The question nowadays Is not what

A Lavender Bedroom.

A gray and lavender bedroom was
very attractive. The curtains of plain
lavender n~on-fadable cotton carried
out the color-note in the paper. For.
t%unately, the material was very wide,
so that it was possible to cut one
length in two for the two sides of the
window. The rugs were of lavender
cotton-two small ones-one in front
of the bed and n in front Of the
dressing table. The dressing table
was made of a box draped with the
lavender material like the curtains. A
simple mirror with a white frame was
hung over it. There was a white
enameled chest Of drawers, a white
straight chair for the dressing-table,
a white wicker arm chair with a Law
ender cushion, and a small white
wicker table with a lavender linen
square edged with a galloon for a
cover. The three-quarter bedstead
was white enamel with a woven-wire
spring and good hair mattress. A
simple white dimity spread was used.

EASY TO THREAD NEEDLE
Place on Every Sewing
Table.

Here Is a useful device invented
by a clever woman, and which should
have q place on every sewing table.
Get a block of wood two or three inches
square, a double-pointed tack (like the
kind used in mattings) and a small
folding reading or magnifying glass.
Open the glass and lay the cover on
top of the block of wood; let the
glass project its full size over the size
of the block. Then fasten in place
with the tack. If a block of wood Is
not ~o5tainable, use an empty spool of
basting thread size.
Whe niyou want to thread a small
sized ne sdle, hold the needle and the
thread under the glass and you will
have mo- trouble in getting it through
the eye. When you use the machine,
tip the block over near the needle, and
save time and trouble there also.
These blocks are invaluable for
elderly women and those too busy to
bother with threading and unthread-

INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER
Well to Remember That She Is Ever
a Model of Behavior to the
Children.

1t is hard for a young mother, who
has not yet overcome the hayward
tendencies of her own youthful nature,
to realize the influence she exerts
over her little one. She is constantly
surrounded by critical imitators who
copy her morals and
AS the mother is, SO are her sons
and daughters. If a family of children
are blessed with an intelligent moth
er, who is dainty and refined in her
manner, and does not consider it nee
essary to be one woman in the draw
ing room and an entirely different per-
son in her everyday life, but who is a
true mother and always a tender,
charming woman, she will invariably
see her habits of speech and perfect
manners repeated in her children.
Great. rough men and noisy, busy
boys will always tone down their
voices and step quietly and try to be
more mannerly when she stops to
give them a kind word and a pleasant
smile. For a true m will v
fail to say and do all the kind, pleas
ant things she can that will in n
way help to lift up and cheer those
whose lives are shaded with care and
toll. The mother of today rules the
world of tomorrow.

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is generally
with the food. The old Dame is al
ways faithful and one should act at
once.
To put off the change Is to risk that
which may be i%rreparable. An Arizona
mar says:
For years I could not safely eat any
breakfast. I tried various kinds of
breakfast food, but they were all soft,
starchy messes which gave me dis
tressing headaches. I drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for I found the toast
very constituting.
"A friend persuaded me to quit che
old coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts
instead. 1 shall neve regret taking
his advice. / began using them three
months ago.
1.-THE change they have worked in
me is wonderful. l now have no more
of the distressing sensations in my
stomach after eating, and l never have
headaches. I have gained IL pounds
In weight and feel better in every way.
"Grape-Nuts make a delicious as
well as a nutritious dish. and I find
that Postum is easily digested and
never produces dyspepsia symptoms"

the rudiments of it. Sisters mine, let
us reason together, says Woman's
Life. In every human being there Is
a spark of the divine; it is yours to

managing a man-it Is to get the very
best out of him there is to have, and
not two women in ten can do it.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing a man-to
bring out the best is a high vocation.
Only let us see to it that we are
worthy of it. There are women who

cost of their own divinity. There is

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY Is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark II az
Most Suitable Spot for DedI-
cation of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion Of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at it's ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums of
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy Of the term
"World's Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed
ucationaf movement. It's success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
ton who can secure its educational
advantages, this In turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel
ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama EXPOSE
ton, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population In the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are II, 900
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 1000, 900.
Within a radius Of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65, 900, 900.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 5000, 900.
At an average of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population of 10000, 900. Averaging
300 miles from San Francisco there
are only s large cities, with a COM
bined population of just 1000, 900.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,4o7 miles.
Over 70 per cent. of the people of
the United States could go to an
Exposition there ct an average ex-
pense for railroad fare Of $3.50, as
against an average Of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques-
ton to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama EXPOSE
ton, and If held In New Orleans a
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There
fore, we urge our readers to write to
the two senators from this State and
the congressman from this district,
requesting them to support New Or
leans In the contest.
