The Cocain Menace.

A new temptation, the cocaine hab-
it. adolescence. DR.. Charles
Harrington, secretary to the Massachu-
sets state board of health, and lectur-
er at Harvard, set forth the evils of
the drug, and its growing use in vari-
GUS forms among the boys, at the Har-
ward Medical Society recently. Co.
caine numbs the moral principles and
leads to premature graves by way Of
the insane asylums. The cocaine vic
tim is hard to reclaim, because he has
no desire to be reclaimed. DR.. Har-
rington has himself obtained proven
tive legislation, which has just gone
into effect, against cocaine in the form
of a supplement to the drugs act, for
bidding its sale in any form except
on a doctors order. He deserves the
gratitude Of parents and Of the public
generally.

LITTLE ERRORS THAT WORRY.
How Some of Them May Be Avoided
by the Home Dressmaker.

1t is usually the little errors in
dressmaking that are the most irri-
tating and annoying to the woman
who does her own dressmaking. The
unlined waist is one of the hardest
garments to fit correctly. When
wrinkles come at the base of the arm
hole, the trouble usually is that the
armhole has been made too small.
If it is, do not cut it out, but simply
snip it with the point of the scissors
to see if the wrinkles are removed.
If the wrinkles are not removed, then
trim the armhole.
If the waist wrinkles at the base of
the collar line in the back, see if your
belt is in the proper place exactly at
the waist line and that the line from
the center back of the belt is plumb.
If you are sure that the belt Is cor
rectly placed, then snip the collar
with the point of the scissors at each
side of the center back of the collar
and wrinkles in all probability will
be removed.

PLACING a Couch,

Couches are now so much used in
sitting rooms that any arrangement
that has e a spice of novelty
should be welcomed. So try putting
the couch in the corner of the room
so that it touches the wall at n end
and behind it. At the other end, with
its back against the divan, stand a
bookcase, which is a complete screen
to the couch. The latter piece fronts
out toward the room, so that any one
entering sees the bookcase at once,
and on going farther into the room
the couch comes into view.

He was very small, very plump, and
very pretty; he was possessed of a
somewhat philosophical turn of mind.
He spent most of his time lying in a
soft bed in a bright, sunny nursery,
and he was regularly given his dinner
In a nicely warmed bottle.
The person who was most familiar
to his wondering eyes was a dainty,
white-clad, white-capped girl, who was
always cheerful and happy. 1t made
the baby happy to look at her; he ex-
pressed his pleasure by Growing in a
language which he and the nurse
seemed perfectly to understand.
He was dimly aware that outside the
narrow Limits of his nursery there e X
listed a big, noisy, confusing world.
He had received vague impressions
concerning it during the brief hours
which he usually passed outside on
sunny afternoons. On these occasions,
however, the fresh air always put him
to sleep so promptly that he had had
but little opportunity to examine the
strange things surrounding him.
Remotely connected with his inner
life there appeared to be other person
alities than that of his nurse, al
though he had never been able to sat
isfactorily analyze their relationship
On are occasions a man had made
brief visits to the nursery. He gen
orally looked gravely at the baby for a
short time, asked a few calm ques'
lions of the white-capped nurse, and
went out.
The baby always felt much in awe
of the man; he never crowed when
the man was present.
More frequently the baby had
visitor who in some respects resem
bled his nurse, except that she was
much more beautiful and more daz
zlingly attired. She often bent Ions
over the bed, and looked earnestly al
the baby. Her face, despite It's
beauty, never seemed happy like thai
of the nurse, and she eve talked II
the language which the baby and the
nurse understood.
The baby's face always grew solemn
with wonder and expectation when The
woman stood over him. Somewhere
in his being he felt a prompting tt
crow to her; he somehow felt that i
might bring a smile to her sad eyes
but he had never quite dared.
One day as the nurse was preparing
his dinner the woman entered. Sht

DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum.

Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum.
A physician of Wash, D. c., says of
his coffee experience:
For years l suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes | was
almost frantic. | was sallow, consti-
pated, irritable, %sleepless; my mem
DRY was poor, l trembled and nj
thoughts were often confused.
my wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. / tried many
times to do so, but was it's slave.
Finally Wife bought a package Of
Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and l was disguised with the taste.
Il make this emphatic because l fear
many others have had the same expe-
rience.) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the di-
rections, made it right, boiled it full
Is minutes after boiling commenced,
and with good cream and sugar, 1
liked tit invigorated and seemed to
nourish me.
This was about a year ago. Now 1
have no headaches, am not sallow,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my head steady.

new man.
Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. OF Ncourse dropping coffee
was the main thing, but l had dropped
it before, using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an "invigorant, but as an article Of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This is no
imaginary tale. 1t can be substanti-
ated by my wife and her sister, who
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women of about 10.

grow these varieties as it does the
dent and they yield much less. Flint
corn is preferable to sweet corn for
hogs, and field feeding Of flint corn
gives better results than where
husked and fed after the corn has
hardened.
One of the great objections in grow
ing flint and other early varieties of
corn has been the difficulty Of harvest
ing them. Feeding them off with live
stock eliminates this objection, and it
would seem that they might be grown
and utilized more extensively.
Pigs weighing from 100 to 140
pounds are best suited for field feed,

Prevent Eye Discoloration.

Often when playing a child will run
against some object which will hit the
eye, and as a bruise IN the eye is not
only more disfiguring, but more pain
full than n anywhere else on the
body, it is well to know what to do for
1t. Immediately after the eye has been
struck with enough force to make 1t
black, apply a cloth wrung out Of wa
ter, as hot as can be borne. Apply new
cloths as hot as can be stood for 20
minutes, and the blood which has col
lected and clothed will become thin
and pass off to its proper channels. A
bruise on any other part of the body
may be treated likewise.

Threadlna Frock Wlth Rlbbon.

The fashion Of threading the frock
with ribbons at flounce depth around
the skirt Is a pretty one.
The Sits are cut about three inches or
more apart, then buttonholed. The rib
bon or velvet is passed In and out as
one would when using beading, and the
~fullness Of the skirt is drawn up to
suit the wearer, when long ends are
tied into bows and loops either at
intervals or just at the left side.
1t is no use thinking that beading
will answer, for 1t will not. The ma
terial Of the skirt itself must be cut
through.

and particularly the soil and climatic
conditions. Where there is much rain
and the soil is sticky the areas should
probably be limited so that they can
be cleaned up in 20 days or less. Where
there is but little rain, and the soil is
sandy Oh ~gravelly, there is perhaps no
good reason for limiting the amount of
corn beyond that which they can con
sumo before the end of the season. If
by mismanagement or accident any
part of a field is left unfinished brood
sows or stock hogs may advantageous
ly be used to clean it up, and if the
amount is large, then they should be

time, as their breeding qualities are

The Revolving Cat.

Little Susie has always been deeply
interested in mechanical toys, and
numbers several among her choicest
possessions. Recently the family cat,
having apparently eaten something
which disagreed with her, began a
mad race around the room, leaping
chairs, diving under sofas and turning
somersaults. Susie's mother, much
frightened, seized her small daughter
and mounted a convenient table. But
Susie remained unsecured. Clapping
her hands in glee, she shouted, Wind
her up again, mamma; wind her up
again!"

Kerosene for Head Lice.-A reader
wants to know what is the very best
mixture to destroy head lice on old
birds. Any Of the well known lice
killers will do the work. If these can
not be secured use kerosene and lard.
Rub this well into the roots of the
feathers and it will be only a short
time till the bird will be free from
the lice. 1t is said that any kind of
oil is death to lice. This statement is
verified by the fact that the duck is
rarely if ever bothered with lice, be-
cause there is naturally a great deal
Of oil on it's skin.

Poisoning Insect Pests.-Insects
that chew the foliage may be poisoned
by applying the poison so that it is

these that pierce the stems and leaves
must be poisoned from the outside.
The arsenic compounds, like paris

the leaf chewers, while soap suds and
coal oil are the most popular in fight
ing the plant and leaf suckers. Where
a less violent poison is needed, hele.

The variety of corr usually grown in

for hogging off purposes, since it is
probably the best adapted to the local

ever, getting ar early start in the fat

field. Enough can thus be taken out
at a time to last for two or three days.
There are no definite data at hand to
determine just how large an area it is
advisable to allow hogs at one time in
feeding off corn. Results at the Min
nesota station show that where it took
the hogs 20 days to clean up a field
of corn they did not make as good
gains during the latter part Of the
period as during the earlier part. Some
farmers who have tried it claim that
as good results are obtained by turn
ing into the whole field at once as
by fencing into lots. This is a matter
to be settled largely by circumstances
such as the price of labor, the shape
of the fields, the cost to fence them,
