'SOme Hints rs
To VOL Paper

When papering q room remember that
large patterns and dark colors win make
It appear smaller, while a plain or
striped paper of a light blue will give
an effect Of increased size. White,
cream. yellow. and light blue Increase
the apparent briIliancy of the light; red
dark green and blue and brown make
the apartment seem darker than II
really is. Avoid green. il possible; the
arsenic it contains s,dangerous.
Always avoid fantastic and highly col
ored patterns, both for their vulgarity
and for the impression tney make upon
nervous persons and invalids.
A. high dadO or low border will
make the room appear smaller, while
the smaller these are the larger will
the room seem.
A ceiling darker than the paper gives
an effect OF Iowness; lighter OF height.
For bathrooms. kitchens. etc, ether
paint the walls or get the washable pa
per. which may be scrubbed as often
as necessary. This comes IN pretty and
appropriate delft and conventional pat
terms
I For balls it is we'll to have the lower
part OF the walls covered with burlap
or guusacking. and separated from the
light paper above by narrow wooden
rim
Flower designs should be used in bed
rooms only: elsewhere they are out OF
place.
Picture borders are best for dining
rooms and Libraries
For reception rooms n simple MORE
design in silver OF bronze is better than
that in another color
Altogether. the best rule to follow Is
that OF quiet simplicity. and the woman
or taste will need but little direction
otherwise.

Oatmeal Cleans Skin

Many young people are annoyed by
the appearance Of pimples and slight
skin eruptions. which are disfguring. If
not serious. Our grandmothers used to

Pleasant Automobile Ride.

On Saturday afternoon David Rich
mond, of Pittsburg, came up from Pitts
burg in his automobile. He was ac-
companied by Robert w. Colwell. At
nine o'clock that night, accompanied by
their niece, Miss Laura Colwell and the
Misses Marguerite Applegate and Ada
Banks, they left for Reynoldsville.
They reached Punxsutawney all right
but lost their road between there and
Reynoldsville and as result did not
reach their destination until half past
three o'clock Sunday morning, but they
found a gord warm meal waiting for
them at Mr.. Applegate's.

Started Tor New Home To-Day.

DR.. S. Reynolds shipped his house
hold goods to Warren last week and
this morning Doctor and his wife and
granddaughter, Imogen Mitchell, start
ed for their new home. AS DR.. Rey-
nolds is brother-in-law OF ye editor
and it may sound better to hear some
one else say kind things about him
for publication, therefore, we clipped
the following from the Reynoldsville
items in the Punxsutawney Spirit;
"Dr. Samuel Reynolds, who has been
practicing medicine in the vicinity OF
Reynoldsville for the past thirty years,
has retired from active work. and will
move his family to Warren, where he
will join his two sons, Walter and
Clarence, who are engaged in the
pharmacy business at that place.
While DR.. Reynolds has practiced his
profession In this community he has
enjoyed the confidence Of the physicians
with whom he has associated as well
as the lsity, to whom he responded in
times OF distress, and it is needless to
say that all classes will wish time and
again that he had not decided to cast
his lot elsewhere. The profession will
miss him as physician, the business
men will miss him as business man
and the people will miss him as a
citizen. All join In wishing him the
best possible results in his new home"

Notice to Business Men
and Property Owners.

1t is up to the business and profess
sional men, aud property owners of
Reynoldsville borough to Say by their
presence or absence at the Business
Mems Association meeting Thursday
night of this week whether that organi-
tion shall continue or suspend. Unless
there is direct manifestation OF inter-
est on the part OF the real estate owners
OF the city in maintaining this board Of
trade it is entirely unlikely that those
now connected with it will attempt to
keep it alive. Almost without excep-
tion, the opinion is that the association
Is one of the best things eyer attempt
ed in Reynoldsville, and rightly con-
Quoted would result In vast benefit to
the community, increasing the business,
the value of property and the import
ance of the city commercially. But to
accomplish this will require money and
work, and it is but fair those who will
benefit most should assist in its mainte-
nance.
In explanation it should be stated
that while the Business Mems Associa-
tion was organized at we'll attended
meeting Of representative business men
from all parts Of the city, but minori-
ty Of that assemblage have continued to
attend the meetings and pay in their
membership fee. This minority is COM
posed of earnest workers and have done
all possible, but it is hardly just to ex-
pect score or so Of citizens to carry on
alone work which is for the benefit OF
thousands.
If this movement falls through, which
had the benefit OF long and continued
agitation, it will probably be the last
attempt to maintain board Of trade
here which will ever 'be made. With
it the town puts itself in line for pro-
gress and in position to handle quickly
any industrial opportunity. Without
it-stagnation.
Which shall it be ?

Not Ground for divorce.

According to the decisions of the
Jefferson county court and Superior
court of Pennsylvania, insanity OF hus-
band or wife is not sufficient reason
for granting divorce. In the case
tried in the county court and appealed
to the Superior court the husband has
been hopelessly insane for years and is
now in the Danville insane hospital.
The decision OF the Superior court in
this case is to the effect that the
legislature never contemplated the
making of insanity ground for
divorce.
