senator j JameS ii. Brady is un-
dertaking to bring about the ad-
Justment of all Idaho land mat
ters now pending before the In
terror Department, including the
completion of public land surveys
the final settlement of state Sc
lections and exchanges of state
lands. the disposition of individ-
ual entries that long have been
held up for one cause or another;
iii fact every thing that has come
over from the past administra
ton. and can be adjusted on the
basis of the records.
Almost daily, Senator Brady
has a conference with officials of
the Interior Department. and al
ready he has many cases up for
final decision. He started III
with a request, made of Secre-
tarv Lane, that the Departement
hasten the survey of unsurveved
land in Idaho, which are now
withheld from entry because ot
the lack of government SURVEYS,
he has been encouraged to believe
that this work will proceed as
rapidly as funds allow, but he ne
alizes that progress will be slow
unlesscontinuing appropriations
can be secured for this work in
Idaho, and in the next appro-
priation bill, he will ask tor such
an appropriation tor use ex-
clusively in Idaho.
That there is justice in his de-
mand tor Fastening SURVEYS in
Idaho is shown by the tact that
there are today over 100000
acres of unserveyed lands in the
state, a larger area than is found
in most of the other western
states, because Idaho has been

Idaho. like every other western
state, has many hundreds of

In speaking OF the matter to-
day Senator Brady said;

OF DEH0RNlNG cows
Fine-Tooth Saw Is Better for Older
Animals Than CIIppers-There
Is Little Danger

Some cows are naturally very
bossy, a temperament that is not i'm.
proved by age. The only remedy is
to remove the horns. For some un-
accountable reason pure.bred dairy
cows all have horns as part of their
natural equipment. Ayrshires have
especially dangerous horns, as fashion
demands that Ayreshires have horns
that project forward and upward.
Red Polls and Polled Durhams are the
only exceptions. and these are really
beef breeds. There is very little dan
ger to the COW in having her horns
sawed off, and not much discomfort.
judging from her actions. Usually
there is no loss of blood or appetite.
and the milk flow remains normal or
nearly so. A sharp. f1ne-tcoth saw is
better than clippers for the older ami.
mails. Clippers sometimes smash tho
skeleton bones inside the horn and
prevent healing properly. For young
cattle the better kinds OF knife instru
ments work very well.

ANGEL SLEEVE HAS RETURNED
Somewhat Different From Those o!
Another Day, but Practically
Along the Same Lines.

Angel sleeves have returned. They
are not exactly like the ones OF other
days. They show grace in the flowing
lines and cleverness in adjustment,
and they also show something new.
The regular set-in sleeve has been
supplanted by the loose overdrapery.
In some cases It is straight piece OF
wide lace, caught at the shoulders
under clasps, hooked in place after
being wound in scarflike lines over
the arms and shoulders; in others 1t
is a sleeve with extremely widening
lines, and there need be no seams or
gathers. Tassels weight down the
edges. and jeweied landings, rhine
stones being in first favor, edge the
gauzy drapery and hold the flowing
sleeves in place.
Tulle, maline, shadow laces and ex
qufsite metallic effects on gauzes and
nets are used for angel sleeves. says
the New York Press. These are cas-
lily incorporated with bodice drapery
and arranged over the shoulders ia
give the grace and use of sleeves
without undue material or trouble il
construction.
The short kimono sleeve can b.
successfully hidden by draping trans
parent net, gauze or chiffon over the
top catching the folds by slip stitches
here and there.
Pin all drapery first. Arrange the
change until the right line is obtained
Then sew and rejoice IN one of the
new features In evening gowns.

The mash can be secured ready mixed

MAKING a New Lawn.

A good lawn can be grown any
where in the northern states and upon
any kind of surface soil. One rea.
son so many new lawns fail is because
the soil which is taken out in ex-
cavating for the new house is spread
over the lot, covering up the old sur
face SOIL The deep or sub-soil is
worthless for growing anything, not
because it contains no plant food, but
because its plant food is held in such
chemical combinations that plants can
not digest it. Action of frost, air, SUM-
light and bacteria, must take place be-
fore the plant can live in 1t. If this
excavated soil must be used for grad
Ing purposes, cover 1t with three
inches of good loan or black earth il
you want grass to grow there.
Given ordinary surface soil to start
with, the first step is to plow or spade
it about six inches deep. At this time
turn under good cover of stable
manure and then work the soil to a
fine seed bed, just as for a garden.
Level the surface, fill in the hollows
and then broadcast a commercial fer
tilizer, using about one-fourth pound
to the square yard. A good fertilizer
Is composed Of one part muriate OF
potash, five parts steamed bone meal,
one part slaked lime. 1t will be we'll
to use the lime anyway, as it puts the
soil In fine shape, although it is with
out value as direct plant food. Now
roll the ground to make it firm and
form good passage up for the water
in the sub'soil. Just as soon as the
soil has been rolled it should be raked,
or narrowed with a fine tooth harrow,
the seed should be sown. broadcast,
and the soil should be raked or har-
rowed crossways, to cover the seed
lightly. Do this the same day you
roll the ground or it will dry out too
much.

excellent mixtures If lawn seed or
you can make an ideal seeu mixture
by using IS per cent. each of Ken
lucky blue grass and red top, with 10
per cent. white clover seed by weight.
Sow it by hand on still day, while
the surface Of the soil is damp. Sow
on the basis of handful of seed to
the square yard.
If the sowing has to be done late in
the spring or during very hot, dry
period, it will be we'll to give the soil
a light mulch Of straw or strawy
manure.
A cover crop such as oats or rye is
often used. but is not particularly ad-
vantageous except for shade and it
uses up great deal Of water and
plant food
Keep the new lawn we'll watered
during the growing season and cover
it with fine stable manure during the
first winter.

Bowels Get Weak
AS Age Advances
The First Necessity is to
Keep the Bowels Gently
ODen With a Mild
Laxative Tonic

L0F0I1De QUO
Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition OF the
bowels that great care should be taken
to see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive
and the liver does not store up the
juices that are necessary to prompt
digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
ing easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
irksome to most elderly people. One
thing is certain, that state Of con-
stipation should always be avoided as
it is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan is to take mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty it is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives, physics,
salts and pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are SO harsh
as to be a shock to a delicate system.
A much better plan. and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take a gentle laxat1vetonlc
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

possible. In fact, the tendency Of this
remedy is to strengthen the stomach
and bowel muscles and 20 train them
to act naturally again, when medicines
of all kinds can usually be dispensed
with. This is the opinion Of many
people Of different ages, among them
