HOW TO CARE
FOR YOUR WATCH

A watch needs care. There is a right
and wrong way to wind a watch says
the New Idea Woman 5 Magazine for
March. Whether it be by key. or stem,
watch should be wound in the morn
ing.
Turn slowly and avoid jerky move
ments. When a watch is wound at
night il has only the weakened spring
to offer as resistance to the jerks and
jolts of the daytime. The morning
winding lessons the danger of break
ing the handspring. which being no
longer at full tension at night, can
stand the cold better
y watch should never be suspended
or laid against a cold surface. Sudden
change in the temperature is the cause
of most mainsprings breaking. The
watch pocket should be cleaned fire.
quentlv. for there was never a joining
made tight enough to keep out all the
dust. Even with the greatest care a
watch should he cleaned every year. As
the oil becomes dry it mixes with metal
lie dust and grinds away on the works
like emery.
Don't lay your watch down one night
and hang it up the next Keep it in
the same position as nearly as possible,

DIAMONDS TO COST MORE

That leap in the price Of diamonds
of which the gentlemanly clerks will
soon be telling you is accounted for.
The diamond workers wanted to get
back to the wage rates that obtained
before the panic Of 1907, and needed
just a l212 per cent increase to do it,
BY an agreement Just reached between
the New York diamond merchants and
the American Diamond Cutters Pro
tective association the workers are to
have the increase. The new scale of
pay VIII date from last Monday.
Charles A. Keene, a diamond mer-
chant, when asked how this would af-
feet the cost of diamonds to the public,
said that it would mean an advance in
price Of from IS to $40 a carat. An
effort was made. he said to induce the
union to agree 10 a stipulation that no
further increase Of wages should. be
asked for two years. This it refused
to dc.
From the fact that they are pro-
tected by an agreement that none but
relatives Of the present workers shall
ever be taught diamond cutting in the
factories here. they are in a position to
take an independent stand. Most of the

BORROWING OF BOOKS.

There Is an etiquette governing the
lending or borrowing Of books that a
person who does one or the other should
never infringe upon.
\ book should not be asked for unless
the one who begs the favor is prepared
to take good care Of the volume. First,
the borrower should let nothing prevent
its return. To send back a new volume
by no means always replaces the old,
for there may be associations with the
latter which not even an edition de
luxe could equal. 1t should be super
fuous to state that leaves must not be
dOg-eared nor stains made in the pages,
yet one repeatedly sees borrowed books
left exposed to unnecessary risk and
treated with a carelessness from which
one s own volumes are protected. To
lend a book to a third person, without
the permission of the owner, is not only
bad manners, but failure IL trust
Should the two persons, the owner and
the stranger who wishes to read the
story, be unacquainted, the mutual
friend NAV ask If she may pass the
book. and thus assume responsibility for
its return.
ANY book which belongs 10 another
should be read as quickly as is consist
ent with convenience, and returned. For
probably it is new or has some special
interest, and if the owner does not wish
to have it around herself she has other
friends whom she would like to give the
pleasure Of reading it. TO keep 4 new
book longer than a week is inconsid
crate.
Only of ones closest friends should
one ever ask TO borrow book A per
son 5 asking either obliges the courtesy,
or else is refused and feels rebuffed.
One knows the habits of intimate
friends, and rarely runs a chance Of en-
barrassment in asking Of them.
Under no circumstances should one
ever ask to take a book which is one
Of a set. Accidents sometimes hap
pen, in spite of what one may do to
prevent, and to lose or deface such a
book is to destroy the value Of the
whole set
One woman who has many volumes,
and lends them freely, keeps close
watch of them through means Of a lend
ing book In blank book She writes
the name Of the volume and beside it
the name Of the person borrowing it
and the date on which it was taken.
When the book is returned she adds
that date. If it does not come back
after a reasonable time, which she can
tell by referring to her list, she asks
for it, This insures keeping her library
intact, but entails a good deal of work

lowing it to pass over the curve Of the
shoulder on its way from back to front
There is an erroneous meth0d-aIl
too frequently mployed-which insists
upon making women fat by filling up
the shoulder curve and by putting out the
slender neck. 1t is only the mistake Of
less experienced or an inartistic
dressmaker. The woman who makes a
study OF her patron can not possibly
stuff the figure at these points when
an alternative will do as well and bet
ter.
Keep the neck clear Of all extras.
Narrow the necktie bow or eIongate it
as the face may require, but refra II
from spreading it beyond the neck out
line. Do not overtime the collar. and
keep all stiff interlinings away from
collar and yoke. Use a narrow velvet
band at the collar 5 upper ccge if your
neck is of normal proportions, or in
crease the width Of the band if your
neck is thin. Should the neck be actu-
ally so slender as to suggest scrawni-
ness. a band of velvet round the col
lars lower e, &c will give it width
without disturbing the outline.
Fit your shoulder seams as You have
never done before if you would add
to your general grace and to the head
poise which is So desirable, and never
for a single moment, if you have once
satisfied yourself that there is no de-
formity of line, consent to nave your
neck and shoulder contour concealed.

expert workers in this country come
from Belgium, Antwerp or Amsterdam.
The American is hence excluded from
he field altogether. The average earn
ings Of the 400 polisHers, bruters and
cleavers here are respectively 500 a
week, $50 a week, ana from $4,000 to
$4,000 4 year. In the ease Of the
cIeaver the large income enjoyed is due
to the fact that he is held responsible
for faulty handling of his very costly
material.
Not many years ago. said Mr..
keene, ga diamond could be cleaved,
bruted and polished for 70 cents a
carat. In other words, a diamond could
be taken from the ground and deliver
ed finished at that carat cost. More
recently the same work has come TO S.
a carat, and with yesterdays increase
of pay to the men will reach about SO. y
In the Judgment of this merchant,
who employs about one-eighth of all
the diamond workers in the United
States, the demand for the gem is in
creasing. January. he declared, was a
banner month for importations and
sales. The imports reached the enor-
nous total of $500. 900, as against
$500, 600 or so for the previous January.

structure. Mayor Kirschman then took
the stand that he had no right to re-
build a barn which would be nuis-
ance and cause property to .deteriorats
in the neighborhood. He ordered the
barn torn down and a lawsuit against
him was filed. The matter was settled
however. by an agreement between
the mayor and Mr.. Keeney that the
barn should be allowed to remain thru
the winter until the, first of the coming
month. with certain provisions. 1t now
appears that Mr.. Keeney has evinced

did not expand and keep pace with the
constantly enlarging vineyards. When
the growers, therefore took their fresh
crop of raisins to market the dealer
pointed to his stock OF leftover raisins,
unsold from last years crop. And the
making of the price was in the hands
of the dealer, of the buyer, and not I'm
the hands and under the control of the
raisin grower.
If ever there was an example Of self
help illustrated by a farmer it was
clearly shown when the ralsin farmers
or ranchers started in educating the
public up to the uses OF raisins. and
when the raisin grower proclaimed to
the world that raisin bread was a good
thing. He was pushing a good thing
along actually better than he knew.
When you reflect upon the superlative
value of the raisin as a nutritious and
digestible food, and then think of in
cooperating it in with strong glutenous
-four and produce a delicious loaf Of
bread therefrom, you are making a
stride in domestic economy OF the ut
most consideration. ..
A loaf Of raisin bread has so much
within It, so much value as a sustain
Ing food, thar on raisin bread alone as
a diet a laborer could do the most
arduous days work and be far ahead
at the end Of the day, in every way,
than had he consumed his full portion
of meat
The combination Of wheat gluten and
starch with raisn grape sugar and
protein gluten in sense) in loaf of
bread, fills a gastronomic space in a
way few other foods will do.
So raisin bread was a new leaf turn
ed over in the domestic cookbook. and
one that has In store much goodness for
the man who grows the raisin as we'll
as the one who eats the bread not to
say anything about the pocket book
Of the housewife. .-,,
There Is raisin bread and raisin
bread again, depending upon the -four
used, the number of raisins used in a
loaf and the skill. of the housewife.
You can make Just as poor a loaf
of bread with raisins as without them,
the raisins only raising the food value
and helping out the digestibility Of the
