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
ficulty in this way: She purchased a
quantity Of gray cambria andmade from
1t 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 cambria bag to keep
the covers in; this was hung in the
broom closet.
While light, the cambria formed a
perfect protection against dust, and a
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 1t does not take long to make
them.--Pittsburgh Dispatch.

FAIR EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS
Declared States Greatest Livestock
Show BY Experts.

Declared States Greatest Livestock
Show BY Experts.
Fargo.-North Dakota's greatest live
stock show! Such Is the verdict OF
the old timers who make it regular
business to visit the North Dakota
state fair every year. Never before
was such an aggregation Of the choic-
est pure-bred stock at North Dakota
state fair. The striking feature OF the
livestock show were the great enthusi-
asm and optimism displayed by all ex-
hibitors and also a wonderful improve
ment in the quality of stock on exhibit
ton in practically every breed over
former years.
That North Dakota is fact becoming
livestock state of importance Is I'M
doubtedly evidenced by the number
and quality of the animals on exhibt-
ton.
It is true that some of the stock
came from outside the state, but that
all the more evidences the fact that
outside breeders consider North Da-
kota a good state in which to adver-
fist.
The beef breeds of cattle were all
represented by excellent herds. w. J..
Kennedy, of Souix City, Ia, placed the
awards in the beef classes to the salts
faction of all exhibitors and is to be
commended upon his excellent work.
Among the leading exhibitors Of
Shorthorn cattle were: w. w. Brown.
of Armenia, N. D.; Walter Hill Of
Northcote, MIMI, Mr.. Arnold, of Wis
consin; Mr.. Aliason, of Minnesota, and
Carlson Bros, of Erskine, MINI.

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

There is practically no nutriment in
tea, though there are small amounts
OF mineral salts. The principal ingredi-
ents are caffein, which stimulates the
nerves; volatile oils, which ssye the
flavor, and tannic acid, which retards
the digestion!
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-
illogical reasons for the pleasant re-
suits produced.
Like oil 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 n healthy person, and, al
though the stimulating principle is the
same, tea does not seem to have so d.
rect or so pronounced an effect on the
central nervous system rs 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 it
does not boil or stand ON the leaves If
you use 1t.
Hard or stale water does not make
good tea. It should be freshly drawn
and freshly boiled.
Boiling any ten is crime. The caf-
fem Is readily soluble and is quickly
obtained in solution. Boiling or long
standing on IT, leaves only results in
more Of the Injurious fannie acid be-
ing extracted and spoils the flavor as
we'll as making the beverage more
harmful.
