A PRETTY ROOM.
How to Handle a Scheme of Dec-

Satisfactorily Furnished Chamber Com.
 binss and centrasts, Warm and Cold
 celers-Nsutrai. One Toned Wall
 Paper Creates Excellent Setting For
 Pictures.
 Nothing expresses character or tenn perament more openly or ingenuously than the choice of color, for each col or in the spectrum represents a diff ferent idea, from the high light of yell low down through the cool greens and blues on one side and the warm orange and reds on the other to the shadowy,. mysterious hues of violet People choose as their favorite color either that which best expresses them or, in some mysterious way, its exact oppo- site or complement
 Color has been named the "voice of art" and. like the voice, 1t differs in each individual. No two people ever express themselves exactly in the same way through color, as no two people ever have precisely the same voice in- tonat1on.
 Color Is personal and individual, and by its thoughtful use many things may be expressed.
 A well furnished room combines and contrasts the warm and cold colors, the cold generally serving as a back ground against which the warmer tones are displayed. A background must not be stronger either in color or decoration than the object to be shown. This accounts for the well deserved popularity of the neutral one toned wall paper which creates such an ex- cellent setting for pictures, besides dis playing the furnishings of the room to the best advantage. Do not forget, however, that the entire room is itself only background for the social life which it contains, and the scheme of decoration must be subordinated to that idea. The occupants of a room are more important. or should be. than the furnishings.
 To create harmonious setting the tones must be closely keyed, with no large areas of intense color to distract the eye. Indeed, the color scheme of a room may be said to be successful when no one tone springs out to strike the eye before the rest of the room Is perceived. A perfect balance of color is restful. while spots which distract the mind are not.
 If intense color Is to be used it must be confined to very small areas. bal anced by larger areas of much less in.

Kisses AND CHEERS DURING
THE LOCAL OPTION DEBATE

The hearing on the local option bill
by the Law and Order Committee of
the House of Representatives came to a
close about 5 O'Clock last evening, the
committee taking no action On the bill
deferring it until tomorrow. Toward
the last great disorder developed at the
hearing and several times Chairman
Williams had to call for order or to re.
buke the advocates of the bill for hiss
ing, jeering and hooting those who
spoke against it.
Father j. j. Curran, of Wilkes Barre,
who was speaking when the Star -Inde,
pendent report closed yesterday. as.
serted small faith in the courts in the
matter of granting liquor licenses, and
said that many witnesses who swore
that saloons were necessary in streets
or localities where many saloons already
existed simply committed perjury.

Wi1kes-Barre that the Rev. Mr.. Van
Bossey-of Philadelphia, was introduced

the question whether or not thew will
grant licenses. No judge should be
oblged to deal with this issue. His elec.
ton and his official life should be as
far removed from the license situation
as our love for pure Judiciary can
secure. Every attorney in Pennsylva-
MIA Is an officer of the court, he ought
to be in the front of this contest to
protect the judiciary of our county
courts from the incubuse of this nom
judicial service
If we love this great Common
wealth as we should, if her history is
our conscious pride and her future our

should be free enough, brave enough,
fair enough, just enough, to enact this
law and give the people the oppor-
tunity to act for themselves on this
matter. They can settle it and settle
it right
The Governor then went to an over
flow meeting in the Grace Methodist
church, where he delivered a similar
speech. Among the speakers who pre-
ceded the Governor was E. q. Wallow-
er, of this city, who was one of the ac-
tive workers for the option cause
throughout the day. The several thou.
sand visiting local optionists from
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and other
cities, left for their homes late last
night.

TO the cleansing of my community from

which he so successfully and with fiend-
ish delight preached and gesticulated

all attempts to make this country a

other speakers, but he crowded into
that brief interval arguments that
brought howls of delight and approba-

He characterized Won Bosse s speech

heard, and satire on prohibition. -
And then he added:

of Pennsylvania If you believe in
the rule of the people, if you can trust
the people, if you are a real American,
you cannot deny the fairness of this
proposition.
This is not an issue to persecute
any one. 1t has nothing to do with
the question of prohibition as such.
1t is solely and avowedly submit,
ting of mighty question directly to
the people. What right have the
delegated representatives of the peo.
pie to deny the people a right that is
as fundamental as that by which they
choose delegated representatives. II
the people are not to be given this
right, by what reason are they given
any right! They rule in this country
and giving them their own is giving
what we cannot justly deny.
Relation to the Judiciary
"This question is not a partisan
one. 1t ought never to have become
a political issue. 1t is bound to work
harm and not good to any political
party espousing it. The selection and
election of public servants ought never
to hinge upon this traffic. The day
has come when a party can stand for
and survive. From across the sea, from
the penitentiaries, and from the hearts
of the loyal people of this great State
one can readily hear the cumulative de.
mand, let this issue out of party con.
cern, let it be with the people They
can and they will settle it better than
we can.

many counties worked harm to the

RECIPE FOR BALD HEADS
Well Known Politician Nearly Bald
Now Has New Growth of Hair
Tells How He Did II

A western politician, well known on
account of his badness and his ready
wit surprised his friends by appearing
with new growth of hair. Many of
his friends did not know him. and
Others thought he had a wig. On be-
ing asked how he did it, he made the
following statement: 81 attribute the
growth of my hair to the following
simple recipe which any lady or gem
tieman can mix at home. To a half
pint of water add OF. of Bay Rum. a
small box of Barbo Compound and u
or. OF Glycerine. Apply to the scalp
two or three times a week with the
hhger tips. 1t not only promotes the
growth of the hair, but removes dan.
drum, scalp humors and prevents the
hair from falling out. 1t darkens

the hair soft and glossy. These inere.
dients can be purchased at any drug
store at very little cost and mixed at
home. "-Adv.

AGAINST PRIVATE POLICE.

Tucson, Ariz.--Discussing the evil
Of private armies, maintained by cor
porations, President Warren made this
report to the state federation of labor
convention:
"We must insist upon the enactment
of law which will prevent a private
corporation from constituting itself an
independent police power. As the law
now stands, private corporation can
employ and arm as many men as will
agree to bear arms for them, and
wherever this is attempted condi-
tion obtains wherein otherwise peace
fuI communities are resolved into arm
ed resistance against such attempts
to overawe and intimidate them. The
irresponsible and private owned and
privately armed gunman is the proxi-
mate cause of such industrial disturb
ance now so widely prevalent through
out the county"

Unionists Are Not Guilty Steel Prices Going Up

Pittsburgh-Writing in the Pitts
burg Dispatch on the remarkable up
ward trend of the steel industry, B. E.
v. Luty says:
Conditions in the steel market have
now reached such a stage that the ma
jority of observers except an actual
runaway market in the near future.
Prices have advanced constantly, de-
mand has vastly more chance to in
crease than to decrease and the pro-
duction cannot be increased materi-
ally.
THE pressure for steel is increasing
daily. All the steel mills are striving
for maximum outputs, but there is
little increase, as substantially all the
steel making capacity has been in
operation for more than two months,
and as the weather in August was eA-
ceptionally favorable it is difficult TO
improve upon the records then made.

NO MORE CONVICT BRooMs

Chicago-"The manufacturer of
brooms at the Joliet state penitentiary
will be discontinued just as soon as
the present supply of material on hand
is exhausted" Is the word sent to Sec
retary-Treasurer Boyer, of the Inter-
national Broom and Whisk Makers
union, from the office of Gov. Dunno.
Secretary Boyer, together with offic-
ers of the state federation of labor,
took the matter up with Warden Zim-
mer, of the Joliet institution, recently,
and that official recommended to the
governor that the shop be closed.
A few months ago the unionists in
duced the management of the Chicago
house of correction to abandon the
manufacture of convict brooms, and
the broom makers union will now at
tempt to secure like results in Iowa.

Finds Wages Too Small Policies Are COnhasted

MISUNDERSTANDING in the official
journal of the Brotherhood of Team
sters, Secretary Solem, of Minneapolis
Milk Wagon Drivers union, contrasts
the policy of that organization and
former local in same calling at ST.
Paul. Both Mons were organized
about years ago. After six months St
Paul demanded wage increases that
averaged 81 day per member and re-
fused to compromise. In another six
months the union disappeared and
since then these drivers have suffered
a SIS per month reduction and are now
working for $50 and SIS per month
with no vacation.
The Minneapolis drivers adopted a
more cautious plan. By thorough or
ganization they put all employers on
the same competitive basis and then
began improving working conditions
and raising wages: Their present rates
are SIS a month with two weeks va
cation.

They cause the fermentation of foods.
they make cheese, they produce dis
ease and some of them when killed
and injected into an animal protect
It against the very disease which they
would have produced il living. Many
of them live as harmless creatures in
the body of an animal for years, only
to kill their host when the opportunity
presents. Their study has given birth
to science, bacteriology, one of the
foundation stones of public health.
Their mere presence does not nee
essa3ily produce disease. Recalling
the parable of the sower, some bac-
terra fall by the wayside some fall up
on stony places, and some fall in good
ground and bring forth the fruit of
suffering perhaps death. A normal,
temperate life, free alike from the glut-
tony of idleness or overwork, the
sound mind in the sound body, a
cheerful, normal environment, these
form the stony places in which bac-
terra take no root. The ,depraved1ap-
petites of mind and body, the dark
and sordid atmosphere of penury, the
nerve racking and straight undermine
ing trades, these prepare the good
ground.
The great weapon against bacteria
is cleanliness. The mastery over pre-
mature death lies to great measure
in our own hands. Clean persons,
clean cities, clean workshops and
clean lives are the makers of public
health. The United States Public
Health Service and other sanitary
bodies of this country are gradually
bringing these facts home TO the gem
eral public. In this way. cleanliness
is becoming more general, and the
span of life in America is gradually
being heightened All Of which is
largely due to the microscope.

Washington-Ofhcers of the asso-
eiated charities report that many Of
the demands made upon them are not
by the so-called down and outs" or
even by the unemployed, but by fami-
lies that need some assistance to sup
plement incomes too small for self
support.
One official said:
"OHe of the greatest problems is
with those families that, through no
fault of their own, cannot make both
ends meet. This is because the wages
paid for certain labor is too small.
The daily wage Garner, the street
sweeper, for example, finds $l5O too
small to maintain family to begin
with, and then there are frequent lay
offs because of the weather. The result
of this condition is that children in
those families are either sent out to
work, and fail to get an education by
which they could improve their con-
dition, or they are kept at home and
are poorly fed and suffer physical
consequences"
1t was stated that one family, con-
sisting of a man and wife and four
children under 10, is entirely self
supporting" on a weekly wage of SIS,
divided as follows. Food. $3.50: rent,
$2.75; clothing, 81; fuel and light, SO
cents; insurance, rs cents, and Incl
dentals, 81.
1t was not stated what these min
iature Wall street hnanciers will do
when sickness or unemployment over
takes them.
