Cleanup Sale of
Knit Underwear
Women's end Children's Sizes

We haven't had heavy underwear weather yet. and a great many
people have not thought much about change. But when an oppor-
tunhy such as this comes along, almost any one will see the advsa-
blhy of securing heavier garments while they may be had so cheaply.
One of the largest New York distributors of underwear, growing
impatient over the mild weather, sold us a lot of garments cheaply,
and with these we place some sample lots and some that are slightly
soled from handling, and a few that are imperfect. The style, fit and
finish of every garment is of a kind to please particular people.

There is not another shoe that enjoys to the same extent the universal
popularity of SOROSiS. Thera is a good and sufficient reason for this:
In Sorosis you find only the finest feathers, the skill of the master
craftsman, the most refined taste, the closest attention to style.
The element of shapeiness has received important consideration in the
designing of Sorosis. and the result is that they make any foot look well
dressed, whether large o small; they FIT and hold their shape. Smart
enough to complete the most fashionable street costume. Sensible enough
to lend absolute comfort to sporting attire. Dainty enough to meet the ex-
acting demands of evening dress.

The possibility of lessening the labor
of caring for poultry by supplying snow
instead Of water has beer studied at
the Connecticut Storrs Experiment Sta
ton by G.. X. Graham. When pullets
and heLs were fed wheat screenings
and beet scrap from hoppers in col
ony houses on low ground frozen dur
ing most of the experimental period
and covered with snow during part OF
the time the old hens did not furnish
as many eggs or appear to be in as
good condition as the younger birds.
The old hens were apparently af-
fected by the snow, the egg production
being smaller on the days when snow
vas on the ground and also consider
ably less when the ground was frozen
that 10, on the cold days when water
was not accessible. These conditions
do not seem to have affected the young
er birds. and they show an increase in
eggs Immediately after each snow
storm. gradually dropping back as the
disappears.
In the ease of other lots kept under
much the same conditions in houses on
higher ard drier ground the cold
weather Gid not affect the egg produc-
ton materially, but there was a no.
ticeable increase in the amount of
grain eaten during the cold weeks
when comparison is made with the
very mild mes. This, however, may
nave been caused by the birds forag-
ing more during the milder periods.
These birds did not appear to mind
the cold, and there was not the slight
est sign OF frosted combs among them,
nor were there n colds"

Pure Wafer ON the Farm.


Absolutely pure water is not to be
found in nature. The amount and tie
nature of the impurities vary widely,
depending upon the source of supply
and other conditions. Nor are all Of
the impurities harmful in a water in
tended for domestic use (and, very few
of them may be-, but owing to the fact
that water may be the agent for
spreading certain diseases, it is essen
tial that care be taken TO get a supply
that is free from harmful constituents,
says Robert W. Gray, of the Colorado
Experiment Station.
Impurities may either be dissolved in
the water or carried in suspension by
it: and they may be of animal, vegeta-
BILE, or mineral origin. Hardness in
water IS due to the presence of com
pounds OF lime o. magnesla. Iron may
be present in quantities large enough to
make a water unfit for laundry pur-
poses.
The greatest danger TO which a do
nestle supply is subject, however, is
the possibility of contamination by de-
cayinc animal matter and wastes. Ty-
phOid fever and other diseases result
from such contamination. 1t is. there
fore, important that any source of sup
ply should be guarded. In these cases
where the water IN down as rain
and is caught upon roofs, to be carried
to n c~istern, the first part of the rain
fall should be wasted, as Ii is full OF
dirt from the roof. Brick filters In
cisterns are not so efficient as they are
generally supposed TO be.
When the water is drawn from &
well and comes up cool. clear and
sparkling. it is very difficult to CON
vince anyona that it is possible for any
thing injurious TO be present but such
is sometimes the case. No well or
spring should be used which is located
within several hundred feet of a bar1y-
yard and in lower ground. The barn.
yard filth will find its way beneath the
surface of the ground and flow for
some distance before it becomes harm
less. What is said of wells is also true
of springs. They may appear to come
out of the solid rock, but there is a
crevice in which they flow and there
may be other crevices which will per-
NIT the entrance of the d~eath-dealing
sewage.
The examination Of a sample of wa
ter to determine its goodness or its bad
ness for any use is possibly only to
those who are specially fitted for that
work. so reliance must be placed prin-
cipally in doing away with all visible
sources Of harm.

A Hero of the Civil War.

There entered the Iowa Soldiers
Home at Marshalltown some time ago
a man who Is one Of the heroes of the
Civil War: n man who one performed
a service considered one OF the most
brilliant of all the brave deeds Of the
great American conflict. He is George
W. Dart. who raised the Stars and
Stripes over the Confederate capitol at
Columbia, s. c., at the end of Sher-
mans march TO the sea At the out
break of the war Dart was q resident
of Clinton, Iowa. and enlisted in Com
pany G., in the Thirteenth Iowa regi-
ment. belonging to the famous Croker
Brigade. He was discharged at Vieks
burg. Miss. in December. 1863. He re
enlisted and was placed i'm the rear
guard of Sherman's army. The army
had neared Columbia when the lieuten-
ant colonel OF Darts regiment, with q
squad of men, entered the city with
colors flying, borne by Dart. at thu
head. The streets were lined with Con
federate soldiers, far Outnumberiug the
daring UniOnists, but as Sherman's
arm, had beer hourly expected. the
Confederates assumed that a large
force was near at hand, and so ven
tured no hostilities. The little band
kept on until the capitol building was
reached, when Dart passed the guards
and flung the Stars and Stripes from
the top Of the building.
