WORK WONDERS WITH TUNlC
Garment Really Indispensable to the
Woman Who Perforce Must
Practice Economy.

The woman OF small means, whose
social position obliges her to dress
we'll on small income per annum, de-
vises many schemes whereby she may
give her limited wardrobe the APP
pearance OF great variety. Within tho
past few seasons her greatest aid In
putting up bluff" has been the ubi-
quitous tunic. This style admits of
SO many delightful variations that the
clever dresser does not fail to make
the best of the advantages it offers
For instance, II one is possessed of
well fitting white satin frock, one
may vary the tunic worn over 1t, and
variety of effects may be obtained.
1t Is certainly worth trying by the
woman who has limited number OF
frocks and many occasions on which
she must wear them. Some little al
teration or differences in the arrange
ment of shades worn with a frock
gives an air Of novelty and interest.
Some women are content to fish out
the same frock and wear 1t continu-
ally with even the self-same spray of
flowers pinned on. It does not seem
to occur to them what an almost end
less variety can be obtained by little
changes here and there, with perhaps
different ornaments and waysof dress
ing the hair No woman should scorn
such details, and In her desire to look
! her best she may easily get into the
habit of critically examining herself
and her clothes.
To go back to the subject of tunics
and the wonderful ingenuity which Is
exercised in them, that they have a.
great effect in altering the shape and
appearance Of the figure Is fact most
Of us have realized. A tall, slim figure
can, of course, stand practically any
arrangement of this overdress, but
the short woman in this, as In many
other details of her toilet, has to be
most careful that no hard line, which
may detract in any way from her
weight. or any undue fullness, should
be worn. All lines should sweep down
ward or slope sideways, always keep
ing in view the wish to add length and
take away any suspicion of width in
the figure.

Running the Incubator.


In order to make a success Of arti-
fetal incubation, four things are neces-
sary-hatchable eggs, a proper tenn
perature, supply of oxygen sufficient
for the needs of the developing en-
bryos, and finally the eggs must be
turned SO that the enlbryos do not
stick fast to the shell membranes.
Selecting the Eggs.
Success or failure may depend upon
the quality of the eggs used There
is no incubator made that will hatch
poor eggs into strong chicks, and
many of the failures in artificial incu-
baton are due to the poor quality of
the eggs employed We have paid too
little attention in the past to the vigor
of the breeding stock. Vigor is every
thing. Without vigor there can be no
success either in the production Of
fancy or utility fowls. Select for
breeders the lusty, active birds-the
cocks that crow and the hens that
sing.
1t is preferable to have the eggs not
more than "a week old for the older
the eggs the less vigorous the germs.
But freshness is not the only quality
desirable. If the eggs are laid by hens
that are too fat, or are improperly fed,
or are covered with lice. or are run
down and debilitated, or are out of
condition in any way, they are not

RENEWING GAS TALK

TOPIC AT WHEELING.
Letter From Board OF Control says
Propositions Cannot. be Con-
sidcred in Present Form.

Wheeling. Natural gas as an II
luminant again occupied the center
of the stage at the special session of
council but the meeting was in
marked contrast with previous ones,
At meetings several hundred
thousand cubic feet Of gas was
wasted in an unsuccessful effort to
pass an ordinance giving the gas COM
pany. the right to sell natural gas as
an illuminant. At the last meeting
the matter came up in the form of
message from the board of control
submitting it's correspondence carried
on with the gas company relative to
securing proposition of satisfac-
tory nature that would permit citi-
zens to use the gas for this purpose
without loss to the city. The letter
from the board of control was to
the effect that the proposition of the
company submitted could not be con-
sidered inasmuch as it carried with
it the abrogation of the decision of
Judge Hervey in the suit of the city
against the company That this de-
cision held the gas works to be a
valuable property of the citizens and
must be protected and that they
would be willing to consider the prop
osition II the company would elimi-
nate the court feature This letter
was in reply to one received from the
company expressing its willingness
to take the matter UP, and it stated
that in view of the board being I'm
able to act definitely on the matter,
that the members wisely refer it to
council.

suitable either for natural or artificial

be laid by mature fowls in the pink OF

be of good average size, neither too

the thermometer should stand de-
ponds upon where 1t is placed
in the incubating chamber, and
whether it records the air temperature

The direction sent with the incubator

care should be taken to maintain prac-

out the whole three weeks OF incuba-

thus preventing them from sticking to
the shell membranes. The eggs should
be turned regularly twice each day.
Moisture and Ventilation.
In a fertile egg there is life which
requires oxygen for it's continued ex-
istence. Oxygen is absorbed, and car
bon dioxide is thrown off practically
in the same way as in the case Of
adult animals. The circulation OF air
through the incubating chamber
should be rapid enough to supply sufti-
Client oxygen, and also to remove the
gases which are produced as result
of the vital activity. On the other
hand, the circulation OF air should not
be too rapid, as In that case too much
moisture might be carried away from
the eggs, thus injuring the hatch. Egg
shells are porous, and they allow the
watery contents to evaporate slowly.
If the eggs do not lose enough mois-
ture, the hatch is apt to be poor. and
the chicks weak-many Of them dying
from non-absorption of the contents OF
the yolk sack, while If the loss OF mois-
ture is too excessive the hatch will be
injured. For best results the eggs
should neither lose too much nor too
little moisture. In practice there Is
