The women of America are
turning into race of furniture
movers. This is particularly
true when bedrooms are con-
sidered. Every woman likes to
change the arrangement of her
furniture frequently. Too often,
however, furniture arrange
ments are limited by the light
ing fixtures. This is particular
ly true if the room is lighted
only with wall brackets. There
fore, every bedroom should
have central ceiling fixture.
There are many pleasing
types of fixtures which fit we'll
into the bedroom. The enclosed
glass globe is popular in mo-
dern rooms and the shower
type still maintains it's appeal
for many. If shower type fix
ture is installed, try changing
the sh2de to match the drap-
cries in the room. Do not use
colored lights in the fixture. In
addition to the center fixture.
If there ere plenty of conven-
fence outlets in the room, it
will be easy to put lamps on the
vanity or a pair of electric can
d1esticks on the dresser. Each
bedroom should have at least
four convenience outlets.

Public Utilities Holding Company
Act of 1885.
4. Ceased Continued attacks"
against the utilities.
A utilities expansion program of
that magnitude represents more
than a 100 per cent increase of the
most recent predictions of experts in
the utility field for 1899 outlays.
Economists and financiers gener-
ally have forecast in recent months
that a utility expansion program of
81 1000, 600, 900 year would be major
factor in stimulating increased pro-
duction in heavy industries. The
heavy industries, lag in the last year
and a half has been singled out as
contributing factor to the recent
recession.
Although all of the common stock
in Tennessee Electric Power was
owned by Commonwealth & South
ern, a large number of private in
vestors held bonds or preferred stock
of the company. Under the arrange
ment, Mr.. WILKES company will pay
of these investors at 100 cents on
the dollar in the course of the liqui-
dation of the Tennessee Electric
