Every woman wants to be stylishly
dressed, and every woman # re-
fined taste loves the small luxuries of
apparel which belong to womankind
alone. And the knack of using the lit
tie accessories of dress that are
brought out for each season Is the
stamp of good judgment. They are
the things that seize the attention and
please the eye and provide that va.
riety which is the spice of life, from
day to day.
The clothing of the neck has come
in for much extra ..ttention this sea-
son. For wear in the house, collars of
organdie. lace, net and other of the
sheerest materials are used together
with pretty ornaments of ribbon.
Fancy ribbon bands. bordered with fur
on each edge, and similar bands of
chenille. in two colors, are the very
latest arrivals. They are made with
cuffs or wristlets to match, and are fin.
ished off with small sprays of mil
linery GOwers.
The vogue of wristlets, like that of
muflers, is a revival of an old fashion,
but both have been modernized.. A
comparison of the old and the new
shows the present tendency toward
dainty finishing and decoration and a
taste for the luxurious.
A group showing three pieces of
neckwear is given above. They are
of familiar and conservative design,
in organdie and lace, such as may be
found in any dry goods store. They
are among the least expensive and
most acceptable of holiday gifts, and
are easily made at home. Although

VARIETY OF FEED FOR cows
Alfalfa Hay and Ground Corn Should
Be Supplemented With succulent
Feed of Some Kind.

Cows will do very well when fed
nothing but alfalfa hay and ground
corn. 1t is better of course, to have
these feeds supplemented with some
succulent feed like roots or silage or
pasture.
It.is we'll to take a small portion OF
the alfalfa hay, chop 1t fine, moisten
1t from twelve to twenty-four hours
before feeding, and then mix it with
the corn chop. This way. the corn
becomes lightened and the moistening
of the crop and alfalfa hay adds
little variety to the ration.
Cottonseed meal may be fed at the
rate of one pound to each animal, but
it is not necessary, as the alfalfa hay
will furnish all the protein the cow
needs. Oil meal would be a better
feed to use, If 1t could be purchased
at the same or even at a little higher
price. Oil meal is splendid feed
to use when animals are receiving no
succulence.-Hoard's Dairyman.

WATCH YOUR TABLE LINEN
II Its Freshness Is to Be Retained
Proper Care Will Be Found
Imperative.

Good table linen. in the first place,
means much. But care of the same
linen means more. Especially in the
laundry must your table linen be prop.
erly handled If you would have 1t
retain it's freshness.
Strong bleaches must never be used
on fine table linen. or course, table
linen is often badly spotted and needs
to be cleaned in some way. But boil.
ing water removes coffee spots, cold
water removes cocoa spots, and sun.
shine removes many stains. When
stronger agents must be used, they
should be applied and removed by in
telligent hands.
They should be allowed to remain
on the spots just long enough to eradi-
cate them, and then rinsed thoroughly
out with clear water. For if they re-
spots, but pieces of linen.
Some old-fashioned housewives occa.
sionally have their table iinen dipped
in buttermilk to whiten it. The linen
is allowed to remain in the buttermilk
for day or two, If necessary, and is
then thoroughly rinsed in cool, clear
water, later in warmer water.
For fruit stains, pour boiling water
through them while the stains are
damp, If possible. II they dry on, rub
them with lard and put through the
usual washing process.
Always dry table linen out-of-doors,
in the sunshine. If possible, have a
little bleaching green.
Table linen must be quite damp
when it is ironed, ~and 1t must be
ironed until it is perfectly dry. Nap
kins should be ironed on both sides,
and a tablecloth should be ironed in
the same way, to give it the best finish
and appearance.

that after he had been with us week

replied: have not had headache
since I left off drinking coffee, some
months ago, till last week, when l be-
gan again here at your table. don't
see how anyone can like coffee, any
way, after drinking Postum!'
Il said nothing, but at once ordered
a package of Postum. That was five

coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company, and the result
each time was that my husband could

rious chemical changes, giving rise to
products of special taste and aroma.
1t makes a great difference what spe-
cies Of bacteria the cream contains at
the outset. One class produces the
flavor Of high-grade butter, while a
second class does not affect the flavor.
The bacteria present in greatest
number are those of the first class.
The correct temperature of ripening,
not far from 60 degrees, favors the
growth of this class, and results are
generally satisfactory.
Butter made in winter is almost al
ways inferior to that made in June.

The difference in flavor is largely due
to the ripening and the presence Of
different bacteria.
The use of starter" to inoculate
cream with the proper bacteria gives
more uniform results. This is made
by growing the right kind of bacteria
in sterilized milk, or simply by taking
a lot of milk from the cleanest dairy
that can be found, keeping it in ster-
ilized vessels and allowing it to sour
naturally. The practical results Of

Judge Lane states that during the past week he has been extremely gratified by the number of per- sons who nave voluntarily offered their ton. and said that the prospects for his reelection never looked brighter than at the present time.
 Judge Lane stated that he stood square ly on his record as mayor, citizen, as judge and as commissioner and that on his official record he expected to make the race. He says he does not claim perfection but that in every line of en- deavor to which he has been called he has given the people the best there was in him. and points with pride to the fact that in his long years of service, his honor, honesty, integrity and sin cerity had never been assailed.
 He states that so far as the duties of his office will permit he will make an active campaign for reelection and that he believes that his past and present record and service will be 'ndorsed by the citizens of Birmingham by an over whelming majority at the polls over the estimabe gentlemen who are ambitious to succeed him. He states he will make his announcement as soon as the several petitions for his reelection are turned in.

EXAMPLE OF WORK IN ADVANCED CASES
Dr. George Eayes Writes of Interest,"
 ing Example of Out Patient Work With Tuberculosis

To the Editor of The Age Herald;
 most interesting example of the out-patient work of the tuberculosis dispensary has arisen this week. In April the nurse found a negro woman in Bessemer who appeared to be suf- fering from tuberculosis. She urged that she come to the dispensary and impressed upon her the possibility of ner either getting better or else in- focting others. The patient proved to be well worth while
 She came to the dispensary day or two later and was found to be in an advanced condition of the disease a considerable cavity having formed in one lung.
 The amazing thing is that since that date, Aprail 2S. she has made marked improvement, carrying out most obe- diently the nurses instructions and abstaining from patent medicines. She lives on an open-air porch, Is not ex <. pectorating, her temperature and pulse nave gone to normal and she has gained about eight pounds and looks well.
 Special mention is made of this case because it carries the vital message to other sick people of the negro race as we'll as those of the white race It used to be said that advanced tuber- culosis in the negro could not be checked. but instances of this sort are proving the necessity of revising this opinion. The case is all the more re- markable because the woman is nearly 40 years of age The first diagnosis was made by one of the most experi- enced physicians in the city. It should be added that prior to the nurses meet ing with this case. the physician whom the woman had consulted had told her sine was suffering from malaria. The moral is: Learn the facts, and if you have signs of tuberculosis, take the right steps to check it.

 culosis Association.
