WoMAN'S AGE NO LONGER A
MYSTERY

A New York expert is authority for
the statement, "A woman is really as
Dung as her waist line" This is both
interesting and disconcerting. Mil
lions of us have been trusting to the
old formula that a woman is as old
as she looks and a man is as old as
he feels. An almost incalculable
amount of energy has been frittered
away in polishing out wrinkles which
by common consent, were accepted as
the trademarks of time. Fortunes
have been spent by those who placed
their trust in the old theory that tc
appear sixteen is to be sixteen. Nc
attention was paid to the waist line
This probably accounts for the low
average of accuracy in the estimates
of feminine age. The failure to take
into account the all-important factor
of girth threw the entire calculation
out of plumb.
Now comes me New York authority
who assures us that in order to OBJ
tain trustworthy data it is Essential

sort of Bertillon test. 1t matters moi
what her face may indicate, for ap
pearances are deceptive. If she has
the waist line OF youth she is young
however distant may be the date Of
her birth. The New Yorker lays
down rules for determining the age o.
woman. For example, he states thai
After a waist measure gets above "a
one should be able to tell the owners
age by doubling her waist measure.
There are other mathematical compu
tations equally infallible in the cases
of women who have not reached the
doubling stage. Even novice who is
familiar with this formulate can tell
the age of any woman. This may be
true enough in New York, but it Goes
not cause any anxiety to the ladies o.
st. Paul. They are aware that those
who ere qualified to speak know bet
ter than to tell.

CHAPTER x,

Mr. Etheridge stood az the door

upon him with a gracious air, and
made him look more di tinguished

when light appeared above, and
light step sounded over his head.

came down upon him.

Kerosene In the Kitchen.

Dirty cloths of all sorts may be rem
dered clean. sweet and soft by the fol-
lowing pTocess:-
Put on the stove a vessel free from

when 1t boils. put IN the cloths, giving
them room for the water to Circulate

not until the water boils up well, one
tablespoonful of kerosene to every
gallon of water.
Boil for half an hour. Take the
cloths up with a stick and rinse them
in plenty of clean water, first warm.
then cold. and dry in the open air.
1t is best TO separate the articles,
the greasy from the non-greasy, and
give each a separate boiling.
An occasional wash of this descrip-
ton would save many cents, for when
the various articles are too worn for
hard labor there will be life enough
in them for other purposes too we'll

1t may be added that if all would
adopt the simple precaution of taking
the first coating of grease from knives
and other utensils with paper, subse.
quent labor in washing up would be
saved and the wear of towels and
dishcloths greatly prolonged.

corToNwooDs FOR SWAMP LAM


The American bottoms are a tract
VI low lands On the Mississippi river.
near ST. Louis. The soil is rich. but
the land is often flooded by the river.
1t is found, however, that the Ameri-
can bottoms can be made TO pay large
profits, other than from crops Of corn
and wheat, and that in spite or feods.
The crop for such location Is tim
Der.
Mr.. Frank Weber. secretary OF for
estry for the Argentine republic, Is Ia
this country and visited st. Louis
few months ago, says the Globe Benz
ocrat, to inquire about the American
bottoms experiment. Messrs. w. =.
and F. G.. Niedringhaus took Aisz to
Cabaret island, just north of the city,
where they have 100 acres planted In
cottonwood trees, averaging tweary.
five feet in height and five inches in
diameter, and valued at $4,000.
In 1908, just after the big food had
destroyed $4,000 worth of crops on
the island, they concluded to expert
ment in forestry; they planted $4,000
seedlings in three-foot squares, end
have cultivated them since, with the
result fiat the tree sare noy! ,aiued
at $4,000, and in three years more
will double in value, despite any
floods.
Cottonwood is very adaptable to
this sandy soil, and will grow better
than willows, and at the rate of one
inch per year.
Mr.. Weber stated that vast plains
in the Argentine republic are similar
in soil 10 Cabaret island, and that he
will report and recommend the plant

he is satisfied from the experiment of
the St. Louis parties that it win ray
