An Actor Having Modesty.

The eagerness of the playerfolk fol
publicity is SO often a subject for jest
that there is freshing novelty in the
fact that the article on "The Theater OF
Yesterday, To-day and Tomorrow" by
Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson in the
February Centuary 1.-THE Midwinter Fic-
tion NUMBER is the first magazine ar
ticle ever written by that distinguished
actor Like the other great Hamlet, Sir
Henry Irving, Forbes Robertson omits
the Sir in his programs, and there is
nothing to intimate in this century ar
ticle that he is knight.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
SUCCESS ON A SMALL FARM
What One Woman Did
KATE ST. MAUR

| Can a family make comfortable liv'
ing on small farm?
Yes; most emphatically yes, if they
possess ordinary common sense and in
dustry.. My own personal experience is
an undeniable demonstration of that
| fact. / started on a rented place with
really no capital, as a business disaster
had swallowed up all our savings, SO
that ! know what it is to commence at
the very bottom of the ladder.
The place we found was an oldfash-
toned homestead. There were two large
barns, corncrib, Toulouse and several
odd sheds. 1t was really farm of $50
acres, but the owner let us have the
house and twelve acres, including the or
chard, for SIS a month, on three
years lease, with the privilege of tax
ing over the additional 1858 acres at any
time during our tenancy for an addi-
tional So month, with the option of
purchase.
Stock Bought from Savings.
Stock had to be bought in small lots,
as / saved money from our living ex-
penses at first. SO | bought a few old
hens -broody ladies' that wanted to set
and raised forty-eight chickens the
first summer. The old hens had cost
$40; extra eggs for setting, So; feed, 81.
And on the credit side there were ninety
chickens sold as broilers, which brought
$22, fifty eight young pullets kept for
stock and all the eggs we wanted for
our own table. From a trio of ducks
sold sixteen young ones when nine
weeks old for $7.82 In November of
the same year thirty more were sold and
twelve retained for stock. can't give
the exact cost OF feeding, because no
separate account was kept, but certainly
$40 would cover it. The old birds cost
$3.50, so the profit on the Investment
amounted to nearly $780,
The apple orchard was in very badly
neglected condition, but still we realized
$3.50 from sales in the fall, and our veg
etable garden had supplied our own needs
and furnished a bountiful supply for
preserving and canning for win
ter. Having a balance on the right side
of the ledger, we built new chicken
house and bought a COW. The place WAS
entirely self-supporting by the eight
zenith month, and from that time on
stock grew so rapidly that it seemed
advisable TO take on the rest of the
land and raise all cur own feed for the
stock.
The great secret in starting on
small place is, think, to commence
with poultry, garden and berry fruits
md gradually increase stock and crop |
raising operations, as success and mar
xet, to say nothing of your own expert |
snce, makes growth feasible.

Colds to Be Taken Seriously.

Intelligent people realize that common
colds should be treated promptly. If
there is sneezing and chilliness with
hoarseness, tickling throat and coughing,
begin promptly the use of Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound. 1t is effective,
pleasant to take, checks cold, and stops
the cough which causes loss of sleep

insurance and savings for old age
You should have seen how happily
those girls were sharpening their pen.
ellis and plotting against that lover
who was to come some day. Do you
believe in this practical training? Our
progressive state superintendent be.
lieves in such education and, under tn,
law, can give money to aid countq
high schools which give such training.
Our normals and the state university
at Knoxville are training teachers to
give vocational work for girls and
boys-for girls, in cooking and sew
ing and sanitation; for boys, in agri.
culture and manual training.
A third ideal was, that every girl
must be taught some trade-millinery,
bookbinding, typesetting, library train.
ing, laundry, merchandising, bookkeep
ing, stenography, etc. They reasoned
this way: "This girl may marry a.
good husband, but suppose she be left
widow with children to support?
Then she should be taught how to
support herself"
The equipment of this school was un.
usually modern. 1t contained a the
ater, seating $500 people; a seven.
room furnished apartment for homo
economics classes, a model banking
institution for business students,
garment factory Of many sewing rooms
furnished with power machinery,
bookbinding plant, miniature zoo for
the study Of animal life, an imitation
department store for girls learning
business methods, and roof garden
conservatory filed with growing plants
for the botanical classes. There
were basketball courts, gymnasiums,
shower-baths, and lunch rooms.
When we came out Of that building,
bewildered by all that wonderful
equipment, l looked up at that beau
tiful nine-story schoolhouss and
thought Of the millions New York
spends on its education. Then
thought Of those backward counties in
Tennessee, thirty odd still left out of
the ninety-six, thirty which do not
have county high schools yet, and
wondered how long 1t would be before
those thirty can be convinced how
they are handicapping their children.

Keeping Nails Attractive.

In nowise is neglect Of the person
so readily apparent as in badly kept
nails. Neither can the manicure alone
be held responsible for their care. On
the contrary, If woman desires she
can dispense with the manicurist's
services, save perhaps once or twice a
month, and still have nice nails. Nails
grow rapidly and respond readily to
treatment.
If they are Ill shaped give them
almond shaped tips that are most at.
tractive by shaping them carefully
with the little sandboards. Use fine
pumice powder to subdue the rough
ness or to reduce the little ridges that
sometimes appear, and employ the
scissors as sparingly as possible. Use
them not at all upon the nails them
selves, but merely for clipping the rag
ged edges Of the cuticle around the
base of the nail. Push back the ,scurf
skin to show the coveted "half moons"
with the aid Of the orange wood stick.
To make white spots on the nails dis
appear, spread over them at night a
paste made OF turpentine and myrrh,
mixed In equal parts, and remove the
following morning with little olive
oil. A bruised nail should be plunged
into hot water and held there for If
teen or twenty minutes.
Many Of the Wanted powders and
rouges cause the nails to become brit.
tie so that they are constantly break
Ing, so as far as It is possible 1t Is
wise to avoid these.
Plain petroleum jelly or olive OIL will
answer every purpose of the pomade,
and, as for rouge, 1t is not in good
taste to tint the nails very deeply, and
If they are healthy and their possessor
is in good physical condition, they will
be pink enough without the aid Of the
cosmetic.
There is no harm, however, in apply
ing little carmine. Mix it with fresh
lard, and, If desired, perfume 1t with
q drop or two of oil Of violets.

Health and Beauty,

"For red eyelids there Is nothing so
beneficial as strong salt water" says a
beauty doctor Mix this about one
teaspoonful to glass and battle the
eyelids with it. 1t acts as tonic to
the lids and is particularly beneficial
10 eyelids that are troubled with styes
or granulation.
One very prolific cause for women's
wrinkles is the raising Of brows
frowning, screwing up Of eyes and
mouth when talking, This habit ages
far more quickly than years. When
women practice facial repose there will
be fewer wrinkles. The eyes and mouth
are the only features intended to show
expression.
A famous lotion of colonial days,
known as morning dew" consisted of
one ounce of rose water, half an ounce
Of glycerin, half a teaspoonful of borax
and three drops of benzoin. The quati.
ties may be multiplied If greater
amount is needed The lotion is ap-
piled to the chapped face, made rough
from wind or exposure. with bit Of
old linen.

Whether it is true that she is a

becomes a dainty morsel and

that it doesn't seem as if you were

All signs of approaching age are pa.

Is much that woman can do to ward
off these signs. AS a matter of fact,
any woman can grow old so graceful

from all petty annoyances, do not al

terested in sad events or happenings.
Sadness tends to keep the muscles re-
Taxed, particularly those around the
mouth and eyes.
A woman who is sad and has a wor-
risome disposition will age long before
her time, and all the massage treat
ment, with application of ointments
and creams, can do little to ward off
this aged look. The fat muscles of the
cheeks relax, and this soon leads to
deep ridges and burrows about the jaw
and the chin. In turn the eye muscles
are pulled down, and the result is
haggard, unhealthful look.
1t is generally admitted that two per.
sons living together often become alike
in many ways and habits. Their man.
nerisms become so pronounced that
even others notice it. The same thing
may be said Of woman's thoughts.
If they are pleasant they reflect in her
face, and the result is a pleasing per.
sonality. A pleasant and happy dispo-
sition has great deal to do with the
making and keeping Of firm flesh. A
woman who Is cross and becomes peev-
ed over trivial matters usually has
firm look about the mouth and chin.
This f1rmness strains the muscles un.
der and about the chin to such an ex-
tent that when there is the slightest
relaxation the flesh about those parts
becomes baggy and loose, double chin

Turner, the English painter, was
blunt spoken and often gruff, but
on occasion he unbent enough to
jest-occasionally at his own ex-

His famous picture, "The Slave
Ship"-that wonderful combina-
ton of flaming and gorgeous colors
was once described by an exas-
perated critic as ga cat having a
fit in a dish Of tomato salad" Tur-
ner had never heard the phrase, but
once when a salad was passed to
him at dinner he put on a critical
and considering air as he regarded
it and remarked to his neighbor:
"Nice, cool green, that lettuce,
isn't it? And the beetroot pretty
