Key to the Situation Bee Advertising.
T HAS been truthfuUj raid
from the standpoint of the
writer at lean that n Ion
without a fireplace in like 1
"Itomeo and Juliet without R
Romeo. There was a tlmo
when the fireplace wan the practical and
necessary means of heating the hornrt.
For many centuries the opon fire with a
chimney to carry away tho smoke was
accepted without question a tho only
possible way of heating a home or tulld
ing, and the Idea of providing more
economical scientific ways of heating did
not engage the attention of Inventor
, i n , M TlAnUmln Ern titlit. 1t1fnf.1 Mft
! "Franklin stove." which after all was
i simply a portnbto flrcplacu on loga made
of-tfieet Iron, ills theory being- that the
sheet lroh would reflect the heut. which
naturally went baclt Into the chimney
and was wasted, and 1 that much
gained. On this many Improvements
have been made- until we have the mod
em heating plants with which all an
j familiar.
The fireplace therefore, Is not neces
sity today, and with tho exception of the
southern part of the country Is rio longer
considered the practical :ncant of heat
ing a home. It Is true that they give
off considerable heat when properly
built, but one fireplace of sufficient slxe
to heat a single room will bum up almost
enough fuel, If used continually night
and day, to heat the entire houns, but
by more modorn methods. There are
tlmnn, 'however, especially In the fall and
spring and occasionally on n chilly wet
day In the summer when it Is mom
economical to start a fire In the fire
place and let It bum an hour or two
than to lino a considerable amount of fue'
necessary to fire tip tho heating- plant
whloh would wasto much of Its heat oi
rooms where It Is not needed.
The principal use of a fireplace, how
ever, 'Is a sentimental one. Take senti
ment away from a home nnd It Is no
longer a home.' Sentiment enters Into
the planning of a home to a large ex
tent, .since It Is In the sentiment of a
home that It haa Its conception. It Is
sentiment that Inspires that, design of a
home and shapes Its parts. Without love,
homo Is a barren pile. With It, It ful
fills our highest conception of peace and
happiness. I nover call It a house, al
ways preferring to call It "home." Love
(Its essential foundation), mother (who
alone oan make It) and the home are
the three most beautiful words In the
English language. When some people.
Increase in Building
Building Is extremely active all over the
country particularly In tho large grou.
of cities the growth and the prosperity
f which have come to mean so much to
this country. Official reports from eighty
six cities to Construction NewB shows
thst permits were taken out In Novem
ber for ls.f.M buildings Involving a total
estimated cost of $64,063,323 as against
17,151 buildings representing a total cost
of $W,03,7m for the same month a year
ago, an Increase of 1,423 buildings and
U.CS.MO or 7 per cent. Of the entire llat
thra were Increases' In sixty-one and
decreases In twenty-five, the' list of
cities In which there were Increases be
ing much larger than In any previous
month for a long time. The cities In
which there, wero losses are widely dis
tributed; In many Instances the, same
cities have shown a long period of ac
tivity In building construction or In a
section In which tho other cities show
marked Increases, so there need be no
apprehension In regard to the condition'
of affairs In the cities In which there
were losses. The figures In detail are as
