Il VERY acceptable reaction is
~ coming into the general scheme
4 Of home furnishings reaction
against too close adherence to any
school or period of decoration The
idea in walls and floors, for instance,
is that their coverings be more like
those produced by nature, namely,
natural backgrounds with here and
there q touch of color. Homes are
made the settings of the Municipalities
of to-day, rather than copies of some
defunct period or prince. Thus, in car
pets the Oriental scheme 10 giving
place to the Occidental. *. !,
Greater taste is sure to be the re-
suit Of such a reaction. We are re-
Numbering, as one authority puts il,
that floors were intended to stay
down, walls to stay back and ceilings
to stay up. Floors are to walk upon;
walls should be but backgrounds for
pictures and people" Walls and
floors will not stay in place If covered
with patterns that lump and hop" or
with colors that are too bright. Cell
ings, too, will not stay up when
heavier in effect than walls and floors.
The rule has an unlimited application.

BEWARE OF L o

A reaction in taste has meant a re-
action in colorings. Quiet tones for
the larger. spaces. brilliant coiors
sparingly, is the rule to follow when
home is to be made a place of rest
and peace. Who can relax or feel
cheerful in a room of warning or ex-
citing tones? A one-color scheme or
a harmony of contrasts may be fol-
lowed. A mere variety of the tones
of one color does not necessarily
mean harmony. For instance, II
brown is used, let the carpets, hang
ings, furniture, harmonic in tones Of
red brown, yellow brown or gray
brown, not a tumble of them all. It
is the same with contrasts, let each
color take something of the other
into it. Thus, a room of red and blue,
in purplish red and purplish blue has
break up the rays most restfully into
a subtle charm that a disregard of
this fine harmony would lose.

Salaries and Fees Hearinu

a meeting of the special legislative
commission appointed by Gov. Haines
to investigate the matter of salaries
and fees of the State and county Off
GERS throughout the State was held
Tuesday in the Penobscot county
court house at Bangor and many of
the county officials appeared before
them. Herbert S. Wing, senator from
Franklin, is chairman, and the other
members of the committee are as fol-
lows: Senator Leslie Boynton of Lin
coin, Senator Charles Nj. Conant of
Penobscot and Representatives Lau-
rem NJ. Sanborn of South Portland,
Martin l.. Durgin Of Milo, Aaron A.

menced by this committee early in
May and already hearings have been
held in IL counties of the State. A
hearing was held Wednesday in Els
worth, Thursday the committee will
meet in Maehias. and Friday a session
will be held in Houlton. This will
complete the work with the exception
of Kennebec county, which will be
taken up at an early date.

shown that these officials often eXpend-

for clerk hire. Register of Deeds Per-

No action has yet been taken by the
committee in regard to the claims of
any of the officials anywhere in the
State, but at the end of these hear

18th Co., c. A. c., Leads All.

Adjutant General Greenlaw is much
pleased over the fact that by figures
submitted by the division of military
affairs in Washington, the 18th Co,
c. A. c., of Portland is proven to be
the best artillery organization. not
only in the State of Maine but in the
entire United States. Not only does
the 18th Co. show its superiority to
the other companies in Maine by it's
total number of first and second class
gunners and rated men, but has the
distinction of having the largest num-
Der of men qualified in these three
grades of any company in the United
States. The 18th Co., also is distin-
guished in another way. for not only
having more qualified gunners and
rated men than airy other company in
the United States, it also has the
honor of having more qualified and
rated men than any other in the en-
tire United States. The State of Maine
with its IL companies of coast artil-
lery has SIS rated men and gunners,
and this is exceeded only by New
York, which has 33 companies, or
nearly three times as many compa-
MES as that assigned to Maine, has far
less than twice the total of this figure.
The coast artillery is practically new
as far as the State of Maine is con-
oerned, this branch of the service hav-
ing been inaugurated in the Maine
National Guard only for a period of
four years. and the showing made is
considered remarkable.

GAS ON The STOMACH

Flatulence or gas in the digestive
tract, is an annoying accompaniment
of intestinal indigestion and constipa-
ton. AS rule it dictates that food
is being retained in the stomach and
intestines longer than nature intended.
When colicky pains accompany the
presence of gas the need of a gentle
laxative to clear away the offending
food residue is imperative. If the con-
dition of constipation is not quickly
corrected a coated tongue, eruptions
on the skin, headaches and backaches
soon show that the poisons have found
their way into the circulation.
The use of the gentle laxative pills,
Pinklets, will not only Danish these
unpleasant symptoms quickly but. If
used regularly for a reasonable time,
will really correct chronic constipa-
ton.
Pinklets are not like harsh purga-
tives that leave the bowels dry and
in. the end worse than before. Pinklets
gently assist nature, never grippe and
are so small and easy to take that
they are known as the dainty laxa-
tive.
Your own druggist can supply you
with Pinklets or they will be sent by
mall postpaid, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co. Schenectady, N Y at
CSC per bottle. Send for the book THE
Dainty Laxative" telling how to treat
constipation.-Adv.
