Of the mistakes commonly made in home building none is more frequent than faulty design and construction of chimneys and fireplaces. Though the use of the fireplace is
one of the oldest methods . of house heating there are few who understand its principles, and even experienced
masons frequently fall into errors in building which seriously detract from its efficiency.
No defect in the construction of the
house detracts more from the com
fort of the home, and none Is a greater menace to life and property than a poor chimney and fireplace.
Bad chimney design is also the
cause of much avoidable expense in heating the house.
An illustrated bulletin has Just been issued which gives the householder and prospective builder a working knowledge of the principles to be observed in planning and building these important parts of the . house. Thi3 is a free Government bulletin,

QUEBEC TO BOOST
LITERARY EFFORTS (By Associated Press) QUEBEC, Feb. 1. The provincial government is to encourage production of literature, a bill just having been passed by the legislature providing three annual cash prizes for budding authors. The highest is $2,500. The bill was sponsored by Athanas David, provincial secretary, himself a writer and the eon of L. O. David, of Montreal, a French-Canadian historian of note. ' Literary efforts will be judged by a jury of nine comprising professors of literature in the universities of Montreal, McGill and Laval; one member of the French section of the Royal Society of Canada; one member of a Quebec literary society; and the provincial secretary or his representative. For some years the government of Quebec has given encouragement to young writers of the province by buying large numbers of copies of their work.
