Value to The Public of
Advepfisin6


The matter of advertising is
one that we keep pretty close tab
on, with the idea of lettering the
service of the News both to the
readers of the paper and to the
advertiser. We have no COM
plant to make of the work solar.
Our adver Using patronage has
81 own in very satisfactory
manner. The merchants and
| others who have used the
columns of the News as a medium
for placing their wares before
the public, or call attention to
their wants, have been well
pleased with the service given.
There is a great value attached
to we'll prepared advertisement.
To those who receive the paper
regularly it not only sets out the
business of the advertiser but
mentions the line of goods then
on hand for sale, often withprice
given. If one needs certain
article of any line carried in stock
by country merchants, a look
through the News advertise
ments will locate the place where
such goods are kept in stock,
and often give the price. There
is another thing in this adver-
Using business not often consid-
cred by the buyer, and that is
that better lines of goods are
kept from which to select by
merchants who are liberal adver-
Users, than by those who take
less pains to inform the public
of their business. There is also
a reason for that state of things.
The merchant who advertiseS is
an up-to-date man, who believes
that oftener he can turn his
money at small profit in year,
the more money he makes for
that year. There is another con-
sideration in trading with good
advertiser, and that is that he
keeps his stock cleaned out so
that there are no out of date ma
chimes, calicoes, suits or shoes.
nor out of style hats to be impos-
ed on the customer. If a liberal
advertiser finds a line of goods
being left on his hands he adver-
tises clearing sale at reduced
prices, thus clearing his ware
room or shelves of old, shop
worn stock. The liberal adver-
tiser has no Weatherbeaten ma
chinery about his ware house,
no last year wagons nor mouse
eaten canvas, no dust covered or
moth eaten cloth or garments.
You will find that his stock is
well arranged, that he is on hand
for business and knows what he
has in stock, and the condition of
things also. Advertising pays
pays the advertiser and the buy
er. Read the adver tisments in
the News. They are business
message to you. Next week we
mean to say something more on
this subject, for it has more of
real vital interest to this county
than the political tricks of the
masters of that art.
The boys in their Halloween
sports contented them selves
with only disarranging things
in imitation of the spirits who
were anciently supposed to walk
the earth on all saints night.
With one exception no real dam

small out house was up set and
crushed. In this case the owner
caught two of the boys apd is
thinking of prefering charges
against them. Boys are allowed
great latitude on Halloween night

fully, good naturedly, without

for, but with the coming of the dog
day season, if one wishes to preserve
ones flower acre, care and forethought
must be exercised.
August Work
August should prove busy time aside
from the mere work of holding the
weeds in check. Not all may know that
the frequent stirring of the soil that
this requires serves a double purpose.
A loosening of the soil about once a
week not only takes less time than a
fortnightly hoeing-keeping the plants
healthy and vigorous by admitting air
to their roots and inviting the moisture
of the heavy August dcws-but it Gre
ates an actual mulch of loose soil that
proves invaluable in preserving the
deeper moisture
This is the gardeners dust mulch"
and plants thus treated require water
ing only in times of actual drouth
When watering becomes actually neces-
sary, it should be given in generous
quantities, Stimulating a rain-that is,
enough should be given to thoroughly
soak the ground to the depth Of the
roots. Plants SO watered will not re-
quire another drenching for at least
week, even in the driest of weather.
Watering the Lawn
This is the correct way to water a lawn
also. The common practice of sprink-

Ponds upon the care given. The soil
should be often stirred with hand Gull
tivator or a forkhoe. This is especially
necessary during dry weather, as ground
frequently stirred retains moisture far
better than if allowed to form hard
crust
Always loosen up the surface after "a
hard rain, never allowing it to bake, but
care must be used not to hoe too deeply
and injure the young roots, which would
prevent blooming. Another point: Cut
Oft all flowers while they are still per-
feet. Allowing them to fade upon the
bush tends to exhaust strength which
otherwise goes to form new growth,
thereby increasing the number of blooms.
A mulch of lawn clippings will obvi-
ate the need of frequent hoeings. Sup
ply water in drenching quantities in dry
weather. Give them good winter pro-
lection the first year.
The Care of Rose Trees
If nildew attacks the plants, spray the
entire bush, both sides of the lea1 cs,
with solution of some good white soap
containing no free alkali. Use this
formula One-quarter of pound
thinly shaved and dissolved in an ordi,
nary pailful of boiling water. Add to
this five pailfuls of cold water and use
at once, as it thickens too much in cool
ing to be used in a sprayer. The or
binary pail holds about three gallons.

sun and the wind make sport of them.
! know of no remedy SO good as that of
prevention, which is to wear wells heavy
enough to protect the face, and long
sleeves and gloves for the hands. Lemon
juice will help remove freckles.
Most of the preparations for removing
freckles contain corrosive sublimate; the
other name for it is bichloride of mer-
curry. Five grains Of the bichloride of
mercury to an ounce of water is the
strength generally recommended.
The frecklcs are coloring matter de-
posted in the deeper layers of the skin,
and in order to remove the superficial
layers of the skin must be destroyed.
This, of course, reddens the skin and
irritates it to a certain extent The
freckles cannot be removed without
doing this.

In the absence of manure, bone-dust IS
an excellent substitute; it should be ap-
piled at the rate of one pound for every
square yard of the surface, and should
be thoroughly mixed with the soil to the
depth of a foot.
If one may choose the kind of soil, a
clayey soil for roses far surpasscs the
best garden loan This is especially true
in the South, where the adhesiveness of
the clay, causing it to cling closely to the
stem, prevents drying out. This also
serves as root protection in the winters
OF the North, and the plants seem to de-
rive certain nourishment from the CLAW
itself. ~ 10y
Leaf-mold proves excellent food for
the rose, and makes good winter pro-
lection if spread four or five inches
deep over the beds at the beginning of
winter, to be worked into the soil in the
spring. A soil too stiff may be light
ened by the addition of coarse sand.
Keeping Over Winter
Many skilled gardeners spade in a two
inch layer of unleached ashes in autumn,
so that the SHOWS and rains may reach it
by spring, taking care that it does not
touch the stems. An inch layer of wood
SCOT is also very beneficial; but neither
OF these should be applied during the
summer, nor be added to wet, soggy
soils. 90
Treatment of Plants by Mail
If the roses are received at the plant
ing season, and appear somewhat dry,
place the united package in tepid water
the depth of their roots, for half an hour.
Always set the plants an inch deeper
than they were set in the nursery. AT
ter partly filling the hole with earth,

other bit of absorbent cotton apply the
powder. The old-fashioned powder
puffs should be discarded. Pieces Of
flannel and small squares of chamois
have been used to replace them, but they
also should be given up, for they, as
well as the powder -puffs, receive ilnpuri-
ties from the face every time that they
are used, and will return them to the
skin. A piece of absorbent cotton,
which can be thrown away at once after
its use, is much the best thing.
One will find very useful in sumner
the little books which contain number
of pieces of paper with little powder On
them. These remove the dirt from The
face and the perspiration, and take off
the shiny look, which makes one appear
warm and uncomfortable.
Care of Sunburn
If the face has become sunburned dur
ing the day, avoid washing until the heat
has gone out of it. Water is most irri-
tating to sunburned and delicate skin.
Cleanse the face with little cold cream
applied with piece OF absorbeI1. cotton.
Applications of a good rice powder will
also relieve the burn, affording as it does
protection from the air
1t is the delicate complexion that is
burned by the sun: those which are not
SO delicate tan at once without the initial
process of sunburn. Tan is often diff
cult to remove. Lemon juice is good
for it. After washing the lace apply
the juice from the cut end OF a half OF
lemon.
Lemon juice is good for the skin and
improves the complexion. One should
not apply it to the sore and irritated skin
of sunburn. If one must wash the face
after sunburn, take a folded towel and
wiring it out of water as hot as possible
and apply it to the face. The heat will
relieve the burn.
Curing Freckles
Worse than sunburn or tan are
freckles, the blight of the most delicate
and lovely skins. Those compilations
which are cameo-like in the coloring are
the ones than freclsle the soonest. The

method must necessarily be different.
Next is necessary binding piece for the
crown and the inner circle of the brim.
Cut these two pieces and fold over a
seam-width on each long edge. Fold
one piece through the center and lay it
aside to bind the large circular crown
into Tam shape after its edge has been
gathered and the gathers stroked
Pin one edge of the second piece
around the cut edge of the headsizc
circle, making it stand up like band and
with both seam edges toward the boned
or underside of the brim Sew this
seam, then sew to the standing band a
length of collarbone, the lower edge of
the bone even with the seam-line just
sewed.
The Crown Foundation
Lap the bone about an inch at the
back, then snip the circular edge of the
brim seam and turn that and the seam
on the lower edge of the binding band
upward, SO it will cover the bone. At
the fold-line of the seam at the upper
edge of this band sew a second length
OF bone, tapping it and fastening it at
the back like the first.
This band thus does not bind the
edge, but forms a standing band about
three-quarters of an inch wide, to which
the crown will be attached later. A fac
ing, cut like the band and henlmed to it
on the inside, will finish it neatly and
conceal the bones.
Building the Brim
The outer brin-wire should be placed
next. The piping bone is held to the
underslde Of the brim with the left hand
and sewed from the upperside. After
the outer wire is in place, divide the dis
lance from the headsize wire, and in the
space place two more wires, equal dis
tances apart. Lap all the cords and
fasten securely at the back.
Bind the edge of the brim. Insert the
gathered edge of the crown in the bind
| ing, the center-back mark of the crown
even with the joining seam of the bind
ing and the centerfront even with the
one-half mark on the binding Distrib-
ute the gathers evenly between and
basic the binding in place; it may be re-
moved when the hat is Numbered, to ia
cilitate the ironing process.
| Another method that will avoid the
necessity for removing the crown bind
| ing when the hat is soiled is to make a
narrow hem on the crown portion and
run fine tape through it, drawing it ur
to the required headsize.
Material for the Brim
| Cut the brim proper from the lawn
! The edge may be left straight or cut into
