Women Who Wear Well

1t is astonishing how great a change few
years of married life will make in the ap-
pearance anc disposition of many women
The freshness, the charm, the brilllance
vanish like the bloom from peach which
rudely handled. The matron is only dim
shadow, a faint echo of the charming maid
en-. There are two reasons for this change,
ignorance and neglect. Few young women
appreciate the shock to the system through
the change which comes with marriage.
Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant
drains which are often consequent on mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form Of its fairness.
As surely as the general health suffers when
there is arrangement of the health of the
delicate womanly organs, so surely when
these organs are established in health the
face and form at once witness to the fact in
renewed comliness. Half a million women
and more have found health and happiness

KEEPING ROADS SMOOTH.
try Is the Frequent Inspection
of Public Highways.

1t is more convenient to look after
earth roads in spring and fall, but do
not allow them to take care of them
selves for the remainder of the year.
The greatest common road need in the
United States is frequent inspection.
If this is given daily, no extensive re-
pairs will be necessary, and instead of
a road becoming worse, it will improve
from day to day.
The road should be carefully leveled
at all times with drag, smoothing
harrow or any instrument that will
fill up the ruts, level down elevations
and keep the road so that water will
run off readily as soon as it falls. The
best method of doing this must be de-
cided upon by each locality. In some
places the road grader is used with the
best results. The great difficulty has
been that sufficient road graders are
not available to keep all the roads in
any particular section in the best of
condition. Drags so constructed as
to level the road and draw the earth
near the middle are very satisfactory
and are not at all expensive Any
farmer can make them for himself.
1t is very important to prevent water
standing on the surface, but it is
equally important to see that it is also
removed from bitches alongside the
road This can sometimes be accom-
plished by having good open drains,
but in most cases these should be sup
plemented by tile. Just where to place
the tile is frequently problem. In
the comparatively level sections of the
central west, tile in the bottom of
the ditch at either side of the road is
probably all that is necessary.
If the land inclines to wash badly.
this tile should not be placed in the
bottom of be ditch, for it will soon be-
come uncovered and ineffective. Place
| it either nearer the road or between the
ditch and the road fence. The depth
for the tile and the size to be used will
all depend upon the amount of water
to be removed, the character of the soil,
etc. Where the tile is very carefully
laid, one inch of fall to the 100 feet is
uffeient.-Orange Judd Farmer.

LAKES ALWAYS FROZEN.
Two Such In Oregon. Where There Is
Perpetual Skating

T! Two lakes covered with ice at all
| times of the year have been dis
covered in Baker county. G. Nj. Sage
of Portland, on June p. crossed two
good-sized lakes i'll the Granite Noun
tains, some miles northeast of Cornu-
copia, on hard frozen ice.
Mr.. Sage. with a ra1ty of friends,
went on hunting and pleasure trip
to the almost Inaccessible mountain
peaks back of the town of COrnucopia,
in the Panhandle district. The noun.
tains are high and rugged and before
passing the timber line the explorer
must find his way through a primeval
forest. A pack horse is the only means
of getting into this district, except to
trudge along on foot, which, to say the
least, is uphill business. One part of
the road Is SO encountered with fallen
trees that it is almost impossible to get
through. In order to get supplies to
their claims two prospectors were

tangle of fallen trees. and it was by
means of this trail that Mr.. Sage and
his friends were enabled to ascend the
mountains until they finally discovered
the two frozen lakes referred to. The
lakes are near the summit on the north
side of the mountain. and in order to
reach them the party travelled over ice
and snow for distance of five miles.
The bodies of water are small. One
is about $50 feet across and the other
is between 900 and 700 feet in diameter.
They are we'll defined lakes or pools,
however, covered with q thick coating
of ice, clear as crystal and as smooth
as glass, which is so thick and strong
that the exploring party did not hesi
tate to ride across On horseback.
Mr. Sage says. so far as he is able to
judge. the ice on the lakes never melts,
because they are so situated behind
two tall peaks that the suns rays
never strike them with sufficient pow
er to make any impression on the snow
and ice. This land of perpetual snow
and ice is within days. ride of Baker
City by the present means of transpor-
tation, part way on buck board and the
rest on horseback. It would scarcely
be more than ride of an hour and
half on an electric railroad. Mr.. Sage
is of the opinion that from the lay CT
the country other larger and more pic
turesque lakes with perpetual ice are
in the neighborhood. Ore

ROLLING EARTH ROADS.
Department of Agriculture Points
Out the Im mportance of the Free
Use of the Roller.

Where earth roads are to be cared

lnent. This is pointed out by NJ. O.
Eldridge in recent bulletin issued
by the departments of agriculture.

earth is composed of small frag-

AN IDEAL ROLLED ROAD.


1t the earth is left loose, wheels will
cut in and result in ridges and fur
rows which will hold water and re-
suit in sticky, muddy surface in
winter weather and a dusty one in
dry weather. If the surface is gone
over with a heavy roller, it can usual
ly be made sufficiently firm to sustain
teams without deep rutting and to
resist in large measure the pene-
trating power of the water. Such
work should be done when the soil
is in a plastic state. so that it will
pack readily. The moist particles are
pressed together and the road is put
in good condition for Immediate

result, the earth will absorb almost
an equal portion of water.
In building or maintaining roads,
it is therefore desirable that these
small particles be pressed and packed
into as small a space as possible. in
order that surplus water may not
pass in and destroy the stability of
the road. To this end, rolling is very
beneficial. The work of maintaining
earth roads will be greatly lessened
by the proper use of the roller.
After additional matter has been
placed on the surface of the road, it
should be carefully rolled and not
allowed to wash off into the ditch.

When planted in the fall, all trees
should be banked up at least one foot
high until spring. This overcomes the
tendency of the trees to heave out,
protects them from mice and prevents
the roots from freezing before they
have taken hold of the soil. In plant
ling roses, shrubs, vines, and other DEL
icate stock in the fall, the tops should
be nearly or quite buried with mellow
