Some Suggestions That May Be Of
Help to Young Housekeepers.

The white muslin curtains, long
ones or sash, are prettier for bed
rooms. and ecru lace are pretty for
living room. sitting room or parlor, as
you may call it, while lace for dining
room and hall windows, upstairs and
down, the colored madras curtains for
den or library. II in your living
room you should have window seat
you can get three-quarters' length cur
tains, SO as not to cut them Off. a
white iron bed and white chiffoniere,
white chair, etc. and bedspread
made of white dotted muslin lined
with white or some delicate color,
with shams to match, also dresser
scarfs of same material are pretty for
a young girls room. A room fixed up
with yellow and white, with brass
bed. is pretty for guest chamber. A
white lace spread. lined with yellow
china silk, is pretty for a covering for
a brass bed.

KEEPING THE HAIR RIGHT.
Proper Way Of Drying and Cleaning
Woman's "crown of Glory"

There is never the slightest doubt
as to when the hair is clean, for when
rubbed between forefinger and thumb
1t squeaks little if all dust has been
removed. However great may be the
temptation to dry the tresses over a
radiator or before a register, 1t must
be resisted, and dried by rubbing with
towels, letting the mass hang loose
at times while resting the arms. The
most attention must be given the
scalp, for the lower will dry itself. II
there is the slightest disposition to
waviness, when dry. only comb
should be used in removing the snarls,
for a brush straightens too much
No application is better for luster-
less hair than salt
Rub well into the roots of the hair
at night, then tie up in large hand
kerchief or wear nightcap.
Brush out the salt in the morning.
Several applications will show a
marked improvement in the appear.
ance of the hair.
Put a tablespoonful of ammonia
into a basin of tepid water and dip
the brushes down into it until they
are clean. Dry with the bristles down,
and they will be like new.

Dainty Cases and Sacks.

For the dressiest of town costumes
are new card cases covered first with
white satin, then with old venise lace.
Others are covered with lace net, en-
broidered, and inset with tiny lace mo-
tifs. Little sacks for the fan or opera
glasses are made to match-such a
pretty fancy; and one easy of achieve
ment with the new fad for hand needle
work. The covers,for sacks and porte
cartes are removable and SO easily
cleaned.

a LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
OF Painting Requirements VIII Save
Much Expense.

When one sees the surface of q
house or other building scaling, or
peeling, or spotted or blistered, or
showing other symptoms Of paint dis

has been on the job, and that poor
paint was used-or possibly that a
good painter had been dominated by
a property-owner who knew nothing
about paint
1t is an easy matter to be informed
on paint and painting. A complete
painting guide, including a book Of
color schemes. either for exterior or
interior-speci6cati for all kinds
of painting,-and an instrument for
detecting adulteration in paint ma

may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,

owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
Then, every houseowner should
make 1t point to get only we'll
known reliable brands in buying his
materials. Pure white lead is espe-
cially important, or the paint will
not prove satisfactory. Tho famous
Dutch Boy Painter" trademark of
National Lead Company, the largest
makers of pure white lead, is an abb
soluter guarantee of the purity and
quality of the white lead sold under

The tent will accommodate two per-
sons. 1t is 12 feet by 10 feet and 7
feet 6 inches high in the middle and is
lined inside with turkey red twill,
which gives 1t cozy atmosphere. In
the lining are many pockets for stow
ing such articles as there is no danger
of losing through their attractiveness
in the eyes of the natives. The tent
is double ridged, SO that second can
vas may be spread over the first. This
affords greater protection from the
elements. In the heat of the day it
serves to keep the interior cooler. On
either side of the inner tent, beneath
the caves of the outer covering, is
space for some of the boys" as the
native bearers are called, and some of
the baggage. The tent is provided
with veranda in front, and a folding
canvas bathtub may be attached to the
rear. canvas water cooler, which
might be mistaken for a drum, will
hang outside the tent when it is set
up. There are also canvas buckets for
transporting the water from the spring

1t is said by those who know that

and 35 pounds of potassium, and costs
$z3. To supply enough nitrogen To
produce the best yield of corn grown
by the Illinois experiment station in
1908, would require Az tons per acre
of this $23 fertilizer, but enough phos-
phorus could be bought in this ferti-
lizer for S. an acre, or in raw rock
phosphate for 80 cents. The entire
crop of corn is not worth what the
fertilizer would cost, if We supplied
enough nitrogen or potassium to grow
the crop.
How Fertilizers Injure the Soil.
Commercial fertilizers are too expen-
sive to use in sufficient quantity %
supply as much plant food as the crops
remove, aid as commonly used they
serve. in part as soil stimulants, and
this indirectly Injuries the soil. To IL
lustrate: Suppose 200 pounds per acre
are used at a cost of $3.50, and a Co
bushel crop of corn harvested. This
removes from the soil about twice as
much phosphorus, 10 times as much
