Clothes for small children are smart

fact speaks volumes for the increas-
Ing good taste among American moth
ers. but 1t does not By any means I'M
ply that those mothers give less
thought and care to the dressing OF
their small folk than they once did,
according to the New York Sun.
On the contrary, smart simplicity II
a matter calling for more ingenuity In
designing than any amount OF elsbora-
ton. One may dress 4 small girl or
boy prettly, modishly and simply By
merely buying with taste moderately
priced rsaAy-msds garments or by
choosing attractive materials and
making them up on noe tpted and gen-
orally useful lines: but II Z mother
wants originality with simplicity and

BEsT RESULTS IN LAUNDRY
Care Of Delicate Fabrics 10 Important
-Glycerin Excellent TO Re-
move Stains.

Fine Irish crochet may be beauti-
fully washed by being placed In hot
suds in a narrow jar, shaken well and
allowed to stand for few hours.
This insures no broken threads. Irish
crochet should be pinned to the IRON
ing board and allowed to dry.
Wash fine lingerie blouses as usual
but do not starch. When dry dip in
borax water, using one tablespoonful
of borax to one quart of warm water.
Wiring out and fold In towel for q
few hours. Then iron dry. The
waists will not get mussed nearly as
much as when starched, and they are
much easier to iron.
To remove old tea and coffee stains
wet the stains with cold water. cover
with glycerin and let stand for two
or three hours, then wash in cold wa
ter and soap. Repeat IL necessary.
Before washing ebony brushes
smear little good vaseline over the
backs. This prevents the ammonia
or soda water In which they are
washed from injuring the ebony. The
vaseline should afterward be care
fully rubbed on and the backs pol
ished with dry cloths.

TREATING HORSE FOR WORMS
Three Different Remedies Given, Any
One Of Which viii Be Found to
Be Quite Effective.

This is one of the best worm de
stroyers for unthrifty colts and horses
that we have ever tried: Mix together
one pound each of sugar and salt; in
this mix one-half pound of fine smok-
ing tobacco, six ounces OF powdered
sulphate of iron. AS dose for ma
ture horse give heaping tablespoon
full in wheat bran mash every morn
ing for two weeks. Colts should be
given in smaller proportion to size and
age. -
A veterinary supply house advises
! the following remedy for worms IN
horses: Give teaspoonful OF pow
dered copper sulphate every morning
! In feed for three or four days, then
give two ounces of turpentine In a
pint of raw linseed oil. Feed soft feed
and keep the infected animal in the
stable while under this treatment.
A veterinary physician, signing NO
name, suggests this treatment in an
exchange: Clear the bowels by allow
ing the horse to fast over night and
give in the morning two ounces OF
turpentine in pint Of raw linseed oil
or cruel, followed in the course Of an
hour with a bran mash; repeat this
for two or three mornings Santosin
in half or one ounce doses, made into
powders, with linseed meal. may be
given to valuable horses for two or
three mornings in succession, fol.
lowed by a cathartic.

Rack for Feeding Cattle.

apart, and to these posts securely nail
two-by-twelves, one above and two be-
low, leaving spaces between the two
upper ones through which the cattle
may put their heads and eat. A stack
of hay may be put in the rack, if
desired. After the stack is fed out
several loads may be thrown into the
rack and forked to the outside as the
cattle eat it, The shape of the rack
enables it to stand very much press

CAVE. FULL OF COPPER BELLS

Members of the Archaeological
School OF America have been keenly
interested in story told by A. Hooton
Blakiston, president Of Mexican de-
velopment company, who IL one OF the
most devoted archaeological students
Of America.
On one of his recent trips to his
headquarters at Mazatlan he ran
down to Honduras to visit so-called
sacred cave. This cave contains sou
copper bells, ranging in size from q
button to a large dinner bell and
more picturesque in. design than the
bells made by any other known civili-
cation. Each has for q clapper a
ball OF pure copper, and no two have
the same tone. The cave also con-
tains several images which evidently
were objects Of worship. Some OF
these Mr.. Blakiston obtained.
The most interesting Of the bells
are in the form of fanciful faces OF
men and eccentric shapes of animals.
One follows the lines Of a turtle with
an elongated neck, bent backward for
the handle. One has an exaggerated
chin and nose like our own concep-
tons of witch. Some represent
strange creatures akin to the dragon
of romance, and these curl around
bslls that are shaped like a well.
Some have broad gnomelike faces In
which the opening of the bell repre-
SCENTS the mouth, with one large tooth
protruding on either side, and others
have grotesque bat heads, varied spect-
mems having horn-like ears upon the
forehead or high ringed eyes and
other idiosyncrasies. One is a fat
negroid face with wide open mouth,
out OF which protrudes another face
of different type with large nose and
hideous. staring eyes. These bells are
not only surprising in design, but are
wonderful in workmanship There
seems to be no DOUBT that many were
cast in molds while others were
beaten, or at least finished in that
manner. Some were built tier upon
tier out of fne wires, recurring
scrolls and other running designs be-
ing superimposed in delicate coils
of copper.
