Things That Count in Dress

There was a time when it was far
more difficult to look smartly dressed
than it is today. That was the time
when we wore separate belts, when
there were dress braid on our skirts,
when~we wore separate neckwear we
had to be careful that the braid on our
skirts didn't become ripped. to hang in
loops of untidiness. We had to see to
it that the belt of our skirt didn't sag
We had to see to it that the leather
beltswe wore exactly coincided with the
skirt belt. We had to see to it that
the ribbon or muslin collar we wore
exactly made connections with the
blouse beneath it. Yes. those were. In
deed difficult days
Today neatness counts as much as
ever, but there are not SO many pit
falls for the woman who would be
neat.
Neatness of, footgear counts more
than ever before. The shoes must be
spotless. well polished and in good re-
pair. Heels that slant are an outrage
on good dressing; moreover, they are
decidedly unhealthful.
1t goes without Saying that the hair
must be neat. A hair net sometimes
produces a stiff effect, but that is bet
ter than sloppy one. So choose the
hair net in windy weather.-and learn
TO adjust it becomingly. This year.
when our mlliners tell US to wear our
hats straight on the head, neither
tipped to left or right neat hair is
more than ever essential.
Imma culate gloves count for> much
in producing smart appearance.
SoiIed gloves. ripped gloves or worn
gloves are disgrace. Nowadays, when
washab BILE gloves can be bought at al
most any price. it is possible for every
body to have clean gloves. The cotton
ones if clean, always look well-in-
finitely better than soiled kid ones.
And a stitch now and then will keep
gloves always we'll mended.
Then there is the handbag. In this
case, the more you pay. the better, for
an expensive handbag @outwears two
cheaper ones, and looks better the last
day it is carried than the cheap one
does after the first few weeks
There are little details. like the
handkerchief. which should always be
sheer and snow white, that count quite
as much as some of the bigger things
in giving the impression of smartness

Advocates Long Jacket.

At the present moment, when all the
French houses are insisting upon short
ripping jackets. the house of Cheruit
comes out with one that reaches the
knees. Instead of the barrel skirt or
godet skirt. it advocates the moder-
ately narrow walking skirt. it's full
ness gained by pleats at the side. There
is q plain panel in front. which is a
change from the usual method of this
house of placing pleatS in front and
joining them to circular sides.
An admirable model which Cheruit
has sent over is sketched today, but.
mind you. it does not signify that the
house rests all its hopes of success
on these lines. 1t is one of several

USING SULPHUR FOR
CONTROL OF DISEASE
Applications for Potato SCab in
Spring Are More Satisfactory
Than Those in Fall.

An agricultural scientist has been
carrying on Investigations to obtain
data regarding the effectiveness OF
sulphur for the control of potato scab,
and his preliminary report has been
received by the department of agricul-
ture. The results thus far obtained
indicate that spring applications are
more satisfactory than fall applica-
tions. The benefits derived from the
use of sulphur were greater when ap-
piled to land where no crop had been
grown the preceding season than on
land where such crop had been
used.
Seed treatment with formaldehyde
and the application of sulphur to the
soil gave better results than the sum
of these two treatments used separate
ly. Broadcasting Of the sulphur on
the soil after planting is considered
the best method of application.
When used in connection with fer
tilizers, sulphur was found more ef-
fective with ammonia sulphate than
with sodium nitrate, with acid phos'
phate than with steamed bone, and
with muriate than with sulphate ot
potash.

PEACH-LEAF CURL IS
READILY CONTROLLED
Thorough Application of Lime.
Sulphur Before Buds Swell
Is Recommended.

According to observations made by
the New Jersey station, peach leaf
curl can readily be controlled by a
thorough application of concentrated
lime-sulphur before the buds swell in
the spring. Bordeaux mixture, applied
early in the spring before the buds
start, also will control leaf-curl, but
the lime-and-sulphur mixture is advis.
able because it will control San Jose
scale as well.
In using lime-sulphur it is essential
to use solution that has been proper.
ly prepared and diluted with water to
strength Of not less than 1.03 specific
gravity. The spray material should
then be thoroughly applied so that
every bud and small twig receives its
coating. Any portion of the tree that
is not covered with the spray material
is likely to become infected. The OBJ
ject of the early spring application is
to kill the spores of the leaf-curl fun
gus before they germinate. In othel
words, spraying for leaf-curl must bt

the disease is established.

CENTURIES LOST BY
DEATH AND ACCIDENT
Industrial Commission Says
Toilers Lose 1900 Years
in Twelve Months.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbus.-OYer $4,000 years OF
working time we're lost as a result OF
the 1854 accidents handled through
the compensation bureau of the indus
trial commission during the u months
ended June 30 last. These figures
from the statistical department have
Just been made public here.
The time lost can be actually COM
puted only in cases of temporary dis
ability, but the time lost for perma'
nent disability is estimated on the
mortality tables standard in insurance
work
During the year 4S2 deaths were re-
ported. The life expectancy of the in
dividuals was 1855 years. Thirteen
permanent disability cases were re-
ported, with a total life expectancy OF
452 years.
The 1,646 accidents causing per-
manent partial disability received
awards under the Ohio workmen's
compensation act for total of 492,O66
days, or 1874 years.
The actual time lost from the 1892
accidents which caused temporary dis
ability for more than seven days was
922, ,984 days, or 2,529 years. The time
lost from the 3S,66S accidents which
caused temporary disability for seven
days or less was 1924 days, or PIG
years.
Computed on the basis indicated,
the time cost of the 1854 industrial
accidents which received awards dur
ing the IL months was approximately
1929 years.
The average time actually lost from
the II, 400 accidents which caused tenn
porary disability was IA days; the av-
erage time lost for the S2,7S2 acci-
dents which caused temporary disa-
bility for more than seven days was
2S.2 days; and the average time lost
for the 3S,66S accidents which caused
temporary disability for seven days or
less was 81 days.

All Goods Frozen.

The markets Of Irkutsk, in Siberia,
are an interesting sight. for the prod
ucts offered for sale are in most cases
frozen solid. Fish are piled up in
stacks like so much cordwood, and
meat likewise. All kinds Of fowl are
similarly frozen and piled up. Some
animals brought into the market
whole are propped up on their legs,
and have the appearance of being actu-
ally alive, and as one goes through the
markets one seems to be surrounded
by living pigs, sheep, oxen and fowls
standing up. But, stranger yet, even
the liquids are frozen solid and sold in
blocks. Milk is frozen into block in
this way and with a string or stick
frozen into or projecting from it. This,
it is said, is for the convenience of the
purchaser, who is thus enabled to car
ry his milk by the string or stick-han-
die.

Yet Uncle Sam will not allow them
even to use labels which might mis-
lead people into believing that they
were part Of the group of wonder
working springs that the government
guarantees as being par excellence.
They are the flow of outlying springs
not considered of value at the time
the main group was taken over. and
probably are worth no more today,
from medical viewpoint, than they
were at that time.
Baths for the INDECENT.
If seekers after health who journey
to the springs have not the where
withal to pay the modest fees In ef-
feet at the private bathing places,
Uncle Sam bids them welcome at his
bathing house on the hill. After the
formality of certifying that they own
no property, and are possessed of less
than twenty-five dollars in cash, the
government bathhouse is open to
them. Here $500 persons were cared
for last year, taking total of 1885,
98S baths at Uncle Sans expense.
The majority Of these persons had no
medical attention whatever, except the
ordinary advice given by the govern
ment employees. Yet Doctor Parks
states that 80 per cent of these people
left Hot Springs cured Of their af-
flictions, which in the majority of
cases were rheumatism in its various
forms.
1t naturally is to be supposed that
out of this large number of people
there were few who were not en-
titled to partake of Uncle Sans
bounty. It should be expected that
among the 100000 annual visitors to
the resort there would be many with
the saving instinct. The employees
of the bathhouse, for instance, say
they never could have believed there
were so many people in the world
with only $24 If they had not heard
the statements made under oath.
Uncle Sam, however, is jealous of
this water, and while he gives it free
ly, he hates to have 1t taken away
from him under false pretenses. If at
any time a case looks suspicious, he
thinks nothing of shipping an inspec-
tor half way across the continent to
secure the facts. Only last winter the
conversation of man at his modest
boarding house did not chime har-
moniously with his appearance in the
water line" at the government bath.
house. An inspector was sent up into
Michigan, and visited the little town
from which the man had registered.
When he returned he announced that
the "indigent" owned four farms in
his home county, and had mortgages
on most of the others. 1t cost that
man nearly one thousand dollars for
the baths he had taken, and only his
old soldier record saved him from
having a trip to a federal peniten'
tiary in addition.
The record of Hot Springs as a
fountain of youth is long and hon
orable one, yet the strange part Of
it all is that no one has ever been able
to discover what is the property of
the waters that effects the cures.
Away back in the early days, accord
ing to traditions, which are connect
ed with all places of this kind, the
Indians ascribed the power to Mani
tou, the Great Father.
Now there is a plan, backed by east.
ern capital, to erect at Hot Springs
the largest sanitarium in the world.
Already options have been secured on
ten acres of property lying in the heart
of the city nearly opposite. the reser-
vation.
