of your paper for week back. "
You had better try porous plas-

chintzes in Vofue.

Chintzes of all kinds have been a
fad for some time. No bedroom is
considered quite up to date unless
the furniture is covered with gay
colored chintz and the curtains are
made to match.
A new departure in interior decor
alton is to have the bedroom walls
also covered with chintz to match
the hangings. Chintz is almost as
easily put on the walls as paper, and
the effect is far more attractive.
A bedroom which has just been
finished for a woman was most at
tractively fitted up.
The walls were hung with pink
and green lowered chintz, which was
finished at the top with pink gimp
put on with brass nails.
The furniture was covered with
and the curtains made of the same
material.
Chintz is also used rs Il border with
plain paper below in some bedrooms,
where people do not want to go to
the expense of having the entire wall
covered with n material which is a
little more costly than ordinary wall
paper.

The Immortal Sifners.

Twenty-four Of the signers OF the
Declaration of Independence were
lawyers, fourteen agriculturists, four
physicians, nine merchants, one q
manufacturer, one clergyman, and
three had prepared for the calling OF
clergymen, but had chosen other vo-
cations. Heaven seems to have re-
warded them generally with long
life, for three lived to be over ninety,
ten over eighty, eleven over seventy,
fourteen over sixty, eleven over fifty
and six over forty-fo although one,
Thomas Lynch, Jr., was accidentally
drowned at sea when only thirty.
Thus the average age of the signers
was over SiXty-twO years.

To Quench Fire.
W hen the chimney takes fire. throw
salt on the fire in the stove and shut
on the draft us much. as possible.
IL Will then burn out slowly. If oil
is spilled and takes fire, throw COM
mon flour over the flames, and this
will smother without spreading the

Correct Breathing.
Correct breathing has an influ-
ence little less than magical in pro-
noting health. Ordinarily it should
be slow, deep and rhythmical. The
following deep breathing exercise
should be practiced every morning
on first rising: Open your window
wide. Stand in front of it with Il
loose robe on. Let the arms hang
loosely at the sides. Then begin
from the lowest part of the abdomen
and draw in and downward Slowly
all the pure air your body will hold.
Generally in breathing we fill only
about u fourth of our lungs.
A Good Starch.
Mix two tablespOOnfulS of laundry
starch with Il gill of cold water; pour
on this one pint of boiling water. stir
ring all the time; add to that a half
teaspOonful of table salt. half tea
spoonful of sugar, and Il piece of
Spermaceti about the size of thim-
bic. Let boil ten minutes, stirring
frequently, and keep covered while
boiling. Strain through a piece of
cheese cloth, and keep covered while
cooling. Have the articles to be
starched nearly dry. and dip them
into the rather warm starch slap
and strike the articles between the
hands, that the starch may be worked
into all the threads. Let get thor
oughly dry, dampen with cold water,
roll up for while, then iron.

Useful Household Hints.
When roasting meat, to make the
gravy nice and brown take Il table
spoonful of sugar and melt in a pan
till it smokes then add boiling water,
Stir well and mix with the gravy.
Those who use salt generously in
their sweeping of carpets are never
troubled with moths; besides, salt
brightens the colors and brings out
the pattern of the carpets in most
satisfactory manner.
Stitch together newspapers suf1i-
cient to entirely cover the springs
of your bed and if there are Stats,
make a second paper sheet to put
under the springs. 1t will keep out
the dust and is easily replaced.
To frost glass rub over carefully
with little muslin bag, filled with
fine sand and powdered glass and
grindtsone grit and water Then
clean the glass thoroughly and
moisten with hydrohuric acid.
When the glass is frosted to suit,
wash with clean, cold water.

nation Hard 20 Beat.

-Four years ago writes a Vermont lady,
'I was a victim OF indigestion. Every
thing I ate distressed me-gaye me nausea
and formed gas IN my stomach which
was very annoying
IT had palpitation so bad could not
lie on my left side, and began to think
my heart must be affected. / had used
coffee for Is years, and thought It would
be impossible to give 1t up. as 1 usually
had nothing for breakfast but roll and a
cup Of coffee.
MY indigestion grew worse in spite
OF doctoring, and felt obliged to try
something else. drank chocolate and CO.
Goa, but soon tired Of them.
THE doctor had ordered my husband to
stop drinking coffee on account OF heart
trouble, so he was using Postum and
wanted me to try that. l took one cup OF
It as our servant prepared it. and thought
Il was wretched stun
II was getting desperate when the cook
left me and 1 had TO make Postum for
my husband. Then It was that I studied
the directions on the package and wonder
ed II the girl had been boiling 1t long
enough.
II cooked It fully % minutes and was
surprised to find II most palatable. I
found that rich cream improved It, as
much as it did coffee. also learned
that Postum tasted better. and II was
easier to prepare IT the night before.
II put two heaping tablespOonsful into
square OF cheese cloth. tied II tightly,
dropped it into a clean coffee pot. poured
over it three cupfulls OF cold water, and
let Il stand covered untfl morning.
Then 1t was boiled thirty minutes, and
we had two large cups OF delicious drink.
after cream and sugar had been added.
II has a rich, delicious flavor OF it's own
and We have used nothing else for four
years.
Postum and Fresh Air have cured as
OF dyspepsia and seeming heart trouble.
and we have taken a new lease OF life"
