ENAMEL THE BUREAU DRAWER
Much Cleaner Than the Employment of Linings and Pads and Far
 More Dainty.

Much is gained if, instead of making Things or pads for the bureau draw CTS, the drawers themselves are made dainty and ready for the receptacles of articles.
 First give the inside as many coats of white I.aint as Is necessary to give a clear white tone, and then a coat of white enamel. This gives a perfectly smooth surface, which is fresher than any other lining could be.
 The drawers look neat and attrac- tive, and when cleaning is desired a simple wiping with a damp cloth pro duces perfect cleanliness.
 The same idea could be carried out with all shelves, cupboards and draw CTS in the house. whether for linen, china or kitchen utensils. They are more easily cared for than when ar ranged with other covers. This proc ess makes a good substitute for the highly recommended glass shelves.

LEADS ALL IN CARPET MAKING
In Volume of Production Philadelphia Is Easily the First City in
 the World.

More than a third of all American carpets are woven in Philadelphia, which, it is claimed, leads any other city in the world in the volume of pro- duction. Wilton, in England, has given it's name to one of the most widely known and useful rugs in the world, but now the Wilton rug produc- ing center of the world is in Phila- delphia. Administer, too, gave it's name to carpet, but it long ago ceased to produce any of it. Brussels like wise is known all over the earth for it's carpets, but Brussels does not be- gin to produc3 the carpets and rugs which are turned out in Philadelphia. Philadelphia enterprise embarked in the carpet business while Washing ton was president of the United States, but it was not until more than half a century later that Penn sylvania led all the states in carpet production. As early as 1791 there was factory in Philadelphia engaged in the manufacture of Administer and Turkey carpets. China and Russia send to Philadelphia most of the long, coarse wool used in the manufacture of the finest Wiltons.

WATER FOR STOCK IN WINTER
As Essential as Food in Winterins Breeding Animals During Cold
 Weather-Provlde for Supply.

Good water is as essential as food in the wintering of breeding animals and ample provision should be made to provide the animals with an abun- dant supply of good, pure water throughout the winter. Other things can possibly be dispensed with, but pure water is indispensable.
 Nor will we wonder when We know that onehalf the live weight of all domestic animals Is water, and that water is the universal solvent the me dium by which organic and inorganic substances that nourish the system, are made available.

Makes Demand for Curves

The return of the distinctively marked waist was inevitable when once redingotes had been accepted by the average woman.
 The redingote, like the Louis XIV coat, is close fitting at bust and waist It Is so shaped that it molds the fig ure, and it does not look smart or at tractive unless strongly marked curves are in evidence.
 A redingote demands a rounded bust and moderately rounded hips; the same may be said of Louis XIV coats And these are the two most popular outer garments of the present season.
 A beautiful little Louis XIV coat which illustrates what has just been said was seen a short while ago. It was of stone gray material, and the lining was a rich chintz silk which showed deep orange and black flowers on an ivory ground.
 The big buttons were in mother of pearl. They were "knobby," like all the mother of pearl buttons of the present hour. The basque of the coat was very full at the hem, but at the waist the little garment was quite tight.
 Immense patch pockets appeared on either side, and there were deep re- vers adorned with pearl buttons. This

HIP DRAPERY PUZZLES

ed by the growing acceptance of pan niers and farthingales, and gathers and plaits over the hips.
 There is really not so much cause for anxiety as there seems to be on the surface. The American type that is, the woman with the broad shoulders, long waistline and fiattened hips need not worry about anything in fashions; her slim hips solve all problems, for after all, the great bat tie of fashions during the centuries has been a question of whether or not you bulge out below the waist.
 However, every woman cannot hold herself up as the American type. She has all the curves that she is heir to, and diet, mental science and dancing cannot always reduce the curve that for generations was considered wom- ans chief beauty and is now consid- cred her chief handicap.
 The reason that the women with curves need not worry about this in. coming fashion for hip draperies which is firmly established already, is that the dressmakers have enough skill at their fingers ends to make the fashion becoming to them.
 Naturally, when the hips are ex- tended, the jackets are short; and in the spring of 1916, their very short ness will be used as a way of dis tending the hip line. Not one of them hangs straight down to the waist; they are all fluted out to give the ap- pearance of ruffs-a trick which al lows the skirt drapery to expand, as it is meant to do.
 Here is another important feature of the majority of the new coats; they hang open in front in order to show a great splash of barbaric color, placed beneath the front of the blouse at the waist line.
 When separate blouses are worn not wash ones, but ornate ones-this effect is obtained through a wide belt that has this brilliant ornamentation in front. It is difficult to say whether this work Is Asiatic, American, Indian or Russian. It is usually made of glass beads in barbaric colors with splashes of Chinese embroidery Some. times the entire ornament is Chinese. Some of these belts might have been worn by Genghis Khan.

The Eeotist.

It is only a narrow mind which re- fuses to listen to reasonable argu- ment. The broad mind is always open to conviction. This is a well-known fact, and yet every one of us numbers among his acquaintances at least half a dozen "cocksure" persons. This trait of being too positive is sufficient ly unpleasant in a man, but it is inf nitely worse in girl. In the first place, it is incompatible with the gen tleness of real femininity; in the sec ond, it is irritating and annoying to friends and acquaintances, and in the third, it is an indication of a narrow mind, which should in itself be sufi- cient to keep any girl from cultivat- ing this trait.-EXchaLge

History Of the Poster.

The poster, now on view at the Whitechapel art gallery, carries us back to hygone London by it's name alone, For it gained that name by being originally stuck to the posts which protected foot passengers in the streets in the days before raised sidewalks appeared. The modern ar tistic poster began in France about 1886, Lalance being the artist to turn his skill to advertisement work His posters, however, were only in black and white, and it was another thirty years before the eolored poster came into vogue with the work of Jules Cheret.-London Chronicle.

 Beef making offers a welcome sub- stitute to many dairy farmers who, because of unfavorable conditions, have been unable to make the milk check equal the expenses.
 Less outlay is required for barn room, equipment and maintenance Labor costs are few and this difficult problem is simplifed
 The raising of beef cattle appeals particularly to the farm owner who because of other interests is unable to give it his personal daily and con- stant attention and the farm mana ger question is, therefore, more cas- fly solved.

FIELD OF PEAS LOGGED OFF
Average of S25.53 Per Acre Obtained by Idaho Experimental Station
 In Feeding Swine.

Valuing pork at s6 par cwt., a field of peas 'hogged off, at the Idaho ex- perimental farm returned $10S.15 worth of pork, an average of $25.53 per acre or s2.19 per 100 pounds of the peas.
 Results like this indicate that farm CTS in those sections where peas nat urally do well. need not depend upon corn entirely for their swine feeding operations.

Two poles six or seven feet in length are necessary for the uprights. Clothes poles will do nicely, and likely you can borrow pair, as they are not to be damaged in the least, and can be slipped out of their bases In an instant, for use on washday. Two small boxes are needed for the bases.

NAVAL MILITIA
DECIDES DATES
FOR ITS CRUISE

At a meeting Of the Naval Militia Of
Hawaii last night at the bungalow in
the capitol grounds. a definite date
was decided on for the 15-day practise
cruise Of the organization aboard the
U. S. first-class cruiser st. Louis.
Officers of the organization today
declined to give out the exact date
until they hear from Lieut.-Comdr
Victor S. Houston, commanding Off
Ger of the ST. Louis, to whom the ten
tative plan arranged last night has
been submitted for approval.
The acknowledgements is said
to have told the Naval Militia to Sc
lect any date, providing it will enable
the cruiser to return to Pearl Harbor
on or before October l, when the St.
Louis will start a program of work in
connection with third submarine d.
vision activities.
AS stated yesterday by the Star
Bulletin, the naval militiamen will
leave here some time in September,
cruising around the islands of the Ha-
waiian group, returning to pick up
those Inilitiamen entered in the Re
gatta Day events September 16, then
resuming the cruise. II Is considered
probable that most of the cruise will
be around the islands of this group,
although it is possible the cruiser
may steam to Tanning or Palmyra,
provided there is sufficient time avail
able after the regatta contestants are
picked up here following the races.

RELIEF COMING
FOR OVERWORKED
ARMY MEDIC0S

Letters received in the mail Tues
day by Hawaiian Department officers,
from friends in Washington. state that
the writer's had Eeen told in Washing
ton that a number Of Army Medical
Corps officers are to be sent here at
once to relieve those who recently left
Oahu under War Department orders
for service on the border.
There are about 10 more medical
officers needed 10y the Hawaiian De-
partment at present, as the force is
shorthanded and handicapped by the
loss of so many men ordered to the
border.
The new medical officers are ex-
pected to arrive on the next transport
from the mainland, about September
13. No official advices as to who are
coming here have yet been received at
department headquarters.
