inch or so wide, caught here and there
with a single pink rose is attractive.
Such a border can be cut from cretonne
and fastened to the net of the curtain
with a chain stitch. The edges may be
finished with a narrow pale blue galloon.
Another curtain much In use is the mad

gallon Of water Put this into bottles and
seal tightly. When the clothing is ready
to hang on the line about a tea cup Of

Something About Prices.

THE European peasant girl who. with
the consent ard the appreciation OF her
iance sells her charming tresses may re-
ceive anywhere from one dollar to ten
dollars TO compensate her for her loss
The latter figure is the highest paid by
these professional shearers, who resort
to all kinds OF devices to attain their
end. and yet I have known Of case
when one batch of hair bought from
Breivn peasant girl for this sum was
sold IN America to q leader Of fashion

Som FACTS ~'r a

There are hundreds OF hair agents
securing every country in Europe for
young women who can be invelgled into
selling their tresses for a merely nom
inal sum. In Italy they secure coarse
black hair mostly. This brings the poor
est price in the market, but even that
is nothing to sneeze at. In Sweden the
most costly and beautiful hair is OBJ
tanned. 1t Is - a rarely fine texture aud
is very much in demand among the so
ciety queens to whom price IS the least
consideration as long as they can obtain
the thing they want.

Service for People Who Work

Most Brookings people work every
day In some strained. unnatural posi-

reaching or pulling, or trying the back

All these strains tend to- wear, weak.

fall behind in their work Of fltering
the poisons from the blood. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, put
new strength in bad backs. Brookings
cures prove It.

ing on Second ST., Brookings, S. D.,
