BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
is term that aptly describes
the character and action of
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine-more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples of both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles of i'm
perfect growth and delicate
health in children. The action
of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.

artists in England granted the pictures themselves were not at fault. but the hanging certainly was. They gave me permission to hang them my own way, but laid great emphasis on the fact they would probably change them all back again. I first ordered every one down. and then put some of them back where they were except about foot lower down. The &ault chiefly lay in the fact that the pie lures were too nearly of a size, so searched the house for small pictures and arranged one or two groups. I had never realized. till then, what a difference pictures could make. The pictures being brought to the eye level made the room more interest ing. The groups here and there gave an informal feeling to the room. which made 1t more cozy and homelike. The pictures have never been moved since then.

It was originally a long room. dark and gloomy, and so big that 1t was almost impossible to heat. and was therefore little used in winter. So, the room was partitioned. the bookshelves were built in against the partition, and the division Is hardly noticeable. The chandelier, which the partitioning has brought toward one end of the room. however, gives 1t away to the occasional close observer.
 The sofa in the window was exceed ingly shabby, but 1t now has an old cur tain thrown over 1t and few pillows on 1t, and really adds to the room.
 The fireplace has an old. black marble mantel shelf. This is covered with curtain of green material with a design stenciled in white. Instead of putting on paint the design was taken out with an acid.
 The tablecover is made of square of lattice cloth, which costs about 80 cents d yard, and Is fifty inches wide, making the total cost about dollar and twenty cents. This is fringed and stenciled with leaf design done in the autumn colors-red, brown, green ana yellow. /

rich tones of the walls and hangtngs give feeling Of luxury that does not awe. but comforts and refreshes us
 We should never sacrifice comfort for beauty in the library; and the heavy, aimple furniture that is so much in vogue is delightful, if the room Is big enough to warrant 1t. But so many of us do not possess the sense of propor- tion and will put huge table and a large chair or two in little bit of room, so that person can hardly turn around.
 Here let me impress upon you the need of considering proportion in house decorating. How often do we see a large armchair placed beside small table of delicate design, or vice versa. We are perhaps surprised that the effect of that corner does not please us, for we admired the pieces so much when we bought them; but, 1t never occurs to us that one is killing the other.
 A very successful library is that shown in the Illustration. The walls are covered with a pumpkin-colored felt paper, which gives the room a delight fully sunny glow.
 The fireplace is original having been designed by the young bride herself.
 The shelf and cupboards are of oak with heavy iron hinges, and the books with their pretty colored backs strike pleasant note of color. The divan bureau drawers fitted in 1t, where old magazines and the like are stored away. The cover is made of arras cloth, of a golden brown color. and is trimmed with tapestry border.
 The curtains are made of thin swiss and impress you with their simple beauty.
 The ornaments and pictures are of the best, nd the studied careIessness of arrangement is delightful
 Another illustration shows a two- toned green paper, mahogany claw foot table. aud a black wicker grand father chair.
 The cushion in the window seat is hand woven and is stenciled in dark green with a circle and leaf design. which makes a most effective cushion.
 Notice how well the pictures are hung. What difference it does make to a room how the pictures are hung! 1 once went into room which had just been done over, and I was asked for my opinion on 1t. l replied that I liked everything except the way the pictures were hung. They were very much surprised. and told me the pie lures were a valuable collection and many of them were drawn by the best
