The Women Of Sumatra.

The treatment given the married
women of the island of Sumatra would
suggest wives paradise. AS soon as
the marriage ceremony is performed
the husband makes his worldly posses
sions over to his wife and thence
forth devotes his energies to accu.
mulating a greater fortune. Divorce
is practically unknown, and one cyni-
cal writer has suggested that this may
be because husband and wife do not
live in the same house, each having
separate home. Then there is the
period of widowhood, which is prac-
ticularly hard to endure because CT
the very happy lot Of the wife. Con
seQuently the widows veil, called
there the "oriamme," is especially
manufactured of the lightest possible
material, its texture being as fine as
muslin, with the result that the most
gentle Of breezes soon tear it to
pieces. Thus within a very short
space does the widow find herself free
to marry, and but few months elspse
before she has found same one 10 con-
sole her and has again bound herself
with the golden bonds of matrimony.

To RefOrest Watersheds.
Secretary Wilson Thinks This Nations Most
Pressing Need.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has returned from an extended trip
through the Western States, where,
in the mountain region, he investi-
gated the forestry situation. He
says that the great problem that is
being studied is the reforesting of
he watersheds in order to preserve
the mountain streams.
"The question of getting enough
wood in most Of the States east of
the divide" he added, cannot be
determined by planting in time to
meet the requirements of the peo-
pie, but the growing of something
IN the watersheds should be at
ended to, and that is being closely
studied by the Department of Ag-
-iculture. Colorado is the greatest
beet sugar producing State. There
we're 200, 900 tons produced there
last year. But, because of the fact
that they have not the water to
provide the irrigation needed, two
If the factories there will not run

oeen fearing, and method of get
ling something to grow on the
watersheds is pressing need.
1T is out of the question to re-
crest the watersheds of the coun-
Try with a spade. There is too
much to do. The work must be
lone in some wholesale manner,

For Dry and Dandruffy Hair.

When the hair is dry and dandruffy
the following lotion, used every other

four ounces of rose water add half a
dram each of sulphur glycerin and
borax This will clear the scalp Of
dandruff and prepare ii for the new
growth of hair. While the head is in
the abnormal condition indicated by
the presence of dandruff the hair will
ae.ther be glossy nor of a good color,
nor will there be healthy growth

Apple Recipes.
As TO Baking-A Rich Pudding Sliced and
Baked.

Few know how to cook apples
properly. They must be served hot,
because the cold baked apple is to
the stomach like a piece of lead.
An apple baked today is unfit to
serve tomorrow. Their cooking re-
quires basting and watching care
fully like a piece of meat. The
whole apple should be baked in tue
skin. There is no particular harm
in eating the skin and the best fla
vor is next to it.

would soon destroy the road beds.

now proven that what was az first
