COVERS FOR SWEEPING DAYS
Provision May Be Made That Will Do
Away With Much Annoyance
on Those Occasions.

To find the necessary coverings on
sweeping days has often sent the maid
scurrying about for old aprons, sheets,
towels and anything else she could
lay her hands on to use for this pur-
pose.
A friend of mine has solved the diff
fculty in this way: She purchased a
quantity Of gray cambric and made from
1t a large sheet with which to cover
the beds and sldeboard; smaller COW
ers for dressers and toilet tables were
made and still others, In suitable
shapes, were designed to put over the
lamps, mantels and the like. She also
made from the cambric a bag to keep
the covers in; this was hung in the
broom closet.
While light, the canbric formed a
perfect protection against dust, and
simple shaking when the sweeping
was finished freed the covers from the
dust that had settled upon them, so
that they required washing but once
a month. The use of these dust COW
ers saved much valuable time and ex-
ira work. The cost of a set is moder-
ate and it does not take long to make
them.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

sufficient height for headroom in a
horse stall.
The floor all over the barn is made
level and smooth except In the manger,
gutter and standing floor part Of the
COW stable. Extra planks are used In
the horse stable to give the floor the
necessary slant, and they also keep the
horses off the hard concrete. In the
center of the barn is the driveway,
which viii probably be given severe
service. To take this into account the
floor In this section should be made
Of very tough and enduring concrete.
The horse and COW stables are both
partitioned off from the driveway, so
that they are entirely separate and re-
moved from one another. The drive
way is open to the roof In the center,
but 1t is floored over at the sides Of
the barn IA feet up from the floor to
continue the NOW space to hold as
much hay and other material as pos
sible. This driveway may be used for
various purposes, depending on the
type Of farming and whether the barn
is being used as the main barn Of a
small farm or as an auxiliary barn on
a larger farm.
One thing which recommends this
barn very strongly is the large number
Of windows. Abundant light Is fur
nished from all sides, the Importance
of which is gaining more and more rec
ognition as the investigation Of sani-
tary conditions Is carried on. The ex-
pense of including the large number
of windows Is very slight and the adj
vantages Of furnishing plenty Of light
are many. In the first place light,
airy stable cannot help but increase
the chances for q healthful condition
Of the live stock. At the same time 1t
is very much easier to keep a sunny
stable clean. Cleanliness Is being rec
ognized as one Of the most important
features in connection with the raising
of well-bred live stock.
For the large-farm owner who takes
pride In a few exceptionally well-bred
animals or who has few animals that
are used for the personal convenience
and comfort of the family, this type of
barn furnishes an excellent means to
give these favored servants the best Of
care. The storage room available is
also helping factor In the careful

REQUIRES CARE IN MAKING
Tea. to Be at Its Best, Must BE Pre-
pared Under Exactly the Proper
Conditions.

There is practically no nutrlment In
tea, though there are small amounts
of mineral salts. The principal ingredi-
ents are caffein, which stimulates the
nerves; volatile oils, which give the
flavor, and fannie acid. which retards
the digestionl
The japanese have made religious
and aesthetic ceremonial of tea-drink-
ing. and, like the mineral waters whose
efficiency is found to depend largely
on the change and rest accompanying
their drinking, the afternoon tea has
its psychological as we'll as its physi-
Biological reasons for the pleasant re-
suits produced.
Like all beverages which refresh by
stimulating, tea should be used with
great discretion.
Less tea is used to the cup than In
the case Of coffee-one-half to one tea
spoonful as compared to one table
spoonful. A mild cup of tea well made
will not hurt a healthy person, and, al
though the stimulating principle Is the
same, tea does not seem to have so di-
rect or so pronounced an effect on the
central nervous system as does coffee.
Children, people with gastric troubles
or those who are nervous should not
drink tea.
Green tea contains much more tan
mic acid than black tea. Be sure IL
does not boil or stand on the leaves IL
you use It.
Hard or stale water does not make
good tea. It should be freshly drawn
and freshly boiled.
Boiling any tea is crime. The caf-
fein is readily soluble and is quickly
obtained In solution. Boiling or long
standing on til" leaves only results In
more Of the injurious tannic acid be-
Ing extracted and spoils the flavor as
well as making the beverage more
harmful.

The tailored suit is Of perennial In
terest, for it is much the same and

wear meets so many critical eyes, and
women step down and up to COM

Mistake Men Make.

Men harness themselves to the work
and stress Of the world in clumsy and
unnatural ways. The harness they
put on is antiquated. A rough, Ill
fitting collar, at best, they make its
strain and friction past enduring by
placing it where the neck is most
sensitive; and by mere continuous ir-
ritation this sensitiveness increases
until the whole nature is quick and
sore. This is the origin, among other
things, Of a disease called loneliness
IA disease which, in spite of it's In
nocent name, is one Of the gruvest
sources of restlessness in the world.
Loneliness, when 1t becomes chronic,
is a morbid condition of the inward
disposition. It is self-love infamed to
the acute point; conceit with q hair
trigger.

1t Is often desirable to build q barn
which will not take up great deal of
space, but when the small capacity of
this kind of a structure is thought Of,
the desire to build vanishes. Yet on
the small farm there must be a barn,
and it must not take up too much
space; so the principal object Of the
builder must be to find a design re-
quiring little floor space, but provid-
ing the maximum possible capacity. A
large-capacity small barn is also very
useful addition to the buildings Of the
larger farm.
A design Is here illustrated which
meets the requirements Of taking up
little ground and at the same time fur
nishing u considerable capacity. The
barn is a good-looking. convenient
structure, its floor taking up a space
only 26 by 46 feet, but its peak reaches

"Petunia is growing more and more

umphantly stated the landlord Of the

an always correct tailored finish. The

space may be used for materials which
do not rightly belong In confusion
with the other various articles which
are a necessary part Of every farm

tion order, each pair Of rafters forming
an independent truss, which, taken to-
gether, support the roof in very sub
stantial manner without the use of
any intermediate uprights or cross
beams. This roof construction not only
insures the largest possible capacity
but It Is also an important factor In
the ease with which this barn may be
filled. since there Is no obstruction in
the way OF those working In the loft.
The corner posts are made By spik-
ing the side Of one plank against the
edge Of another, forming an L-shaped
arrangement. The sills are made by
doubling pIanks and the plates are
built up In the same manner. This is
simple construction. but 1t Is just as
solid as could possibly be had.
The haymow floor Is placed nine feet
above the floor at the COW stable end
Of the barn. which allows about eight
feet Of headroom In the COW stable.
This is an ample amount Of headrOom
for the COW stall end of the barn and
insures good ventilation. Headroom Is
not Of as great Importance in the COW
stalls as it IS in the horse stalls, so
long as the ventiIai Is not impaired.

most effective suits follow current

are not out of date with the passing

true Of the materials of which the
best tailored suits are made.
The suit shown here is an excellent
example of a standard suit, made of
black and white checked material,
which is never out of fashion. The

flares sufficiently to be in the mode.
