1t is both profitable and interesting
to study the peculiar effect of water
upon soil, and upon vegetable life in
the soil. But plants cannot feed on
the soil unless water is frequently
supplied; neither can the plants VAL
liable in cornbelt farming feed upon
the soil unless the water is promptly
removed. This problem of getting
the water to the soil, and then get
ting it away must be constantly in
mind, when, studying drainage in any
Of it's phases.
In some countries the soil is sup
piled with water by irrigation, in
which case the amount supplied, the
time applied and place at which it
Is applied are easily regulated, but il,
this country the water is supplied
by rain, which comes unbidden and
uncontrolled, and although one of the
greatest blessings, it often becomes
source of great injury. 1t has been
truly said that it fall on the just
and the unjust alike, but after it
falls, no rule of fairness is observed.
and it may bless one man and in
lure his neighbor.
1t serves it's purpose where It falls.
and there is no place where it can be
%1,nt in foil how &c
needed, but where the rainfall from
one place is allowed to accumulate
at another, or where it is not allowed
to ow away, it becomes at once a
source of injury So the bare ques-
ton is, how shall we remove the
water after it has served it's purpose
without damages to other soil? No
method has yet been discovered that
Is practical except to allow it to flow
by force of the laws of Nature. But
if allowed to flow on or near the sur
race it injuries the soil along it's path,
where if allowed to flow a reasonable
depth below the surface no harm is
done, and the effect is even benefi-
rial to the soil above it's road.
So we may say that the first re-
qusite is to get the water down to a
safe depth below the surface. If the
water is allowed to stay on the soil
more than one day, even where it
originally FELL it Injuries farm crops;
for that reason we may add: Get
down Immediately. 1t will do out lit
tie good to get it down unless Il way
is provided by which it may flow
away. This way must have slope
enough to cause the water to flow,
and be large enough to hold the vol
ume of water to be moved, and the
slope of the waterway, or drain, as
we call it, are usually items which
are fixed by nature and both effect
the required size unless we know the
slope and volume. Then here is an

But il isn't, as thousands of women

CONSERVATISM conserva-
tism.
Just as only the rich can ever afford
to buy cheap materials so only the
rich can afford to buy ultra styles.
The woman who can afford to pay
$50 for a conservative suit would be
very extravagant to pay $25 for an
ultra suit.
1t is only the woman who buys a
completely new outfit each year-the
kind of woman who goes into shop,
orders what pleases her and then as
minor consideration inquiries the
price-who can afford extreme styles.
Last January one of my girls came
to me in high glee with what she called
Il bargain.
1t was an extremely nice suit The
cloth was good and the trimming I'M
usually pretty.
She bought it at a sale and paid less
FOR it than some of her crowd had paid
for much less beautiful suits.
1t looked well on her. But it wasn't
a bargain by any means.
For it was of so extreme a style that
it simply couldn't help being painfully
passe the next year.
Since her purchase was irrevocable
and anything | might have said would
only have disturbed her happiness

quently ensue from bone lodging in
the throat or windpipe.
No one would suppose that so min
ute an object as cinder in the eye
would cause so much pain and annoy
ance. 1t feels as though an ounce of
metal filings, rather than a fraction of
grain, had found it's way into the
eye cavity.
A deft manipulation of the eyelashes
will eject the cinder without further
trouble For example, when it rests
under the upper lid, which is usually
the case, push back the upper lid as
far as possible, then close the eye and
pull down the upper lid over the lower
lid, hold it there for moment, then
with the fingers gently encircle the
eye, rubbing towards the corner. Now
work the eyeball as though describing
circle, and then with a clean, sift
handkerchief wipe downwards over the
iashes of the lower lid In this way
the lashes will bring out the sub
stances and the cloth will remove it
from the lashes.
Should the first trial not prove sue
cessful repeat it, for in most cases.

so admirably interpreted by Mr.. Fitch

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-One OF the
unusual features of the first half OF
the theatrical season, just closing. has
been the shifting plays. Some pro-
auctions have proved such phenomenal
successes that extended engagements
did not suffice to satiate the public
demand for them, SO in many instan-
ces it has been necessary. to Secura
theaters where long runs had been
planned for plays that did not prove
success fer an Over-run season for
more fortunate attractions. Notable
examples have been THE Chocolate
Soldier" which has moved twice;
The Climax" with an equal number
Of changes; Paid in F'ull' and ''The
Travelling Salesman

And now Bernard Shaw has upset
custom by writing a play that it will
take four hours to act and which is
not divided into separate acts. 1t is a
kind of continuous performance,
though the author is willing that the
curtain should drop at any interval
desired by the audience. How, may l
arise to inquire, is anyone to know
when the audience wants to go out
and oil its tonsils? Will it be proper
for some sufferer to Move that we
now take a ten-minute recess" or
will the ushers be required to inter
view each patron separately TO ascer-
tain his or her wishes Anyway, it's
great idea, from whichever angle
you view it. F'rohman has secured the
contract for the play and its produc-
ton will be one of the features of
New York's next theatrical season.

stands the structural cavity, whereas,
the average person is totally unra-
miliar with the anatomy of the nose.
When forceps fail to reach the sub
stance, an operation is necessary, but
seldom is this required.
A substance lodged in this larynx
usually stops at the narrowest part or
the passage. which is just at the upper
edge of what is called the acricoid
cartilage, that hard, round ring of the
throat commonly known as Adams
apple" Seldom does it remain here
for any length of time, for efforts of
the subject will either send it down
further or bring it up.
When the substance reaches the
trachea this provokes choking, which
is a serious phase, for unless removed
within a reasonable time, the patient
cannot swallow When the object is
large it may also press upon the wind
pipe, preventing breathing. When the
substance cannot be removed, and may
pass through the stomach without in
jury, then endeavor to push it down.
When an object has gone beyond a
certain point, by striking the victim

this method proves Intellectual, then

having long strong fingers, should at
tempt to dislodge the object. The suf-
ferer's head is placed far back and
the fingers thrust down the throat, re-
gardless of choking or vomiting, and
out When it cannot be brought up,
then it should be thrust down, and
may thus pass through the stomach.
An emetic is then given, which
should produce vomiting and relaxa-
ton. When the patient cannot sWal-
low, holding a quantity of lobelia
tincture in the mouth and throat will
often cause vomiting
When these efforts prove impracti-
cal, send for physician, stating the
cause of the trouble. that he may
bring the necessary Instruments and
medicine.
