THREE COMMEMORATE LAWS

as now constituted, could be eliminated,
and the county health official paid
salary sufficient to warrant him giving
up a practice.
The second law provides for a better
and mole thorough going system of
school Inspection, for the present sys-
tenn is inadequate, in that it leaves it
optional with school boards to order
an inspection of school children and
does not provide for a follow-up in

The third law, and a very vital one.
to the rapid growing communities in
Lake county is a more stringent hous-

forth the minimum requirements for

REASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR HOME. DECORATION
NO. 7: FLOOR COVERINGS.
BY Roger Fulton.

Aside from Oriental rugs and good I'M
itations of them little can he said in
favor of decided patterns and variegated
colorings in floor coverings. Too lnuch
design and color on the floor may easily
dcpreciate the value of an otherwise at
tractivc and well planned room.
The large demand for simple designs
and for plain centres, with fiat borders oil
lighter or darker tone of the same
color. has produced some beautifui rugs
In the last few years. These are found IN
the double faced Smyrnas and IN the
cheaper double faced fabrics of jute ana
cotton mixed. These latter rugs are very
inexpensive and quite durable, though
bit too thin for warmth. They are better
suited to the summer cottage or 10 the
spacious porch. Wilton carpets and rugs
are good, especially for bedroom where
there is a large floor space to be covered
The average bedroom, however, Is best
furnished with several smaller rugs.
Rag rugs have regained a popularity
that Is widespread. one has but to look
al a few of them to realize their charm
as well as their practcability. They may
be had In any variety of coloring and de-
sign from the palest pinkS blues ana
creams TO the deepest and richest MKT
ures. Prices probably vary I'm these more
than in any other kind of floor covering,
as they may be had in silk, wool or cot
ton. The light cotton rugs are washable,

floor space serves almost the same pur-
pose as an all-Over carpet. 1t may have
felt or paper padding underneath TO in
crease. its softness and may be fastened
down around the edges with patent fas-
teners which will keep it from slipping
about the floor and from tripping up the
unwary walker. These large rugs are
especially suitable for the dining room
and drawing room. They may also be
used in the living room, though generally
smaller rugs are better there.
While every one appreciates the beauty
Of good rug, how often does one really
stop TO consider how much influence the
rug may have on the total effect Of a
room? II its color clashes with the sur
roundings, be 1t ever so valuable, it will
lose much Of that value and depreciate
it's surroundings.
While the majority Of Oriental rugs
contain almost every color imaginable,
these colorings are confined TO the small
details in the design and are subordinate
