in
sures good substantial construction
since, in keeping the wood up from the
ground, the rotting effect of moisture is
eliminated. In case an outside chim
ney is used, the effect is pleasing in
that all of the brickwork is connected
by the foundation walls.
The house shown in the accompany
ing illustrations is of frame construc
tion. having the sides finished with
beveled siding and the hip roof broken
np with small dormers. The porch,
foundation walls above grade and
chimney are built of brick trimmed
with white stone. In carrying out the
decorative scheme for the exterior, ac
count should be taken of this fact so
that the wooden part of the house will
harmonize with the brickwork. This
will probably require that the house
be trimmed in white, but the body color
will depend somewhat upon the kind of
brick selected.
A novel decorative feature is ob
tained in the rail of the porch by lay
ing up the brick in checker-board fash
ion. the surface being divided into
squares formed by placing brick with
their faces together in groups of three,
adjacent squares having the brick
placed at right angles. Panels are
formed by bordering a double horizon
tal row of these squares with a single
course of straight-laid brick. The stone
coping is placed above the upper bor
der and a stone sill below the lower
border.
There are two entrances to the house
from the street. One Is from the
front porch and the other is by a
side stoop leading to the kitchen. The
front door is placed near the end of
the porch. It opens into a little vestibule
off of which a large closet fitted with
a shelf and providing generous space

all interested, he will then be forced
to go into a lengthy discourse on just
how that touch of bluish gray blends
In with the graded browns in each
brick and how the effect is further
brought out by the “texture"—well,
before the appearance of the brick is
fully realized, the sample from the
building material dealer’s stock has
passed the rounds and even then the
story is only half told.
The man who used to build the old
type “brick” buildings didn’t find much
inspiration in his work. It didn't make
much difference how well he did his
work, the appearance was about the
same in every case. That condition
is changed somewhat now. The ma
son today has the chance to show
something of his work. The beauty of
color and texture found in the brick
itself calls for a harmonizing scheme
which will bring out the beauty
through the use of the most appropri
Floor Plan.
ate color and form of mortar joints.
There are many possible ways of lay
ing brick in the walls of a building
and the subject it now a matter of im
portance with both the architect and
builder.
This greater flexibility of architectu
ral expression which is possible in
brick construction, as has been said,
seems to be a logical explanation of
the Increased popularity of brick
porches. There is the fact, also, that
the addition of a brick porch to a
for wraps is built. French doors lead
to the living room. At the far end
of this room is a bay in which three
windows are placed. These windows,
together with one front window and
the glazed doors, provide an abun
dance of light in the living room. It
is certain that if this is to be made
' the pleasant part of the house which is
should be, there must be plenty of
windows to make the room naturally
bright and cheerful.
French doors are placed between
the living room and the dining room.
• The kitchen occupies an extended cor
ner of the house to the rear of the din
ing room. This kitchen is arranged
with convenience as the discriminating
factor. There -are three windows and
a glazed door to brighten the room.
Beneath the two windows in the rear
walls there is a work table at one
end of which is placed the sink and
along the wall at the other end of
which the cupboard is built. Plenty of
space is provided for a gas stove and
range along the other wall. A handy
little closet with shelves on two siues
opens off of the kitchen near the dining
room door.
The other side of the house is
reached from the little hall which is
entered from the dining room. There
I are two bedrooms, each of which is
| provided with a large closet. The
i front bedroom is especially well fitted
with exceptionally large closet lighted
with a single window. The bath robm
is placed between the kitehen and the
rear bedroom. It is fitted with a built
in medicine case and a clothes chute.
This latter feature is a great eon
! venienee and saves many steps, since it
is very handy to the bedroms. There
is a linen closet at the head of the
hall. The basement, entered from the
! other end of the hall, may be divided
off into a furnace room, laundry and '
vegetable room. The laundry should be
placed at the rear of the house so that i
the articles thrown into the clothes j
j chute may be caught in this room.
Classifications of Leather.
Leather for shoe manufacturing pur- I
poses comes under two broad classifi- j
cations, upper leather and sole leath
I er, these, as their names irnplj being ■
used respectively for the sole and the j
other portions of the shoe. The upper ’
leathers most commonly used are calf
skin, coltskin or horsehide and kid.
Calfskin comes in various finishes, pat
ent, wax, bright, dull, boarded and vel
vet. Coltskin and horsehide are used
principally as the base for patent
leather, but they are also employed in
dull finish for men’s high-grade shoes.
Kid may be glazed, patent, pebbled or
morocco, according to the tanning
process.
HID i ML Of M
In Six Years He Was Well Off
An Alberta fanner, who had bor
rowed from a loan company, in re
mitting to them the last payment on
his mortgage, decided to give them the
history of his experience, on a Mani
toba farm. It was that of many anoth
er fanner, and for the benefit of those
who contemplate a change the liberty
is taken of reproducing it.
“I will give you here a brief sum
mary of my experience since coming
here six years ago. I was a new hand
] at farming, my trade being meat-cnt
; ting and butchering. My capital was
| $400, which was a first payment on
my quarter section (160 acres). Most
of my stock, harness, implements, etc.,
were bought at sales, all “on time,”
necessarily. The buildings on the place
were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 26 acres broken, and very
badly fanned, bringing poor returns
the first year.” After mentioning a
number of mischances, he says: “In
spite of all these drawbacks, I have
done well. I consider my farm worth
53.500 to $4,000. I have four head of
horses, 12 of cattle, over 400 purebred
Buff Orpington chickens and 125 tur
keys, besides implements, harness, etc.,
to run my piace. I have a well 170
feet deep with an inexhaustible supply
of water. The well with pump cost
me $400. I have built a $125 chicken
house and put up nearly $50 worth of
poultry fencing; have built root cellars
to hold over 3,000 bushels of potatoes
and other vegetables. As to income. I
raise about ten acres of garden and
roots annually which net from $600 to
51.000 total. I generally sell from
20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings
from $6 to §14 per ton. My grain is
most all used on the farm except a
few hundred bushels sold to the neigh
bors for seed. My four milk cows bring
in from $50 to $80 each (counting calf).
Last year 80 hens laid 600 dozen eggs
which averaged more than 25 cents a
dozen (I always work for winter egg
production). The surplus hens were
sold in spring, dressed at §1 each. My
turkeys average §2.50 each in fall. By
having vegetables to feed my young
cattle, the two-year-old steers bring
$75 each in spring.”—Advertisement.

AND STARRING
Woman Thought She Would
Die. Cured by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.
Ogdensburg, Wis.—‘T suffered from
female troubles which caused piercing
pains like a knife
through my back
and side. I finally
lost all my strengtn
so I had to go to
bed. The doctor
advised an oper
ation but I would
not listen to it. I
thought of what I
had read about Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound and
tried it. The first
bottle brought treat
relief and s,x bottles have entirely
cured me. All women who have female
trouble of any kind should try Lydia EL
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.” —
Mrs. Etta Dorion, Ogdensburg, Wis.
Physicians undoubtedly did their best,
battled with this case steadily and could
do no more, but often the most scientific
treatment is surpassed by the medicinal
properties of tne good old fashioned
roots and herbs contained in Lydia EL
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.

A Blow From the Bench.
“Your honor.” informed the jKilice
man as he pointed to the prisoner, “he
refused to rise while the band played
the ‘Star-Spangled Banner.’ ”
“I did nor recognize the tune,” ex
plained the culprit hastily.
“Now. my dear man,” said the judge
sympathetically, “let me whistle it
for you, so that hereafter you may dis
tinguish it.”
The judge whistled the melody and
the prisoner listened intently. When
his honor had finished the defendant
exclaimed generously:
“Your honor. If the band had played
the tune as you whistled It, I would
not be here today.”
“Discharged I” interrupted the well
pleased judge.
“But the hand would.” concluded the
man in an undertone as he hastily re
tired from the courtroom.—Christian

“No. ma'am.” answered the young
man; “I'm a painter coming out for a
smoke."
Why That Lame Back ?
Morning lameness, sharp twinges
when bending, or an all-day back
ache ; each is cause enough to sus
pect kidney trouble. Get after the
cause. Help the kidneys. We
Americans go it too hard. We
overdo, overeat and neglect our
sleep and exercise and so we are
fast becoming a nation of kidney
sufferers. 72% more deaths than
in 1890 is the 1910 census story.
