SOMETHING OF A NOVELTY
Inexpensive Lamp Shades May Be De-
signed From the Ordinary
Japanese Lanterns.


An inexpensive. novel and pretty
way Of making lamp shades, especial
ly for the summer cottages, is to uti-
lie Japanese lanterns. The kind used
are the rather large, oval-shaped ones
in either a solid color or half one and
half another. The upper part to the
desired depth is cut OF. guided by the
small bamboo bands which stiffen and
fold 1t, and is neatly trimmed of. At
the top, which is finished by black
wooden band. the wire hanger is re-
moved and in place of 1t one of two
or three supports substituted. One
consists of three wires. equidistant
around the top. and bent so as to
hang over the top of the lamp chin
ney. Another method is regular
support fitting the top and attached to
the lamp at the base of the chimney;
or else the lower edge of the shade
may be wired and the usual tripod
support be used.
l made two like this using the first
mentioned style of hanging Just for
fun this summer. and the cheerful,
red-fgured Japanese lily shades made
such hit that all my neighbors made,
or had me make, the same things for
them.--Harper's Bazaar

CHARACTER SHOWN BY DRESS
Value, as Setting for tho Personality,
Varies With the Moods of
tho Wearer.

No woman can afford to be indiffer-
ent in the matter of costume, and all
women are more or less Influenced by
what they wear.
One damsel swaggers about in mas
culine effects. heavy boots, stiff collar,
tailored coat, etc.. another is sweetly
feminine in fluffy ruffies, picture hat,
chiffons. laces and parasol. and the
indiffereice to appearances is almost
invariably exactly what she looks
straight-laced. prim. severe, cold, in
capable of any flight of fancy, lacking
the power of sympathy, and with no
intricate uncertainties to soften the
hardness Of her character.
Equally true is the fact that gown
which Is extremely becoming today is
very mediocre tomorrow. Its value as
a setting for the personality varies
with the moods of the wearer. When
disbursement. depression and gen.
eral feeling of dullness envelops one
in gray cloud the tendency is TO don
black, gray or a dull brown gown
Such a choice is a great mistake, tend
Ing to accentuate the gloom about the
wearer Crush such choice under
foot and choose instead the llveliest
dress in your wardrobe. Something
with red, brilliant green, bright blue
or any vivid tone.

MP 0RTANCE OF DISINFECTINC
AFTER OUTBREAK OF DISEASE
Practice Not Entirely
rdars IS OF fnform mafio rnin
Practical Methods OF
Procedure of

accustomed to the work, disinfection
may seem a most complicated proc
ess. Any approved method, however,
is comparatively simple when carried
out carefully. although like many
another procedure 1t is one in which
attention to details counts for much.
1t is important to bear in mind that
the causative agents OF many dis
eases are extremely small and may
remain for an indefinite time in dust.
cracks. and crevices OF buildings, SO
that efforts aiming at the eradication
OF disease from contaminated prem
ises must be thorough in order to be
effective
In the work of disinfectfon nature
has provided man with a most valu-
able ally-sunlight. It is well known
that the direct rays OF the sun are
destructive to many forms OF bac-
terra, in some cases destroying them
and In others IessenIng their infiu-
ence. Thus the Importance OF we'll
lighted stables is evident The dark
and sunless building Will be favor
able breeding place for bacteria. and
the structure which admits the great
est amount OF sunlight will be the
least favorable for their development.
Again. heat will destroy the bacteria
OF disease BY this is not meant the
ordinary heat OF the sun, but heat as
developed in boiling water or in
flame 1t is upon this principle that
the surgeon before operating renders
his Instruments free from tue possi-
BILE presence of bacteria by boiling,
and 1t is heat which renders Jet OF
live steam destructive to bacteria
Sunlight, however, cannot be consid-
cred more than an accessory in the
destruction of bacteria, while the ap-
plication of heat in the form OF steam
or flame is seldom possible. The re-
suit is that in the practical work of
disinfection we are dependent upon
certain drugs. which have power to
destroy the organisms OF disease.
Such drugs are known as disin-
Iectants. and. fortunately. we have at
hand number that possess the pow
er OF destroying bacteria.
Bichlorid of mercury also known as
corrosive sublimate and mercuric
Chord, chlorid of lime. formalde-
hyde. carbolic acid, crude carbolic
acid, cresoi. and compound solution OF
cresol, are such drugs. They have
only to be brought in contact with
the bacteria in order to destroy them.
Before either of the above are
used, however. the farmer should
study their peculiar characteristics
and use the one best suited to his
purpose. Violent poison should not
be used unless the user of the dis
infectant is familiar with it and its
results.
In the practical work of disinfec-
tion there are three essentials:
1. A preparation OF the building
that will facilitate reaching organisms
OF disease.
2. A disinfectant which upon con-
tact can be depended upon to destroy
such organisms.
3. A method of applying the dis
infectant that will assure the most
thorough contact with the bacteria.

also well known that these germs
vary in form and other characteristics
and that for each disease OF an In

The work of disinfection is based
upon our recognition OF the presence
OF disease germs, md disinfection
means the act of destroying the
cause of the infection. In otner words,
disinfection is removal OF tho cause,

man that in dealing with disease any

It has been found that the average

WORN AT RECENT WEDDING
Costumes Of Bride and Attendants
That Were the Last Word for
Such Occasions.

At a recent wedding OF Importance
some of the costumes were note
worthy.
The brides gown was OF silver and
white brocaded satin. elaborately en-
broidered and trimmed with aIencen
lace. The square court train was
three yards in length
1t was almost completely covered
with a veil of rare old lace, family
heirloom.
The honor maid wore dainty frock
of palest pink mousseline de sole over
faint tint OF blue liberty silk.
The bodice had dropped fichu OF
finest Chantilly lace caught slightly
to the left side with cluster of small
silk roses. In the pastel shades OF vio.
let, pink and yellow.
A deep fiounce of six scalloped pIeat-
ings of the mousseline trimmed the
skirt. Small clusters OF the roses
were placed at intervals around the
fiounce.
With this gown was worn fas-
cinating bonnet of shirred mousseline
de sole of palest blue. A narrow
pleating finished the edge and q
wreath OF small silk roses, matching
those used upon the frock. encircled
the crown and adorned the bonnet

Look out for the cars-even If you
are on the right track,
A kiss in haste may be worth two at
leisure-and it may not.
Set others good example by CIV
ing yourself square deal.
When monopolists can't buy what
they want they simply take it.
A woman is more careful Of her
complexion II she purchased 1t.
A girl hasn't much faith in prayer II
she continues to have freckles.
Most men are willing to forgive and
forget-if the price is satisfactory
Every cloud may have a silver lin
lug, but it's always on the other side.
And the matrimonial game is apt to
begin with cut glass and end with
broken china.
II G. Washington was never asked
by fond mother what he thought of
her cute baby. then it may be true
that he never told lie.
A little tip will often cure waiter
of deafness.
A man can enjoy reading a mother

The building of spite fence is an
insult your neighbors can't overlook.

THE
YIELD OF GRASS
Among Four Chief Essentials are
Smooth Surface, PFepara-
ton, Good Seed and
Fertility.
(By r.. B. RusH1Naa

Farmers who content themselves
with two tons or less cannot under
stand how yields of three or four tons
even more are obtained. There are,
however, four chief essentials; a
smooth surface. with oven. steady
grade. thorough preparation Of the
soil. and abundance of good, healthy
seed and plenty of fertility and to
which might be added the proper
amount of moisture
Where land is stumpy or rocky, 1t
may be considerable expense to re-
move them. but to obtain the greatest
amount of grass 1t must be done. The
rocks must either be sunk or hauled
away and the surface smoothed so as
to give a gentle grade A little de-
preston where the water can stand
may cause a patch of grahss to die
out and few patches will kill q
hundred pounds of hay.
After this thorough grading the
land is thoroughly fitted. This does
not mean just plowed and narrowed
In the ordinary way. / prefer the use
of cut-away disc, which does the
work just the opposite to the turning
plow
The continued working of the soil
with the cut-away clears the soil of
foul stun and gives the new seeding
chance. The soil should be worked
over with the cutaway and the
smoothing harrow many times. not
all at once, but continued through
July and August In this way, when
ready to seed the soil is certainly as
fine as an ash heap
The seed then should be put ON
carefully and accurately. so as to have
every square inch Of surface covered,
thus having two blades of grass where
one formerly was.
The question frequently asked is:
Why is this large amount of potash
necessary? No one who has ever
used fertilizers on grass need be told
that nitrogen gives the grass rich,
green color and makes it grow very
rapidly

SALT NECESSARY
FOR ALL FOWLS
In Order To Guard Against Any
ID ffcieacy It Is Well
to F>ed for Lack of
Pa1atabiItt

Salt in some quantity 10 a neces-
sity to the living animal. Some food
contains all that is probably needed,
but the amount IN others is small
In order to guard against any pos
sible deficiency 1t is well to feed some
salt, especially II it increases lhe
palatability of the ration.
Moderate quantitle~ O. salt had
been fed to poultry with apparent ad-
vantage. but he limitations of its
use were not known. A feeding trial
was therefore made with twelve
hens to get some suggestion as to the
approximate limit OF its safe feeding
to mature fowls For one lot OF hens
salt was mixed in the food, increasing
In amount by periods of feeding. I'm
til 1t was fed a. the rate OF .O63
ounces per day. per fowl tnearly one
half pint per day for 100 hens) no
bad effects were noticed.
With this amount. however, diar-
rhoea attacked few OF the hens, but
the trouble disappeared when the
amount of salt in the food was re-
duced about one-third. When the
hens were allowed free access to
boxes of course barrel salt, not
enough was eaten to show any Ill ef-
feet, either by hens that had been fed
salt freely for two months or by those
that had been without any for the
same time.
Little significance was attached to
the egg yield from the old hens fed
at an unproductive time of year, but
twice as many eggs were obtained
from the salt-fed hens as from the
others 80 there was no indication OF
unfavorable effect In this direction.
When reporting the experiment 1t
was suggested that salt at the rate OF
ono ounce per day for 100 matured
fowls could be fed without risk. In
later feeding 1t was found that five
ounces of salt in every 100 pounds
Of food was a safe proportion The
etation has not advised the feeding
of any salt to young chicks or until
they are two or three months old.

for lawsuit as Dodgin had for man

"Dodgin was the new manager OF q

face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health Itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev.
cry woman is regularity OF the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes. bad breath. frequent headaches.
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is In most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion. or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective. Is
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording moro
than temporary relief.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild In its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive In
its effect. strengthening the muscles
OF stomach and bowels SO that after
short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
