Bedroom Furniture.

Heavy cumbrous furniture takes up
the air space, and makes the loom diff
ficult to keep clean. Moreover, 1t en-
courages the storage Of quantities OF
clothing in the room, which always
produce stuffy condition Of the air.
The bed is the most important arti-
Gle. It should have a strong iron
frame, with a good woven wire or
chain spring mattress. On the bed
stead there should be hair mattress,
a bolster and a feather pillow. The
bed clothes should consist Of an under
blanket and one, two, or three upper
blankets, according to the weather, q
pair of cotton sheets, cotton or linen
pillow.case, and a counterpane. A.
short cretonne valance not reaching to
the floor gives appearance and does
no harm, unless 1t encourages that
dirty and unwholesome practice OF
hiding away all sorts, Of old boxes and
rubbish under the bed. ;;si ~
In addition to the bed,Ha combined
dressing table and a chest of drawers,
q washing-table and toilet-serice, and
some kind of wardrobe are necessary. !
The hanging wardrobe is an excellent
idea. It consists Of wooden top to
which row of pegs and curtain
rod are attached. The top Is fastened
to the wall, preferably in recess, and
curtains of art muslin and cretonne
are suspended around it by the rod.
It costs q mere nothing, and, being
airy, never contracts that stufy odor
80 common III a closet filled with worn
clothing. A few ornaments and pic
lures are, Of course. permissible, but
decorations placed in the fire CRATE,
must not be such as to obstruct the
free passage Of air up the chimney.
Cleanliness is best secured by fur
nishing the room in such way as
to make 1t as easy as possible to keep
clean. The walls, floors and windows
should be treated as simply as possi-
BILE, and the other furniture should be
limited to that which is really neces-
sary for use in the bed room.-Amer-

THE PROGRESSIVE AGE.
The goth Century's Wonders, Inven-
tions and Discoveries Prove That
Facts are Stranger than Fiction.

The march of progress seems TO have
reached its zenith in the twentieth CEN
tury. Wonders are multiplying them
selves and startling the world. 1t is the
age of great inventions and wonderful
discoveries. Wichita has in her midst a
man whose scientific discoveries have
caused the medical fraternity, and. in
fact, everybody who has learned OF his
wonderful discovery and its Importance to
humanity, to stop and think.
Professor Samuels is this man. His
discovery Of treating all diseases of the
body by absorption through the eyes
and his secret remedies are accomplish
ing wonders. People are doubtful and
some skeptical, but the many results are
undisputable evidence that he cures dis
ease. a reporter for the Eagle was told
of another case where medicine and ply
sicians had failed TO give relief for ten
years, and that Professor Samuels had
effected a cure. Miss Mabel Files, who
is a dressmaker and resides at 3O3 South
Market street, stated TO the reporter that
for ten years she has been in very i'll
health, often being confined 10 her bed,
and suffering greatly. Her trouble was
neuralgia of the stomach. She stated
that she took medicine constantly
and had taken treatment from
number of prominent physicians and spec
ialists. but all to no avail. at one time
being confined 10 her bed for ten months
and at various other times for several
months at a time; could not walk one
block without being entirely exhausted,
and was in poor health continually. A
friend finally induced her TO 60 TO Pro
fessor Samuels who commenced treating
Miss Files August 90 1902. and she stated
that she noticed and felt a great i'm
provement in her health in
very short time. only few
days after commencing to take Pro
lessor Samuels' treatment She was re-
lieveu from pain and rapidly gained
strength and her health. She can now
walk a long distance without any incon-
venience or feeling the least exhausted,
stating that only a few days ago she
walked to the Masonic Home on the
West Side. and, after walking home. was
not exhausted or even tired in the east.
and the great wonder about II is that
the only medicine taken was Professor
Samuels' secret remedies. administered
through the eyes, but il produced the i
desired results-and results are what sick
people want. Facts are stranger than
fiction. but such facts as these should
pIesse the hundreds Of sufferers from
various forms Of disease. Professor sam
uels is unquestionably effecting many
wonderful cures. His Office is at l5S North .
Main street.
