A FTER the plan Of rooms has
~ been decided upon and the
walls have been decorated with
colors and materials In accord
ance with the governing principles OF
light, harmony and general fitness the
next point to consider in house fur
nishing is the floor. The new house OF
modern design will probably have
floors Of hardwood. and some varie-
ties are so beautiful in themselves that
the necessary treatment is very sim
pie. A printing or filing coat OF shell
lac to preserve the wood and cover up
cracks, followed by one or more coats
of wax rubbed down until 1t has the
beautifully smooth, unpublished SURFACE
so much liked at the present time,
makes the best floor finish. A very
GOOD preparation for waxing is made
as follows: Melt one pound OF wax
slowly over hot water. When quite
soft remove from fire and beat into 1t
one pint of turpentine. If soft finish
is desired add one cupful Of paraft1n
oil before using. When ready to apply
have the wax melted and the floor free
from dust. If there are any stains on
the floor remove them before applying
the wax. A strong solution OF oxallc
acid will remove black or almost any
discoloration from wood, but 1t Will
also remove the staining substance.
and this must be restored before wax
ing. When the door Is perfectly clean
moisten a piece of flannel with the
soft wax and rub the floor all over,
using more wax as necessary. Let the
wax remain on the floor for an hour or
more. then polish with stiff WOODEN
cloth, piece of old carpet or soft leath-
er or a weighted brush made for the
purpose.
Do not use water on waxed or oiled
floors unless you wish to remove all
the finish and replace it with Jew
one. The daily care need be nothing
more than sweeping with soft hair
brush, then wiping with dust mop.

THE VANISHED BIG WOODS"
(Jr5 I

Not many years ago, when the coun-
try for miles around Waverly was
heavily wooded with forest trees IL
was not thought that within short
time cord wood would be shipped mere
for fuel. With thousands OF acres Oh
standing timber it was believed 1hat
the fuel supply was assured 1or al
least hundred years, but today Wen
improved farms take the place OF the
mighty oak, maple and elm. Large
trees of these kinds have all been cut
off. and even in the big woods" which
furnished thousands of saw logs. there
are none. There was a day when a
person could drive for miles and be IN
the timber, but now there is not
ffty-acre patch without its clearing
where crops are raised. If coal was
not used so extensively the timber
would have been depleted ere this.

WHOM TAX FERRETS ANNOY.
rNfntor7 F,a gle1


The Sioux City Journal seems to
have gathered wrong impression as
to tax ferrets. II says here is notice
TO every one with money to invest that
Iowa is not good place TO invest IL.
That is not a correct diagnosis of the
case. Any person can invest money
in Iowa ard 1t Will never be disturbed
by the tax ferret The only person the
tax ferret disturbs is the man who
never invests his money. He disturbs
the man who secures a n mortgage ana
files it with the county recorder and
never disturbs it except to see what
the interest is and goes and collects IL.
This money lcaner never pays dollar
Of city tax: never pays a dollar OF
school tax: never pays a dollar or
county tax: never pays a dollar OF
municipal tax; never pays dollar OF
road tax: never pays dollar of town
ship tax; never pays a dollar OF poor
tax: never pays a dollar towards the
support Of the various state institu-
tiors. He enjoys all the such; as
muricipal electric lights; municipal
water; police protection; comforts pro-
vid4d by his home town public library
and vet never contributes dollar. Two
wears ago the tax ferret investigated
Benton county and placed million
dollars upon the tax books. Not SIN
gle legitimate industry was injured.

a general revival of popular politics,
of common counsel, of responsible
leadership. We must supply efficient
leaders and eschew all the lower per-
sonal objects of politics. It is

case of may; a case of necessity as

day has come. Men and measures

ELIZABETH, N. j., March 20
The political tide is now turning De-
mocratic and the day when the De-
mocratic party must take charge of
this country's affairs is almost at
hand" were declarations made by
Woodrow Wilson, president Of
Princeton University, in a speech Mt

tinight. Mr. Wilson outlined the
character of legislation which the De-
mocrats should give the country 20
meet the present economic problems.
He said:
THE signs and portents of the time
are all certainly most encouraging
to those who believe that the Demo-
cratic party can be serviceable to the
country at this iuncture. It would
seem that everywhere the thoughts
of men who are anxious for the well
fare of the country are turning
against the present policies and pur-
poses of the Republican party, and
that the day when the Democratic
party must take charge of affairs is

great mistake to consider these cir
cumstances as merely a party OPP
portunity.
81 do not meean of course, to be
guilty of the egotism and audacity of
putting forth a program of Specific
measures, but I do think it possible
to state in very definite terms the
character we should wish to give to
legislation.
In the first place, we should wish
not merely to curb the trusts, and
