TROUBLE IN DINING ROOM
PhiIosophicaIIy by the Torpidville
Landlord,

AT one time yesterday it looked
like we was going to have a little
trouble here in the dining room, but 1t
didn't come to nothin' much" related
the landlord of the Torpidville tavern.
Maxine and Sylphie, the young lad
les that are waitin' table, got to squad
bin about pint of etiquette, or the
merits of their respective fellers, or
something hathaway, as ladies is
everlastinly dom, and Sylphie, reck-
on it was, told Maxine, or mebby Max
inc told Sylphie-anyhow, one told the
other that she wasn't no better than
she ort to be. And Maxine, or
Sylphie, whichever it was, got sorter
fussy about it and answered that she
was too, and she didn't care who knew
it! And then they kind O tied in on
each other and went round and round
as it were, and it took 'em quite
while after it was over to wash the
ketchup and broken glass out of their
Golfers, as they call their hair. But
that's all it amounted to, and there's
no use in firm EN-, for ladies will be
ladies and there amt no help for It,"

FEEDING CATTLE
FOR FIRST TIME
Profit Depends on Steady, Con-
sistent Gains From
Rati0nS.

Those who are feeding cattle for the
first time this season should remember
that getting a bunch of steers on full
feed is matter that requires about a
months time. High.pressure feeding Is
an entirely different proposition from
ordinary rations and the animal must
gradually get accustomed to the
change II he is to continue to make
consistent gains throughout the feed
ing period. Most feeders prefer to
start Their cattle on grass, giving a
few stalks of fodder corn a day to
each steer and gradually increasing.
The change is then made to snapped
corn fed in the hunks, the final change
then being made to husked corn or
whatever form the grain is fed in.
Every time the ration is changed
such changes should be made gradual
ly. This applies especially to the first
few weeks in which the feeding is
started and to the latter period Of the
feeding operation. when there Is the
more danger of getting the stock off
feed. And remember, the profit in
feeding cattle depends on steady, con.
sistent gains, meaning good returns
for the feed consumed, every time
they get off feed meaning just 80
much lost time.

the Farm Magazine. About three or
four pounds of saltpeter is used to
1000 pounds Of hams: Fine salt is
then rubbed over the entire surface
and the hams are packed in bulk not
deeper than three feet. In ordinary
weather they should remain thus for
several days, at least three. Then
break the bulk and resalt with fine
salt and again pack. Each ham should
remain In bulk at least one day for
each pound of weight. The hams are
then hung up and gradually smoked
for 30 or 40 days with hickory or red

piete they should be repeppered and
placed In canvass bags to guard

FAVORS ONE-PIECE DRESSES
School Principal Insists Garment
Is the Best Possible for the
Growing Young Lady.

The head Of the biggest trade school
for girls in New York declares that
the present style of one-piece dresses
is the ideal costume for growing girls
THE short-waisted style Of dress,
with its wider girth at the high waist
line and its general looseness, hang
ing straight from the shoulder is the
ideal sort of frock for a young girl
to wear" the principal said. ut is
not only comfortable, neat, easy to
put on and simple and pretty in cut
but it has another immense advan'
tage, bigger than all of these, al
though these should be sufficient to
recommend 1t to mothers.
1T is cut In such a way that if a
girl is taught to carry herself upright
walking with her body held properly
and sitting erect and without SLOUGH
ing, she need wear no corset. For a
girl who must have room to grow
and to breathe right, plenty Of space
is necessity, and corset is not de.
sirable.
"The philosophy Of the dress Is
this: With a long-waisted dress, as
when girl wears skirt and shirt
waist the skirt is fastened tightly
around the smallest part of the body
This prevents free breathing and with
this style some kind of corset is a
necessity.
"But with the waist line higher
and as large around as the largest
part of the body, as Is shown in what
is called the empire style of gown
the unpleasant small-waisted effect

waist may be large, but it is not no.
ticed. The skirt hangs in straight
lines from the larger line just below
the arms and looks we'll If the girls
keeps her body erect and stands or
sits in graceful, even position, the
effect is excellent without a corset
The plan would encourage girls to
take care how they stand or walk or
breathe, and this itself would be
good for them"

PREPARATION FOR RAINY DAY
Supply Of Clean, Dry Sand VIII Pro-
vide Amusing Occupation for the
Little Ones.

The outdoor sand pile is a time
honored institution, but out of doors
offers many other attractions, so we
improved on the idea.
A box was made, about nine inches
high, and in other dimensions just a
little smaller than the nursery bed. 1t
was fitted with casters, lined with a
pale green oilcloth, and box plait
ing of green denim was put around the
outside with brass-headed tacks. Next
a barrelful of fine white sand was put
inland the stormy day problem was
solved
The little maid, less than a year
old, when the box was first introduced
was perfectly safe, and she never
seemed to tire of it's endless attrac-
tons. Nearly all her toys were kept
there; old playing cards would stand
up in the sand to form houses and
fences; trains of cars had much bust
ness to transact and many hours
were spent just ladling the sand into a
big, thick bottle with an old tin spoon
and pouring it out again.
The little occupant was taught from
the first that no sand was to 60 on the
floor, and we never had the least trou-
BILE even after the little sister came
to share the box few years later In
deed, it proved the cheapest, safest
and best device that ever was invent
ed for keeping the little ones happily
entertained.

Faded Frocks.

Some one may have a pink cotton
or linen dress in good condition, but
badly faded. II 80, put a piece of Tur-
key red cheesecloth in water and boil
until the color is the desired one. The
dress will dry bit lighter than when
wet and will leave an even color all
over, says the Modern Priscilla. One
eighth Of a yard of cheesecloth is
more than enough for dress. Navy
blue cheesecloth may be used in the
same manner to freshen the color of
a light blue dress. 1t is best to try a
sample of material in the dye to get
the right shade before putting in the
whole dress.
