The Turban and the Half Veil.

The Turban and the Half Veil.
The Dry Goods Economist says that
in spite of their long run close fitting
turbans continue to occupy an excep-
tionally prominent position in the mil
linery world. AS a consequence, the
half OF nose veil, which is especially
effective with this type Of hat, contin-
ues an excellent seller. It is particu-
larry popular in the dainty chenille
and woven border designs. However.
in many instances the more elaborate
novelties which we're originally de
signed for wear over the entire face
are adjusted in nose fashion, the sur
plus amount Of the veil being ar
ranged over the hat so as to serve q
an additional decoration.

story of a little argument in the court

and an elderly physician. The attor-

detrimental to his cause, he was try
ing to show that the doctor was mex

He asked several satirical questions
The physician answered patiently
Finally he tried a final shot.

Adelaide s. Hemstreet OF Indian
Head, Canada, has just been granted
a patent for q combination crochet
work bag and spool holder. The work
bag is suspended on a belt. On the
belt also is placed a sheet metal
bracket with arms for holding the
spool. This allows the thread to be
easily unwound as 1t Is being used.
There is no chance for the spool to
slip of ones lap and roll across the

which should appeal to all women who

They are made with a long waist anda
short skirt, made Of two circuiai

Different shaped buttons not only
come in plain colors in dark modlsh

Of a contrasting color. Sometimes
there is only one stripe across the
center, sometimes it is the button
edge that has pencillike lines OF
deeper or lighter color.

the smart models are of the redlngot'

Pure BREEDS of All Kinds.

OF course, keep pure bred poultry
on the farm. Why not? The pre-
bred fowls OF any kind--chickens tur
keys, ducks or geese are just as easy
to raise as the scrubs, cross-breds
and mixed breeds. Besides, they give
the farm sort of dignity and stand
ing in the estimation of passersby that
is worth something to the owner. The
day of scrub stock has passed, and
the sooner you get this into your head
the better
There is no disputing the statements
"The farmer who keeps pure-bre !
stock of any kind on his farm is held
in higher estem among his neighbor,
than the farmer who does not The
farmer who keeps purebred or high
grade stock of all kinds is known and
talked about for miles around as one
of the most cnterprising men in his
community or county. Everybody
knows him; everybody has heard OF
him far and near. He is recognized
as progressive up-to-date man, an
authority on live stock matters His
opinion is quoted and accepted as
good evidence with his neighbors.
What is there that makes a nicer
show on the farm than lot of pure
bred chickens? 1t at once suggests
thrift intelligence and enterprise, and
a good impression of the people who
own the farm is the result
A nicely kept lawn, surrounded by
neat substantial fence, indicating
that the family and the pigs and
chickens do not live together is a fea-
ture that helps with the pure-bred
fowls. A combination of neatness
and purebred stock on the farm is the
greatest incentive in creating a good
impression of the farm. its owner and
manager. 1t is an advantage to any
family to be associated with a pros
porous pure bred live stock farm.
Commence breeding pure-bred stock.
Throw out the sign by display of
tne-bred fowls. Nothing looks bet
ter on the farm; nothing is more at
tractive and of greater advertising adj
vantage.-Twentieth Century Farmer.

NOW is THE TIME TO KILL
POULTRY LICE.
Hiding Places of the Vermin Should
be Cleaned Out.

One of the best ways to fight lice
on poultry is to keep the nests and
roosts clear of hiding places for
them. Thus it is wise to have all the
buildings just as simple as possible
Frequently, however, lice will bother
no matter how well the place is kept
cleaned up, and it is necessary to dust
the birds with powder. Here is a
good insect powder used at the New
York experiment station:
Mix three parts of gasolene witt
one part OF crude carbolic acid of @
per cent strengttf-one part OF cresol
will do, if the acid is not available
and gradually add, with stirring
enough plaster of paris to make, when
the liquid is uniformly mixed, a dry
pinkish-brown powder having a fairly
strong carbolic odor and a rather less
pronounced gasolene odor. AS a gen.
eral rule, it takes about four quarts OF
plaster of paris to one quart of the
liquid.
In using this powder on the birds
remember that the eggs are not killed
by one busting, and as these probabl,
are present at the time of the appl
cation, more than one busting should
be given. Repeat the application
once or twice, at intervals of from
four days to a week
For spray to be applied to nest,
and roosting places to kill the insect
mix three parts of kerosene to one
part of crude carbolic acid of IS per
cent strength. Stir this mixture be
fore it is used. 1t also may be used
as a paint as well as a spray
