stefan wrote a pamphlet on SHUTTER
ing Children" and sent ii to an her
friends In IT she told the mothers
of all children who are inclined to

Care Of the Throat,

A famous throat doctor, who cares
for the vocal organs of many Of the
greatest of our opera singers, makes
the unqualified statement that II
threats and noses were systematically
cleansed many illnesses, including
bronchitis, catarrh and consumption,
would be averted.
A salt water douche and gargle to
cleanse the throat and nose thoroughly
should be used, he declares, at least
twice a day.
Fill a wide mouthed BOTTLE" he ad-
vises, holding a pint, with boiled wa
ter and add to 1t a ~teaspoonful of COM
mon sea salt. When you rise in the
morning and when you retire at night,
after gargling the throat with the So
luton, fill the hollow Of the hand with
it and draw it up the nose, throwing
the head back. This last should be
done carefully. 1t will cause coughing,
but will completely clear all the little
spaces and intricate passages Of the
nose and throat"

FASHIONS
FOR SPRING.
Materials That May Predominant
In Next Seasons Gowns,

In speaking of spring styles the Dry
Goods Economist says:
1t is the consensus Of opinion among
manufacturers that tailored effects will
lead in the orders for delivery during
the first three months of the new year.
For this reason the cotton materials
which lend themselves most favorably
to these styles are featured, such as
ratines in the plain, checked and plaid
ed varieties, linens largely Of ramie
weave. cotton, corduroy, voiles, grapes
and fancy cotton stuffs.
There Is more interest shown in pom
gee than has been evidenced for the
last few seasons, some of the newest
models showing the white and printed
effects combined.
In silks there is strong fashion in
dorsement for crepes de chine. Grape
meteors also being fairly popular.
MORE. faille and bengaline are used
largely for trimming effects. They also
appear in the higher priced merchan-
disc for novelty garments.
In regard to the popular priced mer-
chandise there is a tendency to com
bine fashionable coloring with white.
BY way of Illustration mention is made
of a white linen dress having the waist
and skirt yoke section of blue, rose,
tan. gray OF lavender, the skirt, collar
and cuffs being made of the white
linen.
Other advance models show a short
cutaway coat effect brought out in COL
ored linen over the white skirt, the
trimmings on the waist also being
white. Still other white dresses show
only a touch of color. this trimming eff
feet being noted in the embroidered
designs on the waist, in the collars,
cuffs. buttons and belts. Colored lin.
n bid fair to be quite popular in the
medium shades of blue, tan, mustard,
rose. wistaria and other colorings in
favor this season.
In ratines the color appears in the
small checked. plaided or striped de-
signs. blue. tan and black being most
~ used.
AS to voiles. the soft shadings are
usually seen in the wide embroidery
designs. these often taking the form
of the forty-ive inch f1ounces. Rose,
yellow. various shades of blue, laven-
der and purple are used on the white.
plain or Grape voile. and in some cases
a combination of colors is employed in
the embroidery. thus giving a decided
~ oriental effect,
Cotton cordnroys and pigues show
mostly the solid color or white for the
whole dress. with the exception of
small cord trimmings Of white on co!or
o. cOinred cords on white.

Toilet SUBMISSIONS.

When the hair splits clip the ends.
For ink stains on the fingers try
lemon and salt.
Corns can be removed by daily rub
bling with toilet pumice.
One dram Of boric acid mixed with
four ounces of distilled witch hazel
make a good lotion for a greasy skin.
Apply with IL soft cloth or velvet
sponge.
When the first symptoms of a head
ache appear take n t%easpoonful Of
clear lemon juice fifteen minutes be.
fore each meal and at bedtime and
continue until symptoms are past.
For biliousness plain lemon juice pro-
notes sleep and appetite.
Soap and water are needed to re-
move blackheads, which are caused by
dirt collecting in the pores. After
rinsing the face in clean water rub
over it a piece Of ice. This will con
tract the pores. After drying the skin
apply witch hazel to it.

Mllady's
Mirror
To Avoid Grayness.

10 Avoid Grayness.
Most women past middle age look
handsomer with gray hair unless they
are fat and colorless. but the difficulty
is to make them believe it.
A missionary says that few Of the
native women have gray hair when
advanced in years. This she attributes
to the nearly universal use of grease
on the hair.
A scalp specialist when asked about
this theory said: There Is much in it.
Gray hair often comes from too little
oil in the scalp. If women would grease
their hair more 1t would keep its color
longer"
The objection to a greasy head can
be overcome. A little vaseline can be
we'll rubbed into the scalp once a week.
If this cannot be done without getting
it in the long hair, go to a hairdresser.
Ii you will not use vaseline, at least
give the hair a thorough oiling each
time before it is shampooed, which
should be about once a month in cold
weather, oftener in summer.
Rub the hair with crude oil the night
before it is to be washed. Do not use
too much. About half what the anna
teur thinks necessary will be more
than enough. AS even this small
amount is ruinous to bed linen, tie up
the head and put an old case on the
pillow. Some women wear a bathing
cap for the M night.
Besides giving the oil needed to pre-
vent grayness, this application of crude
oil keeps out dandrun as nothing else
will.
Where there is a tendency in families
to turn gray early extra care Of the
hair must be taken. Do not use dry
washes OF 1t and be careful Of hot
curling irons.
Where there Is a tendency to gray
hair cultivate a placid disposition.
Worry acts on the nerves, and nervous
disorders unchecked are harmful to
the hair. For the same reason fight off
bad headaches. Besides their discom-
fort, the hair suffers. Thus indirectly
eye strain Is responsible for gray and
falling hair.

CREAMERY PLANT AT SYDNEY
Move 10 4 Wise One and Should Be
Emulated.

A cooperative creamery association
has been formed at Sidney in the
Lower Yellowstone valley. A butter
maker and manager, trained and ex-
perienced in the work, has been Sc
cured from Minnesota. He will have
charge Of the building and equipment
of the creamery plant, which will be
begun at once, and Of the development
of dairy interest and building of dairy
herds among the farmers and on the
farms as we'll as the conduct of the
creamery itself.
This is a very wise plan of in
augurating a creamery and deserves
to be emulated. So many creameries
have been built and equipped by pro-
moters at excessive cost and without
permanent interest in the locality.
Seventy-f1ve per cent Of such cream
cries fail.
1t is we'll for farmers and patrons
to build the creamery themselves.
Their personal interest in their own
creation is one of the best assets of a
cooperative enterprise. Interest and
support by patrons is worth more than
surplus cash in the bank.-F. s..
Cooley.
