CREPE De CHINE THE BEST
Its Durability and Softness Make II
Ideal Material for Underwear for
Economical Woman.

The softness of crepe gives one a
chance to pack good many garments
in small space without adding extra
weight to ones luggage. Two or three
suits can be carried in valise and
take up only the corners of a suit
case. When one travels with such un.
derwear one does not find 1t hope
less mass of wrinkles at the end Of
the Journey. For whatever wrinkles
crepe de chine takes are easily shak-
en- out.
1t Is to the woman who must be
economical and who has very little
time at her disposal for mending and
renewing lace and embroidery that
these garments should appeal. Every
woman knows what the iron does to
lace. The damage must be repaired
each week, and keeps one constantly
at the needle. OF course, the elabor.
ate crepe de chine garments for eve
ming wear are lace trimmed and there.

Nothing Is so extravagant as the
: reckless purchase of cheap under.
wear. and that is one of our national
sins. Women who should know bet
ter indulge themselves in masses of
nimsy finery that does not last and
looks tawdry after it's first journey to
the tub. Under the influence Of soap
and water 1t loses whatever prettiness
It had and besides this it's stitches are
meant to last through day instead
OF through year.

KEEPING BROOD sow HEALTHY
Grass or Vegetable Diet as Pos
siblo-Roots Urged.

(By r. G.. WEATHERSTONE)
Grass and vegetable matter are the
most natural foods for pigs, although
they will eat and can digest a great
variety of things. The nearer a SOW
can be kept to a grass or vegetable
diet the healthier she will be, and this
system is preferable to dry, rich foods
consisting mainly Of grain, barley or
other meals.
Bran Is most useful when grass Is
not available, but where II is not pos
sible to give sows grass run, lucerne,
tares and other green forage crops can
sometimes be substituted
Roots, except that mangels must not
be given at all freely as narrowing ap.
proaches or the pigs are almost GER
tain to be born dead, are useful and
where there is a large garden 1t will
provide great deal of vegetable stuff
that can be advantageously employed
for in-pig sows-stuff, too, that would
be otherwise wasted. Large quantities
Of dry grain, and especially corn and
barley, must be avoided as too heat
ing; and hotel waste, butchers offal
slaughter-house refuse-indeed animal
matter In any form-are also bad, and
may, 1t is said, be an exciting cause
Of cannibalism.
When at grass or getting green
forage or garden stuff, few old beans
or some dry corn may be given once
or twice a week.
The food for the in-pig SOW for the
last week or so OF her time should
be as nearly as possible that on which
she will be fed for three or four weeks
after she Is farrowed. A well-known
breeder says:
1--WE have ceased to give barley or
other meal to our sucking sows until
the pigs are at least a month old. Our
newly farrowed sows are fed sharps,
or what is locally termed thirds, mid
dlings, ETC., and a varying amount OF
BRAN determined by the richness of
the sharps, the number of the litter
and the age Of the SOW, also condi-
ton" His recommendation for feed
ing the in-pig SOW is: Vegetable food,
with little dry grass, beans, peas or
corn until within q week Of farrow-
ing"

fire HAZARDS
OF HOLIDAYS.

Unsafe Christmas display are
the source of most holiday fires -
says the State Insurance Commits.
sioner, "and holiday fires are
probably the most dangerous to
human life of any that occur.
Churches, stores and bazaars are
usually crowded with people at
the time they are most elaborately
decorated, and fires occurring then
almost invariably result in panic,
with an accompanying loss of
life.
For the past few weeks many
folders and bulletins explaining
the precautions which should be
taken by merchants and,decorators
upon the approach of the Christ
mas season, have been received at
this department.
These bulletins show the dan
ses of tinsel and paper decorations
particularly when these materials
are draped about lights. Such
flimsy materials are highly in
flamable, and they burst into flame,
so easily that they carry fire in all
directions without moments
warning.
In churches and bazaars, es-
pecially in the smaller cities like
ours, these conditions are extreme
ly hazardous during times of
Christmas decoration. Air cur
rents often carry long paper
streamers or other pieces of decor
ations into the blaze, and fire
spreads over the whole building,
before any steps for prevention
can be taken. Because of the dan
geI from matches, cigars and Gig
arettes. the Insurance Commits.
sioner urges tnat smoking within
public buildings be forbidden
throughout the Xmas season.
The insurance companies have
issued a bulletin calling attention
to clause in their policies that
prohibits any increase of fire
hazard, through ill.advised decor
ations.
Anyinformation in regard to
your decorations OF temporary
electrical wiring will be furnished
bp this department.
We have, SO far this year, the
best record since tbs organization
of this department. We therefore
ask you to corporate with us, that
we may keep this good record to
the end ofthe year.
