To Put on a Corset.

Much depends on the way in which
a corset is put on. The following
hints may be useful:
Fasten the abdominal hooks first,
lifting the body, with long breath,
at the same time, and holding the
head well back.
After the top of the front is hooked
draw the Topped laces from the eye
let's slightly below the waist, pulling
the bottom of the corset much tighter
than the top.
Through this simple means healthy
breathing is permitted, for bodices are
so loose that it is only at the waist
and hips the figure needs to be held
taut
To keep the corset in good shape.
when off the person, many women use
block of wood, round which the cor
set is wrapped tightly and kept in
place on the block with ribbon or
pins. 1t is then wrapped in tissue pa
per to preserve cleanliness, and put
away perhaps in a drawer family
scented with orris root There is no
better perfume than orris root for all
the matters of woman's dress.

PAINT FAULTS.

1t is a common occurrence nova.
days to hear man remark with dis
gust: 1T is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters" This, however, is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question is,
bringing them together.
One cannot expect a satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is way to make sure you are
getting pure white lead without test
ing it. See that the keg bears Ma
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which is a
positive guarantee of purity. However,
anyone can test white lead. National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,
New York City, will send you a lead
tester and painters outfit, consisting
of book of color schemes, specifica-
tons, etc, upon request.

HOW TO SAVE FRUIT CROP
Spraying at the Proper Time and in
the Right Method Productive
of Good Results.

Professor Ball of Utah and other
olutionized spraying for the codling
moth where this insect alone is to be
combated. They find by one or at most
two sprayings, judiciously timed and
properly applied, almost the entire
fruit crop can be saved.
Balls method is based primarily on
two important facts. He claims that
wherever upon the apple the eggs of
the first brood are laid a great ma
jority of the young worms coming
therefrom crawl to the calyx and en-
ter there; secondly, that Immediately
after the petals fall there are two cav
tiles at the calyx end, the stamen
cavities
The young larva enters the apple by
eating through the floor of the lower
cavity. Balls idea was to get the
poison lodged in sufficient quantity in
the lower cavity, where it would do
some good. To accomplish this he
sprayed from above, while the apples
were still erect But for a few days
after the petals fall these stamen
bars" are so tightly pressed together
as to make it very difficult for the
liquid to penetrate to the lower cav
ity. BY waiting a week or ten days,
even though the calyx lobes are clos
ing at that time, these bars have
shrunk, enabling a careful workman
to place big dose of poison in the
lower chamber, where it is needed.
The nozzle should be held above the
apples, and made to give, not a mist,
but forcible and substantial spray,
directly down upon the fruit. Later
than this, however, spraying with
these principles in view would be of
little avail because the calyx lobes are
almost completely closed. Balls work
shows that enough poison is retained
from two early sprayings to kill an
average of 80 per cent. of the worms
of the first brood and IA per cent
of the second brood. To accomplish
good results the spray must be a
forceful one used abundantly and from
above the fruit.

IDEA FOR FLOWER LUNCHEON
Definite Color Scheme, strictly Al
hered to, Is Perhaps the
First Requisite.

Flower luncheonS are in order now
and a wealth of bloom is easily OBJ
tainable as decorations for the table
and the rooms. Wild flowers from the
woods may be had for the plucklng
and the simplest Of these wild dos
SONS will be surprisingly beautiful II
care is used in their arrangement. A
definite color scheme must be decided
upon and everything must be in har-
mony with it-even to the color of the
dishes in which the luncheon IS
served. For example, one can give
what may be called daffodil lunch
con. Use a table cover of yellow sat
cen in daffodil tint, with a center
piece and border of lace. The flow
ers themselves should be placed on
the table in a tall vase and the china
used should be gilt-edged, or even
plain white. The napkins may be
folded in the form of cones and filled
with a small bunch of daffodils.
If your dining room is green a COM
bination of white and yellow, or pink.
is suitable, while ferns or anything
green may be depended upon to har-
monte with any floral colors. Place
cards should be of water-color paper
decorated with the flower one has
chosen as the color scheme. The
flowers for the places may be of diff
,ferent kinds, provided they harmon
lie with the general color scheme. 1t
is frequently advisable to make this
choice according to the individual
floral preference of each guest Ii
you happen to know them. At this
season of the year there is nothing
more appetizing than fower-deco-
rated table, and profusion of them
will secure the success of your lunch

The New Autumn Suit.

Wise buyers always wait until the
last moment before selecting either
material or model for their suit, for
autumn usually sees some distinct
difference in cut and trimming. If the
first suit of the winter is carefully
and thoughtfully chosen it is probable
that it will remain in excellent style
throughout the season.
There are rumors that velvet will
be a favorite material for winter, and
that means that corduroy and vel
yeteen will both be much worn. As
to color, the wise ones predict q
great rush for green.

Thew Didn't Have to Chance.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con-
spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any one can af-
ford it and SO nourishing that every
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur-
ance of muscle and brain.
The Quaker Oats Company meets
all demands in the way it packs
Quaker Oats; regular size packages
and the large size family package;

SHRUBS MAKE FOR BEAUTY
Tonic Is Good Thing for a Debili-
tated Plant as Well as Human
Organism.

If you have shrubs that do not seem
to be doing well it is good plan to
dig out the sod for radius of couple
of feet and replace with rich soil and
well-rotted manure in proportion of
about two-thirds soil and one-third
manure.
We always have a heap of we'll
rotted manure in one corner of the
garden or orchard, where it will be
handy for use about the yard, and
when we see a plant or tree that
needs nourishment we go to this heap
and get part of wheelbarrow load,
finish the filling with good soil and
fill in about the sick plant and keep It
we'll stirred for few days, and the
way that plant booms is a caution.
You should understand that plants
have ailments just as human beings
do, and there is apt to be trouble with
the circulation and assimilative or
gans, and you should proceed accord
ingly. Remember that tonic is u
good thing for a debilitated plant as
well as the human organism.
Sometimes we have a tree or shrub
that is too erratic in its growth and
may need cutting back to cause it
to assume a more pleasing shape.
Where your lawn is small and not
suitable for large trees there are
scores of small yet beautiful speci-
mems that can be used.
In the blue spruce there is an ever
green that grows slowly and will not
crowd the view, and yet it's gorgeous
color and symmetry of form make it
the king of ornamentals; then there
is the arbor vitae, a beautiful tree
that adds grace to the landscape, and
its vivid green is charming.-J. o.

$1,725,00 was accrued, one contract
or alone spending $150,000 in adver-
tisements in single year. The money
thus raised was usually, for particu-
lar purpose, such as the improvement
of London, the purchase of Tompkins'

Gus harbors.

Much Cultivation Needed.

Fruit and vegetables require plenty
of moisture for maturing with size and
high flavor. When the weather is dry
keep the cultivator going between the
rows, repeating every three or four
DAYS. Use a cultivator with many
small shovels, and run the shovels
only two or three inches deep. Guilt
vate the plants when they are young
to make them grow rapidly, and when
they are older to furnish moisture for
good maturity.
