loving and luxury neektng. put on his
touches of the modern and made it Into a
moat convenient house. Perhapa It Is the
moat convenient dwelling devijed by man.
It haa everything on one floor and there
la no need for elevators.
The bungalow la as suitable to the city as
to the country, but requires much spare,
and when real estate is high, men whose
money la not unlimited naturally turn their
attention rather to flats or some other
type of dwelling which affords a maximum
of interior space upon a minimum of
ground space. '''
The bungalow also reu,uires a n.Mness of
treatment which Is not always suitable
for the city dwelling. It refuses to con- I
form to the convention of paint and var- 1
nlsh, nor to the smooth exemplification of 1 present popularity of the bungalow.
the mason's art. I-ilke the wild forest or
the bprren cliff to which It traces Its
origin, demands to be wild and rough
hewn.
A form of house coming Into popularity,
however, might bo called the semi-bungalow,
that Is a building modeled on bungalow
lines, but somewhat elaborated Ir; Certain
featurea. This adaptation Is Just as pic
turesque as the old-time bungalow, but has
a number of modern conveniences added.
The fact that all the rooms are on one
floor and that everything is most con
venient and that the house Is more roomy.
these are somo of the reasons for th
Now is the appointed time; now is the
day of building, according to an Omaha
contractor who has sited the state of the
material market and the labor market and
compared it carefully with what It was
last year and what It U likely to be a
year henoe.
"The one great reason why building oper.
at Ions should be undertaken now or why
contract for supplies should be entered
into I that they can be made on more
advantageous terms," he said. "Materials
csn be secured for lower price, will be
delivered more promptly and In a more sat
isfactory manner than either during
er lw.
"A a general proposition lumber now Is
being sold for 10 to IS per cent lea than
during last year. In some cases, where
trade I supplied, a reduction to that ex
tent haa not been made. However, 10 rr
cent probably represent about the general
decline In the retail price of building ma
terial." The speaker then produced a table chow
Irg price secured by a man who wa con
templating building in an Ohio city last
year, and figure on the same work exactly,
secured this year. They are follow:

Lumber from 14 to M a thousand leas.
These 1907 prices were made during the
latter part of last year and the 1908 prices
were made this month.
"It I high time," he continued, "that
the public informed Itself of this state of
affair In order that tt may take advan
tage of It In time and derive very material
benefit therefrom for it will probably not
last much longer."
When th sum stated above are added
It will be seen that total cost of building
the house In lftT would have been S3.S14.
while In June, loS, the cost would be only
12.727. This 1 a saving of 11,0(57 on the
- building, or S per cent. This la probably
n exceptional case and certain It is that
all building could not be done now for
. taearly one-third less than last year. How
aver, it, la equally sure that the. cost of
building 1 now very materially less than
It wa last fall. The showing is sufficiently
strong to warrant those who contemplate
' building . in investigating the prices and
"'getting busy" before it is too late.
Bungalows are Invading the city. Today
there are several of these bouses under
construction to several part of th city.
. They ara to be used aa homes by their
owner. The bungalow 1 acknowledged

Economical Value of Good Painting
"The cost of painting Is always a ques
tion which seriously concerns the superin
tendent. It Is a charge against the prop
erty which, like insurance, taxea and gen
eral repairs, should be apportioned In ad
vance over a series of years. The real
estate agent never calls attention' to this
charge when he tries so hard to show a
possible client how little it will cost tu
maintain a modest little apartment in the
city. Taxes are easily anortloned, interest
on the Investment Is a fixed quantity, street
and sidewalk and water improvements can
all be anticipated and general repairs
figured down to a nicety. But painting!
That Is so fur In the future that It is rarely
considered by the novice eager to own his
home. . But at the end of the second yesr
the freshness of the paint is a little dimmed
by exposure to wind and storms and by
the third aeason the place begin to look
'genteelly shabby.' It needs paint to re
tain Us self-respect; but, more than that,
It demands paint to prevent 'dry rot' In
the very bones of its structure. The in
sidious work of decomposition attacKs
pillar and post and finds its wsy among
the large timbers which are so expensive
to replace. To prove this, scrape away
the paint of three years old under the
cornices, beneath the plasza pillars or be
neath the side sheathing. The surprise
which will greet the eyes will convince
the most sceptical that repainting I badly
needed.
"In attempting to figure upon the eo6t
of repainting it la essentia) that an ap
proximate number of square feet should
be ascertained. This is essily obtained by
measuring the he'ght and length of the
structure and multiplying them together.
Painters have rule for this work which
they apply somewhat rigidly, always mak
ing plenty of allowance for error. Thus
11 opening, such window and doors,
are figured upon a plain surfaces to ho
covered with paint, although no part of
them other than th sills and sides are
touched with paint."
Walls that have been painted can be
cleaned, provide the paint has not begun
to perish. In cleaning a pointed wsll It
Is best to have two men working together,
one following the other. In this way there
la not much risk of spotting or streaking
A stretch of three or four feet is as mui h
as ahould be done at a tlm. First dampen
the wall with a sponge that has-been
saturated with clean water. Follow this
with soap-suds from caslile sosp ami wsrm
water and apply same with a calcimine
brush, scrubbing a little. When the dirt
baa been softened in thl manner scrub
with a solution mad by boiling th shav
ings of one pound of caatU soap in a half
gallon of watts, atlning In two pounds
of fin bolted whiting, and allow to cool.
IMp a brush Into this mixture and scrub,
taking csrc not to scrub harder than is
required to remove the dirt. Sponge off
immediately with clean, soft water and
wipe down with a wet chamois that has
been wrung out. Care should be taken
that too much water is not used on the
wall. The sponge and chamois should be
wrung out as often as possible and the
water changed quite frequently. The work
should bo started at the bottom and con
tinued towsrd the celling. The celling is
then clesned In a similar manner. When
the walls or ceilings are smoky, a little
household ammonia added to the snap
suds will add to their efficacy in removing
dirt.
It is seldom, indeed, nowsdays that a
place of any pretensions to completeness
Is not furnished with what 1b termed "hard
wood floors," but the great variety of i
woods now used under this term and the
equally varied methods of treatment of
these woods furnish material for endless
discussion. Shall the floors be of oak or
birch, beech or maple, or hard rlne? And,
indeed, it is not uncommon of late to see
some of the softer woods pressed Into
service for floors, sometimes for supposed
economy, sometimes for the color effects
which are poFslhle In the softer and more
open grained woods, such as cypress, pine
or the southern gum wood. None will deny
that the wearing quality Is of prime im
pel tam-e, but that need not Interfere with
bringing out the speeHl beauty possessed
by thd woods themselves beauty which
lies In the grain, the texture, the surface
appearance, the natural shading of the
natural woods snd the effects produced by
color treatment In various ways.
It Is not so very long since oak was the
only wood thought of for hardwood floors.
People thought It was the only correct
thing. But within a few years many new
and surprising effects hsve been developed
from other hard woods or combinations
of them, such as maple and the birch and
beech woods from Mlchlgnn forests.
Foi dark rich effects oak has no equal.
The house of our English ancestors were
of csk and in some cses even their
tarred edifices and the test of time shows
them sfter a lapse of s veral hundred

irg the stone and brick with which thse
structures have been repaired.
The Amerlcsn white oak concerns us
more thsn any other. It grow in dense
fc.tcsts, hss a straight trunk r.niet!nis
reaching fifty or tlxty fret without
branches and often four and five feel in
diameter. Its bark is rather smoother
tbsn that of other spe ies and of a lic'tit- r
color from which it takes its name snd
not from the color of the wood, as is com

CAN DO HIS OWN COOKING
Answer to Man Who Sue Railroad
for Bad Food In Grad
ing Camp.
If a member of a railroad construction
gang does not like the food dished out at
the camp cafe, it is up to him to buy his
own. cooking outfit and be his own chef.
This substantially Is tho position of a Jury
in Judge Troup's court, which returned a
verdict for the Union Pacific in the suit
mhirh Austin Braun sued tne rauroaa
unsanitary condl-
ways, known as plain and quarter sawn.
The plain sawed shows an extremely coarse
md common figure, vl.lle quarter sawing
develops a beautiful grain, the surface of
which does not check In drying nor curl
as does the plain sawed lumber. Quarter
sawed oak Is, of course, quite expensive
on account of the waste of material, but
the advantage to appearance and durability
can scarcely he overestimated.
Maple is very dense and hard and takes
a beautiful polish. Its light cheery color
ing Is most effective where light color
schemes are used and for bed room floors
is par excellence. With but a protective
finish applied some maple is nlmost Ivory
In tone and Is a perfect back ground lor
dainty boudoir rugs In soft colorings. An
upstairs maple floor Is recalled, whl'-h was
in such perfect condition ns to occasion
remark, having been finished with floor
stain two years before and not since
touched except the ordinary dust. Truth
compels the further explanation that the
finish hod three months In which to
harden perfectly before a foot trod upon
It.
Beech and birch are used considerably
and they not only answer the demand of I
durability but are susceptable of a beau- I
tiful finish .and will receive a variety of j
color stains. A birch floor renlly demands
a stain as Its natural shading Is so varied
as to produce an unpleasant striped effect
If laid alone, unless more carefully selected
and matched up than usually happens.
Mahogany stains seem best adapted to
it.
Beech takes an excellent walnut stain,
and will also receive a grei-n flemish tinge,
making It appropriate for use with the
almost universal green color schemes now
In vogue.
The possibilities and combinations are
endless to the worker in wood and our
modern parquetry floors are a rival to the
more expensive tile and mosaic.
The first thing, of course, is to he sure
your flooring Is of the best quality of its
kind and too much stress csnnot be laid
on unhurried finishing. With the end al
most in sight tt is so hard to wait to get
Into the new house where it looks all right.
Bit to have a permanent finish to our
floors we must have time. The wax or
varnish should be put on in thin even
coats and allowed to thoroughly harden
before a second coat Is applli-d. Two
weeks Is not too long to aMw for the
finishing of the floors, though it is often
allowed nut three or four days. The wax
finish for floors gives a rich even surface
and is not more difficult to maintain than
other finishes. Oil is not to be thought ot
where besuty is a consideration. It
darkens the floors, holds the dust to it and
has no finished surface.

Rlner claimed the food that wa given
him was fly bitten and that no provision
was made to keep flies out of the eating
tent. He also complained the water was
hauled from a river some distance from
camp and allowed to stand until it became
infected. The defense asserted Braun was
overfastidlous about his eating and that
if he was dissatisfied he could have pre
pared his own meals.
