Blame On PAPER
Atrocious Wall Coverings Cause
of Bad Temper.
In Article on the Subject, English
Journal Makes Serious Charges
Against Designers Who Give
Fancy the Rein.

at isn't your liver which is wrong
it is your will powerp may possible
be the exclamation Of the doctor in
the near future. Instead of sending
round to the chemist for salts and
SIENNA, the man who feels his nerves
to be tangled, his digestion to be rot
ten and taste in his mouth like
sucked pennies, will call in the men
with the ladders, the paste bucket and
the slapdash brushes.
Many a man thinks he is bad tenn
pered and takes himself seriously to
task, as he reads his paper in the
train, for having left behind him a
family in tears, when really, he is
perfectly innocent.
If he did break out and say things
and slam doors and throw things about
and ask who had been chopping fire
wood with his best razor and call the
breakfast bacon ''putrid"-it probably
vast was not that he was "ratty,"
but that the wallpaper all over his
house was enough to give a rhinoceros
thin skin, writer in London An
SwerS asserts.
In the days before wallpapers were
invented the world bred quite large
and regular crop of saints. The rea-
son no new saint ever appears on the
horizon is due to wallpapers. Who
could be a saint and live with the
atrocious convolutions, evolutions and
| pyrotechnics of the modern WALL
paper?
The thing is impossible. A wall
covered with fruit salad of cherries,
with leaves to match, may be borne
with for a day, or even a week, but
when it comes to living with it a
whole year, and often much more,
it gets on the nerves and trays the
edges of the nervous system.
| Then there is the flower paper, a
few degrees worse than the fruit salad
| contraption. A little red rose or two
scattered broadcast on nice, creamy
background may be all right, but when
it comes to what the Covent garden
porter calls "a market bunch" repeat
/ Ell all over the wall o-O LIlIleS IL IL
calculated to send a Galapagos tor
toise into hopping madness.
Then it is q funny thing how wall
paper designers love big flowers. They
wouldn't be seen looking at a daisy or
a primrose, but put sunfiower or a
dahlia or a rhododendron or prize
chrysanthemum or some mixture OF
all these which makes flower no one
ever saw outside an opium dream and
they go for it with avidity and repro
duce it by the hundred gross!
Paperhangers would be well advised
| to change their method Of advertising
their craft. 1t is no use to put up
a sign simply saying that you are a
house decorator, estimates Free" and
that sort of rot. Say, rather:
IN. o. Arsnik, Professor of Rest
Cure. Are you jumpy? Do you trem-
BILE when you see job of work? Are
you given to language? Do you as
sault the gas meter man and set the
dog on the tax gatherer? What you
| want is new wallpaper or two
something in low tones, restful and
soothing"

Maria Sanford's Apostrophe to Flag
Hail, thou flag of our fathers, flag
of the free! With pride and loyalty
and love we greet thee, and promise
to cherish thee forever. How wonder
full has been thy onward progress OF
conquest through the years; how mar
velous the triumph Of thy followers
over the vicissitudes of fortune that
met thee on their way. Daring men
have reverently placed thee on the
highest crag of the frozen North, and
have as reverently stationed thee on
the cloud-swept wastes of the far-off
frozen South. They have followed
| thee in willing service over the wastes
of every ocean and into the depths
of the impenetrable blue.
Stalwart, strong hearted men have
willingly laid down their lives at thy
command, to guard the outposts OF
| freedom. Millions of men, women and
children have stood at attention lis
tening for the first sound of thy need,
willing to give their all, if need be,
for thy defense. Thousands upon
thousands of our bravest end our
best followed thee across the seas, for
the glorious privilege of defending
the weak and the helpless, or of re-
inforcing the hard pressed lives OF
brave men who would not yield.
Our fag-it has long been known as
the emblem of strength and power.
The stricken nations of the earth have
learned sweeter attributes, kindly
sympathy, loving service, generous
helpfulness. By these thou art well
come throughout the earth.
Glorious and beautiful flag Of our
fathers, the Star-Spangled Banner,
beautiful in thine own waving folds,
glorious in the memory of the brave
deeds of those who chose thee for their
standard.
More beautiful, more glorious is the
great nation which has inherited their
land and their flag, if we who claim,
who boast our lineage from those
heroes gone, if we inherit not alone
their name, THEW blood, their banner,
but inherit their nobler part, the spir-
it that actuated them; their love of
liberty, their devotion to justice, their
infiexible pursuance of righteousness
and truth.
Most beautiful and most glorious
shalt thou be as the messenger OF
such a nation, bearing to the ends OF
the earth the glad tidings of the JOY
and the glory and the happiness of
people where freedom is linked with
Justice, where liberty is restrained by
law, and where peace on earth, good
will to men" is the living creed.
Press on, press on, glorious banner,
bearing this message to all the peo-
pies:
Our hearts, our hopes are all
with thee;
Our hearts, our hopes, our pray
ers, our tears;
Our faith triumphant Ger our
fears
Are all with thee; are all with
thee"

MARIA SANFORD DEAD

Many people of this community, and
students of the Normal school of a
year ago will remember Miss Sanford
because of the several inspiring adj
dresses which she gave here little
more than a year ago. At that time
she gave one number on the Lecture
Course and several talks to students.
She was then eighty-three years old.
Miss Sanford was for many years
Professor of Rhetoric and Public
Speaking in the University of Mime
sofa. On account of her advanced
age she retired several years ago on
a Carnegie pension. After her with
drawal from active work, she devot-
ed much of her time and energy to
lecturing. The writer of these lines
has heard her say that she hoped to
be able to work up to the very end,
and in this her wish was gratifed, for
during the night of April goth she
passed away. The day before she had
given all duuISSS DClOlC tiiG boS
of the American Revolution, of which
she was member. A part of this
address took the form of an apostro-
phe to the flag and made such pro-
found impression that arrangements
were made to have her go to New
York the following day to speak it
into a monograph in order that rec
ords of the address might be made
and preserved. But this was not to
be, for as stated above, she died that
night.
Probably no member of the faculty
at the University of Minnesota has,
during the last generation, exerted
a stronger or better influence on the
student body than did Miss Sanford.
Below we publish Maria Sanford's
"Apostrophe to the Flag" We rec
ommend that you cut it out and paste
it in your scrap-book for use on pa
triotic occasions.

VEGETABLES. FOR
SUMMER GARDENS

We would like to suggest to those
interested in supply Of fresh vege
tables during the summer the neces-
sity, of preparing now for this pur.
pose.

spring, according to Major W. l..
Floyd head Of the horticultural Col
liege, may, by cultivation and the tax.
ing off OF the fruit as 1t reaches the
proper size, be made to bear through
out the summer and fall.
For snap beans desirable variety
is the old Kentucky Wonder. They
should be planted In rows about
feet apart and trellis made so vines
can develop sufficiently to give de-
s!rable yield. BY keepingg up cultiva-
ton and adding little commercial
fertilizer from time to time this crop
will bear nearly all summer. The
beans should be kept picked as soon
as they reach the snap bean stage.
If allowed to develop to full size the
vIne will die. -
Butter beans may also be grown.
The same rule holds with them as
with the snap beans, but they will
have to be allowed to develop In the
pod, but should be picked In the
green stage. To avoid any Of the
pods being empty wood ashes from
the stove should be scattered from
time to time.
Okra will produce pods throughout
the summer il the pods are cut of
as they develop.

TIPS TO LENGTHEN
LIFE OF YOUR CAR

William II. Stewart Jr., of the
Stewart Automobile School in New
York has these five tips to give the
new driver, by which he could length
en- the life of his automobile beyond
that of the average machine:
Do not allow the engine to race or
to run when the car isstanding
Self-starters are made to be used and
it is good for the battery to be oper-
ated intelligently.
Keep the tires fully infated-soft
tires consume power as well as de-
stroy themselves.
Keep the carbureter adjusted at
the leanest possible mixture-a lean
mixture reduces carbon deposits.
Don't try to economize by purchas-
ing the ''just as good" oil Buy the
right, best grade and change the sup
ply about every 500 miles. You will
find this the most economical in the
long run.
If you follow the car driven by an
expert you will notice that he main
tains constant speed, that he does
not loaf along and then suddenly
Jump to 40 miles an hour. You use
more gasoline when you accelerate
Select safe driving speed, making
only gradual speed changes when it is
necessary.
Watch the Storage Battery
AS soon as the battery becomes
discharged it should be Immediately
charged. Otherwise, it will sulphate
rapidly, making charging more diff

Loose Fan Belts
Did you ever look at your fan belt
when you found your engine over
heating? A slipping belt means the
fan Is going ct slower speed and
does little cooling for the engine.
Tighten up the belt every once in a
while, or ask harness man to do 1t
for you.
Cleaning Out the Carbon
To clean spark plug porcelains OF
carbon deposit and other foreign mat
ter, soak them in solution Of carbon
disulphide. This will dissolve the
carbon and leave the porcelain clean.

Washington, May 20.-The Campbeu
bill establishing a women's bureRm
in the Labor Department as recon-
mended by the House committees a.
labor has passed the House and Fqsme
over to the Senate. Speaking OF this
measure, Representative Campbell or
Kansas, said:
This bill provides for the establish
lishment under provisions Of law In
bureau. That bureau was created In
the summer of 1913 and has been
provided for by the Committee on
Appropriations up until this time. IL
was thought to be the gracious and
proper thing to do to pass a law un-
der which that bureau should have
an authorized existence in the Depart
ment OF Labor.
I'VE may as well understand that
from this time on women will have
a greater part in the industries Of
have had in the past The war taugiSf
the women that they could perform
useful labor in the Industries OF the
country and II also taught those en-
gagged in industry that the women
make good employees in many OF the
industries of the country.
There Is now no question that the
necessity of providing for some regu-
latory measures for the proper em-
say that their interests can be taken
care of just as well by the Bureaus
of Labor under the control OF men
as under the control of men as under
the control of women. If ehy one
will stop to consider for a moment
he will know that there are physical
differences.
