To Wool Growers and Dealers.

1t is not so much any special
characteristic of breeding or peculi-
arty of fibre that gives it preference
as it is the manner of preparation
for market. Manufacturers nova
days want wool for specific pur-
poses. They do not make goods
from what they happen to get. For
eien wool comes here graded as to
quality, each fleece by itself, free of
tags and skirts, practically freeof
vegetable matter and seldom tied.
Against this the domestic grower
offers his product often thrown to-
get her any old way. tags usually in
cluded, sometimes bits of black, dead
and cotted, more or less chaff and
burrs and the whole thing surround
ed with large quantity of so-called
wool twine." This list looks large
but it sits down to two main sub
jects. care in bundling and hon
esty IN the contents. The net cost
of proper preparation is small, The
use of sisal twine was willingly
stopped by growers some two years
ago, and resulted in winning back
mills that previously had refused to
buy because OF its use. More re-
Gently. however. manufacturers of
Irvine have been putting out a
commodity known as wool twine"
which is not at all satisfactory. 1t is
so loose and rough in its formation
that many Of the tibers cling to the

necessary to post the local supply

may place their orders with the
manufacturers of twine early. We
have made a canvas Of the manu-

your efforts in not only notifying
the farmers but also the dealers of

The matter of including tags and
other foreign matter is covered by
state laws. The neglect of enforce
ment has brought about its own
punishment. Worsted manufacture
ers cannos use tags. If included in
fieeces they must either resell them
or stop buying fieeces; many prefer
to cut out fieeces. Of course tags
will not bring as much by them

Sensible Women Know

AS health talks to women become
more general, both in the newspapers
and on the platform, the mass of women

good health cannot be found in a powder
box. The externals of health may be
obtained in that way, but the basis of
health lies deeper, and yet is just as
easily obtained.
The most important thing that a
woman can do for herself, and about
which she is often most neglectful, is
to watch the condition of her stomach
and bowels. The weary eyes, the bad
breath, the frequent headaches, the
pimples, the general air of lassitude is

simple remedies can be obtained, but
