Thanksgiving Day.

That happy day is araWh@ close When erring boys who roam The land from Maine 10 Mexico Will long again for home. No matter wtat q n.an may be, A "Yank." or from the south The thought of turkey baking brown Brings water to h : month. I've rambled east aa.I raa 5led west, But fl occurs 10 me That turkeys just as sool in Maine As 'tis in Tennessee. When mother spreads the table oHt And We begin to dine, We don't care who's the president The turkey tastes so fine. We thank the Lord we're alive; We thank Him for he day When we can eat our fill without A doctors bill to pay.
  We eat the Die that mother brings, And douehnuts by the score; We simply eat the turkey up And Wish'd there been some more. We re thankful to the blessed Lord For good Thanksgiving Day; But some of us, if We but dared, Would humbly to him pray TO change this great and goodly feast For 'tis exceeding clear That we would have Thanksolvlns

CURTAINS AND DRApERIEs.

For inner draperieS or portieres in
the library, drawing room or dining
room are, first in aticle effect, the
flax-cloth, coarse weave similar to
burlap, but much more pliable, says
Harper's Bazaar. The reps of differ
ent qualities, cotton, wool and silk
alike, all hang with peculiar soft
ness and grace. There are fascinat-
ing weaves and colors in the cotton
tapestries, those in the rich dull
greens, blues and browns, and some
unusually attractive ones in simple
geometrical old English and Italian
designs.
There are some striking designs
in dark, rich colors in liberty Gre
tonnes and linen taffetas which
would be extremely effective in a
library or dining room combined with
plain or self-toned paper. One in
dull peacock tones and golden browns
would be fascinating combined with
green walls.
The beauties of silks and velvets
as hangings need only to be touched
upon. Most of them are beyond the
reach of an ordinary income. The
liberty and raw silks do not, however,
come under this ban, and very beauti-
full effects may be brought about
with them. Their softness and trans
parency lend themselves readily to
all demands, and the liberty silk has
the added virtue of being washable.
A drapery of blue and white In
dian cotton, a material resembling
the well known blue and white work
of the arts and crafts in effect, is fas-
cinating combined with an old-blue
self-toned paper. Used in a dining
room with blue and white china and
blue and white rugs, wonderfully
attractive result is obtained. The
Java and Jaypore printed cottons are
darker and more oriental in effect.
A Java cotton in dull dark green and
a touch of red on a tan ground COM
bines well with lighter green wall,
while those in bright scarlets add a
touch Of brilliancy to a room in forest
green.
Dainty colored muslins are very

AT sEED-sUYENG TIME.

It Is estimated that if the corn cpp
Of the country could be increased ten
per cent it would add to the produc-
ton OF wealth in the United States
over seventy millions of dollars.
That the corn crop can be increased
this small per cent is well known,
for it requires only the selection of
the best seed and the best methods
of cultivation to do it. The trouble
is, corn is too easily grown and the
crop is usually large enough so that
there are enough kernels left in the
crib for seed. So the average far
mer argues, why should pay out
good money for seed corn when there
is more than need in my own crib?"
He forgets that the seed corn in his
cribs may be the kernels dropped
from nubbins and if so they will pro-
duce nubbins.
The tendency to pay out as little
as possible for seeds is wrong. 1t is
safe to say that in normal season
one would make more clean cash
from crops grown from the best seed
sold regardless of price than from
double the quantity Of what may be
called cheap seeds. If you don't be-
lieve in the value-of the best seeds,
test them in small way. Take, for
example, a few seed tubers from the
potato pile in the cellar, then buy
from some reputable scotsman the
same quantity of the same variety,
cut the seed in the same way, plant
at the same time and give the same
care and cultivation. At harvest time
compare results and If you do not
find the argument in favor of hign-
class seed solid one we'll take 1t
all back.-Indianapoli News.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade" says:
Business broadens in a wholesome
manner, an the most encouraging indi-
cation regarding the future is the scarcity
of labor disputes.
Jobbers have experienced good spring
trade, and manufacturers are now re-
ceiving large contracts for fall shipment,
while retail sales are of satisfactory vol
umne, except at few points where in
clement weather has temporarily retard-
ed distribution.
Activity at the interior is evidenced by
the increased transfers thither of silver
dollars and subsidiary silver by the
Treasury, crop prospects being well main
tanned despite excessive cold in few
sections.
Railway traffic continues very heavy,
earnings for April thus far exceeding the
same period last year by 1917 per cent.
Current conditions and prospects for
the future are both extremely satisfac-
tory in the iron and steel industry. Sew
eral new plants have been completed and
others repaired and put in operation, so
it is undoubtedly the fact that current
production of iron and steel is constant
ly establishing new high records.
Strength is still conspicuous in the
hide situation, large tanners purchasing
more freely. Leather is also more ae-
tive.
Failures this week numbered 2o4 in the
United States, against 2o2 last year,
and IS in Canada, compared with I6
year ago.

SOWING FERTILIZERS ON GRAS.
LAND.

1t should be done early in the sea-
son, while there is plenty of moisture
in the soil to render the materials
soluble and Of use as plant food. The
fertilizers best adapted to grass seem
to do better on land that is little
moist rather than on dry ground.
Apply while there Is good seeding
of grass or sward, otherwise the land
should be plowed, devoted to other
crops and again reseeded. With
these conditions small amount ap-
piled each spring will produce very
satisfactory returns.
Several years since the writer Sc
lected a field of several acres, sec
ond or third year from seeding, with
a good sward, and sowed thereon
only one hundred pounds of stand
ard fertilizer to the acre.
1t was a hard-pan soil and a little
moist. There was large crop of
hay, estimated at one-half a ton ex-
ira for the hundred pounds of ferti-
lizer.
The next spring the same amount
was again sown with like results,
and this practice was continued for
four years, when 1t became necessary
to pillow. devote to other crops and
seed again to grass. The experience
seemed remarkable, and convinced
the writer that it is often better to
apply small amount of available
fertilizer of any kind every year
rather than much more all at one
time.-E. R. Towle in Massachusetts,

DON'T BE TOO KNOWING.


When a girl arrives at the advanc-
ed age of Is she very often likes to
pose as a worldly wise, experienced
woman.
She likes to pretend that nothing
can shock her, and sometimes laughs
at a story. the point of which she for
tunately does not see, merely so that
people will not think her too young
and green"
She does not appreciate for one
moment that the very woman whose
age and experience she is envying
and emulating is busily engaged in
envying her youth and inexperience.
Young girls can never realize that
they are the recipients of beautiful
Difference that can only come to them
once in life.
It is the Difference and worship
that all mankind feels for youth and
innocence.
Dear little girls, don't try to be
worldly wise and blase. for both
those qualities come through olsen
chantment and disillusionment.
Men do not turn to young girls for
worldly wisdom. They can find that
in older women.
What attracts them in young girl
Is her youth, ingenuousness and en-
thusiasm.
Don't disdain your youth. That
will be the easiest of all your assets
to get rid of.
Pick up as much information as
you can, but let it be the kind OF
information that will benefit you all
your life.
At your age your business is to
learn, not to teach.
Make the most of every moment.
Laugh and be merry" tears await
you in plenty for into each life some
rain must fall"
Await them with brave face and
heart. but don't go to meet them.
When is woman at her best?" is
question very often asked.
It Is a difficult question to answer,
for every age has its compensations,
but If it were when is woman at
her sweetest" many would say be-
tween II and %.
The charm of ner girlhood is still
about her; the glory of her woman
hood is shedding its first radiance.
And that is the age, girls. which so
many Of you are trying to skip.
Experiences, both bitter and sweet,
are bound to come, and from them
you will gain the wisdom which will
fit you for your life work.
You are too young to be burdened
with the bitter as yet, and without
them the house of experience would
be built upon Washington
Times.

USEFUL HINTS.

In roasting pork sour apples are
sometimes baked with the meat like
potatoes. They should be placed on
a wire rack to keep them out of the
fat. The apples are served with the
roast and take the place of apple
sauce.
To keep spoon in position when
DESTROYS of dropping medicine into
it, and requiring both hands to hold
the bottle and cork, place the handle
between the leaves of a closed book
lying upon a table.
Silver spoons and forks which are
in daily use may be kept bright by
leaving them once a week in strong
borax water for several hours. The
water should be nearly boiling when
the silver is put into it.
Lime water will sweeten jars and
Jugs which soap and water fail to
cleanse. 1t is admirable for cleans
ing milk vessels and nursing bottles.
With. boiled salmon, cream sauce,
plain boiled rice is very good. Many
prefer it to potato. There really is
no reason why any vegetable should
be served with the FISH course. Its
sauce is quite sufficient. Still the
average taste demands scrap OF
potato, or sometimes with sole, a
bit of creamed spinach.
A good cement for mending glass
is made by boiling isinglass in spirits
of wine. al
Try a few drops of spirits OF tur
pentine on a cube of loaf sugar for
hacking cough.
Tea leaves moistened with vinegar
will remove the discoloration in glass
caused by flowers.
A half-hour's sleep after dinner is,
to many women, worth two hours
sleep in the morning.

FERTILITY OF EGGS.

The question of fertIIlty should be
of more importance than how to get
eggs, especially at this time of the
year. There are few farmers that
separate the breeding stock from the
flock. but it is certainly best to do
SO If one is DESTROYS of good results.
It is now time to- select the fowls
which you expect to furnish eggs for
the early matches. 1t should not be
treated as a light matter for upon
this point much of your success may
depend. If you have fowls that have
been sick or dropping during the fall
and winter do not use them for It
would certainly have bad effect,
even if they are well, seemingly.
After the stock is selected. see to It
that they are we'll fed and cared for.
Starved stock never did much good
in reproduction, we cannot expect
strong, healthy chicks from a flock
of this kind. Do not neglect to feed
foods rich in lime for these help to
make the shell and furnish material
in the egg to make the bones of the
little down birds. Meat and the va
rious grains will supply flesh. Keep
the drinking vessels well filled with
water. which is the necessity for a

PRETTY HANDS.

Women who are afraid to wash
their hands for fear of making them
chap can Guiet their fears. Soap and
water never yet injured pair of
hands; but there are ways and ways
of washing the hands, and particular
ly in the winter.
Take warm water, and let it be
soft, add teaspoonful of borax pow
der to the water to soften it. and
still more if necessary. Now take
good soap and wash the hands well.
Next rinse them, and when the hands
are perfectly free from soap dry them
perfectly, then rub little skin food
into them. Mems hands do not chap
in winter because they wear thick
gloves, so that their hands are not
subjected to the extremes of heat and
cold.
Women who are addicted to the
reprehensible habit of biting their
finger nails will find remedy In
keeping them polished. The nails.
If very highly polished, feel brittle TO
the teeth, and there is not the same
disposition to bite them. Women
will not bite highly manicured nails.
1t is said that polish for the nails
is going out of fashion. but still one
sees it, for there is something very
attractive about the gloss, certain
dainty finish which cannot be OBJ
tanned in any other manner. Polish
ing the nails with the palm of the
hand gives good results. Put little
polishing powder in one palm. rub the
nails vigorously, and then polish
them. This gives a deeper. pinker
flush than the ordinary polisher, and
is preferable.-Newark Advertiser.

ate but beautiful in the extreme.
They display yards and yards of real

accompanied by tucks and few
shirrs.
1t seems as if hats were getting too
young looking" in fact, more so
every year, and this year carries out
the idea to an astonishing degree.
Matrons are wearing hats which sew
eral years ago were donned by young
girls.
Pongee in all colors is now being
turned out, and many handsome
frocks are fashionable when made of
this serviceable material. Trim
mings and imported applique are to
be had in all OF the shades.
Hail again the advent of the white
duck suit! 1t will be feature of
the summer wardrobe.
The novelties offered in the belt
line are attractive. One is prettier
than the other and their colorings
are all that could be desired to cor
respond with the summer frocks.
The lowered nets are becoming
quite a fad. They are being made
up over taffeta and lined with the
same colored chiffon.
Many batiste berthas will be used
to transform some of the plain, left
over frocks of last summer.
