not been solved. The original claim

Splendid Chicken Trio.

How many eggs does the ordinary
hen lay in a year? What is the
highest yield that it is possible to
obtain by choosing only the best
birds and feeding them with the
greatest care?
To these questions no very definite
answer can be given, though much
light has been thrown on the subject
in the past few years. Individual rec
ords have been made under the super
vision Of the agricultural colleges and
laying competitions have been insti-
tuted in several of the states, in which
pens of five or ten birds have been
pitted against one another. From
the results it is possible to draw a
few conclusions.
With poultry, as with other live
stock, the amateur is always asking
which is the best breed. 1t was a
dispute between the admirers of two
breeds that started the first laying
contest in Australia Is years ago. An
Australian poultryman who kept Buff
Orpingtons was positive that his hens
were better egg producers than the

BIG EATERS HAVE BAD
KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE
Take Glass Of Salts at Once If Your
Back Is Hurting or Kidneys and
Bladder Trouble You.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filed
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps
Of lead; your back hurts or the urine
Is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces Of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so
1t no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.

SELECT TREES WITH CARE
the One Who Is Planning a
Real Home.

Now that the process of tree NOV
ing is so successful, it is a simple
matter to annex and preserve as ones
own specimens of the numerous beau
tiful trees which the countryside
dweller is apt to run across in his
woodland rambles.
Do not make the mistake, however,
of thinking that any kind of tree
can be planted in any place; selec-
tions need to be made with intelli-
gence and due regard to drainage and
soil.
The cver-changing beauty of the
mountain maple makes it an unusu-
ally satisfactory tree for ornamental
planting. The branches in winter are
beautiful in coloring, as in spring are
the buds and blossoms, followed in
summer by the developing fruits.
The wild plum tree, too, has possi-
bilities which too many people fail to
recognize. The blossoms of this tree
are the nearest we get to the cherry
blossom display Of the Japanese, and
although their beauty endures for only
a brief season, the trees are especially
desirable when planted along rocker
les or along walls.

hoonskirts Established.

Hoopskirts and bustles have estab-
lished themselves in winter favor, but
both contine themselves to picturesque
adaptations Of genuine hoopskirt and
hustle fashions instituted years ago.
The hoop is as likely to be located
around the knees, or even the hips, as
at the skirts hem, and the hustle is
usually very inconspicuous arrange
ment of crinoline, affording support to
hip draperies. Bustles over the. hips,
indeed, are more often seen than the
old-style bouffant effect at the back.
The latest development of the hoop
skirt idea is shown in a handsome fur
coat. flaring well at the knees and held
out from the figure by a stiffening of
wire, hidden beneath the skunk-fur
border.

HEAVY Rrocades.

Brocades, indeed all materials. have,
strangely enough, a stiffness not so
suggestive of youth as the frocks of
which they are fashioned. Fabrics.

RICH COLORS POPULAR
SU5DUED TONES HAVE NO PLACE
IN PRESENT FASHIONS.
Modes Show a Return to the Styles
and Tints Of the Eighteenth Gen.
tury-French Modistes Have
Fostered Idea.

Despite the fact of black Spanish
gowns, there is no cessation to the
demand for bright colors. In the frst
season, when there has been an al
legged lack of dyes, women in mass
look like kaleidoscopes. Their gowns
fairly blaze in color, as they did dur
ing the Renaissance. This is more par
ticularly true of gowns for the eve
ming than those for the street, thanks
to the good taste of our women. In
outdoor clothes, even when we choose
red and green, we choose dark shades
Burgundy red and Robin Hood green
are the fashionable tones.
There is also a soft leather tone
in duvetyn that looks like suede,
which has crept in among the other
street ones and which is very much
liked; it is especially effective in top
coats that are worn over black and
dark blue gowns, and it lends itself
easily to skunk for collar and cuffs.
In the evening, however, the picture
changes. Not only are gorgeous colors
indulged in, but they are loaded down
with gold and silver lace in the Vene-
tian manner. Certain women have al
ready taken up the idea of getting
their house gowns from Venice, and
the wearing Of these is not out of
keeping with the whole picture of eve
ming clothes.
Not only color, but a great deal of
metal tissue is incorporated in clothes.
DOucet has sent over a vastly expen-
siVe but very lovely evening frock
made Of silver tissue, which is en-
broidered in crystal flowers, in the in
tricate workmanship of the eighteenth
century.
Cheruit has introduced the idea Of
making loose bodices of silver tissue
over short skirts of rich velvets, and
another quite lovely evening gown is
of blue and gold net over a skirt of
gold tissues. One of the best gowns
worn at the opera was of bright green
velvet and lace over a petticoat of sill
yer lace, which was mounted on silver
tissue. The gown was trimmed with
WA0O OduuS VI Ou6TdlUS ana El1Q0-
stones worked on silver net. An effec-
tive frock worn at one of the smart
dances was of thin silver tissue, with
a short skirt bordered with Koiinsky,
the bodice Of silver tissue mounted
over fresh pink tulle, the long, flow
ing Italian sleeves of tulle edged with
KOlinsky, the white belt of black and
white crystals. Beneath the short
skirts were square pantalettes of sill
YER lace and the slippers of silver It's
sue had oblOng buckles of Jet and
crystal.
Yet. in contrast to these gorgeous
cOlors the new frocks are in blue and
pink, the Watteau shades. Worth
sends over pale rose brocaded satin
gown trimmed with rhinestones, which
is lightened by tulle; the price paid
for it was nearly $1.1OO, and the only
reason that one is not rebellious over
such price is that the money goes to
French orphans.

GOOD APARTMENTS, LOW RENT
Experiment Undertaken at Der
Moines, Ia, Asserted to Be
Complete Success.

A practical demonstration to prove
that individual apartments with mod
ern plumbing, sanitary conveniences,
and absolute privacy for each family,
can be built to rent for from So to
$3.50 per month and yet yield rea-
sonable profit to the builder, was made
a short time ago at Des Moines, Ia
The Octavia Hill association, which
has already won renown in solving
housing problems, has worked out the
plan to the smallest detail and is
building the model houses. Forty-five
families were provided for in the first
block now under construction.
The houses, which are of red brick,
are simply finished with sufficient
trimming to keep them from being Sc
verely plain. One important feature
of the property is the provision for
the children. About 5000 square feet
of ground in the center of the block
will be used for a playground. The
rent collectors are trained society
workers and will volunteer to start
the playground activities.
The investment will reach nearly
$60, 900, which is represented by cap
ital stock and mortgage which pays
"A per cent a year. The investment
will yield a gross income of 1919 per
cent per year, after deducting taxes,
insurance, water rents, cost of collec-
ton of rents, social work, deprecia-
tion, ETC., of 81 per cent.
The Des Moines venture is a test
case to prove that the unsanitary and
bad housing conditions which prevail
for the low-salaried workingmen are
criminally unnecessary. 1t is voic-
ing an unanswerable protest against
the crowded tenement, the dilapidated
and unsanitary house which is virtu-
ally the only kind offered to the man
who must pay less than SIS month
rental.
The association now owns or man
ages 353 dwellings, housing $500 peo-
pie, and has never failed to pay four
per cent a year to its stockholders.

GREEN FEED VERY ESSENTIAL
Hens Relish Turnips, seets, Maneels'
Ete.-Sprouted Oats Probably
Best for Winter.

Are you giving the layers as much
grain feed as they want? If not, bet
ter see to it. Hens consume large
quantities of grass and when shut
up they miss this food.
Turnips, beets, mangels, rutabagas,
carrots and the like are relished, by
the fowls. Cabbage is too. Sprouted
oats is, perhaps, the best green feed,
as in it the hens get both the green
sprouts and the grain.
Some kind of green ration is neces-
,sary, however, if the hens are ex-
pected to lay properly during the
