NO WORDS WASTED
A Swift Transformation Briefly De-
scribed.

About food. the following brief but
emphatic letter from a Georgia wom-
an goes straight to the point and is
convincing.
my frequent attacks Of Indigestion
and palpitation of the heart cul-
minated in a sudden and desperate ILL
ness, from which arose enfeebled in
mind and body. The doctor advised
me to live on cereals, but none of
them agreed with me until 1 tried
Grape-Nuts food and Postum.
"The more I used Of them the more
felt convinced that they were just
what I needed, and in short time
they made a different woman of me-
My stomach and heart troubles disap-
peared as If by magic, and my mind
was restored and is as clear as it ever
was.
II gained flesh and strength so rap
idly that my friends were astonished.
Postum and Grape-Nuts have benefited
me so greatly that I am glad to bear
this testimony" Name given by

lace-Edged Doilies.

In making a set Of round doilies for
Christmas gifts one woman made the
discovery that by stitching narrow
hens In the edges with rather long
machine stitch she could very easily
crochet linen thread lace on the edges.
catching a loop of the linen thread in
each machine stitch.
A simple wreath Of scattered daisies
and leaves was embroidered on each
linen circle, then a two-inch edge of
lace, resembling torchon, was cro-
cheted about the edge of each. The ef-
feet is wonderfully good. The work Is
easily done, making a charming set
for gifts.

the two 6.foot pieces so that the
knives can be raised or lowered at
will. One one and one-fourth-inch
steel axle. 6 inches in length. Is bolted
to the inside Of each OF the 4-foot
pieces SO that when wheels are put on
and the man Is riding the machine

Transporting the implement to the

spring on the 4-foot piece. to which
the lever Is attached.
Two horses can pull the implement
readily. The doubletree ID fastened

green (the prevailing tone in the
braid) and piping at the brim-edge
Of the same velvet. This is q simple
model with much style. There is q
graceful variation in the width OF the
brim and clever tilt, these with the
slight droop convert the shape into
background for the face. The crown
is low and rather small. It is a shape
which can be worn by almost any
one.
Clusters Of small compact roses with
green and bronze foliage and small

trims which look well with this shape.

REQUIRED FOR CROPS
Efficiency Of Conservation and Actual
Moisture Requirements Of Plants
Vary Very Much.

(By D. W. FREAR. Colorado Agricultur-
al College.)
Various Investigators have found
that it requires from about 400 to 1000
pounds of water to produce pound
of dry matter of farm crop. The
water requirement increases with q
higher temperature, great amount OF
sunshine and dryer atmosphere. In
the arid regions a moderately high
temperature, a cloudless sky and dry
atmosphere prevail. Consequently the
water requirements Of plants naturally
tend to be higher for the same kinds
of crops. It Is concluded that about
75O pounds of water are required in
the arid regions for the production Of
one pound of dry matter of common
farm crops.
The straw forms about one-half Of
the total weight Of harvested grain.
On this basis the total weight Of straw
and grain for every bushel Of wheat
Is 12O pounds. About 80 per cent. of
this or 108 pounds is dry matter.
Therefore, it will require $50 times 108
or $1,000 pounds of water to mature
one bushel Of wheat. This is equal to
4Oh tons Of water.
One inch of rainfall per acre weighs
approximately 113 tons. 1t Is esd-
mated that under good tillage methods,
about two-ffths Of the total rainfall
is available to the crop, therefore,
about 45.2 tons of every acre inch of
rainfall are used by the plants, and
one inch Of rainfall can produce about

ditions, ten inches Of rainfall would
produce 11A bushels, Is inches II
bushels. Where two years precipita-
ton is stored in the soil it will be
possible to produce about 27 bushels
Of wheat per acre on 12-inch rain.
