THE TURBAN AND ITS BRlM,
Popular Headgear Is Seen in Many
Different Styles.

The turban, so much in vogue this
season, is round hat with a close
fitting brim that turns perfectly
straight upward to height of from
two to four inches. The brim meets
the crown exactly or within a finger
space. The turban is fiat across the
top, the width of the top being from
eight to ten inches.
The toreador, or Spanish turban,
is an exception. The turned-up brim
comes only to about two inches of
the crown, which is oblong in shape
from front to back.
The toque is jaunty, small hat of
many shapes. 1t may be round like
the turban if it have height of brim
rising above the crown on the left
side. The back of a toque dips and
clings to the head. The front varies
in width in different models. 1t may
have a close rolling brim, with a
height of seven inches on the left
side, receding on the right side to two
inches. In this case the crown, sep.
arated three inches from the brim,
slopes toward the right edge in uni
son with the brim effect.
Some new toque models have
pointed or round effects in front with
dents in the sides or the back of the
brim.
Toques are seen in the Napoleon
hat shapes. There is a great variety
in the form of the crown.

ABUNDANCE OF PLANT FOOD.
Farmer Should Get It Into the Soil as
Fertilizer.

Plant food is one of the most profit
able things that the farmer can put
into his soil. If fertilizer of any
kind put into the soil will bring back
it's cost in increased crop, then the ap-
plication has been a success. But the
chances Of additional returns are so
great that it should be the aim of
every farmer to continually feed his
land. Farm manure is good, but farm
manure is not all that should be addde
to land, for the reason that farm ma
nure does not exist in enough abun-
dance to supply the needs of the land.
We know of a farmer that cultivates
large farm we'll and gets fair re-
turns from it. But he makes it a rule
to apply to his land only the manure
made on the farm. AS he keeps only
enough cattle for his own use and
only enough horses to do the work of
the farm, the supply Of manure is
comparatively short. Yet he enforces
his rule of not buying fertilizer from
off the farm. He has been a great
cultivator and has tried to make cul-
tivation take the place of both cul-
tNation and the supplying of an
abundance of plant food. 1t is true
that cultivation helps increase the
plant food in the soil, but to some eX-
tent it also hastens the burning up of
plant food in the soil by exposing the
turned up soil to the conditions found
in the dust mulch.

ming with hats, Panamas hold the par
amount place for outing. They are
simply trimmed with big dropping
bows of pongee silk, drapes of chiffon,

variety of shapes is shown, all soft
and allowing the brim to turn down
protectingly over the eyes.
New and Extreme Shapes.
Chips are next in evidence. Ma
turally we find among them greater
variety in sizes and shapes-crowns
bigger, brims wider, than in the ele-
giant but conventional Panama. Rib.
bons, roses and field flowers-Dresden
patterns in ribbon and Powered Gre
tonne are noted on some-others ven
ture as far as net and flower combina-
tons. A pretty example shows
cone-shaped crown swathed with ring
dot net, and this studded with pale
yellow sunflowers. Even with this
combination the model is a rakish
shape and suggests vacation time,
tramps over the hills and across the
fields. These hats are moderate and
convenient in size and very light on
the head. Some pretty and striking
models are trimmed with ribbon with
white ruching stretched along one
edge. Narrow knife plated null is
also used in this way.

The large pulled crown of net d.
vides honors with the plain crown of
lace. Full plated brims, or brims
lined with rufIles of net edged with
lace, make up the fuffiness about the
face A twist of ribbon about the
crown, plain or figured, with delicious
blurred flowers on light ground, is
made into a full rosette bow at one
side. A single rose and bud lie upon
the brim. Sometimes a wreath OF
small flowers and foliage and twist
of black velvet ribbon surrounds the
crown.
One Of the prettiest models looks
like gray lace, but is really made Of
white point d'esprit plaitings with
black laid over the white. A big aig-
rette in white, with black velve: rib
bon, finish this model.
The Craze for Cretonne.
A craze for cretonne in Powered pat
terms appears to have seized upon up
per tendon. Between these cretonnes
and Dresdens in silks and ribbons
everything is flowery. Collars, cuffs,
belts, bags, parasols and shoes in Gre
tonne, besides the frivolous little coats
and parasols of the same material,
furnish us festival of roses. Flow
cred silks are also used, so like the
cretonne that the eye is deceived.
Some small shapes are covered with
figured silk laid on plain. Large plain
silk-covered frames are bordered with
Dresden, in borders an inch and half
wide. The same ideas will reappear
in velvet for fall.-Illustrated Milliner

General Demand

4 the Well-Informed OF the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy

fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

CLING TO THE PETTicoAT.
American Women Are Slow to Adopt
the "kncker."

In spite of the pre-eminence of d.
rectoire modes the petticoat still re-
tains it's hold in the affections of
American women.
The lingerie petticoat is, in fact,
more thing of beauty now than be-
fore it's prestige was threatened by
the "knicker.'
1t is developed in batiste and sheer
linen and is nearly always finished
with Spanish flounce of lace or EN-.
broidery.
This flounce is generally attached
by ribbons and the petticoat ribbon
has now become an item in woman's
dress.
OF late lingerie makers have in
cluded dimity in the list of petticoat
materials and use it just as they do
mulls and sheer muslins.
Dotted swiss is still regarded as one
of the daintiest of materials for the
petticoat flounce. And the fanciful
bordered effects In this goods are
reconciling many women to the fad
for colored lingerie.
The quality of the ribbons is not re-
stricted and the width is constantly
becoming more pronounced.

feet square, of plank two or three
inches thick This is supported by
posts about five inches in diameter,
the base of the posts bolted or toe

end of runner and about IA feet apart.
The tops of the posts support the up

of the platform is cut out to receive
the revolving upright mast forming
the upper bearing. 1t is better to pro-
tect the mast at this place by thin
steel plate about 6 to II inches or
larger, also it is better to have two
plates at bottom of mast with holes
for the pivot pin in center of the
plate.
To give the supporting framework
additional strength and stiffness, ex-
plains Hoard's Dairyman, it is usual
to attach two long braces from the
bottom of each of the four sides to the
opposite upper corners. A rope of

used three pulleys and so feet of rope

Peiqnoirs Usually Elaborate.

So light is the line between summe,
tea-gowns and lingerie peignoirs that to
the uninitiated it seems almost nom
existent. The chief difference is that
the negligee, SO called, has not even
an apology for a collar, and that the
tea-gown, although frequently cut V
or square in front, is carefully trimmed
and SO treated that the back of the
neck is not exposed. Peignoirs never
have coat effects and their sleeves are
flowing nondescript affairs, whereas
those of tea-gown are always of a
distinct type, such as the pun, the
angel or the classic.
