Care of Oriental Rugs

/
Why not take them up at once and
keep them up?
AS soon as the doors are opened sc
freely as they are now; as soon az
we come in and go out without the
ceremony of changing our shoes fo1
| the event, and as soon as windows
left open make welcome clouds OF
dust from outside, then our Oriental
rugs begin to suffer. And Oriental
rugs are worth taking very good care
of. They are as high as ever and
there is no immediate hope of their
coming down. Probably, they will
never be down to pre-war prices, at
lest while we are in the buying.
Rugs became antiques in the ORR
ent, but at the rate that most of us in
the United States use them they would
never become very ancient. For III

in the house and do not bring in the
Crime of the streets and the dust and
mud that are so harmful to the tex

SO have your rugs taken up now,
have them cleaned, and then either
put them away yourself where you
know they will be out of harms way
or have them put in moth insurance

Other reasons why the forests of
Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Caro-

of the streams traversing them have
their origin in the woodlands and de-

If the forests are destroyed the
streams are likely to have much water
in some seasons and be practically

Had it not been for the initiative OF
the American Legion there would be
no ceremony attached to the distribu.

out. II believe the American Legion
can take a justifiable pride in the
fact that but for it there would have
been no formal observance at all of the
presentation Of the Victory medal"
he said. "Under the original plan Of
distribution applicants were to apply
individually, either through recruit
ing station or military or navy post
or direct to the adjutant general Of
the army or the secretary Of the navy.
Medals were to be sent by mail to the
home address of the recipient. The
award of token so significant as the
Victory medals marks an epoch in our
history and should, and will be, invest
