the splendid presentation of the needs
Of such a session by the Duluth
Herald has stirred the people pro-

there will be any extra session. The
pressure from the people would be 80
strong that some reform legislation
would have to be enacted. And the

more legislation.

TO COVER THE FURNITURE
Cretonne Slips Are Among the Pret-
tiest Things That Can Be Used
for This Purpose.

Few women realize how pretty and
from cretonne and other figured
material, or more housewives would
make use of such slips in renovating
old and worn furniture. Incidentally,
these modern "slips" can be made by
a woman who has had any experience
models for chair covers, ETC., can be
best made by cutting a design from
three-cent cambria and fitting 1t
snugly with pins to the furniture.
When the exact dimensions of each
piece are complete in cambria these
trial "slips" must be unpinned and
laid on Tie material from which the
slips" are to be constructed.
It is not necessary to bind the
seams in these slips. Indeed, in a
figured fabric the effect of such seams
is undesirable. On plain, dun-colored
fabrics life is introduced by the use
of red or blue braid on the seams.
With figured goods, French scanning
is best 1t makes a firm and neat
finish, and obviates the use of an
other color

They are precisely what they are

POULTRY HOUSE IN WINTER
No Matter What style OF Structure Is
Used Plenty Of Sunshine Is Quite
Essential.
Rv w. NJ. KELLEY

Whatever style of poultry house is
used, we find it highly essential that
one side be well supplied with win
dows so that plenty of light and sun
shine reach the corners OF the build
ing. With no place but open trees for
the flock and the mercury down pref
ty low, the fountain of eggs will be
completely frozen up. At all times,
when they are kept inside, give the
birds fresh earth occasionally in order
that they may replenish their grind.
ing organs with pebbles. They should
also have dust to dust themselves in
and be fed meat in some form, either
cut bone and meat scraps from some
nearby market, or purchased animal
foods. A boiled liver from butcher,
cut up fine, is excellent. A little
chopped cabbage or mashed vegetable
food with ground bones, crushed
oyster shell, etc., will complete a diet
that should produce excellent results.
Feed regularly every morning and
the hens will be found waiting for
their breakfast. Hot buckwheat cakes
and table scraps with drink of skim
milk occasionally make one Of the
best balanced ratiOns that can be
found for few hens. 1t is my opin-
ion that the fact that a few hens pro-
duce better results than a large num-
Der is due in a measure to table
scraps forming a large proportion of
their ration.

a Touch of Lace.

A bit of real lace gives touch OF
richness to a costume that cannot be
gained in any other way, and many
Of these held first rank. Duchess,
Point, Rosaline and the fascinating
Carrick ma Cross gladdened the eye
But the girl who is handy with the
needle can do wonders in the way OF
initiating these imported novelties
with small lengths of laces picked up
at odd times in her shopping exped1-
tions. These can be deftly plated or
draped, or whipped around a strip OF
hand embroidery to form dainty bit
of neckwear. Almost any sort OF lace
is used this season from fine mesh to
the heavy Irish, so that old pieces of
lace that have been laid away can
once more be brought forth with the
knowledge that they are again in
vogue.

HENS CANNOT FEED VERMIN
Best Results Cannot Be Expected if
PulIets Not Furnished With Com

(By r. q. wEATHERsToNE1

No use to expect the best results in
the matter of laying if you allow your
pullets to stay in dirty winter quar-
tiers. Get busy with the white-wash
brush and the kerosene spray and
clean, clean, clean. Not only inside
the house, but the premises all
around it.
If you have SO pullets for your lay
ing bunch it will take about two
hours to dust them and time cannot
be better spent. Let one person hold
the pullets by the legs while the other
fires Persian insect powder into the
feathers with powder gun. Get it
under the wings, around the head,
neck and every place where the
feathers are soft and fine, for there is
where the mites and lice love to cud-
die and feast.
Referring to the use of the kero-
sene spray, fill the roosts and all the
cracks around the nests and roofing
with it, for it is there the pestiferous
mites hide. You know body lice re-
main on the fowls all the time, but
the mites seek the roosts and cracks

FOR SHAWL SCARFS
One of the Prettiest and Most Sensible
of the Present Seasons
Fashions.

Silk damasks are used in the fash
Joining of the broad shawl scarfs that
are fashionable. They have the air
of having once covered sofas and
chairs of the grand monarch period.
These scarfs are so ample that
when wound about the figure they are
as warm as coat. The colors are ex-
ouisite. A blurred design in Japanese
red, which has all the romance of the
east in it, is most effective. A mel
low thistle blue shade and peculiar
green that is named after the Nile, yet
which makes the old-fashioned Nile
green seem inspired, is used with ex-
cellent effect.
These are often bordered with mara
bou and are often thrown over the
shoulders with the defiant abandon of
the Spaniard's cloak.
