Care of the Sleeping Room.

The ventilation of the sleeping
room is most neglected, especially
in cold weather. A mistake too
often made when building is to take
any space not otherwise used for a
sleeping room without any thought
for the light and ventilation and
then to locate the bed in any place
large enough for it. Some hotel
rooms have no outside windows.
The bedroom windows should be
open whenever the room is occupied.
In the morning the bedding should
be thoroughly aired. Do not for
get to open the windows in the day
time, nor to run up the shades and
let in all the sunshine possible. Too
many people manifest more interest
in preserving the colors of their
carpets than in keeping the healthy
color in the faces of the members
of their families.
A physician recently made the
statement that in the city slums
where the. houses were lily ventil-
ated, and big fires were kept
up, mostly in cook stoves,and where
windows were seldom opened, that
nine-tenths of the children are vic"
tins of throat or lung trouble. One
visit to such homes would convince
us of this statement, and Of the i'm
portance of fresh air to both sleep
ing and living rooms.
A lady from New England told
the writer that she had been keeping
her sleeping rooms free from deco
rations of any kind; no pictures on
the walls and nothing on the dresser
or wash stand but the absolute ne
cessities, and that she liked the plan
very much, as the room required
much less care and the sanitary con-
ditions were better.
I presume it would be step in
advance if we would discard the
use of carpets in our sleeping rooms,
and use some loose rugs or have
hard wood or painted floors, as in
most of our sanitariums. Many
sleeping rooms arenow being made
+ s:s-lrs health. be
EssifeTe III the good sound thinking
people of today are beginning to
understand the importance and ne
cessity of good fresh air, and the
proper use of it.-Farmers Union

He Practiced What He Preached

Two ladies in a street-car were
discussing their clergyman, and
one of them remarked severely
"Mr.M--does not practice what

emily been absorbed in looking out
the window, turned apd said indig'

"Well, he does, too, for he's my

vantage early Flowing

While in a broad sense it is not
true that "tillage is manure, yet for
all practical purposes, to a certain
extent, this is true-for a good
preparation of the soil at this time
is often equal to the application of
several hundred pounds of CONNER
cial fertilizer. 1t is even more i'm
portant to the man who is going to
invest in fertilizers, for it will go
a long way toward insuring a prof.
table return therefrom. The sooner
we can all realize that our soil fer
tility is not primarily question of
absolute plant food but rather one
of available plant food, the better it
will be for our pockets. The freezing
and thawing action of winter and
the admission of air are great fac
tors in increasing the available plant
food in our soils, and were fall and
winter plowing more common there
is no doubt that there would be
much less work next summer and
spring for the plant doctor and the
bug man.
The dry winter offers still anoth-
er strong reason for winter blowing
and emphasizes the fact that this
should be deep. Already many are
predicting that crops are apt to
suffer this year for lack of moisture,
and in this prediction we/fnd a
confirmation of the fact that our
soil should be we'll stored with
moisture during winter for summer
use. With an abundance of rain
during the winter, many soils are
able to store an ample supply of
moisture, even if not broken. But a
soil that has been deeply stirred and
and an seaseiI as It now seems likely that we
are not to get our usual precipita-
ton before the next crop us pitched,
it would be we'll to put our soil In a
condition to save as much as does
fall. Not only deep turning of the
surface but the following of this
with the subsoiler will certainly be
found profitable, 1t has been many
day since conditions were so ia,
vorable for a fair test Of subsoiling.
As a rule during winter, even when
the surface soil was in fair tillage
condition, the subsoil was too wet
to be stirred, and there is no doubt
that doing so under this condition
has often resulted in actual injury
Doubtless this fact will often ex
plain some of the unsatisfactory re

JOHNSTON LETTER.
Mrs. John Marsh Entertains the
New Century Club. Lecture
by Rev. Vining. Death
of Mr.. Bush.

On Sunday evening, the Rev. A.
J. Vining, representative of the Eu-
ropean Baptist alliance, spoke in the
auditorium to large audience. Mr..
Vining has travelled extensively IN
southern and eastern Europe and ne
dwelt principally, upon the condl-
tion in Bulgaria, Monte Negro,
Austria, Roumania and Ser
via. His lecture was an education
in its self, and all felt greatly re-
paid for coming out.
On Sunday morning, at the union
meeting at Philippi, Mr.. Vining was
present, and gave splendid talk.
Mr.. Smyly Stevens, of Meeting
Street, was here on Friday, and has
had a telephone line to extend from
here to his store at Meeting Street.
He is a young man of fine business
qualifications, combined with great
energy, and, the splendid mercan-
tile enterprise that he is opening up
will mean much to the community
Mrs. John w. Marsh entertained,
the members of the new century
club on Friday afternoon, In honor
of one of the members, Mrs. George
Landrum, who will leave next week
for California, her new home. The
afternoon was a typical spring one,
and the drive to Mrs. Marsh's pret-
ty colonial home near town was en-
ioyed. She is an ideal hostess and
made the occasion pleasant one:
The music was especially sweet, and
at the close, salad course, with
sweets, was served. The club deeply
regretted, that, in Mrs. Landrum's
leaving, they would lose one OF the
most active members.
