Mourning Novelties.

Among the novelties in mourning ac-
cessories are a sailor collar and turnback
cuffs of pure white crepe simply finished
with a one-inch hem. 1t is worn with a
blouse of dull black mousseline de sole.

brussels net finely tucked.
Another new fad is the narrow turnover
collar of hemstitched batiste. instead Of
using lawn as formerly. A third is a deep
turnover collar Of white crepe with tab
jabot to match. the whole finished with
a half-inch hem of black crepe
The fairly large turban draped with a
crepe veil and finished with a fold of
white crepe just peeping from beneath
the lower edge Of the brim is considered
quite correct for widows first mourn

Usually there is no trimming, but if a

Vegetable Salads.

While the many excellent cook books on
the market give various good recipes for
salads. 1t is from the real cooks them
selves that We get the gems. The I'M
usual salads are. as a rule. a rather ex-
pensive luxury for everyday use, the fish
salads and meat salads are fairly well
known, the vegetable salads are also be-
coming well known, such as asparagus,
cauliflower and the macedoine of vege-
tables. The ever welcome potato salad
is always a standby for the young house.
keeper in making up her daily variety.
The fruit salads are not always as popu-
lar as they should be, for many feel that
just before the dessert course they take
away the zest for the sweet to follow
Perhaps this is true. but they are so
healthy that this should be their excuse
for being.

Care of the Teeth.

Great care should be given to the selec-
ton OF powders or pastes used for cleans
ing the teeth. In view of the fact that a
woman's beauty may be married, if not
made. by her teeth, it Is wise to pay at
tentlon to whatever is applied to them.
There are many cleansing agents in which
cuttief1Sh bone, ground, is q part Used
once week. this would be harmless, but
there is sufficient roughness in the ma
terial to wear the enamel, if the former
is applied every day. Be it understood
that once the enamel, which is thin she'll
covering the tooth structure, and not the
tooth itself, is injured. cracked or worn,
trouble is bound to enSue. The tooth be-
meath the enamel is spongy. absorbing
all liquids and crumbling to pain and
destruction.
Naturally, if the enamel be not kept
white. a woman's mouth will not appear
attractive. but there are soft pastes and
powders which will do this without scrap
ing them at the same time.
A desirable paste for daily use is made
from one and one-half ounces powdered
charcoal made into a paste with strained
honey. The best results will be had by
slightly heating the honey to thin it.
When cold. the paste has more body.
Before cooling begins there should be
added one and one-half drains Of rectified
spirits and one-fourth Of dram each of
oils OF cinnamon and cloves. The liquids
should be blended previously. II. after
thorough cooling, the paste is too hard.
it may be reduced by tho addition Of q
little rose water.
A powder adapted to daily use is made
from one ounce of French magnesia, one
quarter of an ounce Of bicarbonate of
soda, one-half ounce of orris root pow
der. two and one-han drains Of green
anise seed powder. two ounces of pow
dered charcoal and two and one-half
drains Of powdered cloves. The mixture
should be sifted many times to blend
thoroughly.
Once week. or ten days, the teeth may
be cleaned with a preparation made from
one and one-half ounces each of pow
dered cuttlef1sh bone and prepared chalk,
one ounce each Of burnt hartshorn and
myrrah, and one ounce Of orris root. All
the ingredients should be powdered and
mixed as previously directed
The same tooth brush should not be
used for more than month, as after that
length OF time the bristles cease to have
value. Zach time after using a brush
should be rinsed by holding under hot
running water il possible, giving a final
bath in cold to stinen the bristles
Unless this care is given, a brush is
not fit to use. as 1t is not clean when put
into the mouth.

Pretty Little Frocks
for the Children

A decided change has come over fash
ionable mothers of small children. No
longer do they dress their little ones in
|.furbelows and frlls. The children are
now CARRIED with a severity suggestive Of
English schoolroofn modes.
They don't appear at school with white
frocks. 1t is now considered smart for
children to wear something almost APP
preaching uniform, and when playing
or going informally to see other little
friends the same plain frocks are worn
For dancing school or parties white
still holds it's own but even on these
frocks a change Is to be noted. Once
they were laden with elaborate hand
work or ruffles, but today only the small

ruff1es are so sparingly put on as to be

fact. anything a little solid looking may
be chosen. Crepe made up alone or with
fragile looking trimmings is apt to lack
character at any time, while it will surely
fail to give the impression of mourning
unless combined with something little
substantial. ELIZABETH LEE

Sweetbread Salad.

Parbol, blanch and chill one good pair
Of sweetbreads and cut them into small
pieces. Grind fine one dozen salted
almonds, six olives. one green pepper and
one gherkin pickle. Add these to the
sweetbreads with the juice of a lemon,
Juice of one onion and a wineglass of
sherry. Let stand one hour. then drain
and serve in green pepper cases with
mayonnaise dressing.
The invariable rule Of good salad maxi
ing is to have all Of the ingredients ready,
but not to mix the salad until the last
possible moment. OF course. celery, where
it Is used. holds a salad up pretty well,
but II dressed too long 1t is bound to grow

To Beautify Arms.

Pretty arms are acquired quite as
much by care as by nature. Regular use
of a good flesh brush and the nightly
application of an agent nourlshlng to the
skin will accomplish wonders. In the
present vogue Of short sleeves the re-
suit will repay the trouble.
A flesh brush is indispensable. and IN
my opinion the texture of the skin is al
ways made finer by it's use. Singularly
enough, Americans, as nation, use a

The Mimbres Valley; Where

By R. BEDICHEK, DEMING, N. N.

@REsIDENT WILLIAM HOWARD
~ TAFT IN concluding his address
before the National Conservation
congress at Kansas City. September %
1911, used the following language:
"On the whole. therefore, I think our
agricultural future is hopeful. I do
not share the pessimistio views Of many
gentlemen whose statistics differ some
what from mine, and who look forward
to strong probability OF failure of

Of persons now living. II IS true that
We snail have TO continue the improve
ment IN agriculture so as to make our
addition TO the product per acre 1 per
cent OF the crop each year, OF 10 per
cent each decade but considering what
IS done In Europe, this Is not either
lmpOsslble or improbable. The addition
TO the acreage in drainage and in irrI-
gable lands viii go Ou-musr 90 on.
The profit to the state OF TO the enter
prise which 1rrigates or drains these

not only profitable but necessary TO
carry through the project and we may
look forward 20 the middle OF this cen
fury when 200, coo 600 OF people shall
swear 1ealty TO the starry flag, as q
time when America viii stiu continue
TO feed her millions and feed them well
out Of her own soil"
"a Striking Example.
As q particular instance of the gen
eral enlargement Of the farming area Of
the United States, the Nimbres valley
furnishes striking example. Five
years ago the Mimbres valley was con
stdered dry grazing country, and the
amount Of land necessary to feed one
steer conservative stOckmen placed at
90 acres Upon this basis, the area re-
quired to support one stockman and
family was enormous. A statistician ex-
aiming the resources Of this valley at
that time would have placed the pop
ulation 1t was able TO support at only

bres valley from a stock country cap
