"A lady friend complained to me
that she had tried Postum, but it did
not taste good. In reply to my ques-

about ten minutes. I advised her to
follow directions and know that she
boiled it fifteen or twenty minutes, and
she would have something worth talk
ing about. A short time ago heard
one of her children say that they were
drinking Postum nowadays, so l
judge she succeeded in making it
good, which is by no means difficult

ton, sending an official telegram to his
men at Amarillo, when an old man
named Crutcher, whom Mcdonald
knew, came in with the word that Mat

Capt. Bill regarded Crutcher keenly;
evidently he was sincere enough.
John says he wants to see you and
fix up everything right" repeated the
old man, persuasively.
Capt. Bill finished writing his tele-
gram and sent it. Then turning to
Old Man Crutcher, he said in his slow,
mild way:

to me- l never want any trouble that
I can help. Come on let's go find

They left the depot on the side
toward the town, and as they did so
they saw the sheriff of Hardeman

with Matthews and two of the latter's
friends, coming to meet them. Sheriff
Golfer was a step ahead of Matthews
as they crossed the street. Old Man
Crutcher in a friendly way put his arm
through McDonald's as they advanced.
When there were but four or five feet
between the groups, all stopped and
there was a little silence.
Then Mcdonald said:
"Well?"
And Matthews answered, keeping
Golfer still just tribe in advance:
well, what is it, Bill?"

DECORATIONS SHOULD BE SIMPLE

Do not make the mistake of trying to make your apartment look like . museum or a collection of bric-a-brac by unwisc and indiscrimiEate buying of plaster casts, vases and small pieces of so-callcd art studiesA A few good pieces well dis played, well chosen and well made are far better than a mass of truck. for that is what most of the so- called bric-a-brac is: it is not ouiy bad in itself. but IS tresonc to the eye and confusing to the occupant. There IS a decided air of restfulness in the plain, Iwell-chosen, rrodestly arranged room.
 In the selection of furniture, buy good pieces, pieces that will stand the wear of years. It is far better to have one good chair than a half dozen cheap ones, that fall to pieces as soon as the furnace heat comes III contact with them.

| killed by any of the frosts and the
 orange growers assert that damage l is confined to some frozen fruit, young
 nursery stock, and the latest growth ! on the big trees. This is an honest. frank and full statement of the dam age to date and it can hardly be imag- l ined that there will be any more of it. | And it is far less than in any other, | orange district of the United States. To offset these statements attention is called to the fact that citrus trees elsewhere have suffered more than in Arizona, California in particular hav-
 ing Sustained heavy losses. The ad-
 mission of these facts should not prejudice a stranger against the
 orange industry in the least for the
 intelligent grower knoVs that in, no
 notable orange country is there entire
 absence of frost and this valley has
 suffered less than anywhere. The
 testimony of thousands in Phoenix can
 be had to the effect that many trees
 have been grown here from seedlings
 to bearing age and maturity, in the
 open. without the slightest hurt from
 frost, but it wasn't done in years like
 this one. And 1t is further testified
 that usually the extreme cold on frosty nights does not long hang over the orange belt Nights when the extreme cold was registered were not as dam aging as some of the nights when 1t was slightly warmer but chanced to stay cold longer.
 As for the city of Phoenix in answer to the letter, it is the finest city of 20.000 population on earth. all things considered. but is by no means a spot less town. It is full of conditions that might be improved. just as most towns are, and they are being inn proved as fast as possible. It has all the modern utilities except paved streets and a sewer system. The lat ter it has in part and is preparing to extend or supplant it with an entirely new one. Street paving is on the list for early action. For more detailed information reference is made to board of trade literature, free for the asking.
 In conclusion Phoenix is proud of her climate but admits that it has been acting badly lately as it has everywhere. but it is still milder and more pleasant than that of any place outside of Arizona. Phoenix can that the sun will shine more than six days out of seven, in a total of the years weather. but in any particular week or any particular two weeks, such a guarantee would be a gambling proposition. unless the weeks were picked in the summer time.

 The very first day a woman who has circlcd the globe came in and said: This reminds me of Liberty's in Lon doa: 1t Is the most artistic little shop in Fifth Avenue" Patrons stopped invol- rltarily before the artistic window and i;l two days the youth lad employed clerk. two girl artists and an errand hoy to supply his patronage No. this being a true story. he did not come out enormously wealthy, bur he kept his Fifth Avenue place until spring, paid all his expenses and gained some big orders for his riore serious work of interior decorating So rnuch for en- thusiasm and bravado. backed by real talent.

 Treating the Scalp
 Of course you know that hair-drcss- ing includes the care and treatment of the scalp, and if you go into this work after you have learned the first steps you will make much more money than by simply shanpooing and dressing the hair. Age is no limit 70 taking up the work in any of its branches A Chicago friend, bereft of husband and son and reaching her fifticth birthday, used her very small banl; balance to go into a hair-dressing parlor, with the thought of becoming all assistant. Alter she learned, she set rp her own little par Tor in her fiat near suburban railway station and near big university. and managed to take care Of herself nicely.
 Gradually sine did what you can do. if you take up this work. She made her own hair tonics, face powders. cold creams and soaps. She began with ma king cold cream and found 1t such fun, for was always interested in mix ing things" that she tried one thing after another. She added to her own patronage by helping others She gave girl friends room in her parlor for em- broidery and china painting exhibits, and she taught her profession to others. It was not easy earning a living this way; it meant standing on her feet and the most severe strain on her hands and fingers. not only from the rubbing, but from keeping them in scalding water. for she washed all her own towels. At her age, however. she was afraid to un- dertake going back and forth down. town; she felt that she must keep her little home. and friends dropping in made her life less lonely.

 In almost every college you will find young students helping earn their own way by shampooing and hair-dressing and by-acting as agents for toilet ar ticles.

ESTABLISHING A HAIR
 DRESSER'S SHOP
Profitable Business for Young Girl with Talent
 and Ambition
and Ambition

"HE women who take up sham
 pooing, hairdressing and mani
 curing as business are num-
 bered by the thousand, yet am told 1t is almost impossible to secure efficient helpers in the various parlors. This is not a business you can pick up yourself. Even If you are born with a natural gift for 1t, you must either go and take a regular course at hair par Tor or one of the schools where It IS taught, or you must go regularly and often to a good hairdresser and get her to instruct you. There are so many women who are doing the work well that the novice who does not know a good method will not succeed.
 Starting in Business
 The most simple way, and ,he least expensive way, after you learn tine trade, Is to work up your own list of private patrons and go from house to house Then you will only need an equipment you can carry in a small bag. You can treat society women during the daytime, and have your clientele of busi- ness women for evenings. You can gen. orally make an arrangement with the manager of summer resort hotel by which you either work for commission or receive your rent free and sometimes your room and board. Or you can se- cure corner in one of the little shops that flourish at summer resorts and work up patronage; so, you see. neither day, night, nor the ordinary dull summer season need keep you from earning money.
 Of course, this is not business which will flourish in a farming dis trict or a sparsely-set..,ed locality. You must go where there a-e many people, professional and society people Use common sense iu deciding upon your

are many men who would not take ad- vantage of such an opportunity 10 Rirt with a girl. but there are some who will every time" This may or may not be true, but keep on the>safe side and have women and girls for your patrons Opening Your Own Parlor
 When you feel experienced enough to start your own little ''parior," go about it in business and social way. Have an opening day with flowers, tea and with your neatly-printed or en- graved cards, give little souvenir in shape of perfumed sachet, tiny vial of toilet water, or sample of face powder. The greatest element in at tractiveness for your little parloy will be to keep everything neat and shininC. You must know how to sterilize tow els, aprons, brushes and combs. Each customer must have perfectly fresh towels and apron.
 It IS best to have regular patrons sup ply their own brushes and combs. Never neglect sterilizing the brush and comb after using. Caution your patrons against trying on hats proniiscuously against leaning the head on car seat and other cushions in public conveyances or hotels without protecting the hair, against using brushes and combs be- longing to even intimate friends. You see you have here chance to spread the gospel of cleanliness.
 Business Rules
 You will need large supply of tow els and dress protectors. for each GUS toner must be given perfectly clean one. Unless you can be sure of your laun- dress, and to save big expense, have these towels and aprons laundered at home. After each shampoo or treat ment do not rest until you have re- moved every trace of the work from the washbowl and stands. Perfect cleanliness will be your greatest ad- vertisement No matter how simple your equipment. if everything about your room is clean, fresh and dainty, and if you cultivate strong but gen tie touch, your customer will return. know little woman in the far South who has to work without the conve-
