As Health Commissioner of the City of Chi cago l was importuned many times to recom- mend different medicines, mineral waters etc. Never yet have 1 gone on record fdvoriug any particular remedy, but I feel that in Nuxa- ted Iron an exception should be made to the rule. 1 have taken Nuxated Iron myself and experienced it's health giving. strength building effect and in the interests of the public welfare feel it my duty to make known the results of it's use. I well past my three score years and want to say that I believe that my own great physical activity is due largely today to my personal use of Nuxated Iron. and if my endorsement shall induce anaemic, nervous down and woraen- to take Nuxated Iron, and receive the wonderful tonic benefits which I have received; shall feel greatly grati- fled that made an exec ption to my lifelong rule in recommending it. From my own expeni- ence with Nuxated Iron, feel that it is such a valuable remedy that it ought to be used in every hospital and pres cribed by every physic- ian in this country.

Spend More Thought and Less Money
Making the Home Attractive

If housewives spent on their
homes a quarter of the thought they
give to their clothes, there would be
less drab, uninteresting houses in
the land" So spoke a woman who
had decided ideas of money" she
continued. but of taste" Then she
proceeded to relate what a farmers
wife did.
Her 15-year-old boy was her only
help. The outside of the house
needed painting badly, but her hus-
band did not feel that il was right
to have it done. The inside changes
his wife took into her own hands,
and a charming interior was the re-
suit of her work. BY trading some
of her farm supplies, she got the
materials together and started pro-
ceedings. She began with the liv-
ing room, which had a northern ex-
posture. Whitewash, with some pink
showing. was used on the former.
For the floor and woodwork a dull,
deep pink enamel was chosen. The
original furniture was the usual
nondescript collection and a square
grand piano. The center table, a
very ornate, oval-topped one. she
was able TO trade with the village
carpenter for a long narrow one in
white wood, also a low bookcase
These she painted herself, with heI
boys help, in dull black.
The rug, a green and black
mixture. in good condition but OF
Objectionable coloring, she herself
dyed a dull black.
For the two windows she pur-
chased plain white scrim. Above
/ the hem she placed two rows OF
black binding tape and hung them
! on a black bar.
4 white Windsor chair, with 9
pink lowered Bingham seat, wa.
placed next the bookcase.
The piano took up one corner
I Above il a water color, a present
was placed: it was framed in a sim.
/ pie molding painted black and made
\ by her boy. The original frame, {
! heavy gilt. had been removed. or
/ the piano a long strip OF pink linen
coming down well over the sides
was spread an applique design
worked on the ends.
In front Of the fireplace was tn,

ing OF the same lowered bingham
as was on the white chair cushion
an attractive pattern of white flow

| black on a rose ground. There wer,
several cushions one Of plain blacl
muslin over rose, one OF the ros,

matching the piano runner.

the shade of water paper
stenciled on black and then lac
quered.
The mantel was spaced off with
molding. On the shelf was a deep
blue bowl, holding many kinds of
lovely dried grasser. Another blue
bowl, placed on a black stand made
after q Chinese pattern, was placed
on top Of the bookcase. Above the
latter a piece Of Chinese en-
broidery, a gift from a missionary
cousin, was fastened against the
wall 1t was in different shades of
blues.
When the season permitted sprays
Of peach or apple blossoms were
brought into the room.
Two or three easy chairs and an
other small black table completed
the furnishings of the room.
