MERIT IN cHIcoRY.
U. S. Government interested in the
 Use of the Root

II long ago was discovered that the ad- dition of small proportion of chieory to coffee gave the combination the same taste and flavor ss are found in the most expensive Arabian mixtures selling up to several dollars per pound. This fact has been recognized for many years in Eu- rope, but only recently has this fact been recognized by American consumers.
 Now the government is interested and has conducted a searching inquiry into the merits and uses Of chicory. Recently in Bulletin l9, U. s. Department of Agri- culture, page l.. the government says:
 With the exception of only one case II was found that a small quantity of chicory added to good coffee improved the flavor and reduced the peculiar nervous effect of the coffee. It is supposed in the single exception referred to- an inferior grade of coffee was sold for the high grade. In all these trials the purity of the chicory was undoubted. 1t having been sent by prominent chlcory firm for an alysis and experiment.
 Analysis of both the raw and the pre- pared product have so far failed 10 reveal the presence Of any positively harmful substance. Neither the National nor the U. & Dispensatories condemn it's use 'Chicory,' says the former. is thought 10 increased the appetite, promote the diges- tton and stimulate the liver
 Tn France and Germany use Is made of chieory. as an aperient for infants and young children. mothers preferring 1t to ordinary medicine on account of its be- ing agreeable In flavor and harmless in effect. Since no evil effects are apparent when mixture of ehicory and coffee is used. and since remarkable symptoms fol- low the excessive use of straight coffee, ii appears that the use Of chicory in mod eration is not fraught with greater evil than the use of coffee. Either beverage affects different temperaments in differ ent ways and ii should be left to the indi- vidual himself 10 choose chicory. coffee or q mixture. The very general use of chic ory for the last one hundred and fifty years. and the proportions which it's eul= tivation have assumed, indicates that 1t is beneficial and agreeable to at least some constitutions"

THE LIVING ROOM.
t Should at All Times Be "Livabie"
 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 a living room-a livable room. l. 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 a 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 a hard wood floor? Yet, that is what we suggest to the imagination when we paste paper covered with roses on our walls. They are neither artistic nor true. Roses are all very beauti- ful. 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 and repellant.
 The alabastined wall is the only correct form of 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 less labor in the future.
 In lighting the walls some thought must be given the color. Light colors reflect S5To of the light thrown upon them Dark colors reflect but 15e6. Lighting bills can be saved by choos- ing a color which will reflect the largest degree of light. In north rooms use warm colors or colors which reflect light In south and west rooms sometimes the light can be modified by the use of darker colors. Dark greens absorb the light; light yellows reflect it; browns mod ify it, and so on. through the scale of colors. The color scheme of room not only is dependent upon the color of the earpetings but 1t is also dependent upon the light of the room.

SHOCK
THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the least cost depend largely upon tie material chosen. Paint is a simple compound and the ingredients can be easily test ed The solid part or pigment should be White Lead The liquid part should be Binseed OIL These 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. If it is pure White Lead. little drops of bright. pure metallic lead will appear, and with pa- tience the White Lead can be com. pletely reduced to one glebule of metal. lie lead. This is because pure White Lead is made from metallic lead
 You may test dozens of other so- called White Leads and not be able to reduce one of them to lead. If they will not change wholly to lead but leave Q residue. it is clear that some adulterant is present.
 If you should have your painting done with such materials. no matter how cheap they might seem, 1t would be costly in the end.
 National Lead Company. Wood. bridge Building. New York City. are sending on request 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 it's frontis- piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re- produced from the original painting. This little painter has become noted as the guaranty of pure White Lead.
