Farmers should eat
more oatmeal.

Although the farmer of today IS able
TO buy almost anything he wants to
wear or 70 eat he isn't paying enough
attention to food values when It comes
to his own table.
If he has been watching the extern

the question of the best human food

advice from all sides to Feat more

Quaker Scotch Oats is mentioned

COMFORT DRESSES

l1 OOH1EOI GASAN@GAS
Comfort dresses, that is the new
name the up-to-date girl calls her
tub dresses this year and she plans
them IN every particular 50 that they
will be a credit to their name says
Grace Margaret Gould.
They are smart in style, she
wouldn't own them if they we're not.
They are most simple in design, yet
they carry distinction. And they
are sure to be becoming, for their
colorings are specially charming.
There is no doubt that extrava-
gance is running riot this season as
far as. ones afternoon and evening
froeks go. But Fashion makes up
for this recklessness by looking with
favor upon many materials for sim
pie morning dresses which are ex-
tremely inexpensive and extremely
good looking.
The fancy cottons, the ginghams,
the percales, and piques, and the
plain and novelty linens were never
before seen in such an array of love-
" colorings. The blue tints seem to
lead and Their different shades are
many, the old blue and gentian-blue
tones being more to the fore than
the turquoise and blue-green tints.
Then there are the tans and yellows
and Bluffs which vie with one another
in their soft, becoming shades. The
lavenders are also in favor and very
many grays and clever black and
white mixtures are seen in these
wash fabrics. It is easy to see from
this that the comfort dresses are
pretty to look al and apt to be be-
coming to about every woman.
They have no high stiff collars,
but are cut low in the neck in vari-
GUS ways. Some show the Dutch
neck, others are a little higher in the
neck and finished with a soft turn
down embroidered collar, and then
for the girl who does not look well
in either Of these styles there is the
waist with the round neck, finished
with some attractive trimming band. Z

INEXPENSIVE sACHETs

.Sachets to impart a delicate and
delicious fragrance to the lingerie
are almost a necessity to The dainty
woman, and, while externally these
may be made Of very inexpensive ma
t@erials, if is absolutely necessary that
the various doors used should be the
best and purest it Is possible TO OBJ
tain" says Mary Foster Snider.
The most convenient way TO
make these sachets is in size that
that will exactly cover the bottom Of
the drawers they are intended te per-
fume. Any thin, loose-textured ma
terial, from cheese-cloth to China
silk, is suitable for the outside Gov
ering, but the most inexpensive Of
these may also prove the prettiest If
d little care is taken in making them.
Cut the material the desired size,
place over it a thin LAYER Of cotton
batting and haste it lightly in place,
then sprinkle rather thickly with the
preferred saehet. Adjust the top
piece, haste or pin it in place, hay-
ing the pins are stitches quite close
49, H
together to keep the batting ii po-
%sition, than thread q darning-needle
with the narrowest baby ribbon and
tie it at equal distances in the dainti-
est Of little knots, just as if one were
tying a quilt. Bind it all around with
a piece of ribbon wide enough to
fasten smoothly, and even If made Of
plain cheese-cloth it will be both
pretty and sweet. Pale pink, blue
ane lavender are the prettiest colors,
of cream color tied with ribbon in
any Of The shades. Do not tie It too
closely.
The sweetest of all sachets may
be made by the following rule:
Mix together one half pound of
Forentine orris root (being careful
to buy only that which is fresh and
sweetly reminiscent Of v%iolets), one
half pound Of ground rose-leaves.
two ounces of tonquin bean, half a
grain Of musk and two drops of es-
sence Of almonds. Pass the mixture
through q coarse sieve two or three
times to thoroughly mix them"

Permit me to state through the col
ums of your paper few things in con-
nection with the contemplated change
in the water ordinance by the City
Council. The City Council has not made
any change in the ordinance from what
it has been for some years, but they
have under advisement change of re-
quiring water rents to be paid three
months in advance. Whether the Cour-
Gil will make this change or not can
not say. The fact of the matter is that
the water system should be placed upon
a self sustaining basis, which it has
not been for the last eight years. If
the water system was owned by pri-
vate corporation, the private corpora
tion would have business ability think,
sufficient to not only put the system
upon a self sustaining basis, but in ad-
dition wou d make it dividend paying
proposition.
The city has never so long as | can
recollect attempted to accumulate any
surplus in the special water works fund;
The Delta independent., 1910-03-18
and let them dictate the policy of the

and let them dictate the policy of the
city.
AS it is now We have considerable
loss in the collection of water rents by
those who are able to pay and do not
pay. This should not be permitted by
the officers of the water works system
and as it is the officers of the water
works system have all they can do and
more too; and for this reason there is
no negligence upon such officers, but
physical impossibility.
We have mountain water which we
are all proud of and our citizens and
taxpayers are perfectly willing to pay
for it, but they demand that the water
system be placed upon self sustaining
basis and why is this demand not ac-
ceded to? think there is no reasonable
excuse. The Council has no right with
in reasonto appropriate money from the
general taxes of the city to make up
the deficit in the special water works
fund and yet, this is what has been
done tor the last eight years; starting
out with one mill and now reaching ten
mills. The assessed valuation is $780,
900. The ten mill appropriation means
collection of SIS, 500 to make up the
deficit, in addition to SO, 900 or $4,000
to be collected OIL frontage taxes. l
say that this is wrong and we should
break away from this method of hand
ling our water works system, and
think every taxpayer in the city will
agree with me that it is wrong.
Let the council make the contem-
plated change and place the water
works system upon self sustaining
basis, then | am satisfied. Every tax
payer demands this. This council
passed frontage tax also t. ielp out
the water works system. l think that
is right and just, we have our water
mains laid in front of vacant lots and
those vacant lots in a measure get the
benefit in the rise in valuation by rea-
son of the main being accessible to the
lots. The vacant lot owner for this
reason should pay some of the burden.

Sixtv-Hve thousand apple trees were
recently dug up in Kansas, becau Sc
it was found that the soil and climate
was not adapted to raising first class
fruit. Here is lesson for orchard
lists. Here also is one reason for poor
showing of apples in western Wash
ington and Oregon, and here also is
the reason for the excellent results
in eastern Washington and Oregon.
On the east side of the mountains,
orchards were planted with special
purpose. The growers bad little else
to produce successful paving crops save
their orchards. They spent much
time in finding out what varieties
were adapted to their climate and
soil, and they planted only those.
Western Washington orchards as a
rule, were planted without regard for
either soil or climate. There are
varieties of apples that will grow to
perfection in western Washington,
and for cherries, pears and prunes,
there is no better land on earth.
Those varieties of fruit which requires
more sunshine than western Washing

attention, where farms are being,
now built up by practical farmers.
But the peculiar thing about this
movement, is that the ''back to the
farm movement" is not a movement
of farmers so much as practical bust
ness men, bankers and merchants.
Men who have fortunes to back them
are buying up the old worn out farms
of New York, and surrounding states,
and are making new farms out OF
them. The new farm idea gets more
attention from these hard headed
practical business men than from
the farmers themselves. This should
not be true, but unfortunately it is.
The farmer must become mole OF a
business man, as the business man is
becoming more of farmer.
