Protect Your Property With
Certain-teed Roofing
Certain-teed Roofing shelters
jrour property against the sever
est storms. Driving rain will
^develop no leaks. Melting snow
and ice will find no cracks or
crevices through which to enter.
Certain-teed keeps the interiors
of your bams and other buildings
dry. It protects their contents
from damage by water.
For when Certain-teed is proper
erly laid, it is firmly cemented
together. It makes an impene
trable one-piece roof.
And Certain-teed has other
advantages. It is fire-retarding
and spark-proof. It is guaran
teed for 5, 10 or 15 years,
according to weight.
%'
Yet Certain-teed Roofing costs
less to buy, less to lay and less
to maintain, than any other type
of good roofing.
See you dealer about Certain
teed. He either has it or can
get it quickly from a nearby
Certain-teed distributing center.

? ? . NIAGARA FALLS.
IK you can imagine a river three
fourths <?f a mile wide, 20 feet deep
in tlio middle, and containing thou
frauds and thousand* of Ions of water,
suddenly tumbling over a cliff 100 feet
high and dashing on the rocka below
with h deftfening roar and Jhrowlng
up huge clouds of mist and spray, you
Utkw home impression of what Ni
agara Fails. the wonld'i best-known
at)d most popular waterfall, is like.
? This niujestlc cataract Is Mltuated In
the Niagara river, between Lake Wrle
and Lake Outarlo and aear the elty
of Buffalo, N. Y. Ny-ah-ga-rah is aD
Iiullan word, meaning Thundering.
Water*. ' Members of the Seneca tribe,
*tIs* said, considered the roar of (lie
fulls ULi| the voice of the dreat Spirit
Thinking he inhabited the spray, they
mad* many and various yfferlng* to
this deity.
The waterfall divides itself Into hvq
parts, American Falls and the Horse
shoe or Canadian Falls. Ntne-tentha
of the flow, which Is estimated to be
000,000 tons per lull)Ufa, passes over
the Horseshoe Falls, which is by far
the more Impressive of the two.
Below i he falls the river is consider
ably narrower than it Is above th?
falls, and the water rushes, at a fright
ful speed, through a sev.eu-mlle-long
gorge, in which is loeated the famous
Whirlpool Rapids.
The edge of the cliff over which the
water -plunges Into the canyon below,
wears away at the rate of about five
feei n * ;ir. ({eulogists declare that
this ii ljchiy .fall bus been In opsratlea
fer about JO.OOO years.
