wove in well formed English letters

The zigzags characteristic Of these

FOR the Wblte Bedroom

IN a cream or q white bedroom most
women have the idea that nothing
but white, pink or blue covers will do
for the dresser, chiffonier and bed.
This IL q mistake. To have the bed
room covers In white when the room
itself Is enameled in white 10 to mako
the room characterless, whereas to
put color into 1t at once gives 1t q
personality.
A decorator noted for his artistic
taste insists that many Of the white
enameled rooms which he plans shall
have covers of ecru or deep cream.
Deep cream is preferable. The con-
trast Of this rich tone against the white
OF the room is most effective. Even II

Hi Hbout the Navajo BLANKET

THE Navajos belong to the Athabas-
can family, which originally came
from Alaska and has always produced
Indian weavers. Originally these
weavers were restricted in the choice
Of their material to barks and the
woody fbers Of trees and plants, but
the Spaniards who invaded the south
west following the conquistadors
brought sheep with them and made it
possible for the Indians to fnd splen-
did substitute for their native cotton
and the woody substance of the various
forms Of cacti.
About the only modern implements
that are employed in weaving are the
hand cards. wire toothed combs for the
wool and shears with which to make
cuttings. The frames are made of rude
poles, with the beams held In place by
rawhide ropes.
Tho Indian puts his frames on up
rights, usually staked and lashed to
trees in front Of his hogan. or house.
The women do the weaving squatted
upon the ground. with legs folded un-
der them. They are close enough to
reach to either side or halfway up.
When the work has progressed to a
height where 1t is uncomfortable for
them to reach they tilt the loom so
that they may continue in their original
position. The spindle in use is that of
hundred years ago, stick thrust
through tho center of wooden disk.
The work is exceedingly slow, an inch
or two being a days work on the bet
ter grades.
Most of the genuine Navajo" blan-
kets that find their way to market are
gradtd as half fancy: They are made
from high grade woods. but the dye
used is aniline and not the vegetable
kind which marks the genuine blankets.
These aniline dyed blankets preserve
most of the old patterns and sunbursts
Of colors. but the weaves are not as
durable. The best blankets are made
of fine native wool spun to q tension
that makes them almost as durable as
steel. with dyes that last always. The
coarser grades Of blankets have but
few fecks of colors. being usually
white. gray or brown.
The Navajos have long had a high
reputation as experts in the use Of dyes.
In the old days they had q native blue,
but nowadays indigo 10 often substi-
tuted. Their blacks are made from
roasted ocher mixed with gum from the
small pine and later Joined to an In
fusion Of sumac leaves and twigs. A
red dye ID formed from barks and roots
OF sumac, mixed with black alder bark
and juniper ashes. The yellow dye 10
made from the boiled tops Of hower-
ing weed reduced with native alum.

often produced BY intsrwsavings Of

Events showed that Miliman had
shot himself in the head just after
leaving the house. 1t was a mortal
wound. but he was a man OF powerful
physique and did not fall at once.

FOUND DEAD IN SNOW

MAN, FRozE TO DEATH.

Drift Stalled Wagon.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Arvada Colo.-The body of John
Klassen. dairyman who disappeared
Dec. in the big snow storm on his
way home from Golden. was found
within $50 yards of his house.
The body was almost buried in
snow. Since his disappearance neigh
bors had searched the country sur
rounding his home, which is six miles
north of Golden.
Klassen went to Golden to get a
supply of milk. Because of the heavy
snow which fell while he was there
he found it impossible to drive home.
He stopped at farmhouse. One of
his horses was unhitched from the
wagon and he started to make the
trip on the animal bareback.
On the following morning the horse
wandered home. Klassen's dog. how
ever. failed to return.
On Dec 16, twelve days later, the
dog was found buried in snow. but
alive. Meantime the search for Klas-
sen was continued.
The theory is that Klassens horse
stumbled in the snow and threw him
and that the man was SO chilled he
could not remount the animal.
Klassen was wealthy. He is sur
vived by a widow and four children.

Henehan declares in his letter that
IL the government withdraws the ra-

injury upon the development of the en-
tire mineral resources OF Colorado.
THE withdrawal. for example, of the

OF an annual payroll of millions OF
dollars to Colorado miners. There are
200 miners engaged in mining car

LUNG DISEASE Of

Treatment for Broken Wind Can

Broken wind Is the old-fashioned
name given to the chronic lung com

We have only to look at a horses

throat with the fingers and thumb-in

see II he is broken winded or not.
The cough is characteristic. spas
rmodic at first. but as the disease ad-
vances, becoming single. short and
suppressed. The trouble is incurable
and the treatment therefore can only
be palliative.
The difiiculty In breathing increases
when the stomach and bowels are con-
gested with food and water. Both are
to be given only in small quantities at
a time Green food and cut grass
should be fed at intervals.
The food should always be damp

1t is good plan to mix a quarter

their action on broken wind can only
be temporary.
Every dealer has his specific for
this disease. Some give the animal a

made into balls. while others give a
quantity of leaden shot A subcutan-
