The cornloe whloh surmounts the columns must bo In proportion to the home, the width of the columns In a certain propor tion to their height and each minor detail boars a well defined proportion - to the whole. It Is therefore only possible for one who has bad long experience and de tailed knowledge of classic styles to cor rectly design a colonial horn. Since the exterior and the plan are In separably there are always certain feat urea In the planning of a colonial home whJoh must be taken Into consideration. ' The portloo would not look well If built to ; one aid of tha front facade. Neither would the front door look well If built one side of the portloo. The portloo, ' therefore, must be placed exactly In the center of the front, with the front en 1 trance exactly In the center of the portloo. Vuis means that the reception hall must I be In the center of the house, and cannot be placed In one corner, which Is allow able In small home of other styles. Plac ing the reception hall In the center of the bom when It Is broad offers other ad vantages than that of exterior appearance. Ths two front, comers on the main floor are the most valuable parts of the home. From these rooms street views can be ob , tatned in two directions. It also reserves corners - on the second floor for bed- I rooms. A colonial horns looks well at the top of a hill, but never on a hillside, unless a wall be built and a level plateau made for MR.

Tha most desirable loca tion for a colonial home Is a perfectly level lot, not over four feet above the pub llo walk and set back at least fifty feet from the walk. A greater distance Is preferable. While a colonial home can be built on an ordinary slxed lot. It looks far better If situated well back, on a lot 100 or more feet In width. Architectural styles come and go In this country, the same as styles In dress, but after each new style has been developed It seems that we soon tire of tt and go back again to the style belonging to a period In our history that Is always dear to American hearts. The colonial period was. In fact, tha only one In our history when architecture, furn ishings, decorations, btic-a-brao and cloth ing were all In harmony, and so thorough ,wai the development of the style In all things that It will no doubt always endure after all other styles have been tried and found wanting. A Break for Liberty from stomach, liver and kidney trouble Is made when a ZBo box ot Dr. King's New Life Pills Is bought. For sale by Beaton Drug Co. A system of uniform decoration for all house and lawns In Omaha's "Prettiest Mile" was considered Thursday by the "Prettiest Mile Club" In a meeting held at the residence of Oeorge W. Covert. It was proposed to secure the services of a landscape gardener, who will plan the best way to make Improvements of a uni form character, and make suggestions for painting residences, planting roses and other shrubbery, until the Florence boule vard from Ames avenue to Miller park will be not only Omaha's "Prettiest Mile," but the most unique and striking In the country. A special committee reported that the paving of Twenty-fourth street had been ordered by the mayor and council, and, at a suggestion of the city engineer, a petition Is being circulated to have the street graded in advance of the paving. Messrs. Pllworth and Duffy were ap pointed a special committee to ascertain whether more street lights, either gas or electrlo, can be secured. A special committee was) appointed to make plans for advertising Miller park, which is practically a municipal field club, open to the publlo for athletics of all kinds, such as base ball, a very fine golf course and ood tennis courts. The purpose of this contemplated advertising is to inform the publlo of the beauties of this park, which has now the finest pavilion of any park in the city. The committee consists of Messrs. Pllworth, Covert, Banford, Oratton and Bolton. The club's first efforts for improvements has met with success, and a six-foot ce ment sidewalk, a mile In length, Is being laid from Ames avenue to Miller park, along tha boulevard. The week Just ended showed some im provement over the previous seven days in tha matter of realty transfers, yet business was not up to expectations. There la general and steady movement for vacant lots, but there is a marked lack of larger sales. Real estate men, however, report that many Inquiries are being made, and tbey are not In the least discouraged. President Cavers of the Cavers Elevator company announces that a lfiO.OOO-bushel addition may be built soon to the 200,000 capacity property on the Iowa side of the river. The company Is at present gleaning figures on the probable cost of the im provement, and definite action is likely to be taken within the next few days.

It hows rou just which formula of LINCOLN CLIMATIC PAINT is 1 especially adapted or "pre-acclimated" to use in your climate. The formulas are numbered and symbolized so there can be no mistake. PAINT mast fit your climate to endure. The trouble with all ready-tnixed paint in the past has been due to ignorance of that fact. Climate always has been paint's "worst enemy." In so far ' as paint is concerned climate means humidityor how dry or how dump is ths atmosphere. Look, if you please at the map. It represents our country a nation a continent wide. It has four elknstes -not one. The map shows you the divisions. Yet each American manufacturer heretofore bas made his paint on the tme formula for damp and dry sections alike on the incorrect assumption that this is a one-climate country. Naturally,-different brands would have different formulas. But no one brand ver has been made oa more than one formula until now. Yet a paint that is good where the humidity or degree of moisture is above 80 per cent, is bad where 11 IS .TV IC1 lUI, mmm M JLincoin ) In tha more moist climates there should be a larger pro portion ot tine in the paint. In dry climates there should be a larger proportion ot lead. The hard noes of sino coun teracts tha softening effect ot moisture. Zlac Is used In paint for ths purpose ot hardening or tem per id a: the soilness of the lead, but too much sine would make a paint so hard and inelastic that it could not stick to ths surface. Of this yoS) snay be sural When tha surface ot ths wood or iron expands under the heat ot ths sun and teats ths paint coat apart causing It to crack and pal, and pull off in scales there is too much sino to the paint tor ths relative dryness ot ths climate. Of this you may else be poeMves Too saucu whits lead in paint nsed in s damp climate tnakes a paint coating that is so loft that it will not wear. The linseed oil not being sufficiently hardened is soon destroyed ths (excess moisture hurry ing the process) and leaves ths lead loose on ths surface to be blown off by the wind, or rubbed off on ths first coat sleevs that comes In contact with it. k This Is ckelkiag The dampness act ually turns ths paint into a lead chalk.
