Parasols this year are exceptionally
pretty. They are somewhat larger and
more spreading than usual. for the
average hat OF today could receive but
small protection from sunshade OF
ordinary proportions.
The sticks to the seasons parasols
are quite long, and the handles are
extremely smart. A large. fiat knob In
the shape of a rose or gardenia makes
an easy handle to carry and is very at
tractive in coloring when carried out
in china or wood The new finely
carved wooden handles are really
works of art this year. Ribbon flow
ers. which are now used in every de-
tail of dress from hat to slippers. make
an extremely dainty finish to the top
OF parasol stick.
One smart parasol Of silk in plain
color is adorned with an enormous
ribbon bow. the loops and ends spread
ing far over several of the panels. In
soft satin or liberty this ribbon will
not interfere with the closing up Of
the parasoi. and when opened 1t looks
quite charming.
The parasol seen In the illustration
is coaching model Of dark green silk
With applique designs Of a lighter
shade.

The ends Of the box are made Of
pieces OF 2 by s bolted together. i
hole bored in the centsr OF each end
forms the bearings. The sides Of the
box are made Of one inch lumber and
are simply nailed to the ends with
twelvepenny nails. One-half Of the
box is made so that it can be detached
and lifted off when the mixer is to be
filed or emptied. The detachable half
Is secured to the other half by means
Of strong hooks SO placed that by slip
ping this half about an inch to one
side all Of the hooks are loosened at
once. After it is in position the re-
movable portion is held in place by
means of a barn door latch.
The driving gear is simple, but very
effective. It consists of the rim taken
from the wheel of an old rubber tire
buggy. With the tire removed the
grooved rim makes very satisfactory
wheel upon which to run three-quar-
ter inch rope belt The belt is driven
by small sheave pulley, which is fas-
tened to the countershaft. A belt
tightener Is used upon the rope, and
by using very loose belt the tight
ener Is made to act as a friction clutch.
This particular mixer Is driven by Z
two horse gasoline engine. which is
belted to the commensurate. The en-
gine runs continuously. and the mixer
is started and stopped by means of
the belt tightener.
Many other systems Of driving might
have been used in place Of the rope
belt. The main gear Of an old self
binder makes an excellent gear for q
mixer. An old mower gear may also
be put to good use in this connection.
It is not necessary to have the mixer
driven by an engine or horse power. A
crank may be attached and the ma
chine turned by hand. Many prefer
turning such a machine rather than
mixing the concrete with a shovel.

CHARLES SPENCER METHOD
THOUGHT At FIRST HE WOULD
DIE FROM HUNGER, BUT AFTER
WARDS HE LOST HIS DESIRE TO
EAT MUCH.
american News service)

London, May 19.-The recent fast
ing experiment OF Mr.. Upton Sinclair,
which created widespread interest, has
been eclipsed in value and in length OF
time, by Mr.. Charles Spencer, an art
list, of Kent.
Mr.. Spencer suffered from an abb
normal appetite; no meal seemed to
satisfy him. At length he began a
diligent study OF the theory OF fasting
as cure; then he practiced it for
fOrty-two days.
In speaking OF his experience, Mr..
Spencer said:
You may take 1t from me that fast
ing for health will be generally adopt
ed. Well-knOwn doctors whom l meet
are taking 1t up. 1t is no new theory.
The Greeks and Egyptians 1000 years
back were keen advocates of fasting.
] set out with the determined inten-
tion OF making thorough experiment.
"On the first day the pangs of hun
ger were keen enough; SO were they
on the second day. On the third day
there seemed little relief, and from
that day onwards l experienced no
hunger whatever.
II continued my work as an artist,
doing some light gardening and walk
Ing as exercises. At the end of the
forty-second day, hunger began to re-
assert itself. That is the stage where
many 'fasters' make mistake They
determine to fast for certain num-
Der or days, and even If the craving
for food returns after a certain period
they continue to fast.
When ! felt the hunger returning I
immediately drank some fruit juice,
and continued to live on this for two
days. On Thursday night I had nv
1irst equare meal. It is a grave error
for any one to fast who has not a thor.

KIN Million Flies With One Swat.

Kin Million Flies With One Swat.
The open season for dies is now on.
and physicians and bacteriologists are
sending out passionate pleas to house
wives all over the civilized glone to
slay and slay and slay. The sport in
this case Is not so much the thing.
Truth to tell. the deliberate killing OF
flies is what the small boy once de-
scribed as ''dinky work." But the sci
entists explain. with all the convincing
force of geometrical progression. that
every lone and solitary specimen Of
the common housedy that is allowed
to run wild now will. barring acci-
dents. be responsible for more than
million and a half of its tribe before
the end of June. Probably only bald
headed men will be willing to take
these figures literally. but there re-
mains the grand and solemn fact that
IL you wait until August to kill dy
you will have the blood Of only one
miserable insect on your hands, but II
you slay one in April or May, thus pre-
venting it from breeding. you get a
regular Rwana Tumbo of bag. which
only the most absurd modesty need
forbid you from reckoning potentially
in hundreds OF thousands.
Health experts lay directly on the
flies the responsibility for the spread
of diphtheria. consumption and enteric
fevers. How many young children
have died as result of drinking fly
infected milk is something no one can
estimate with any approach to accura
cy. A recent experiment has shown
that q bowl Of milk exposed to dies for
twenty-four hours contained 100000
bacteria per cubic centimeter us
against less than tenth OF that num-
ber where the milk was reasonably
protected. Examined under micro
scope, one fly of only ordinary physique
has been found to contain on its body
1,222,75O different bacteria. and after
serving as a bath for two or three 9th
er flies water that previously was alb
solutely pure was found to contain NO
fewer than 100000 germs. So the
cry goes forth. ITO arms. ye house
wives. and exc, ye little boys and
