With Five-Room Accommodations.
of workmen catered to, proximity to
large cities and the facilities for trans-
portation.
Heretofore the detached house has
generally been conceded the most sat-
isfactory solution to the problem, but
Is a ready market for Ineome-prorttie
Ing property, and In sections where
ground values are high the*'multiple
dwelling provides a much more lucra-
tive investiueut than the detached
house.
Floor Plan Important.
In order to make the small apart-
ment building a distinct success, the
most Important thing to consider Is the
floor plan of the apartments. An
elaborate elevation is entirely unneces-
sary and only adds to the cost of the
bulldlug, but when It comes to the
floor plan no Ide.t should be overlooked
which will economize spuce or save
liousework. It costs no more to build
from a good plan than It does from a
poor one. In fact, poor layouts are
often more expensive.
In building for Industrial purposes
it is absolutely necessary to keep the
building costs down us low as possible,
whether the upurtments ure to be rent-
ed or sold outright. The average work-
man Is a man with a family of from
three to five, consequently maximum
sleeping accommodations must be pro-
vided without materially increasing the
cost of the building. In carrying out
the modern ideas of efficiency, all un-
necessary rooms must be dispensed
with entirely.
The accompanying floor plans are for
buildings for four or six families each
(depending on whether two or three
stories high), and the striking feature
of each building Is the vast saving of
space effected by eliminating bed-
rooms.
Plan No. 1 Is for a building only 32
feet wide and 41 feet long, and can be
built on a lot only 40 feet wide, yet
there are tsvo apartments on each floor,
each apartment having sleeping accom-
modations for four people. These are
really the old-style five-room apart-
ments 4'boiled down," so to speak, to
the modern "efficiency" upurtments of
three rooms. The two bedrooms of
the flve-ro9iu apartment are complete-
ly eliminated by concealed beds, which
convert the living nnd dining rooma
Into sleeping rooms at night. During
the day we have the same living room,
dining room and kitchen as the old-
style five-room apartment. At night we
have a kitchen and two large, ulry
sleeping rooms. Each room has a pri-
vate access to the bathroom.. This
plan Is used successfully in many sec-
tions of the country nnd is much more
efficient than the old plan of eliminat-
ing the dining room, compelling the
housewife to serve meals in the kitchen.
Sometimes it Is advisable to have at
least one regular bedroom. In such
instances a plan such as No. 2 Is used.
This plan is for a building 34 feet by
42 feet nnd represents the old style
six-room apartment with two bedrooms
eliminated, reducing it to four rooms.
In addition to the living room, dining
room nnd kitchen there is one bed-

'There's a Reason.
after n careful survey of the situation
t lie large industrial Institutions
throughout the country are rapidly
awakening to the fact that the mul-
tiple dwelling or apartment building
possesses many advantages over tho
single house.
hi the multiple dwelling a number
of families tire housed under one roof.
The number of apartments in each
building vuries to meet conditions.
Some communities find the four-family
liouse more successful, some the six-
fnmlly and others find the larger build
ings, housing from eight to twenty-four
families, best suited to their, needs.
At tills time we will discuss the small-
er buildings containing four to six
apartments each. The advantages of |
tiiis type of building are worthy of i
much consideration.
Construction Costs Reduced.
First of nil. construction costs are ;
greatly reduced by housing a number I
of families under one roof. On ac-
count of the party walls, less material ,
Is required and a big saving Is also af-
fected In plumbing, rooting, painting i
and excavating.
Next comes the saving of ground. By j
building multiple dwell.ngs more fami- j
lies can be accommodated on a given |
ground space, thereby overcoming any j
luck of transportation, as more con- i
centrntlon Is made possible and it Is
nut necessary to spread the Industrial
cities over so much territory.
From a purely Investment point of
view, the multiple dwelling Is very at-
tractive. The apartments are In great
demand by people who do not wish to
assume the responsibility of owning
their own home and the rent derived
provides n very good income on the
money Invested by the builder.
It 1st customary at the present time
to encourage the workmen to purchase
their homes on the deferred payment
I plan, making the payments out of their
| savings. This plan encourages thrift

room. Otherwise the same Ideas con
talned in plan No. 1 are carried out.
Eliminating Bedrooms Economy.
Great economy In construction, fur-
nishing and housework is gained by
eliminating as many bedrooms as pos-
sible and making the living and dining
rooms do double duty, serving as bed-
rooms at nlglit when they are no long-
er needed for oilier purposes.

cessfully for many years in high-grade

ABRAHAM GIVING ISAAC TO GOD.
LESSON TEXT-Oenesls 22:t-M.
GOLDEN TEXT—I wilt give him unto
the I.ord all the days of his life.—I Sam-
uel 1:11.
DEVOTIONAL READING—Luke 14:25-
%.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR
TEACHERS—Genesis 18:1-6; 18:9-15; 21-1-12.
1. Abraham Teated (w. 1, 2).
God does not tempt men to sin
(James 1:13), but he subjects them to
rigid tests to prove them. In the treat-
ment of Abraham we have a supreme
example. God tested Abraham, not
Lot. Sodom tested Lot. God tests
the man who is proof against the tests
of Sodom. God had promised Abra-
ham nn heir through whom blessings
were to come to the World. For many
years his faith wr.s sorely tried In wait-
ing for Its fulfillment. At length, his
heart rejoiced In the realization of
that hope. In the lad In the patri-
arch's tent were wrapped Abraham's
hopes of the future when his seed
should be as the stars for multitude.
Ills was no ordinnry expectation. The
human affections nnd hopes were, no
doubt, Included; but a new nation was
to spring from him, nnd Isaac was the
sole link making the connection. Then,
too, he saw the coming Redeemer, for
"Abraham saw my dny nnd was glad"
(John 8:56). It is only as we thus
see all that Isaac meant to his fa-
ther and God's purpose for the future
of the world, that we really can appre-
ciate the crucial test that came to
Abraham. A test In some sense sim-
ilar comes to many Chrlstlnn fathers
and mothers. God Is calling for sons
nnd daughters to be offered on the al-
tnr of his service. The test is some-
thing terrific, as some who have given
up sons nnd daughters for the mission
field can testify. It Is only as God is
known to be almighty (Genesis 17 :t)
shall ability be given to give them up.
II. Abraham Standing the Test (w.
2-10).
1. On the way (w. 3, 4). Abraham
promptly obeyed. There was neither
hesitancy nor arguing. God had Is-
sued the command. At his call Abra-
ham said: "Here am I" (v. 1). He
could not say "No" to God. In the-
ordinary nfTalrs of life we call a man
weak who cannot say "No," who has
no will of his own; but the man who
could not say "No" to God, we count
Btrong. Early In the morning lie was
on the way to the place of which God
had told him. All who really believe
in Gtji will yield themselves to him
without question, reserve, or shrinking.
Anything short of this Is not consecra-
tion. We should not stop to ask how
or why. It is enough to know that God
has spoken.
2. "Abide ye here" (v. 5). This test-
ing experience was too sacred for hu-
man eyes to gaze upon. How like
this the words of Jesus In Gethsera-
ane: 'Tarry ye here." Human sympa-
thy is sweet, and Is to be prized, but
we need to be alone In times of great
testing. There are times when hu-
man sympathy hinders us from doing
our duty. When Abraham said: "We
■ will come down again to you," he
! spoke sincerely, for he believed that
! God would give him Isaac back from
the dead (Heb. 11:19).
3. Isaac bearing the wood upon
which he is to be offered (vv. 6, 7).
T*ns reminds us of Christ bearing the
cross on the way to Calvary. Isaac must
have been now a young man. He did
not resist or cry out, but graciously
submitted, showing that he Is making
a willing sacrifice.
4. The angel of the Lord calls (w.
8-12). At the critical moment when
Abraham's hand had lifted the gleam-
ing blade to make real the offering,
God Interfered. God did not want hu-
man sacrifice as a burnt offering, but
he wnnted Abraham to give up to him
his best, the surrender of his will
to him. God Is always pleased with
submissive obedience. "To obey is
better than sacrifice." Many times
we nre face to face with the test of
giving up our fondest hopes and pur-
poses, but when we have met the test
as Abraham did. we get back our offer-
ing or greater things instead. ,
III. God Will Provide Himself ■
Lamb (vv. 13, 14).
Just behind Abraham was a ram
caught In n thicket by his horns, ntm
Abraham offered instead of his son.
In the words "God will provide himself
a lamb (v. 8) we have the whole plan
of redemption outlined.. God has pro-
vided the costly sacrifice of his Son to
satisfy himself.
You Can't Eat Meat
100 Miles Away
Preparing meat is only a part
of Swift & Company's usefulness.
The finest meat in the world
wouldn't do you any good one
hundred miles away from your
table.
Swift & Company efficiency has made
it possible to place complete lines of
products in the smallest and most remote
communities.
To be sure the work is done well
Swift & Company, through its branch
houses and car routes, brings the meat to
the retail dealer for you.
Swift & Company lays out car routes
covering towns—big, little, medium size
—which are not served by a Swift
branch house.
Salesmen find out in advance what is
wanted by the dealers in every town.
They are followed by refrigerator cars
loaded with retailers' orders, which are
delivered at each town—fresh, clean, and
sweet—once or twice each week.
Swift & Company operates a large
number of car routes like this, from four-
teen distributing plants.
This is a necessary and natural part
of the packers' usefulness. It fits into
the industry in an orderly, effective way.
It makes better meat cheaper from one
end of the land to the other.

Scenes of Prosperity
Are Common in Western Canada
The thousands of U. S. farmers who have accepted
Canada's generous offer to settle on homesteads or buy
farm land in her provinces have been well repaid by
bountiful crop3 of wheat and other grains.
Where you can buy good farm land at $15 to $30
per acre—get $2 a bushel for wheat and raise 20 to
45 bushels to the acre you are bound to make money
—that's what you can do in Western Canada.
In the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or
Alberta you can get a
HOMESTEAD OF 160 ACRES FREE
and other land at very low prices.
During many years Canadian
wheat fields h ave averaged 20 bushels
to the acre—many yields as high as
45 bushels to the acre. Wonderful
crops also of Oats, Barley, and Flax.
Mixed Farming is as profitable an
industry as grain raising. Good
