Chicago, July 31-Chicago and the middle west are awaiting with con siderable anxiety the promises of cool CT weather today after a few days of unusual heat
 The weather forecaster has prom ised lower temperature by tomorrow at the latest

tributed to the wall paper in room, and every answer was in the negative, the Presbyterian hospital going so far as to say that they had examined their records, but could find no case of even illness attributed to arsenic or any other poison in the wall paper of a room. Not one single reply support ed this time-honored charge against wall papers.
 Under certain conditions the paint ed wall is excellent. The persistent determination of some manufactur- ing concerns to flood the market with garish and undesirable wall papers has stimulated the painted wall as a medium that Is at least inoffensive, but 1t is an expensive proposition if done right.
 "The present tendency of the decor ator is not toward the elimination of patterned wall paper or fabrics, but toward the elimination of the vulgar ity of the pattern. There are too many decorators of good taste. too permit the abandonment of good style and good color wall paper.
 "At present Italian and French ideas
  tion. Where the English ideas have a place wood panels are largely used. Where the German type prevails and plain walls are used. Caen stone is frequently initiated, or some other eff feet, which requires a skillful artist to produse. This kind of wall can- not be done by the man up the alley or the woman with a can of ready-mixed paint. And even for this kind of wall, Georgian or Italian, we have scenic papers. exquisite samples of the sort that are used in the latest good example of wall decoration, the Yale Club.
 We are told that the Pompeiians, Greeks and Romans used painted walls. True. but their walls were decorated with wonderful friezes and hung with fabrics and even in the Italian period the painted wall was covered usually with velvets and ta- pestries. Cultured decorators know this.
 ''The only class that will take issue with us are those who are directly as- sociated with the manufacture or sale of paint, or the class who are not competent in the field of decoration, and who use plain paint on the walls because it requires no skill, no taste. no technique, but may be applied easily by the ignorant for the ignor- ant.
 "If the painted wall as decorative necessity has any adherents among the professional decorators, it is only with that class who are regarded gen. orally as faddists and who operate on their sonality-extremists who in- dulge in hysterical admiration for very queer things. They paint their floors with border of red and black checks, they paint the doors and wood trim a pale lavender. and, of. course, they paint the walls.''

Cruel Science,

The unfortunate farm laborer was g pessimist, with reason. He had been thrown out of several jobs by the in troduction of farm machinery, conse- quently he -distrusted everything that smacked of conservation of energy.

CURINC MEATS

In curing pork on the farm, be sure
that the hog has been properly
slaughtered and then chilled without
freezing for at least twenky-four
hours. Hams, shoulders and sides
make the best smoked meat and
should be trimmed of all three corner
ed pieces and ragged edges. These
small scraps make good sausage but
poor ham. Rub the meat we'll with
salt and leave over night. Pack in
clean hardwood barrel with the
heavier hams on the bottom, the
shoulders next and the bacon on. top.
Good brine can be made from: ten
pounds of salt, two pounds of sugar
or molasses and four gallons of water
to one hundred pounds of meat. 1t is
good precaution to boil and skim
the mixture. Saltpeter may be ad-
ded to preserve the natural color of
the meat but is harmful to the health
even if used in small quantities. Brine
does not easily freeze but meat cures
more rapidly if it does not become too
cold. The bacon will cure in from
twenty to thirty days, while the heav-
ier hams need from forty to sixty
days. Freshen cured meat in luke
warm water for six hours. Dry and
smoke with hardwood or corncobs for
four to seven days. 1t is safer to let
the fire go out at night. Well smoked
meat Keeps in a cool, dark, dry, we'll
ventilated place,

INSTITUTES POPULAR

Increased attendance at farmers
institutes over last year is indicated
in the early reports, in spite of the
bad weather that prevailed at many
places. Most of the institutes held
during November and during the
early part of December are at points
situated in the southeastern and
northeastern sections of the state.
Good interest is manifested in the
rural community life work, one of the
new features of this years activities.
Fifteen speakers are devoting their
efforts to it.
Several communities report stock
judging contests, spelling bees, and
exhibits of sewing and baked pro-
ducts as features of their meetings.

AS usual, institutes will progress
across the state during the season in
the general direction of southeast to

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
Some Things for American Parents
and Children to Remember This
Christmas SeasOn-SuggestiOn for
Merry Christmas at Home and
Abroad.

The Federal Council of the Churches
of Jml8t IN America with its central
office in New York City are sending
OUT over the signatures of their presl-
dent, Smaller Mathews; and their
Secretary, Cnarles s. Mactarland a
'Chnstmas MESSAGE to the chris
tan parents and children of America
m benat of parents and little chill
dren OF the lands across the sea.
The message presents the following
nine points for the people of this lanu
at this Christmas time:
1. The little children who lead
their blinded fathers by the hand in
Italy and Russia, Great Britain,
France, Austria and Germany, and
other lands;
2. The starving and unsheltered
infants in stricken Serbia, and her
many neighbors;
3. The million children in Belgium,
worse off than they we're last Christ
mas, dying of the white plague be-
cause they cannot get the "extra meal
a day" which the Commission is try
ing to secure for them;
a. That long-suffering Poland,
VAeNApAl NAAly dAAu BcneIOuS nelp, Will
soon have a childless Christmas;
5. That little Hebrew boys and
girls in all lands are having an al
ready full cup of suffering run over
--and that Jesus was a Hebrew boy;
s. That a million Sunday school
children in Belgium and thousands of
Huguenot boys and girls will have no
joyous Christmas tree;
2. That the christmas ship" to
Armenia and Sryia will be the only
Christmas joy in those Eastern lands
of pitiless persecution;
8. That there are numberless other

happier if we should forget these

happier if we should forget these
hue ones"
The message also makes the follow
lnk goOd suggestions:
That at some time during the hours
of public worship on Christmas Sun
day, December "a, prayer be made to
God and entreaty to the souls of men,
Tor an enlarged compassion in our
own hearts, and for peace and JUS
tice and good will among men;
That in the Sunday school on that
day there be a Christmas service in
behalf OF the children across the sea;
That at these services offerings,
from young and old, be received which
snail not be a mere interchange of
gifts between ourselves, but a great
expression of Christlike unselfshness;
That to every Christmas-tree gath
ering such gifts be brought;
That at the family altar of every
Christian home, on Christmas Day,
gifts be made equal in value to those
given in the family circle, for some
ame in the Near East or the Far
East-a home for home;
That each church, in appropriating
expenditures for its own Sunday
school Christmas, set apart also an
equal gift for a school of children
across the sea;
That for every Christmas dinner a
gift of equal value be made for the
starving children of Europe and Asia.
