on some body of water, take a vacation 
and collect the interest in good times. It 
makes good red blood with which to meet 
the winter blasts, bring freckles instead 
of wrinkles, and creates an optimism with 
which to face the coal bill. 
A Woods Bungalow With City 
Conveniences 
(Continued from page 462) 
sized chest, a cabinet with eight drawers, 
twenty-four feet of shelving and innu¬ 
merable clothes hooks. All these things 
are economical luxuries and luxurious 
economies. 
The back porch was planned and fur¬ 
nished with a view to saving many trips 
to the cellar, thus keeping the daily tasks 
on one floor and furthering the city flat 
idea. Containing sixty feet of shelving, 
it provides a useful overflow for the 
kitchen end of the house. 
The reception hall was especially 
planned to insure privacy in the living- 
room and to avoid the abrupt entrance 
from the porch, so frequently seen in plans 
for bungalows. 
The central hall, besides providing a 
place into which every room door can 
open, thus saving doors between the 
rooms, makes a comfortable and conven¬ 
ient sitting-room for cold or stormy even¬ 
ings, as snug as any city flat. 
Although porches do not concern those 
who plan city apartments, ours is a feature 
of the place. The straight line of the roof 
was not disturbed by the addition of any 
piazza roof; instead the front door was 
set back four feet, making space on the 
side walls for two small square windows 
which supply acceptable light in two 
rooms, and one of which is used as a 
serving window when meals are eaten on 
the porch. Together with the unroofed 
part, this porch covers a space equal to a 
room ten feet square. The outer side and 
one end are finished with a built-in seat, 
long enough to accommodate nine or ten 
persons. The recessed arrangement for 
door and windows is a noticeable protec¬ 
tion when the weather is cold, rainy or 
windy. 
The dining-room contains a large built- 
in dresser, with shelving and closets from 
floor to ceiling from which two additional 
doors open on the kitchen side. The ir¬ 
regular part of the dining-room forms an 
alcove, which is curtained off and used to 
keep some of the less ornamental articles 
that are in constant use. A home-made 
rolling table saves many steps at meal 
time, and is also very useful in house¬ 
cleaning season. 
Light was let into the central hall, 
which would otherwise be dark when all 
the doors are closed, by replacing some of 
the horizontal door panels with panes of 
glass at a cost of seventy-five cents a 
panel.

EVIDENCE FROM EVERYWHERE 
Proof from all Points of the Compass of the Beautiful Coloring, 
Low Cost and Wearing Qualities of 
CABOT’S CREOSOTE STAINS 
North “. . . We used your grey stain at Squirrel Island three years ago. It I 
looks better every year. I also have a house here built two years ago, on 
which we used the grey stain on body and green on roof with the same 
satisfactory results.” H. G. Barker, Augusta, Me. 
South “ This is the same color stain as ordered from you six years ago, . . . 
and this order is for stable. The colors of the house have been a continual 
source of pleasure to us, and they seem to ripen with age.” 
S. Arthur Schieren, Bristol, Tenn. 
East “I used both your Shingle Stain and Sheathing Quilt in building a house 
some years ago, with great satisfaction, and hope to use both again on 
another that 1 contemplate erecting.” 
William S. Bate, New York City. 
West ‘‘I built two years ago — the painter used something ‘just as good as 
Cabot’s,’ but the stain faded out in less than two months. This last house 
has been built eighteen months. I saw that I got Cabot’s Stain direct 
from your Los Angeles agent, and the stain is as good today as when first 
applied — looks good!” O. Wheeler, Claremont, Cal. 
C The above and hundreds of other spontaneous letters of approval from \ 
pleased purchasers show that you are sure of the best results—handsome, lasting, 
economical—when you use the genuine Cabot’s Stains; and you will also have 
your shingles, sidings, etc., thoroughly preserved, because “Creosote is the best 
wood preservative known.” They are the first shingle stains ever made, and the 
standard, recommended by architects and conscientious dealers. If you use a 
“cheap” stain made of crude, tawdry colors mixed in kerosene you will spoil your 
job and waste your money. 
C You can get Cabot's Stains all over the country. Send for stained wood 
samples and name of nearest agent.
