Digestion Is largely mechanical

digestion Is weak there is usually
weakness of the abdominal muscles,
and with better diet, more thorough
mastication, better rest and more reg
ular habits must be inclnded system
of exercise to strengthen the muscles
and thus improve the peristaltic ac-
ton of the stomach and the intestfnes,
upon which digestion so largely de-
ponds. The massage roller is an ex
callent device for this purpose. Lie
fat on the back, stretch the hands
fully above the head, the finger tips
touching the floor. Rise to the sitting
posture, take hold Of the feet and
draw the knees up to touch the chest,
stretch again and repeat. Walking on

Cold is worse than heat for patent

1t is necessary to be attractive as

a faithful girl has been left in the
rear because she neglected her per-

whose appearance received the best of
attention has failed to realize her ideal

her best. Your appearance depends
largely upon what you put on. but real
quality comes from what you are, how
you act, how you conduct yourself,
how You express yourself and how
you have improved al those things in
your nature that can be expressed. To
be a quality girl, therefore in the tru-
est sense of that term, it is necessary
to do your best, be your best and ap-

For Your Hands.

A cooked potato is excellent as a
means of cleaning and whitening the
hands. The potato should be cut in
half and rubbed over the backs and
fingers after they have been soaked
for minute or two in warm water.
Potato should be used in this manner
instead of soap.
II the hands have become very much
stained with ink, they should be rub

to remove the stains, a good plan is
that of adding little pearl ash to wa

ALFALFA
FOR EGG PRODUCTION
GOOd For the Hens and Lighters
the Grain Bill.

Alfalfa Is as much an egg producing
material as 1t is producer of milk.
1t is rich in nitrogen and mineral mat
ter, thus providing the hens with sub
stances that are derived from it In
forms most suitable for the purpose
desired. Lime is an essential sub
stance in the production of eggs, and
there are some that use oyster shells
for supplying the hens with lime, but
alfalfa contains lime In a soluble form
and ready prepared for use.
The various grains are deficient in
lime, and when poultry recei

hens to lay perfect eggs, many
soft shelled. When the need ele-
ments are supplied and the hens lay
regularly the carbonaceous matter is
appropriated by the eggs, but If the
hens do not lay they become fat and
remain In a condition that invites dis
ease.
Alfalfa or clover, by displacing part
Of the grain ration, supplies the hens
with substances which are lacking in
grain and provides bulk food and heat
ing food. It IS good both In the dry
and green state, and happy is the poul-
tryman who has an alfalfa patch for
his hens to wander In. They can get
animal and green food at the same
time. If you don't raise alfalfa your
self buy 1t by all means and save half
your grain bill.

"If woman were so situated that
she might have either brush for
cleansing her teeth or dental floss and
mouth rinse which would you CON
slider she should choose?' was asked
well known dentist. and there was not
a moments hesitation in his answer.
"Floss and the rinse" he declared.
"Dear me. if ] could impress upon my
patients the truth of this my income

t'You see" he continued. "few per
sons apply brush as it should be, and
even when it is employed to the ut
most it cannot remove all particles
from between the teeth as thoroughly
as would q piece of dental floss. If
more persons would realize that mi
mute pieces of food decay and create
acids, and these constantly acting on

er for polishing the surface.
Polishing the surface is necessary,
of course. But when a toothbrush
has been used in this fashion it should
be held and drawn down on the upper
jaw so that the bristles start at the
tops of the teeth, finishing at the edges.
This operation is reversed on the low
er jaw by bringing the brush up. BY
this process many particles will come
out.
Following such treatment a piece
of dental or soft silk embroidery floss
should be passed between the teeth,
and finally the mouth should be rinsed.
Brush, floss and rinslng make the ideal
care. Failing that, l should say use
floss and a rinse.
"a mouth wash that Is pleasant and
effective is made by putting half
teaspoonfui OF spirits of camphor into
a wineglassful Of water.
Another is made from one ounce
each of tincture OF myrrh and COM

Mixed Breeds on the Farm.

Some farmers seem to have weak
ness for keeping a mixture of chick
ems. They will get Plymouth Rock
ROSTERS one year, some other kind the
next, and their farms are overrun with
mixed chickens of every conceivable
shape and color.
If these fowls are profitable, how
much greater profit could be realized
from the same number Of fowls good

and color. The pure bred Cochin,
Brahma or Plymouth Rock will weigh
more than mixed chickens, just as full

Different Manure Functions.

The chief distinction between the
functions of farm manure and COM
mercial fertilizers may be stated in a
general way to be that farm manure
increases crop production by improv-
ing the condition of the soil, while the
commercial fertilizers act directly as a
plant food without materially affecting
the soil structure.
The function of commercial fertiliz-
ers is therefore to supplement- the
available supply of plant food in the
soil by supplying any deficiency which
may exist and by furnishing surplus
of food upon which the plant may
draw.

Could Not See Victim Because
of Dust Caused by
Another Car

Arguments in the case of Monte G.

slaughter for the killing Of Isaac l..
Lowman July 2, 1909. probably will be
made in Judge Davis court today tes-
timony for both sides having been
virtually concluded when the court ad-
journed shortly after 4 o'clock yes
terday.
One of the chief witnesses in
Abrams behalf during the day was
Harry A. Miller, who was in the au-
tomobile driven by the accused man
when Lowman was struck. The car
was on the right side of the street
until just before the accident occurred,
he said, and was compelled to shift to
the other side by a speeding machine
in the rear. The dust thrown up by
the latter car, he added, prevented
himself and Abrams from seeing any
person crossing the street and Low
man was struck while the car was
running twenty miles an hour.
In explanation of the fact that Low
mans body was carried eighty-five
feet before the car stopped, the wit
ness said Abrams, believing he had
struck some person. threw on high
speed for the purpose of overtaking a
car occupied by DR.. Edward Janss, an
ticipating that the physicians serY-
ices would be needed.
DR.. Janss and his chauffeur, T. Tetz-
laff, were also witnesses, testifying
similarly with regard to the speed and
position of the Abrams car.
