sighted from here. This vessel stop
ped off Cape Virgins and it could be

WILL Be COLD TONIGHT.
Weatherman Says Mercury May Drop
to Zero.

A cold wave is advancing upon To-
peka and tonight will be the coolest
night of the season. The thermometer
Will run down somewhere between
zero and ten degrees above, with the
odds favoring the zero, says the
weather man. This will not be all to
gr1eve over as the wind will maintain
high velocity and tonight there will
be good snowstorm. The most hope
full sign is that the wind and snow
will have spent themselves by morn
ing and tomorrow Is expected to be
fair and will have a slightly rising
temperature.
Today has been cloudy and there has
been slight trace of precipitation.
Judging from the appearances this
afternoon at press time. the precipita-
ton will assume larger proportions
before tonight. The wind this after
noon was twenty miles an hour from
the north. The following tempera-
lures for today show the downward
tendency of the mercury:

Peonaae in the South.

The supplementary report on peon-
age practices in the south, particularly
in Florida, just submitted to the at
torney general by Assistant Attorney
General Russell contradicts Rep Clark,
Of that state. who recently, in a speech
in the house. denounced the depart
ment OF justice for its 'libelous charges
of psonage practices. Russell says
that not only does peonage exist in
Florida. but those practicing it have
adopted the most brutal methods in
keeping men confined. He says the
Jackson Lumber Co. used bloodhounds
for trailing men and that in one case
a rope was thrown around the neck of
a worker, with the threat Of lynching.
He charges that when the runaways
were recaptured some were unmerci-
fully beaten and others taken back TO
camp tied TO a buggy.

THE LIVING ROOM.
II Should at All Times Be a "LivabIs"
Room.

What TO do with the living room Is
a problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
in fact as well as in name living
room-a livable room. II is the room
in which the most of our time at
home is spent, the hours we have for
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and it is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings OF the
living room should be harmonious in
color. suitable in texture, and durable
in material
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures. throw the furni-
ture out in better relief. are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting, and
indicate higher degree of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which we paste on when We
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up a
plastered wall growing out of hard
wood floor? Yet that is what We
suggest to the imagination when We
paste paper covered with roses or
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beaut;-
full, but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring
The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable ana
repellant.
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form OF a tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately it is the only
clean way, and more fortunately it Is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead The LIQUID part
should re Linseed Oil. Those best in.
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit OF White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece Of
wood. Blow the flame against it and
see what it will do. II il is pure
White Lead, little drops OF bright. pure

to reduce one of them to lead. If they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave residue. it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
II you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having as its frontis-

produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty of pure White Lead.

The curious effect OF slow daily pol
