is YOUR DINING ROOM CHEER
Full?

Of all the letters l receive from
my readers asking for suggestions
on the interior decorations of their
homes the majority refer to the
dining room. Housekeepers seem
to be waking up to the fact that
it is more important to have an at
tractive dining room than pleas
ant living room, because the room
where the family gathers three
times a day is bound to have an
unconscious effect upon the spirits
Of those gathered there. A drab-
Colored dining room depresses one;
cheerful surroundings where one is
eating naturally brighten the diner
and make the meal more enjoyable.
Have you ever noticed how rap
idly you eat when you go into a
cheap restaurant for q meal-and
! how lingeringly you eat meal in
| a hotel dining room with soft mu-
sic coming from behind palms and
| heavy velour drapereS soothing
the sight? The difference is-sur-
roundings!
l believe in bright 'splashes' of
color in the dining room. Let the
other rooms in the house carry out
a formal scheme. But in the din
ing room let the colors run riot!
And have them ever changing. To-
| day a vivid dish of fruit on the
sidebOard. Tomorrow have a yell
! low bowl containing nuts on the
dining table. And do not forget
flowers--crowd all the plants you
can about the windows.
! A canary bird is nuisance for a
bnsy housekeeper to care for, but
would like to see one in every home,
hanging in its gold cage in a sunny
dining room window and singing
its little heart out. There is no
sweeter or more cheerful music
than the trill of u canary.
Cretonnes afford another means
of crowding the dining room with
cheer and brightness. Today with
the high cost of linens, the sensible
woman makes her centerpieces,
! buffet runners and doilies of Gre
| tonne as well as her window over
| draperies and chair cushions
A clever woman of my acquaint-
ance found this way to achieve the
possession of beautiful nut bowl;
she took an ordinary ordinary
chopping bowl, painted it bright
yellow and lacquered it. Another
ingenious woman made her dining
room centerpiece (for between
mrals) of cretonne patterned with
black baskets continuing flowers,
then stood II real wicker basket
filled with real flowers upon this
centerpiece.
| So we all can possess these
cheer-giving accessories to din
ing room IL we will but use our
\ wits.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND GRASS
HOPPER MOUSE.

one day, when Uncle Wiggily
was Just leaving his hollow stump

venture, as ne often did, the bun

and gentle little voice calling to
him.

the voice. do you mind If |

about you from two of my friends,
and / am very glad to see you
Uncle wiggily looked all around,
as well as sideways and up the
middle. for he thought perhaps
the Woozie Wolf or the Fuzzy Fox
might be trying to play a trick
an him, speaking in a soft and
GENTLE voice to fool him.
But all that the bunny gentle
man saw was little animal with
q short, thick tail, with a pointed
nose. tiny ears and fur that was
light brown on top and white I'M

"Wiggy, I wish you'd go to the
store and get me some sugar. I'm
making a turnip chocolate cake
and l want to sweeten it."
Indeed, cake isn't much good
if it is sour" laughed the bunny
rabbit gentleman. Come" he
said to the Grasshopper Mouse
"Go to the five and six cent store
with me until l get the sugar, and
when you come back, and Nurse
Jane bakes the cake, you may

gentleman travelled over the fields
and through the woods, and soon
they were at the thirteen and

bought the sugar.

Uncle Wlggily, as the two friends

Will You Hobble
..Around All Winter!

Of course there has been
cases where some slight re-
lief was experienced from
the use of liniments and
other local applications, but
here has never yet been a
case that was actually cured
by such treatment, and tenn
porary relief is very far
from comforting to a con-
slant sufferer.
The only sensible treat
ment from which you can
expect real results is a rem
edy that goes deep down in
to the blood supply, and
kills the germs that cause
the disease. These tiny
germs multiply by the mil
lions and scatter by means
of the blood circulation
throughout the entire sys-
TEN. Whether they attack
the muscles, the joints,
limbs or other parts of the
body, they are still in the
blood, and will continue to
spread their torturing pains
until eliminated thoroughly
from the blood.
S.S.S. is a wonderful blood
remedy, and is the logical
treatment for rheumatism,
because it promptly perme-
ates the entire blood supply,
and searches out and kills
the disease germs. You can
take S.S.S. with the assur-
ance that you are not eX-
perimenting, for this fine old
remedy has been in constant
use for more than fifty years
during which time it has
been giving splendid results.
So you owe it to yourself to
take S.S.S. without delay,
and discard the use of local
remedies that can do you no
good.

committee refused to report out
the resolution, but on motion of
Mr.. Hull, it was brought up for
consideration. Upon roll call on the
passage of the resolution. thirteen
republicans and thirteen demo-
Gratis voted aye, while eighteen re-
publicans and two democrats voted
no. The resolution received the
majority of the votes cast, but not
enough for the three-fourths vote
necessary for the submission of an
amendment to change the franchise
provisions. Had the republicans
voted for the resolution in the
same ratio that the democrats did,
it would have passed.
Almost Solid for Suffrage.
When the federal suffrage
amendment was ratified at the
special session, the democrats in
in the house voted thirteen aye and
two no, while in the senate, they
cast all eight of their votes in favor
of the resolution, The republican
senators voted nine aye and five
no, while the representatives voted
twenty-three aye ana eight no.
The only other step made for
women during the 1873 session was
the proposal of Parth in senate
bill S, that allowances be made out
Of estates for widows and children.
Certainly the democratic party
has no fear i'm having its Legislative
record with reference TO labor and
women presented, especially when
the republican record on these top
les is available.
