diluted with half rain water and half

over the skin with pads Of absorbent

into the skin, and may be poured, n
few drops at a time, into the wash

makes the skin as fresh as a rose.
Good cold cream of course is not
so much for granted that the other ar

be rubbed into the skin when milady

pores of the skin have been cleansed

hand, the knowledge of their presence

WHAT KILLED YOUR POULTRY
Hawk Usually Carries OF Young

Work of Weasel Differs.

A hawk usually carries Off the young
chicks, but if they attack larger ones
the bodies will be left. 1t will be
found that death has been caused by
tear at the back of the neck. The skull
will be torn open and the feathers
scattered but not trailed.
II the chicken is found dead on It's
side, with it's neck stretched out, and
a small wound In the throat, 1t is the
work Of a weasel that has sucked its
blood.
II a carcass is found with the head
and breast devoured. it is the work OF
q cat.
AS rule, the rat does its deadly
work at night, and the carcass often Is
found very badly mauled. The en-
trails generally are drawn out, but not
eaten, and the carcass Is bitten and
gnawed in many places.

Skill in selecting accessories Is often
the major asset of u woman who ranks
as the best-dressed individual in her
own set.
Gloves, shoes, hat and neck dressing
must be thought out carefully and the
question of furs is one that comes up
for consideration. The summer fur
vogue is stronger than 1t was year
ago, when ii first received general
American recognition.
Last year natural animal scarfs pref
ty well dominated the summer fur
showing; but this season innumerable
smart novelties are displayed. Stole
scarfs lined with thin satin or chiffon,
little three-cOrnered wraps of fiat fur,
collarettes and all sorts of clever lit
tie capes are shown.
In regard to summer neckwear, it
must be noted that many periods con-
tribute, and a collar taken from the
era of Henry ii, Byron, Oliver Crom-
well or Victoria may be equally smart,
provided the collar and the face for
tremendously. Cape and fichu effects
are extremely good and sailor, cavalier
and Elton shapes are also favored.
Some tailored collars of pique or linen

net, batiste, etc., are thought highly Of

Excellent Reason Why Rose Shade
Never Seems to Lose Its
Popularity.

Green may be a good color for the
eyes.
Violet may be an esthetic color.
Yellow may be cheerful color.
But rose color is the most becoming
color for lampshade.
Fortunately. most people realize this
fact. At hotels and restaurants and
In private houses where the decOra-
tons are planned to emphasize the
best in the persons who live among
them, rose colored lampshades are
much In evidence.
Lampshades always ought to be
planned with view to the light they
cast. That is why the rose-colored
shade is the most becoming. For any
woman knows that her color CLOVIS
more under a rose light than under
any other. that wrinkles are minimized
that skin Is softened and that every
vestige of prettiness she possesses Is
emphasized BY this soft color.

land should be left rough to expose as
many eggs as possible. and after hard
freezing weather 1t should be har-
rowed TO expose any eggs that may
have been covered before.
II these precautions are not adopt
ed and the grasshoppers are allowed to
hatch from the eggs they may be con-
trolled later In the season by the use
of the following poisoned bait:
Bran 80 pounds, white arsenic or
paris green. pound, oranges or lem
ons 8 pounds. cheap strip Of molasses

White arsenic is preferred, owing to
its cost, which is must less than paris
green at the present time.
The dry bran and poison should be
mixed in a washtub. The strip and
the juice and finely chopped pulp and
peel Of the fruit should then be added
to the water and poured over the mix
ture of bran and poison. This mash
is very attractive to grasshoppers while
it is fresh. but when dry or stale it Is
Of little value. The early morning Is
the best time to scatter 1t over the in

tested land. as the grasshoppers are
just beginning to feed then and the
mash does not dry out as quickly as
If it were applied later in the day.
After the first day little of the bait is
eaten, so that several applications may
be necessary in badly infested fields.
The formula mentioned will provide a
sufficient quantity for 8 acres Of heav-
lily infested land and should cost about
% cents per acre for one application.
If the infestation is not very heavy,
the amount should be enough to treat
10 acres.
If the poisoned bait is scattered
evenly, domestic animals and birds will
not eat enough of it to harm them. The
bait, however, should never be placed
In heaps or scattered thickly about,
and care should be taken to keep the
poison out of the reach of children and
domestic animals. 1t is best not to
use the hands for mixing as the poison
may be absorbed, although there are
no known instances in which poisoning
has followed the sowing Of the wet
bait barehanded.

Russia's Natural Roads.

Russia is almost a rOadless land. 1t
is inconceivable to the foreign visitor
who has never left the beaten track OF
the railways in Russia haw great en-
pire can have subsisted so long and so
successfully without even a pretense at
roads. THE secret lies in the fact that

smooth, glossy rOadways over hard
worn snow.
The traffic is further cheapened over
these roads by the substitution of
sledge-runner for the wheel and axle.
This brings the cost of land carriage
as near the cheapness of water-borne
freight as possible and it is the princi-
pal reason why Russia in the twentieth
century Is still a roadless land.
