The Ideal Bedroom.

A cheerful bedroom Is one OF the
essential points for an invalid or
convalescent, and since 1t Is difficult
to find house with all the bedrooms
facing south, some one must be I'M
selfish enough to give the sunniest
rooms to the less robust members of
the family.
Many people insist that the eastern
exposure is the best for a sleeping
room, because the early morning sun
is healthful, but IL the room must,
perforce, face north, it should have
a light, cheerful paper and the light
est possible draperies.
The bed should not be placed so
that the light from the window shines
directly in the eyes of the sleeper;
1t may be conducive to early rising,
but the effect upon the eyes is un-
pleasant and often harmful. If the
bed must face the windows and the
footboard is not high enough to shield
the eyes screen should be put across
over night between the window and
the bed.

POLISH FOR THE FLOOR.
Mixture That Is Guaranteed to Pro-
duce Good Results.

A good mixture for polishing a hard
wood floor may be made from one
third raw linseed oil and two-thirds
parafin. 1t should be used sparingly
or the polishing afterward will take a
long time. In cleaning such floor II
is better to use soft hair brush
rather than a stiff one. After being
well swept, the floor should be wiped
with dry, soft cloth, in order to take
up all dust. If there are any spots
they may be removed with a cloth
wet with turpentine or they may be
rubbed with a cloth wrung dry out Of
warm water.
This will take OF the polish, but 1t
may be restored by using weighted
brush. This brush has long handle
and is pushed back and forth till the
polish is again restored. Wooden
cloths may be used, but, of course. 1t
will take longer and the work will be
tedious. The weighted brush, as well
as others, should be thoroughly
cleansed two or three times year by
washing in warm water, to which a
few drops of ammonia has been added.

MUCH DANGER IN DUST.
Why clothes Should Not be Brushed
In Living Rooms.

The use of the clothes brush in the
living rooms of house Is emphatic
ally denounced In the Lancet as dan
gerous practice. likely to lead to dis
case and death. THE Imagination
does not require to be stretched very
far to realize that the clothes brush
might be easily responsible for the
dissemination of disease" says the ex-
pert journal. Dust is rarely, II ever,
free from heterogeneous, and among
them pathogenic entities have been
recognized. Dust is In fact an enemy
of the human race, vehicle of dis
ease, and should everywhere and on
ever occasion, however trifling, be
prevented as far as means can be en-
ployed to that end. Clothes, of course
must be brushed just as carpets must
be beaten, but both processes create
a nuisance which Is different not in
kind, but only in degree. Just, there
fore, as there are grounds reserved
for the beating of carpets, remote as
they should be, from human habita-
ton, SO also ought there to be In a
household conducted on hygienic lines
q special room relegated to the brush
ing Of clothes. The daily clothes have
large capacity and q singular ATM
ity for dust which contain the seeds of
a common cold or sore throat, or
even of blood poisoning and tetanus.
80 that the suggestion that the clothes
brush should be handled in less in
discriminate way than is usually the
case can hardly be regarded as chi.
merical."

Uses for Bran Water.

Bran water is the best of agencies
for cleaning fine colored muslins, like
organizes.
AS carpet cleaner bran slightly
dampened, thrown on the carpet, and
then thoroughly swept out, is unex-
celled. Removes all dust and, being
damp, prevents dust from flying.
To cleanse light-colored furs heat
bran and rub into fur with hands, then
with perfectly clean brush beat and
brush every particle Of bran from the
fur.
To dry patent leather or other shoes
heat a pan of bran in the oven until
quite warm, pour this into the shoes,
filling to the top, wipe the outside
with dry cloth and rub into the
leather vaseline or sweet oil and let
stand until dry.

A WelI.Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies In the
world to-day is Brandreth's Pills-a
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable, they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety. and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether. with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect,
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
a while is the best thing known for
any one troubled with constipation, In.
digestion, dyspepsia or any trouble
arising from impurity of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale

BASE BALL GAME.
Played Between the High Schools
of Manning and Audubon.

The Audubon high school team
crossed bats with what purported to
be the Manning high school baseball
team, on the local grounds last Sat
urday, the result being 8 to 10 in
favor Of the latter. Manning seems
to have very versatile high school.
Last fall their football team came here
to play. 10 was very noticeable that
few of their football players are play
ing on the baseball team. The school
here needs TO have contract with
every school they play so that they
know that they are playing with the
school and not the town team.
Taking the game as whole IL was
o good one for the opening game OF
the season. Errors on both sides
were frequent and costly. Lack of
team work was noticeable In the home
team. Neither the pitcher, Earl Kile,
nor the catcher, Arthur Horning, had
ever pitched or caught before. As il
was both put up strong game. The
Audubon players were Earl Kile,
Arthur Horning, Ray Green, Harie
Stafford, John Donaldson, Miles
Gardner, Louis Bagley, Charles
Watts and Vallie Leon ard.

COMBINATIONS OF CAPITAL.

We have had the pleasure of read
ing an article on the above topic pub
lished in the Cosmos" paper
issued by the students of Coe college
at Cedar Rapids. 1t is of local in
terest because the writer is an Audu-
bon boy, Samuel E. Conybeare, son
of Rev. Conybeare pastor OF the
Presbyterian church. He discussed
both the causes and results of the
Capitalization of capital in a candid
and able manner. Among his claims
are that 'the tendencies toward con-
centration of capital are but evidences
of natural evolution in modern in
dustrial conditions. Men recognize
that by combining their forces great
er ends can be attained. The princi-
pie that in union there is strength is
being effectually applied to modern
business. Syndicates, mergers and
corporations are all based upon the
principle OF harmonized and central
cause is economy and the ultimate
aim, increased earnings. The benefits
to the public are better quality, lower
prices, and greater stability.
The disadvantages are monopoly,
extravaganza oppression and DONNA
ton. After naming some of the
methods proposed for control he
closes with this statement: at is safe
To assume, however, that under n
proper system of inspection insuring
general publicity of the financial
status and methods of corporate
bodies, the viii of the plain people
will eventually form the most effective
and natural means of regulating and
controlling the tremendous power of
centralized capital"

THE WAY OF POLITICS.

Mr.. Berry severely criticises the
Herald all the way through his speech,
not word OF commentator is
uttered; yet IL has for twenty years
been as loyal as the stars to his indi.
vidual political interests and he
knows II. If the Herald had To be
lambasted by the Cummins people or
any other people, he is the one man
OF all others in Warren County or
the State of Iowa, who should have
declined to perform that act. In these
twenty years we have refused him but
one political request, namely, to fol.
low the political lead of Albert b.
Cummins of Des Moines, "a request
that would not have been grantrd our
mother, and this Is the sum of our
SHINING. -Indianola Herald.
The item quoted above shows the
way and the result OF politics and
political friendship. Senator Berry
and Mr.. Anderson are prominent
citizens of the same town, members OF
the same church and adherents of the
same party. The editor has helped
the senator year in and year out in
forwarding his political ambitions,
but now that he refuses to longer
follow his lead Mr.. Berry turns upon
him and berates him in regular polit-
ical style. We are not surprised at
this, but we are surprised that IL has
taken the Herald man so long to learn
that he shouldn't expect any appreci.
alton Of his work as an editor, and
especially not from the politician
whose interest he serves
