BEAUTIFUL HOMES.
The Tendency of the Age Is TOWARD
Mural Decorations.

Probably at no time in the worlds history
has as much attention been paid to the In
terror decoration of homes as at present,
No home, no matter how humble, is without
its handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surroundings more
cheerful. The taste of the American people
has kept pace with the age, and almost
every day brings forth something new
in the way of a picture, a draplng, q
piece of furniture or other form Of mural
decoration. One of the latest of these has
been given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muville, in series of four handsome
porcelain game plaques Not for years has
anything as handsome in this line been seen,
The subjects represented by these plaques
are American Wild Ducks, American Pleas
ant, American Quail and English Snipe,
They are handsome paintings and are es'
pecially designed for hanging on dining
room walls, though their richness and beau,
ty entitled them to a place in the parlor OF
any home. These original plaques have been
purchased at cost of $50,000 by j. G. Hub
inger Bros. Co., manufacturers of the cele.
brated Elastic Starch, and in order to enable
their numerous customers to become posses
sors Of these handsome works of art they
have had them, reproduced by a specia!

cardboard, pressed and embossed in tn
shape of plaque and trimmed with heavy
band of gold. They measure forty inches
in circumference and contain no reading
matter or advertisement whatever.
Until September lst Messrs. j c. Hubing'
er Bros. Co. propose to distribute these
plaques free to their customers Every pur'
chaser of three ten-cent packages of Elastic
Starch, hat-iron brand, manufactured by j.
c. Hubinger Bros. Co., is entitled to receive
one of these handsome plaques free from
their grocer. Old and new customers alik,
are entitled to the benefits of this offer.
These plaques will not be sent through the
mail, the only way to obtain them being
from your grocer. Every grocer store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. It is the
oldest and best laundry starch on the mar.
ket and is the most perfect cold process
starch ever invented 1t is the only starch
made by men who thoroughly understand
the laundry business, and the only starch
that will not injure the finest fabric. 1t has
beten the standard for a quarter of century
and as an evidence of how good it is twenty.
two million packages were sold last year.
Ask your dealer to show you the plaques and
tell you about Elastic Starch Accept no
substitute. Bear in mind that this offer
holds good short time only and should be
taken advantage of without delay.

perhaps for the abandoned nest of a
field mouse. 1t will be remembered
that these little animals build upon the
surface of the ground soft nests of
grasses, in which they winter. From
these they have runways leading in
different directions. The bee goes
down into the dead grass, scrambling
on as best she may, until she finds one
of these runways, following it up to
the nest. If it is occupied, she goes
elsewhere; if not, the mouse nest
straightway becomes bees nest and
the little creature begins her prepara-
tions for housekeeping.
She now collects mass of pollen in
which to deposit an egg. As the egg
matches and the baby bee grows she
keeps this mass moistened with honey,
and he helps himself, eating out a
cavity larger than white bean. In
this he spins a complete cocoon. When
this is done he takes a long nap, in
which he changes from a grub into a
humble bee, with wings and legs. Mean
time the parent removes the thin coat
ing of pollen from the upper half of the
cocoon and apparently spreads yell
low secretion, or varnish, upon it, as
If to keep out moisture. She is also
now busy collecting more pollen and
laying eggs in it and constructing a
rude cell or two in which to place
honey, as if for rainy day. The first
bees that hatch are worker bees, and
at this time are downy, pale, and baby
like in appearance and behavior. In
later summer queens and drones are
raised

The Mouth of the Toad.

Force toad's mouth open and hold
1t in that position, and it will suffo.
cate. This is because he has no ribs,
and no way of dilating the chest; there.
fcr' he must literally swallow air as
though it were food. Forcibly keeping
the creatures mouth open causes the
air to pass into the stomach instead OF
its lungs. Another oddity is its tongue,
which is hung in the mouth just the re.
verse of the human tongue, being at
tached to the front Of the jaw, the loose
end hanging back and down the throat,

be Answered With One Reply

Some Pertinent Questions That Can All
be Answered With One Reply
Why is it that in Kenosha and its
suburbs, with a combined population
of 146, 900, there is only one medicinal
preparation which gives statements
from residents to back up it's represen-
taUiOns?
Why is it that Doan's Kidney Pills
do this in Kenosha as well as in every
other city and town of any Importance
in the Union?
Why is it that there are advertised
in every newspaper dozen remedies
and only one can supply local proof,
local endorsement of its claims?
The solution of the problem is sim
pie. Only one remedy has the curing
and the staying power. Other rene
dies make all kinds of gigantic yet
futile efforts to get local proof, but the
attempt ends in producing a statement
or two from places that, as far as Re
nosha is concerned, might as well be in
the moon.
Here is Kenosha proof which backs
up the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills:
Mr.. Robert Burt, of 537 Grand
Ave, painter at the Balm Wagon
Works, says: ~ never found any
other kidney remedy which did me as
much good as Doan's Kidney Pills
My kidneys had been disordered for a
long time. The >principal' symptoms
showing it were scalding and discolored
kidney seer etiOns. lam not sure what
first caused the trouble, but [ think it
was from working so much with paint,
at least [ know this had a tendency to
aggravate it. procured Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Starkweather q Co.'s drug
store and before had taken whole
box / was entirely relieved of the
scalding of the kidney secretions and
they were restored to a healthy color.
/ am so fully satisfied with the good
results | received from using DOan's
Kidney Pills that have nothing but
words of praise for the remedy"
What DOan's Kidney Pills have done
for others they will do for you. They
are sold for 90 cents a box. If your
dealer doesn't keep them, write to US.

SCHOOL AND HOME.
A Practical Teacher Writes to SCR DOL
Patrons.

| Patrons.
Having been requested to place be
fore the readers of this paper another
educational letter during the school
year. have selected the above theme
one which experience has developed
/ in my mind as the most vital of school
topics.
! Let US compare the child to tree
he tree, as we know, receives its
nourishment through two main chan
nels, viz, its roots and leaves. Shut OF
one Of these and the other suffers also
Destroy the roots and the leaves cease
to operate in theii supply Of food
Which of these sources has the greater
bearing on the trees growth? True
they are both very important, bun
when the foundation is removed the
house is sure to fall.
Did you ever stop to consider how
applicable the above is to the training
of chidreng Two constant forces, the
home, the roots, the school, the leaves,
are constantly playing on the child's
mental and moral grow III. just as
soon Os the cable of union between the
two becomes severed, then does the
twilight of the pupils progress begin to
TALL
Would parents but realize that sue
cesslul results with children at school
depend on their cooperation. a
wrong word, simple condemnation OF
some act of the instructor, if presented
in the child's hearing, may forever mar
his chances and bar the road to prog
ress. His mind is pliable; parents
words have great weight, and it is
right they should; therefore, it takes
but little from the home to either build
up or entirely destroy his confidence in
his teacher. Can it be reasonably ex-
peCted that the child in school shall
prosper when there is a steady under
mining at home of all his efforts? Can
/ it be conscientiously expected that the
teachers efforts shall avail when home
training stands in open opposition to
all that is being done?
Whatever little success has come to
me during my brief experience in the
teaching profession, = attribute mainly
to the aid afforded by wise pa
irons. Parents who constantly
speak we'll of the school, re-
CARELESS of their personal feeling
toward the instructor, are simply fos-
tering their own interests. Those who
do otherwise are working to the detIi-
ment of themselves, and generally to
themselves alone. Tamper with the
foundation and the home is sure to fall.
In conclusion let NE urge q stronger
alliance between these two most potent
factors. May we never see the day
when the sacredness Of the home shall
be broken down, when school shall
overrule the freside, but may the two
be closely blended in unity, with but
one grand aim-forWard.
