WINTER PILLOWS
SHOULD LOOK WARM
Poppies or Roses Beautiful on Pillows
When Used with Dis

No longer are we in search of cool de-
signs in pillows for the porch. 1t is the
cozy, warm-appearing pillows for the
window seat and ingienook that now con-
Germs feminine heads and workbags.
These last need not mean, however, pill
lows OF woolen stuffs or insanitary silks,
unless, OF course, one wishes II so. But
the coIors must be warm, either in the
BACKGROUND or the embroidery.
And now what designs are best for the
warm-colored embroidery? There are, of
course. the conventional designs. which
can be worked in any color that one pre-
fers, and SO 1t is that we concern our
selves more with choice ofe fioral de-
signs. Shall we head the list with red
roses? Surely nothing could be warm
er." But they are beautiful only when
used with discretion. like all haunting
decorations. Poppies. too. are appropri-
ateiy used on winter pillows. Poinsettias
are easily worked and are effective. Then
there is holly and mountain ash. Fuch-
sias. too. make a graceful decoration.
Instead OF having the pillows covered
with pale tans and greens. as were the
summer pillows. select rich, warm
browns, with only an OCCASIONAL green one
among them. Yellow sunhowers upon
dark brown are warm and bright Mas
turtiums will give one a chance to work
In warm yellow and orange.
Cut work is effectively used In pillows
A dark brown pillow top ornamented
with cut work Is very beautiful when
orange silk is placed under the eut-out
design.

full OF whole stick cinnamon broken ID
bits. Add enough vinegar to cover.
Place alternate layers of the tomato

sprinkle onion. salt, sugar. and seed
equally over each layer. Then add good
cider vinegar until the ingredients are
well covered. Set where It will simmer
until the tomatoes and cabbage are suf-
ficiently tender to permit being readily
pierced by a fork. When nearly done
add spices, which should be broken In
small bits, but not ground.

WASTE WOOD UTILIZED.
Forest Service shows Manufacturer
How to Make a Profit.

Waste wood in the manufacture of
school desks is now being used for the
backs OF cheap brushes, according to the
statement of the Forest Service.
A large manufacturer OF school desks in
Michigan had a considerable amount of
waste material in sizes which were too
short to enter into the manufacture of
the smallest desks A nearby manufac-
turer was using, practically this quantity
of maple. which he was saving up into
small pieces for making the backs OF
cheap brushes.
Members of the Forest Service. investi-
eating methods of elimbating factory
waste, conceived the idea that the blocks
used by the brush factory could be read
ily secured from the waste OF the school
desk manufacturer, and on this basis got
the two together.

woman's suffrage before an appreciate
audience on the w.st steps of the State
House at Columbus DIR. Thompson said
that this was the first opportunity he

been suffragist, because he was never
able to see single reason for opposing

INDUCES PEOPLE TO BUY
What Barnum Meant, According to
Merchant. When He Said People
Liked 70 Be SWindled.

1.-The American people like to b.
swindled.'" quoted well known ;Rer
chant the other day. II believe 1t was
old P. T. Barnum who said something
like that. although l guess those a-o
rot the exact words of the noted
Snowman
THE idea is exemplified, however.
in our everyday life as is evidenced
by the modern world Of advertising.
l want to draw fine line distinc-
ton, however, and believe that Mr..
Barnum really meant the same. thing.
l don't mean that the people are
swindled through advertising. but that
they are induced by means of adver.
tising to buy many things which
otherwise they never would have
thought Of.
In the same way l believe that
Mr.. Barnum did not mean that he
swindled people in his show business;
he thought he gave them value re.
ceived, and l think he did. but when
he said that he meant that if it wasn't
for the way he advertised not half
the people would come to see his
show that did. And it is almost the
same way with modern business
houses. Did you ever stop to consider
that a really successful house has
something going on all the time?
They have June sale Sand July
sale and white sale and black sale
and q summer sale and winter sale
and every other kind Of sale for every
day of every week of the entire
year.
And then through the newspapers
they tell the public of these sales and
the public reads and comes and buys.
And by that means the stores grow
and prosper, the newspapers grow and
prosper, the public lives better and a
higher plane, for after all this adveT
tising in sort of public educational
system. People may buy more than
they would otherwise, but they reap
ample benefits;s,.
