EXPORT FARM PRODUCTS
 ARE RISING IN VALUE

Washington, March 29.-Exported farm products of the United States are steadily rising in vaIues while in many eases the exports of manufacturers show a decline in the same cornpara- tive period. Foreign countries were willing to pay higher prices in every instance for farm products during February this year than they were in February a. year ago. The export price table issued by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Com
 nerce and Labor shows a, long line of increases ranging from 30 per cent. upward. The prices given there are exclusive of freights and represent merely the prices at the time of expor- station.
 Taken in comparison with those fig ures which are quoted in explanation of the higher. cost of living. this new est table makes it apparent that ex- ported foodstuffs have advanced abroad as well as at home. SaIted and fresh beef exported alone show slight decreases in price for February, as compared with the same period a year ago.

ANNA HELD'S ADVICE TO STAGE STRUCK GIRLS If You Would Preserve Your Purity Shun the Foot
 lights.
Dangers to Which Pretty Faces Are Subjected by LecherOus
 sAngeIS" and Their IIk.

Anna Held, the famous comedienne. who is to present Miss 1nnocence' at Jackson's theatre, TOT a single per fOrmance next Wednesday evening, declares that the conditions of the theatrical world today are such that she shouldn't advise any young girl to go upon the stage. In discussing the dangers of the footlights, she said:
 .I cannot warn young girls too strongly not to choose the stage 8 means of livelihood It is dangerous, very dangerous. Young women un- less they are possessed of the great est talent-and alas, how few of them are--should shun the stage as they would the bubonic plague. Why? Because those who get along do so only at the cost of their innocence and their regulations. Conditions be- hind the footlfghts, especially for the chorus and show girl, are something horrible to think of. In most musi- cal plays the girls are absolutely at the mercy of the owner of the show
 Why, there are half a dozen thea tres, in New York, I could name off, hand-contro1led, indeed owned, by r1illionaires, and these men and their friends have all the privilege >of the stage during rehearsa1s and perform ances. Their object is obviohs. A

girl with a pretty face is soon at their mercy. These rich men go in- to the business for that very purpose, for no angel ever makes any money on his venture. The managers, at least a certain class and a very large class of them, are very glad to have wealthy packer, and naturally they must give him some privileges. Among them is the right to prow1 around behind the scenes as much as he desires.
 ssThose rich angels are shown up in their true light when it is said that they never back any but musical show which always employs mum Der of pretty girls. They never are found behind a drama or male star. And you cannot blame the chorus girl. She comes to the city many times alone, and believes everything that is said to her. The contact with wealthy men, the little attentions, the automobile rides, the suppers, all turn her head, and in a little while she is lost. Pretty soon she develops a taste for expensive food and discov CTS that she cannot ride in anything less aristocratic than a taxi-cab. And then you have the fact that she has only a $15 or $20 a. week salary to de- pend upon.

BAPTISM DELAYED
 TILL WATERS WARM
Bursting of Boiler in Middletown Church InterfereS With
 Easter Music.

Midd1etown, March 2S-With a dozen persons waiting to receive bap- tisn at the Baptist Church yesterday it became necessary to postpone the ceremonies arranged for the Easter morning service owing to the burst ing of a boiler which provided warm water for the baptistry.
 Formerly those admitted to church mem bership were obliged to take the water as they found it. But in later years the church installed a boiler for the purpose of heating the water. When the janitor lighted the fires early Sunday morning the boiler burst. Plumbers said it would re- qu1re time to make repairs, and those awaiting baptism were notified that they would receive the rite at an other time. A large congregation as- semb1ed to witness the ceremony were disapDoipfed.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

Many delicate and nervous people who cannot digest iron tonic should eat spinach. which contains more iron than even the yolk of an egg. Onions are also an excellent nerVine. Woo1len blankets should be put away in boxes lined with newspapers and a few pieces of cotton, saturated with turpentine should be put in the cor ners of the boxes to keep out moths.
 Tablec1oths, napkins and towels should be alarmed neatly on the wrong side soon they become thin and worn and before the thread breaks. It will make them last much better and look better
 If the lamp smokes or gives a poor light, it may be merely dirty. Take the lamp apart, boil the burner in soda water and pour scalding hot water through the tubes and connecting rods.
 FIatirons should not be left on the chance to lose their heat. They should be put away in cool place where it is dry. so that they will not rust.
 Small white spots on the finger nails may be removed by bandaging them at night with a linen cloth spread with mixture of myrrh and turpent1ne. In the morning bathe the fingers i'll olive oil.
 Salt and vinegar added to the water in which fish is boiled, will serve to whiten and harden the fish. A tea spoonful of salt and a, tablespoonful of vinegar to two quarts of water is the right proportion.
 Bananas are nOur1ShlnS. DuI many children cannot eat them without pro- longed indigestion. If they are mash ed with a fork and beaten to a. cream they will not harm the smallest child, and can be eaten with a, spoon.
 Stains can be removed from marble with the following mixture: A gill of soapsl1ds and oxgal1, half a gill of tur- pentine and as much fal1er's earth as will Inak ca paste. Rub on the stains and leave for a. few days.
 When pressing seams on heavy ma teriaI, put the iron down heavily, hold put it down a little further along. This does not put the seam out of shape as running it along does.
 A suggestion in whipping cream is to whip it in the upper part of 8 double boiler, with fine ice or cold water placed in the lower part. An added advantage of this arrangement is that the boiler is deeper than a bowl, and there is less spattering.
 To test butter, take a clean piece of white paper. smear a. little of the but ter on it, roll the paper up and set on fire If the butter be pure, the smell will be rather pleasant, but if it is made up wholly or sin part of animal fat it will smell like ta1lOw.
 When the milk supply is limited for any cause, save the water in which the rice is boiled. When this is a1- lowed to stand until it is je1lied it makes an economical substitute for milk and can be used in all the cream soups and needs not the thickening with butter and flour that milk must have.

FASHIONS AND PADS

Chal1is comes in very pretty pat terms and makes dainty little frocks for small girls.
 With the afternoon dresses, there are carried parasols of black chinchilla lace over white.
 Figured foulards are to be used as Innings for many of the smart tailored coats this spring.
 For street wear the correct stock ings are the plain, heavy black silk, with an embroidered clock.
 Many of the negligees have a hint of the Directoire with crossed vests of brocade or beaded net.
 A bewildering number of changes will be rung upon the way in which the new smart coat is fastened.
 Belts of every description are found; even on evening gowns we are aston ished by a. belt of leather.
 For street suits. black and white is in great demand, stripes or checks being successfully used also.
 One of the new turbans has a foun- dation of silver: it's trimming full ostrich plume in taupe color.
 The new coat buttons are gorgeous, depending upon enamel. jewels and
 Softness and fulness in attractive lines result from the shirring that has again invaded the realm of dress.
 Belts are worn in a very high, round line, their great length making them take a quaint short-waisted effect.
 Unusually handsome for gowns are the twille6 foulards, found in large designs.
 Square and oblong buckles. huge in size and covered with spangled or jew eled fabrics. are seen on many of the new gowns.
 Among the new shapes in turbans are the Rembrandt. the Henry III, the Hrlssar. the De Stael, the Drum Ma ior and the Napoleon.
 Voile varied with silk stripes. dots and blocks, and of very open mesh, is a safe and becoming decision for afternoon gowns,
 Bedroom slippers, crocheted of the heavy mercerized cotton. are most at tractive. The changeable eottons are especially attractive.
 Lingerie garments are narrower than formerly. Every porrible plaited gather is omitted and the lines closely follow those of the outer dress.
 There has come about a wide return for blouses that fasten across the shoulder or both; in the latter case there is no fastening under the arm.
 Paraso1s will still have the very be coming Directoire handle, and are to be quite as elaborate as ever. The canopy top is to be popular.
 There is at present in Paris a vogue for spiral effects and cross bands and especially does this idea seem exem- plif1ed in afternoon and evening gowns.
