That he had practically dominated
the life of Miss Edith Knox. named
correspondent in the sensational Ern-
est hearing, for the last three or four
years, was the statement which Mrs.
Elvenor Ann Ernest testified the
witness stand, that her husband made
to her shortly before he left home.
Testifying to the allegations set
forth in her petition for separate
maintenance, Mrs. Ernest reached the
climax of her testimony when she
made the statement, to the question
of w. A. S. Bird, her attorney.
Mrs. Ernest had just finished a dra-
matte recitation of an alleged incident
in the doctors office wherein she
claimed that she surprised Miss Knox
and the doctor in the latter'S office
and the doctor forcibly elected her
(NIrs. Ernes) from the room.
Attorney Bird: What statement
did DIR. Ernest once make to you about
his relations with Miss Knox"
Mrs. Ernest: He said he had dom
mated the girls life for the last three
or four years.
The plaintiffs attorneys did not at
tempt to show how Ernest was alleged
to have dominated the girls life.
Clad Hamilton took the witness
for cross examination.
Did you, emitting Miss Knox, ever
have any disagreements with DR..
Ernest about other women?"
No. but there were times when he
was very unconventional in the pres
ence of women"
Mrs. Ernest denied that she criti-
cised her husband in a petty and Of

There are plenty of dairymen who
object to having hay stored over the
dairy cows, because of the dust that
floats everywhere through the stable
when the hay is transferred from the

Because the storage barn is placed
at one end of the COW stable. the silo
is built at the side because at least
one end of the stable should have
free connection with the open barn

While this arrangement is some
what unusual. there is really no OBJ

THE KITCHEN PORCH

The incest porch is enclosed with
wire screen, thus shutting out flies
and mosquitoes. If the kitchen is also
a dining room, the wide porch thus
enclosed is doubly available, giving
a cool place to eat, secure from rain
or unpleasant insect visitors. 1t is
still another great improvement over
the lawn for eating because more con-
venient to the kitchen, saving the trou-
BILE of going up and down stairs.
A rocking chair and high stool en-
able one to work at the table while
seated and are essentials to comfort.
It is much better to keep the washing
in one corner instead of Juggling it up
and down cellar every wash day. This
can be concealed from sight by a
cheaply constructed screen.
Shade will be needed during a por-
ton of the day. The Virginia creep
er, readily obtained of florist If not
a neighbor, is the most rapid grower
and most beautiful of our native vines.
Morning glory and wild cucumber
furnishes dainty curtain, which must
be renewed from year to year, though
the latter renews without work on our
part through self-sown seed.
The clematis in several varieties,
native and exotic are favorites.
With vines for shade the housewife
may have more enjoyable spot in
which to do the drudgery.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younserl Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody viii Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as 1t does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
. sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at q time; by morn

after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick

Errors in Shorthand.

A young friend of mine is engaged
in the study of Pitman's shorthand
(writes correspondent, and has just
told me of a tragic occurrence which
befell him at an examination. He felt
that he had taken down the dictation
all right but when he came to tran
scribe the shorthand into "long hand"
he came to one curved outline which
entirely baffled him 1t seemed to be
the form for either fish" or perhaps
efficiency" but either word was en-
tirely superhuous to the sentence in
which 1t was found. He left blank
in his transcript and went on to write
the rest of the exercise, and time was
nearly up when he returned to the
troublesome outline. AS he gave a
hopeless sigh, gazing sadly at the out
line, it suddenly slid away along the
paper Terror took possession Of him.
He thought his mind must be going.
But it was only the outline. His sigh
really had solved the problem. The

For the same reason especial atten-

The interior of dairy stables is
made air tight as nearly as possible.
The supply of fresh air is regulated
by intake flues and the foul air is
carried off by t1ues which connect with
the roof.
There is sanitary dairy room with
concrete floor just outside of the
stable. 1t is built of two by four stud
ding, above the concrete floor, and is
covered with building paper both in
side and outside. Clapboards cover the
outside and the inside is ceiled with
plain matched ceiling without beading.
There is no direct connection between
the stable and the dairy room. This
is arranged especially to prevent sta

has a general.purpose floor that may

The COW stable, however, Is intend
ed for the production OF large quanti-
ties OF pure milk so that no other
business can be tolerated inside OF
this modern dairy stable.
Outside of the main stable is a
corn crib 80 by 10 feet The inside
and ends of the crib are made as
open to the atmosphere as possible
by using open work metal sides. Il
is n little cheaper TO build a crib in
this way, because there is a saving in
material There must be an air space
between the corn and the solid board
ing OF the barn This space may be
secured by placing the open metal
siding on Turing strips TO hold the
corn away from the solid boarding OF
the barn.
The foundation OF the corn crib is
concrete, which is the only satisiac-
tory material for the foundation OF
