GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.

THE BOYS ROOM

} be suitable for boy My son is IL years
| old and rather activel He says he does
| not want a pink room. What color
would you suggest, If not pinkY'
A pink-and-cream color scheme is n
| dainty combination for girls room,
but is rather too perishable for the normal

color for him. | would suggest valances
OF Yale blue denim or monks cloth over
the white window curtains, and bed
cover of the same. II there is window
seat in the boys room, il should be up
holstered in the same material and have
its cushions covered to match. II the
young lnhsbitant has dreams of attending
some particular college, n cushion display
ing the college colors should also have its
place on the window seat.
And on the floor ! would have dark
blue rag rugs-or one large rag rug
For the average boy has a way of for
getting to wipe his feet before entering
the house on n rainy day, and floor cover
ings that will wash are great convenience
under such circumstances
The furniture of the boys room should
consist of the following pieces: three
quarter bed desk and desk chair, bureau,
bookcase, morris chair, two small odd,
straight chairs, and table.
The aforementioned article-a tablets,
to my mind, one Of the most important
pieces of furniture of boys room. For,
as many modern mothers are coming to
realize, a boy must have place TO tinker;
he must have some level surface on which
90 spread his wire and plncers and little
where he gets all these thingsi But the
healthy boy always has such collection)
and try out his little inventions. And if
the boy is not given such a place as this
in his own home TO work, he will seek
the home of some other boy--whose
mother understands the boy nature
better-where such tinkering is allowed
and place provided for it. The mother
who wishes TO keep her boy at home will
see the advantage of providing n work
table for her son. where he and ffis boy
friends may gather on rainy days and
enjoy themselves.
There should be few "frlls' in boys
room. A few pictures which appeal TO
the occupant Indian pictures, such as
Remington's are always appreciated1-
a standing picture of Mother for his
bureau-top-an inexpensive clock (which
will not be too great a lose in case OF
being wrecked after one of those "tussles"
which boys 50 frequently engage in)--
these things will do for ornaments In the
boys room.
The boy himself will supply the rest
crossed tennis racquets, baseball gloves
and masks, boxing gloves, a football

the wood grew into thing of exquisite
beauty. Then by accident he cut his
hand.
Il cannot finish the box. he said to his
master that night
You let me find this work done bv
morning" said his master in an angry
voice
Ali was so weak and miserable that he
shut the door and took his wav out Of the
city. IL did not matter to him which
way he went-just to get away from the
shop.
Presently he reached palace Within
he saw beautiful statues. "It is the home
of the artist Zeda, a passerbv told him
The beauty of the scene made Ali forget
hls masters cruelty and he returned to
his shop.
Sitting down before tn, box he at
tempted to carve, but the knife made his
hand falter. Later IN the night he worked
slowly, painfully, and out into the black
shadows twinkled his feeble light till
almost dawn. Then there came a knock
at his door. A tall stranger in a cloak
entered.
81 saw through the window the wood
on which you are at work, said the man.
You use the knife as if it were hurting
you"
1T does, replied Ali And he told
his story. With a plying look the
stranger listened.
Did you do all that carving yourself?"
asked the man
Yes; but my master passes it off as
his own" answered Ali.
You seem tired. Lie down bit. /
will watch here for an hour" said the
stranger.
In spite of the fact that a failure to
finish the work would bring a beating,
exhausted Ali lay down on a bed OF
shavings and was soon asleep. The
stranger took up the knife. Rapidly and
skIllfully he commenced TO work. Quick

Ali was an Egyptian boy. For years
he had run along the side OF donkey to
bring water from the Nile. Then he had
been sent TO work for a wood carver when
hIs parents died.
And Ali could carve well. With the
sharp blade in his hand he could make
exquisite figures seem almost as if the
wood was alive.
But Ali was not happy, for his master
made him do all the work. ALI day he
sat, and sometimes far into the night,
carving the boxes Of scented woods that
ladies used. He got but little food and
few kind words.
One day the master came in with
small block OF yellow wood 1t glowed
and reflected the light from It's ripples.
Its sweet odor filed the room
The Queen has ordered this to be
fashioned into a jewel box" said the
master. "It must be finished by the
next feast day"
SO Ali set to work. Far into the night

chances for all kinds of merchandise

in answer to question raised by G..
W. Durrett when he said that he un-
derstood some merchants in keokuk
were advising their customers not to
buy certain articles because they
were going to be cheaper.
Jacob Schouten summed up this
situation in a hurry when he said.

length on the subject. that no retail

to wait and buy later If they had the
goods in stock 1t was only whel,

SANDS Speaks on housing.
Preceding the election Of officers
and the business meeting, Edwin l.
Sands, who spoke to the Unity CLUB
at luncheon yesterday, addressed the
Comm ercial club last night. covering
practically the same ground as he did
in the first speech, dwelling on the
after-the-war problems with special
reference to Americanization, health
and housing conditions. He showed
the men and the representative group
of women interested in the social wei
fare of Keokuk, who were present at
the meeting, how those three points
we're linked together and what a big
question the proper solution of them
settled.
Mr.. Sands repeated what he had
said at noon when he told what con-
stituted true Americanism and he re-
minded the men of their RESPONSE
bilities rs voters and the power they
could WELD through their vote. he
said the wrong class of voters did the
voting while the sound thinking men
waited until it was all over and then
sent their objections to the senate
Health and the housing law were two
points discussed as one, their relation
to each other being SO close. Mr.
Sands gave some statistics showing
that the health Of American people
was not SO good as some persons Xix"
to think it is, and then he said large
per cent of the diseases prevalent in
the United States today are avoidable
If proper sanitary conditions existed.
AS a natural sequence to this state
ment the speaker explained some of
the most important rules in the hOus-
ing law Of Iowa which lay special
stress on matters Of ventilation, and
sanitation.

BEAR STORIES

DIAN O lOl0lIS
 w. H. Slimpert returned to town Tuesday after two month trip into the hills, principally in the neighbourhood of the head of the Chitina. He has secured one of the finest specimens of brown bear ever shot In this section. The skin measures seven it. six inches long and five feet eight inches wide.
 Camped on the Chittina bar, Bill and his partner saw MT. Bear walking along not fifty yards from them, it took five shots before Rruin was a dead one. The skull. teeth and claws arc all in excellent condition & it will make a very handsome specimen when mounted.
 Clifford Cayouette killed a 1 black bear near his vent on Cop per creek where he is doing as sessment work, returning after three days absence he found his tent broken into and a large quantity of provisions missing, including pillows and clothing, the bear knew how to provide himself with the essent tials.
 Cliff followed his trail and found packages split all along the way. He returned to the cab- in for his rifle and while still inside heard a "whoof'-the bear was on his way back for eggs and potatoes. Three shots from Betsy" ended Bruins ca reer, but he furnished a fine dinner for a number of Cliffs friends at his camp.
 Warren Nelson skinned and carved the animal.
 Mrs. Hubriek was initiated into a midnight tramp after bear short time ago, a young black one having been seen near Clear creek. Gap. got it the first shot and also wounded larger one which owing to the uncertain light they were un- able to secure.
 Mrs. Hubrick intends to get the next one herself as she says it is as easy as catching fish in Mccarthy Creek.
