SMILES AN AID TO BEAUTY
Much More Effective Than Hours of
Massage and ls No Drain
on the Purse.

If women only realized that the best
beautifier is not to be bought on the
market, but is simply provided for by
nature, namely smile, this would be
happy looking world 1t is really
true a smile is the least appreciated,
but most efficient of beautifiers The
reason is this: When the muscles of
the face are relaxed they sink. The
time spent in sleep brings complete
relaxation of all the facial muscles for
a period of many hours. This down
pulling of the muscles, which cannot
be prevented, very naturally needs
counteraction. Now, if the face is
drawn into lines of discomfort through
the daytime, naturally wrinkles will
follow in very little time.
On the other hand. all the smiling
you can do in the daytime will not
make lines, because the drawing up of
the muscles in the day is offset by
their sinking at night One balances
the other in a way which keeps the
face from falling into either the up
ward curved lines of mirth or the
downward running lines of discomfort
Those women who spend hours in
massage should try this simple home
remedy for lines. Il is much less ex-
pensive and much less troublesome
than having a professional rub your
face for you.

SHOULD WORK ROADS OFTEN
Highways Need Constant Care to Give
Satisfaction-Use SpIit-Log Drag
After Each Rain.

There were many faults In the old
system of road repairing, when every
citizen had to work out his highway
tax, and now that it is all under state
control, with a cash system, perhaps
there is little better service given, ev-
erything considered, writes a New
York man in the Farm and Home. It
has been the practice and is yet, to
great extent on majority of the
roads, to work them some in the
spring and then let them alone until
the next spring.
This method will never give us very
satisfactory highways. They need con-
slant care the same as do railways
here a little and there little Keep
the water and loose stones out and the
larger part of the year we would have
very good roads.
Some system needs to be organized
be used after almost every rain. | have
used one enough to know that if used
and followed up as it should be, our
highways could be kept in great deal
better condition than they are now, at
no greater expense. Every farmer
should be allotted a certain portion of
road to drag and he should receive
pay for doing It, This would be
much better use to put the money to
than is done with lot Of it now.

Ten Ears of Corn From the Same
Field, Showing Great Variability in
Type Resulting From Failure to Sc
Iect Seed Properly.

In production due to the use of i'm
proved seed results in additional
profit
During the past 10 or Is years there
has been a great awakening Of inter
est in the subject of seed selection and
breeding as applied to our great gen.
eral farm crops, especially corn, cot
ton, tobacco, wheat, oats and other
crops of wide distribution and cultiva-
ton. One reason for this awakening
is that the land on which these crops
are grown has increased in value to a
very marked extent and it is neces-
sary to increase the production per
acre and improve the quality of the
crops in order to make farming profit
able. In high priced land it is neces-
sdry to grow more productive crops
than formerly if one is to make a rea-
sonable profit on the present invest
ment.
Another reason for the awakened
interest in seed selection and breed
ing lies in the fact that in the sec
tions where crops have been grown
for a considerable time the varieties
produced on these lands year after
year, where no seed selection or
breeding has been practiced, have
tended TO run out and become I'M
profitable. In addition TO the running
out of varieties under conditions of

the highways to exchange notes OF
mutual interest And it's a particu-
larly agitating point to the observant
masculine who gazes against the sun

well simulated Indifference.
For since this fad for colored
hosiery came in, the fair ones are

Colored stockings with buttoned
boots are the fancy, and women find
the colored hose much better for them
also than black hose, the dive Of which
is always more or less injurious, ac-
cording to the expensiveness of the
stockings.
In these days of narrow skirts the
stocking, even above the buttoned
boot top, is much in evidence, for it is
impossible to raise the skirt in cross
ing a street, or to sit on low chair
without revealing a little space above
the boot-top.
Silver gray and smoke gray stock
ings are in favor and also certain
shades of deep, rich red.
Some women wear blue stockings,
and green stockings are little too
pronounced in hue to be popular with
any but those who go in for extremes.
With the dressy evening boot of pat
ent leather, with high French heel and
buttoned top of kid, flesh-colored
stockings or those of palest buff are
fancied.

RIGHT KIND OF BRUSH
PROPER SELECTION MEANS
MUCH TO THE HOUSEWIFE.
VIII Be Found Advantageous to Keep
Goo6Iy Stock on Hand for vari-
Gus Purposes-Feather Duster
of Little Use.

Many brushes are needed in daily
cleaning. A goodly stock of these
ranks high in household helps. But il
is In choosing the right shape and
kind of brush that gives the most
satisfaction
Feather busters are as good as moth
ing, because they merely remove the
dust from one place and scatter it else
where.
But room cannot be properly dust
ed without some brushes a fairly
large round one, about two and one
half inches across. with bristles three
inches long, is invaluable for those
nasty little Lodges which are under
tables and in carved or ornate fur
niture, round the mirror frames and
in thousand such places. Then a
smaller brush of the same general
shape, but with the bristles cut point
ed, will clean out corners as moth
ing else can. If this brush is dipped
into gasoline occasionally and then al
lowed to dry out well before using. it
will take out the dust and the corners
viii not look SO gray as they usually
do.
For the white bathtub, a curved
brush, with fairly stiff, short bristles
is more satisfactory than a cloth. 1t
does not scratch, and saves a great
deal or rubbing, and long handle on
1t also saves STOPPING.
In the kitchen near the sink may
be kept two small. cheap scrubbing
brushes, about four inches long: one
marked ID" and the other W" the
first being for dishes, and the second
for vegetables Celery, rhubarb, the
tops of apples and all sorts of food
stuffs can be quickly and thoroughly
cleaned without the usual waste from
scraping, and an occasional boiling
keeps the brush clean For greasy
dishes, pots and pans, a small brush
does wonders saving time and the
usual scratching with knives.
very large brush, or rather a very
small broom, is also a most valuable
help. 1t is called ceiling broom"
and is the size of a child's toy, only

Nay Be Made at Home Just as Good

Standardization to
be Followed.

Padded daisies make an extraor-
ainariiy chic trimming for the mourn
Ing nat. and some of the late millinery
mportations have shown them com
oletely surrounding the brims. The
petals are usually a little over an inch
IN length, and the centers are about
twice as large as the natural center of
me mower they are made to initiate.

cut ovals of the size and shape to
make oaisy petal about quarter of
an inch wide and little over an inch
long At both ends the ovals should
De SNAPPED TO points, lust as the ma
turai petal of the daisy is pointed.
TWO of these petals thus cut are laid
together, and a seam is run about
them by machine, making one petal
from the two pieces. The bottom of
the petal is left open an eighth of an
inch up, so that it may be turned in
side out and the seams concealed in
the inside. Then take a match stick
and bit of soft cotton and poke the
cotton into the little petal bag with
the end of the match stick Make it
quite plump, and be sure that the cot
ton reaches clear to the point of the
petal. Then sew the petal up at the
bottom. Make a sufficient number of
these, say about twelve, to go all
around the little padded center This
center is made of circle of the crepe
de chine stuffed with cotton and then
pressed down so that it does not look
too balllike. The edges of the crepe
de chine circle are drawn down about
the tiny ball of cotton and fastened
with few stitches on the under side
The petals are then stitched to the
under side of the center. Very little
cotton is used to pad the lower ends
OF the petals, as this would make the
center too bulky underneath when the
petals are stitched to it, Some of
these daisies are arranged so that
slightly smaller petals are placed over
andebetween the gaps left by the u
larger petals about the padded center
This gives the effect of a double row
of petals, which is even prettier than
the single row. A Georgette sailor
with II or 5 of these crepe de chine
flowers lying fiat on the short brim

TlMID LOVER SAW The POINT

Horace was a devout but timid
lover. So timid was he that. though
the signs were favorable, he had never

ask his adored one the all-imL ortant
question.
One day, however. whilst walking
with her in the garden, wave of
unexpected courage swept over him
and he begged for a kiss.
You may have just one!" answered
he maiden. But, remember. kiss
may mean many things. On the lips
1t signifies all or nothing; on the hand
1t shows respect. and on the forehead
friendship. Choose which you like!"
Horace, with his eyes on the ground,
thought the matter over carefully.
though nervously He was reused at
last from his meditations by a soft
sigh.
Raising his eyes. he beheld his di-
vinity with her hat pulled down over
her forehead, her hands deep in the
pockets of her jacket and bor rosy
lips puckered as she sighed.

THREE ESSENTIALS FOR cow
Pure Water and Air anu Reasonable
Amount of Exercise Are Needed
for Proper Development
(By L. NJ. BENNINGToNA

Some of the leading dairy authori-
ties may argue as they may. but many
good dairymen believe that the time
is past when man with an ordinary
degree OF intelligence should advocate
the practice of putting the cows in
the stable in the fall and compel them
to remain there until spring.
This practice may not prove detri-
mental to the individuals during the
one generation that is so managed. but
how about the succeeding generation
and their progeny? VIII they not be
weakened?
The very first law Of animal health
is pure water and pure air and rea-
sonable amount Of exercise. and no
animal can be properly developed in
al of its organs and functions unless
il is provided with these three es-
sentiaIs.

SWINE ON RAPE PASTURAGE
One of Best Emergency Crops Grown
and Will Give Practically as Good
Results as Alfalfa.

The grower of rape should insist on
getting the Dwarf Essex, as this is the
only variety that is suitable for hog
pasture. There is a summer or bird
seed rape found on the market which
makes worthless pasture and should
not be used. 1t Is possible that this
mas been the cause of this mans
troubles, writes Turner Wright in The
Farmers Mail and Breeze.
have used rape for several years
as pasture for both breeding and fat
tening hogs and never experienced
any difficulty in getting them to eat it.
IL hogs that are not accustomed to
rape are given no other green feed
for few days they will soon learn to
EFT and relish it even though they are
FED liberal amount of grain. 1t often
happens that hogs, after learning to
eat rape, prefer it to clover or alfalfa
that is coarse and woody. have often
changed hogs from alfalfa to rape and
from rape to alfalfa and could see no
difference in the way they seemed to
relish these different feeds If the
hogs are turned on the rape when it
IS from 10 to IL inches high they will
eat it more readily than if it is more
mature.
Rape is one OF the best emergency
forage crops we nave. A good rape
pasture will give practically as good
results as alfalfa. 1t can be sown in
feed yards and lots that are used
through the winter and thus not only
furnish a pasture to take the place of
shortage of alfalfa or clover pas
ture but also provide means of
utilizing ground that would otherwise
grow crop of unsightly and worth
less weeds
