Her Guest Room
She determined that her guest room

such room should be- The walls were
hung with the new form of oil cloth
known as tSanitas" that comes in a dull
finish like wall paper. She selected an
artistic pattern,a conventionalized yellow
rose on an ivory tinted background, which
would harmonic with the old fashioned
cherry bed room set that size had bought

as such sales were termed in her locality.
For Refinishing
The form of this set was excellent. It
consisted of four posted bed, without
the canopy,a low wide dresser, and fold

who had helped with her housekeeping
washed each piece thoroughly with Ivory
soap and warm water, using hot water

BIG EXPLOSION
 IN GLAZING MILL
ENTIRE DISTRICT SHAKEN BY Ex- PLOSloN AT POWDER MILLS LAST NIGHT, BUT NO ONE WAS KILLED OR INJURED.

In nearly all parts of the city faint trembling of the earth was felt last night about o'clock from the terrific ex- ploson of the glazing mill of the Jeffer son Powder company, which operates plant just north of North Birmingham Fortunately, no one was injured or killed in the explosion.
 As is the case in nearly every explosion of similar nature, the cause Is not known. Night Watchman Mcdonald, who had been on duty for a short time, stated that he had left the glazing mill only two or three minutes prior to the time the eX- plosion occurred, and when he left it he supposed everything to be all right. Mo Donald was the only man around the mill at the time.
 The loss is not known, though it will not be heavy.
 The shock was distinctly felt in North Birmingham and caused a good deal of excitement there. A number of people went to the mill to learn the nature and result of the explosion, and were relieved to find that no fatalities had resulted. The shock was also felt in Birmingham, though not very distinctly.
