Adornment of Rooms In
Home Requires Careful
Study Of Color Scheme

Rooms have to be studied, like peo-
pie, for their adornment. Their height.
their width and their relation to the
sun must be considered. They also
have to be treated In relation TO those
who live in them.
People are playing with colors now.
Some tints, like amber and yellow, are
very difficult. You have to lead up to
them, and very often before the
scheme h complete the designer
throws 1t up In despair.
Brown is the most difficult Of all.
or every hundred people who think
they want brown, and come to the
great furnishing houses with their col
or palettes full Of every tone, ninety
five resign themselves to another color.
Greens are the easiest colors to live
with, and joyous jade green's, some
shot with blue, others with yellow, are
now to be found in the most dignified
rooms. Greens rest tired eyes in way
that captious blues can never do.
Those who cannot change their fur
nishings often favor this kindly color.
Stripes and plain-colored hangings
give size and height to a room. Motley
cretonnes or silks draw room IN and
make it smaller. So IL Is best to go
warily when dealing with the brilliant
furnishings of today.

HINTS FOR The
POULTRY GROWER

tuberculosis and internal worms
bring about greater losses to the pOul-
try industry than any other causes,
according to III. ID. Munroe. extension
poultry specialist of the Ohio State
University. Unsanitary conditions are
largely responsible. These may be
improved by rotation in the chicken
runs. Soil about permanent houses
may be plowed and cultivated crops
raised. Portable colony houses may
be used for growing chickens.
The legs of chickens suffering from
worms become paralyzed. Although
the fowls eat heartily they become
emaciated. No cure is known for the
worms; prevention is the only remedy

the left leg. The most reliable
evidence of tuberculosis may be OBJ
tanned from a post-mortem examina-
ton. White spots varying in size from
a pinhead to q pea may be found
throughout the liver and spleen. White
Jumps of turbercles varying in size
from a pea TO that of hens egg may
be found on the intestines and body
walls. The lungs are rarely found to
be infected. The spleen is frequently
the first part affected.

Hope to Save Millions
in Fires by Breaking the
Matches While in Flame

When match breaking becomes n
national habit $50,OOO,000 a year will
be saved.
BY breaking matches-that is, Of
course, matches one uses in lighting
cigar, cigarette, pipe or gas stove
many fires that annually cause loss
Of approximately $35,0O0,000 will be
eliminated, according to statement
by fire prevention authorities. And
to spread the gospel of breaking
matches and preventing fires, nation
wide picture campaign of education is
to be started.
"Under existing conditions Ameri-
cas- fire losses are increasing year by
year." said Harvey Levey, educational
director of a film company that is to
produce the pictures. "There is only
one way it can be outdone-that is by
education. The fire departments are
doing the best they can. Until the
people are educated to back them up
America will continue to pay-nOt
only In money but in lives, and that
must be placed first"
The campaign will be put on in CO.
operation with efforts of the bureau
of forestry of the department of ag-
riculture. Films showing every phase
Of destruction by fire and Of methods
to defeat heavy fire losses will be ex-
hibited in theaters in every commu-
nifty In the country, Levey said.
The first essential, Levey said, is the
breaking of lighted matches before
they are thrown away. Much less
chance will be afforded for match to
ignite adjacent combustible materials.

HENS FALL FOR NEW SCHEME
Indiana University Expert Makes
Them Work Overtime by EIec-
trio Light.

Lafayette Tnd.-Purdue university's
experiment in increased egg produc-
ton here through the use of electric
lights in poultry pens is proving a
success, according to Prof. A. G. Phil
lips, who has charge of the work. He
says that the hens in the coops that
have electric lights are laying more
eggs than the hens in unlighted coops.
In the cOops with lights the hens
continue scratching and hunting for
food, 1t is said whereas in the other
pens the hens hunt their roosts as
soon as darkness comes. With the
additional amount of food and exer-
else the hens in the lighted pens be-
come better egg producers. The cleo
trio lights are kept lighted until ten
o'clock each night, giving the hens
about five and a half hours overtime
work each day.
"Then hens have no unions that we
know of. so there is no objection to the
longer working day." said Professor
Phillips.

SALTS IF bACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating
meat for while If your Bladder
troubles you

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter il
from the blood and they become sort Of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste.
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather Ia bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable phyei-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with fithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine 90 il
no longer irritates, thus ending Bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. IL is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes o delightful, e6er.

False interpretations of .....
Providence and Wonders

We are guilty of false interpreta-
tons of providence and wonders when
we either make those to be miracles
that are none, or when we put a fiIlse
sense upon those that are real; when
we make general events to have a
private aspect, or particular accidents
to have some universal Specification.
Though both these may seem at first to
have the strictest appearance of re-
lgion, yet they are the greatest usur-
pations of the secrets Of the Almighty
and objectionable presumptions on his
high prerogatives of punishment and
reward.-Thomas Sprat.

ROB JAIL TO GET WHISKY
Williamstown, w. Va, Lookup Ia
Looted of 80 Cases of
Liquor.

Marietta, O.-Whisky isn't safe in
West Virginia, even il 1t is locked in

Chief Bush Of Williamstown, just
across the Ohio river from this city,
made the discovery when he went to
the village Jail to inspect haul made
by two Marietta detectives and him
self.
Thirty-two cases of good whisky
were on q truck which three men at
tempted to smuggle into West Virginia
from Marietta. The coppers got the
men and the liquor.
The latter was held i'm the Williams
town Jail and the men locked up here.
Last night someone reversed the usual
order of things and broke into the
Jail. It's dry today.

Use Two Hooks instead of
One in Hanging Pictures

Never fasten picture wire to a pic
ture so that, beginning at either side
Of the picture In the back, 1t comes
up to the hook on the holding in such
a way that triangle Is formed. While
not exactly a part Of picture framing,
the fastening OF the wire or cord Is
most essential, for even the most beau
tifully framed picture should be so
hung that the actual mechanism Of
hanging is as inconspicuous as pos
sible. Therefore use two wires, fast
ening them so that they are parallel
with the sides Of the frame, and use
two hooks at the holding instead of
one. II you can use cord or wire
which blends in with the wall itself
so much the better. ,
