condition often met with when an
unguided effort has been made to-
ward modern decoration. It Is when
viewing such results that the advo-
Gates of drab interiors feel justified
in their opinion that neutral colors
are most restful.
Colors when combined harmoni-
ously may be restful. but the har-
mony must be maintained. A Few
simple rules to guide one follow:
AS floor is strong enough to hold
the objects placed on it, its color
should convey this fact. Dark colors
seem of more actual strength than
light ones. Therefore, the floor
should be of a dark shade, harmoni-
GUS with the general scheme. The
woodwork may be lighter and the
walls still more so. AS "the larger
the area the more neutral the color" "
the walls should be the most neutral
color in the room. The ceiling may
be still lighter. as it should give the
impression of airiness. The furniture
and draperies offer the next largest
areas. and, though they may be a
good deal more brilliant than the
walls. floor or ceiling, the real EN-
phasis of bright. primary colors
should be found in the small objects

hurrying to the nearest of those lit

opening on one side. There he saw
a mass of the tiniest Of yellow flow

folks would not have recognized them
as flowers. But Peter knew. He knew
that these were the first flowers of
spring, and that those brown and
green hoods were provided by Old
Jack Frost and the cold breath Of
Rough Brother North Wind.
"The Skunk Cabbage is in bloom"
cried Peter joyfully. Then he made
a wry face, for the scent Of those tiny
flowers was very much like the scent
Up along the Laughing Brook into

off the ends of twigs on the maple

tassels on the alders and the poplar

Hooty the Owl had three babies in

Don't Spoil Your Child.
Hair by Washing It

When you wash your child's hair
be careful what you use. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much aikali. which is very
injurious. as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
| The best thing to use is Mulsified
| cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything
else all to pieces.
| Two or three teaspoonfuls of
Mulsifed in a cup or glass with a
| little warm water is all that is re-
quired. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich. creamy
lather. cleanses thoroughly and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and Is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy. wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, 1t
loosens and takes out every par

IN DEFENCE OF
THE RETAILER

The Dubuque, Ia, Ielegfaph-Her-
aid submits this defense of the retailer
Some of the points mentioned may
help explain to the consumer the
spread between the producer and the
consumer.
People pay $4,000 for suit of
clothes and claim that the price is un-
reasonable because the suit contains
only $500 worth of raw wool.
The clothing manufacturer answers
by stating that it is the high cost of
labor which makes the cost of the suit.
But a great many people are not
satisfied with this answer. They still
want to be shown. They feel that
there must be niger in the wood
pile somewhere.
Have they, how ever, ever stopped to
think
that six egg plants at 35 cents each
in season, can be produced from
one seed which cost 1-10O of a
cent.
that several tons of apples can be
raised on an apple tree which cost
but 50cents,
that an acre of oats, worth $1,000
comes from forty-five cents worth
of seed,
that $4,000 automobile engine is
manufactured out of iron worth
$4,000,
that $4,000 worth of finished silk
goods can be made from four dol
lors and fifty cents worth of silk
worms.
that piece of furniture which sells
for a thousand is made from
mahogany log which a native of
the tropics floated down straem
and sold to trader for plug of
tobacco,
that a Rembrandt painting which is
priceless consumed but dollars
worth af paint.
that $500 worth of note paper can
be manufactured out of 5 cents
worth of rags,
that the hand-worked tray-cloth
which serves king may be fash
ined out of a quarters worth of
flax,
that most of the misunderstanding
which confuse us, would disappear
if we could but master facts,
which cost nothing but a little
mental effort.
Labor brings the egg plant, the APP
pie tree, and the oat field to maturity.
Torn, without labor, is as useless as
clay. With long days of labor it be-
comes the twelve-cylinder engine.
The strand of silk in the cocoon is
as worthless as a blade of grass until
it becomes joined to mans inventive
ability.
And so it is with wool t must be
washed and secured carded, OF combed
on expensive machinery, made into
yarns, woven into fabrics, shrunk fin
ished, tailored labored with thru hun
bred operations, literally millions of
hazards being encountered, until the
little handful of wool from the sleeps
back, with which the operation started
turns out to be the most insignificant
part of the whole process.
And so il is with thousand other
products, whether made of wool, cot
ton, iron. copper leather or cocOons.
Of course, if any man still thinks
that there is not much of anything in
a suit of clothes but the raw WOOL the
thing for him to do is to make his own
CLOTH tailor it into suit and thus get
the laugh on the clotheir and the man
ufacturer.
Lets be fair! Let every honest
American look into his own labor costs
before he accuses his neighbor of be-
ing profiteer.
