PRETTY CARD-TABLE COVER
Best Way to Make and EmbroideF
Them-Always Use the Finest
Colors and Materials.

The best card-table cover is made Of
a big square of linen, several inches
larger than the table, with the corners
cut off. Then eight tapes are sewed
firmly to the eight corners made when
the four original ones are cut off, and
the cover can be neatly tied in place.
leaving the four points of the table
bare. This shape is more neatly and
easily adjusted than the full square.
which usually is awkwardly arranged
at the corners of the table
Linen of a rather coarse, heavy
weave, in oyster white. cream or ecru
is a good choice for the cover. Col
ored line, too, can be used
Sometimes these covers are made
In sets, and a very attractive set is
made with one cover showing a 1-spot
of some suit embroidered in one cor
ner, the second cover showing a @
spot. the third 3-spot, and so on, the
set to include as many covers as one
wishes to make. These covers indi-
cate the number of the tables when
a large number of persons are play.
ing. Anybody can see that this is a
far more convenient way of indicat-
ing the table numbers than the usual
one of turning a card up on each
table; for. just when one most wishes
to know where table three is. the card
indicating its location is sure to have
been disturbed. These symbols can
be outlined or embroidered in cross
itch.
Still another way of marking GOV.
ers to show the different numbers ol
the tables is to embroider one bird on
the corner of one cover, two on anoth
er, and so on. Bluebirds embroidered
on gray linen make a charming dis
play.

FINDING QUALITY OF BUTTER
Principal Factors to Be Considered
Are Flavor, Texture, Salt and
Appearance Of Package.

The principal factors that are con-
sidered in determining the quality Of
butter are:
Flavor, texture, color, salt, general
appearance of package.
To few people all butter is very
much alike. To the cultivated taste
and the experienced judge there are
great many fiavors found in butter,
prominent among which are the fol
lowing: Flat, rancid, cheesy. weedy,
acid and stable flavors.
Churning the unripened cream pro-
duces the fiat flavor; age has the ten
dency to produce rancid flavor; un-
salted butter develops cheesy flavor;
the cause of the weedy flavor is OBJ
vious, the remedy for which is to ex-
terminate the Objectionable weeds
from the pasture and feed silage, kale,
turnips and the like only Immediately
after milking. Overripened cream
that has been held at too low tenn
perature is found to produce the acid
or bitter flavor; milking from unclean
udders and in filthy and unsanitary
stables are the chief sources Of what
is known as the stable flavor in butter.

equally suitable, and it is lined with
sateen or silk and bound at the edges

The diagram on the right of the IL
lustration shows the shape in which
the material should be cut out, and the
portions marked G and D are folded
over at the points indicated by the
dotted lines and sewed down at the
sides so that they form two bags or
pockets; the upper one being rather
larger than the lower one. The dia-
gram marked A and B shows this ac-
complished and the needlework is
placed in the pocket marked B which
folds into the bag marked A in the
same manner that a tobacco pouch is
folded together.
In the edge Of the upper pocket two
buttonholes are made and buttons
sewed on at the back of the lower
pocket in corresponding positions, so
that when the work bag is folded to-
gether it can be securely fastened up
in the manner shown in diagram E.

WORST FOE TO GOOD HEALTH
Constipation Is Starting Point Of Many
Serious Ailments That Affect
Dairy Cattle.
By G. W. BARNES, Live Stock Special
ist. Arizona Experiment Station)

By G. w. BARNES, Live Stock Special
list, Arizona Experiment Station)
Constipation is one Of the worst
foes to good health in cows and to the
pocketbook of the dairyman. 1t Is the
starting point of many serious all
ments that affect dairy cattle. 1t
causes the other organs to be over
taxed to throw off the accumulations
of waste that should pass through the
bowels.
Constipation causes the COW to have
fever which makes such case really
more serious. There is also marked
decrease in the milk flow, and often
this is the first symptom that the farm
er notices. The farmer or attendant
should keep his eyes open and so feed
as to maintain a normal state OF
health. The genuine livestock man
will know his individuals so we'll that
he can tell at once IL a single animal
gets OF feed. The best treatment Is
to remove the cause which gives rise
to it. The main cause is usually from
feeding too long on nothing but dry
bulk foods. Flaxseed or hnseed is a
good laxative. If constipation has
lasted long, repeated small doses OF
purgatives are better than a single
large dose.

HER SIDE OF THE CLOTH
What in Time She Knew Would
Be Hers.

How often it is that the younger Of
advantage, in the matter of what is
done for him, the clothes which he
wears and the attention which he re-
ceives generally. 1t is sometimes pa
thetic, although occurring not so much
from any real difference in the feel
ings Of the parents for the two as
from thoughtlessness and the natural
order of things. The handing down
of clothes from older to younger, for
example, is almost necessary in many
a family, but it is hardship for the
younger one, nevertheless.
One family once had two girls in
exactly this situation, the younger be-
ing just so much behind her sister in
growth and development that it came
perfectly natural that the elders
dresses should fall to her lot in the
course of time. And so 1t happened
that all the new things were the old
ers and the younger always had them
made over for herself
One day the elder was told by her
mother to go downtown and select
some material which she liked for her
graduation dress and bring it home
for approval. Full Of glee, the girl
started to go, when the younger spoke
up in all seriousness: Don't you
think l ought to go with her, nam
ma" said she, ito see If l like the
other side?"
1t set the mother to thinking, and
after that the younger got some new
things Of her very own.-Rochester

RETAIN CID FAvORITE
WHITE MARouIsETTE IS WITH
US AGAIN THIS SEASON.
For Summer Wear There Are Few
Materials Which Are lts Equal
Excellent Dress Design Shown
In Drawing Herewith.

Our old favorite, white marquisette,
is with US again this season, by vir-
tue Of a superior quality. peculiar to
itself, that fills a need which has not
yet been replaced by anything more
satisfactory. For tub frocks and
dainty lingerie gowns, marquisette
cannot be improved upon. 1t launders
spNendidly, and does not become rough
and thick with washing.
Here is a very good dress design for
white marquisette. prettily trimmed
with narrow plated ruffles of self
material. The deep v, formed by the
surpliced fronts of the blouse, is filed
in with folds of the goods, surpliced
with the blouse. A novel collar is in
serted between the waist and the in
side fold at the shoulders. 1t does
not meet in front, but is held together
with a small tie of black velvet rib
bon, then rises about the sides and
back Of the neck, and is stopped by a
turnover"
The long bishop sleeves are gath
cred into cuff bands that are trimmed
with black velvet ribbon and have a
wrist ruffle below. There is a plat
laid over the outside of either shoul-
der, and the edge of this trimmed with
some of the knife-plaited rufling,
started little above the bust line. A
draped girdle ties in soft bow at
either side of the waist and the ends
are trimmed with plated rufies.
The skirt is in two pieces, a gath
cred top extending to the hips, and
a very deep 1ounce, applied to the
top, with gathers under a cording,
above which rises a plated heading
rufle. The deep seton flounce has its
length broken by four rows of plated

How Shoe Peg Was Invented.

To a Massachusetts man. Joseph
Walker, is due the credit of invent
ing the shoe peg. Previous to the
year 1918 its use had not been known,
and its. inventor gave a new start
to the manufacture Of boots and
shoes.
Shortly after the introduction of this
invention some INSCRIPTIONS parties
are said to have tried to swindle the
unsuspecting by endeavoring to sell
shoe pegs as a new kind Of oats.
Up to 1918 boots and shoes had
been sewed, and the peg, made first
by hand. came in to revolutionize thC
trade. 1t was, however. the custom o.
shoemakers who lived away from th'
manufacturing centers to make theil
own pegs by hand even as late al
1880, but the machine-manufacture'
peg has now superseded them.

In Old Porto Rico.

In the vicinity of Mayaguez, Porto
Rico, are several historically interest
ing places. The little village of Rio
Guanroba, near Anasco, was the scene
of the unique experiment by which the
Indians, in 1911, endeavored to dis
cover whether the Spaniards were i'm
mortal.
After holding a Spanish nobleman
under water six hours they were as
sured that those intruders were Just
as subject to death as themselves.
About seven miles from Mayaguez,
across a rough mountainous country,
is the famous sanctuary of Montserrat
which is visited every year by many
pilgrims.
Situated conspicuously among its
wild surroundings, it's large stone
church is visible for many miles. From
the mountain top we obtained a de
lightful view of the beautiful plair
through which flow the Boqueron and
Guanajoba rivers.
