MAKES AN ATTRACTIVE ROOM.
Apartment Furnished in Egyptian
Style Is an oddity.

A young woman recently turned
one Of her small rooms into Egyptian
headquarters and with a few we'll
chosen articles of furniture and pic
lures has made it very attractive. The
walls were innocent Of paper, since
it was a new house, and they were
painted light buff with green trim
mings. The floor was oil finished, be-
ing hardwood, and covered with rug
in Egyptian pattern of buff, green and
yellow-brown. The scenes were all
taken from magazine and art jour-
nails and framed in gold frames, some
bright gold, others dull. The narrow
frames looked neat upon the buff
walls. Pieces of Egyptian pottery
or rather limitations of such-added
much to the attractiveness of the
room, and a few small bits of Egyp-
tian bric-a-brac impaired additional
beauty of the very cleverly arranged
apartment. 1t would be quite an easy
matter to furnish a room in this
style, and al comparatively little cost,
because there is every opportunity to
purchase at little cost everything need
ed for such. Of course mission fur
niture would be used in a room of this
description.

COUNTRY is REAL AMERICA.
Great Cities Do Not WorthiIy Repre-
sent the Nation.

One Of those sent to the couttry this
summer by New York fresh-air mis-
sion was a 14-year-old Hungarian boy.
His parents, when they came to
America, had remained in the city
where they landed. They lived in
squalid poverty. The father, mother
and four children all slept in a small
room lighted by a single window open
ing on foul-smelling alley. The boy
played in the streets, and had to
dodge the club of the policeman who
strove to keep order in the over
crowded district.
In the country he found the open
fields to play in, with no policeman to
interfere. He saw the people friendly,
helpful and sympathetic, living their
lives in comfort and independence.
When l get home I'll tell them I've
found the real America" he remarked
one day.
He was not far from the truth. The

For the foreign-born poor, or the ma
tive poor, either, the large city, with
its fierce competition, is hard place
in which to live.
The real France is not Paris. One
has to go outside of London to find
tho real England The Germany that
is growing rich and powerful is a big
ger thing than Berlin. And the real
America is not discovered in her great
cities. The ideals of the big city
are not the ideals toward which the
nation is striving, and their standard
of living is not the standard which
appeals to the people at large. Amer
lea is ruled from the homes and the
firesides of the smaller communities
and from the farmhouses on the hills
and in the valleys of the east and the
south and on the plains Of the west
Most Of the statesmen who control
congress are country-born and coun'
try-bred. The issues on which elec'
tions are decided are those which
seem vital to the plain, everyday man

Physicians Advice to Those Who Are
Fond of Mushrooms.

1t may be possible that when all the
boys are dead they will quit eating
toadstools and dying in spasms there
from. The edible and poisonous varie-
ties of these fungi are too close to-
gether in general and species for the
average youngster to differentiate
them. 1t continues, after many years,
to be the same old story: Eat it; If it
kills you it is toadstool; if it agrees
with you it is a mushroom. Some
years ago the department of agricul-
ture at Washington issued an elab
crate and beautiful set of illustrations
of mushrooms and near" mushrooms,
labelling one set edible" and the other
poisonous" The story leaked out
that the printers got the labels mixed,
and that the transposition was not
discovered until the work had been
sent b. oadcast. The officials did some
tall hustling in an effort to call in the
issue. A well-known physician said
to me the other day: Owing to the
