kept warm. Consequently fruit kept
at temperature of 80 degrees F. will
keep three or four times as long as
when kept at so degrees F. The best
temperature for fruit In cold storage
is 81 to 80 degrees F.
Most cellars are poor for storage
purposes. They either contain fur
mace and are too warm or they are
poorly drained and damp. A damp cell

Hats Worn over the Face.

Hats tend to the quaint feminine
lines. The Marie Antoinette pokes are
popular after many seasons of efforts
to revive this picturesque shape. This
fashion has led to tendency to push
the hat down over the eyes. In fact,
this may be said to be the newest
feature-the hat turned up in the
back with broad bow, and worn we'll

hats have the bow repeated on top. but

Dangerous Roots.

Stock raisers are cautioned against
feeding sugar beets and mangels to
breeding animals. In a series of ex-
periments the Iowa station found that
sugar beets and mangels favor the
formation of kidney and bladder stones
when fed to breeding rams" and that
1T is very probable that these roots
have the same effect when fed to ewes
or to cattle" In view Of the fatal re-
suits often attending the formation Of
these stones 1t Is deemed inadvisa BILE
to feed sugar beets and mangels to
breeding animals; but there appears
to no particular danger In feeding
these roots ito fattening animals, as
the stones are not likely to develop
sufficiently during the fattening period
to cause such results"

Lengthening the Life
