The hem is served in with an over

A Skirt Saver.

Just about one-half the pressing Of
skirts will be required If the owner
takes pains to hang them carefully
each time they are taken OF. This is
especially necessary II the weather
has been damp and rainy.
Stretch skirt to the full extent Of
its pinned waist band and 1t will
wrinkle less easily.
1t Is economy to lay in supply Of
skirt hangers and use them even in
your Oldest skirt. Where closet room
IL limited the combination rods keep
your clothes in much better condition.
Instead Of hangers. in a small closet
the careful girl will tack tout strip
Of canvas to the wall Just under the
closet hooks. This can be furnished
with safety pins by which a skirt is
easily held in stretched position.

Her Lauoh Broke,

She was little fairy Of seven, with
eyes like diamonds and hair like spun
gold, and she was romping with half
dozen playmates. Touching a fine
looking youngster on the shoulder,
she challenged him with, You can't
catch me-" on they started, she twist
ing and lodging with the dexterity of
a half-back on football team, and he
following her every movement In close
pursuit. The excitement of the chase
made her scream with laughter. The
little fugitive finally brought up
against fence, breathless and pant
ing, and her pursuer. throwing his
arms about her, shouted: There, I've
caught you!" "Oh, yes" gasped the
little fairy. "but it was cause my
laugh broke and I couldn't run any
more"

Feeding Ewes at LambIna Time.

Feeding Ewes at LambIng Time.
According to estimates made by the
Virginia experiment station, over 9
per cent. Of the lambs born in that
state last year died because their
mothers did not have sufficient milk
to support them. Investigation shows
that the cause for this lack of milk
was due to unwise feeding before and
after lambing.
One sheep breeder lost 37h per
cent. Of his lambs from this cause
Before lambing time he fed the ewes
corn fodder and timothy hay. After
lambing he fed bran and cut fodder
This shows that 1t is great mistake
to feed sheep on timothy hay or corn
fodder either before or after lambing
Neither of these feeds contains
enough protein or succulence to make
milk. This man says that II he had
had 500 bushels turnips he could have
saved all his lambs.
The new era., 1910-06-09

Those who live in the rural districts
end small villages often encounter
hardships during the hot summer
months, where they are compelled to
10 without ice. Often much food Is
spoiled that could have been saved
with ice. or some other method for
keeping same cool. A device such as
shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion may be installed, either in a new
or an old house. at slight expense, and
will afford most all the benefits de-
rived from the ice chest and ice.
A small excavation is made, of what
ever size suits your needs or fancy,
If the house has basement or cellar.
The excavation should extend several
feet below the floor Of same; If there
Is no cellar, it should go some deeper.
The excavation should be lined with
concrete, and the bottom covered with
the same material, to keep out the
water. In illustration, the excavation

HUMUS GREATLY
DEMENT'S SOIL
Is That Element Composed OF De-
composed Organic Substances,
and Forms Principal Plant
Food of Ground.

(By PROF. r. H. !LoNGBRIDGEA
Soil deficient In humus Is OF little
| value.
u Humus benefits the soil in many
ways.
1t makes soil looser. lighter. thus
aiding in ventilation and allowing
poisonous gases to escape.
1t keeps the soil from becoming
overheated.
1t is valuable in clay because by
Tightening the ground 1t makes 1t
easier to work.
It Is valuable in sandy soil. as 1t
helps to bind it together and give II
more substance.
1t changes minerals that are in the
soil to plant food.
1t holds nitrogen in the soil and
Aitrogen Is the most valuable tngredi-
yapt In the soil and the costliest to buy
u fertilizer.
1t is the home of beneficial bacteria.
It helps the soil to retain moisture.
Plow your ground deeply. as this
enables the humus to get deeply into
the soil, where the long roots will get
the greatest benefit from 1t.
On some desert lands. the first
thing to be done is to get crop
started that will add to the humus
content Of soil. This can be done and
is done. the result often being soils of
amazing fertility.

either for hanging up by the side of
the writing table, or, perhaps. at some
convenient spot in the hall.
1t is made in two pieces only, and
for the back and front two pieces of
stout cardboard should be cut out
in the shape indicated by A and B.
The cardboard should then be covered
smoothly with silk and edged all
round with silk cord. Prior to do
ing this, however, the word Letters"
may be worked on the silk covering
the back portion, and some pretty and
simple design such as indicated in the
sketch, worked on the front.
There Is a loop Of ribbon with a
bow at the top attached to the back
by which 1t may be suspended from
the wall. The front portion is sewn
in its place and allowed to fall for
ward. the ribbon strings tackled to
each side preventing 1t opening too
far. The letters may easily be slipped
in or removed from either side.

AVOID HABIT OF sLoucHING
Really 10 a Fault That May Easily Be
Overcome by the Exercise Of
Will Power.

Slouching is nothing but negligence.
and displays lack of self-control.
Don't give way to 1t, but see II a
little energy won't overcome 1t. 1t
may seem but a trifle to you. but not
to others. These will not be as le-
nient in judging your slouching habit,
and not only will criticize it severely
but may eventually form an entirely
wrong opinion of you.
The stopping position of the back
and shoulders is not only far from
beautiful. but highly insanitary. se-
verely handicapping the respiration
and preventing all the internal organs
from performing their duties properly.
The habit Of letting the shoulders
droop and the bach stoop may have
been acquired by rapid growth, or by
overzealous study, but whatever the
cause It should be mended as speed
lily as possible. . ...
Let the arms hang freely at the
sides. Don't fold your hands In front
of you, and train yourself to walk
with free. long strides. instead of hop
ping or waddling. as SO many women
do, and, above all. see to 1t that the
poise of your head Is correct, well
thrown back. instead of being half a
mile In advance of your body. Then
1t is easy to adjust the hat firmly and
keep it SO. and 1t will not be awry.
AS in everything else. the secret of
success lies chiefly In firm, deter
mined will to overcome the difficulty.
paying no heed to discouraglng fall
ures in ones efforts, which are bound
to occur when one first commences to
break with the slouching habit.

Complete White Costume.

AS a complete white outfit for girl,
make the dress Of soft white en-
broidery and the girdle Of soft white
taffeta and small bows at the left
front side. Provide large sailor hat
or white chip, trimmed with large
bows of white taffeta ribbon. II the
hat is turned up at one side or the
back, use a single bow. sufficiently
large to cover the brim at that point,
and drape the crown with ribbon
folds. White silk gloves. white Isle
hose and white cravenette shoes
should be added. But the parasol
may be rose. green or tan.

Humus, 1t is understood, is that
element in the soil composed of de-
composed organic substances, and
forms the principal plant food Of the
soil. Where 1t is abundant we have
rich soil. and produce large crops;
where 1t is absent crops are light and
we say the soil is barren.
