Millinery as business for wo.
men is not an experiment. 1t has
been tried successfully by
thousands of woman the world
over. Each year sees more wo
men thrown on their own resourc
es opening little millinery parlors
IN their own residence districts,
and succeeding, too, unless per
chance they try to do more than
they have the means, the strength
and the skill to do. The silly
viewpoint that "being in trade"
lowers woman's social standing

Millinery classes are to be
found IN most of the Young Wo-
mans Christion Associations, in
trade and domestic art schools of
colleges and universities. l do
not believe this course has been
introduced into the public schools
to any great extent. Unless you
are in touch with the Y. w. G. A.
and other classes, you will ind no
direct way toward becoming a
milliner save to work in the shop
of an established one. l do not
advise any girl to try to set up
her own shop until she has had
this apprenticeship; then you will
learn the right way and the quick
way of covering frames with net,
buckram. velvet, lace, straw;
making and arranging bandeaus;
shaping hats to suit faces, trim
ming, Judging materials, gauglng
the cost and selling price of a hat,
what to allow for the materials
and for your skill and time. Ty-
ing ribbon bows has become an
art, and girls are employed at
ribbon counters to tie bows for
customers, free of charge. "
This is hint which may give you
similar employment, or which
you can use when you set up your

Painting Trunks Of Fruit Trees.

A physician, who is interested
in fruit culture, wrote to Profes.
sor ii A. Surface, State Zoolo-
gist, Harrisburg, IN reference to
painting trees with white lead
and llnseed oil, as protection
against borers, as follows:
SIN the Reading Eagle, l saw a
report of your demonstration CIV
en- at the Poor House grounds at
Shlllington, showing the advan-
tage of painting trunks of trees
with white lead and raw llnseed
uil for borers. We have done
this, but since heard that some
Shillington fruit growers lost a
great mum Der of trees by this
method. write to you, asking
as to the advantage of this treat
ment, and If there is danger of
smotherlng the trees by painting
them"
The answer of State Zoologist
Surface follows:
"Replylng to your letter of re-
cent date, beg to say that am
deeply interested IN your state
ment that you have heard that
the Shlllngton fruitgrowers lost
a number of trees by painting
them with white lead and hnseed
oil. l must acknowledge that
this is news to me, as 1 have not
been informed concerning such
loss.
However, / do know that tens
OF thousands of trees have been
painted with this material in this
State without injury to them.
OF course, you understand that
l recommend painting only apple,
pear. and ounce trees, as there
Is no advantage in painting peach
trees. and the last named is more
delicate than the others. Never.
theless, two years ago l painted
my young peach trees, and this
year took my most abundant and
oest crop of peaches from the
trees that had been painted.
1 cannot believe that painting
has hurt the trees to which you
refer, unless "boiled" oil or i'm
pure material we're used. ]
should like to be informed as TO
| just what persons lost their trees
by painting them; how many they
lost, and under what conditions.
| should then like to trace up this
lnfor nation and see what mater.
ial was used, and where 1t was
procured. Ireally think there is
no danger when raw oil and pure
lead are used.
l have seen tens of thousands
of trees painted in Adams county
by the extensive fruit growers oi
that county without any danger
to any of the trees. They are
continuing it after tour or five
years of successful practice.
'The advantage of painting the
trunks of apple, pear and ounce
trees Is, that the borers are kept
out during the summer time, and
the rabbits and mice are not near
ly so liable TO gnaw them in the
winter. / think there is no ad-
vantage in painting peach and
plum trees (unless 1T be for rab
bits and mice), and, therefore, dt
not recommend it."

Puffed Wheat 10c Puffed Rce-15c

These are the foods invented by Prof. An
derson, and this is his curious process:
The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into
sealed guns. Then the guns are revolved for
sixty minutes in heat Of $50 degrees.
That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tre-
mendous.

MERCHANTS ARE "BLED"
Can You Wonder at Their Wry
Faces?

We sometimes find the merch-
ant in injured mood. He will not
talk advert sing and his face sug-
gests long drawn out day of cold
rain and lonesomeness. Albeit
the storekeeper is a cheerful indi-
vidual, but he has his troubles.
One of them is the intermittent,
yet ever occurring, charity re-
quests. 1t is surprising what a
merchant has to give away. He
cannot refuse Mrs. Brown, who
asks one dollar for the foreign
missionary, John Jones little girl
who is soliciting money for a
school ntertalnment, or Little
Willie Smith, who wants to buy
red caps for his baseball cIub-be-
cause, don't you see-he has the
family trade, or hopes to get it.
To refuse would injure his bust
ness. Sometimes when he grows
obdurate and gives without the
smiling face, he is reminded of the
fact that I'VE buy all our groceries
here" or I've don't want to take
this. Mr.. Merchant, unless you
feel that you ought to give it, y
with an insinuating infection.
And the merchant gives. Some
of the requests made by the SUBJ
scription method are commenda-
bic, but the merchant is always
the first man asked and he never
escapes. BY yelled threat or sug-
gestive look, be is held up'' many
times a week until he wonders
where it will all end.

of the work was due their captain,

Uttered Painful Accident

Mrs. Thomas Maxwell, wife of
a prosperous farmer living near
Humboldt met with a painful ac-

farm work. She was engaged in
milking when the COW kicked her,
knocking her over against the side
of the barn, from which protruded
a large spike. The spike struck
the victim on the breast cutting
an ugly cash and penetrating
quite distance. At this writing
the wound is not thought to be OF

MADE GOOD
Rev. ]. II. Boose Leaves Rockforr
for Pontiac, ILL.,. and Will
Labor I'm New Field

The announcement that Rev.
Boose is to terminate his work in
Rockford will be received with re-
gret by many outside of the cir.
cles of Westminster church as well
as within the congregation, which
feels the loss of its pastor deeply.
Rev. Boose has won to himself
host of friends during the seven
years he has labored in the local
field and they will be sincerely
sorry to learn that he is to leave.
Rev. Boose was called to West
Minister church Jan, S, 1902, sue
ceeding Rev. Wilcox. He was in
stalled rs pastor on May Il, fol-
lowing. Since coming to Rock
ford Rev. Boose has identified
himself with many movements
which have resulted for the better
ment ana upll1t.
He took an active interest in the
work of the Y. NJ. G. A., when that
organization was in existence,
speaking at numerous factory and
Sunday meetings. During t h
Sunday revival services he was
president of the Rockford Evange-
listic association which had charge
of that campaign. For the past
five years he has been stated clerk
of the Freeport Presbytery and
since DR.. Ely left this presbytery
he has been chairman of the COM
mittee on home missions. In 1907
he was elected by the Presbytery
asdelegate to the general assembly.
Rev. Boose has been imminent
ly successful with his work at
Westminster church and the con-
gregation has made excellent pro-
gress during the seven years he
has been at It's head. In his de-
parture Pontiac gains a most val
ued church worker and citizen,
that city's gain being Rockford's
loss.
In Pontiac Rev. Boose will find
a big field of endeayor. His new
church has mem bership of nearly
500 and is the only church of its
denomination in that city.-Rock

WILL VISIT US NEXT SPRING
Ernest M. Pollard in Touch With the
Farmers

During the holiday recess | at
tended a farmers institute in
each county of the First District.
taking with me an expert from
the office of Public Roads and
another from the Bureau of Plant
Industry. My primary purpose
was to present the work that is
being done by the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture which is of
direct practical benefit TO the
farmers. The experts of the de-
partment have worked out cer-
tain methods which have been
tried and proven to be a great
success not only at the State Ex-
pertinent Stations, but when ap-
piled on the farms. | have ar
ranged with the Secretary of
Agriculture to have two experts
sent to the First District next
spring to aid the farmers III in
Producing these improved meth
DDS. These experts will visit the
farms and give every assistance
possible in introducing these new
methods. Other states are avail
ing themselves of this opportun-
ity and | am IN hopes that the
farmers of my district will take
advantage of it and secure the
benefit of the latest and best inn
proved methods of selecting seeds
and the cultivation of crops.
Where these methods have been
put into practice they have re-
suited in increasing the yield from
20 to so per cent. Any farmer of
the First District who desires to
receive the cooperation of the
government in the introduce
ton of these improved meth
DDS can do so by sending me his
name and address. l should like
to have all those who desire to
participate in this cooperative
movement to write me at once
here in Washington, as it will be
necessary for the Department to
receive the names of such farm
ers as soon as possible in order
that the preliminary arrange
ments may be perfected by the
time it is necessary to begin the
work. Very Truly Yours.
