Women Barhers.

II you ever happen to notice one Of
the barber shops conducted by women
Of which there are a dozen or more
scattered over town, you will find the
same spirit of daintiness asserting itself
which makes the undertaking establish
ment seem almost cheerful. This is
particularly true of shops owned and
managed by women, but it is not so
noticeable in the cases of mems shops
IN which women are employed. Mrs.
Marshal has a shop of her own on Cot
tage Grove avenue. There are some
flowers in the window and a Powered
sash curtain across it. There are pic
lures on the walls and there is a glow
Ing baseburner instead of the dull can
non stove to be found in most of the
smaller shops.

this way for ten years. said Mrs. Mar
shall. 1T is Il kind of work that a wo-

and the number of women who are
learning the trade is increasing"
Mrs. Marshall has a woman assistant
and both Of them are kept busy. Most
Of my customers are men," she said,

A Vermont farmer, who kept close
account of everything he expended,
and also the cost of what he grew,
found that he could produce butter at
Is IL cents per pound. 1t is just such
a calculation as every farmer ought to
make with regard to his dairy. Then
he could know whether he was making
his farming pay. 1t will also show
him the weak places in his manage
ment and enable him to remedy them.
There is altogether too much routine
work in farming. 1t is this that stands
in the way Of progress.
The farmer that gets into a rut, and
therefore cannot change is reasonably
certain to go under the mire if he con-
tinues in the business long enough. 1t
requires active thinking to euable a
farmer to change the character of his
farming so as to adapt it to changed
conditions, but it is the necessity which
all farmers in these days must be pre-
pared to meet.

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion 20
Hs1d in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horsepower engine is made
to do ten horsepower work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will bolt ~ his food in a few mill
utes which will take hours to digest. 7 ,
too, many foods are about as useful i'll
stomach as a key of nails would be il. Il
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood;
finally the ill-used brain is n%lorbidly wide
awake when the eoverworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy mas: the ful! en-
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to

Heating the Poultry nou.c

Artificial heat in the poultry house
causes the hens to take cold when
they go outside; but the suggestion Civ
en- by us last year might be mentioned
again for the benefit of some who
may not have noticed it. 1t is TO hang
4 lighted stable lantern in the poultry
house on very cold nights. IL will not
create much heat. but will raise the
temperature sufficiently to dry the in
terror and make the hens moro. com

however, to suspend the Ian "rn by the
