You ask me. How is 1t possible

To the first ] answer: 1t is not at

of actual disease, to be fat In most
women fat is the result of laziness,
wrong eating or neglect. Any woman

The process also includes sterilization, in

lines, who, though called fat by the
unthinking, is not fat at all. Such
women lend themselves admirably TO
the true lines. Their only danger is
that the canvas is so large that there
is more Of margin left for error.
A little intelligent study will obviate
this danger and give them their right
harmonies.
The very thin woman has an ad-
Vantage that the very fat woman has
not. II is always easier to disguise
the lack Of certain physical qualities
than it is to hide a superabundance
Of them. And 1t is easier to build
up to a standard than it is to drill
down to one.
Nevertheless, It is important to
know that there Is a standard. that
the standard can be attained and

mcny."
But. they say. this year there is
one fashion in lines. last year there
was another. next year there will be
still another, and each will be diff

true lines. Which one is right?

But these were excrescences. false

(which soon met their end. The true
lines Of fashion are very. very old
ones. The Greeks knew them. The
women OF the Orient have known
them for ages.
Their secret is simple. They are
the lines that will truly and best
bring out the natural and inherent
beauty of the perfect woman figure.
They are the lines that will hide or
disguise any departure from the
right mould OF nature
They are not the lines that add
the faintest grotesquerie or exag-
geration TO the figure. Z

Even where for convenience and
economy it is desirable to have the
dairy under the same roof as the ice
house it is not satisfactory to attempt
to combine the ice storage with cold
store. When it is necessary to use
Ice for chilling milk and other dairy
products 1t is better to remove the ice
from the ice house or compartment and
place 1t in specially constructed ice
box or refrigerator, rather than to at
tempt to maintain a cold room by stor-

GOOD QUALITIES OF MANURE
All Growing Plants Require Certain
Food Elements Which Must Be Sc
cured From the Soil.

Some farmers used to have the no.
.tion that the only reason they had for
hauling manure onto the fields was
to get it out of their way. This class
of men would have thrown the fer
tilizer into hole had one been handy.
OF late 1t is difficult to find farmer
who does not believe in the fertilizing
qualities of manure. Manure is the
cheapest and most efficient fertilizer
which the farmer can use upon his
land.
Growing plants require certain food
elements which must be secured from
the SOIL All plants require the same
ingredients; but the amounts vary In
different plants. The farmer who puts
his land In good shape during the fall
and winter by fertilizing it with ma
nure will raise the big grain crops the
following summer.
Live stock manure contains about
so per cent of the plant food elements
Crossville chronicle. [volume] (Crossville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1915-03-17

contained in the food eaten by the
stock. This food was taken from the
soil; so 1t is only reasonable that II 1t
Is not returned in some form the soil
will become depleted. Barnyard ma
nure is mixed with bedding, which
contains the plant food elements taken
from the ground that produced its
growth. Naturally this combination is
not as strong in fertilizing elements
as pure manure; but 1t has immense
value as fertilizer. The bedding abb
serbs the liquids, which would other
wise be loss. The organic portion of
load of manure Is Just as valuable
for fertilizing purposes as the nitro
gen, potash, acid, ETC., Confined in
the manure. Before the organic DOR.
ton is of value as fertilizer 1t must
pass through process of rotting.
This process turns it into humus-one
of the elements in which many soils
are most lacking.
