HEATING THE HOME 
Will you advise me as to the best 
method and the best plan to install for 
heating my residence which is now being 
planned. I appeal to you feeling that 
your extensive experience will be val¬ 
uable to me. 
Answer: I am sending you the ad¬ 
dress of several firms who can supply 
you with literature in regard to heating 
your house, also estimates. Any one of 
the methods recommended will be sat¬ 
isfactory to you as we are very careful 
to advise only such as we know have 
been tried for years under varying con¬ 
ditions giving the best possible results.

hundred and fifty feet deep. We have 
made a lattice in front a little way, 
about six feet high. Now what would 
you have over this screen ? 
Mrs. G. W. B. 
The first thing to do is to root out all 
the remains of the old grape vines, and 
renew the fertility of the soil. Carting 
away part and bringing in virgin soil 
from a pasture, and adding to it some 
well decayed manure, would be the ideal 
course to pursue. The removal of one 
foot in depth in the space required 
would do, but the more the better. At 
the posts, where you plant, have at least 
nine square feet well prepared, digging 
it at least two feet deep. The deeper 
it is dug, the more luxuriant the growth 
will be. 
When you obtain your roses, or any 
vine used, it is best to cut them back to 
within one foot of the base, and depend 
entirely upon new canes for future 
embellishment. You will have much 
better effect the second year than if left 
uncut. If you desire to hasten the 
bushy effect, plant two roses at each 
post, cutting one back as above suggested 
and cutting all canes but one of the 
stronger plant. 
Will this be the 
withYOUR new House? 
Here’s a plain sketch to illustrate a 
point. Study the course the arrows take. 
They show the usual distribution of heat 
in houses where poor sheathing is used. 
Note the failure of this heat to reach 
the exposed walls of the rooms because 
of draughts that filter through cheap 
sheathing paper, impossible to change 
once the house is built. 
NEPONSET 
.SHEATHING PAPER 
Keeps Houses Warm 
Don’t be argued into using rosin 
papers and cheap tarred felts—they 
split open and let in dampness and 
draughts. Insist on NEPONSET 
waterproof sheathing paper—see 
that it’s used—it soon earns its 
cost in the coal it saves.
