They hoped that in the spring q

when her little babe was laid upon her

She never knew her child, and the

Mother and child yet live, and until
both pass away the empty home will
stand unused and decaying, so neglected

spread. The shoots as they become
heavy with fruit fall over against the
sides of the rack and are prevented from
coming in contact with the earth.,2 For
a kitchen garden where but few plants
are grown this Is q very satisfactory
plan. The plants can be set somewhat
closer than is the case where no sup
ports are provided. For commercial
plantations, however, the cost of the.
frames is prohibitive. The common
commercial practice is to place the
plants about four feet apart each way
in check rows SO as to allow them to be

to getrid Of the difficulty Is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges.

supply Of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor" he
says. II was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. Az the result Of using eight
boxes Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
tho merits Of which I learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating" .'.g~
A very simple story, but II it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must. be
merely question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is q native Of
Aix4les- Bains, France, but now resides
Mt No. 2499 Larkin street, San Francisco,

can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders Of the stomach.
IF you would get rid Of nausea, pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any Of the other
miseries Of a dyspeptic, get rid Of the
weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere. i
Proper diet is, Of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and q
little book, "What to Eat and How to

LIVING ON FLOWER DIET.
The Chinese Have Several Such Dishes
Which They Esteem Very
Highly:

The flower best suited to the Chinese
palate and the one which is served with
almost every elaborate Chinese dinner
is the chrysanthemum, says Leslie's
Monthly. The flower has q peculiar
flavor and requires taste educated ny
many trials before it can be fully ap-
preciated; but Chinese epicures and a
few New Workers who enjoy Chinese
foods frequently pay fancy prices for
chrysanthemums, which they take to
the Chinese chefs to have prepared for
them. The old-fashioned nasturtium,
the rose and the violet seem to please
the American taste, however.
For luncheon an element of inter-
est is always added by introducing the
chatting dish at table. The flower des-
serts are particularly adapted for
luncheons because of the blossoms
beauty and fragrance as we'll as the
novelty of preparing them for food.
To make the dessert, or the blossom
delight as some enthusiasts call It.,
first stir a thin batter of eggs and
flour. This should be brought in from
the kitchen already prepared. The
flowers, thoroughly washed, should be
arranged in a glass vase on the side
board. Have the chatting dish ready.
half filled with oil, smoking hot. Pluck
the petals from the flowers, stir brisk

small portion and drop into the oil.
The fritters puff up Immediately, and
If taken out quickly they retain the
color of the flower from which they
are made. When removed from the oil
they should be placed for a moment on
absorbent paper before being busted
with powdered sugar and passed to the
waiting guests, who are more than
anxious to sample the new idea. The
tiny waters, which are crisp and dain.
ty, are good substitutes for the I'm.

ices Of any kind. ~ .... x :

It used to be said (but that was long

of the common people, the orange the
fruit of the wealthy and the grape the
fruit for the king. Now all fruits have

now is about as cheap as the apple, and

Flowers and Plumage.

When a combination of tints is re.
quired, plumage is generally resoTted
to, flowers of different color from the
hat shape being mostly reserved for
trimming under the brim. For this
purpose, pink or yellow roses are
often chosen, and also white and palest
pink camelias, with their own green
leaves. A somewhat daring harmony
consists in the choice of two long os-
trich tips, one of a bright rose pink,
the other a brilliant %copperish red, as
trimming for a cigar-brown felt.

curve slightly forward over the brim,
which was turned up in front and fiat

THE DAIRYMAN'S HARVEST.
Under Right Management the Most
Money May Be Made in the
Winter Time.

This should be the harvest time for
men who are keeping cows for profit.
Those who are making the most money
with their cows practice winter dairy
ing. says John Michels, instructor in
dairying, Michigan Agricultural col
lege. Winter butter sells for about eight
cents per pound higher than summer
butter, hence the wisdom Of producing
the bulk of the butter during the winter.
When COWS freshen in the fall they
will yield milk more days of the year
than when they freshen early in spring.
This, because they are fed heavier,
which puts them in best condition to
produce a good flow OF milk the sum
mer following. The result is that the
cows will yield milk almost up to the
next calvlng.
II the COWS freshen in the fall, the
winter ration should consist of at least
one-third grain, one-third succulent
feeds, like silage and roots, and the
balance corn stover, clover hay, or
other roughage. Where winter dairy
ing is to be made a success the COWS
must be housed in warm, we'll venti-
lated stables.

ening, and her whole poise is better in
stead of being worse.
busting is an exercise that will do as
much to teach a Woman to lean properly
as any hat is taught in a gymnasium.
Here again the thing to remember is that
any leaning must be done from the waist,
not from the shoulders.
In busting the furniture of a whole
room many different poStureS are taken,
and if a woman cares enough about her
looks to take a little pains she can learn
a great deal about grace in bending side
wise and down.
Done from the waist and hips it will
develop the hips and give a good waist
line.
One thing l would say here is that a
woman cannot be too particular about
having the windows open, so that she
can get plenty of fresh air while doing
homework.
The work is invigorating, and there
should be good air taken into the lungs
while they are supplying the body.
Moreover. cleaning. of course, makes
a great deal Of dust. and as much as pos
sible this should be driven into a draught
and SO out, that it may not be taken into
the system.
S%crubbing is one of the best exercises
for developing the muscles of the arms
and making the arms well rounded. 1t
also calls the shoulder muscles into play
and develops the chest so that a hollow

The lungs are given opportunity to ex-
pand and the whole frame benefits.

HOW TO DRESS TIE HAIR.
The Pompadour Still with Us, But 1t
Is Not Worn So High as
Formerly.

The couture is the puzzle of the hour
to the feminine nina. Nine. la Mode
has issued her edict that the pompadour
with the rat must go, save for the grande
dame with her white hair, patrician face
and velvet gown. But for once the fem
mime world rebels,
The pompadour, properly dressed,
gives a girl an air of distinction. Very
few faces can stand hair demurely part
ed in the middle and knotted low on the
Lape of the neck. AS a result the really
clever girl works out a compromise be-
tween the high dressed hair and the low,
while the girl who does not know how
to do the correct thing clinSs to her
pompadour in the front and drops her
back hair on the nape of her neck-a
combination which is startling, to say
the least, and leaves IN ugly space be-
tween pompadOur and knot.
One Of the most pleasing compromises
shows the rat removed from the pom
padour and the front hair Marcelled just
as if the rat were to be used. 1t is then
parted on the side (and. by the way.
neither the right nor the left side is
obligatory; a girl must study her face
before deciding where to place the part),
then the hair is drawn back lightly and
knotted on the nape of the neck, but
not too low.
Sometimes no part appears, but the
pompadour, minus the rat, is waved III
three puffs. These puffs are o tight,
but the finger or comb is Il through
them to secure a light, fluffy. waved eff
feet. One puff is drawn down slightly
over the forehead, and the other TWO run
back from the temples. or, if the face
needs a different treatment. the three
puffs run around the brow like a frame,
fuffed and waved so that they practical
~ overlap each other. With this dress
ing of the pompadour the hair may be
worn in a fat figure eight IN top of the
head. or the waving may continue over
the crown and back of the head and
he caught in with the back hair in g
figure eight on the nape of the neck.
This figure eight should not extend be-
low the junction of the collar with the
