Correction

In last weeks Issue, in the article which appears
under the caption "Notes from Mayor Benefits Sec
ond Inaugural Address," the following statement is
made 'Six hundred sixty-1ve arrests for drunken
ness the last year of saloons compared with ninety
three the first year without the saloon, is certainly
strong argument for no-license where sobriety and
peace is desired" This statement is somewhat mis-
leading These ninetythree arrests the first year that
Rockford had no Saloons were cases where the liquor
had been secured in Rockford and did not include the
arrests of the imported drunks This fact brought
out in the mayors statement which followed further
on in the article
We make this explanation in desire to be abso-
utelv fair in presenting the wet and dry situation in

The Work of the Legislature

This week will be the important week in the leg
slature By the time the paper reaches its readers
the day for the vote county option and other tenn
perance and liquor measures in the house will have
passed Five important bills have been passed to
third reading in the house. These will be voted upon
Wednesday the 2st. These the residence district
bill No. 273; the blind tiger bill, No. $780, the anti
brewery bill No, 400; the antl-treatng BILL No.
446; and the county option bill, which is No. 8o8
A number of other bills will be considered on sec
ond reading on Tuesday, among them the four mile
dry zone around the State University, and the five
mile dry zone around the Naval Training School
This week promises to be the most strenuous in the
legislature we have yet had.
The character of the present assembly has been
such that it has taken all this time to get to the real
battle The liquor people, aware OF the danger are
bringing bear tremendous pressure on some OF the
weaker ones who are pledged to county option. The
usual temptations held out Four or five liquor
measures will be voted the day. The contest
has been hard-fought throughout the entire as
semby. If victory it will be the peoples VIC
torv The lines are more closely drawn than ever
before The bills that pass the house will be pushed
rapidly through the senate The dhcultes as to ad-
vancement Of measures there have been largely re-
moved
The principal event of the past week was the vote
on initiative and referendum. The measure was de-
eaed because of the objections to its form Most OF
the members in favor OF this measure and 1t may
vet pass with amendments.
Other matters of legislation were largely in the
line of appropriations economic and legal questions
It is rumored that the legislature will adjourn
about the middle of June which necesstates active
work on the part of those interested in ant-saloon
legislation. ,
One of the most dangerous bills is House Bill
No. 724, by Representative Costello, which absolutely
nuli6es the present local option act. Another very
bad bill is No. 72I by Representative German OF
PEORIA which provides for the licensing of railroads
to sell liquor the trains thus making the train
travelling saloon even in dry territory. These, to-
gether with No. $50 and No. $780, should by all means

DESIGNED HER OWN ROOM
How One Girl Carried Out Idea as to
the Furnishing and Col
orlng.

Her brown study was the name q
girl gave TO little room she had
made into a snuggery of her own,
where she could read and work and
have cozy chats with her friends. 1t
was the brown study because brown
was the prevailing color, enlivened
with yellow. This girl did most OF the
work herself tinting the walls a soft
yellow tan, with picture molding
painted cream color near the ceiling
The floor was stained a slightly dark
er shade than the walls, and on it were
laid rag rugs OF browns, tans and yell
lows. The girl branded these rugs
from white material she had dyed her
self SO that they would be just the
shades she wished.
So far 1t was all plain brown, cream
and buff Now for variety and color
she chose Powered cretonne with
design of little yellow roses. With
this she made slip cover for little
low rocker, valance for the top of
her window with side curtains just to
the sill, a curtain ran on a brass rod
instead of her cupboard door which
she had taken off, and slip cover for
her lounge, She preferred the slip
covers for her chair and sofa because
they could be sent to the wash occa-
sionally, so keeping her room fresh
and bright. She framed an oblong mir
ror in the yellow rose cretonne, and
painted bureau, small kitchen
table, and two kitchen chairs In cream
colored paint On the table she placed
her blotter with its dull-brown cor
ners and over the table hung her book
shelves, well filled. Then she felt she
had a room to enjoy.

Many former coffee drinkers who

years, and finally had what the doctor

The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum

action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.

An attack would be telephoned from
one ranch at daybreak, and at the
same time fresh tracks of the wolves
would be found at another ranch miles
away This made it confusing and dis
couraging for the stockmen in pur-
suit The services of Mr.. Elkins, pro-
fessional hunter, and his pack of train
ed hounds were obtained. and since
then the wolves have been sighted re-
peatedly and shot at, but never over
taken until crowded back into the

Great relief is felt and general re-
joicing prevails among rachmen
throughout the country over the fact
that the larger and more vicious one
of the pair Of wolves has been killed.
