CLUBS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
Movement Fostered by Department of Agriculture Has Spread to Every
 Section of Country.

One of the most notable movements in agricultural education has been the boys and girls clubs organized in az ricultural communities for the pur- pose of learning to farm by actually farming. Fostered by the department of agriculture and taken up in vari- ous forms by state, county and even private agencies, the movement has spread to almost every section of the country.
 The boys and girls who belong to any of these clubs are building foun- dation for future success in farming which was beyond the dream of the last generation. They are learning to do by doing. They are finding out the fundamental principles of crop production in their young and impres- sionable years, and are learning to work with their heads as we'll as their hands.

BOYS FoREoRDAINED TO FAIL
Youth Who Is Spared All Work by lnduIsent Parents Is on Wrong
 Road to Success in Life.

We can only wonder at the silly way in which some men waste their lives.
 One day it is a man in Cincinnati who enters bank, shooting this way and that, scoops the money into a bag while the employees hide, leaps into a stolen motor car, enacts the robbery again in another bank, and at last, when cornered, kills a police man and is himself killed.
 Enough of adventure, excitement and tragedy to last lifetime crowded into few hours, with murder at the end.
 But what for? The chances of the man getting away were so remote that only a fool would have under taken the job.
 The next day it is Kansas City, Two men rob shopkeeper of dia- monds and money and try to escape by running through crowded streets, silly and futile thing to undertake.
 The end of their folly will be years and years of hard work, hard living, lonesomeness and heartbreaking mo. notony in prison.
 The man who undertakes to live by his wits, to get money without working for it, is foreordained to fail ure. And yet there are always men starting on that road.
 In general they are men who failed in youth to learn the lesson of in- dustry. They got the idea that the end of life was to get on with as little effort as possible. The boys who are spared all work by indulgent parents, who expect everything to be done for them and to do nothing for anybody else, are on the wrong road. They are getting the demoralizing ideas that are responsible for such wrecks as come daily to the criminal court.

Look, Mother! If tongue is coated, give "CaIifornia
 Syrup of Figs"

Children love this fruit laxative" and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
 A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat. sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the sys, tenn, and you have a we'll child again.
 Millions of mothers give California Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and it nev- CT fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels.
 Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv.

SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE. TRY I'll
Keep Your Locks Youthful, Dark, Glossy and Thick With Garden
 Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trouble some. For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use tonic called ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morn ing all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. You will also dis cover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling.
 Gray, faded hair, though no dis grace, is sign of old age, and as we all desire youthful and attractive ap- pearance, get busy at once with Wy eth's Sage and Sulphur and look years younger. Adv.

STRENGTH. Without Overlooking The Stomach.

The business man, especially, needs food in the morning that will not over load the stomach, but give mental wig or for the day.
 Much depends on the start a man gets each day as to how he may ex- pect to accomplish the work on hand.
 He can't be alert with heavy, fried meat-and-potatoes breakfast, requiring a lot of vital energy in digesting it. =
 A Calif business man found food combination for producing energy. He writes:
 For years I was unable to find a breakfast food that had nutrition enough to sustain a business mar without overlooking his stomach, caus ing indigestion and kindred ailments
 Being a very busy and also a very nervous man, had about decided to give up breakfast altogether. But luck. fly I was induced to try Grape-Nuts.

CAN NOT BE MADE TO ORDER
Scientific Discoveries Are Not Manufactured.

There is a widespread but errone. ous belief in official circles, and among wealthy philanthropists," writes Sir Ray Lankester in the London Daily Telegraph, "to the effect that you can hire scientific discoverer and then say to him, Discover me this or Dis cover me that (naming to him a pos sible and greatly desired piece of new knowledge), and that he will there upon proceed right away to make the discovery which you want. But valuable and important scientific dis covery cannot be produced directly in response to orders given and money expended.
 You cannot manufacture scientific discovery like soap. The great diff culty, in the first place, is to catch that rare and evasive creature-a scientific discoverer-and when you have found him you have to humor him and let him do as he fancies Then he will discover things, but probably not the things which either you or he wanted or expected"

MOTOR WHEEL FOR BICYCLE
Power Plant Mounted in Substantial Frame Which Is Carried on Rub-
 ber-Tired Wheel.

The application of gasoline motor to an ordinary bicycle is not new, but it is extremely doubtful if many of the attachments of this nature are of much practical value. As rule the
 attachment involves some more or less serious and expensive change in the frame of the bicycle. The motor wheel illustrated herewith, on the oth- CT hand, is quite departure from the conventional attachments of this na. ture, as it comprises a complete pow CT unit in itself and requires no changes whatever in the frame of the bicycle for it's successful attachment

HH UGH ingenuity is evident in the M shaping and covering of new par asols. The skill of the manufacturer must be equal to making up the most fanciful dreams of those who originate sunshades that look like big, brightly colored flowers, with their cups in- verted. They have seized upon the Persian designs in silks, upon the broad stripes and checks, and appro- priated bold.fgured laces to make the most intricate and the most captivat- ing things!
 One of the simpler designs is shown in the picture. It is rather large and bowlshaped. Its first covering is of white silk. Posed over this is vague 1y lowered overcovering finished with a scallop at the edge in each panel of the parasol. The scallops terminate in a small ornament which, with a portion of the edge, hang free from the undercovering.
 A pretty paraso1, smaller in size and not so deeply curved, is covered with white taffeta. Long diamond-shaped panels of Persian silk in bright colors, with red dominant among them, are shirred so that their edges are narrow ruf1es. One of these is mounted over each rib, their upper points disappear ing under the tip at the top. The low CT point reaches within about five inches of the edge of the white taffeta covering. This is gay and rich-look- ing little affair. suited to almost any light summer costume.
 Plain white parasols with borders of black and white "checkerboard" silks are novel and immensely smart They are not expensive, ranking in price with those made of broad stripes. Among the latter a black and white striped covering has border of bright Persian silk at the edge, about six

Finish for Lingerie.

An exquisite finish for lingerie can be achieved by crochet work, says the Modern Priscilla. Instead of but tonholing neck and sleeves, cut smoothly, following the lines of the pattern. Turn from you with fore finger of left hand, following the method known as rolling or whipping. Over this crochet with fine cotton, white or colored, using four single stitches, and picot of four chain. Set all close together. It is substantial, dainty, producing effect similar to tat ting, and is rapid work.

" ITHOUT any claim to originality

u1 ITHOUT any claim to originality " to aid them these two bou- doir caps unblushingly call attention to themselves as noteworthy. They are examples of what the new laces bring to morning caps in the way of attractiveness and grace. If these laces and nets were less supple, they would not fall in such soft ruff1es, and if they were too sheer they would not make such successful plaitings and hair coverings.
 The cap at the left has a full soft crown of all-over lace and frill of lace about the face which widens to- ward the back, where it covers the neck. It is adjusted to the head by the elastic cord that is run in a casing on the under side where the frill joins the crown. A few little roses of chif- ion, joined by long stems of silk-cov- cred cord, wander aimlessly over the crown.
 The cap at the right is made of fine net, having a broad panel of lace along the center of the crown run ming from front to back. The frill is of plaited net and the cap is adjusted with small elastic cord.
 Narrow satin ribbon is laid in a se- ries of short puffs across the front of the cap, ending at each side in a short pointed end These are the simplest

 Paraso1s of shepherds check, bor- dered with bright-colored bands, are not new in designs, but they are, like the all-white ones, always in styla. They look especially smart with out ing hats and dresses, and will be seen with the Panama hat decorated with sash in the same color as the band on the sunshade. They are among the least costly of all and stand near the head of the list of desirable acces. sories for summer toilets.
