Cotton Growers Warned
Against "1alf-and-Half''

Based in extensive experiments. the
Agricultural Department today issued
a warning to cotton growers against
a variety OF cotton called "Half-and-
HALF" whicl, the department says has
been introduced in various States
under MISREPRESENTATION.
The seed has been sold for as rnuch
as IS a bushel. says the statement. on
the theory that 1t is exceedingly pro-
lifc. Yielding a 500-bale from 1000
pounds OF seed cotton. As q matter Of
fact, 1t IL announced. 1t has been
found far inferior to other cotton
and Is scarcely marketable.

Further Experiments.
Prof. Rittman. who has been in
Washington for several days. will leave
for New York tonight to perfect further
experiments in the Laboratories Of Co.
lumbia University, where he made his
toluol and benzol and gasolenc discov-
cries. For the past two days, the young
scientist has been showcred with con-
gratulations by chemists and men Of
letters. He has accepted these compli-
ments with quiet reserve. To those who
asked, he ascribed his success to a
strong body and physical health ac-

There is no students pallor in the

"The oil is passed in the form Of
vapor into a tube which Is under pres

of about 40 degrees centigrade. This
breaks the kerosene molecules up into
small Gaseleru molecules. The process
is similar to the popping of corn and
very simple. The old way was to distill
off the gasolcne from the liquid. and
could be obtained by my process VIC
break ur the residue--the big molecules
that were not used heretofore to get
gasoiene. 1t virtually begins where the
old process leaves off. Double the

to boil in a coffee pot and as soon as it boils madly. pour some of 1t out into the bowl over the coffee Stir well with a spoon. then pour the contents of the bowl into the coffeepot and set back over the fire where it will boil But 1t should boil gently now so that it will not bubble over.
 Crumple up some tissue paper and stuff it into the nose of the coffee pot so that all the aroma may be confined inside the pot Let boil gently for about five minutes Then set where il will keep hot for twenty minutes without boiling.
 Coffee can be served at once after the five-minute boiling. but it gains in strength and richness if allowed to stand for fifteen or twenty min utes longer,
 This may sound like complex process, but it is really quite sim pie, and the satisfaction of having a clear, finely favored cup of coffee will compensate for the pains taken in making it.

The decrecs Of Dame Fashion as re sards styles for fall and winter have been handed down to the for tunate arbiters Of dress whom she has chosen to disseminate her ideas and the designs shown are espe- cially suited 10 the capabilities ot the home dressmaker. says our New York letter.
 One thing about which Dame Fashion is very positive is that We shall walk in silk attire Perhaps this is because there is greater demand than usual on the resources Of woolenS as a result of the Euro pean war. Silks are getting stiffer, and the plain kinds are gradually yielding to those which display more or less decided patterns. Polka dots and Dresden china designs are to be extensively worn during the fall and winter. Some of the patterns that entirely cover the fabric are of
 
 tinted foulards. often with patterns not unlike brocade, wear well and do not crease.

The designs that are not too extreme of line are good investments with a view for wear during the entire win ter Many of the smartest coats, intended for combination and inde- pendent wear, extend half way the length of the skirt. There is de cided flare below the waistline, which, by the way seems to be getting nearer the normal, and the best tailors are showing models with plain backs in which there is no center seam Other autumn coat models, however, are as rich in seams as the designs of decade or more ago.

There are various ways through which one may hope to make good coffee One way is to buy patent cosfeepot-either a percolator or a French-dr1p pot-and follow carefully the directions given for using it. An other way is to make "old-fashioned" boiled coffee and settle it with an egg.
 To make coffee in this way. for two. one egg can be used to mak coffee enough for three meals,
 First, wash the egg carefully. Then break it in two, being careful to save one-half of the shell unbroken. Let the contents of the shell run into an egg cup. With a spoon, take shell and put into a bowl. Now, in vert the unbroken half shell over the egg that remains in the cup so that it forms a sort of cap or pro- lection against drying up and set the egg cup in the ice-box for fur ther use.
 Into the bowl, containing the small amount of egg, (white, yoke and shelD. measure out three and half rounding tablespoonfuls of finely ground coffee and mix thoroughly with the egg so that the coffee is coated all over with the egg.

 The method of pressing the leaves on the wrong side with a warm iron drying out every particle of natural moisture in the leaves, is a simple method, and the leaves seldom erin lle as when pressed in books. The leaves may afterwards be given a light coat of varnish, or lightly brushed with a thin coating of par affin Strange to say, they retain the delicate colors.

Why is thinness a defect which you should try to overcome?
 There are two reasons In the first place extreme thinness is a sign of bad health, or of constitution al weakness. at the least. In the second place the extremely thin woman grows old and ugly with ab- normal quickness.
 Vitality and all-around muscular development and perfect health de pend upon well nourished tissues. The thin woman may not feel ill a nervous, hysterical energy is one of her symptoms-bu the fact re- mains that her tissues have not re ceived and are not receiving proper replenishment from the blood, She is not assimilating her food; it's rourishing clements are not being utilized properly in the wonderful natural chemistry of the body.
 In one sense, abnormal thinness is q llOlt udIStl OuS lIdlduy thdh ep normal fatness, because the former is more subtle. Nature gives a warn ing to the stout woman by making her uncomfortable, especially dur ing the not months. The thin wo- man is less lucky She meanders along. feeling strong enough 10 per form the duties that fall to her lot She is tired most of the time, her face Is pale, she suffers from indiges- tion, catarrh and intestinal com plaints. But she doesn't suspect that anything really serious is the matter with her.
 But food is not the only factor to be considered in the problem of development There is sleep. The time when deplenished tissue is most easily renewed and rebuilt is the per iod during which the body is com pletely relaxed in sleep, which has rightly been described as renewal" |" Therefore the thin woman should spend as much time as she possibly can in sleep.-Dr. Adams.

ADHESIVE PC CAS1ER,

Use adhesive plaster for cuts and open wounds instead of the more familiar variety known as court plaster To prevent bleeding lay a bit of gauge over the wound before applying the plaster The iodoform gauge is good for this purpose and prevents the entrance of germs.
 When applying adhesive plaster to scalp wounds carefully cut away the surrounding hair. The reason is two-fold. First, the hair may be dusty or hold impurities which might lead to pus formation in the wound; and second. because detaching the plaster after recovery, or for re dressing, is painful proceeding when hair has been caught beneath

FROCkS THAT ARE SIMPLE, VET
 NOT PLAIN.

There is world of difference between simplicity and plainness, as any well dressed woman will admit. Yet it is always the simplicity key note that we hear emphasized when smart frocks are under discussion.
 Fashionable dressmakers are hay ing great success with lace, chiffon, organdy and linen frocks, for these materials promise to be fashionable all winter.
 Many are the frocks in taffeta, too. Some show stripes, others checks. X number are bound or trimmed in narrow velvet or plain color.
 Net is quite as popular as any of the new materials, although t has held over for at least two sea sons: it has a suggestion of dressi- ness that makes it appropriate for formal frocks.
 Among the sensational novelties of the season are the new bracelet bags They are really little silk pouches, quite in the shape of the seasons bag, but the frame is sup plemented by a bracelet of the same metal or shell, as the case may be.
 Butterfly girdles are just the thing for the afternoon or evening frock of sheer material.
 Black frocks are to be very fash ionable during the autumn and win ter. When made of tulle they will invariably show touches of jet-not heavy trimming that will rob the frocks of their airiness, but marrow bands of delicate jet tracery, mel edges of jet, tiny pendant balls Of jet, spidery embroidery motifs in minute jet beads, etc.
