Setting CoIors in Fabrics.

1t is impossible to tell whether a color
is fast before washing, but by far the
safest plan is to set" the color before
it goes to the tub for the first time One
of the best methods of settling delicate
colors consists in simply making a
strong brine of cold water and salt and
soaking the garment from II to "a hours.
OF course this should be done just before
going to the laundry, and the salt should
not be allowed to dry in it. This is es-
pecialfy good for all shades of pink and
green, and colors once set this way will
be bright as long as it would be possible
TO expect it. A strong solution of alum
and water is good. particularly with
blue, and the more delicate shades of
brown, but its effect is not so lasting as
that of salt and it is sometimes neces-
sary to renew the bath after the first
three or four washings. Some people
recommend solutions of lead and cop
peras, but as both of these are poisonous
drugs, 1t is better to avoid them.-Chi-
cago Daily News.

DAIRY CROP ROTATION.
System which Assures the Comfort
able Keeping of 40 Cows on
Go Acres of Land.

Recently, in referring to very pro-
ductive section of Wisconsin, Hoards
Dairyman said that IS acres of good
tillable land would annually support 40
cows for dairy purposes. A correspond
ent from Ohio asked for rotation of
crops to adopt for this work in connec-
ton with corn, and the provisions for
pasture, to which the Dairyman replied
as follows:
There is probably just as good land
in Ohio, but we are not sufficiently ac-
quainted with Ohio conditions to justify
a similar statement for every farm in
that state Given good land in Ohio, or
elsewhere, we should depend very
largely upon corn and alfalfa as the
main crops, and devote very little acre
age to pasture. We should expect to
raise corn enough to fill silos and have
considerable left over for cribbing. We
should aim to keep a goodly number of
hogs to take the skim milk to good adj
vantage, and expect to use the money
received for hogs in purchasing feed for
the cows and other hogs. Alfalfa has
not been recommended for short rota-
ton and we should therefore wait until
more is learned about alfalfa, expect
to grow some common clover, and, pos
sibly, wheat, oats and barley. These,
however, are questions that can only be
fully answered when one is entirely
conversant with the soil, climate and
markets"

MORE BEAUTY DON'TS.
Secrets of Having ShapeIy and Pretty
Nails and Soft and Delicate
Fingers.

Don't over-manicure the hands, or
they will become so tender as to be cas-
lily Redeemed and roughened.
Don't wash the hands ofteIer than
necessary, and dry them thoroughly aft
er every washing.
Don't neglect the palms of the hands
They need attention as much as the
backs of the hands. Rub an emollient
-perfumed honey is good-into the
palms with thumb and forefnger.
Don't neglect massaging and knead-
ing of the hands in order to secure good
circulation, which helps to keep the
hands white and make the skin plant.
Don't forget to pinch the ends of the
fingers now and then. This will do
a good deal toward making the fingers
taper.
Don't polish the nails too highly, or
they become so brittle that the slightest
contact with anything hard breaks them
down to the quick, thereby causing in
tense pain.
Don't file or scrape the nails; either
process only helps to thicken them.
They should be rubbed down with the
very fine emery and cinnabar powder,
which is used for polishing shell and
ivory.
Don't allow the nails to remain long
soiled with anything that will stain
them.
Don't always use nail polisher or
buffer. Once In awhile try polishing
the nails on the palm of the hand.
Don't trim the nails to sharp points.
If there is anything that will set the
teeth on edge it is to shake hands and
feed a slight Craze from such claws
1t is feline.
Don't always use scissors to trim the
nails a file is better to round off the
edges. Nothing tends to injure the
nails so much as persistent trimming
with a pair of scissors.
Don't think that one rule applies to all
finger nails. No two sets of nails can
be treated quite alike, not alone because
of their texture, but of their formation.
| To trim some nails overmuch renders
them thick and ugly. To leave others
| too long uncut increases their tendency
to brittleness.
Don't wear rings that are too small.
The inevitable result is Disagreement
from red and swollen hands and knuck-
les.
Don't wear gloves stitched with COL
ors. They make the hands look larger.
Don't wear gloves that are a size too
small or that fasten too tightly. This
prevents free circulation and makes the
hands red.
Don't think the appearance of the
hands tri1ing consideration. A beau
tiful hand may be even more fascinating
than a beautiful face, and nothing more
strongly marks the person of birth and
breeding. -Washington Star.

SMALL WAIST CRAZE.


Since it has been decTeed that the
shall-waisted, short-hipped ngure is
the only one acknowledged by fash
ion, the necessity for tight-lacing, writes
a lady correspondent, has become imper-
alive. Corsets are wOrn-often at night
as well as all day-which press the
waist line in and down to the hips, so
that, instead of showing a long, slight
curve, they may be forced into short,
round curves. Women who wear these
corsets live in kind of torture, and
the pressure in time sets up serious in
ternal complications, including heart
disease and lung trouble.
To such an extent has the evil grown,
it may be mentioned, that at certain IA
nous modistes orders for gowns from
ladies whose waist measurements are
over % inches are delicately, but firm
ly declined.
I'VE dare not risk our reputation by
gowning any but the most fashionable
women" explained the principal recent
ly land no woman with a large waist
can look we'll in frock designed for one
who has cultivated the short-hip figure.
So If a customer comes to us wearing
the old-fashioned style of corset, and
does not seem inclined to conform to
newer ideas, she must go elsewhere for
her gowns.
I'VE have heaps of customers whose
measurements are three and four inches
smaller than they were last year, and in
almost every case this is due to the
tight. facing demanded to acquire the
new figure. Quite young girls are the
worst offenders, and am quite sure we
have not made gown this season for a
debutante whose waist measurement
exceeded 20 inches"
Until women are brave enough to defy
fashion the evil will doubtless grow in
stead of lessen, and the practice will con-
tinue to add appreciably to the death
roll and fill the incurable hospitals with
women who have ruined themselves for
the sake of small waist-Cincinnati

SPACE FOR ICE.
CONVENIENT STORE ROOM.

built on a side hill, the store room I'M
der the ice house, and gives herewith
rough drawing of the end of the
building. The building has double
floor. One for the ice to rest upon,
which was loose enough for the drip
pings to work through and run off the
second floor, which was watertight and
on slant, as shown by line B, and
conducted the water away from the
building through a spout made like
an eavestrough, as shown in line c.
The porch on the corner, A, is the
entrance, and that part of it is a
storm door-there being two other
doors and walls before getting into
the storage room proper. This makes
it more easy to go in and out of it
without affecting the temperature of
the room. The building has a double
roof, and the ends are provided with
large windows just below the roof that
give vent to the chamber above the ice,
and the double roof protects it from
the sun. The store room has plenty of
light, it being we'll supplied with win
dows But for fear you may get a
wrong idea of this l will state that
they are three deep, that is, three sash
each containing two thicknesses of
glass, making in all six panes Of
glass and four air spaces between the
outside and the inside of the room.
With ice in the building, the lower
room does not vary much in tempera-
ture any time during the summer, al
ways remaining about 40 degrees above
zero. With this kind of ice house one
can keep butter almost as well as it
is kept in cold storage plants.-E. F.

Sabra, Montana, Oct. l9th.-A great
many men in this neighborhood used to
complain of pains in the back, but now
scarcely one can be found who has any
such trouble.
Mr.. Gottlieb Mill is largely responsible
for the improvement, for it was he who
first of ali found the remedy for this
Backache. He has recommended it to all
his friends and neighbors, and in every
case it has had wonderful success.
Mr.. Mill says:-
For many years | had been troubled
with my Kidneys and pains in the small
of my back. | tried many medicines but
did not derive any benefit until last fall
when | bought a dozen boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills. After using them a few
days | began to improve, my back quit
aching, and L felt better and stronger al
around.
Al will keep them in the house right
along, for in my opinion they are the best
medicine in the market to-day, and if my
back should bother me again, | will use
nothing else"

Il had tried everything to make my
little one sleepy at the right time" said
one of the progressive mothers, "and all
to no avail. He simply would not sleep
when l put him to bed. had to forbid
the 'romp with papa after dinner, be-
cause it seemed to wake the boy up so
thoroughly. l tried rubbing his feet
and putting hot water bag in the bed
on cold nights. tried feeding him just
before taking off his clothes. Nothing
had any effect on his excited nerves.
Then the doctor suggested a remedy that
worked like a charm. Taking off Jack s
clothes, l sponged off his spine in hot
water, beginning at the neck and pass
ing down slowly and gently, and so
over and over again. l kept the wa
ter as hot as could be borne, and con-
tinued the treatment until the skin was
red Then the back was dried gently
and the child put into bed. Either the
gentle downward stroke or the hot wa
ter had a soothing effect on the nerves.
Anyway, sleep was sure to follow. A
week or two of this treatment will usu-
ally effect permanent cure. Chicago

DAIRY STORAGE ROOM.
to Hold Butter md Cheese for
Higher Prices.

Many farms are not provided with
the right kind of dairy building, and
when one undertakes to store butter
for future sales they may have d
take an inferior price for it. l was
in a cellar the other day where the
woman of the house had several hun
dred pounds stored, and to me the
room smelled damp and musty. The
chances are that this butter will smell
of this must when it is put on the
market. If it does, insteal of her re-
ceiving the very highest fancy price
she will have to take what she can
get for it.

One Won. the Other Lo.t.

A few days ago two farmers came to
town and both brought butter for sale.
One of the farmers had his product
pressed into neat, compact half-pound
packages, and he readily sold 1t at rs
cents a pound. He said that he could
not meet the demand for his butter.
The other had his butter in a bucket,
and it looked soft and watery. After
tramping around town from place to
place trying to sell, he gave up in dis
gust, and said it was no use to bring
butter to town to sell, as nobody
would buy it.-Rural World.

In the old country according to his ex'

around loose. II it Is and some one
takes 1t the joke is more on the owner
than would be the case In this country.
The law is the guard in this country and
Legner thinks be has learned this lesson
pretty thoroughly.
