TNdAT your home, whether it be in
a four room fiat or a twenty
8 room mansion, shall be artistic
is a laudable ambition, but it
is well to remember that art is defined
as the skill of handicraft and that
nothing is skillful that is inappropri-
ate.
The first and perhaps most impor-
tant rule in furnishing a house is the
following: Don't put big features into a
small room.
To begin with the parlor, that apart
ment in the average home of today is
no sufficiently capacious to accommo-
date massive upholstered furniture
without conveying the impression of be-
ing stuffy and overcrowded, and yet
many women refuse to eliminate what
they have been educated to regard as
essential.
Such a parlor is most often entire
ly without character. 1t fails to strike
the mean between l-uXuriousness and
utility, which its circumscribed dimen-
siOns demand. Harmony and simplici-
ty could effect wonderful reforms in
many drawing rooms. One large mas
terpiece by Corot, beautiful as it is in
itself, could wreck beyond repair the
gentility of any II by L. drawing room
in which it might be hung.
The fault of overcrowding and an in
congruous mixture of styles is not so
general in dining rooms as in p~arlors,
but character is frequently lost through
accommodation of mantelS and side
board.
The dining room, il it is a dining
Dom and not compelled, as, of course,
many are, to fill the double function of
refectory and sitting room, should have
its purpose made attractively apparent.
not only by its chief central feature,
the table. but by chairs of amplitude
and comfortable solidity. 1t is a mis-
take to install cheap dining room
chairs; far better, if necessary, to econ
omize in some other direction. Let the
chairs typify i~neXhaustible hospitality
rather than be merely seats at table"
The excellence of a library is natural
ly Judged by the choice number of it's
books. But be your books what they
may, if you would really boast a Ii
Drary in your house, have the room ar
ranged so that reading appears to be
its primary purpose. Do not imagine
that a small central chandelier, which
would serve he purpose in your front
hall. can fill a like mission in your Ii
brary.

duced nearly 40 per cent in thirty
years, rates in Prussia were nearly as
high as at the beginning of the period
While the charge for moving a ton of
freight one mile in the United States
was a trifle over three-quarters of a
cent, the rate in Prussia was 1.41
cents.
AS illustrating the difference in rates
between government and private roads
Mr.. Acworth compared the railways
of New South Wales, Australia, with
those of Texas. While the amount of
traffic to each mile of line was about
the same in both cases, he pointed out,
the Texas railways performed for the
public four times as much service as
the government owned roads of New
South Wales. The charge in Texas
for hauling a ton of freight one mile
was less than l cent, while in the Aus
tralian state it was well over Q cents.
american railways lead the world"
said Mr.. Acworth. Nowadays when
men in any other part of the world
want to know how to run a railway
they come to the United States and
study your railways here. The Amer
lean railways are entirely the result
of private enterprise, and | think they
go a long way toward proving the case
against government ownership"

ABSECON BOULEVARD
UNTIL MAY, 1918

There is no chance of the Absecon-
Atlantic City boulevard being COM
pleted before May, 1918, and proba-
bly, not then, was the notice served
on the Freeholders at their May meet
ing by the contractors. War is hold
ing up delivery of all building ma
terial and there is no chance of get
ting steel for the drawbridges at all
for some time, was the explanation,
SO the Freeholders granted a request
for an extension of the completion un-
til May, 1918. Despite Engineer Mel
sons disapproval of using sod from
within the right of way of this road,
the Freeholders voted to pay the con-
tractors all moneys due them to date,
providing the state will sanction the
action.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and
that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an innamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Circulars

Peace Talk

THE Italian defeat, coincident with the
Il fall Of the Boselli ministry, holds
first place in all discussions of peace. "Vor-
warts" says the Italian attack was made
to bring peace. The result of the attack is
generally admitted to have vital bearing
en- immediate prospects for an indecisive
peace. England expects German offer Of
a truce to follow soon, the United States
being relied upon by the Entente to pre-
vent a premature peace. 1taly's internal
situation appears more hopeful TO the
Allies with the reorganization Of the Cabi-
net. the threat against Italian national
safety being TO reunite the nation against
the enemy and prevent duplication Of the

A cross section Of comment in journals
favorable TO Mitchell naturally uncovers
the richest ore. A favorite subject is
doping out" the split vote. Life" does i.
beautifully:
"Mr Morgenthau is thought TO be a good
Judge of New York voters, especially Jews.
He says New York contains 10000 Jewish
voters, of whom Hillquit will get $4,000, ane
the rest will be divided among the other three
candidates. OF the total $4,000 votes, be
gives Tammany 10000, Hillquit 10000 and
Bennett 10000. which leaves 100000 FOR
Mitchell. He says the fight is between Mitchei
and Hylan, and that Mitchell is the second

"O ONE not familiar with the issues
in the present Mayoralty campaign
in New York a cross section OF
editorial opinion on the eve OF election
might at first reveal only hopeless tangle
of charge and counter charge from which
the "intelllgent" voter might well turn IN
disnay or disgust. Closer examination
however, discloses a few very distinct
lines OF attack and counter attack in the
ranks Of the press. It Is Ike entering an

nicipal contest at first glance appears 70 De

serious comparison Of Mayor Mitchell and
Mr.. Hylan, in which the latter is shown
as a foil to exhibit the Mayors good quail
ties. and 1.-THE Mails" amusing illustration
of how Mr.. Murphy thinks Of New York
voters as monkeys:

the monkey house in Central Parkf IL you
have, you cannot fall TO have noticed the
strange lack Of fxity Of purpose in the aver.
age monkey At one moment MS monkeyship
is deeply and psssionately engrossed in ex-
aiming a peanut she'll. The next moment
somebody throws piece Of stick into the
cage. His monkeyship instantly drops the
peanut shell in which he had been engrossed
and devotes himself TO the piece OF stick with
equal concentration.
"Mr Murphy and bis nominee think that the
people Of New York possess the mental eslihre
Of the monkey"
AS to Mr.. Hillquit, the enemy view Is
kaleidoscope, but that he will command
essentially an anti-war and a protest vote
is thus epitomized by "The New Republic.
Every anti-war vote in New York City VIII

Americanism by Mayor Mitchell, gives
"The Times" and "The World" respec-
lively, their cue for the following remark
ably similar comments:
Judge Hylan entirely misunderstands his
place and his role. He solemnly syows that
Mayor MitchePs speech gave him his first in
timation of the existence Of the ietterhead
of the Friends of Peace with my name upon
it, His name is there, that is certain. II was
not necessary that his permission should be
asked or that he should be told that his name
was 10 be used. He was the mere tool OF
others, who used him for their purposes"
Judge Hylan's hysterical denial that he
had ANYTHING TO do with the Friends OF Peace
is lust as convincing as his denial that he had
anything to do with the swindler Goslin'
The barren hope that Bennett would at
the last moment drop out in favor OF
Mitchell gives 1.-The Sum-" The Tribune AM
THE Brooklyn Eagle" food for disap-
pointed comment. "The Eagles" COM
ment is typical:
"Mr Bennett cannot resign, cannot take his
name of the official ballot, cannot turn the
party emblem over 20 another. He can eliTni-
nate himself, however, for all practical pur
poses by advising his misguided followers 20

clude not 70 waste their votes Mitchell will
get many more of them than Hylan does"
Murphy is favorite target at all times.
The attack of THE Independent" is classic
and brief:
