About Wells

~HIFFON wells In white ana col.
ors have become q recognized
adjunct to the summer toilet
especially since the advent Of the al.
tomobile. Every woman must have
at least one, veil-even II just on the
of chance that some one will some
time invite her to go a-motoring.
Yet IN spite OF their universal use.
comparatively little IL known about
making and caring for chiffon wells.
It is a great mistake to buy mex.
pensive chiffon. for 1t wears badly
and never really looks nice. It II an
error to think that . small veil Will
do. For the average hat OF the mo-
ment nothing less than a yard and .
half will serve for covering. Wells
may be purchased already hemmed.
but they are expensive It Is better
to buy the chiffon yelling at about -
a yard and hem 1t at home.
Hemming chiffon Is supposed to Do
4 difIicult feat but when a warm iron
IL brought into use the work Is quite
easy. Straighten the edge carefully
by pulling d thread. then lay the chtf.
fon on the ironing board. turn up
with the aid Of a measure-the hem
OF desired width and crease with the
iron. This done. the hem IL easily
finished by arranging the narrow
turning. basting and then hemming.
The safer way. however. IL to press
both turnings to insure their being
straight
Coiored wells soon become soiled BY
contact with the face. especially In
warm weather White wells may be
worn only a very few times without
being cleansed.
The easiest method Of cleansing
chiffon-or ali wells. for that matter
10 to put them into basin and pour
over Their, 95 per cent alcohol-not
wood alcoaoi. Do not rub the chiffon:
merely pick 1t up and let It fail again
into the alcohol Do this several
times, and. without wringing or
squeezing the wells. hang them out
to dry. OF course. the alcohol soon
evaporates. leaving the wells fresh.

The hens laid an average of 144
eggs per fowl. valued at s1.6S at
local prices for eggs. The prices
were from 10 cents to 25 cents per
dozen, much lower than the prices
in Oregon at the present time. II
wheat had been worth say 80 cents
and had been charged for at that
rate, and bran at cent a pound, the
cost per fowl would have been about
16 cents more, or so cents instead
OF &C cents. But eggs are also high
er In price than they were then.
Taking the monthly egg yield of
the six pens OF 1,eghorns and com
putting the value OF the eggs laid
each month at the average wholesale
price of eggs in Portland during the
past two years, the result would be

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Becau"e you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment OF any kind, dc
not for n moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Everyone knows
that penumonia and chronic catarrh
have their origin in a common cold.
Consumption Is not caused by a cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development OF the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. IL IL the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtherla.
scarlet fever, measles and whoopinf
conght are much more likely 10 be
contrated when the child has a cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks In cold than In any
other OF the common ailments. The
easiest and qulcketst way to cure a
cold is 10 take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable
cures effected by this preparation
have made Il staple article OF trade
over large part of the world. For
sale at Dr. Stones drug store.

In place OF seggs worth $1.0S per
fowl, n their value be computed at
present prices In Portland they would
be worth sass per fowl. In other
words, on the basis OF present prices,
food costing 80 cents when fed to
hens produces eggs worth sass. This
is n pretty good margin OF profit in
feeding 90 cent wheat.
II may be said that the average
flock OF hens does not lay LA eggs
per fowl. THAT is true. IL is also
true that 144 eggs per fowl Is not
phenomenal. The right kind OF hens
properly attoided should average
$50 and well-bred hens considerably
more. The average farm flock will
not average 1926, probably not 100.
In these experiments all the food
eaten was paid for at market prices
and the cost averaged only &c cents
per hen. The cost would have been
only so cents II the wheat had cost
80 cents a bushel. The farmer, how
ever, who keeps so or 100 hens can
do better than that. for on the aver
age farm that number OF hens may
be kept largely on the waste products
or by-products of the farm. The will
find the animal food In the fields In
the snaps OF bugs. grass-hoppers
worms. ETC.. and there will usually
be skim milk of butter-mllk. There
need. therefore, be no cost for ahl-
NAL food, resulting In a saving of 8
TO 10 cents per fowl. The clover or
grass they eat will have little mar
ketable value. The destruction OF
grasshoppers In the clover and grain
the larger breeds bring more than
will. whore these insects are bad. of
set large part OF the annual cost
of food for the fowls In better crops
In experiments with larger breeds
the cost of feeding was greater. The

dottes 81 This extra cost is largely
