YOUR NEW FALL
 FURNISHINGS
Expert Notes About How to Choose and Buy the Pieces You Need to Freshen Up Your Home For Winter Durability and Beauty Are Essentials.

"HE furnishing of a room re-
 quireS the same kind of dis
 crimination as the costuming
 of person. The stout woman who has good taste does not array her self in checks and plaids. She uses the principle of contrast, and by selecting materials with stripes or styles of plain severity she neutraliZes her large proportions and appears pleasantly well dressed. Similarly, in small. boxlike, square room it is folly to in troduce massive, heavy pieces, even if the pieces in themselves are beautiful to look at and splendid bargain.
 The first consideration is not price. but the conditions of the room in which the furniture is to be placed.
 The second consideration is that the furniture be comfortable and adapted to the needs of the family.
 The third is that it be beautiful and of good, durable quality.
 One of the most common errors in buying occurs in the purchase of chairs. How often chairs are bought on Hooks" without the purchaser ever once sitting in them to make sure that they are comfortable! In buying a comfortable chair make sure that 1t possesses the following essentials: The seat should slope slightly downward toward the back, and the back of the chairs should incline backward or curve outward from the seat of the chair so that it touches the back at all points.
 For fha Iininoy room tho nhoIr Y,,o q. be little more formal, but there Is no reason why it should be uncomfortable. The arms of a chair should not be more than ten inches from the seat, and the seat should be high enough so that ones feet just touch the ground when seated.
 Another point: If you can have your choice of woods bear in mind the Gif ferences in wearing power and do not be governed by present appearances alone. There is nothing more beauti full than mahogany, but it should not be the polished mahogany. because th2 high polish on new furniture usually wears off quickly and likely as not dis. closes a blemish beneath. Walnut is inexpensive and easy to take care of. unlike mahogany, which shows every little scratch and finger mark. Oak is one of the most satisfactory woods because it is not costly. wears well and is good to look at. There is an atmos- phere of warmth and comfort about some of the oak pieces that makes them highly desirable for living room or dining room.

The Care of Blankets.

Here is satisfactory way of wash. ing the blankets: Slice half cake of washing soap into two quarts of water. Set on the stove and stir until dissolved. When dissolved add cold water in q large tub. To this soapy water add four tablespoonfuls of powdered boraX. Soak the blankets in this overnight. Then wash them in this water. rinse them twice in cold water, wiring and hang on the line. This recipe will wash four blankets. Be sure to use only cold water, and they will come out as soft and beauti ful as new. A teaspoonful of glycerin added to the rinsing water will i'm. prove them. Very heavy blankets may sometimes be cleaned by hanging them on the line, soaping and securing them and then simply turning the hose on them.

mystery of how and why they come. We will only keep the door open for them al- ways, and hearty WelCome-after we have recognized them.
 l have read many biographies of Lin coin; I have sought out with the greatest interest the many intimate stories that are told of him. The narratives of nearby friends, the sketches at close quarters, in which those who had the privilege of be- ing associated with him have tried to de pict for us the very man himself "in his habit as he lived" but I have nowhere found a real intimate of Lincoln's.
 I nowhere get the impression in any narrative or reminiscence that the writer had in fact penetrated to the heart of this mystery or that any man could penetrate to the heart of it. That breeding spirit
 Photo by American Press Association: had no real familiars. I get the impression that 1t never spoke out in complete self revelation and that it could not reveal it. self completely to any one.
 Lincoln the Lonely Man. It was a very lonely spirit that looked out from underneath those shaggy brows and comprehended men without fully com muning with them, as if, in spite of all its genial efforts at comradeshp, it dwelt apart, saw it's visions of duty where no man looked on.
 There is a very holy and very terrible Isolation for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in affairs for others as well as for himself, for nn- tion as we'll as for individuals. That pri- vacy no man can intrude upon. That lonely search of the spirit for the right perhaps no man can assist. This strange child of the cabin kept company with in visible things, was born into no intimacy but that of its own silently assembling and deploying thoughts.
 I have come here today not to utter r he Cfo de in nf none - but to endeavor to interpret the meaning of this gift to the nation of the place of his birth and origin. Is not this an altar upon which we may forever keep alive the vesta fire of democracy as upon a shrine at which some of the deepest and most sacred hopes of mankind may from age to age be rekindled? For these hopes must constantly be rekindled, and only those who live can rekindle them. The only stuff that can retain the life | giving heat is the stuff of living hearts. 1 And the hopes of mankind cannot be kept | alive by words merely, by constitutions | and doctrines of right and codes of lib | erty. The object of democracy is to trans mute these into the life and action of so- 1 ciety the self denial and self sacrifice of | heroic men and women willing to make | their lives an embodiment of right and 1 service and enlightened purpose.
 | The commands of democracy are as i'm perative as it's privileges and opportunities
 are wide and generous. Its compulsion Is
 upon us. It will be great and lift great l light for the guidance of the nations only | If we are great and carry that light high
 for the guidance of our feet. We are not
 worthy to stand here unless we ourselves 1 be in deed and in truth real democrats l and servants of mankind, ready to give
 our very lives for the freedom and justice | and spiritual exaltation of the great ma.
 ton which shelters and nurtures us.

To Keep Plants Fresh.

There is a simple way to water ferns and flowers which will be of interest to one who must leave them for time without care. Take a washing tub and place three or four bricks in it and put about two inches of water in the tub. Place the flowers on these bricks and place the tub where they can get the morning sunshine.

 Way to Avoid it.
 Why will people continue to suffer the agonies of kidney complaint, back. ache, urinary disorders, lameness, headaches, languor, why allow them. selves to become chronic invalids, when tested remedy is offered them?
 Doan's Kidney Pills have been used in kidney trouble over 30 years, have been tested in thousands of cases.
 If you have any, evenone, of the symptoms of kidney disease may set in and make neglect dangerous. Read this Canaan testimony:
 Mrs. E. Hawver. Barlow St., Ga. naan, say: "I know that Doan's Kid. ney Pills live up to the claims made for them and don't hestitate to recom- mend them. For sometime my kid neys were weak and I suffered from backache. DoaI's Kidney Pills, pro. cured at R. T. Farnum & Go. s Drug Store, gave me great relief"
 Pr.ce 50c, at all dealers. Don't sim. ply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Hawver had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

Snow as a Fertilizer

From experiments conducted in
Ottawa. in Canada # appears that
there are some slight grounds for the
Widely-accepted opinion among agrir
culturtsts that snow IL a direct fer
tilizer, says the Pharmaceutical Jour
nal. It IL found to contain total
nitrogen equivalent in round numbers
to about a pound per acre Of land
covered by an average winter snow
fall In that district. The amount of
nitrogen as free ammonia was high,
but fluctuated greatly, from o.0S2 to
1850 parts per million; the nitrogen
was albuminoid ammonia ranged from
o.033 to DOTS parts per million. and
the nitrogen as nitrites and nitrates
ranged from 0.027 to o.890 parts per
million. The average of twelve de-
terminations from Feb. twenty first to
May fourth. was, nitrogen, as free am
monia 0.056, as albuminoid ammonia,
0.O52, and as nitrates and nitrites
0.163 parts per million. The value
of snow as direct fertilizer would
appear, so far as the nitrogen content
I is concerned, to be greatly overesti-
mated. 1t Is offended to continue
the experiments both in summer and
winter to determine definitely the
manurial value of both snow and rain.
