The Art OF Furnishing Homes to
Make Them Beautiful, Livable.

A home wherein there is the real
pleasure of living, the love of the
beautiful, the enjoyment of genu-
inc comfOrt-the spirit of con-
tentment and the attachment that
binds the family circle firmly to-
gether-HOME! Who does not find
inspiration in such a home as that?
The secret of a well furnished
home rests not so much in the
amount spent, but in the judgment
used in choosing what goes into it.
The average woman or man fur
nishes home perhaps only once
or twice in a lifetime And yet it
is an undertaking that requires
long experience and practical
knowledge of many things if re-
suits are to be satisfactory.
1t is the mission of THIS store
to offer you the services of trained
home furnishing experts who
KNOW furniture, styles, color har-
monies and other essentials in ev-
cry detail from the practical to the
decorative ends-and to offer these
services freely in return for your
patronage, that you may avoid
costly and disappointing mistakes.
Let us demonstrate to you the
Art of Furnishing Homes, that
YOUR home may be your pride
beautiful, livable-a joy to all your
household.

More Insanitary Sanitation.

Editor the MissOurian: The last
stronghold of middle-class germless-
ness has been attacked. "Lo," says
the scientist, deadly germs lurk in
the so-called sanitary drinking foun-

drink not the water, for it issues
forth from this pseudo-sanitary cup.
Though such aristocratic members
of the germless tribe as surgical asep-
sis still remain unchanged publicly,
they lie under a dark cloud OF sus-
picion. But real mourning should be
spent over the failure of the good.

THE WILD CRABAPPLE

The wild crabapple has seen Mis-
souri, grow from an uncultered land
into thriving agricultural state not
to be outrivaled anywhere. This
flower which bloomed before Missouri
was named and which needed no cul-
tivatiOn for its beauty is now nOminat-
ed as the state flower 1t remains
for the Legislature at this session to
enact the resolution passed by the
State Horticultural Society into
law.
The choice is well made. If this
flower could talk there must be many
tales which it could tell of the strug-
giles of earlier times, the troubles of
first settlers and the conquering of
their difficulties. Sympathy, though
unspOken, has undoubtedly been pres
ent. Now its time of exaltatiOn has
come.
Missouri has long needed a state
flower. A choice of fifty years ago
would probably have been the same
as the present. The older inhabi-
tants, more than the younger genera
tion of today, realize the sentiment
attached to this flower which is so
widely distributed over Missouri. To
the wild crabapple, the peoples cho-
sen emblem, much tribute should be
paid. 1t is to be hoped that the Leg
islature, with all its rush of business,
will not overlook the choice

The plan is particularly applicable
to such cities as Columbia-cities
which are the seats of higher educa-
tional institutions. Here is oppor-
tunity for theoretical wisdom to meet
and mingle with actual problems in
the administration of municipal af-
fairs. City employees are servants of
the public, and as such should well
come any advantage which would
not only benefit themselves but in
crease and improve their services to
the city. If nothing further than the
constant exchanging of ideas, with its
attendant broadening influence, came
from the innovation. it would be we'll
worth its while.

Never Knows what He wanta.


The nuisance for the man who has
acquired great financial resources usu-
ally Is that he doesn't know what he
wants. Possessing the resources and
feeling the normal necessity to have
recourse to them, he looks about for
something TO want, and he selects the
most costly thing. The acquisition of
this most costly thing always Involves,
In practice, the separation OF the rich
man from society. Thus, he will ac-
quire a large estate. or several large
estates, and cut himself of from the
world by gates, doors, miles Of drive,
lodge keepers, menials, and secreta-
ries. Or he will acquire Il 2,OO0.ton
yacht and cross the Atlantic privately,
though less quickly, less comfortably,
and even less privately than on a great
liner. Or he wiz keep a private or
chestra, Instead of being seen ut con-
certs. All which, though magnificent,
is antlsocial and silly, and is secretly
felt to be so by the rich man when he
happens to wake up In the middle OF
the night and CANT 60 to sleep again.

SAYS CITY SHOULD
BE "TWO-NIGHTER"
Al. G. Field Declares Harris
burg Booking Should Be
Changed

Very nearly every other State
capital in the country is known in
theatrical parlance as more than a
one nighter, except Harrisburg" de-
clared AL. G. Field, the minstrel man
this morning. I'VE are trying to put
this city on the amusement map as a
two night stand, and from all indica-
tons l guess we will be successful.
My home town, Columbus Ohio, is a
capital and attractions stay there
three days and even a week is a COM
mon engagement. There is no reason
why Harrisburg should not be up in
the list and not classed as a one night
stand, but as rule producers are
afraid to chance anything that might
not pan out as they desired.
IF we are successful you will find
that other attractions will be booked
IN here for more than one night"
Al. G. Field has been coming to this
city for the past forty years, thirty
one of which has been at the head of
his own company of minstrels.
The Field parade was given this
morning and despite the inclement
weather a large throng gathered to
hear the concert offered by the gold
band under the leadership of William
Walters.

Keeps Her Children
In Perfect Health
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin
the Family Laxative For
Many Years.

Mrs. Aug. Doellefeld, of Carlyle, ILL.,,
recently wrote to DR.. Caldwell, at Mon
ucello, ILL.,, that she has used DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in her home for
number of years, and would not be
without it, as with it she has been able
to keep her four children in perfect
health. DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is
q ombination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that acts on the bowels in
an easy, natural way, and regulates
the action of this most important
function. Nearly all the sickness to
which children are subject is traceable
to bowel inaction, and a mild, depend
able laxative, such as Dr. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin, should have place in
every family medicine chest. 1t is
pleasant to the taste and children like
it, and take it readily, while it is
equally effective for adults
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
In drug stores everywhere for fifty
cents a bottle. To avoid limitations
and ineffective substitutes be sure you
get DR.. CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin. See

DROPSY TREATED FREE
bS DIR. Miles, the Great Specialist, who
Sends n 1915 Trial Treatment Free
Many Report Cured After Others Failed

At first no disease is apparently more
harmless than dropsy; a little swelling
OF the eyelids, hands, feet ankles or alb
domen. Finally there is great short
ness of breath, cough, faint spells
sometimes nauseau and vomiting, even
bursting of the limbs and a lingering
and wretcched death if the dropsy is
not removed
DR.. Miles has been known as a lead
ing specialist in these diseases for 80
years. His liberal offer of a SO. rs Treat
ment free to all sufferers is certainly
worthy OF serious consideration. You
may never have such an opportunity
again.
The Grand Dropsy Treatment consists
Of four dropsy remedies in one also
Tonic Tablets and Pura-Laxa for re-
moving the water. This treatment is
specially prescribed for each patient
and is three times as successful as that
of most physicians. 1t usually relieves
the first day, and removes swelling i'm
six days in most cases. Delay Is dam
gerous.

LAW DOES NOT CUT OFF
STATE HIGHWAY AID
CONTINUED From First PaSel


partment. In the general appropria-
ton to the Highway Department there
was one item covering the construc-
ton and maintenance of State High
ways, and an entirely separate item
covering the construction and main
tenance of State-aid highways. State
highways are such as are defined and
described in the Sproul act. State-aid
highways are main travelling high
ways, not forming parts of State high
ways, which are improved by the aid
or assistance of the State in connec-
ton wit hthe local authorities. BY
the act of June 5, 1913, P. L., All
boroughs are authorized to contribute
to the construction of State highways
within their limits, and under that
act, about twenty or twenty-five
boroughs including Camp Hill and
Penbrook, made application for the
reconstruction of certain roads within
their limits which formed parts of
State highways.
Money Exhausted
The State Highway Commissioner
had exhausted in other work all of
the appropriation for the construction
and maintenance of State Highways
and proposed making these improve
ments out of the funds appropriated
for the construction and maintenance
of State-aid highways. Our Depart
ment ruled, that under the provisions
of the act of May 81, 1911, he could
not use moneys appropriated for the
construction and maintenance of
State-aid highways for the improve
ment of State highways, and as the
appropriation for the State highways
had been exhausted by previous con-
tracts, the work of improvement in
these boroughs had to be postponed
until the Legislature appropriated
more moneys for the improvement and
maintenance of State highways.
IF the Legislature of Pennsylvania
chooses to appropriate sufficient
moneys for the work, there is nothing
at present to prevent roads in the
boroughs which form part of State
highways being reconstructed at the
expense of the Commonwealth. The
reason why great many boroughs
have not been anxious to secure this
aid, is that under existing laws after
the road has been reconstructed the
borough will have to pay one-half of
the cost of future maintenance if the
road is macadamized and the entire
cost of maintenance if it is improved
with permanent paving"
