The world has turned from destruction to reconstruction. Increas
ed activity and improvement in real estate will bring an increased
need for fire insurance. Greatly advanced replacement cost will
call for larger policies. It is well to be prepared for contingencies,
over which you have no cbntrol by placing your business with an
agency whose reputation has been gained by more than 25 years
of practical experience.

MUCH WOMAN-POWER WASTED

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on ail subjects pertaining to the
subject of building work on the farm, 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. Rad

In this age of conservation one of
the most appalling wastes is the waste
of woman-power in doing housework—
especially housework in the farm
home. In the shop and factory, ex
perts are constantly on the watch for
any unnecessary waste of effort, to
see that human power is not used for
anything that mechanical power,
which is cheaper, could do. The aver
age farm home is run entirely by wom
an-power, the most costly kind of pow
er to be found anywhere, while a lit
tle planning and not a great deal of
money could put In a new equipment
or rearrange the old to relieve an end
less amount of weariness.
Take the arrangement of the kitch
en. The average woman wastes a lot
of energy in useless walking. The
kitchen furnishings are arranged
around the wall in such a way that
she crosses and recrosses the central
floor space from one to another. The
position of windows, doors and sta
tionary furniture sometimes makes ii
difficult to adjust things in the most
^ - --r ... .=
convenient way, but It would pay
every housekeeper to sit down and
consider Just how things could be
planned to require the least walking.
Conveniences for Kitchen.
A medium-sized house, 20 by 38 feet
in size, Is shown here, which has a
splendid kitchen occupying the rear
corner of the house where It has
plenty of light and ventilation from
the different windows. The connection
between the kitchen and pantry Is In
tended to make these two rooms into
a very satisfactory workshop with su
perior conveniences for doing the
housework. There is a bakery work
table In front of a large window In
the pantry for making pastry that

takes this kind of work out of the
kitchen.
Another feature that farm house
keepers will appreciate is the wash
room for the men in the entry be
tween the kitchen and the side porch.
This entry also provides a good cor
ner'for the refrigerator. It is not nec
essary for the men to go into the
kitchen at meal time. The entry from
the side porch gives a passageway di
rectly into the dining room. However,
the kitchen is large enough to hold a
small dining table if desired.
There are often defects in kitchen
furniture and fixtures that make trou
--
ble. One of the major worries of archl*
tects and contractors in town is thfl
placing of the kitchen sink—woraed
seem to be inexplicably fussy ovea
such a small affair. The kitchen sinl^
however, is not a trifling matter to thd
woman who uses it three times and
more a day; no wonder she wnnts td
have it in the right place. What shd
generally overlooks and what is mord
important is the height at which it la
placed. Not one sink in a hundred la
Second Floor Plan. ^
set high enough'for a woman of avei^
age height and the stooping and bendt,
ing over working surfaces that ar®
too low puts possibly more drudgery)
into housework than any other on®
thing.
Arrangement of Sink. '<
The sink should be adjusted to suit
the height of the woman who is to
use it; it should have a short shelf
for stacking dishes at the right and
a wide drainboard at the left, with a;
cupboard above; this is the only ar<*
rangement that provides for no un*
necessary work in the process of dish
washing. There should ue no cup
board under the sink—it is dark and ;
hard to keep clean, and It means
Btooplng almost to the floor to reach
Into. It.
An arrangement that will be a con
stant comfort to the housekeeper is
a cupboard or closet about two feet
wide beside the cook-stove, running
from the floor to a height of about six
feet, with hooks, racks and shelves for
holding cooking utensils, and a simi
lar cupboard for brooms, brushes, car
pet-sweeper, vacuum cleaner, etc. A
well-planned kitchen cabinet, either a
separate piece of furniture or built-in,
is a concrete example of a mechanical
provision for time and labor-saving;
a woman can “turn out a whole bak
ing” without moving a step to reach
any of her supplies.
The dining room and living room
should be finished in the same kind
of woodwork, in such a way as to
make two very handsome rooms. The
built-in sideboard should be con
structed of the same kind of wood as
the base-board, door and window cas
ings and other trim of the dining room
and living room.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms
and a bathroom, with convenient
clothes closets. Always the bathroom
should be built in a farm house at the
time of building. It is not absolutely
necessary to put in the plumbing un
til later, but the room should be pro
vided and the pipes laid in the parti
tions and under the floors, ready to
connect with the fixtures at any fu
ture time.
The manner of building the roof is
economical, because the bedrooms are
taken from what would otherwise be
waste space. This arrangement gives
more room for the amount of money
expended than any other style of
house.
Asbestos.
The property of asbestos which ren
ders it of economic importance is that
it is formed of elastic and flexible
fibers. These are sufficiently tough to
be woven into a kind of cloth which
resists intense heat without fusing or
burning. Such a cloth was much used
in ancient times. The fact of its fire
resisting properties gave it the name
of asbestos—that is, the unconsumable.
Getting Your “Rights."
You may get your rights by insisting
on them, but you will never get sat
isfaction. The people who go through
life exacting certain things from those
about them, claiming jealously what
they consider their due, miss all that
makes life glad. Spontaneous affec
tion, love which bubbles up like a
spring, kindness which, finds its re
ward in the doing, are never the por ’
tion of people who claim their rights.
