Senator Foraker is haunted by an Ohio
newspaper man who at all sorts of times
appears looking for news. The enterprising
journalist outdid himself few days ago
and official Washington is still laughing nj
the story. The senator had visited his
dentist, who decided that the drill must be
applied to an offending tooth. Mr. Foraker
knew by experience just what the coming
torture would be and meekly submitted to
the preliminaries. Just as the dentist was
about to introduce the buzzing tormentor
his newspaper friend burst in and asked
for the latest news. For once in his life
the senator was glad to see the young man,
whose sudden appearance postponed for
few minutes at least the terrifying ordeal
in prospect. Mr.. Foraker gave him all the
news he could think of and then resigned
himself to his fate. Later he said, in tell
ing the circumstance: Il hope TO heaven

made.
The samples are sent to the department

and the burning is noted. Should the
cigar burn evenly. without taking or other

The officials in charge of the experiments

wrapper leaf grown in the United States.
This should be completely consumed in the
burning. The wrapper leaf is placed on

burns properly the seeds from the plant
from which the leaf was taken are care

FINE MORNING EXERCISE.
To Make One 1.-the and to Lessen I'm
lovely Fleshiness, Observe
the Following.

When you first get up in the morn
ing, before you dress, try this exercise:
Stand erect, with weight on balls Of
feet. Raise the hands as high over the
head as possible. Then. holding the
knees stiff, bend forward and touch the
floor with the ends of the fingers. Do
this ten times, being careful not to bend
the knees.
At first you may not be able to touch
the floor, but no matter, keep it up any
how. and after awhile you will be able
not only to touch the floor, but to take
the exercise rs Or so times without tir-
ing. Don't try to do it more than ten
times at first.
This is fine exercise to timber up the
waist and back muscles, and will often
eradicate a morning backache. People
who are very tieshy will find that this
exercise faithfully persisted in will re-
duce a, too prominent abdomen.
If this exercise is followed by a good
vigorous rub with coarse towel, going
all over the body. you will find yourself
in fine shape to start the day. Breathe
deeply while taking the exercise and
towel rub. Be sure that the room is
well ventilated, plenty Of fresh air COM
ing in, but do not stand where the draft
will strike you.
Take time to try this exercise a few
mornings and see il you do not find
yourself feeling better all day as re-
suit of it.-Medical Talk.

70 IMPROVE THE LAWN.
It Need Not Take a Great Deal Of Time
or Money to Better the Con-
dition of Yard.

A great many good farmers will tel
you the only way to improve shabby
lawn is to thoroughly pillow it up, fertil'
lie and SOW to grass, or else strip OF
the sod and completely cover the naked
SOL with thick turf cut in the pas
ture where weeds are unknown. Now
either Of these tasks requires hare
work, and often the ladies may agi
tate the question for years without
seeing anything accomplished. There
is no denying that many lawn would
be improved by thorough blowing,
but it would have to be done at time
when other work pressed close upon
the farmer and the lawn is always put
of till more convenient season.
If you did not SOW seed upon the
snow in February to sink down and
make the bare spots green later on 1t
is still time enough to do little work
in that direction. Before a gentle
sprlng rain SOW your seed thickly and
let it wash into the soil. While this
would never do on bare ground be-
cause the sun would bake it out. it
nevertheless helps poor lawn greatly.
and what grass you already have will
shade the new till 1t gets a start. 1t
is impossible for the busy lady of the
farm to put new sod all over the yard,
but she can patch up the old till it
looks very respectable. In England,
the best meadows have not been
plowed for hundreds of years, so it is
really not necessary to be digging all
the time to have a good lawn.
Taen in the matter OF fertilizing
The farmer might think he could not
waste the time to hitch UP and cart
manure to the front yard on busy
spring day, but If the children load the
wheelbarrow he will push it to the
house without word, and it is an easy
task to rake it in where it is most
needed. Of course. the first requisite
is to have the dead grass, trash and
everything raked off the lawn before
beginning, so there will be no trouble
later on in cutting the grass Suppose
you take one section at time Or de-
vote half an hour each Cay to the
lawn. You will soon see decided i'm
provement, and in time the place will
be changed SO you will hardly know it.
Even unsightly holes and uneven
places may be filled in a little at q
time without destroying the sod, for
children delight to haul in their little
wagons and the rich soil spread even
ly on the low places, from time to
time, is better than a whole load of
yellow clay dumped down to even up
the lawn and on which it is impossible
to grow anything but weeds.-Prairie

POINTS ON DRESS.
Some Pertinent Hints Regarding
What Features Mark the Moment
and About Renaodeling.

Pipings will be much used, and a
touch of color may be thus given to
even a plain garment, which will add
much to its becomingness Pipings
may be used to outline yokes, vests,
collars. cuffs, AMI for box plaits and
ruffles. Wooden button molds of vari-
Gus sizes will be covered with goods
of the same material of the dress it.
self, or like the piping, largely used
On coats and gowns. Small remnants
may thus be used up, and color and
freshness given the garment.
Tight-ftting waists may be worn,
and these must be carefully boned.
Whalebones are much used, but fearh-
erbone is quite popular and much less
expensive.
Garments that are to be made over
should be ripped apart, all threads
picked out, sponged, pressed and put
where it will be all together when
called for. If the material is to be
dyed, that should be attended to as
soon as possible. It is good idea to
have all remnants, of whatever mate
rial, sorted out, smoothed, and ready
for use if needed. Uses may be found
for remnants of nearly all kinds, in the
styles of to-day.-The Commoner.

HABIT OF CLEANLINESS.
Points in Grooming That It Is Abso-
lutely Necessary to Observe If
One Would Be Attractive.

Very few things age woman, or ruin
her complexion. more completely than
personal uncleanliness. Attractiveness
is not always question of dress, though
cleanliness of clothing is very great
factor in the matter. At times, ones
work is such that, for the time, she
caront be as neat as she would like, but
when the necessity is ended, would we
not all feel better if we should "prink
up" little? At least, to the extent of
washing our face, neck and hands and
arms, combing and neatly dressing che
hair, and putting some little, becom-
ing touch to our neckWear, seeing that
our teeth are clean, and our finger nails
clear of mourning streaks." A woman
who is personally neat will not allow
herself to sit down in disorderly
room, unless very tired, and then, not
for long. If one allows the dirt and
CRIME of one day to lap onto that of an
other, the effect will soon be seen in a
ruined complexion. Neglected hair is
always untidy hair. and few things are
more disagreeable than to talk to a
woman with dirty. unbrushed mouth.
Such women get unbearable, even to
themselves, and, if not far gone, realize
that they are not respected as are their
clean sisters If we allow ourselves to
go about, unwashed, uncombed, I'M
tidy six days in the week, do you think
we shall feel at ease in our "dress-ups"
on the seventh? Don't you know the
habitual neglect will "show through"

DUST THE CHINA CLOSET.
Unused Shelves and Dishes Collect
Dirt to an Alarming Degree and
Housewife Should Not Neglect.

Don't neglect a careful busting, or,
better still, quick rinslng, whenever
you are going to use china and cut glass
which has Eeer hidden away in closets.
No matter how dust-proof your closets
may seem, or how short time the dish
es have been out Of use. they are bound
to have gathered little dust, which
may reveal itself later in embarrassing
ways.
One hostess, whose maid had not taken
this precaution before the guests were
seated at the pretty little luncheon she
was giving for one of them had the dis
comfort of seeing her own 'stay plate
covered with a light coat Of dust. Steal
ing a glance around the table, she dis
covered that her guests were served
with plates as dusty. one OF the plates
being further decorated with thumb
mark conspicuously white against the
dusty background. They had been taken
from a plate rail and set Oh the table,
AS the meal progressed, she watched.
and here and there a stray dish showed
that it had been the top Of pile of
dishes.
After the luncheon she and the maid
had a conference, with the result that
dishes were more carefully looked to
on all occasions afterwawrd.
