Color Schemes for Bedrooms That
VIII Be Change From Designs
So Long In Use.

The modern girl is rather tired ol
The pale rose and blue bedrooms OF
the past, and welcomes any new color
scheme that is attractive. Here are a
few suggestions that have become
commonplace;
Walls of soft cream color with a
stencil design In mauve shades. Hang
ing of ashes of roses linen, and fur
niture of wicker work stained soft
brownsh purple. Band Of cream col
ored linen with the stenciled designs
may be appliqued on the hangings OF
the room, such as the curtains and
cushion covers, and the rugs on the
floor should be soft Oriental colors,
Another attractive room could be
arranged in the pale shades OF the Gle
mats. The walls are colored In the
tints of this bloom In It's lilac nues,
and the woodwork should he In the
same shade of clematis, with a gray
tone in its depths, Soft lilac cur
tains, bedspread and covers should
be in the same shade stenciled In
pearl gray, while the furniture might
be of either gray enamel or brown
wood. Or cretonnes In the clematis
or wistaria designs could he used.
An all.gray room Is charming, hut a
little cold unless 1t has here and there
cushions touched with color. The
walls of such room are tinted or
papered In warm gray, with cream
ceiling which should be brought
down to the picture moldlng, Gray
enameled furniture is used, and the
cushions, covers and curtains are
gray, stenciled in soft shades of lilac
and green, with soft brown. The rugs
that cover gray stained floor are OF
gray.green hues, and the pictures on
the walls should be framed In gray
stained wood and white enamel.

IN LATE WINTER
AND EARLY SPRING
We seldom feel JUST RIGHT

At such time KASpARILLA is the best and
safest Blood Purifier, the most successful
prescription for spring humors and such
disorders of the blood as boils, pimples
pustuaes, blotches, sores and cutaneom
sruptions. Kasparil1a is admitted to bt
the best remedy for that lack OF energy
and the peculiar debility so prevalent
during the close of winter and the opening
of spring. For arrangements of the df
gestive organs it is natural corrective
operating directly upon the liver and ali
nentary canal, gently but persistentiJ
stimulating a healthy activity. 1t.
beneficial influence extends, however, te
every portion of the system, aiding in tn.
processes of digestion and assimilation Of
food, promoting wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con.
itipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi.
ness, headache, backache and despond.
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. It is
strengthening tonic of the highest value.

Concrete Work.

The farm shop, or portion of one
of the barns where it is warm enough
to keep concrete from freezing, is an
excellent place in which to make con-
crete feeding troughs, fence posts or
other devices during the winter. The
feeding troughs are made either V.
shaped or half-round like followed
out tree trunk. The concrete posts
may be either hollow or solid, and
are REINFORCED with steel or iron
rods.
For the feeding troughs the forms
are made of green lumber, in the
form of two boxes. one about four
inches larger than the other. Turn the
smaller one upside down on smooth
floor and put the second. which has
no bottom, around the first. Fill the
space with concrete and cover the
bottom of the smaller box four or six
inches deep to form the bottom Of the
trough. After the concrete Is thor
oughly hardened these forms can be
knocked of. In case Of the V-shaped
trough there are two triangular end

the steel from slipping in the con-
crete when a strain is put upon the
post.
To provide for fastening the wire

soft set them the same as you would
drive them into wooden post.
Hollow Concrete Post.
For hollow concrete posts the opera
ton Is the same except that there Is
hole left in one of the end gates
of the form to receive the galvanized
iron core. This core should taper from
21a inches in diameter at the bottom
to inch at the top. In using the core
it should be covered with a coat of oil
or grease and then 1t can be removed
in from 3 to 6 hours after the post Is
nodded.
The wood core is made In four pieces
The two sides are fiat inside and
curved outside The two central
pieces are l inch thick and taper
from 11a inches to l inch In width
This core is 21a inches In diameter
for It's entire length. When using the
wooden core 1t is more desirable to
make the post square from top to bot
tom. To successfully use this core,
wrap it with old newspaper or thin
wrapping paper. This prevents the
cement from coming in direct contact
with the wood and permits OF the re-
moval Of the core in 10 to 20 minutes
after the post is finished.
Curing the Posts.
The side boards of the forms should
be removed in "a to 4S hours after
pouring. but the posts should not be
moved for at least one week and then
very carefully. In the meantime they
should be sprinkled with water sew
eral times daily and protected from
sun and wind and from frost II it be
freezing weather Posts should cure
at least so days before being set In
the ground. During this period they
should. if possible, be placed upon
bed of moist sand and thoroughly
wetted each day. Prices Of materials
may vary in different localities, but
the average price including labor viii
range from 25 to 80 cents per post

RAINS MAKE THE
PROSPECT BRIGHT

Pecos, Texas. Feb. 2S.-Reports from
Odessa, Monahans. Barstow, TT. Stock
ton, Toyah, Balmorhea, Saragosa, Por-
tersville and other towns, over the
trans-Pecos country, are to the effect
that the recent big rains have put the
country in excellent condition. Cattle
men expect TO see plenty of grass in the
next four to six weeks, and the rains
will have the effect of so swelling the
different streams as to enlarge the wa
ter supply for irrigation.
The homeseekers' movement to this
part of the Pecos valley of Texas is
now larger than it has been in many
years and at least 10000 additional
acres of land will be planted in alfalfa
this spring; many more thousands OF
acres will be planted to other crops.

of the State experimental farms, has
ordered from California large supply
Of Tokay grapes, cherries. prunes
