please tell me how I can change a
room which is meant for dining-room
into a cheerful waiting room, leading
into physicians office.
THE room at present Is In dark red

oak and has a shelf about three feet
from the ceiling.
THE office has deep yellow

light pink and cream color, which

Bean. Make Good Pla Feed

Mixed with other grains, Gull beans
may be fed to sheep and swine. Some
times they are used for dairy cows. In
tests of feeding swine on culled beans,
1t was found that an average gain of
a little more than one pound per day
could be made, at cost of about So. SO
per 100 pounds. There Is practically
no better way to make use of culled
beans than to feed them to hogs The
beans should only be fed when cooked,
and to do this, they should be leaked
for several hours before the cooking
Is begun. They can be cooked either
by running live steam into barrel
containing them or by putting chem
into an ordinary feed cooker or pot

pot is more convenient

Fancy Work Apron.

A most convenient apron and one
which is charmingly dainty and neat
Is made Of an oblong of white lawn.
Both ends of the apron are first
hemmed with half an inch hem, to
which lace is sewed. slightly fulled.
One end Is then turned up so as to
form pocket. Both sides of the
apron are sewed to the sides OF the
turned up portion. Three pockets are
made from this large one, by dividing
the width of the apron into three equal
parts and stitching on the lines, from
the top to the lower edge of the
turned up part. These seams, as we'll
as the side seams, have a pretty An
ished look IL they are neatly cat
stitched or feather-stitched. Ribbon
a half inch wide is then run through
the top hem Of the apron and through
the hem at the top of the turned-up
part. The ribbon which is run through
the top hem Is used to tie around the
waist.

tel Us interesting
a story as is possible concerning the
present conditions Of this temperance
movement. AS the temperance work
erss would put it. they are cleaning
UP the map of the United States and
making 1t look white. There are five
great big white spots which stand out
like beacon lights. North Dakota,
Kansas. Oklahoma, Georgia and Maine
are wholly within the prohibition
camp and all the rest of the states
except western tier-Mnntana on the
north and Arizona and New Mexico on
the south. with Idaho and Wyoming,
Nevada. Utah and Colorado sand
wiched in between-are marching UNI
der some form of local option banner
which means that these states are
more or less dry, in many cases more
rather than less. In fact, in the south.
the local option standard means prac-
tIcally prohibition in most of the
states.
In the south, where prohibition has
spread like a tidal wave, the chief
reason has been the determination of
the whites to suppress negro lawless-
ness. A majority of the crimes of
violence which have resulted in lynch
ings have been induced by drink, and
1t was argued that II liquor be placed
beyond the reach of the negro it would
be more effective way of restraining
his brutal and criminal instincts than
any number of lynchings.
There are now five prohibition
stateS-Maine. Georgia, North Dakota,
Kansas and Oklahoma. In eight states
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Idaho, Wy
oming. Nevada. Utah, Colorado, Ari-
IONA and New Mexico-saloons are IL
censed with virtually no restrictions,
although some of these have recently
passed Sunday closing laws. In all the
other states there Is some form of
local option. In nearly all these local
option states the dry" territory has
been steadily increasing for the last
ten years. In the south as a whole 1t
has doubled; In Texas 1t has tripled;
that the prediction is confidently made
that within three years the state will
take its place beside Georgia in the
prohibition column. To-day 81 out of
the I19 counties of Kentucky are
wholly dry" and of the remainder
only four are wholly wet This
seems an extraordinary condition for
Kentucky, the home of bluegrass
whisky, the state in which 100000, 900
ia invested in distilleries.

The route has not yet been deter

OttumWa or Oskaloosa. Physical Dr.
rector A. B. Dawson, who has taken
charge of the plans, has corresponded
with both associations, and Oskaloosa
is willing to join. Ottumwa would
rather postpone the race until spring.
If Ottumwa does not come in Oskaloo-

many details to be worked out will
take several weeks of time, but it is
estimated that the association here
will furnish about thirty boys to cover
the distance apportioned to them. Each
boy will run one mile, divided into
two one-half mile spurts separated by
several hours of time. The boys will
be moved from place to place in auto
mobiles, and to make the race a cue

as feature of the entertainment for
the children.

schools of over thirty years ago, who
met Saturday at the scene of their
early childhood to recount the events
OF over a quarter of a century ago.

Saturday was the first that has been
held in five years. 1t was voted, how

Something Of Jennings School.
The Jennings school, the days of
which are SO eenderly kept in memory
that the Jennings Reunion association
was formed several years ago, derives
its name from the teacher, j. B. Jen-

in charge Of the school as principal
from 1875 to 1879 Mr.. Jennings aft
erwards lived in this city, and served
as recorder of the county. AS assistant
principal under Mr.. Jennings, for two
years, and principal when Mr. Jen-
nings left, was Hon. George Meickle-

mer lieutenant governor Of Nebraska,
former member of congress from that
state, and at one time assistant secre-
tary of the United States navy.

That Mr.. Meicklejohn has not for
