FINISHING THE FLOOR
BEST POSSIBLE METHOD IS THAT-
DESCRIBED HERE.
• Varying Coats of Stains, Carefully Ap.
plied, Will Be Found to Work
Wonders In Obliterating
• Marks of Time.
>
A method of getting a satisfactory
■ floor-finish on a floor which has been’
rather badly worn and spotted, is.to
ilsst apply a coat of ground finish and
fbllow this with a coat of stain and
varnish combined. In this way the
badly worn and black spots of the or
iginal- floor are first covered up en-
tirely by . means of the ground coat.
Then the new finish is stained and
treated in an entirely new color which
will conform with the decorations
planned.
In nearly every room there will be
found one or two pieces of furniture
which need renewing. These pieces
can be easily brightened up with a
number of different finishes, which
can be purchased from your local deal
er. Take, as an example, the wicker
chair which was priglnally light in
color, but has now become badly
spotted and worn. This can be treat
ed-with - one coat of stain, which will
change -thp color, and give it a new
brilliancy ahd new 'life. Oftentimes
a coat of varnish on pieces of furni
ture, after first sanding them, can be
■ followed with rubbing with pumlce-
. stone and oil, and will produce won
derful results. The greatest pleasure
of re-decorating, of course, comes
when we have the walls, woodwork,
and -floors all finished, and reach the
point .of bringing in "the furniture,
hanging the draperies, arranging the
pictures, etc. This, of course, is a
very important part of the work, since
the arrangement of furnishings will
very easily make or mar any room.
Do not hastily place things about the
room. Use some definite plan In all
of this work. Use great care in hang
ing tho pictures, grouping similar sub
jects together, and having some varie
ty in size on the different walls. The
pictures should be arranged so that
there is a perfect balance on each
wall. This can be easily experiment
ed with until the position of each pic
ture seems to satisfy one in every re
spect. .Oftentimes a wonderful im
provement.: can bp wrought in one's
'rooms by eliminating-superfluous bric-
a-brac, pictures, etc. Avoid overcrowd
ing in the furnishings.
SIo•*! Cooking Best.
In these days of quick living, it is
well to remember that, in cooking,
only a slow and even tedious process
can bring about the best Tesults, for.
-gradually cooked food is at once more
■palatable and digestible than the rap
Idly cooked kind.
•■Tt’'cannot be too often impressed
upoir.a cook that slow methods soften
the connective tissue of meats, develop
their flavor, and render their consist-
epey /more agreeable.
Milk that is baked for long hours in
a slow oven is of a high nutritive
.’ alue, and all milk puddings,' more es
pecially barley pudding, that are. to be
served at luncheon should be prepared,
for cooking directly after the break
fast cookery pans have been cleared
away.

POINTED WAY TO SALVATION
Preacher’s Advloe Wae All Right but
Hla Friend Also Had Something
Wlae to Say.
Senator Samuel A. Ettolson, speak
ing recently at a banquet, told the fol
lowing:
“A colored preacher stood up on a
Sunday and said, 'My text this morn
ing, brothers and sistors, urn "What
shall I do to bo saved?" To mb there
Beems only one way to bo saved, and
that am to quit this’ere extravagant
living. Back to the simple life, say. I.
There am going to be no chance for
you to be saved so long as you keep
up this high living. If there is any
thing that is going to kill our race it
is these'ere luxuries. Better go hun
gry and cold like the wolf. Go out
and face the rains and fight the
storms. Go wade like the crane. You
will grow • rugged and you will grow
tough, but you’ll walk like a man
Yes, sir, that am do way to salvation,
that am de way to get saved.’
“Just then a tall colored man, ris
ing from his pew in the rear of the
church, Interrupted the preacher,
shouting: 'This am no way to bo saved.
You just jump right through that back
window and run just as fast as your
legs will carry you, for the county
sheriff am here with a warrant for
your arrest for stealing them chickens
from Massa Martin’s coop last Friday
night.”’—Chicago Tribune.
Not Used to ‘‘High Life.”
-An old farmer was in London" visit
ing his son, who had got on in the
world, and who kept a large house,
servants, eto.
When the two sat down to dinner
the first night a manservant waited
upon them, and was most assiduous
in his attentions to the old farmer.
After watching his antics for a bit the
guest exclaimed:
“What the mischief are ye dancin’
about like that for? Can ye not draw
in yer chair and Bit down? I'm sure
there’s enough here for the three of
us.”—London Mail.
ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY
R. F. P. No. 1, Lewlsburg, Ky.—“Fif
teen years ago I was badly -affected
with eczema upon my scalp first, then
it spread all over my body and con
tinued to. grow worse for four years.
It began with a dry rash. After form
ing thick scales or scabs 'the irritation
forced me to scratch tfie scabs off and
the hair would come out with them.
Upon my face and body, the sores,
would get inflamed and they disfig
ured my face. It was worse where
my clothes irritated them. The erup
tion was a yellowish watery ' kind,
sometimes bloody. In warm weather
it was so bad I was not able to work
on account of the raw irritating sores
on my head and body.
“After trying various medicines
without relief I tried Cuticiira Soap
and Ointment. After using four cakes
of Cuticura Soap and four boxes of
Cuticura Ointment and - one bottle of
the Resolvent I whs entirely sound
and well and have been for eleven
years.” (Signed) W. H. Williams.
