Feed the Visitors

One prominent csntsloupe grower
urges that all hotels, eating houses
and restaurants feed their guests with
all the pink meat cantaloupes they
can eat. He states IL is an excellent
advertise and since there are
many strangers In the city every day
they can become great factors in ad.
vertising the product. They may not
be able to judge by eating one melon
but after they have been served few
times they become great boosters,
This grower also suggests that moth.
ing but the best be served Oh the table
or allowed to be sold at the depot to
tourists and further suggests that
pink meat le modes be made more
popular.

Settling Basin Finished

The settling basin at the reservoirs
north of town has been finished and
at a meeting Of the city council held
the first Of the week the work was nc.
cepted. c. H. Trotter was the con-
tractor and had the work done by
George jackson. 49,
The basin has not been connected
and City Clerk Estes states that IL
will be connected before more water
is turned 10 thereby giving the town
better water supply from the start.
The water has been bad this season
due TO the old reservoir being so oiled
with sediment, but With the new
basin water will be much improved.

Keep Up Standard

The reports of market conditions
In the east emphasize the import
ance Of keeping the quality OF the
Pink Meated cantaloupes from this
county up to the very best stand
ard. Shippers are making q plea
to have the pack even, select the
melons, Gull out the Rrasshopper-
SCARED ones and ship only the first
quality Pink Meats. When the
eastern consumers find they can
get a good melon from Crowley
county, Colorado, they will pay the
price, but II the melons are poorly
selected. SCARED and uneven there
Is liability they will 60 slow
on the market, II not fall entirely
to sell.
This district has an opportunity
to establish the Pink Meat product
this season and spread its fame TO
sections of the country which have
heretofore never heard OF the mel
on with reputation our product
deserves, 1t will sell at good prices
regardless Of the enormous output
of other varieties, providing, how
ever, the choice melons reach these
markets.

Banlsblnq Gray Dair

For the egg shampoo only the yolk of the egg is used, and this is rubbed into the scalp well. then all over the hair. the entire head being well rinsed with warm water afterward.
 One way of hiding gray hairs Is to darken them. This does not mean dye them. Preparations containing neats- foot oil are very efhcacious for darken- ing gray hair.
 One lotion of this kind that could be used to good effect contains one part of bay rum, three parts of neatsfoot oil and one part of French brandy. These should be measured accurately and then mixed together. Use this as a hair wash daily. Shake well before using.
 An excess of lime in the system is said to have a tendency to make the hair brittle and cause it to split and crack. This. by admitting air to the inner cells of the hair causes gray ness; hence hard water for drinking purposes should be avoided. as should other things which contain quantities of lime.

Dow to Buy MlseIy

|aNE Of the first questions the young
 housewife should ask herself is. Do know how to buy2" And if the an swer is In the negative then she should ask. What is the matter with the way in which bty7''
 The Knowledge of how to buy Is the handspring in the works of household economy. and every clever woman who finds that she cannot economize as she ought to should look to the way she buys for the trouble.
 1t is false economy to buy second or third rate goods. But unfortunately very often housewives are buying in ferior materials quite uncoHsciously. This is apt to occur even to the wisest shopper in the matter of canned goods. The fradesnen8c can -handeto the igno- rant buyer third rate foods put up by very unreliable manufacturers.
 It is not right nor is it sensible that the ordinarily prudent housewife should be completely at the mercy of interruptions merchants in this way, and little Judicious thinking will remedy matters.
 In the first place, it is often safe course to avoid cut rate stores. By this are meant the stores which lure the unsuspecting public into their DOT tals by advertising standard articles at cut rates. They only do this to trap euS #ouyeTS 1IllO OIaors puTCnaSeS.
 Of course many reliable shops have their bargain days, but the shop which goes in for constant cutting is usually not a safe one. For instance, such a store will put the price on a standard article down a few cents in order to give the impression that it's goods are far more reasonable in price than at any other shop. Any woman. knowing that the market price for So- and-SoS breakfast food is 15 cents at all the shops. thinks, of course, that if this particular store sells that one arti- Fcle for 12 cents the rest of it's goods must be extremely reasona b1e.
 On the contrary, if this shop lowers the price of a really good article it is simply in order to raise the rates on inferior materials and sell them as first class foods.
 The buyer. then. should beware of such shops and stick to the stores she has tested and knows to be reliable
 Even then she should got be satis- fled to take any brand the store may offer. because it must have all the makes in stock in case there is a call for them The housewife should know just what brand she wants ant. ask for it by name and see that she gets it.
 The question now arises as to how to know the first class brands. The soIu- ton lies in avoiding all timed goods which are put on the market anony- mously And this means those hun dreds of cans of goods known only by fancy names which mean nothing. No one can be held responsible for the quality Of the goods unless the name of the maker is stamped on the label.

TNHE first gray hair! What a tragedy
 it's appearance is. to the average womani It is ssign of her declining youth. a goodby to her beauty.
 Of course she wants to know how to get rid of this teIltale mark or how to cover it so that all the world may not know. She usually makes the mistake of plucking it out when it first appears. not knowing that for every gray hair Eshe pulls out five or ten may grow in. The thing to do is to find the cause of grayness the monfent she sees it ap- preaching and then to take remedies before 1t is too late.
 Dryness is a very frequent cause of the hair turning gray Dandruff is am other reason. and of course worry is the greatest enemy of all to the woman who is afraid of gray hairs~s
 There are many preventives adver- tised, but few are of any use
 If the woman who is threatened with gray hair will only indulge in an egg shampoo once every two weeks she will find that the danger she dreaded will be deferred for many years.
