Retarding the Homeseeking Move
YnAnf

Frances Wizards definition OF the
purpose of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union was: 1T is to
make the world homelike." Yet the
accusation is made by citizen Of
Idaho that the temperance women OF
his state are checking and retarding
the home-seeking movement. He
SAYS:
"It is my deliberate opinion, based
on observation, that the use Of the
ballot by women makes precious lit
tie difference in the long run, except
where the question of license or no.
license for retailing liquors was UP for
vote -. All the counties except
two went for prohibition, and the
woman vote did it, their ballots be-
ing almost solid against license. In
the opinion of many broad-minded
men, embracing our most responsible
and influential citizens, it was a great
mistake to decide the question this
way, as such decision is bound to
retard development and check the
home-seeking movement. Had male
voters alone been the arbiters, the
prohibition movement would have
gained small headway."
Any home-seeker, whether man or
woman. who deliberately selects site
for residence because of its saloon ad-
vantages, is ignorant Of the true sig
nihcance of that sacred word "home.'
According to our Idaho friend, real
estate advertisements in his section OF
the country should read something
like this:
"For Sale: Unparalleled bargains
for home-seekers, town lots at low
prices, thriving. wide-open saloons at
every corner, with unrestricted gambl-
ing and other privileges: ten miles
distant from church and school house
Just the place to bring up a family
But the Idaho mans criticism is
encouraging in that it admits the
value Of "the woman vote" for pro-

peraments. Just so it is with color.
We cannot always give reason for
our preferences. but we are sure they
exist, and most people are sensitive
to color to greater or less degree.
Ones favorite color brings repose and
enjoyment, is conducive to health and
exercises an actual influence on our
ing this preference wisdom must be
shown, for there are many colors OF
which a little is enjoyable when a
mass would be uncomfortable. Constant
" surrounded by a glow of vivid scar
let would be like close companionship
with a brass band. but a touch OF
scarlet amid dull surroundings is a
pleasing sensation.
AS far as effect is concerned. the
color Of room makes its atmosphere.
It may be cheerful or sad. coy or dis
turbing. according to its quality and
force. Without color room is much
like bare canvas. which might. but
does not. give vivid picture OF some
phase Of life. The colorless room has
nothing to tell of the character of its
occupants.
Color in house includes much that
IS classed as furniture. 1t applies to
carpets. draperies and ornaments. but
1t is first and pre-eminently applied to
wall treatment. In selecting color for
| a single room or for an entire house
certain points must be borne In mind
| The first is that one person does not
Lnake a home. 1t takes the combined
influence and personality of every per.
son living under the roof to give its
| true character. Every book. every pic.
! ture. every carefully selected piece OF
| furniture. brought into the house
makes it q part of beautiful whole
and no house can be absolutely perfect
without all these evidences of family
life
Good rules to follow in selecting col
ors for any room are to make the
choice on this basis:
With reference to the light in the
room.
With reference to other colors in adj
Joining rooms.
with reference to the general char

Her death was not sudden and was
not a surprise. For six months and
more her sufferings with cancer was
almost q constant pain. Her physical
strength began to fail and gradually
life left her. During her severe afflic-
ton she manifested wonderful courage
and patience. She had been a proba-
toner in the M. E. church since De-
cember 16, 1895. On February 10, 1910
she desired to express the ultimate in
tention Of her life With the pastor and
immediate relatives at her bedside, she
made a complete surrender to God
when she had said His will be done
Upon renewing her confession of faith
she was then baptized and taken into

nn AVE YOU ever considered how
" much environment has to dc
with the gooC or bad health OF
the individual or family? II
you have thought about it at all you
know that cheerful. pleasant and suit
able surroundings in the home LEND
their aid in maintaining good health.
These also assist in character building.
The influence of such things may be
unconscious to persons who have CIV
en- little or no thought to the subject,
but without doubt the influence exists
to some degree.
The choice Of color, the style and ar
rangement Of furniture. even the pic
lures which adorn the walls, all have
their part in developing the men and
women who inhabit the home. Com
para lively few persons have given
much thought to the study Of color.
and as result it's selection for house
or furnishings has been more the re-
suit Of chance or mischance than of
good Judgment. Color gives atmos-
it brings sense Of comfort and salts
faction with ones abode. If these are
lacking the house has failed to be a
home in the fullest sense of the word.
For one who has never studied color
the best advice is to choose quiet tones
and copy nature as far as possible. II
one has fayorite color it should sur
round one in either house furnishing
or personal adornment whenever suit
able Why not choose colors accord
ing to personal tastes?
We select our friends from sympa-
thy in thought and feeling. We do not
always phiosophize about it or stop
to analyze why we find greater pleas
ure in the society of some people than
in others. But we recognize certain
principles in our liking and know that
we are happier and enjoy our friends
better when we find those principles

If not, why did he forbid the apos

What sin, or crime, are those gull
