HEALTH WILL BE IMPROVED Dr. Daniels Approves Civic Improvement Campaign I Two benefits of the Civic Im I provement Campaign being conducted by the Decatur Junior ] Chamber of Commerce were stress■ed today by Dr. R. E. Daniels, secretary of the city board of ] health. “The elimination of breeding places of insects and rodents will effectively reduce the possibilities iof disease.” Dr. Daniels stated. "Cleaning up, improving and replacing our surrounding will better our mental hygiene, making us ’ less susceptible to disease,” he ] continued. Uncovered garbage cans, open ] refuse piles and other breeding : places of insect carriers of disease I were strongly condemned by Dr. I Daniels. He endorsed the project now under way to kill rats. Dr. Daniels stated that trash pil- . es containing opened tin cans are | breeding places of mosquitos and 1 should be removed. The cooperation with city trucks, which will remove tin cans and I rubbish free of charge during the j week of May 10 to 15 was approved by Dr. Daniels, who stated this will be an effective way to accom- ; plish the cleaning-up of the city ! in one concerted drive. o CRETONNE FOUND MOST PRACTICAL 4 Material Is Well Adapted To Small Homes, Apartments — For the average small house and : I city apartment, cretonne is prob-, I ably the most practical and best i ] material to use for Spring drapes. ] Every hue and pattern is availablei , now at moderate prices and ere-i ] tonne is without doubt the easiest i , fabric to handle and use effective-| ly. There was a time when cretonne was confined to the bedrom t but today it is used in practically every room in the home. Brocades damasks and velvets have given way, even for year round use, to the lighter and more serviceable fabrics suqh as reps, poplins and light silks. Draperies should be chosen to emphasize or complement the dominant color of the room. When figured and patterned materials are used, care should be taken that the other colors and shades bear out the complementary colors of the dominant tone.

I "Rooms” Outdoors Lawns and gardens may be lit-' erally transformed into extra “rooms" with the aid of colorful outdoor furnishings . . . and dazz- 1 ling colors there are aplenty, although many people are showing] a strong preference for white fori both metals and upholstery. Other] popular upholstery colors are mill-! berry, blue, green, egg plant and yellow. Chrome and wrought iron vie for first place among construction materials with many novel designs and trick features embodied in the new items of both materials. Gliders have undergone many drastic changes not only in appearance but in comfort qualities as well. The metal furniture is available in a score or more different] colors and shades. Most models | are canopied with adjustable tops] which can be set to shade the sun from whatever angle it shines. Seats are also adjustable to a number of lounging models, including canopied one and two seaters, are equipped with adjustable backs [which permit the occupant to sun [bathe or lounge at a full horizon- '] tai position, depending upon your ! whim at the moment.

A woman declared that she ex- ] pected her new automatic gas range to save her work and money, but was amazed when it actually ; improved on the "perfect cooking results" her 15-year-old gas range had always given. The automatic oven heat control of modern gas ranges gives you | flakier pie cruet, fluffier cakes, as- | sures baking success.

To this first class belongs the I Hydrangeas These shrubs may be | pruned during the winter or in ' early spring; if pruned in the sum-' tner many of the blossom buds would he destroyed. With the second class, the shrubs thut bloom in spring or early summer all cutting should be avoided until after the blooming period. o — Revival, Nazarene Church, Corner 7th and Marshall Sts.

INSULATION IS HELP IN HOMES WeH-CoftstrHcteel Walls A<H Much Th Cemfert 04' Memos One of the objectives of current research by engineers of the United States Department of Agriculture is farm house comforts, with 1 , warmth in winter and coolness in summer.

reasons for inefficient heating. Varying temperatures were found In farmhouses studied In summer, depending on the room arrangement, exposure and habits of occupants. The greatest objection was to discomfort In the sleeping rooms during periods of extreme heat, especially in second floor bedrooms. In general, room temperatures averaged even higher than outside temperatures. Air in unfinished attics was ti to 12 degrees warmer than outside air. By proper insulation more comfort may be obtained both in winter and in summer. Da cold days un-iterm, comfortable temperatures are obtained at minimum expense and effort if the house is properly insulated. On summer days, insulation helps to keep the rooms, both upstairs and down, comparatively cool and comfortable. The cost of insulating Is but a small proportion of the total cost of the house and the resulting additional comfort and fuel saving are considerable. The United States Bureau of Standards shows that the yearly saving of fuel from insulating the ordinary dwelling is 20 to 30 per cent from adding a half-inch layer of insulation and from 30 to 40 per cent from adding an inch. o Trade In a Good Town — Decatur
