mountains and Toms run to the Ief- Iowstone. There are bills for guns and tennis rackets, tennis shoes and golf outfits. It is not strange if the man wonders if 1t pays and if his children would not be just as we'll on if they were put up against self-denial and the steady grind that has always been the part of their father; that made his hair gray at 85 and gave him a stoop at 50. Does 1t pay? The question Is almost sacrilegious. The world is changing fast, for 1t Is learning to de mand health and pleasure and recrea- ton. It says that its old men must re- main young and that white hair and tottering footsteps must be reserved for the end of the game. Father and son play golf together and hunt from the same canoe. Mother thrills with pride at the remark Tt doesn't seem possible that you have a daughter grown up" Sound bodies and robust health are the demand of these days of strenuous competition. They are gained by more liberty, more fresh afr, more half holidays and more sane liv- ing. The money invested in play spells Is well invested. Because your father bore down on you with his iron disci- pline is no reason why you should for get the youth of your children. Let's have more life, more golf, more sun shine, more knowledge of health. The man who gives his sons and his daugh- tcrs more than he had himself, if he gives it wisely. is not only a home philanthropist but loving father who has realized the true method of secur- ing happiness.

Probably 1t is true, as the com nlander of the department of the lakes declares, that assertions from the army will continue as long as public senti- ment favors the deserter. People do not like to appear In the role of the informer and military deserters are consequently undisturbed in the ma jority of cases. There is, however, a cause for these assertions, and 1t is a cause that has no effective remedy. Young Americans desert from the army in time of peace because they tire of the monotony of garrison duty, of drill and of the endless and unvary- ing routine of soldiers life when no fighting is going on or in prospect. This Is the cause for assertions not only from the army but from the navy. Young men are attracted by the su- perfclal glitter and excitement of sol diering or sailoring and they enlist to find that playing soldier is the most dreary task In the world. Then they desert. Most of the talk about hard ships endured and of tyrannies prac- ticed by officers is utter humbug. The real truth Is that Young America, though he is a fighter by instinct and inheritance, is not Sunday soldier" :" He is quick to volunteer when there is a prospect of active service, but he is not to be depended upon to endure the ordeal of military discipline in time of peace. So that Assertions are likely to continue and in so far as they mani fest a spirit of American independence they are not altogether discouraging symptom of national life. We may be sure that the young men who are de- sertng nowadays would flock to the colors if there was a chance of smell ing gunpowder in something else than target practice. This. however, con stitutes no defense of desertion, which is the unpardonable military crime. Deserters should be punished In fash ion to discourage desertion. Other con- alterations aside, young men who en- ter the army should be taught to keep their contract with the government

The cut shows the plan of barn, which combines capacity with cheap ness. The upright supports may be either 4x6 posts, or round poles, and where large flat stones are not avail able may be set in holes with concrete In the bottom and all around the posts well up and beveled at top, so as to shed the water. The barn Is 42 feet wide by any desired length, the side posts to be set 8 feet apart. On ac- count of the double angle of the roof purllne posts are not required. As there are no timbers in the center there is plenty of room for hay.

How to Reduce Flesh.

Avoid all starchy and sweetened food, all cereals, vegetables containing sugar or starch, such as peas, beans, corn, potatoes. etc. Have your bread toasted, sprinkle it with salt, instead of butter. Hot water is an excellent substitute for other liquids. Add . little of the juice of Hines or lemons to it, if you choose. Limit your sleeping hours to seven at the outside. No maps. You must take exercise. Walk at least five miles. In reducing flesh the one fact to recollect Is that fat is

And never tell. Kate Thyson Marr.

To say that skirts are short Is super fiuous, for no well frocked woman would think nowadays of being seen in the street with gown specially for outdoors with a skirt touching. An inch and half from the ground is the length decreed by smartest tailors.
 There will he no reason for wom- ans not having hackabout tailor suit that is becoming this autumn. for ad- vance models show such wide range of styles that all figures should be suited. To say that any particular kind is not smart is impossible as long as the sleeves conform to the one ironclad rule that they shall be large at the top and small at the wrist, a leg O mutton in some modification or another. After that any lines one pre- fers may be followed and the indi- vidual figure be considered to appear at its best.
 Black lace coats are to be very smart next winter. and are also worn now with black chiffon gowns. The chiffon and lace combine extremely well, and often when it is desired to have a sharp contrast the fashion is to wear a white lace coat with black skirt. A bolero of white lace on a black dress, if woman has good enough figure to carry 1t off well. is always smart and effective. but if the figure is not all that may be desired, then it is just as well to have the lace in black also. thus eliminating the sharp contrast outlining the figure.

Good, Simple Hay stacker.


 An Iowa farmer writes that in his part of the country, where a large amount of hay is raised, but few farm CTS have barn room enough to hold il, so are compelled to stack it. In stacking hay out of doors some loss is unavoidable, but an effort should be made to reduce this loss to the minimum. One of the greatest mistakes is making the stack too small. The smaller the stack Is, the larger the proportion of hay is spoil ed by being on the top, bottom or sides. In making a large stack. A stacker of some kind is a necessity and the one illustrated here seems to be best all-around device for the pur pose. The device stands straddle of the stack and is held in place by brace

The Barnyard,

There is nothing so repulsive as wet and filthy barnyard, in which the animals are compelled to walk knee deep in filth. Such condition Is not necessary. and can be prevented if the barnyard is kept well supplied with absorbent material Throwing whole cornstalks into the barnyard Is the old method, but cornstalks do not absorb until they are trampled to pieces, and in the meantime much of the liquids are carried off by the rains. It will pay to shred the corn stalks or cut the straw for bedding, while leaves and dry earth may also be used in the barnyard with advant- age.

Many medieval churches took cen. turtles to build. One begun at Troyes, France, in the thirteenth century has just been finished, and opened with splendid ceremony. Pope Urban w.. who was a native of Troyes, ordered the church built on the site of the house where he was born, and the ediflce was to be one of the finest specimens of Gothic art in France. But readers of history will remember that there were many little events which might undo the will of a thir- teenth century pope, and Urban's church has had to wait a long time for the laying of the last stone.
