Yellow Writing Paper Easy on

vStlOw "TItIU9 VAPOV 3aoy VII .JSS'
Oculists have often called attention
to the fact that the eyes are easily ia
tigued by the reflection from white pa
per, especially when the surface is I'M
der a strong light. Since green is
known to be the color most restful to
the eyes, it is common practice to
use wall papers and draperies Of that
color in libraries and private studies.
For writing paper. however. green is
an unsatisfactory color. 1t imparts a
reddish appearance to the writing and
makes it hard to read. Yellow writing
paper is not open to the same ob1ec-
ton. In strong daylight 1t IS softer
than pure white paper. and in artificial
light is not too dark. Black letters on
a yellowish background show clear
and distinct. Many mathematfcians
use yellow paper In figuring long and
difficult calculations, and many writer's
have adopted it for manuscripts

Concerning the care Of the hardwood
floor-..and them as has 'em must tend

says:
Wax affords the best protection fer
the floor. as the nails in the shoe. un-
less unusually sharp. will slide u DIT
on the wax without brea king its sllE
face or iniuring the shellac under
Meath. Use good hard floor wax. The
various wakes upon the market are
batter than any which you could mix
They are neither pure heeswax nor
pnre paraffin. for these would never
harden, hut would catch dust and be-
come grainy.
Apply a very thin coat Of this pre-
pared wax to the floor The tendency
is to use far too much wax. Only q
thin film should be left upon the floor.
and this should be permitted to set for
twenty or thirty minutes before using
the weighted brush. This is rubbed
first across the grain. and then piece
of soft brussels carpeting under the
brush will increase the luster
In the regular care of wax finished
floor a dry deck mop should be nsed
for removing the loose dust This will
: be enough if careful oversight is Kent
to see that any dulled places receive
a little wax and rubbing with the
eraser if small. with the brush if lar
ger. whenever they need it, whether
that is once a week or once month
The whole floor ought not to need wax
ing oftener than once year it th'
wax is used clear and twice year u
it is used over shellac.

R. W Harmed.

The Cotton worm has made its ap,
pearance in several counties in Miss
issippi. Specimens have been re-
ceived from Noxubee, Oktibbeha
Lowndes, and Monroe counties. 1t is
probabible that the worms are in many
other counties,
The cotton worms made their first
appearance this year in particaIIy the
same places as last year. They are
about ten days later but this is otsel
by the fact that the cotton crop is at
least two weeks behind the crop OF
1911. The worms have appeared in
Alabama and have already done con-
siderable damage in Texas. In all
probably the worms will increase
rapidly and the next generation
which will appear early in August
may be large enough to do consider,

county in the state will be infested be.

That is for each acre Of cotton you
should have one pound of Paris green

that you have plenty Of flour or

dehnate arrangements to get a fresh
supply Of poison. Order new sup.
ply as soon as you find that it is nee
essary to use the poison that is on
hand. Keep on the constant lookout
for the worms. Do not poison until
the worms appear and then no time
should be lost in applyingit. If rains
