THE LIVING ROOM.
Il Should at All Times Be a "LIvahIe"
Room,

What to do with the living room is
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 1t 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 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-
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 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 $50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing 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 q
room not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but 1t is also
dependent upon the light Of the room.

CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case OF scabies-Body a Mass

"a young woman came to our city

FINALLY PAID FOR SIDING.
Audierous Features in Claim Asainua
Government.

| VI course, only a part, very likely q
small part, of the claims entered
against the government have justice
as basis. In order to find out the
truth OF things the government oc.
caslonally is obliged to spend many
umes the amount Of money involved.
one OF the most curious claim cases
ever known to congress was that of
sonora Feliciana Mendoza, who lived
at Angeles, Pampanga, Philippine IS
lands. The sonora rented a house to
uncle Sam for the use of some of his
eeamsters. When the mule-driving
contingent moved out of the house
after short occupancy the sonora
declared under oath that some of the
slulng boards were missing from the
kltcnen wall, and she asked for $20c
IN gold to repay her for the damage
TO her property.
This case of Sonora Feliciana Men.
dioia fills Ia pages of a house of rep
resentatives document. 1t contains a
long letter from the secretary of war
on the question of the value of kitch-
en- sidings, another letter from the
quartermaster-gene of the United
states and So communications from
army officers and civilians of various
ranks and conditions.
A board of officers was convened to
pass on the validity of the senora's
claim. The board was in session for
Gays, many of its members coming
from long distance to attend. One
teamster, William Langworthy by
name, swore that the senora's kitch-
en- sidings were chewed up and eaten
by red ants. Teamster Summerville
swore that in his opinion the boards
dropped out of place by their own
weight. Teamster Pickle said: Then
boards was punk"
The army board which sat on the
case thought it was very doubtful in
strict justice if Sonora Feliciana
should be allowed any money, but f.
nally the members granted her the
sum of $50 in gold This action, Of
course, was not final, but the commit
tees on war claims in house and SEN
ate approved the finding.
The sonora received $50, and doubt
less it gave her some satisfaction to
know that Uncle Sam had spent about
$1,000 to get authority to pay for
kitchen siding which went to destruc-
ton either by way of Transfers
foot or red ants stomach.

Representative CLANCY Recently Gave
Figures as to Unknown Dead.

The army of the unknown dead

of Indiana submitted figures prepared
by the quartermaster general show
ing that there are 152,103 unknown
soldiers and sailors whose remains are
inferred in the national cemeteries
The total number of buried dead in
these cemeteries is 1885. The
known number 201,282 The govern.
ment maintains no less than SO ma
tional cemeteries. 1t is not generally
known that one OF these is outside of
the United States, being located at
Mexico City. Over 1900 soldiers Of
the Mexican war rest there, half of
them unknown.
the largest of the national Gene
teries is the one at Arlington, just
across the river from Washington. It
has over 10000 interments, of which
1925 are those of unknown dead.
Next in size is the cemetery at Vicks.
