COFFEE IN POISON BOTTLE.
Wife's Mistake Caused Neighbor q
Five Mile Run.


Passaic, N. J.-When Mrs. Frederick
Godolen of Lodi prepared coffee for
her husbands lunch she thought she
had placed 1t in the bottle her hus-
band usually carried 1t In. Instead,
she had poured it into a half filled bot
tie OF poison. She did not discover
the mistake until an hour after her
husband had left home. He is en-
ployed at the National SILK Dyeing
company plant at Dundee Lake, five
miles away. Mrs. Godolen ran to the
home of Stanley Terra, a neighbor, and
asked that he run to the mill and save
her husbands life. Ferra ran all the
five miles to the mill. where he found
Godolen and told the story.
The coffee bottle was Immediately
destroyed. Godolen had been accustom-
ed to take a sip of coffee early In the
morning. nut he failed to do SO this
time.
Mrs. Gofolen said there was enough
poison In the coffee bottle to kill ten
psopls.

Alfalfa requires a firm seed bed. For
this reason Ii Is not advisable to pillow
the land Immediately before seeding,
as it is almost impossible to get the
soil sufficiently firm again.
In western Kansas, herds of cattle
are rounded UP and driven over the
fields to pack the soil after blowing it.
Ii, in order to get the land leveled up
and In shape to seed, it is necessary to
pillow just before seeding, this blowing
should be rs shallow as possible, and
packer, roller, and harrow used to
make 1t solid again. Before seeding,
the surface of the field should be pro-
vided with perfect drainage by the
use of ~leveler, grader, and pillow,
bitches may be made broad with slop-
Ing banks, so as not to interfere with
seeding or moving. Alfalfa will not
grow where water stands and freezes
over 1t In winter or gets stagnant in
summer.
Ii good surface drainage Is provided
30 that the crowns of the plants have
plenty of air and the soil is sweet,
there need be very little nee as
to how deep II Is Il the water table.
In regions Of plentiful rainfall it is
advisable to plant alfalfa on land hav-
ing good natural drainage.
The land seeded to alfalfa will not
need to be prepared again for six to
ten years, hence, three or four times
as much work can well be put on Ii
In preparation for alfalfa. A satisfac-
tory preparation made on the l II c
farm at Grand Forks, N. D., in 1913,
was as follows:
The land was In wheat In 1912
(should have been fall plowed but
we did not get the farm until March,

ble-disked as early as possible, plowed

row. Wild oats started so the land
was double-disked ten days later, and
narrowed the second day after disk
ing. AS the land was rather cloddy
and no rain fell. a f%rog-foot roller was
used. A land leveler was then run
both ways as the field was full of dead
burrows and back burrows from prev
ious forty years blowing. The land
~leveler was followed by the peg-tooth
harrow.
About ten days later another fine
crop of weeds was double-disked and
the harrow used later. The middle of
June the field was narrowed and rolled
again with a frog-foot roller, just pre-
vious to seeding with the grain drill.
The single disk drill loosened up the
surface sufficiently for a soil mulch.
Except In a few dead burrows which
were filled with loose, dry dirt, the
seed was put In moist soil about one
inch from surface. Regardless of the
fact that there was not a rain Of one
half inch at any one time previous to
july LIST. and the rainfall for the s,a-
son was as follows: April, LOS in;
May, 1.52 in; June. 1.21 in; July, 2.S6
in, we have a good, thrifty stand OF
alfalfa. The field Is eve and In fine
condition and should continue to yield
for ten years. though we will doubtless
not leave 1t down that long.

DICTATES OF FASHION

Plaitings of net are very much used
on the new caps for babies.
Separate skirts of linen or pique
for golf or tennis are severely plain
in line and have patch pockets.
Wells of extremely fine linen mesh
are worn over the small hats and
cover only the upper half of the face.
The cap crown of MORE, satin or
taffeta finished with a heavy cording
is a feature of many of the newest
hats.
The tango nightgown is the newest,
and resembles 1ehemise and Turk
ish trousers combined. 1t is said to
be comfortable.
Sashes and belts are feature of
children's dresses. Sashes are quite
wide Belts are of suede and colored
and patent leather.
Frocks of white taffeta have super
seeded the ones of white crepe de chine,
so popular last season. They are
trimmed with ruches, pufings and
shirrings.
Smart little eton jackets of taffeta
accompany children's frocks of crepe
or batiste. These are sometimes Dor
dered with small bullet buttons of
coral, jet or amber.

A most useful addition to the child's
wardrobe is the one-piece pinafore,
which, made to cover dainty frock,
can be slipped on and off at mo-
ment's notice, thereby solving the
problem of keeping the child pre-
sentable during play-time, and also
helping to curtail the weekly laundry
bill. 1t should be made in galatea,
brown holland, linen or any washing
material THAT resists hard water. The
pinafore is slipped over the head, and
the making of it up offers no difficult
ties whatever, for the piece of straight
material is just doubled lto the length
of pinafore required), and then shaped
at the neck and shoulders. 1t is fas-
tened at the side with tapes. but little
straps of the material fastened on one
edge and buttoned on to the other can
be used Instead.
Pockets, of course. should be added
to the apron, for children delight in
these, and small designs, such as fig
ures, animals, flowers trees, etc,
may be worked on them 1t should be
borne in mind however, tflst all mate

Washington and Lincoln were men of

their youth This is a tremendous
advantage. All farm boys have it, and
they now have an advantage in many

The life of a veil depends entirely

for the preservation of wells that an

Whenever you take of veil, roll 1t.
Now take the bottom of the veil in
your right fingers and the top in your
left fingers and give it q gentle pull
to stretch any wrinkles, and after
that do what you please with it. You
may fold It over and put 1t In your
handbag if you choose, or in a crowd

veil next time you will find that 1t is
