Height of Trees.

When one is out for walk, it is a
very common thing to wish to know
the height of particular tree which
happens to catch the eye. When the
sun is shining, it is possible accurate
ly to measure the height of the tree
from the shadow it casts on the
ground. In order to do so, a stick
must be set upright in the ground, so
that its shadow falls beside the shad-
ow of the tree. Then as the length Of
the sticks shadow to the stick s
height, so is the length of the trees
shadow to the trees height. For ex-
ample, suppose p foot stock shows
shadow 3 feet long, and the trees
shadow is Is feet long. Therefore the
tree is six times as high "a the stick,
which shows that the height of the
tree will be Is feet.

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should rind would
you run and stop it or 60 and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with coug. A cough is DAN
ger signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that causes
the coughing. This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlain'sCo Cough
Remedy. Many have use it with the
most beneficial results. 1t is especial
ly valuable for the persistent cough
that so often follows bad cold or an
attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes:
"During the winter my husband takes
cold easily and coughs and coughs.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the
best medicine for breaking up these
attacks and you cannot get him to
take any other" Obtainable at PAUL

Fit the Cow to the farm.

Before any farmer decides on the
breed of cattle he will keep he should
decide on what he wishes to keep them
for The farmer living several miles
from market and with a large farm
will usually find beef cattle more to
his needs than dairy cattle. The man
who wishes to keep only two or three
COWS to supply milk and butter for his
family, and who expects to get his
cash returns from the sale of calves
will generally find one of the dual
purpose breeds the best for him. The
man whose business is dairying can
not afford to think of beef returns ex-
cept as one of the little incidentaIs of
his business.
Many a dairyman has ruined his
business by the use of a beef bull, hop
ing to get calves thaC would sell for
more without reducing his supply of
milk, There are numerous nelghbor-
hoods in which the calves rather than
the milk should be the main return
from the cows but in which Jersey
bulls are making the calf crop poorer
every year. Numbers of farmers are
trying to get both milk and beef by
crossing cattle of the beef type with
cattle of the dairy breeds.
All these things mean loss to the
farmer, The dairyman who breeds
his cows to anything but a pure bred
bull of one of the dairy breeds needs a
term at school The man who takes a
dairy bull into beef cattle neighbor-
hood should have rocks and eggs and
things thrown at him. The problem
of the all-around farm cow is still a
hard one to solve. The best solution,
theoretically, is the keeping of real
ual-purpose cattle, such as the Red
Polls or milking strains of Short
horns, Often, though it is not prac-
tical to get COWS of this kind, and then
the farmer must do just the best he
can, In many cases the best thing
would probably be to change his plan
of farming little and go in for either
milk or beef.

The newspapers Of Berlin are slow
in expressing an opinion on President
Wilson's speech. the text of which was
received by them shortly before going
to press. The afternoon papers re-
frain from any comment, even the
headlines being noncommittal and the
stock market, which usually is the
most responsive barometer of popular
sentiment, seemed to be unaffected
Nevertheless the speech occupies a
large part of the restricted columns
of the press and is regarded as the

first major league trial with the Ath.
letics a few. years ago. He pitched
three or four games, in one of which
he shut out the Tigers.
Connie didn't think the lad was quite
ready. SO he sent him to Portland,
Ore, with a proviso that he could be
repurchaSed. This was very necessary,
nasmuch as the Cleveland club, for
several years, has had first call on all
Portland players.
While Covelesl1ie was with Portland
there was some change in the organi-
zation of the club, which involved the
making out of new papers. The owner
ship forgot to protect Mack's claim
to Coveleskie, and when the deal was
completed Cleveland had a grip on him.
Mack naturally protested, holding
that the player belonged to his club,
in which he probably was right. But
he never got any action. All that he
did get was the barrel Of Oregon ap'
plies, sent to him by the club owners,
apparently as a peace offering.
Connie says that a pitcher is pref
ty cheap buy at the price Of a barrel
OF apples, even if fruit is away up at
this time. Anyone with another Cove
leskie to peddle can get a carload Of
apples from Mack, or from any other
manager.

FACE REQUIRES STEAM BATH
Thorough Cleansing, and Massaging OF
the Tissues, Will Be Found to
Work Wonders.

Our present day highbred life, with
its comforts figured out to a science
has its pitfalls. Fancy one of our old
New England women needing to steam
her face even if she dared to attempt
it. Overwork, overeating, insufficient
sleep and exercise, especially outdoor
exercise, overheated houses and Il lot
more things that we love to indulge
in bring about tight skin and tensed
muscles. Most nervouSly rundown pa
tients are hide-bound all over, espe-
cially over the abdomen. Getting free
from this is the first stage in the cure.
When the skin takes up this Stiffened
condition, take lesson from the stable
man. He exercises his animal till he
gets every pore vigorously throwing off
secretions. Then he blankets the
horse and lets him steam and cool off
gradually. The principle is the same.
Steam the face, massage the tissues,
then close the pores gradually.

BELTS OF MANY MATERIALS
Wide Choice Available, But the Smart
est of Them Are Narrow and
Neatly Tailored.

Belts continue in fashion. Perhaps
this recurrence of bygone fashion
is due to our recurrent waistlines. For
so long we have had no waistlines that
we must now do something to cele-
brate their temperance, even if that
.;omething is the wearing Of a belt. So
belts we wear, and now when we pack
our weekend suitcases we shall be
forced to look for one more accessory
to go with our coats, frocks and suits.
There are many interesting leather
belts of various styles and colors.
Some are lined with silk or satin,
some are covered or partly covered
with bead embroidery. Some are
made of other materials. But what
ever the color, whatever the material,
the smart belt is narrow, and neatly
tailored. 1t is altogether a neat add
ton to our wardrobe.

MAKE MORE USE OF CHALLIS
For Interior Decoration One Will
Have to Go Far to Find Any
thing Prettier.

If you are contemplating some new
interior hangings for living room or
dining room or even bedroom consid-
er challis. You don't have to select
from the old-fashioned sprigged va
riety or even the small conventional
design or stripe. You may now have
the widest kind of futurist challis in
the most brilliant of colOrings.
Japanese, the latest challis is
called. Big red moons sport on skies
of blue and glorious palm trees spring
from sands Of golden yellow. Much of
the challis shows no such concerted de-
signs, being merely blotches of bright
color on brighter grounds.
Of course, you can still get the de-
mure little stripped patterns and some
quaint old-fashioned designs where a
quieter patterning is desirable. Chal-
lis makes lovely soft hangings and has
the additional value Of being wash
able.

COPIED FROM OTHER DAYS
Present Styles Are a Mixture of the
Best of the Known Fashions OF
the Past.

The long-ago days and the styles
worn then have been the inspiration
of many of the fashions of today.
Modern dress recalls the Moyen age
long waistline, the Victorian shoulders
and the picturesque hat of Louis XVI.
The pokebonnet, once more the
style, recalls days gone by, while the
apron, now put into the practical use
in many of the modern dresses, re-
minds one that back in the days of
Mary Stuart the apron formed a part
of the dress. Then, however, it was
ornamented and of fine fabric rather
than useful, as at present.
The quaint fur shoulder wraps now
so prevalent look much like the Shout
der capes of 1910 and fall off the
shoulders in much the same way.
Likewise Japanese and Chinese infiu-
ences are very noticeable in many OF
The modern styles.
Our styles taken as whole are
most pleasing combination of the best
If the styles of the past and the most
interesting of the modern tendencies.

Buttonhole Finish.

A picot edge on chiffon crepe ano
organdie collars, while not out of style,
is set aside little for the new button
hole charming finish in these days
when so much embroidery is used on
dresses.
Chiffon blouses, dress tops and
blouses now have their edges over
bound with narrow one-eighth or one
fourth-inch band of the chiffon to give
just the right degree of solidity to this
material. Edges of surplice fronts, col
lars, cuffs, ETC., all show this finish. If
the material is taffeta or satin the
overbound edge matches. Of course,
this edge is put on by hand, and is
often pressed into 3 fold in the center
drst to keep it from getting askew.

Dear laughing eyes, will not pray
That God shall never send you tears ;
That cloudless sunshine, day by day,
Shall brighten all your coming years.
pray that still through cloud anC rain
Your inner depths may hold their
light,
And under happiness or pain
You find the Fathers meaning bright
Reading in all life's meaning right,
Your title of high womanhood.
Dear girlish hands, will not choose
The softest, daintiest tasks for you
God send you strength to give and use,
God send his work for you to do,
The sacred ministry to need,
The round of household toll and care,
The binding up of hearts that bleed,
The girding up of hearts that dare
The labor of loves law made good
In royal years of womanhood.
Dear dancing feet, would not make
Your path all smooth from thorn and
brier;
The climbing road be yours to take,
The thorn-set, splendid struggle
higher.
God give you still life's springtime
zeSt,
Never content with what is past;
God grant you through earth's wear
lest
To walk undaunted to the last.
Climbing the sleeps of hard-won good
TO heavens height of womanhood.

Turn the ends of the blotting paper
under the cardboard and secure to the
