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

Her brown study was the name a
girl gave TO a little room she had
made into a snuggery of her own,
where she could read and work and
have coy chats with her friends. 1t
vas 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 a picture molding
painted cream color near the ceiling.
The floor was stained a slightly dark
or shade than the walls, and on it were
aid rag rugs of browns, tans and yell
lows. The girl branded these rug
from white material she had dyed her
self 80 that they would be just the
shades she wished.
So far it was all plain brown, cream
and buff. Now for variety and color
she chose a lowered cretonne with a
design of little yeGow roses. With
this she made a slip cover for a little
low rocker, a 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
h had taken off, and a 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
o in the yellow rose cretonne. and
painted a bureau, a 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 q room to enjoy.

On the whole. at least three out Of every

The Wisconsin committee makes a dras-
tic suggestion. one not without merit, in
view of the part played by carelessness
in producing fires. II says;
Why should not every man whose

He,pIno the Little Fellow.

The United Shoe Machinery Com
pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation of a shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start In
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes. but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number of shoes he makes-an
average of less than 2 % cents a pair
and let us keep them up to date.
That is a fair arrangement. Some of
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fell
lows stand with us because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
If it were not for our methods of doing
business there would be no small fac
tories anywhere and no prosperous
factories in small towns.

Night Relief
for Constipation
Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are We'll and
Happy BY Morning

It is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most gen
eral, and S o we have a whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi-
gestion, for they are closely allied. But
common as constipation is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they have
it. They will complain of headache.
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
scious of the cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once a day. If you
pass a day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any inconvenience.
Legions of people use it regularly in
such emergencies. some of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives.

To Clean Rubber.

A rubber oat can be nicely cleaned
by the use of automobile soap, a jel-
lylike substance of dark color, which
a be procured at any automobile
supply store or at a garage.
The soap can be used for other
garments also, as it does not injure
he finest finished material, but the
effect seems better on rubberized
goods. The first step in cleaning is
to make a strong lather. Clean the
coat thoroughly and then apply the
soap over a small portion of the gar
ment. Carefully wash off the soap
by sponging with clear water and pro-
coed to next space to be cleaned. Dry
out of doors.

START CHICKEN RAISING
ON A SMALL SCALE

One of the best ways for a be-
ginner to begin is by buying a flock
of day-old chicks. for which he should
pay 10 to 20 cents each. If he is stock
ing his SKIS foot house he had better
buy 30 chicks. Al few will die. though
the loss should be small, about one
half will be cockerels and should be
fried early in the fall; while the flock
should thus sift down to a dozen
healthy. contented pullets, ready to de-
liver the first home grown eggs early
In October. To do this, of course, the
chicks should be Matched some time in
March.

to set up in the fascinating sport of

though not absolutely necessary.
Back yard poultry culture seems to
originate usually in mercenary motives.
When egg go above 80 cents a dozen.
as they do with remarkable frequency,
families of moderate means must cur

though hens fed on table scraps could
DO the work cheaper and easier at

feet of fencing. Yet other and pos

and used two nights on a switch engine

of one cent due him. When pay day came
