family at one time was prominently
connected with the business life of
Charlotte.
1t was while visiting her sons in
Portland, that Mrs. Harmon learned
the art of making rose petal beads,
an art practiced by many on the Pa
cific coast where the beads bring high
prices. The process of making the
beads is very simple and her work is
very remunerative, which is all the
more interesting in view of Mrs. Har-
mons advanced age.
Mrs. Harmon keeps close watch at
the greenhouses and secures the first
rose buds which are generally thrown
away to make room for the more ma
ture roses. An ordinary market bas-
ket of rose buds will make two neck
laces, two feet long. Mrs. Harmon
takes the petals and grinds them
through a food chopper four times,
after which she place. r;lem in rusty
iron pan or else in a clean dish and
mixes copperas with them to give
them dark color. Aniline will give
the finished beads pink color and
should be mixed with the first grind
ing.
The next day she runs the petals
through the food chopper four more
times and follows this practice until
the petals have been ground 16 or II
times. The PUPPY mass is then rolled
into balls twice the desired size of
the finished beads and laid out to dry,
care being exercised not to let the
little balls touch each other They
are rolled three days in succession
and in laying them out to dry they
are pierced by strong brass pin,
which not only holds them in posi-
ton to dry but also makes the hole
through which they are strung later.
Before they are thoroughly dry, Mrs.
Harmon decorates the beads by prick
ing the outside surface with a pin
or thimble. When they are thorough
ly dry they are placed in bag and
rubbed together by shaking until a
polish is secured. A few drops of
olive oil is also sometimes used in the
polishing process. A few drops of
rose oil cut with alcohol, is rubbed
into the beads with the palm of the
hand, and then the beads are soaked
in olive oil for several days, when
they are wiped and strung. The beads
always retain the rose flavor and in
stringing them, Mrs. Harmon uses
little gold beads alternately and also
uses fancy gold clasp which makes
her strings of beads very attractive
and in great demand.
Il do not feel DID, said Mrs. Har-
mon, "And | really must have some
thing to do. This work suits me bet
ter than fancy work or sewing and is
certainly more remunerative. After
several years spent in the west it
seems strange here in the east not
to see any women engaged in this
beautiful work and it would seem to
me that it is a wonderful field for
Michigan women who wish to add a
pretty penny to their pin money fund,
to do so with rose petal beads"

Comfortable Coat
FOrfhe Little One

The coat that buttons right up
closely about the throat is always
comfortable for cold weather. This
little model is as simple as can be yet
essentially smart. Almost every
thing is belted this season and the
arrangement of the draped belt at the
low waist line is pretty and gives a
dressy effect but the coat is just a
plain one consisting of front and back
portions. In the picture, the chin
chilla cloth that is to be so much worn
this season is trimmed with velvet.
All the rough finished materials are
exceedingly smart and chinchilla is
always handsome, but there is a big
variety from which to choose.
For the 6 year size, the coat will
require ga yards of material 81, tx
yards Al, rs yards SO inches wide,
with Is yard p for the collar and
cuffs, yard of ribbon 8 inches wide
for the draped belt.
The pattern of the coat 1884 is cut
in sizes for girls from to years of

Housewives Will Find Canned Vegetables and
Fruits Healthful and Economical for Winter Use

in the winter, do not realize that they
sometimes pay transportation on
goods from distant parts of the coun-
try, when there is a surplus of the
same product in their own vicinity
during the summer months, which
might have been saved by home can
ming.
For example, a can of tomatoes is
bought during the winter in certain
districts for fifteen cents. Tomatoes
are taken as an example, as this is
one of the canned products which APP
of groceries. This can was put up
in a far-away state. The people of
the section where it was purchased
ways a surplus of tomatoes in sum-
mer, yet they pay transportation on
vegetables from district nearly two
thousand miles away when they
might have put up a similar can dur
which would have cost about five
cents. When one considers the num-
Der of cans used throughout the coun-
try, which have been shipped great
distances, one realizes the enormous
saving a little intelligent home can
ming might bring about. Home can
ming, however, should not seriously
affect the business of commercial
canning factories. There will be
plenty of people who have neither
the time nor inclination to can their
own products. More home canning
on the contrary will accustom people
more and more to using canned pro-
ducts in general.
Some practical experiments have
been made in the laboratory of the
bureau of plant industry's office of
farm management, from which every
home, where canning is possible,
might profit. This laboratory is not
what is known as modern we'll
equipped laboratory" In fact, it does
not look like laboratory at all. 1t
contains simply what every average
home may have, and is nothing more
nor less than an everyday kitchen.
Here recipes that are applicable for
every home have been thoroughly
tested, and are gladly furnished to
any housewife upon application.

north side of house. Six inches above
the dropping board place the roosts.
Two roosts three inches wide placed
about eighteen inches apart is the
ideal way. Nests may be placed at
one end of the house at least eighteen
inches from the floor. Eighteen in
cheS above the roosts a frame Xxi,
three inches apart should be con-
structed. Into this straw should be
placed at the beginning of cold
weather. This will take up all damp
ness from the fowls breath and keep
the house dry. The warm days that
the windows may be opened will give
circulation of air enough to keep the
straw dry and ready to take up the
dampness on the dark and cloudy
days. The rack to hold straw must
be constructed so as not to permit
the fowls to roost, or lay there.
For Comfort and Health.
The above style of house will give
comfort and health and you will find
it easy to clean and it is sanitary. The
outside walls should be painted and
the inside kept clean by whitewash.
Having all the floor space for the
fowls, litter may be kept on the floor,
where a little scratch feed should be
buried daily to keep the fowls busy.

Health Conditions i'm MiChigan'S
Rural Schools Not Satisfactory

their backs in order to write or figure
because the desks are too high. Small
chairs and tables are provided for the
little ones in only 1872 schools.
"The lighting of the school houses
is causing children and teachers spec
tacle wearers by the hundred. In 887
rooms children are forced to face
open windows while a similar fate
falls to the teachers in 1878 schools.
The eyesight of the vast majority of
children is impaired by cross lights
because in 6,457 schools or 80 per cent
there are windows on both sides OF
the room. Schools which have light
ing entirely from the left side are
limited to 242, while $50 light from
the left and rear. These injurious
lighting conditions are modified in
only 993 schools by the hanging of
shades at the bottom so that they can
be pulled up rather than down. Cor
rect decorating of the walls is found
in 2,072 schools.
"That the clubhouse problem is seri-
Gus is shown by the fact that but
1852 schools have we'll built, widely
separated outhouses, while only 1913
have inside toilets. Ample play
grounds are scarce. Schools contain
ing at least two acres are found in
only ITO districts, while those having
at least one acre number 1926. More
than half the schools have one-half
acre or less. The schools having a
satisfactory water supply total 4,463.
'The state officials should have the
authority to condemn buildings that
are insanitary or unsafe and to re-
uuire certain improvements and
equipment that make for health"
says Mr. Lasher. "The country school
children need proper health conditions
as much as their city cousins; it is
possible to secure such conditions at
moderate expense. The members of
the communities and the teachers
must be brought to an appreciation
of these facts. Even with that man
dotory legislation will be essential to
safeguard the rural children in every
community"

A greater enemy to beauty anc
happiness than indigestion never ex'
listed. From its ravages upon. the
helpless system come the yellowed
splotchy complexion, depressed spirits
and the habitual Crouch!
There are many causes Of indiges-
ton, but the chief ones are, first
imperfect mastication. Many per
sons are under the impression that
the process of digestion is not be-
gun until the food reaches the stom-
ach. Digestion begins in the mouth
where the food is, or should be
ground to a pulp and thoroughly
mixed with the first of the digestive
juices, saliva. Nature furnishes us
with about three pints of saliva a
day, and we are expected to utilize
that quantity. Therefore, we should
let nothing enter the stomach without
first mixing it well with this partic-
ular digestive juice. FletcheriZe con-
scientiously, that is, chew the food
until it is reduced almost to state
of liquidation. Doctor Fletcher claims
that if the food be SO masticated, we
can well do with smaller quantity
than is usually consumed.
The second cause of indigestion is
the teeth. If there are cavities in the
teeth or they are rather separated,
particles of food will lodge in them,
and the decomposition of such par
ticles interferes greatly with the di-
gestion and gives a horribly offensive
odor to the breath. The teeth should
be scrubbed after each meal and a
toothpick and dental floss used-in
strict privacy. Nothing is more dis
gushing than a person cleansing his
teeth with a pick before other peo-
pie. Any cavities in the teeth should,
of course, he promptly filled.
Third in the causes" is overeat-
ing-givinc the stomach too much
work to DO. Eating between meals
is largely responsible for the stom-
ach's overwork. 1t takes from four
70 five hours to digest food, and that
is why our three meals day are
set at 8, and 6 o'clock or there
abouts. So many Of our social GUS
toms and rules Of etiquette are based

Building q Poultry House

The ideal building location is a
we'll drained soil, with a south slope.
If this is impossible, take the nearest
and best drained location possible.
Having decided upon the size of the
house, trench should be dug below
the frost line and above the ground
level should be placed a board form,
about one foot high and the thickness
desired for the wall. This will act as
a retainer to hold the composition of
coarse gravel, mixed with cement.
When this is hardened the form may
be removed This space should be
filled with earth within four inches
of top of wall, the balance being filled
with sand or gravel. This will give
you a dry and rat-proof foundation,
as there is no floor or waste space to
harbor rats and mice and they will
not dig below the frost line to get
into the poultry house.
Style of House.
You may decide upon an elaborate
building, with gable roof, set window
frames, siding, lath and plaster and
all the finishing touches that you
would give to building your house.
This is nice, but it will not make the
hens lay any more eggs, or make
your poultry more profitable.
For a neat and inexpensive house
is shed roof construction with five
feet on lower or north side of house
and seven feet on south side. This
will take twelve foot lumber and not
cut to waste; matched hemlock YOU
will find good and not expensive.
Placing the boards in vertical posi-
ton on a frame work of 2x4. The
width, II feet, is about right for a
seven foot high front. Having decid-
ed upon the width; the roof can he
made of the same material and COW
cred with a roofing paper. This
makes an easily constructed house TO
build and may be built in pens of
1Ox12 in continuous house, or a
single house, this size. The two pen
house size have found good.
Glass, Doors and Ventilation.
Sunlight is most important fac
tor during the winter months and |
have found that an opening on south
side Axe foot, with glass and sash
2x6 foot, and frame 2x6 foot, Gov
cred with muslin fully answers the
purpose. The frame and sash should
be. placed SO as to slide to right and
left and the glass should run from
roof to sill and not crosswise. This
construction will permit an open
front on fine days and will give sun
light and fresh air on stormy days.

that women has a strong influence

men, but that in the matter OF their
enfranchisement their success can be
accomplished only through influence
directed in a womanly way.
Senator Townsend said that thou
sands of women are yet to be con-
verified to the belief that equal suf-
frage is desirable. He based this con-
clusion, he said, on the great amount
of letters and petitions he had re-
ceived from women opposed to the
movement. He added that If the
question came up in the senate, while
he is a member of that body, he would
vote in favor of woman suffrage,
although he felt that present condi-
tions in many states would not be
improved by its adoption.
