GUIDING THE WOODMAN'S SAW
Work Formerly Requiring Two
Persons-Easy to Adjust.

The saw guide shown herewith is
the invention of a lumber camp man
from the far Northwest, but it will
be found of great value to the anna
teur or professional woodsman of any
part of the country. The big two
man saw" is in more or less frequent
use about any farm or suburban place,
and in bringing down a tree trunk
it would greatly facilitate the task If
it were not for certain limitations.
For instance, it will go through an
ordinary tree trunk much more rap
idly than an ak, but on account of the
upright position Of the tree it is diff
cult to guide the saw through the
wood in making level cut. The serv-
ices of two men are necessary, one
at either end of the saw, which is an
other drawback. This guide, which
has been patented, enables one man
to do the work. The guide not only
assists very materially in holding the

GUARD AGAINST LATE FROSTS
Cheap and Effective Measures Ought
to Be Adopted by Every Farmer
to Protect His Trees.

There are cheap and effective meth
DDS of combating late frosts, so far as
orchards are concerned, and they
ought to be adopted by every farmer.
The smudge fire Is as cheap and re-
liable a means as may be needed, or
one may go to the expense of provid-
ing metal heaters II a profitable crop
is expected.
A half dozen smudge fires for an
acre orchard, or for each acre, will
probably be sufficient. This is merely
a matter of few hours work through
the last two or three frosty nights Of
spring.
When we consider that an acre Of
fruit is worth from 5000 to $500, the
trouble of keeping up few little fires
around the orchard for six or eight
hours seems trifling.

A plain little everyday dress OF
corded madras. designed for wear in
the coming summer, presents little
novelty as to cut but reflects feature
or two of the styles for spring. These
are seen i'm the tightening and lifting
of the belt, in the suggestion or
square opening at the neck and In the
introduction of bit of hemstitching.
Every mother who makes her chill
dren's clothes Is familiar with the ad-
yantages OF this pattern ia which the
short sleeves are cut in one piece with
the garment. Using for 1t the ordinary
fabrics which make up the daily wear
of little folks-chambrays, Bingham,
linen, etc.-it is possible to vary the
dresses by varying the details OF nm
fishing. Combinations of striped and
plain materials. the use of bright but
tons. outline embroidery and the in
PRODUCTION of ornamental stitches In
coarse yarns are much in evidence on
the model dresses already on display.
A variety OF pockets put on in a va
riety OF positions attest to the re-
sourcefulness of designers In their at
tempts to give each dress individu-
ality.

that seams are on the diagonal. A
few skirts are cut with several cores
and the stripes matched in points at
the seams. In spite of the prevalent
fullness many of these skirts are
smooth fitting about the hips, cut on a
circular pattern that gives them am
pie width at the bottom and full rip
pie below the hips.
The skirt shown above is made or
a light weight WOODEN cloth in gray
with white cross bar. The seam down
the front Is cut on the diagonal with
bars carefully matched. Fullness is
introduced at each side by two plaits
and at the back by triple boxplait.
The double belt and the facing at the
bottom are of the same material as
the skirt.
These skirts are worn with short
belted coats in a plain color and with
silk or lingerie blouses.

If the number of new models in
separate skirts indicates the demand
for them, the American woman con-
tinues unswervingly loyal to gar
ment that her judgment has approved
for years. Her loyalty appears to
have grown into enthusiasm this
spring. 1t is evident that the sepa-
rate skirt fiourishes since it has come
within the influences that nourish
sports clothes.
Light weight wooden fabrics and
cottons Of special weaves-including
corduroys-are indicated in the styles
now on display, as the fabrics that
will endure throughout the spring
and summer seasons for making these
more than ever popular garments.
Stripes, larFe and small checks, cross
bars and novel weaves, showing strong
color contrasts in mixtures, have
eclipsed plain cloths.
Stripes are handled with originality
and cleverness. These and cross-bar
materials are rarely cut on the
straight of the goods but so managed

The dress as pictured here for the
girl of five is perfectly plain except
for a shaped band OF white, let in at
the neck with hemstitching. The belt
is provided at each end with button
hole which slips over fiat pearl but
ton at each side Of the front. De.
veloped for a smaller child the belt is
omitted and a pair Of pockets set to
the front may be ornamented with a
duckling or rabbit or some other OF
the destinations the earth holds for
childhood, done in outline stitch in
heavy yarn. A small patch pocket on
the breast at one side is really re-
auired when the dress has no other.
And speaking of destinations, peck
cts are among the things which little
children delight in.
For the busy mother there is a
question as to the economy OF making

1t lends itself admirably to machining.
Tests indicate that it can be used
indoors in replacing porcelain for
pressures above 10000 volts.

PRUNING FOR BETTER FRUIT
Avoid Practice of Cutting Of Branches
Easily Reached From Ground
Begin at Top.

In pruning apple trees, it is well to
avoid the common practice of cutting
off all the branches easily reached
from the ground, and leaving the tree
looking like large feather duster
Begin at the top and thin out branches
which shade the center of the tree too
much, writes F. w. Faurot in Farm
ers' Mail and Breeze. II the tops are
too high, lower them moderately and
gradually SO as not to disturb the bal
ance between top and roots. If the
root system has been developed to
take care of large top and much of
this is suddenly removed, the roots
will send up so much more material
than the remaining top can use that
there will be big growth of water
sprouts. Most people remove too lit
tie instead of too much Of the top,
but 1t is often necessary to distribute
the work over two years and some
times over three years.
Trees planted too thickly may need
thinning, but If the branches of neigh
boring trees overlap, the level ones
may be cut back to some upright
branch. Always prune close to the
trunk or main branch. and never leave
stub to carry decay into the tree.
Paint all cut surfaces with white lead
and raw oil. Cut out blister canker
completely, and disinfect the pruning
tools in mixture of corrosive sub

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu.
traiize Irritating Acids-SpIendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where 1t often remains to irritate and
fnfame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck Of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
sometimes with scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
&c. because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
TO overcome. Get about four ounces
OF Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so It no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and Is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with litnia,
and Is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever
Here you have pleasant. efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.
