WATCH THE LITTLE THINGS
Wise Mothers Keep Eye on Remnant
Counter and Utilize leftovers for
Little Girls Dresses.

The little girl of the family may be
charmingly QUILTED ut a trifling cost
if thought and industry go into the
task.
Few people are SO foolish as to
underestimate the Importance Of ap-
pearance, and the woman who dresses
we'll with a comparatively small out
lay of money in her turn, has been
properly dressed as a child by a
another who took interest In her small
daughters clothes.
The wise mother will keep an eye
on the remnant counter, and on odds
and ends left over from the apparel
of grown-up members of the family.
With q clever combination of fabrics,
or a deft touch of ~handwork here and
there, she will give originality and in
dividuality TO dresses for the little girl.
A complete seasons outfit should
never be arranged at one time. A new
dress now and then means more TO q
child than il does to an adult, so that
to some extent the juvenile wardrobe
should be arranged piecemeal.

CLING TO CHARM OF YOUTH
if Covered With Layers of Rouge
and SWathes of Powder.

Every young girl, no matter who she
may be, has the charm of youth and
should hold it. 1t is as elusive as a
dream and cannot last for many years,
SO while it is hers she should cherish
1t. 1t is the look OF youth.
But no girl can hold it, no matter
how clever, who covers it up with lay
ers of rouge and swathes of powder,
declares a beauty specialist. A touch
of rouge when one is tired and the
face is colorless, especially in the
evening, is not objectionable, but the
girl who has q good complexion, the
gift of nature, should never resort to
rouge OF powder, except for the light
rice powder that keeps the face from
the shiny look, which is such a de-
tractor of beauty.
1t seems almost unbelievable that
any girl with q really good complex
lon would resort to paint or powder,
and yet it is true that many do. 1t
may be that these girls have an idea
that these aids TO complexion give
to them the appearance of sophistica-
ton.
And they are right, in q measure.
For rouge Invariably does give the
lines Of the face an older look, a hard

War conditions make it especially
Important that the farm woodlot be
utilized to the fullest at this time In
particular as q source of fuel. Coal
Is high and scarce and even govern
ment Intervention cannot insure an
adequate supply throughout the win

pOrtation difficulties. Every cord of

the tension by just hat much, and
every farmer who can do so will
doubtless find it to be to his advan-
tage to put in a good supply of cord
wood for himself, and to sell to 9TH
ers wherever possible. Many farmers
owning woodlots within hauling dis
lance of towns and cities are now
finding a profitable sale for cordwood
in large quantities.

OATS IN FATTENING RATION
Good Feed for Brood Sows and Crow
ing Pigs, But Not SO Useful In
Finishing Hogs.

Ground oats will be found q good
feed for brood sows and growing
pigs but not so useful as corn for
~fattening hogs. When made a part
OF the fattening ration oats should
not constitute more than one-third Of
it, and probably o%ne-fourth would be
better. The great hog f%attener is
corn, and nothing else on earth equals
Ii for gains or quality Of product. But
corn is most effective in making gains
when balanced by some tankage or
oats or middlings. and here the oats

The model sketched was in pure
white oursine, with a wide band of
Sapphire-blue velvet twisted round the
top of the crown and tied in a loose
bow at one side. Similar hats are
simply trimmed with a wide band of
crochet work in some bright-colored

The second head shows q model by
Lewis. This is one of the newest
shapes, and 1t is half hat, half tOque.
In front the brim is pressed into a
point, but at the back it is fiat and
finished with a large, flat bow. No
trimming is introduced on hats of this
kind, and they are worn well pressed
down over the hair.
For wearing with simple tailored
suits this model would be specially
suitable and it might be made in some
bright colored velvet or panne; for ex-
ample, in emerald green or tomato red.
The crown is high and very full, with
a slight tendency toward extra width
at the back. For everyday wear such
a hat might be made of gray oursine,
or of golden-yelloW chamOis cloth, with
q fiat black satin bow at the back.

Efficient SCALY LEG CURE
insects Which Cause Trouble Can Be
Killed by Application of Sulphur
and Lard.

Poultry kept in dirty houses often is
troubled with coarse scales on the

of mites, which have burrowed be-
meath the scales. They are air breath

by applying a mixture of equal parts

features of the design Is porch which
is thoroughly adaptable to the design.
The house expresses comfort and hos

largely to the effect of the porch. A
low arched effect is used across the
front of the house and the ends of the
porch have a similar treatment; the
vertical measurement of the curve is
the same for these two arched effects.

OLD INDUSTRY IS REVIVED
Wartime Demand for Dyestuffs Has
Put New Life Into Raising of In
diso in Central America.

The wartime demand for dyestuffs
has revivified the ancient indigo indus
try of Central America, reports Uncle
Sans consul at Tegucigalpa. Hon
duras had never wholly abandoned the
cultivation of indigo, for although it
ceased to yield a profit as an export
product, in competition with the syn
thetic output of commercial laborato-
ries, it is still found in general domes-
tic use among the people. The proc
esses are crude, however, but If the
industry could be assured of a salts
factory future, improvement would be
feasible.
The center of the indigo industry in
Honduras is around Camasca, which
is in the southern portion of the re-
public, close to the border of Salvador.
A correspondent of the NuevO ITEM
po Of Tegucigalpa, in recent issue
of that newspaper, showed that the
acreage in indigo around Camasca had
increased from 1857 manzanas in 1916
to 1856 manzanas in 1917 (manzana
equals 1.72 acres). The production,
even with the primitive methods of
cultivation and extraction in use, is
about 80 pounds of indigo per man
zana, so that the output of this small
district should approximate 100000
pounds this year.
