A Legacy.

While In a battle ah accommodating
young man noticed a crippled soldier
who seemed TO be IN great misery. The
cripple said that he was wounded In
the leg, and the young man immediate
~ threw him across his shoulder and
started for the doctors in the rear OF
the army. While on his way II cannon
ball came along uunoticed by him and
took off the crippic's head. When he
reached his destination he was asked
why he was carrying a corpse. He
looked very much surprised when he
noticed the headless body and said
'Well III be hanged, He told me II
was his leg,"- National Monthly.

aHord. Appearances count with young
sters and many a nice girl Is needless
ly hampered by the poor taste OF her
mother.
Don't be toe sure you know what is
best for your daughter to wear. The
taste Of sixteen may not be 30 good as
your own. but 1t Is less apt to clash
with current schoolgirl fashions. While
one Ia still young individuality In
dressing is not popular.
Don't have rigid notions on under
wear and try to enforce them with
cast iron promises. Most schoolgirls
discard fannels as Don as they es-
cape maternal vigilance, and many a
girl Is made harder because Of it.
Don't be too insistent on service
able clothes. Girls suffer when made
to wear ~unbecoming gowns because of
their enduring qualities.
Don't forget that the surest way to
keep your daughter we'll protected in
rain storms is to buy her a stylish
rain coat. waterproof shoes and TIM
brella.
Don't spend SO much on your child's
outfit that you cripple yourself and
must stint her on spending money. A
reasonable allowance through the year
counts more for a schoolgirls good
time than an elaborate wardrobe.
Don't get too many things at the
start. Every school has Its own ideals
Of dressing and your girl will soon be
out Of conceit of her pretty clothes IL
they are not what all the rest of the
girls are wearing. Better buy less and
fill out when your girl knows what she
needs and wants.

Fish Bleuue.

A Ash bisuue is made from n cup
full of cold fish minced very fine, one
cup OF hot milk and a cupful OF any
white stock. The carcass of a chick
en- cooked slowly will yield an excel
lent stock for this purpose. The sea
soning consists OF a teaspoonful OF
Worcestershire sauce. salt. a dash of
ayenn and a tablespoonful OF chop
ped parsley.
Put fish, seasoning and stock to-
gether In a pan. Mix II tablespoon
full Of -four and the same quantity OF
butter together and stir into the

WITH OR WITHOUT UNDER SLEEVES AND
BAND ON SKIRT.

BAND ON SKIRT.
The accordion plated frock is a very
new and very attractive one. 1t is made
from all sorts of thin materials and
gives an exceedingly dainty and attractive
effect while it means almost no labor as
the plating is done by machine. This
one is charming. The skirt is a simple
straight one and the blouse is made all
in one piece with separate sleeves sewed
to the armholes but it is arranged over a
body lining and this lining holds all the
~fullness in place. When under sleeves
are wanted, the lining sleeves are extended
and gathered into bands. This frock is
made of crepe de chine with trimming of
heavy lace and the band on the skirt is
applied over the plaits, holding them
partially in place, but a perfectly plain
skirt would be quite correct if a simpler
dress is wanted. Any material thin
enough to be 30 plated is appropriate,
chiffon is charming made in this way,
net is being much worn by little girls and
white net over a colored foundation is
charming. Crepe de chine and messaline
are pretty and among simple materials,
albatross and challis must be mentioned
and they can be plated successfully. A
very pretty little dress Of quite q
different sort from this one could be
made of albatross with a plain skirt and
the trimming portions Of satin with
scalloped edges.
For the Ia year size, the dress will
require IN yards Of material az. s4
yards 60 or "a yards "a inches wide
with 3H yards of banding ~ inches

EAST BUCKEYE SCHOOL
HAS AN AGGIE CLUB.
Has Had Big Meetings Every Night
During the Winter.

The farmers who live in the East
Buckeye school district have solved
the problem of keeping the boys, on
the farm. The community inter-
est" which has been the subject of
so many agricultural sermons is a
very prominent feature of the home
life in this neighborhood now. When
Milton Haffa became the teacher in
this district last fall he proposed
the organization of an agricultural
club. The young people took up the
idea and organized what they called
"The good time Agricultural Club"
1t was launched with twenty mem
bers between the ages of IL and
80 and within a month practically
every eligible person in the district
had Joined. The last half of the
year found club Of A members.
The club ordered an agricultural
book under the advisement of the
state agricultural college and thirty |
minutes are spent each meeting night
in the study Of the practical needs
Of the community. After the agri-
cultural study came a literary pro-
gram in which not only the men,

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to
work necessarily with brain and
hand to hold their own nowadays.
Never were the demands Of business
the wants Of the family, the require
ments OF society, more numerous.
The first effect OF the praiseworthy
effort to keep up with all these
things is commonly seen in q weak
ened and debilitated condition of the
nervous system, which results In
dyspepsia, defective nutrition Of body
and brain, and in extreme cases In
nervous pfostration. II is
clearly seen that what is needed Is
what will sustain the system, Civ
vtgor and tone to the nerves, and
keep the digestive and assimilative
functions healthy and active. From
knowledge, We can recon-
mend Hoods sarsaparilla for this
purpose. It acts on all the vital
organs, builds mp the whole system,
md fits men and women for these
Ugh pressure days.
