By GLADYS zELL,

T SPEND half an hour every day on
"prettying" up and two hours on
Sunday Few girls have more
time than that to devote to their looks,
and if one gives this amount of time
regularly to ones personal appearance
there is no reason why one should not
always be wen groomed.
This is how I manage: l divide the
time up in two parts-fifteen minutes
in the morning and the same at night.
OF course, l am not counting the time
spent on dressing and daily bath,
which should just take five minutes. If
you keep your hands. hair and face in
good order and take one hour week
for mending your clothes, you will find
that you can dress very quickly and
you are really not spending any more
time in "beautifying" than the girl who
just dawdles around when she should
be getting dressed
Before | go to bed every night

clock That doesn't seem a long time
when you say five minutes, but if you
are brushing it gives you plenty of OPP
portunity TO shine and brighten your
hair and make it glossy and smooth.

get a good cleansing cream, which
use in quantities and rub this on my
face thoroughly This doesn't take
more than minute, and the cream has
already made my fingers greasy, so
am ready to give five minutes to mani
curing. l use the same cream to soften
the cuticle around the edge of the
nails and, as | do il every night, thy
cuticle never has to be cut, but can be
pressed down with a little orange wood
stick and then with the finger ard the
edge of the towel. l give my nails a
touch with the emery board, shaping
them a little every night, so they very
seldom have to be cut at all, us | keep
them filed down in this way. After the
cuticle is softened and the nail nicely
shaped I put on a little more of the
cream, dip my buffer in the polishing
powder and polish my nails for about d
minute One minute a day is plenty
long enough to produce and keep a nice
polish on the nails. provided, of course
you don't omit a single evening
Now ! wash my hands in warm
water and then in cold and have used
five more minutes of my evening time
The cold rinsing water which 1 use for
my hands l dabble over my face and

pinching my cheeks hard This brings
color into the cheeks and the cold water
is fine tonic. After two or three min
utes wipe my face off thoroughly on a
soft towel the cream bringing all the
impurities with it. In all, l spend fif-
teen minutes on myself, but l don't
stop for a second and whatever l am
doing | do it with all my might and

massage or cleaning my nails.

After that wipe the neck off with a

FATTEN HOGS ON SOY BEANS
Combined With Corn 1t Will Pro-
duce Remarkable ResuIts-Gan
of One Pound Daily.

Those who live in the regions where
the soy bean thrives-a pretty big
area that-may find that crop a
money-maker as means of fattening
hogs, says an Alabama bulletin
Corn alone, as is now we'll recog-
nized. is a deficient food for pigs, al
though many farmers still use it ex-
clusively. But combine it with a pas
tureage of such material as the soy
bean and the results are remarkable
In Alabama the average daily gain for
hogs fed on corn alone was two-fifths
of a pound. whereas when soy bean
nasturage was substituted for part of
the corn ration the gain was raised to
more than pound daily.
Expressed in another way, it cost
~ cents pound for the hogs gain
in weight when he was fed corn, but
only 8 cents pound with the COM
mon feed. The difference is rather a
nice margin of profit

so that one may breed what he can
get best prices for. He must acquire
knowledge that will enable aim to
breed his mares to- such stations as
will produce what he desires.
The breeder should read the agricul-
tural press and the government bulie-
tins to learn what other breeders are
doing. In this way he will learn many
things of great value to him. He
will also learn much at the Institutes,
and by attending the fairs and horse
shows he can see for himself what
others are doing. He should be on the
lookout at all times for things that
will enable him to do his work TO bet

Popular French Coins.

Writing from Paris, Victor Aubur
tin says of the New French coins that
fer hygienic reasons and to reduce the
weight the old coppers will soon be
replaced in the circulating currency
by little nickel pieces, some of which
will have holes. No one will deny,
he says, that the copper pieces are un-
clean and that they may be the means
of spreading disease, but still the
French people will part with them re-
luctantIy. The pieces coined in the
early SOS bear Napoleon's head. In
1859, after Solferino, laurel wreath
was put on the head. The coins of the
republic had handsome women's heads.

knowledge and skill are two things

breeding Theory may be Of some as
sistance, but knowledge and expert

success.
We may reason out that such and
such thing is proper, but experience
may prove that our reasoning was en-
tirely wrong.
The breeder must have some knoWl-

The man who breaks animals that
suit his own fancy may have some
thing that there is no demand for.

sOLAcE IN HIS MISFORTUNE
Entombed Miner Had at Least One
Pleasant Thought After Two
Days Of Suffering.

Miners are among the most heroic
people in the world. Danger Is always
beside them, and they are schooled to
believe that at any time they may
come face to face with death. The re-
suit of this is that they are humorous
in their boldness.
In one of the mines of Pennsylvania
there was a cave-in which imprisoned
a miner named Jack Thornton. The
accident happened on Friday after
noon. and the fellow laborers of the
entombed man set to work at once TO
dig him out. It was not until Sunday
morning, however. that they reached
his prison chamber, and by this time
they were wondering whether he had
been suffocated or starved to death.
One of them stuck his head through
the aperture made by the picks OF
the rescuers and called out:
Jack, are you all right?"
"All right" came the reply, and then

cultivation may be deep for this rea-
