everything from tobacco to toothpaste,
from hardware to haberdashery is
done in the name of the tango. Ger

New Tango Hair.

First and tOpmost of all is the new
tango hair which is of the most hectic
of hues dubbed tango red. Perfectly
good tango hair may also be done in
other equally riotously radient shades
such a cobalt blue, mauve, nile green,
or orange Then your tango dyed
locks should be done in the tango cof-
fure which means that it must all be
loosely waved, drawn neatly back
from the face and the back hair fast
ened and tucked under at one side of
the head with a jeweled tango comb
or two jeweled tango pins. Perch on
top of all is one of those fascinating
little lace tango caps exploited by Mrs.
Vernon Castle and the tango head is
fashionably complete.
The tango corset should be the start
and foundation of your tango toilette
de luxe. The accepted model is of
silk tricot with but one bone in the
front and back. 1t allows the figure
full play and yet is so admirably con-
that it confines and holds |
well in its proper place any undue en-
bonpoint.

VIRGINIA ONLY PRO. r.
OF RUTHE.

Virginia produced all the American
output of rutile in 1913, according to
the United States Geological Survey,
the deposits being located at Roseland,
Nelson county. During the year the
company which controls and works
these deposits produced 3O5 tons of
rutile, valued at about $4,000.
A large part of the rutile produced
in 1913 was used in the manufacture
of titanium carbide electrodes for arc
lamps. A part of the ilmenite found
in the deposits and separated by means
of magnetic separator has been sold
for use in making electrodes for cleo
trio lights, and the experiments with
the electric furnace point to the pos
sible use of ilmenite in the direct pro-
duction of tool steel.

TALKS TO FARMERS.
The Rural Club and its Problem.
BY Elizabeth D, Abernathy.

/
! In the February number of the La
dies Home Journal, Mrs Mary l. Wood
in her department of what women's
clubs are doing, says:
"As the club movement grows in
usefulness and service the problem of
the club in the rural community at
tracts much attention. The advent of
the telephone and the parcel post and
the good roads movement have
brought the urban advantages within
easy reach of the rural inhabitants.
But the club movement has somewhat
slow to meet the needs of the woman
who lives on the farm. The best club
women of the country are giving a
great deal of Thoughtful attention to
the subject. That the woman of the
farm needs the club is no more true
than that the club needs her. The.
strength of the club movement lies in
the fact that it touches all kinds of
women, binding them together in
great band Of helpful sisterhood, and
this band receives great strength from
the women of the lesser towns and
the rural communities.
Yes. the rural club is problem. The
rural school problem. The rural
church is a problem. The farm of to-
day is almost overwhelmed with prob
lens. Her first duty outside of her
her community. So in nearly every
country neighborhood we find the WOO
men club organized for church work
Of some kind, She barely has time
for this one club; but she reads of the
work being done by county and state
organizations of various kinds, and
longs for part in all these move
ments for social bett ornent.
About four years ago this longing
for service brought together few of
the women of our community into an
organization which, for lack of bet !
ter name, we called the Pheasant VAL
ley Ladies Aid Society. So weak
were we and few in numbers, that we
asked some city friends to join us.
AS they had been reared among US. !
and loved our church and people. they
promised us their support. Don't for
get this feature of our organization

knew.

1t is a common practice on farms in
Tennessee when curing meat In the
fall, to let the meat stay in the salt
for several months, take it up in the
spring and dip it in pepper tea, with
possibly some molasses added, sprin-
kle borax over the flesh side, and then
repack in ashes. This plan is all
right in every way except for the APP
plication of the borax. The usual
statement regarding the use of this
chemical is that it is used for the pur-
pose of preventing the ravages of the
skipper fly, and therefore for prevent
ing shippers in the meat. 1t is not
usually stated that borax is used for
hardening meat, but the latter is a
fact That is to say, that it hardens
the tissues and makes piece of meat
of better appearance than would be
the case without it, making it, there
fore, more salable. 1t is not probable
that the addition of borax does any
real good. The red pepper applica-
ton and the other things used, par
ticularly when the meat is hung up
for smoking (as is usually the easel,
III bags, are sufficient to keep the fly
off. In any event the addition of borax
in this manner is Illegal under the
Tennessee Food and Drugs Law, be-
cause in the first place, it is a sub
stance mixed or packed with the meat
which reduces or lowers or injurious
ly affects its quality or strength. That
is to say, 1t makes the meat appear
better than it really is. In the second
place borax is an added poisonous
or other added deleterious ingredient
which may render such meat injuri-
Gus to health" Experiments by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture about
ten years ago, under the direction OF
DR.. Wiley, indicated that borax in
small doses had manifest tendency
to diminish the appetite and to pro-
uuOC a ACCAAA6 VI AuAAhCoo anu uhOoioA-
ness in the stomach, sometimes re-
sulting in nausea, often in headache,
The weight of the body was likewise
lowered during the course of these ex-
periments, the unpleasant symptoms
disappearing after the borax
is withdrawn. All these things indi-
cate a tax on the kidneys to which
they should not be subjected, and
form the reasons for regarding boraz
as illegal.
Farmers and meat packers should
note particularly that the Food and
Drugs Department of Tennessee will
give this matter special attention dur
Ing the coming winter and spring, and
should avoid altogether the use of bo-
rax for such purposes,

people, and it is possibly fairly well
understood also, that the actual cost
of the materials used is a rather in
| significant item in the expenses of q
patent medicine business, but most
people probably do not understand
just how great are the profits on this
actual cost of manufacture. They ere
said to average all the way from 500 to
5000 per cent. Here are some in
stances which the Tennessee Food and
Drugs Department has found in the
course of its work and which have al
ready been published in one of its
Bulletins:
Natures Creation" Laboratory No.
1896, is made by the Natures Creation
Company, of Columbus, Ohio. The
analysis showed it to be composed as
follows: Water, sos per cent; alcohol
6 per cent. Total nonvolatile matter,
solid and liquid, 1874 per cent. The
latter consisted chiefly of iodide of
potash. The remedy was sold for the
treatment of tubelculosis, in cases of
which 1t would unquestionably do
more harm than good. The total cost
of material for a twelve-ounce bottle,
which is sold at $500 Gncluding the
bottle), should have not been more
than SOC at the outside. If the pack
ing is lut at 15c (Which is probably
three times what is cost, there is left
a profit of about 1000 per cent The
local agent for this firm was fined $50.
and costs in the Davidson Criminal
court, and this sentence was affirmed
by the supreme court.
Another one of these things was
called DIR. Capp's Wonderful Discov-
cry" 1t was declared to be the king
and Conqueror of the Great White
Plague, Consumption" and claimed to
cure pretty much everything else that
the flesh is heir to, including some dis
eases entirely unknown to the medi-
cal profession. This wonderful prod
uct was sold at the price of $1O0 for
a five ounce bottle. 1t was very much
the same composition as Natures
Creation" containing about per cent
Potassium Iodide, the remainder be-
ing chiefly water. The cost of mater
ials would be about two cents, and
with four cents allowed for the bottle
and cost of packing there is modest
profit of about 1000 per cent. The
man who was selling these goods was
fined $4,000 and costs in each case.
Instances of this sort on official au-
thority could be multiplied is necess-
airy. Is it not fair assumption that
such an unreasonable profit offers
great temptation to deceit, and that
great services ought to be rendered by
such products to justify such returns?

that which manufactures patent medi
