He gives the latest ideas in con struction and enables you to build without the expense of consulting an architect. Expert Advises Against Big Debt Running Over Long Period of Years. TAKE QUALITY BEFORE SIZE House Described Here Will Satisfy Most Discriminative if Plans Are Followed Carefully in All Details. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Mr \\ 1111am A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the ubject of building, for the readers of this paper On account of his wide experience as Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he Is. without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all Inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1S27 Prairie avenue. Chicago. 111., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. There Is little satisfaction gained by the nmn who goes into the building of a home blindly. In most cases such it man oversteps himself, gets hope lessly in debt and condemns the horne huilding idea because of his own folly. Most people obtain such pleasure out of owning their own home that they are willing to make some sacrifice to obtain it. However, if this sacrifice takes the proportions of a burden which must be carried for too long a time, its oppression will over shadow the pleasure which should he obtained from the home. This does not mean that a man is wrong in going into debt to obtain a home’ ft Means that lie think "To utui tlglir? carefully before taking ac tion. If he can easily clear up all in debtedness in three or perhaps five years, he Is justified In going into the mntter of a home with his architect and builder. llis first step in the analysis of the problem should he carefully to figure his probable resources over the period which he is willing to give to pay ing for his home. The man who has formed the habit of recording his current expenses accurately is very much better able to handle the prob lem than the man who has only his memory to help him. Suppose the prospective home builder decides that lie is willing to build if he can clear himself in five years. He should look over his expense account for the pre ceding five years and determine as closely as possible what his yearly ex pense has been for food, clothing, pleasure, sickness and all other such items, exclusive of rent. If his expenses have shown nn in crease over the five-year period, it is I » A rough balance may here be estab lished. There is a certain amount which may be spent in the construc tion of the house so that the expenses before the house is built will be equal to those after the house is built. Ordi narily, when this condition exists the total cost of construction must be paid from a sum in the hands of the owner at the time of building. In case it is necessary to borrow a por tion of the money, the expenses over the five-year period will include the amount borrowed, plus interest up to the time of payment. Of course, if ' the house is paid for out of a sum ) which has been earning interest, this interest will cease coming in. The interest amounts will probably balance one another, since in one case an amount ceases to come in, which is practically equal, for a like prin cipal, to the amount which must be paid out, in the other case. The dif ference in the two cases, then, comes down to a matter of the principal alone: If the house-construction cost I.-__1 ! __ Second-Floor Plan. is paid all or In part with borrowed 1 money, the expenses over the five- ! year period will be greater by the amount borrowed than they would be if the money was all in hand at the ' time of building. Having determined ns nearly as pos- 1 sible the amount which is to be in- j vested in the house, the final expenses i should be estimated. These will in- | elude probable taxes and sewer as- ! sessments and principal with interest on any money borrowed. This amount j should be addded to the original amount computed. Regarding the house itself, there I are two principal things which should | be remembered: The first is that \ quality materials and quality work- j manship should be given preference over size of structure and fast con struction. The second is that there is always a certain amount of ex- j pense connected with the erection of a house which does not show up in the estimate, an amount up to, say, j 5 per cent of the estimated cost of the house. Having followed out all of the Homelike Five-Room Stucco House. probable that he should estimate a like increase over the next period of five years. This data should be worked over carefully so that an ac curate estimate of probable expenses lumped together over the five-year pe riod will result. The next step consists in estimating the income which may be relied upon over the five-year period. This u-u First-Floor Plan. amount should not include any doubt ful resources, and it should not in clude interest on money which is need ed in the building operations, unless It ts imssible to borrow a like amount at a lower rate than the income rate. The next Item is the money on hand or available in sums due the prospec tive home builder. This item will de termine largely the kind and size of house to be considered. calculations accurately, the prospect- 1 Ive home builder may reasonably ex- , pect to obtain the fullest measure of ' satisfaction out of his investment in a home. The accompanying illustrations present a type of house which is at j the same time attractive and sub- j stantial. It is not very often thnt the combination of stone masonry and stuc- ! co is used in house construction, and it is a peculiar fact, for the appear ance of a structure built In this way is altogether pleasing and satisfac tory. The massiveness of the masonry work fits well into the design and the j stucco carries along the general idea j to the smallest detail. Stone is used ’ in building the porch walls and the chimney. The porch columns are built of wood with stucco finish. The floor . of the porch and the steps are made of concrete. The large roof surface Is relieved with smnll dormers. Raft ers at gable ends are supported with ‘ wooden brackets. In the room arrangement, notice the large living room. This room occupies the entire forward half of the first floor. An open stuir is built along one end of the room with a landing at the bottom which Is two steps < above the level of the living room j floor. At the other end of the room is a large fireplace ith a bookcase on 1 each side. The small closet directly opposite the front door will be handy for wraps. The dining room layout includes a three-window hay, which makes this ! room well-lighted and pleasant. A | buffet Is built under the window in the rear wall. Notice the handy ar rangement of the kitchen. The two cupboards will be found very conven ient. The second floor contains two generous-sized bedrooms.

I “We are going to give the fairies a surprise,” said the buds of the spring flowers. “We'll be ready to open tomorrow morning very early,” said the Tulips. “We will too.” said the Hyacinths. “And we will be ready also,” said the different Narcissus flowers. “That will be splendid,” said the garden Violets. And the little Johnny-Jump-Ups said, “We'll jump open too!” Now early the following morning the fairies were up taking their dew baths when one by one the buds opened | and the flowers peeped out and smiled. They nodded their heads to say a | “Good-morning” to the fjuries, and the fairies all screamed with delight. ! “The spring flowers,” they called. | “They’re ail opening up. Ah, aren’t they lovely!” And the flowers nodded their heads | some more in the soft breeze, for the I warm spring breeze likes to help the j little flowers when they want to be po j lite. And flowers love to be polite. | They like to nod their heads and say 1 a “Good-morning” to all the world. “Have you had a good winter’s j sleep?” asked the Queen of the Fairies, ! and the flowers nodded their heads again and smiled. The Tulips smiled and looked so j bright and golden. The little Johnny Jump-Ups laughed with glee. The other flowers all looked so fresh and happy j and the fairies were beaming with de i light. “Let’s have a party,” said the Queen | of the Fairies. “That's the very thing,” said Fairy 1 j Princess Joy. And all the other fairies agreed that ! t it would he the very nicest sort of a j | party with the spring flowers smiling j and waving and dancing in the warm j I breeze. “Let's ask the Butterflies,” said the Queen of the Fairies. So the fairies flew this way and that . and found all the little butterflies ; sound asleep. j “Spring, spring.” they whispered. They did not want to startle the but terflies and awaken them too quickly. ! , They simply wanted to tell them that ' it was time to be up. Soon the butterflies woke up. They stretched out their wings when Mr. Sun came out so fine and strong to make them look bright and beautiful. ; “Ah. such a nice day,” whispered the , fairies. “The flowers are out,” said Fairy i Princess Joy. The butterflies flew about a little to see if their wings were in condition for j flying, and yes. they found they were : quite ready and good and strong! “Come this way,” said the Queen of | the Fairies. She led them back with all the ; fairies following, and some of the but : terflies rode on the fairies' wings. You ; see they were not feeling quite like taking too long a trip for the very first ! trip of the season. So they would j alight on the fairies’ wings for awhile, and then they would fly a little. At last they came back to the gar den where the flowers were waiting for j them. They were still smiling and still She Led Them Back. nodding their heads. But. oh. how they did lift up their little faces when they saw the butterflies. And what do you suppose the butterflies did? They flew down and alighted softly on the happy spring flowers, and then they kissed them ever so gently. “Hello, spring flowers,” they whis pered, and some of the dust fell from their wings on the flowers. “Hello,” said the flowers. “Ah.” they added, “you have given us some of your lovely dust—butterfly dust.” “Yes.” said the Butterflies, “that is our first spring dust—really nnd truly butterfly dust, which only flowers nnd fairies have the eyes to see properly.” “And now for the dance,” said the Fairies. Along came the Crickets for they i were to sing the songs for the dancing, j And as they were singing the Grass ! hoppers hopped along too. “May we come?” they asked. “Yes,” shouted the Fairies. “We want this to be n really real spring party. And we wnnt ail our little friends, the Butterflies, the Crickets, the Grasshoppers and the lovely Flow ers. For they gave us the idea for a party. It is truly their surprise party, ns we didn’t expect them so soon.” And once more the flowers smiled! Appreciate Future. “Let us learn to appreciate the present with its immediate opportun ities for doing good. We will then know the better how to appreciate the future." Get Children Interested. Most boys, and nearly all girls, are interested in the raising of new and improved varieties of flowers nnd new corn, grain and vegetables which are constantly being produced. The new fruits, flowers, vegetables, grains and grasses should be purchased and test ed in a small way, after which the best may be retained. Garden Exercise.

One of the leading wholesale houses of South Africa, which for many years has maintained a commission sales branch for the disposal of ostrich feathers upon the local market, has completed a fairly comprehensive ostrich census for the Union during the latter part of 1916. Consul E. A. Wakefield, at Port Elizabeth, reports the results, which show that little more than half the number of ostriches are now being raised in South Africa as were shown by the government figures of 1913. There were 8,614 completed forms returned in the last canvass, and this would in clude the majority of ostrich farmers of importance. The 1916 census showed there were 399,010, compared with 776,268 at the end of 1913 and 746,657 in May, 1913.—New York Times. CUTICURA STOPS ITCHING Instantly in Most Cases—Write for a Free Sample.
