pEARER BREAD.

The report Of IN advance in the
price of bread as result of the rise in
the values Of wheat and four was to
be expected. Wheat being the raw ma
terial Of -four and Hour the raw ma
terial of bread, an increase in the cost
of the first, whether natural or artin-
cial, necessitates proportionate ad-
Vances in the more finished products.
The only question is whether the up
ward tendencies have not been used
by combinations and manipulators to
ill their own pockets out of the needs
of the people. There is no doubt that
a considerable part of the advance in
wheat is due to the small amount OF
last years crop still available for mar
keting. There is general belief that
this legitimate advance has been ex-
aggerated by spectators, says the
Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph AS far
as this is the case we may hope that
it will be temporary, and that the har-
vesting of a good crop this year will
restore prices to fair basis. There
are also indications that combination
of milling interests has increased the
old margin between the prices of
wheat and -four, and thus established
another squeeze on consumers. These
means of enhancing the cost of prod
ucts cannot be carried very far with
out inevitably increasing the cost of
bread.

SAVER OF TIME AND TROUBLE
Wofnan's Testimony to the Value Of
the Button Bag-WouId Not Be
Without Ii.

II wouldn't be without it," said a
woman as she lifted a gay cretonne
bag from a hook by her bureau,
opened it out on the bed, and without
fishing among countless buttons,
easily found the special button needed
for her husbands coat.
This bag was given to me years
ago and has been the greatest con-
venience. You see the way the cord
is put in allows me to open it fiat
enough to get at the buttons readily
yet without splitting.
Tell you the dimensions? Certainly.
Cut circle of cretonne-or whatever
material you like-14 inches in di-
ameter and line it with plain colored
silk or cotton goods. If you wish, a
layer OF cotton batting can be slipped
between, but this not necessary if
the materials are firm.
Sew around the inner edge of the
circle small brass rings, about an inch
and half apart. Through these rings
run heavy covered cord the same color
as the lining. This can be bought,
but If the right shade cannot be found,
it can easily be made by sewing bias
strips Of the lining turning it and
stuffing with thick white cord.
"The cord is cut in two pieces, liz
inches long, run in in opposite direc-
tions. This draws easily and when
open make circle IL or IL inches in
diameter, thus giving the bag broad
opening but preventing the sides from
falling so fiat that the contents drop
out.
IT made that small fiat pincushion
and sewed it to the bottom. You see
keep it stuck full of needles threaded
in different colored silks and cottons
to be ready for use at minutes no
tice."

BEST OF MILK MAKING FEEDS
Protein and Carbohydrates Are TWO
General Divisions Into Which
Food Is Divided.

Because a feed is watery is no proof
that it is a good feed for the making
of milk
The blood refuses to be fooled, and
will accept for it's making only GER
tain proportions of water and solids,
asserts H. A. Richie, in Farm Life.
The old idea that wet feed makes
lots of milk is exploded.
The best milk producing feed is that
which is the most perfectly blanched.
as to it's constituents. Protein and
carbohydrates are the two general di-
visions into which the food can be di-
vided, and the proper amount of each.
must be fed.
There is no possibility of getting
away from the above fact, and every
new dairy feed that comes to the
front must prove its value because of
its intrinsic worth, on the above basis.
Glover is one of the best milk-ma-
king foods we will ever have, because
of it's richness in protein and its great.
digestibility when cut at the proper
stage.
The way this feed has come into
popular favor during the past 20
years shows something of its merit,
for these 20 years have comprised a
period more than any other in which
the intrinsic value of dairy feeds has
been challenged.
Alfalfa is even better than clover
as a milk producer, when it is fed in
the form of hay. When fed green it is
equally valuable, but some of the men
that buy milk for bottling and con-
densing purposes say that it gives
strong favor to the milk and they
discourage its use as a green forage.

SERVES TO PROTECT THE HAT
Little Continuance Guaranteed to
Greatly Reduce the Size of
the Millinery Bills.

Here's a little advice that if COM
monty adopted would save hundreds
and even thousands of dollars to the
husbands of this country. 1t is SIM
ply a round piece of waterproof silk,
the edge of which is hemmed to form
a pocket for gathering string. 1t
is so made that it could be slipped
over almost any hat and would in
case of sudden shower protect it
from the ruinous dampness. The pro-
tector was devised by Pennsylvania
man who has evidently known the ex-
quisite pain of having his wife
caught in the rain on the very day he
had sent check big, enough to sup
port a home missionary for half a
year to pay for the new spring bon
net she was wearing. Such expert
ences are not pleasant, so thought
this ingenious man. If every woman
would just make one of these adjust
able protectors and carry it in her
handbag whenever she went out,
think of the money that would be
saved to the husbands of the land.
The drawstring underneath will en-
able the cover to he drawn up to fit
almost any hat.

CUFFS FCR ELBOW SLEEVES.
Accessory That Promises to Make
for Comfort During the Hot
Days of Summer.

The dressmakers continue to insist
on the long close-ftting sleeve and the
woman who dotes on comfort is in
despair. Anything more unpleasant
than the process of peeling off long
tight sleeve, inch by inch, when one
comes home on a hot day can scarcely
be imagined. A glimmer of light,
however, appears on the sleeve hori-
zon in the form of cool little transpar-
ent cuffs set into the lower end of the
sleeve. Sometimes these cuffs are of
Irish lace, sometimes of very sheer
batiste, tucked or prettily embroidered
by hand. They are simply basted into
the sleeve and may be removed when
Numbered. The sleeve itself is, of
course, cut off several inches above
the wrist, and as the little cuff opens
up its outer edge with buttons and
loops, there is enough roominess OBJ
tainable to push the sleeve upward on
very warm days.

the SCIENCE OF SHOPPING.

A special course in the public
schools to train girls in the science Of
shopping is proposed by the New York
educational authorities, and might
with advantage be substituted fer fads
of questionable utility which now occu-
by altogether too much time. 1t is
far more important for future wives
and mothers to understand what diet
is most nutritious, and how to know
good meats and fish, and the best
fruits and vegetables, than that they
shall be clever free-hand artists of ex-
perts at tonic sofia, says the Chicago
Journal. There is all the difference in
the world between merely buying and
buying the best for the money. And
perhaps the knowledge that the girl of
his heart understood the expenditure
of hard-earned dollars to the best adj
vantage might prove just the right in
centive to young man of limited in
come.

ground by punching little holes with
the tool, as indicated in the sketch.
Leave one-quarter of an inch plain sill
yer on each edge for a finish Rule a
line, if necessary, and keep the stip-
ping inside the line. For those who
have never done the stippled work, a
few words will not come amiss. The
idea is to fill in a background of tiny
holes, leaving the design in relief.
Hold the stippling tool vertically, and
either punch it down with the hand or
use small hammer or mallet.
When the work is completed, cut
out the silver, bend back the half-inch
finish, bend up the corners, and, last
of all, bend up the sides. Put the lit
tie silver brads in through the holes
IN the corner flaps, and the dish is
ready for use. The pencil lines may
be lightly brushed off with a little of
the polish, but do not polish the heads
too much, as they are only silver
plated. This will not matter, however,
as the brads are on the inside of the
dish.
The materials required are: Four
teen inches of No. 81 German silver,
at 20 cents, six silver plated brads, at
three cents, and a stippling tool, at
Is cents.

Persons who watch the course of
legislation believe they see in a meas
ure recently passed by the legislature
an effort to restore to more general
use the so-called third degree" and
sweat box" methods, says the Pitts
burg Post. If that be the purpose of
the act in question, humane persons
will hope for the governors veto of
it. The third degree" is a brutal
relic of barbarism. No doubt it is very
effective in fixing a given crime on
some person whom the police have ar
rested. Neurotic persons, confronted
with tortures that would have given
credit to the inquisition, it is alleged,
have confessed crimes they did not
commit. But the third degree" has
afforded too-zealous Lecoqs and
Holmses the opportunity to make rec
ords. 1t gives them an opportunity to
attach to some poor, quaking, quailing
suspect the motive for crime and to
weave about him a circumstantial
web, which seems to drive away all
doubt when, by word or act, the sus-
pect. in mental or even physical agony,
acknowledges guilt that belongs to
another. Such coercion is not in &C
cord with the principle of law which
presuppOses the prisoners innocence
until proved to be guilty before a jury
of his peers. 1t does more harm than
sCod.

Troubles with Dyes.

Sometimes when gowns or trim
mings are dyed, not all the little laces
or embroideries come out alike. At
first this seems an unsurmountable
calamity, but a clever woman may
work wonders with the fabrics if she
will spend time and patience over it.
A saucerful Of dye may be mixed up,
and by trying several combinations
it is possible to match the shade ex-
actly. Then with paint brush, very
lightly and daintily, she may go over
the parts which did not take the dye.
She may have to go over it several
times before it will take well and, al
though the process takes time and is
tedious, the splendid results are well
worth the effort.

Adiuncts to the Dairy Farm.

Those who make the highest sue
cess in dairying turn to either direct
or indirect money account-butter-fat
skim milk, calves and manure. All
of these are valuable, and the manure
is of more real value than most dairy
men make out of it. By some, calves
are considered of no value. This is a
great mistake. Where pure-bred
stock is used, nearly all of the calves
can either be used or sold for breed
ing purposes. The demand for prom
Using heifers of even grade stock is
very great. In all cases, a good profit
can be made from calves by feeding
them skim milk and selling them for
veal. The extra weight put on them
in finishing them for veal represents
as much or more gain as can be Sc
cured by feeding the skim milk to
pigs.

hins Inconspicuous.

The eternal striving toward hipless-
ness brings forward all sorts of in
genious ideas. Now comes the notion
of attaching the petticoat to the bot
tom of the corset by means of line
Of the metal snap fastenings. As the
modish woman never thinks of wear
ing more than one petticoat, this is
quite a practical plan, so far as petit
coats of satin or other dark fabrics
are concerned. 1t must be remembered,
however, that most of these metal
snap buttons are anything but rust
less, and if ones summer petticoats
are of washable fabrics some other
scheme of hiplessness must be de-
vised.

The shade trees have been exposed
to great peril through the ravages of
insects, and now come the unhappy
tidings that the chestnut trees are
falling victims to disease for which
no cure appears to have been found.
The trouble is particularly notable on
Long Island, the fine specimens OF
chestnuts on the estates of wealthy
men owning summer homes in that To-
cality being among the victims. The
ailment is believed to be communi-
Gated through the sap, and the most
determined effort has failed to dis.
cover the real cause or find remedy.
The chestnut tree stands for a highly
useful purpose, and if It must "go''
great will be the loss involved.
