dresses, yet they are just as season
able as our present attire.
AS to extravaganza, we certainly
do not have to be extravagant to
make dresses. Five years ago we
bought ten yards to dress, where
as now yards is ample to make a
medium dress. That is cutting con-
siderably and some of the men are
not in the best of huEa0r when they
buy the pitiful ave yards. In the
days OF ten yard dresses there were
no locker clubs for our husbands to
go to, Hor was there a set of hired
men to shield men from public gaze
while they were being carried to the
callaboose for being drunk. Our
husbands sat around the ire-eide,
happy and contented and listened to
the merry laugh Of sunny haired
darling. Now, some of us have no
dsrlings nor husbands, they are
wandering around discontinued and
unhappy, and some bent on suicide,
white the wife sits at home, if she
is lucky enough to have one, lonely.
Away with the disgraceful fash
ions! Away with the locker clubs
and let the drawing rooms of every
American home ring with the merry
laughter of healthy children and
happy fathers and mothers. Let re-
ligion and prosperity lock hands and
march through this broad land, and
there will be no predictions that the
end of time is near on account Of
wickedness and vice.

TO boil cracked eggs, add a tea

In cleaning white enamel wood

To prevent starch from freezing
out of clothes when hung out to dry
in cold weather, put a handful of
salt in the starch when cooking.
Candle light is one of the pref
test decorations we have, but it
often causes such mess that one
hesitates to use it. You may avoid
all this if you freeze the candles
before using; they will never run
and will burn twice as long.
To make the old lids of fruit jars
look like new, boil them in weak
vinegar twenty minutes and then
scrub them with soap-suds and a
brush.
When running curtains on rod
slip the finger Of an old glove on the

If you are in hurry to use a

water immed lately, and there will
be absolutely no scorched taste.
This is worth trying.

Dear Mrs. Lee: L. A. L. has CIV
en- us worthy article on woman's
dress and extravaganza, which we
think has been we'll said The pres
ent styles are most uncomfortable
The skirts are SO tight they retard
your walk, and the hats are so
heavy you can't wear them without
contracting a terrible headache. The
heels of the shoes are so high you
suffer untold agony from the poor
circulation of blood in your feet,
and the fad of wearing slippers both
winter and summer keeps one with
a cold most of the time. If a wO-
man wishes to be a mother she could
not be one and wear such corsets as
are made for her to wear, and as
time rolls on the styles get worse.
If you don't wear all of this agoniz-
ing style of dressing you are made
game of and called tacky. Now it
does seem to any sane man or wo-
man that such nonsense should
cease. The costumes we are COM
PEELED to wear to follow Dame Fash
ion are disgrace to womanhood.
do not know how others feel
about it, but some I have talked
with agree that modesty has reIe-
gated to Maud Muller who raked
hay and blushed meath her torn hat.
The skirts of today are SO short that
most any decent woman is ashamed
to look a man in the face. Now I
hope | voice the sentiments of all
the true ladies. / say that the
American women should wear a de-
cent style of apparel. Our sex is
berated on account of the styles and
even by low class of men, and it
does seem that if we appeal to rea-

own and not ape Paris from cellar
to garnet. Cotton baskets are not

agree with him, for / enjoy the Wo-
mans page SO much, as always find
something interesting, especially to
mothers and housekeepers. / think
your patterns so pretty, / have
ordered from you, received prompt
ly and we'll pleased, think will or
der more, as l have five girls and
most any size or style is acceptable.
Every week find articles that help
us in everyday life. What a respon-
Sibility there is on mothers, | think
the spiritual training of a child de-
ponds On the mother, as very few
fathers look to that. Around our
fire-side are seven children, so my
hands and heart are full I thought
the article SO instructive entitled
Girls Questions. The duty of
mother to daughter is very great,
and il neglected we will see what it
leads to. There is nothing sweeter
than modest, refined, nicely raised
young lady, and do let her be free
from slang. [ am afraid my letter
is too long, I felt that some one
would enjoy mine, as I enjoy others.

GOOD LIVING FROM
A SMALL farm
Minot Man Tells How He Has Made
Money From Small Patch Than
Many Made from Quarter Section.

Ole Sandel, who owns a trife less
than two and half acres Of land Just
west of the city along the picturesque
Mouse river, finds that that is about
all the land that he cares to handle
for gardening purposes. Ole has
made more money out of this patch
during the past two years than many
a farmer made from half section.
He has the land irrigated and pumps
the water from the Mouse onto the
land with three horse power gaso-
line engine. He says it cost about
$3.50 to install the irrigating plant
and would not do without it. He does
not let any Of his garden 60 to waste
and takes care of truck getting the
products onto the market early in the
spring. Too many North Dakotans
are trying to farm too much land.

son charged Mattingly with consip-
acy, was called in Judge Murray 8

appeared and asked that the case oe
dismissed. He stated to the court
and to Alfred Zuger, the assistant at

the case, that he had been unable to
get all his witnesses together. Mr.
Zuger stated that in that event ne
would ask for a continuance and have
s,rbpoenas issued for the witnesses
Eldvedson demonstrated, however
and insisted upon dismissal of the
action and with the consent OF the
state this was done.

Prominent Minot Lawyer Will Make
Race for States Attorney-Fee's
Confident that He Will Win.

r. A. Nestos has decided to be-
come a candidate for States Attor-
ney and his petitions will soon be
out. Speaking of his candidacy to
an Independent representative he
said: IT feel quite confident that I am
going to win. rather expect to
have opposition, but intend to make
a hard campaign II necessary. Nat
urally stand for law enforcement,
within reason. If I am elected, it
will be necessary for me to take my
oath of office, and could not very
we'll disregard my duties.
Mr.. Nestos was elected to the leg
islature two years ago and his friends
rather expected that he would again
be a candidate for representative or
the Senate Should he have decided
to again to return to the legislature,
it is generally conceded that he could
be elected Speaker Of the House.
