5vvATER AS a BEAUTiFER.
Used Generously e g Of Ear Creator
Benefit to the Skin Than
!s=.=. .=. Face Lotions. s$== Il.

While women run after each new
thing in the way of face creams and CONF
|plexion beantifiers, q very simple aid to
good digestion and hence to q clear,
pretty skin, goes unappreciated and
unused, right at their hand. It is as
cheap as water, too, says an authority.
In fact, 1t is water--just clear, pure
drinking water, of which very few Wom-
!: en- drink One-quarter as much as they
should in the course of a day. Physi-
clans tell them SO repeatedly, but they
don't form the habit; they are not
thirsty, and SO many an entire day passes
in which they: do not drink glass of
water, except at meals, and then often in
such q manner as to retard rather than
aid the digestion. 4=...,..s 49,. ~
T. To do it's work properly, the liquid
should be taken between meals, and at
least three pints-or six ordinary glasses
"a day should be the average of an
adult It must be said, though that ice
| water taken in this quantity will do
harm. The water should be chilled.
but never iced.
This scientific taking of water, which
will do the system real good. and which
many women have tried with much ben
| edt, begins as soon as one awakes.
Drink then glass Of water-hot, II

q half teaspoonful Of powdered charcoal

eaten slowly and we'll masticated it will
soon be possible to eat without drink
ing, and the meal will digest far better
than when swallowed and washed down
with liquids.
! About half an hour after a meal
drink a glass of water, and from then
until half an hour before the next meal,
take 1t frequently. The quantities must
be decided by the individual. but the end
must be to absorb three pints before bed
time.
A woman whose skin is the envy of
others. and who is believed by many
to resort to all sorts of beauty" de.
vices attributes it entirely to the plenti-
full use of water. both internally and ex-
ternally. She drinks it glassful at a
time almost every hour.
Hot water, If taken a cupful on rising
and another when going to bed, will help
to reduce the weight OF. a stout person.
Cold water, unless taken with meals,
will not increase flesh, but has a ten
dency to harden and make it firmer.
Another simple beautifier that few
women appreciate is the taking of fruit
juices. AS much as three glasses day
Of the freshly pressed Juice of some fruit
will have marked effect on the sys-
tenn and the complexion.
We none Of us eat as much fruit as we
should, and If grapes and apples were
always substituted for heavy pudding,
pies and French pastries, most Of the
beauty culturists would have to retire
from business.

are often mistaken for small yellow
ish colored worms. The eggs hatch in
the spring, and the young feed upon
other insects and sometimes upon
leaves In this stage. however, they
do little damage, the principal damage
beingsdone to the canes when the eggs
are deposited within them. This often
so weakens the canes that they break
of or bend over. Many times the canes
die above the point of injury.
From the habits of the insect, it will
be seen that it is difficult successfully
to spray to kill it. and the best way to
keep it In check is to cut out all of
the canes containing eggs each fall
This is not so difficult task as might
appear: as the incisions are readily seen
as regular rows of wounds. BY split
ting the canes the large eggs may be
seen laid regularly in the canes.
If this cutting out of infected canes
is done when the patch is pruned it
may be done with very little extra la
Dor. Constant watchfulness will hold
the tree crickets in check, so that they
will not do serious damage. .z=.
1t is difficult to entirely exterminate
them, as they deposit eggs not only upon
the raspberry, but upon the apple,

HAULING OF MANURE.


During the winter every progressive
farmer should be planning and getting
things together to make work as easy
as possible when springs work begins.
says George c. Reynolds, in the Epit-
omist. The farmer who makes it q
business to haul his barnyard manure
out on the land while covered with
snow is taking one long step towards
putting In a profitable winters work.
This not only makes the work easier,
but on the other hand, gets the manure
where it will do the most possible good
as a fertilizer. Some farmers are ayerses
to hauling manure and spreading on
snow, because they think when the
spring break up comes the non-porous
condition of the soil permits the wash
ing away of large percentage of the
fertilizer value of manure. There is
no question but what a percentage Of
the manure value is lost through wash
ing at this time of the year, but expert
ments go to show that much larger
percentage is lost before it ever reaches
the field than after it is spread upo2
the land. Last winter, feeling that there
was some reason to believe there might
be more loss caused by washing than
one might suppose, determined to set
tie the matter for myself BY trying a
little experiment. There is no reason
why any farmer need trust to what
others say regarding the matter, when
on his own farm at no expense, e1-
periments can be conducted that will
settle the matter for always. When the
snow is foot or deeper haul out FIVE
or ten loads on land that is to be
plowed the coming spring and give the
matter a careful test. After the snow
has gone down to about FIVE inches on
the level, haul out like number Of
loads and spread as near as possible
to the manure previously hauled out.
Then again after the snow has all gone,
and the ground settles in the spring,
repeat the same number of loads near
that which was spread on the Snow.
Stake of the strips so that there viii
be no mistakes made, and note careful
ly the growth, color and general de-
velopment of the crop. If it is possible
to have the crop of corn it will be much
easier to distinguish the difference II
there should be any. The experiment
I conducted on my own farm proved
very favorable to hauling manure and
spreading on snow, but as all expert
uents do not result the same under
varying conditions advise every farm
err to give the matter a thorough trial
on his own land.

MAN WHO IvVo MAN HUNTS
False But Cherished Illusion as to
Which of the Two Il tho &
81 .a Seeker. S:. s#s* s5 /.

. One OF the most false and possibly, for
that reason, the most cherished, illusions
OF man Is the idea that he chooses his
lown%wife. says q writer in the New York
World when, as matter Of fact, he mere
" succumbs to q young person that has
marked him for her own as inevitably as
smallpox or the black hand. . s.
The much-quoted statement that any
woman can1marry any man she wants to
.likemost other glittering generalities,
lacks confirmation In fact. But it would
be very much truer II the fair partici-
pants In the man hunt would devote
their attention to . particular man In
stead Of wasting time in a scattering
fire. Very often they undertake too
much. and in trying to bring Tom, Dick
and Harry to the proposal point at once
fail with all three. The same amount
Of attention given to one of the trio
would have convinced. him that the
dearest woman in the world might, with
a great deal Of: persuasion, consent to
marry him and make him the most
blessed among his kind. = -
How this wonderful result 10 brought
about only the girl knows-though very
often she doesn't know, but is. like the
selected husband, just an obedient pawn
in the hands of her wise and elderly f.
male relatives. For a homely girl with
an experienced mother has just about 40
times as great chance to capture man
as pretty girl without ope. The pretty
orphan is frequently ingenious enough
to think that the feminine role in court
ship consists in breathing a whispered
yes to the most favored of half dozen
ardent suitors, and so leaves to chance
what the wiser maiden accomplishes by
cold science.
OF course, only widow has the sci
ence of man-trapping thoroughly mas
tered, and a new occupation might be
furnished impecunious relicts if some
kind philanthropists would only endow
a school of courship for women and en-
ploy the widows to give object lessons in
subtle love-making to the inexperienced
of their SEX
However, to give reality to the les
sons, men would probably have to take
the passive parts in them, which fate as
signs the prospective husbands IL real
life. And in this event the widows would
probably gobble them UP faster than the
faculty could supply them. For any
widow can marry any man she wants
unless he is warned in time and has him
self sentenced to life Imprisonment in
Sing Sing or Auburn in self-defense
And even then it would be by no means
certain that she wouldn't get him.
We cannot all be widows, however, and
those of us not of that privileged class
can only cudgel our dull wits over the
''preliminaries Of. marriage" as they
were styled in the passionist fathers ad-
dress, and do the best we can in the Sc.
rene anticipation that some time even
our day of widows weeds and wiles may
dawn.

OF the sermon that followed, also IN
long meter, the least said the better.
Few understood 1t as anything perth

were over q few. of the elderly ones
halted In the porch to greet him, for
DR.. Sol had spread the news that he
was now quite rich and might take
up his residence in Greenvale. Aunt
Comfort was one Of these, but Angie
merely bowed and walked on with
Hannah. AS their path was the same,
Martin had half expected the two
families Would walk homeward to-
gether and thus give him q chance to
chat with Angie: but 1t did not occur.
When the greetings were over, how
ever, he walked away with Aunt
Comfort. =. -
When evening came, Martin was in
somewhat Of Quandary. He had
met Angie three times, and on each
occasion she had shown no more than
ordinary courtesy and no vestige of
any deeper feeling. Then to walk on
ahead Of the rest, as she had that
morning, seemed almost a snub.
But certain logged determination
inherent in him conquered indecision.
and when the evening bell called and
she appeared, he boldly advanced and
in the most polite manner offered
his company churchward.
Now it is a we'll understood social
custom in Greenvale that, when q
young couple of manageable age
walked to church together, they were
engaged, or willing to be so consid-
cred, and hence, when Martin walked
up the aisle that evening and faced
about to let Angie enter the pew

Foundation of Dairvinr.

The motherhood of the COW is the
foundation Of dairying. This foundation
has not been understood in the past,
and the mother quality was set at
naught. The care and feeding Of the
mother are things that should receive
our first attention, but they have been
the things to receive attention last. AS
soon as the COW is dry it has been the
custom to cut down her feed and some
times to let her. go with only hay and a
poor quality Of hay at that. This is not
treatment that is likely to develop the
calf within her or to improve the milk
ing qualities of the COW herself, 50

Some Modish Fancies in Feminine

The upper side of the brim and the
