Mental Untidiness
of Girls
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.

THERE are girls and girls and girls,
but the girl who will go out on
the street knowing that a button
IS off, her shoe united or frayed end
Of dress binding hanging from her skirt
10 in such minority that she is no long
or to be reckoned with
The dainty girl, the maid who looks
as if she had given every thread of her
garments a minute inspection before
leaving home the girl who looks as if
her home were the traditional bandboX
from which she had stepped out for
moments airing and would go into
again is in the great, big, blessed ma
1ority.
There may have been a time when
,,ntidiness in attire was condOned 1t
isn't condoned in this day and genera
ton.
girl must be neat appearing to
hold her position, social and business,
and she can not let the frayed ends fly
and keep her friends
What a pity, in this commendable
brushing, and renovating, and scrub
hing, and securing, and mending, that
sometimes so little heed is paid to I'M
tidiness of the mind!
A girl who wouldn't wear a dress
that is not immaculate will use words
that smack of vulgarity. She wouldn't
wear d garment with a rent in it, but
she will listen to a questionable joke,
and encourage it, by repetition, to stay
in her mind.
She wouldn't dress to attract atten-
ton. but she will tell a story calcu-
1
and give a shrill laugh to show that
she is having a good time.
Modest and neat in a material way,
she doesn't realize that the quantity
and quality of what she puts in her
mental storehouse, and the manner in
which she keeps it, are of greater &C
count.
She puts a bad word on this shelf,
and a wicked little story on that, and
the little cupboard in her brain in which
she stores questionable jokes is kept
full.
They are the buttons off, the I'M
slightly rents, the frayed and flying
ends the marks of faint and soil, on her
mental garments.
She would be ashamed to be seen
around home in garments that are not
half as untidy as her attire would be if
she were clothed with the storehouse of
her mind.
She doesn't mean to do wrong. She
has a heart as good as gold, and ac-
cumulates this questionable material in
her brain in a desire to be "a good fell
low" She wants to be amusing, and
swings too far. She has the distorted
notion that any story or joke that will
make other girls laugh is fit to be told.
She attains sort of counterfeit pop
ularity, and at, OH what a price! Her
stories and jokes grow a little more
questionable, and, encouraged by the
thoughtless laughs of her thoughtless
companions, she swings, and swings,
and swings, and passes over the line
separating that which is simply anus
ing from that which is a little doubtful
1t is pitiable, because, though she re-
mains at heart a very good girl, a sus-
piciOn arises that she isn't!
I want my girls to guard their ears
and their tongues. Every word and
Joke and story that is questionable is
as so many frayed ends and buttons
off.
They make an untidy mind. and men

pOrtant than clean garment.

natural red CLEAN to the hair" insisted
the beautiful young actress.
Red hair grows dark because it
lacks sunshine and ventilation People
with red hair should wear hats as little
as possible, especially when they notice
that the hair is beginning to darken.
It's pity that we can't go around
with our hair braided down our backs
in the house at all events, for hair needs
all the ventilation and airing it can get,
especially since we have begun to wear
those tight-fitting hats and keep them
on all day. This is what ruins the color
of the hair, and the only thing that will
bring back the color is sunshine and
air, and last, but not least, a careful
diet.
81 don't. know what doctors say on
| this subject" continued Miss Davies,
but | am perfectly. certain that the
| condition Of the hair is affected by the
condition of the stomach, and that
people lose their hair or see 1t grow
dark and ugly because they eat not
| wisely nor well.
Il go about as much as | can in the
open air without any hat at all OF
course, an open-air life makes one feel
healthy and vigorous, and whenever |
can enjoy country life, find that my
hair grows a brighter and prettier red.
and that | have no trouble in handling
it. You know" explained the 1915
beauty hair that won't stay put is
sickly hair; that means that the per-
son herself Is in bad physical condition
My advice to the red headed girl
who wants to keep her luck is to avoid
heavy millinery, and If she Is wearing

sist on having ventilation holes in it.
Men always have these little ventila-
tors, and they don't need them half as
much as we do. Then redhead washes
her hair at least once in two weeks

embarrasses me very much. Now

drinking after we are married? Do
you think those advertisements

are dangerous? And would they
do any good to stop man from

If he can't stop during the engage

What we usually refer to as gumbo
soil is a very heavy type of soil. In
some localities is is very dark in color,
while in other places it is slightly
grayish in color. In the state of Iowa
the gumbo soils are very dark and

There is much superstitious belief

the London county council be petit

people are writing to the London pa

who has been exploring history

and 1913, and find them to have been

can not be called a disaster. The

TTOPcT tTcdtWSUt IoT SuTipo ooU
cessfully both by using open bitches
and by using tile drain. In fact. some
of the gumbo soils that have been
tile drained often sell as high as $500
per acre The experience in handling
the heavy sticky soils indicates tia,
it is not necessary to place the tile, as
one would naturally think, close to-
gether and as shallow as first consid-
Grafton might indicate. The expert
ence of farmers in the heavy, waxy
soils of Iowa shows that the tile ines
are often placed ten to twelve rods
apart, which is ample distance even
in some other types Of soil. The best
way to settle this matter. inasmuch as
these soils vary considerably, is to put
in as many lines of tile as you can con-
yeniently and watch the effect, or use
only one tile line and note the dis
lance it drains on either side. This
would take but short time for the
effect can usually be noticed on close
observation.
1t is highly important that you have
good outlet in attempting to use tile.
After the land is well drained, the
next important step is that Of tillage.
1t has been found that for all kinds Of
conditions fall blowing is the best for
gumbo soils. The action of freezing
and thawing during the winter months
renders the seed bed much more friable
and reduces the clods in a way that
cannot be accomplished by mechanical
means. Care should be exercised not
to pillow or to cultivate this type Of
soil when it is unusually wet for it
puddles very quickly, forming clods
which can be reduced only by freezing
and thawing.
One Of the Objectionable features OF
gumbo soil is the tendency to shrink
when drying out, thus injuring the
crop materially. The time that this
occurs is usually during the summer
months. This objection may be over
come by surface tillage, using the
spring-tooth, peg-tooth or disk har-
rows, together with cultivators, or any
other means of maintaining a surface
mulch to depth of three or four
inches.
Gumbo soils. when well drained and
in a good state of cultivation, which
may be maintained as stated above,
give splendid yields; in fact, better
than some other kinds of soils in the
corn belt A frequent application Of
stable manure is also beneficial to
these soils, inasmuch as It supplies
vegetable matter, thus rendering the
soil lighter and putting 1t in better
physical condition.
Some claim that the cement tile are
more porous and thus permit freer
movement Of the water than the clay
tile, but in reality there is very little
difference. AS far as the pores of the
tile becoming filed is concerned, one
would probably fill up about as quickly
as the other A large percentage
of the water that enters the tile
goes through the joints and does not
soak directly through the tile. You
will find that well vitrified tile or
carefully made cement tile will serve
your purpose satisfactorily. In cases
where the trouble from alkali is ex-
ceptionally severe, ii may be best to
use the clay tile in preference to the
cement.
Yours very truly.
