That question has puzzled poultry
fanciers for unnumbered decades, but
now, it seems, it has been satisfactor-
rily solved by woman. She is Mrs.
Sarah Erickson of Falconer, n. z.
Having kept chickens for 81 years,

that hen lays an egg at the same
hour, minute and second that she was
born, or, rather, Matched. For In
tsnace. if the hen happened to be able
to peck its way through its shell at

cisely 7:43 a. m. And she will do this

One New York shop which devotes
itself entirely to indoor gowns re-
fuses to entertain the elaborate house
styles, showing little costumes of a
sort any woman might wear OF copy
for use in a modest home. Silk and
wool fabrics in all of the new whites
are made up in one-piece style, the
bodice treated to rolling polo collars
and cuffs in color or black, and the
belt Of the same. The sides of the
skirts show the panier influence, some
of the side breadths being gathered
20 bulge out, or the garment display
ing definite tunic, parted at the
middle front and drawn back in two
skfmp puffs, ending in little fiattish
punching at the back. Other skirts
display the separate tunic with the
looping very low at the sides, these
falling sometimes over plain skimp
skirts Of the same silk that trims
the collars and cuffs These demure
and yet coquettish frocks suggested
the needs of the business woman who
wishes to make nice appearance 81
the boarding house dinner and be
dressed for evening collars.
In the shops-where busy women
Of medium means must always buy
both practical and fine clothes the
simple frock for afternoon and even
ing wear seems very closely related
in style and material to the skimp and
dainty things one has seen all sum-
mer. With sleeves set in or cut with
the bodice kimono fashion, high waist
line, plain scant skirt and low col
lars and roll-back cuffs or fiat sleeve
bands, these dresses sell in autumn
| chaliies, silk trimmed, from So up,
and in silk with appropriate deckings
from $40 up. Here and there one is
capable of the most clever changes,
the addition of a chiffon peplum Jump
er or fancy sash arrangement turn
ing the plain thing at once into some
thing of the utmost elegance.
In unmade materials suitable for
simple and smart house frocks there
are many bargains, from the very
fact that so many summer textures
can be used. Silk is always useful
for the dressy house frock, as it is
| correct for both day and evening,
whereas the most charming challie
seems only correct for day wear.

RIGHT HOME
Doctor Recommends Postum from Per-
sonal Test.

No one is better able to realize the
Injurious action of caffeine-the drug
in coffee-on the heart, than the doc
tor. Tea is just as harmful as coffee
because 1t, too, contains the drug caf-
feline.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved ny simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by ii. He says:
"T wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. | have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for over 10
years. and part of the time was IN
able to attend to my business.
81 was a moderate user OF cofee and
did not think drinking 1t hurt me- But
on stopping it and using Postum IN
stead, my heart has got al right. and
I ascribe 1t to the change from Gomez
to Postum.
Il am prescribing II now in cases or
sickness, especially when coffee does
not agree, or affects the heart, nerves
or stomach.
when made right it has much bet
ter flavor than coffee, and is vital
sustainer OF the system. / shall con-
tinue to recommend 1t to our people,
and I have my own case to refer tc. ="

Color Scheme.

A very good color scheme for a
living room is in all the varying
shades of brown, with now and then
a touch of orange to brighten it,
says Needlecraft. The floor should
be given the darkest shade of brown
the walls a medium tone and the cell
ing cream shade. The furniture OF
this room could be of the best va
riety OF mission, the rugs oriental
with plenty of orange or red in them.
and the curtains should have a de
cided golden tint, as the light shin
ing through them is very beautiful
against brown. A touch OF yellow
might be given in couch pillow and
lamp shade.

New School Sanitation Plan.

A new IDEA in school sanitation has
been tested by the medical director Of
Dartmouth college. About five years
ago he began making bacreriologic ex-
aminations OF the air of the college
halls and recitation rooms, and soon
found a great periodic variation in the
number OF bacteria colonies that de-
veloped on the culture media exposed
in the usual shallow open dishes. He
then adopted the plan Of disinfecting
with formaldehyde any room showing
more thssn thirty-fiYe colonies of clus-

Touch of Embroidery.

If you wish to make your tuniu
very effective add a bit of embroid-
cry in the tapestry stitches. This
embroidery may take the form of a
conventional border or it may be of
floral nature, but it will most sue
cessfully add the new touch to an old
frock. Wonderful blendings of color
are worked out in these embroid-
cries. with the cruder, holder east
ern effects as the most popular.

looked at, as well as a shade too
eccentric with their varied loopings
or distinct paniers to seem suitable
for any but the idle rich. But out of
the hurly-burly of suggested bustles
some of the rear loopngs of the
skirts are more than a mere hint of
the old turnure-the pointed trains,
exaggerated tight sleeves and inor-
dinately high and tight collars, there
are features which all the world may
copy to advantage. For example, the
majority of the dainty gowns are of
