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

Her brown study was the name a
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, enllvened
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 slightly dark
er shade than the walls. and on il were
laid rag rugs of browns, tans and yel-
lows. The girl braided these rugs
from white material she had dyed her
self so 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 d
design of little yellow roses. With
this she made a slip cover for a little
low rocker, valance for the top OF
her window with side curtains just to
the sill. a curtain run on a brass rod
instead Of her cupboard door which
she 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
ror in the yellow rose cretonne, and
painted a 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, we'll filled. Then she felt she
had a room to enjoy.

TRIBUTE TO A PIONEER.
Obituary Of p. A. kehoe, Early Set

~ Tier OF CaSIlS 1roVe.
Monticello Times: P. A. Kehoe
died at his home in Castle { Grove
township last Thursday.
He was born in Ireland in 1887,
and came to the United states with
his parents in 1848. They located
in Cincinnati, Ohio, and resided there
until 1853, when they came to Castle
Grove, which has been Mr.. Kehoe's
home for go years. ,5r ~
The deceased is survived by two
sons, Thomas F. and William, one
sister, Mrs. Nellie Hopkins, and one
brother, Nicholas Kehoe. of this city.
John Redmond, who is leading the
forces in the British parliament for
Home Rule for Ireland, is cousin.
Mr.. Kehoe was a member OF the
Catholic church and possessed that
devotion to it's teaching which has
been a characteristic of the Irish peo-
pie. Xxx With ancestors inspired by
great deeds, as might be expected,
Mr.. Kehoe was not like the willow,
that coulF be swayed by the wind,
but in devotion to what he believed
was right, he was as unb ending and
unwedgeable as the gnarled oak. P.
A. Kehoe lived many years in Castle
Grove and he was one of the best
known citizens of the township.
About 400 people attended his fu-
reral and that great crowd of sorroW-
ing friends spoke in silent eloquence
Of the esteem in which he was held.
In politics Mr.. Kehoe was demo
crat. -
In all the acts Of his life he was
guided by the golden rule, and meas
lred with the square Of justice. Like
the gallant knight, of olden days,
he placed honor above gold and kept
The record Of his life unstained. In
the scorching heat of the summer
and the biting cold of winter he
toiled to build up and make Iowa
great. EEj
Like soldier in the battle Of life
he has fallen, and his work is lett
to others, but like the intrepid sol
der his devotion to honor and prin-
ciple will cheer and encourage 9TH
ers to strive to attain his high stand
ard Of manhood.
He has left the stage Of life for
ever -.5

HOSPITAL CARE FOR TUsERcU-
49, LOSlS.
Press Bureau. Board Of Control Of
State Institutions. Depart
.s.>n% IN TuhAr~u1oeis


There is growing conviction
among the people of Iowa that the
ultimate eradication Of tuberculosis
will require adequate hospital pro-
vision for the care and treatment OF
cons umptives, especially in the ad-
vanced stages of the disease. 1t is
the observation of persons who have
given study to the problems of pre-
vention that institutional control of
tuberculosis is the only effective
method by which to stamp out the
disease.
From Investigations extending over
period of two years which have
been made recently by committee
of prominent physicians of Minneapo
lis this observation is confirmed IN
a most positive manner. Wh1le not
minimizing the importace or proper
supervision in home treatment or tu-
berculosis, this committee, on the
other hand; found that there were
families generally not well protected
against the spread of the Infection
and the conclusions reached were
that the only effective method OF pre-
venting the spread of Infection would
be by the proper isolation in instl-
tutions of the advanced cases of tu'
berculosis. s..
Given the fact that the average
.cocs-r ptive is difficult to control
arg re :. 1.-the !a2k Of "de'Heta
supervision prevailing in the aver
age home and there is little doubt
that an advanced case particularly
will spread his disease to the other
members of the household.
The people OF Iowa have sufficient
