learning that the most effective and the most economical insurance against these destructive agencies is the use of pressure preserved lumber in the structural danger zone. It protects the home owner's big investment-and the house will have a much higher resale value.

Contrary to general misconceptions, pressure preserved lumber is not expensive. Treatment will cost about onesixth the price of fire insurance during the life of a longterm mortgage.

Here's_ one way to look at it. Undoubtedly you have worn a Cravanetted coat. The cloth was satirrited with an invisible water repellent that made it shed rain. It would _have been a good coat without water-proofing. It was a better coat because of the water-proofing.

You probably store wool garments during summer. You know from experience that, unless they are impregnated with repellent chemicals, chances ari that you will wind up the storage season with the cloth full of holes. The wool was good. Moth repellent made it better, and cost far less than replacing the garmetlts.

The lumber in your new house will be like that. Lumber is the finest structural material known to man. But it too has natural snsmlg5-lsrmites and decay fungi that will destroy it if given a chance. It can be fully protected only_by fo,rcing an approved preservative deep into the wood, under pressure ina closed cylinder. Superficial dipping or brushing preservative on fhe surface will not protect the wood adequately. That is like putting chicken wire on your wir.rdow screens and expecting it to keep out flies and mosquit_o_l. Wqod is good. Pressure treating makes it better.-Wood Preserving News.
