ton a second scant rufne of the en-
broidery is sewed on. Below 1t the
silk falls free and is finished with a
three-inch hem.
The bodice has a plain back and
kimono sleeves. 1t opens surplice
fashion in the front, with the front
pieces pulled in along the under arm
seams This allows them to fall eas-
lily about the waist and over the belt,
The opening at the neck is finished
with the embroidery put on almost
plain. There is very little fullness IN
the lounce Of embroidery which fin
ishes the short sleeves.
There are several fabrics besides
taffeta in which this model may be
effectively made up. The light, bor-
dered, wool challies are perfect for 1t.
Figured cotton crepes and the light
weight poplins, as well as silk ma
terials, adapt themselves to draperfes
and flounces. In making a choice II
is to be remembered that the body"
or stiffness of taffeta, and its high
luster, are not desirable for full fig
ures.
This is only one Of many designs IN
which the skirt appears to be made up
of f1ounces. They are set on to a
plain fitted underskirt of the lightest
and limpest of materials, which ex
tends below the waist only as far as
it Is needed, and is of the same color
as the gown.
There are many new and beautiful
tones among our old favorites in color,
Especially in blues and greens there
are charming, elusive shades that ii
is next to impossible to describe
Browns are golden, and yellow is
shown with all sorts of "casts," golden
yellow and greenish yellow leading
this popular company. With every one
of them the touch of black velvet rib

should be governed, however, by the
condition of the mares. They should
be gaining in condition with digestion
and be in the best of condition as the
critical time approaches.
Mares should be given a box stall
at least four weeks before they are
due to foal in order that they may
become used to it, and that they
may have a place large enough in
which to be comfortable during the
night. The stall should at all times
be kept clean and we'll bedded, and
more particular care should be taken
regarding these details when the foal
is born. The source of navel trouble
in foals is generally due to a dirty
stable or yard. AS a safeguard
clean STALL, the navel should be tied
and treated with a strong dislnfec,
tant, such as a solution of carbolic
acid.
If the season of the year and other
conditions permit, mares may be al
lowed to feed on grass. This lessons
the danger of infection.
After the foal has been born, dc
not insist on his getting on his feet
and nursing Immediately. Ordinarily
the foal with the help of his mother
will learn to stand up and nurse in
due course of time. If his efforts are
unsuccessful because he is not strong
enough, then he should be helped tt
stand while he nurses, and thus de
velop strength. The kidneys ant
bowels should act within the first "a
hours after birth. 1t they do not, 6
veterinarian should be called as
soon as possible and the colt be giver
treatment.
After his bowels and kidneys have
started operation, the greatest danger
is passed.
For ten days or two weeks aftel
foaling, the mare and her Offspring
should have plenty of sunshine anC
fresh air, together with a clean stall
and a lot in which to take exercise
The mare should not be overfed, i
any increase in feed is to be made, Il
should be made very gradually and no
until after the difficulty Of p~arturitiol
has been passed.

The horse suddenly veereG, dasaing
on at breakneck speed towards a
sharp decline in the highway. Peril
menaced. In a flash Bob was on a
sharp run, aiming to head on the run
away steed. There was only one thing
to do. Bob found. as he neared the
runaway-this was to describe a quick
leap, land directly on the back OF the
horse and pull him to a sharp halt
right at the edge of a pit where de-
ttruction doomed.
Some men came running from the
field. They knew the old man. He
was simply stunned and they carried
him into the house near by and the
two friends went on their way and
forgot the episode.
Tom vas staked by his friend and a
clean brisk campaign of publicity
commenced. 1t was quite successful.
Cne day Bob went to visit a person
said to be the richest man in the viii
lage-Ezra BARLEY.
He had heard that the old man was
misery and difficult to approach. The
minute he appeared at the door of his
house, however, his keen ferret eyes
scanned Bob closely.
"See here" he observed, from de-
scription you are a young man I've
been inquiring about. You are the fell
low who stopped my runaway horse
the other day and probably saved my
life"
ooh, not so serious as that" dis
claimed Bob modestly.
I'm the Judge of that" retorted the
old man In his characteristic terse
way. Nov then, what can I do for
your"
Bob told of the writesup proposition,
to which his host listened rather i'm
patiently.
"Humphi" he observed. "Tve not
much vanity, SO l don't cotton to your
scheme. l owe you a good deal, though,
and if you will not garble it, I'll go in
for a column. I'm rather proud of my
old family history, although today I
have neither kith nor kin in all the
wide world"
Mr.. BARLEY began the history Of his
life. 1t hadNa sad shade. He had be-
come separated from his relatives
while making a fortune. He had re-
turned from a distant country to find
them scattered, dead, lost. He had
not been able to find one near of kin
living.
"My sister Elsie, who was Mrs.
Prothero," began Mr.. BARLEY, and Bob
stopped him excitedly to tell him of
the friendless orphan, Elsie Prothero,
whom he knew.
1t took only a few days to prove
that old Mr.. BARLEY had found a near
and dear relative. He felt too CRATE
full to Bob not to see him started in
business on a good way. AS to Ethel
although an heiress now, she was
true to the hero Of her humber days.

ADVANTAGES Of the sllo.

The greatest advantage the silo af-
fords is that Of utilizing all the corn
crop. There was a time when land
was cheap and an abundance Of
coarse feed was at hand that had lit
tie market value. Under these condi-
tons it was not a serious loss If a por.
ton of the corn crop was wasted. At
the present time, with farm lands and
feeds high In price, conditions are diff.
ferent. When the ears Of corn are
husked in the ordinary way and the
fodder left in the field, from so to 20
per cent Of the food value Of the corr
crop is taken with the ears, while 80
to 40 per cent remains with the fod-
der. II is possible to utilize a small
portion OF this fodder by turning cat
tie into the stalk fields In the ordl-
nary manner. But every farmer knows
that tho benefits derived in this way
nro comparatively small.

FOOD WASTED IN KITCHEN
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley Comes to the
Front as a Critic Of the Present
Day Housewife.

I'VE have the most abundant and
palatable food in the world, and yet
spoil more of it in the kitchen than
any other country, or all other coun-
tries"
So says DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the
pure food expert.
Exempting his own wife, whom he
said he acquired late in life," he
declared that American women, as a
whole, are "the worst cooks in the
world"
Good food and good cooking are
~preventives Of DIVORCE" asserted DR..
Wiley. Last summer he sampled the
men Of French peasants, and from
that experience was born this ques-
ton.
Who ave- heard Of divorce in rural
France?
you can no more drive a man away
from a good table than you can a cat"
he continued, "and if you do, he will
come back. The way to keep hus-
bands at home is to feed them we'll.
"Old age is the only disease a re-
spectacle person ever should die of.
The average life in this country today
is forty-four years. There is no reason
why 1t shouldn't be e~ighty-eight. If
we would go back to the simple life,
we could all live much longer than
we're going to-"
DR.. Wiley advocated the removal OF
manufacturing plants from cities to
rural districts as the best solution of
the problem of urban congestion. If
this were done, he thinks, the cost OF
living would not soa so high, for the
lessened congestion would help solve
the question Of distribution of the
countYy's abundant food supply and
thus bring down prices.

have been the earliest pioneer Of spell

CARE OF THE BROOD MARE
PLENTY OF EXERCISE, SANITARY
QUARTERS AND CAREFUL
FEEDING AND TENDING
ARE ESSENTIAL.
BY e. A. Trowbrldge, Professor Of
animal Husbandry, College Of
Agriculture, U. of NJ.

Ehe time of the birth of a foal is
one of the most critical in the life
of the foaI and its mother. Careless
ness and lack of knowledge r res
ponsible for many losses which occur
The loss of foals before weaving time
has been estimated at from 10 to
rs per cent, and the greater part OF
this loss occurs before the foals are
two weeks old.
Mares which are expected to pro
duce foals in the spring should have
watchful attention throughout the sea
son. 1t is not necessary that the
brood have the extra care and
"coddling" which is sometimes az
corded it. Common sense and know
ledge of the conditions are necessary
however.
Prior to the birth of the foal, mare
should have enough IF good whole
some food and water; plenty of exer
else; clean, light and altogether SAM
try quarters, and regular attention
directed or given by a man who likes
the horses and who looks after them
not altogether from a sense VI pro
fit and loss, but because of human
interest and duty.
Brood mares may work up to two
or three days of the date of foalins
and be benefited by it. They SHOULD
be given moderate, but steady work
Such horses should not be given worl
which requires the backing of heav,
loads, or work where there is
chance of slipping. But they can an
should be worked.
Among satisfactory rations 70
brood mares are: Oats, 2 parts

1t is quite significant, the number of

1.-TWO years ago l was having so
much trouble with my heart" writes
q lady in Washington, that at times
l felt quite alarmed. My husband took
me to a specialist to have my heart
examined.
"The doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something l had been
accustomed to, and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.
II remembered that coffee always
soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart.
So / stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. | have had no further
trouble since.
"a neighbor Of ours, an old man,
was SO irritable from drinking coffee
that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and
made It carefully according to direc-
tons.
"He drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using
it to his lasting benefit. He tells his
wife that the coffee is better than II
used to be, 80 she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the family by serving
Postum instead OF coffee"

those shown in the picture, combine
SO many satisfactory features for
daily wear that they r most popular

They are cheap as to price and ex-
cellent as to material. Thin and
strong, wolfe Is the ideal fabric for
summer wear. Its staying qualities
make It worth while to embellish 1t
with a little hand embroidery and to
use the strong handmade laces for
finishing or decoration. Also there
are fine nets that stand wear equally
well, which are fine for decorative
purposes.
