ITO begin with, beautiful lips are
mobile and flexible. No matter how
perfect their contour, lips that are fix.
ed and tight are never attractive.
Then, too, holding the lips in a fixed
position quickly ages the face and in.
duces lines In 1t even less attractive
than the line Of the mouth. Persons
who make constant use of their lips
in laughter. conversation. or singing

mobility in them that is not apt to be

This, alone, indicates the necessity for

wise exercise Of the lips to preserve
youthful face and keep the mouth
flexible and attractive"
Marie Montaigne makes this point
In an article in Harper's Bazaar. She
goes on to say:
odd as 1t may seem. 1t becomes
quite impossible to cherish Irritating
thoughts when the corners of the lips
are turned up. Insensibly little sprites
OF happy memories come dancing into
the mind and the lines about the
mouth smooth out or take on sweet
curves. Laughter Is essential to a
pretty mouth. Not the constant laugh.

Bowels Get Weak
AS Age Advances
The First Necessity is to
Keep the Bowels Gently

Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age Is 80 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.
stipatkon should always be avoided as
It is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan Is to take a mild laxative
as often as Is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty II Is suggested
that cathartics. purgatives. physics,

possible. In fact. the tendency Of this
remedy Is to strengthen the stomach

SUCCESS on DRY LAND FARM
Most Important Of Many Things 10
Supplementary Irrlgatlon-Proper
Location for Well.

(By W. H. LAUCK. Irrigation 1nvcsti-
cations. United States Department Of
AgricultureJ
There are many things that make
lor success on dry land farm and
home. The most important Of these
Is supplementary irrigation. This
does not conflict in any way with the
ory land work. but rather assists by
utilizing one Of the resources which
nature has provided. However, the
extent to which the practice may be
applied is limited to the water supply
available.
One of the first and most important
things for the dry land farmer to as.
certain Is whether water supply can
be developed from the underground
water. or stored during the torrential
rain storms.
Where a water supply can not be
developed. the homesteader soon be.
comes discouraged and he abandons
his claim.
Ihe proper location for the we'll
can orten be decided upon by study
ing the well In the Immediate neigh
borhood. Where the distance is too
great for this method test holes may
DO put down with a two or three inch
auger and light derrick, made Of two
by four inch timbers.
The points desirable to know are:
~ Depth to water level; (2) material
encountered In sinking test we'll: (3)
amount the water lowers in the well
during pumping. and (4) kind Of well
most desirable. whether drilled, bored
or dug
with this information, some idea of
the amount Of water which can be
expected In the locality can oe formed
thus deciding to what extent irrigation
can be practiced.
After water has been located, the
method for making the we'll must be
decided. Where competent well drill
ers can be obtained, the drilled we'll
Is the most satisfactory, especially If
1t Is necessary to go any great depth.
The most important thing to ascer-
tain in a drilled well, as In other
methods. Is the size Of perforations
In the strainer the water bearing
gravel will permit.
This can be determined in the test
hole or the neighboring wells.
The openings Of the strainer should
be equal to 10 or l2 times the cross
sectional area of the casing or sutfi.
cient. II possible, to allow the water
to pass through, into the well, as read
lily as through the water bearing
gravel or stratum. Long slots, punched
In the casing from the inside, with
the burr on the outside, are the best
In coarse materials, but quick sands
Or very fine materials often necessi.
tate special wire strainers.
In some localities 1t is also neces-
sary to ascertain which water bearing
stratum to use on account of the min.
erals they may contain, and the OBJ.
jectionable water can be cased off.
The style and size of pump will be
determined by the depth to water and
quantity that can be developed.
These factors will also largely de.
termine the kind of power to be used.
Under the ordinary dry land district
conditions, the windmill is the most
economical power. A small gasoline
engine which is equivalent in power
to the windmill and used to supple
ment the windmill during calm times
make an ideal combination for limited
water supplies.
