SAFEGUARD THE HOME
GOOD CITIZENS ARE The sUL.
WARK or THE NATION.
EDUCATION AND PROTECTION
TWO Vital Things to Be Considered by
Those Who Would See the
Greatest Progress and
Advancement.

Where is found the greatest adj
Vancement and civilization there is
also found among the people the high
est type of fealty and love of home.
The American homes are the most
substantial pillars of the nations
greatness, and in American citizen
ship is found the bulwark of our re-
publican government.
Who're the home life is ideal, there
IS found genuine patriotism which is
always commensurate with the en-
nghtenment and the domestic happi-
ness OF the people. How important it
IS then that every safeguard be
thrown about the home, which is the
notified where are produced for devel-
opment all the strength that is neces-
sary for the perpetuation of a govern
ment and the maintenance of a ma
tons greatness.
The student who will study into
conditions of the countries that are
continually wrecked by internal tur-
mol, such as Russia and the Central
American republics, will discover the
homes are far from ideal homes, and
that there is an absence of the love
OF country that should be found in the
hearts Of it's citizens. There is a duty
that involves upon all, and which is
due to the generations growing and to
come. The duty is to surround the
home with such environments as will
make it attractive and develop in the
growing youth the highest qualities of
manhood and womanhood Where the
people are oppressed by monarchy
and feudalism there is no incentive to
develop the highest state of home life.
In America where all are upon an
equal plane and opportunities are
open to every citizen, and where the
people are secure in their rights to
homes, there is every reason why
each one should make the greatest en-
deavor to found for himself and his
progeny a residence place that will
be sure from intrusion and be an in
centive to higher mental and social
development.
Education is all important and no
other country in the world offers to
all such glorious advantages to re-
ceive enlightenment as. does the Unit
ed States. 1t is important that the
home be located near good schools.
Good schools are generally found
where there are good homes and good
towns The quality of citizenship of a
community can generally be gagged by
the standard of it's educational insti.
tutions It is important to the home
builder that the town wherein he is To-
Gated or which he may reside near,
be a progressive place. And the bet
ter that this town be, the better will
be its educational facilities for the
youth. 1t is essential to the greatest
good of community that it be real
lied by all residing within it that the
more wealthy 1t can be made, the
greater will be its advantages both as
to education and otherwise. BY sup
port to home institutions the home is |
made better in every way. Patriotic |
citizens will make it their first aim to
be loyal to their own home interests
and then their state and nation. One
who is loyal to home is generally
faithful in the performance of all the
duties that good citizenship implies.

AduIterated Eoodstuffs.

Recently a number of samples OF
coffee, extracts and canned goods
sent out by a premium giving concern
were examined by chemists in Mis-.
souri, and in South Dakota and found
to be greatly adulterated. These goods
were sold at prices as high as the
local grocers charge for the best class
of articles. Those who are careful Of
health should not buy foodstuff that
comes from the mail order houses, or
from the premium giving concerns.

this month and am airing my griev-
anves. My grievance against the
shirt-waist is one of long standing. I
have no patience with women who put
them on and wear them all day.
Whole dresses of any sort are prefer
able, the shirt-waist having two func-
tions only-for morning wear and
with the short skirt for walking.
The long coat is my ally against the
grievance. 1t encourages whole
dresses as well as thin dresses. Not
that suits are poor investment. In
deed, for autumn they are valuable,
an excellent garment for use between
seasons before styles are really set.
But remember that they are go-be-
tween only, costumes Qike the shirt

coat is for all occasions.

lurking ever in the wake of a popular
evil of the hackneyed model.
Now the hackneyed model in
dresses is bad enough, but heaven
spare us from uniform of long coats!
Make yours different or die! Don't
submit to be duplicated a dozen, two

so you must avoid the striking things,
just as, if wise, you will avoid the

1t is the pronounced style that is

ably catch the eye of the woman lack

Wise Choice of Veil Is Of che
UTMOST Importance
@NrOhN%

The art of the veil is In the draping,
beyond a doubt, and, indeed, 1t is no
small accomplishment to hang the
mesh gracefully and comfortably over
some Of the fashionable but decidedly
bizarre hat brims.
For the ordinary mushroom hat, now
in fashion, yard and quarter of
yelling Is needed.
Always arrange the veil over the
face and front part of the hat first.
See that, If there are dots, they do not
interfere with the line of vision. Then
draw 1t back carefully and evenly, not
too tightly over the nose, but drawn
up little so as to make 1t touch the
chin and just cever the curve. Then
pin 1t at the back. A veil should be
neither too tight nor too loose over
either chin or nose.
The choosing of veil is almost as
important as that Of the hat itself. A
large open mesh requires fresh, clear
complexion; with hair turning gray
white wells should be avoided, as they
make it appear grayer than ever.
Red hair with brown veil takes a
particularly pretty auburn tint, and q
black mesh is even more becoming. A
red veil should only be worn over a
clear complexion, otherwise the blem.
ishes will be magnified.
The blue veil is usually very becom-
ing to a blonde with fair skin; IL
seems to give her color. So does
brown. Brown is, In fact, the most
generally becoming color aud the most
satisfactory for everyday wear.
1t must be remembered that wells
resting against the skin absorb mois
ture from the face and dust from the
street and are unsanitary, unless care
fully brushed and aired and cleaned
after wearing. Even then It is never
well to wear one veil to long. If the
pocketbook cannot stand large out
lay, cheaper meshes more often re
newed are better both for the sake oi
hygiene and Of appearance, for &
stretched veil is untidy. Besides, 6
loose veil is uncomfortable and irritat
ing and the wes rer constantly fingers
1t with ugly and unsanitary effect.
The eyelashes are apt to turn white
at the tips II veil is worn too tightly
drawn against them.

Making-Over Hints.

Skirts trimmed with folds of silk or
velvet ribbon in tuck effects can have
any necessary piecing for lengthening
or freshening the dress at lower part,
done beneath one of these bands, and
the same holdsgood for waists sim
ilarly ornamented. Frequently waist
is found to be hopelessly short-waist-
ed, and for such instances the cross
wise folds seem especially to have
been invented. Make the folds take
slight upward curve to the middle
front from sides, and there place little
loop bows.
A dress sent to be dyed should have
the hem rigged out as the mark ordi-
narily at hem edge is effaced during
process.

An old silk handkerchief or soft
cheesecloth makes the best duster and
a chamois skin is also good. The keys
may be washed with cloth dampened
in milk; alcohol may be used if they
are much soiled. A piano should never
remain open over night, nor should it
remain closed for long periods as the
keys will turn yellow. A professional
polisher should be employed to do the
case over when It requires it. Never

slightly toward the shed, and In this
way heavy machinery may be backed
In by hand, all that is necessary being
to raise the tongue and direct Its
course down the incline and into the
shed. Every man who has backed
machinery into shed with horses
realizes that there is more or less liza
bility to accidents in placing vehicles
or machinery in a shed by horse pow
er, especially If the building is well
filled with machinery. 1t should be at
least 16 feet wide to accommodate
wagons and manure spreaders and
even then portion of the tongues
must be on the outside.
AS to length, this may be arranged
to suit the amount of machinery that
it will be necessary to shelter.
Take large cedar posts, which are
kept at most lumber yards or in tim
bered sections, or suitable posts may
be taken from the timber lot. These
should be set In the ground eight or
ten feet apart, or at such distances as
will permit the machinery of various
sizes to pass between. The post holes
should be dug sufficiently large to al
low tamping them with grout made OF
cement and sand. 1t is also advisable
to place fat rock in the bottom of
each hole to afford substantial sup.
port to the posts. This shed can be
boarded and rooted to suit the tastes
