In a corriblnatlon of brocaded silk or satin, with plain silk or satin one can get a monotone effect with a quality of dressiness that could not be nchleted with the us of all-plain material un trimmed. And In a com bination nf hroended silk of one color with plain silk or satin nf another color you can get the same dressy result as when n plain material is elaborately trimmed.

Thoy givo one the unpleasant feeling that the roof is bursting out, and destroy entirely whatever graceful lines the roof might have. The dormers which Colonial builders placcdon theirhouses were, almost without exception, in good proportion. With all this good old work around us wo should not make mistakes such as this. , Interior Woodwork and Its Finish A GENERALLY, when wo think of the In terior woodwork of the house ue nre planning, we do not think of tho wood at all, but of the effect. We have In mind an Interior with all the woodwork white, or elso wo may like a silver gray or some still darker tone Then wo may even know whether we want a smooth or rough finish What concerns us, therefore, are Just what woods are best for these different effects and by what processes In a general way these effects are obtained. Since whlto seems to he tho favorite color, let us begin with It. Tho first thing to do Is to select the proper wood for a good smooth finish; second, to be sure your painter knows his business. In the first In stance, unless the proper choice Is made of the wood, no amount of good work on It will make It a good Job It should be a wood which has a close, even grain. Poplar Is tho best, white pine and spruce are good nnd North Carolina pine can bo used It remains for the painter to apply the proper number of coats of paint In the right way. Now, all tho other effects outside of paint ing aro gotten by staining the wood or leav ing It to show the natural color and grain. Stain allows the natural grain of the wood to appear and, besides. It accentuates the marking of the grain and Increases its beauty. At the same time the color can be made anything we please, and any shade wo please, from a silver gray to a very dark brown or black. It Is applied to the wood In such a way as to give either a smooth or a rough finish, or what is called a mission finish. Our first consideration Is, of course, to choose the wood which has tUe .kind of grain we like. The different woods from which we have a choice are oak, chestnut, ash, mahogany, walnut, birch, maple, cherry. North Carolina pine and cypress. Do not be persuaded to use gum. A story is told of a man who used cum for tho trim of his house. One night after he had the heat on for tho flist tlmo he came homo nnd found that the trim nround his windows nnd doors had curled off and rolled away. This Is probably a slight exaggera tion, but tt Is certain that gum will twlt and warp and shrink In a way that Is dis tinctly wicked The prlcos will hao something to do with our decision. They range from North Caro lina pine, which Is tho cheaper, up to the expensivo oak nnd mahogany. If wo wish a smooth finish, the only way this can bo obtained Is by first applying paste filler, rubbed on with a rag A liquid filler will not do the work A mission or rough finish Is obtained by merely apply ing tho stain to tho wood In the proper way A natural finish Is obtained by filling or painting tho wood with a transparent filler, nothing else being applied Thero Is much of Interest that could be said about tho different qualities of tho vari ous woods nnd exactly how the staining or painting should be done, but all this wo mUBt leave to some future occasion, when we have more tlmo nnd space Questions and Answers house be How malt can ft suburb to look wellT the ordinary V. E. 1! There Is hardly any limit. Looks do not depend on size. They depend rather on the design of tho house, and on the trees and flowers which surround It. M.

The hands, nose and scalp also require sanitary attention. Rub the scalp with the finger tips dipped In cold water twice a day. For the hands, use Osgood soap and rinse well with soft water. The bowels should move thoroughly three times a day, most naturally soon after each meal. Many pernons move the bowels soon after rising. Train the bowels by trying to move them on rising and after meals. Most people whose bowels move only once dally are suffering from intestinal autoin toxication.

The way to make the best of any situation is to make it better, and earnest effort is working solely along that line. Let's dig straight to the bottom and get hold of the facts. In our advertisement of May 28th we said: "The highways and byways of grocery buying are very intricate in these days of abnormally inflated values; but we're determined to make the goings easy as possible for the household purse." We've nothing to retract from 'that statement. The standard of value in The American Stores TO-DAY is the biggest dollar's worth for , every hundred pennies of price. To further that end we have lo-dag discontinued our delivery service a feature which never was a concerted part of the original chain -store plan; for the true conception was based on A CASH BUSINESS, with SMALL PROFITS -(oftentimes repeated), and distinctively NO DELIVERY SYS TEM. Like Topsy, it "just growed" and became a habit; and habit is the nur sery of many errors. It "growed" to such proportions that it sent in terrific bills, and we've been forced to throw it into the scrap - heap of THIN'GS DONE WRONG. i v Of course, the last person to encourage an innovation of this kind is the individual who is profiting by the old method. But, did you, Mrs. Housewife, ever really profit by having your goods sent home? Have you ever had "free" delivery which cost you nothing? Think it over there's no room in this proposition for unsound, over-fed reasoning. THE AMERICAN STORES come as near as can be to solving the perplexities of the hour; and no circum stances can arise to create conditions wherein people may buy Groceries (quality for quality) at lower prices than we ask. NO DELIVERY AND NO TELEPHONE CONNECTION; but don't drop the substance for the shadow. These goods and prices are sub stantial reasons WHY: Best Granulated Sugar, 7&clb. Fresh Creamery Buttcr,40clb.
