TO Conserve Health

taking long walks and vigorous
exercise.
People recover from this disease
in every State in the Union. 1t is
not true that cure can be OBJ
taincd only in certain places.
1t ought also to be realized that
the cure does not lay in a drug
store.
The temperature will be found be-
low normal early in the morning.
1t gradually rises throughout the
day until a fever stage is reached
some time in the afternoon. Now
fever is not good for a patient with
tuberculosis, so consequently one
should try to avoid 1t.
Rest will not only keep the
temperature within bounds, but
will lessen annoying cough Don't
take cough remedies IL 1t can be
possibly avoided. Exercise will
cause one with this disease to lose
weight Rest will increase weight
and improve appetite and diges-
ton Ignore those who say that rest
In bed will make one weak. and
hurry one to the cemetery.
Sleep with windows opened wide
and remain in fresh air throughout
the day. This will prevent the
anemia which tends to develop
otherwise. and will do great good in
other ways. 1t is an essential part
ofithe treatment. 80. t'-'''- 'a

Making OUer
q Room
BY Loretto 9. Lynch.

S<YvyE have an artistic sense"
w writes a correspondent.
w "but 1t is mighty hard
to satisfy It when one has SO little
money to spend and furniture is
higher than ever before. We find
ourselves in possession OF one OF
those old-time parlors-hair cloth
furniture. dark woodwork, old car
pets. We can spend some money
on making it over, but we have not
a great deal. Can you suggest any
thing"
Only recently I assisted two
young ladies to make over a room
with similar faults, but instead OF
walnut and haircloth, we had to
deal with mission. Patience is
great factor in making so great a
change in any room, but IL you
have patience and a regard for de-
tail, you can make a bright, CHEEKY
room out of your parlor.
There is a chemical for sale in
the paint shops that removes both
paint and varnish from woodwork.
Several applications will be needed
on the woodwork Of the room, after
which a thorough scrubbing with
hot, soapy water, to which has
been added a little washing soda.
Let the wood become thoroughly
dry before applying the, first coat
OF white paint.
When that is thoroughly dry, ap-
ply a second coat Finish with
coat of washable white enamel. II
you tell the merchant the size of
your room and the number of doors
and windows, he will be able to tell
you Just about how much paint you
will require.
1t will make your room appear
much larger IL you have the walls
finished in creamy yellow. There is
for sale nowadays washable
paint which, has a fiat finish and is
very desirable. Or, the walls may be
papered in a plain creamy oatmeal
paper. .,
aid in removing the polish from the
furniture frames. Finish the frames
white like the woodwork. Then Sc
iect a pretty cretonne. We used an
imported cretonne In green
brown old rose well subdued pat
tern for recovering the furniture
and for easement curtains.
In your case. you might carefully
cut off with. a sharp knife, each
piece of haifcloth covering. Use
this as a pattern for cutting tho
new material Allow OF course, for
the necessary turning in. Uphol-
stery tscks with white heads may
be used.
There is@ap excellent imitation OF
hardwood flooring on the market
And after, your floor with its wide
boards has. been thoroughly cleaned,
this material may be pasted In
place so 'ss,to make a border for the
rug you are going to have woven
from your old carpets. There arc
several establishments In any city
OF slse that do this work. The
CHARGES are reasonable and when
tie work is we'll done the effect is
delightful ,....-
Go over the pictures you have on
hand Select a few of general In
terest. Take them out Of their old
time frames and have them re-
framed In plain black or brown
