ON BUYING FURNITURE

The important thing when you go
to select furniture for the home is to
know good furniture when you see, it,
and this cannot be recognized by the
price alone.
1t Is much better to buy a few good
pieces of the best models and excel
lent workmanship, than to have your
home turned into queer hodgepodge
of ill-assorted ones Suitability as to
size, shape and weight; as to comfort,
style and use; the service each style
will give; the cost, and the possibility
of renovation-all these must be
taken into account.
That the piece you contemplate
buying be suitable for use in your
home is more important than that it
look attractive in the display room
of the store. Do not be led into buy
ing "sets or suites or period fur
niture when your home is neither
large enough. nor furnishes the proper
setting for such furniture
The size and shape Of each piece
considered in relation to the space in
the room where you intend to use it,
is the most important point Very
large pieces will not only overcrowd
your room If it is small, but every
thing else in the room will actually
seem dwarfed in contrast to the mas
sive appearance.
Choose such pieces as are easy to
move They should clear a space Of
at least five inches between the bot
tom and the floor to permit easy
cleaning under them; and if they
have pillows, cushions, ETC., be sure
that these are removable, easy to
clean, and inexpensive to renovate.
Avoid those pieces which have
high polish and a lot of oyerdecora-
ton in the form of excessive carvings.
They show scratches easily, and re-
quire more work to keep clean.
In selecting any article of furniture,
measure the amount Of service it will
yield against the space it takes up in
the room. A library table, of which
the top is the only part you can use,
does less to pay its room-rent than
one with drawers and UNDERLYING
bookshelves, for instance. Every
piece of furniture that serves a
double purpose saves buying another
article.

HOW TURTLES FIND THE SEA
Explanation, According to Harvard
Scientist, Is Their Tendency to
Travel Down Hill.

Why loggerhead turtles readily find
their way to the sea soon after hatch
ing, has been discovered by George Ell.
Parker of the geological department
of Harvard university. These rep
tiles are Matched inland, and soon after
birth crawl out of their nests, he ex-
plains. Then with a few exceptions
they Immediately start their journey
in the exact direction of the sea.
The most important reason for this
behavior of the turtles is their ten
dency to go down hill, Mr.. Parker be-
lfeves. They also show an inclination
to move toward regions in which the
horizon is clear and unobstructed by
large masses. And blue areas seem
TO attract them more than other colors.
Their actions should be regarded more
complex than a simple response to
light, for the retinas of their eyes re
spond to the details, such as blue
color, rather than to the image as a
whole.

HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
THE VOGUE OF THE PLAIN
RUG
J. 1922, Harland H. Allen.

"It is a pretty safe guess" said the
un-and-coming salesman in the carpet
department, that the average Gus
toner is going to ask for rug in
some neutral shade, such as taupe, or
tan. or dull tones of blue. People
want certain things and ask for them,
and will have them if possible"
This is most interesting, in view Of
the fact that a few years ago good
strong reds and greens were the most
favored colors. Interior decorators
are supposed to be responsible for
starting the vogue of the dull solid
colors in the first place, and judging
from the demand for them in all car
pet departments today, their choice
was a most fortunate one.
There are many good reasons why
rugs in these unobtrusive shades are
so well liked. In the first place, they
will ego with anything. One can be
transplanted from the living room to
the library or from the dining room
to the sun parlor at will, and without
offending anybody's sense of the ap-
propriate. You may remember how
the red or green rug Of other days
had to be dedicated to the "red room"
or the green ROOM" where it re-
NAMED as long as it had life enough
left to protest.
Another reason favoring their
choice is that most Of the rooms in
our homes are small today, and a
plain rug increases the apparent size
of the floor space. You have noticed
how when carpets instead of rugs are
used, the use of one solid color on adj
Joining rooms always gives a sense of
great spaciousness and unity to the
whole house OF course, the greatest
effect of size is given by an unbroken
floor space. If plain material is used,
a room appears largest which is car
peted, next if single large rug is
used, and smallest when broken up
by several small rugs. Furthermore,
plain rugs, like a plain wall set off
to advantage whatever furniture may
be in the room. In general, the less
pronounced the hoor-covering the
more harmonious and restful the
whole will be-
Only one objection is offered to the
solid-colored rugs and that is that
they do show dust and footmarks
readily. 1t is claimed, however, that
those in the dull neutral shades do
not show footprints so plainly as do
the darker lcolored rugs.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, eorrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address DR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

all drug stores.-Advertisemen

WAS THE FIRST AERlALIST
Flying Squirrel May Be Said to Have
Been Forerunner of Parachute
and Machine.

No, we are not referring to birds.
We mean that shy creature, the flying
squirrel He was the first aerialist
and was the forerunner of the para
chute and the flying machine, asserts
a writer in Our Dumb Animals. 1t is
probable that he taught early expert
mentors as much about flying as did
birds. Do you know any other four
footed animal that flies? This squir-
rel is by nature a fy-by-night. as he
does most of his flying after dark, ell
though he will fly in the daytime if oc-
casion arises. Woodsmen saving
down trees have seen them appear
from a hole in a dead limb and fly
out to safety before the tree fell. This
little animal uses his tail as rudder
to guide him in his flight. He is able
to fly because of membrane connecting
feet and legs on either side. Some f1y-
ing-squirrels are reddish colored,
while others are gray. They are said
to make good pets.

Chicago-to- -Europe Boats May Fly
 American Flag

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Chicago may vet realize her dream of becoming an ocean port, with direct sailing connections with Europe. Attempts are being made to get several ship. ping board vessels into the Great Lakes for this purpose. it was learn ed Wednesday.
 If present plans reach fruition. the Chicago to- Europe boats will fly the American flag instead of the Norwegian emblem, as proposed py the much -heralded Lake and Ocean Steamship company. which has col lapsed.
 The good ship vesla, which was to have made the first trip. had still failed to arrive here Wednesday, and her sailing date had been postponed several times, so the Long Dtstribut- ing company, Chicago sponsors, grew weary and announced that in so far ss it was concerned, it made no dif- ference whether the vessel ever ar rived here or not.
 The sailing route contemplateo for the shipping board vessels IS via the Great Lakes and the St. Law renee to Montreal and thence across the Atlantic.
 J. J. Turek, associate of the Lons firm, said that it was still too early to say whether the company woulc be able to get the shipping board beats.
