CURLS TO COME BACK?
INDICATIONS THAT THE FASHION
WILL BE REVIVED.
Style Can Be Made Extremely Pretty
If Sufficient Care Is Given to Its
rangment-lnfIuence of
Film Shows.

Woman's crowning glory has been
the subject of endless experiment
Not in the way of lotions or oint-
ments, salves and powders-al although,
from the day of the first shampoo,
probably no woman has been quite
sure whether raw eggs or cooked shaw
ing soap make the best lather. Yes,
we experiment with our locks when
ever we wash them, and then some
times.
But woman has never really made
up her mind about what hair arrange
ment she preferred First she wore
her hair down, then up, and then,
when she had forgotten the flowing
locks were a sign of barbarism-al-
though there are some maidens of the
South Sea islands, aren't there, who
pile their hair on the top of their
heads and keep it there with spikes
of bone?-she wore it down again,
and, firing of that, she put it up.
Is she going to wear it down again
now?
Perhaps For if you are a devotee
OF the film shows you will know that
many of the moving picture stars wear
their hair about their shoulders. And
the moving pictures are an influence
in modern life-even, perhaps, in the
fashion of doing the hair. Already
some young society girls have copied
some of the favorite picture actresses
and wear their hair curled about their
shoulders.
The fashions of the present, if any
body knows just what they are, favor
a return of hanging locks. For in
186O-perhaps we shall get our bout
FAINT skirts from that period-and in
1870 or 1880-and maybe we shall get
a tight bodice and p certain skirt dra-
perry that suggests hustle from that
time-women cultivated curls and
wore them hanging at the neck or
about the face. So with our old-fash-
Toned, newfashioned frocks a curling
lock on the shoulder or about the face
would be quite appropriate
Was the ugly little wisp of hair plas-
tered like a question mark on the
cheek last winter a suggestion of the
coming abandoned curl? Who knows?

FEED CHILDREN
On Properly Selected Food. 1t Pays
Big Dividends.

II parents will give just a little In
telligent thought to the feeding of
their children the difference in the
health of the little folks will pay,
many times over, for the small trouble.
A mother writes: Our children are
all so much better and stronger than
they ever were before we made a
change in the character of the food.
We have quit using potatoes three
times day with coffee and so much
meat
Now we give the little folks some
fruit, either fresh, stewed, or canned,
some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa-
sionally some soft boiled eggs, and
some Postum for breakfast and sup
per. Then for dinner they have some
meat and vegetables.
1T would be hard to fully describe
the change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and we
attribute this change to the food ele-
ments that, J understand, exist in
Grape-Nuts and Postum.
"a short time ago my baby was
teething and had great deal of stom-
ach and bowel trouble Nothing
seemed to agree with him until | tried
Grape-Nuts softened and mixed with
rich milk and he improved rapidly and
got sturdy and well"

New Definition.

THE study of etymology," says the
Philadelphia Record, causes no end
of trouble among that class Of school
children whose knowledge of English
is limited to words which figure in the
ordinary street conversation. and
many curious results have followed.
The custom usually observed by the
teachers is to require such a definition
of the word, then its derivation, and
finally sentence in which the word
is properly used. The word "ligament"
fell to the lot of rather diffident boy
recently. He defined it properly as "a
band" but followed up the correct
derivation with this remarkable SEN
tence: Il was wakened up last night
by hearing brass ligament going

AUTUMN is BEST TIME TO PRUNE GRAPES
(By PROF. J. G. MOORE, Wisconsin Col

1ege of Agricultural
In those sections where winter pro-
lection of the grape is advisable, the
greater part of the pruning should be
done in autumn after the leaves have
fallen. There is a variety of sys-
TENS of training in use, but the one
which will require the least attention
during the growing season is the
dropping system, commonly known as
the Kniffen system. There are sew
eral notifications of the original
Kniffen system, but these are modif-
cations of detail rather than principle.
The four cane Kniffen is the one most
commonly used.
In this system two-wire trellis is
necessary. The bottom wire should
be at least two feet from the ground
and the upper wire two feet higher.
With most varieties these dis
tances should be somewhat greater.
The four cane Kniffen system consists

sons growth possesses several times
as much wood as it is desirable to
leave for the production Of the next
seasons crop. AS rule the amateur
grape grower leaves altogether too
much wood on the vine.
Figure 1 illustrates vine as it ap-
pears on the trellis in the autumn
after the leaves have fallen. 1t will be
seen that the vine is really composed
Of wood Of three ages; "a" represents
the trunk or Oldest portion of the vine.
From this arises four branches, canes

season and which, at or near their
base, produced the fruit crop. These
shoots of the growing season just past
become the canes of the coming sea-
son. It will be noted that each of
these shoots possess a number of buds.
If all were left there would be too
many new shoots next season enIeav-
oring to produce fruit, which would
result in the weakening of the vine
and inferior fruit production. In addi-
ton, the vine would soon be only
tangled mass similar to a wild grape
vine.
Pruning of this vine will consist in
reducing the wood so that it may be
kept within bounds and still produce
she maximum amount of good fruit
without weakening the plant. 1t is ev-
ident that we must select four of the
shoots to replace the four two-year-
old canes. Two things should be kept
In mind in making this selection.
First, that the shoots selected should
be good, vigorous ones; second, that
they should arise as near the base of
the canes as possible, as it is desirable
to keep the producing wood close to
the trunk.

Fig. 1, we will therefore select shoots

nearer the trunk than &C" s, is dis

The next step is to make a fat

convinced that willow trees can be
made to stop the Panama canal land
slides. He has written President Will

Mr.. Boynton proposes that willow
piles be driven close together along

occur. These willows will grow He
