The most largely used color is ln'

where nearly half the worlds output
Is consumed; II Is the blue of our oc-
cidental overalls, denims, many of our
ginghams, and other clothing; in its
natural form derived from plant life.
1t was bought by our grandmothers
in Jumps from the corner grocery, was
used by our grandfathers in their
mills; and today, in both its natural,
and its artificial form derived from
coal tar, is used by the scores of mil
lions of pounds throughout the textile
producing world. The present stua-
ton in this important product Is very
different from the pre-Niar status. Be-
fore the war Germany produced over
90 per cent Of the worlds supply Of
artificial or synthetic indigo, largely
in the form Of a paste containing 70
per cent of coloring matter. Today
England Is supplying her own needs,
the United States is being supplied
largely by one great manufacturer,
while the oriental demand is being
cared for, in part only. by another
great American factory The Swiss
manufacture, which before the war
met under 10 per cent of the worlds
needs, is still not large

ct will thus be seen that instead
of having the highest rate of any

at the tine questioned the truth of
the statement. DR.. Charles f. Dalton

Your editorial comment in the
Messenger of August II has come
to my attention in which you quote
the statement Of Or. Alice Wakefield
of st. Jchnsbury to the effect that
Vermont has the highest death date

age of any state in the country.
rms not being the fact, | have talked
" tn Dr. Wakefield and find that she
deferred to certain cities and towns
in the state where a high death rate
among children actually does prevail.

to write you showing the actual c0ndi

For comparison, have taken the
igures Of the New England states

expresses this as percentage of total
deaths and the figures are as fol-

mission" The chvm. who ad expect
couple had turned Mormon. patched
up the difficulty by persuading them
70 furnish their drawing room in ma
hogany. their living room in mission.
Really. there is quite an essential
difference in these two styles Of fur
nishing so Justly popular at the pres
cnt time. And most house furnish"rs
could b. classified into one Of TIVE
groups-those who dote on mission
and those who dote on mahogany. Th.
number of Us who can AFFORD to dote
on Japanese lacquer or Chinese Chip
y. dale is small indeed.
Hut the question Of mahogany or
mission should not be decided ac-
cording to personal preference so
much as according to the fitness of
either type OF furniture. In general
tho less expensive equipment ought
not to be attempted with mahogany.
For the cheap reproduction Of that
wood. the too high polished. too
brilliantly red that -Hrry that name
are something to be avoided. while
very good pieces OF furniture built
along the mission lines can be had
AZ comparatively small prices. Then.
TOO. less expensive rugs can be used
to advantage with the cheaper wood
Grass rugs and other floor coverings
originally designed for cottage and
porch are in excellent taste with mis-
sion furniture while they would not
tone in with mahogany.
OF one thing beware-that is, avoid
