EvERYsoDYs FIGHT.

When it is reported by farmer just across the Massachusetts border that a bushel of browntail moth clusters were gathered with little or no trou- ble and destroyed, it not only indi- cates the prevalence of this damaging pest in largo numbers. but it is a re- hinder that little time remains for the destruction of such insects if ad- vantage is to be taken of conducting an aggressive campaign before they hatch
 The effort which has been made in the eastern half of this state, particu- Iarly among the children, has been productive of excellent results, but wherever egg clusters exist today they should be cut and burned if this men ace to vegetation is to be controlled. It is in April that the caterpillars be- gin to emerge and to wait until then is too late The proper action now by the destruction of the web means relief later on. It is probable that only those communities which have suffered from the depredations of such pests fully appreciate the value of the timely at tack. but it is far better to profit by their experience, cut and burn the nests and escape the damaging re- suits than to neglect a duty. invite an extensive infection and repent later on.
 Wherever the town exists like that in Massachusetts where a bushel Of winter webs can be easily gathered the welfare of the community is being negIected Not only does it concern the individual, but it Is of vital inn pertance to the entire community. Pests are no respecter of person or orchard and the only safety lies in a general assault for the good of all. Wherever they exist 1t is everybody's fight

DATES AS FOOD.

Eastern women have known for centuries what American women are just learning. and that is that the date is more than a mere delicacy and is almost a perfect food. Figs, dates and nuts are merely the finishing touches to a substantial dinner with us but they should be put on food basis with other products.

CARING FOR THE NAILS.

There is much more required to keep ones nails in good condition than comes within the average manicurists s scope declares Mrs. Theresa Max we'll Conover. whose hands are far famed for their beauty. Tn the first place. if the hands are allowed to hang at the sides a great deal the blood collects in them and they become red and perhaps swollen, and the nails grow thick and coarse
 ''The nails grow rapidly and are easily trained. If they are brittle, apply at night a pomade made by melting together in a double boiler thirty three grains of powdered rosin ing half an ounce of pistache oil, then thirty-two grains of table salt, and, last, thirty-three grains of powdered alum, beating till smooth.
 If there are white spots on the nails spread over them a paste made myrrh, melted and mixed. Dip the fingers in olive oil in the morning to remove Neither high polish nor a tinting is permissible nowadays My own method of manicuring is as fol- lows: Hold the fingers for a few water. with a few drops of tincture of benzoin in it This softens the nails so that they can be cut if necessary or filed with sandboard without break Ing. IT also sottens the cut1cle and loosens it so that the scarf skin can be pushed down and back or clipped away to disclose the coveted half moon at the base of well cared for nails.
 ''The orangewood stick should be used in showing the skin back. Oxide of zinc in impalpabIe powder form. perfumed with a few drops of oil of violet, used once week. will keep the nails smooth and soft, but every bit of powder must be removed after the polishing process, as the zinc is pois- onous.
 For removing the grime under the nails, use the orange stick again, dip- ping it in lemon juice or ammonia, if the soap and water is not efffcacious. '

STAND CORRECTLY.

The prettiest face is no real com penSation for an awkward figure, and sitting and standing badly will soon ruin the shapeiiest of forms. Contin- ual slouching cannot but cause flesh to accumulate in certain parts of body and disturb proportions. ---
 As has been repeated so often here, the chest must at all times, either of motion or of rest. be kept up and out. Then every part of the body is in abdomen is out of sight and all the organs have their allotted amount of room.
 It is not necessary always to stand with military precision. Keep the body plumb but never tense. The chest is really all one need think about. It is ttresome to stand long with the weight on both feet. Transfer the weight from one foot to the other. but without any movement of the feet. Practice this exercise.
 l. Stand with heels from four to six inches apart and with toes slightly turned out, weight on both feet equally, and without moving the feet change the weight from one to the other by gently swaying the body.
 2. Place one foot slightly in advance of the other, and, similarly, transfer the weight back and forth without raising either foot.
 8. Place one foot diagonal1y forward and change weight; then diagonally back and do the same.
 {. To acquire boise, repeat the fore going series of exercises while stand ing on the toes.
 Remember you are not standing correctly if the shoulders are slumped forward or if the body rests on one hip or if the abdomen is thrust out or the knees are bent.
 Practice the above exercises faith fully, understandingly, and there will be no inclination to fall into any of these errors.

GETTING EVEN.

The manifestation of vindictive spirit always has it's drawbacks and detriments. Experience shows it to be so in every day life where 1t is daily realized that 1t doesn't pay. However difficult it is to curb it is best that 1t should be under good control. The policy of cutting off ones nose to spite ones face is narrow.
 This is as applicable to railroad conditions in New England today as to anything else There is more than the corporate organization dependent upon railroads and whatever is done in the way of bettering conditions should be done with that end in view and not simply getting even with the railroad There is the service to the public which must be taken care of and protected This was well pre- scented by ex-President Taft in his Bos- ton address when he said: The con ditfor the railroads are in is the fault of the railroads, but there is no req son why we should go ahead and break the railroads, no matter how lit tie regard we may have for the stock owners. We have got to call a halt on severity trying to get even- The worst possible policy is spending time and effort getting even with anybody. The difficulty is that the people are in the same boat with the railroads. We cannot have the roads in a state of collapse and have the rest of the country prosperous The railroads have been complaining for many years. They have cried Wolf. Wolf and now that the wolf is really at the door no one will hear them. We have got to deal justly with the railroad men even if they don't de- serve f."
 Such doesn't mean necessarily that wrongs should not be righted but un- der new nanag genent and new condi- lions a chance should be given without confusing the present with the past

coLORS RESTORED.

Blue stockings, especially very delicately tinted kind, which have faded can have the color restored by dipping them into hot water in which common bluing has been poured and some Jumps of alum dissolved, or they can, with white stockings, be re- colored, and so continue to do a, great deal of service. To the alum add dye instead of bluing, and so resurrect the faded pinks and blues and tan colored hosiery which have collected.

 Many supple moire costumes will still be worn. softened with trimmings of mousseline de soie and narrow lines of fur.

 Velvet toque and hats in bizarre shapes, especially the toque avocat, carried out in black velvet, with a high panache or aigrette on the side, are to be seen at every modiste's.

This rule holds good irrespective of color
