Backache is heavy burden;
Nervousness wears one out;
Rheumatic pain; urinary ills;

For the silver Mesh Bag.

On account of its durability the sill
yer mesh bag will not go out Of ex-
istence for some time to come. In
fact, as there is wide sale of them
still being made, 1t Is wise to keep
them In the highest luster of which
you are capable. Where there is moth
ing but silver in the makeup of your
bag the best cleaner is rather strong
solution Of ammonia and water. In
which the bag can be boiled for the
short space Of a minute, and then
shook about in 1t so as to dislodge ev-
cry little particle of dust. You will
be surprised how much dust this pro-
cess will show up.

APPROPRIATE FOR THE NECK
Pretty Things That Have Been Given
the Sanction of Best-Dressed
Partisan Women.

The jabots. plisses and rabats are
more important than ever in the
decoration of separate blouses and
bodies of one-piece frocks. Here are
some notes taken at showing in one

The larger the better. This seems
to be the rule for fashioning frills
of either lace or linen.
One-sided effects predominate A
central strip of lace, tucked material
or embroidery is fianked on one side
by an immense frill. Beading, eyelet
embroidery. lace, heavy and fine, may
be used at the line of junction, and
ball fringe has made its appearance
on some novelties.
Pleatings of net are edged with lace
motifs in heavy Oriental weaves or
fine valenciennes. Sometimes a
pleated frill will be edged with two
or three other frills of pleated lace.
The possibilities of variety are unlim-
tied.
Jabots or plisses are extremely wide
and long. In the majority of cases
they extend to the waistline and over
as far as the shoulder. The shape is
generally broader at the top than at
the bottom.
Black buttons of satin or velvet are
introduced on lace

BEST COLOR FOR CURTAINS
Strange That Gray, So EminentIy
Appropriate, Has Not Been More
Largely Made Use OF.

In one of the popular plays of the
day the woman who is artistic will
get an idea we'll worth following as to
house decoration. In one of the
scenes a room is decorated with gray
curtains.
Why. says the artistic woman, has
she not thought of gray curtains be-
fore? Why adhere to blue and brown,
rose and white, when gray makes a
frame for the outside world that is
inimitable? 1t softens the garish
brightness Of an azure sky. and drapes
the sad day with sympathetic har-
mony. Moreover. a gray tone with
any room is never obtrusive, does not
weary the senses, is dignified. charm
ing and picturesque. It is, in short, a
perfect choice.
Gray curtains made Of chintz,
China silk and sheeting, or the
sumptuous brocade and satin, are the
ideal accompaniment Of the house
where every color scheme Is kept in
low tones. The result is a habitation
very soothing to the eyes and nerves
and one of which nobody wearies
quickly.
White walls go well with gray cur
tains and they should be hung with
engravings. Steel tenders and fire
irons complete the picture and the
electric light fittings match. The
mahogany furniture shines and the
damask and silver that deck the table
at meal times are at once simple and
splendid in design. Solid comfort Is
the motto of the home, and curtains
Of gray will carry out this motto.

Is noticeably softer for some time
back.
One Of the latest ideas in children's
hairdressing is the Transformation of
the Dutch style into Louis XVI Pc
riod.
1t consists Of having the cropped
hair curled and falling in long ring
let's, completely surrounding the head,
from ear to ear, instead of being
combed down straight.
The arrangement is decidedly
quaint and pretty. 1t will be becom-
ing to even greater number OF chill
dren than was the harsher Dutch style.

Protecting Rose. In Winter.

After a mild summer and fall, a
severe winter is very hard on both
utility and ornamental vegetation, as
the growth is very green and unripe.
Amongst the first to suffer would be
varieties Of roses. and their protec-
ton should be attended to before
the slightest frost occurs.
Take wood rammer and ram the
soil as hard as a road all around each
plant; then place forkful or two OF
stable or COW manure round the stem.
Let this come up a little way under
the branches, but not far, as 1t is the
neck or collar that wants wrapping.
and If this is protected. there is little
danger of the plants being injured.

Beware Of Cheap Bills.

An examination OF paper currency
by Warren H. Hilditch OF Yale showed
an average Of one hundred and forty
two thousand bacteria to the bill.
Twenty-one bills were examined. and
while some were relatively clean, car
rying only trifie OF fourteen thou
sand living things. others swarmed to
the figure OF five hundred and eighty
six thousand. And, strange to say. the
bacteria did not seem to swarm to
the $1,000 bills In preference to the
81 bills.
This shows that II is far healthier
to carry $1,000 bills about than 1t is
to tote 81 bills. Here is valuable
financial hint

KILLING INSECTS
DURING WINTER
Nothing xs Quite So Effsctavs -
O4ggfnG Out Heart OF Ant
Mound and Flooding
With Water.
Rx q. H. aL1rzKEA

CBy q. H. GLITzKE.)
The common red ants do a great BIT
OF damage to the alfalfa fields in some
sections Of the country. The spots
where they kill the alfalfa are usually
only about square yard or two
where they build their mounds, but q
great many Of these in the field count
for quite large patch where no al
falfa grows.
Some people try to destroy them by
sinking bottles into their mounds 80
that the ants fall into them.
This system is not always effective
as 1t is hard to trap them all and as
long as few remain the trouble will
continue.
There is nothing quite as effective
as the winter killing which consists
In digging out the heart OF the
mounds In the winter and then pour
ing water into the excavation thus
made 30 1t soaks into the ground and
freezes those that may still be living.
This method usually proves very
satisfactory. Out OF a large field
where they were killed in this way
during the last winter only very few
OF the many ant hills had any ants
remaining In them by spring and 1t is
quite evident that II the work had
been done more carefully every one
OF them would have been killed.
The work should be done very
thoroughly. 1t does not take much
digging at each mound, but 1t should
be done in the winter time SO there is
no chance for them to rebuild and
the weather is SO cold that they must
freeze.
Where other methods have failed
this has done the work.

dirt.
The box stalls In both the COW and
horse barn are so constructed that the
inmates can have a good view OF the
other animals. They like company
and will do better II they can see
their neighbors.
The floors Of the COW stable, the
milk room. feed room and silo, are OF
cement. the gutter being formed In
the hoor. with a four-inch drain at
the rear. leading to the manure pit.
The stalls are made to At both long
and short cows. The first stall, in
front, is four feet wide and fve feet
long. The rear stall Is three feet six
inches wide, and four feet eight inches
long. The stalls slope from the front
to the rear. each stall being slightly
shorter than the one next to n.
The floor Of the horse stable may
be made of cement or clay; but the
writer prefers clay for horses. and we
quite agree with him. for horses con-
fined on cement floors are apt to In
