LINGERIE ALMOST TOO DAINTY
Hand Work IL Now the De-
mand Of Fashion.

No notable changes have been made
recently in underclothing. II possible,
It is more than ever irreproachable in
cut and of a daintiness that entices
one into spending every cent of ones
pin money. just as though no provision
need be made for anything to wear
over the fascinating frillies. Probably
you have heard that SO much lace was
never used before, that chemises and
combination sets are veritable cob
webs Of lace and lawn and even Who'll
~ composed Of more diaphanous and
dlmy fabric.
It is difficult to avoid thinking Of
our grandmammas and how, in their
view Of 1t, pretty Undertaking was
scarcely respectable. Certainly we
have changed all that and know no
longer the regime Of unbleached calico
and handmade crochet-and yet
lingering prejudice survives against
the overdFessy, overtransparent gar
ment of lingerie, whether it be worn
by night or by day.

HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
BIG Point In Favor Of Construction Is
Economy Of Time and Force In
Reaching Market.

No one questions the statement
that good roads have high money
value to the farmers of the nation, and
1t may be said that this alone is suffi-
cient to justify the cost Of their con-
struction as rapidly as practicable un-
der an efficient, economical and eluit-
able system Of highway improvene
The big point in favor Of this eSpen-
diture is the economy Of time and
force in transportation between farm
and market, enabling the growers to
take advantage of fluctuations in buy
ing and selling, as we'll as enhancing
the value of real estate. It Is esti-
mated that the average annual loss
from poor roads is rs cents an acre.
while the estimated average increase
resulting from improving all the pub
lie roads is 50. The losses in five
years would aggregate $2,432 for ev-
cry section Of land, or more than
enough to improve two miles Of pub
lie highway. The necessity of good
roads is obvious, as it would enhance
the value of each section of land
about $500, or more than double the
estimated cost of two miles Of i'm
proved highway, which constitutes the
quota for $40 acres Of land.

USEFUL AS GRASS CATCHER
Makes Use Of Rake Unnecessary
How It IL Made.

A rake will be unnecessary to the
man who mows grass with the device
shown here attached to the back OF
the mower. This is the invention OF
Minnesota genius, and it is said to
leave q clean sward in the wake of
the lawn mower, catching the loose
grass that flies up in the rear before
it has a chance to fall again. The ap-
paratus is made with a galvanized
steel bottom and heavy duck sides
and is easily detached and emptied
when 1t becomes full. Two hooks are
fastened at the ends Of the roller OF
the mower and circular wire pieces fit

WHITE PlMPLEs ON HEAD

Ransom, Ill.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old Started like lfttlo
white pimples, looked like an old scab
of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for few months. them It
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. It seemed to como cut
thick and sticky on his head. while
on the other parts Of his body It was
more like water coming out Of TIN
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores 70
bleed, spread and itch. Never had .
full nights sleep, restless all night |.
"The sores were horrid to look 1t.
It lasted until he was about two and =
half years old. Then we saw an Go

we used Cuticura Soap and CuticuIs

ment on thick at bed time and put .
tight hood on SO he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed it clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm watas

POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
Only Per Cent Of 100000 Miles 81
Public Thoroughfares In THE
Country Are improved.

There are 100000 miles Of public
roads in this country. Only 10000
miles, or Z per cent, are improved.
All the rest can be fairly described as
bad roads. The waste of our natural
resources. reckless as it is, is moth
ing compared to the money waste
brought about by this condition Of our
highways.
1t costs the French peasant an av-
erage of IL cents mile per ton to
haul his produce to market. It costs
the American farmer an average Of
Is cents a mile per ton. or 100 per
cent more than the Frenchman. Dur
ing the year 19o5-19O6 hauling Of farm
produce to shipping points amounted
to between forty and forty-five million
tons weight. The average haul was
"a miles. II the farmers could have
done their hauling over French roads,
instead Of their own inferior ones,
they would have Melted $58,900,0 900
more on their crops.
But all the hauling to shipping
points is not done by farmers by any
means. The interstate commerce
commission tells us that in all some
thing like 250,000,000 tons are hauled
for shipment every year. The willing
ness to move this immense volume Of
freight over poor roads, as against
good roads such as France enjoys,
costs the country q cool unnecessary
$305, 900, 900 a year.
These figures and facts come from
the office Of Logan Waller Page. the

Quantity Of Lime Needed.

The quantity of lime needed under
different conditions varies from few
hundred pounds to several tons; but
an average of about one ton of good
lime to the acre will usually be suffi-
cient. If grades of lime are used
which contain so per cent or less Of
calcium oxide larger quantities will
be required.
