Much Ribbon on Millinery

In spite Of the fact that SO many
flowers were seen in the first straw
hats worn in the late winter, both in
Paris and in this country, ribbon is
taking a more and more important
place in the seasons millinery trim
ming.
Many of the new hats are almost en-
tirely covered with ribbon. Stiff rib
bon is laced and used to cover crown
and brim, ribbon about an inch wide.
Sometimes the crown is covered
with bands of ribbon, all crossing at
the center. The stiff, twilled ribbon is
used for this purpose, too.
Then there arc the bands of ribbon
with tailored bow at the side, some.
times forming the only trimming of
sailor shapes, sometimes used in COM
bination with feather fancy at one
side.
A charming hat is of black straw,
with small bow knots of very mar
row picot'edged electric blue ribbon
fastened fiat against the crown, all
around it. The ends Of the bows hang
on the brim.
Pastel colors in ribbons are used
for hats to wear with thin summer
frocks. They are sometimes made into
big wired bows which perch jauntily
at the back or side of the hat, some
times narrow ribbons are used.
Narrow ribbon is run through
buckles, too, which adds to it's trim
ming quality. Small bone buckles,
sometimes metal buckles, are used.

Frivolous Capes

The neat, but inconsequential little
shoulder cape has now become an ar
ticle Of clothing by itself. It is black
or dark blue, and occasionally of
brighter color. Three deep ruffles of
taffeta, which bring it just over the
shoulder, are it's usual mode Of being,
but many variations are exhibited.
Sometimes the ruf1les and outstanding
ruffle If collar are divided at the
back, and in one case the little cape
is made with diminutive sleeves, also
finished with ruffle. The high, far
ing collar of one cape is made with a
narrow, pointed yoke, and the frills,

PREPARING THE GARDEN SOIL
Of Far More Importance Than Most
Gardeners Realize-Soil Must Be
Broken Early.

The preparation of the garden soil
Is of far more Importance than most
gardeners realize. The vegetables
must have a deep, mellow, friable soil
to hold moisture and promote the life
and development Of soil organisms so
important to the fertile soil.
The soil should be broken early and
vegetation incorporated in time for it
to decay. A large per cent of vege-
table matter usually in it's final state
Of decomposition called humus is nee
essary. It may then be necessary
to rebreak, harrow and cross
harrow in order that deep mulch may
be had.
Barnyard manure is highly desir-
able where the soil is rather thin or
close. The manure supplies both hu-
mus and plant food and for that rea-
son is economical. It is waste prod
uct at the barn, but valuable to the
gardener.

CHARM IN MOBILE MOUTH

quently retain an expression of youth
never found in those who have not
frequently exercised the lips in these
ways.
To encourage upward trend of the
mouth we must begin at the founda.
ton of beauty, character. We must
encourage beautiful, kind and pure
thoughts. We must think of the sweet,
joyful things in life, not of the dis
couraging, wicked ones. The next
step toward developing beautiful
mouth is a full set of teeth in per.
feet condition.
There are several exercises which
keep the lips mobile and flexible.
Whistling is good, if not overdone.
Blowing out a candle or an imaginary
candle light is also good. But best
of all is to toss a feathery dandelion
into the air and blow it about, laugh
ing at the sport which is derived from
this, or blow soap bubbles. Blowing
them about the room is a good lin
exercise.
Do not bring the lips tightly togeth-
or. That spoils the mouth, adds lines
and wrinkles, and makes the face old.
Always let the lips fall lightly to.

DESIGNERS HAVE SENT OVER
MANY PRETTY THINGS.
New Coats Have Touches That Give
Them Oistinction-Soft BroadcIoth
May Be Brought Back
Into Fashion.

The new coats which have arrived
mere seem to indicate that number
Of the designers have taken up the
idea OF fastening the coat at the col
larbone and at the waist line. When
the coat is single-breasted the blouse
usually shows through the opening,
which naturally occurs between the
two widely spaced buttons. If wom-
an does not like this, however, it is
better to give enough width to the
under front piece to hide the blouse.
Although there are high, rolling
collars at the back Of many of the
new jackets, there are also revers that
run down to the chest and sometimes
further.
Here and there one sees in the new
gowns some remarkably lovely mate
rails which we will not be able to
duplicate i'll this country. Barring
these, there is lack of new materials,
and it is probable that this season
our dressmakers will not encounter
one of their most serious obstacles in
copying French models, which is the
inability to secure enough of the ma
terial in the original gown.
This is the reason that your Dress
maker may have persuaded you in
the past to have your French model
copied in another color and fabric;
you were not aware that she could not
get the original material in this coun-
try and that she had not ordered
enough Of it from France to satisfy
the demands of her patrons.
Serge, gaberdine and all manner of
silk supply the needs of the Dress
making world this spring, but Jenny,
Bernard and other houses may bring
soft broadcloth back into fashion
through their sponsorship of it. One
does not usually think of broadcloth

else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessress and all
sorts Of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
blned with lithia, and is harmless to
hush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid

A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be-
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble

time TO RIGHT-UP DISORDER
Considerable Leisure During Winter
When Repairs and Improvements
Can Be Made on Farm.

The winter season, instead of be-
ing one of disorder on the farm,
should be devoted to righting-up the
disorder that is acquired through the
more active seasons of labor and
work.
There is considerable leisure time
through the winter that can be used
in repairs, adding new fixtures and
improvements.

Black Lingerie

While black corsets are not so un-
usual as to cause one to exclaim, the
fact that there is a demand for whole
sets Of lingerie in black is astonishing
1t is said that anything in the lingerie
line can be now had in this somber
hue, and when it is considered that
many OF the modish frocks are Of
transparent material, it seems reason
able, at least, that the brassiere and
the corset, too, for that matter, should
be fashioned of black material.
