WHAT KIND OF A RUG SHALI
BUY?"

Several of my readers have
asked me to write an article on
rugs. Rugs are classified accord
ing to weave, as ingram. pile and
tufted.
Ingram rugs are woven like
cloth. with warp and wool. and
they may be used with either side
up. These are inexpensive and
give splendid service in bedrooms,
but most housewives prefer pile
or tufted rug for living room
and dining room.
The Pile weave includes both
Brussels and Wilton rugs. A Brus-
sells has only one disable side. 1t
is woven with lock stitch in
which one thread is woven over
the next, the wooden thread which
constitutes the pile being looped
in the warp and held in these loops
by steel wires; when the rug is
almost completed. these wires are
drawn out and the loops thus left
make the pile surface. There are
two grades of Brussels-"body
Brussels" and tapestry Brussels"
the former is the better choice, as
the latter has a good deal of sizing
in 1t and must, therefore, be dry
cleaned rather than steam cleaned.
A Wilton rug is simply a cut
Brussels. That is. the pile (the
Topped surface) is cut. thus giving
velvet-like surface. Brussels and
Wilton rugs are a fine choice for
either dining room or living room.
The Tufted weave includes AK
minister, Chenille and Oriental rugs.
An Administer is more reasona BILE
than a Wilton rug, but less service
Bile because the tufts loosen easily.
They are more trouble to clean. as
they shed much lint. But they do
fill very real need in the homes
of people who cannot afford
Brussels or Wilton rug; they are
equally as effective on the floor
and enable many a financially linn
ited young couple to obtain deco
rative harmony at low cost.
Chenille rugs are little beyond
the financial reach of most of us.
They are the most expensive of our
domestic, or of European. rugs.
They are like Wilton in weave and
like Administer in appearance. Many
persons use them In place of ORR
entail rugs, although of course they
are not a good substitute from a
standpoint of art or durability. The
cost OF Chenille rug depends up
on its depth of pile and the rich
ness of its coloring. Cotton Che
miles are frequently seen on bath
room floors; these are inexpensive
and are reversible and washable.
Oriental rugs are perhaps the
one thing that we'd all like to
own! They are the most expensive
rugs In the world. They are hand
tufted and are made by stretching
the warp thread in a frame and
then looping in short or long
threads of wool filling; before fin
ishing the rug, this filling is-shear-
ed down SO as to make an even
surface to the rug. A genuine
Persian rug is never even In shape.
For no Persian will make a per-
fectly symmetrical rug because he

A DISCUSSION ABOUT
CLOTHES.
CHAPTER 56

CHAPTER 56.
That's a stunning dress" Dick
said when on Sunday / put on my
Felice gown to wear to church. Its
all nonsense that women can't look

for clothes. That looks a million
dollars l suppose it is because you
have good taste and know what to
buy" A.

me to get waist out of it as We'll
I almost laughed aloud at his ignor-
ance, How easy it was for a woman
to fool a man about clothes. Yet
| hated myself for the thought.
Dear old Dick. would he awtully
glad when / didn't have to, when
/ could say openly: Il bought this
dress at Falice's and it cost -
whatever 1t did,
Really 1 should be ever SO much
happier. 1t wasn't natural for me to
deceive; rather, it hadn't been when
was a girl at home. But in New
York one saw so many beautiful
things, the women were SO chic, erd
one couldn't dress without spending
money. So / had done things ]
would not have drea med of doing at
home. And Dick would be no nap
pier-if he knew-than would /

science.
There was one thing could noe

MAN ANESE WORKERS
ACCEPT CUT IN PAY

Uniontown, Pa. Aug. 8.-Nearly
1000 employees of the American
Manganese company, at Dunbar,
Tayette county, have accepted a 40
per cent reduction in wages to keep
the plant in operation, 1t was an.
nounced recently by spokesman OF
the workmen. Company officials
and merchants Of Dunbar also did
their part to keep the plant from
closing.
This outcome of original orders
to close the plant is attributed to
the success of perfect understand
ing" brought about by r. M. Mar
shall, general manager of the COM
pany, and a former University
of Pennsylvania basketball star.
The company cut rents OF its
houses 40 to so percent. while local
merchants agreed to sharp re-
duction Of prices.

SANITY SCHOOL IMPORTANT
TO COMMUNITY HEALTH

| Our children spend great deal of
] their time in the school room. How
many parents know if these rooms
are sanitary if they are properly
ventilated, heated or lighted? If they
are cared for properly and kept free
from dust, or dirt, and if the desks
are of proper size for the different
pupils?-
| A certain cheerfulness too, is neces-
sary in the school room. Attractive
pictures on the walls, or. suggestive
charts teaching health are helpful in
Treating a desire for cleanliness, and
something of interest for the chill
dren.
Perhaps the most important health
precaution to take in school is to
determine whether the school privy is
safe, or whether or not the school has
a privy. All privies should be rain
proof, well ventilated and constructed
on plan, furnished by The State Board
of Health, located in Jackson, Miss.
This board will gladly send plan for
construction if desired.
| The use of Sanitary Privy for
every school whether Rural or Ur-
ban, is one of the greatest health pre-
cautions that can be taken for school
children; and parents and school Of
ficials should give this vital subject
their close attention.
Many epidemics have the school as
starting point, and disease may
spread over an entire community with
| one school house as starting point.
| Ranking in Importance with SAM
tary Privies, is the water supply for
the school. Water of course when
used for drinking purposes should be
pure. IF it must be used from wells,
springs or doubtful sources, it should
be tested by the State Board of
Health. This board will gladly test
the samples Of water sent in and will
report what is found. Wells and
springs should be cleaned out at the
beginning of the school term.
Ample water should be available
for all school children not only for
drinking but for washing purposes as
we'll. Hands should be washed before
eating, and after using the privy, and
positive rules should be made to cover
this.
"A Public Drinking Fountain is
deemed safe way to drink water, if
llis cannot be had the children should
at least have individual drinking cups.
Jelly glasses with lids make very nice
drinking cups.
No matter how carefully child's
health may be guarded at home, it is
not well guarded unless the school is
kept safe.
This is Community duty, and par
ents, teachers, and school officials
should unite IN an effort to make ev-
cry school in this county, safe place
for Health as well as place ii which
to acquire education.
