Commercial Value Of sunaower.

In some countries, notably in the
Russian provinces Of the Caucasus,
the sunflower serves other purposes
besides ornamenting gardens with Its
huge golden blossoms. The seeds are
used to make oil, which is employed
both in the manufacture of soap and
in cooking. The stems and leaves
are burned and the ashes used TO
make potash. Last year the sunfiower
factories Of the Caucasus produced To-
600 tons of potash.

THE COMPLAINT-DESK FACE.
Evolution That Change OF Position Made in
a COuntenance.

We have heard much about the
"bicycle face" the automobile face,
the baseball face" but we have
heard but little about the Complaint
desk face" That there is such a
face is true from an incident related
by a friend recently. Said he: You
know every department store Of
standing has a complaint desk. We
have one in our store. About a year
ago young man was given this po-
'sition. ] remember we'll what a
happy, cheerful countenance he had.
His face even in repose wore fas-
cinating smile. I happened to see
him the other night in passing out
Of the store, and would hardly be-
lieve my own eyes. l had not seen
him for almost year, and what a
change had come over his face. In
place Of happy, cheerful counte-
nance his face bore morose, stern,
harsh, austere, forbidding expression,
and this all through complaints of
customers" 1t takes but a short
time to change a beautiful counte-
nance when 1t has to face continually
the ugly side of life. Some people
may have reason to complain, but
many of us complain from a mere
habit of complaining. To live con
tinually all the bright hourst of the
day in complaining atmosphere will
eventually so harden thes delicate
strings Of our nature nat khey viii

The high top directoire boot comes

Double motor wells, joined only at

bangles and beads and fringes of
silk aud leather are popular among
the leathern girdles and shopping

Metallic ribbon belts, finished with
buckles of the same tone, are seen
on many of the smartest pumps and
one-eyelet ties.
There is a gracefulness about
swaying fringes that is perhaps the
reason for their fixed place in the
hearts of womankind.
The advance styles show that the
skirt made with the snug fitting yoke
will be among the smartest shown
in the next few months.
Linen Dutch collars, with two rows
of Cluny lace and an edge of the
same lace, are exceedingly pretty,
and they launder we'll.
Irish crochet still holds it's own
and is used freely upon the simplest
wash gowns as well as upon the most
elaborate evening dresses.
The black velvet band which is
worn about the neck of the collarless
gowns is fastened at the side with a
small brooch or fancy buckle.
Rich satlns and silks are employed
to make the big roses with which not
only hats but corsages are garnished.
These huge roses do not fade like the
ordinary artificial flower.

sERMoN ON NEATNEss.

Use only straight up and down

Whatever you do, allow nothing

The princess model, which is so

DO not wear shirt waists and skirts

This cuts the figure in half, and
lessons greatly the effect of height.

if not, make them as narrow as pos

THE SECRET on OLD AGE.

A novel method of attaining long
evity was practiced by Mrs. Yetta
Schulman, who died recently in New
York at the advanced age of 105
years. Mrs. Schulman paid no par
ticular attention to points Of diet, ex-
ercise, sleep, ETC., which usually fig
ure largely in rules laid down for
those growing old. She believed that
the lives of aged persons could be
prolonged if they associated constant
ly, or nearly so, with young people,
and she apparently verified her the
DRY. for she spent the greater part Of
her time in company with children,
even taking part in their sports with
lively interest. Leslie's Weekly.
