Draped Lace TUNES.

Although. perhaps, the lace tunic
has a tendency to age its wearer. it
has compensating merits which rec
ommend it to women of middle age
and even younger women who have a
tendency to stoutness. For the close
fitting pointed tunic of black lace cut
with the upper part in the form of a
coat tends to make the figure look
slim in a manner that many, alas, find
eminently desirable as years come
fast upon them.
The favorite lace employed is Chan
tilly. and when one knows how to
drape artistically nothing can be more
elegant. On the contrary, nothing
can be dowdier than a drapery which
seeks to be- artistic and fails lament
ably in the attempt.

EXCELLENT FOR TENDER SKIN
Victim Of Sunburn Will Find Relief

A preparation that will suit most
tender skins or skin that has been

an ounce of powdered orris, two
ounces Of powdered CASTLE soap, one
half drachm oil of bergamot, four
drops OF bitter almond oil and quar-
ter of a drachm of extract of musk.
Only tepid water should be used on
the skin and after wetting it rub on
some OF the shove preparation in
stead of using soap, using the hands
to make the application because a

War ON HOG CHOLERA
Serum Developed by Department
of Agriculture Used.
Cleaning Up Of Infection Is Huge Job
But Believed Can Be Accomplished
Same az Eradication Of
Ticks in South.

peginning with a few counties In
yowa and Indiana, the department OF
agriculture is commencing a campaign
for the eradication OF hog cholera. AS
This disease is as widespread as the
hog raising industry, which covers the
whole country, the cleaning up OF the
injection is large order. 1t Is be-
ueyed however, that 1t can be done in
much the same way that the cattle tick
is being eradicated from the south.
BEFORE the tick eradication work
started it was feared that it~was an
impossible task. The experts of the
department, however figured out meth

and other means OF control SO that
now a quarter of the area in the south
that formerly was under strict cattle
quarantine has been declared tick free
and released. Counties adjoining the
cleared territory have seen the bene-
nj and are taking up the work so that
eventually the impossible will be ac-
complished and the whole of the south
will be turned into cattle-raising
country.
1t is thought that the same thing can

MONEY IN OUNCE GROWING

Two acres of ounces ought to make

is an unlimited demand for them. II

TO DRY FRUIT IN SUN
BEST PLAN WHEN EVAPORATION
CAN NOT BE EMPLOYED.
Reversible Wire Bottom Trays vii
Assure Satisfaction, and May
Easily Be Made by the Men
Of the House.

The evaporator is best for number
OF reasons, but where one must dry by
the sun there is yet a much better
way than spreading out on the house
roof or a scaffold of boards.
Loss and labor may be saved by
having wire bottom trays two feet
wide and two or three feet long. These
trays should be made reversible, which
may be done by having the sides oil
two pieces OF inch and quarter lum-
Der nailed together with the wire bot
tom between them. This secures the
bottom and makes a tray an inch and
a quarter deep either way it is turned.
Four of these trays will hold as
much as an ordinary family wouio
want TO put out at one time, and more
can be had as needed.
The wire cloth for the bottom should
be galvanized and what is known
as No. 2 or No. mesh; that is, there
are two or three wires to the inch
which is close enough to hold fruit
The scaffold is made by setting four
posts high enough to be out of danger
from the poultry. Strips of by a are

on.
The end posts should be set two feet
or a little more apart, which VIII De
the proper width of the scaffold, put
ting the other pair of posts as far from
these as length of the scaffold is want
ed to be.
When the trays are placed on these
supports the air passes up through the
fruit, drying it much quicker and more
uniformly.
The greatest convenience In having
the trays is when a shower threatens
or to protect the half dried fruit from
the night dew.
The trays may be quickly taken t.
shelter without disturbing the fruit.
If there should be several days
rainy weather the trays should b
stacked one on top of the other in tn
house; the air passing between tn
trays keep the fruit from souring II

Better Than Natural Gas,
st. Louis Globe Democr,

XII
The public utilities commissions Of
Missouri and Kansas have been hold
ing joint hearing on threatened gas
shortage this winter and find that a
serious emergency is ahead according
to the figures submitted. In Kansas
City during this month Of mild weather
the daily consumption is about 10000
600 cubic feet. The maximum supply
Is 100000. But on cold day the
demand goes up to 100000 cubic
feet. The menace Of confusion and
suffering is clearly defined, not alone
in one city, but in all the communities
of the two states where natural gas
IS the fuel. Kansas City's mayor is
advised by the commissions to take
steps to economic the use Of gas for
lighting and cooking. and a like con-
servation is recognized as necessary
generally to avert a crisis in severe
weather.
st. Louis, II is now admitted, has a
better resource than natural gas for
its manufacturing and domestic needs.
