Therefore lJse Screens

Many comforts for the human
race have been contrived by men
of this generation, among them
lis the wire screen.
Screens in the home furnishes
the greatest protection against
two insects that are enemies to
mankind; flies and mosquitoes.
There is nothing so economical as
screening to protect the family
from disease that flies carry.
The old saying, IAN ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of
cure" can surely be applied in
comparing the expense of screens
and illness. OF course, we can
only guess at the cost Of a spell
of sickness, as it is impossible to
calculate in dollars and cents the
cost of suffering, the sorrow and
grief. the loss of one life would
involve.
Windows can be very effect
lively screened with mosquito bar
=
which is usually much cheaper
than wire screens. With care
full handling, door screens also
can be made of mosquito bar,
though for doors wire netting
WILDE found more satisfactory.
p Screens protect from flies and
mosquitoes, save life, and reduce
the cost of living.

county club on the plats of the
members. He should give in
structions on. the preparation
fertilization of the soil. selection
of seed to be used, cultivation of
crops, and assist in obtaining

the boys in every way possible.
He should be assisted by the
county superintendent of educa-

The school officials should have
a sympathetic attitude toward
the work at all times. They
should assist the boy in selecting
and measuring his land, help
him to understand the bulletins,
circular letters. etc., on the'grow
ing of his crop, visit his plat
from time to time, encourage
him to do his best, and see that
correct measurements are made
at the time of harvesting.
Parents should assist their

stances should parents attempt
to hinder the boy in carrying

The Calf is a Baby

Give the calves good warm
stall with plenty of bedding.
Keep them up on all cold, wet
days. Water them in the barn,
or turn them out just long E.
nough to get water. Give them
fresh water, and do not force
them to drink ice cold water.
Feed enough grain of any kind
of grain except cottonseed meal
to keep them in good condition,
and if possible provide a rye or
clover patch for grazing. Feed
all the good hay calf will eat.
Keep the calf growing. A
hide bound calf is a high-priced
calf, and will not make the best
kind of cow.
Many calves are ruined because
they are kept too crowded. 1t is
better to raise a few calves well.
than to have a large number of
small under-sized, half-fed ami
NAL. If calves are fed by hand
be sure that the pals from which
they drink are well washed and
summed every day. A calf is a
baby, and is as easy to kill with
dirty milk as a baby.

GOVERNOR ISSUES PROCLA.
NATION FOR SUNDAY
SCHOOL DAY.
To the people of Tennessee:

To the people OF tennessee:
No state can truthfully boast
of true greatness and wealth, un,
less that state is great in its
moral development and rich ir
the GOdliness of its people, hence
the eXacting demand and impor.
tant duty Of every commonwealth
is to bend every effort and exert
every energy to the thorough es-
tablishment of the great FORGET
which produce Christian charac-
ter.
The study of the Bible is neces-
sarily a sacred duty for the rea-
son that a knowledge of Gods
word is essential to the develop
ment Of Christian character and
good citizenship.
The Sunday Schools of our
State are the strong right arms
of our churches dealing deadly
and effective blows to the evils
that seek to destroy childhood,
some State and Nation. This be-
ing true our.Sunday Schools de-
serve all praise and encourage
ment and should be attended by
all our people. The child natur-
ally follows in the footsteps of
more mature years; therefore,
our men and women should turn
their steps toward the Sunday
School, in order that the children
may, there, learn lessons which
will make them worthy citizens.
If the time ever was when the
Sunday School was but a place
for children, that time has pass
ed, nor, under the guidance of
the good men and women who
are giving their lives to this
noble cause, there is now a place
for all ages, from the Cradle
Roll" " for infants to the Home
Department" for those unable to
attend and duty calls all to take
their place in the Sunday Schools.
| would wish for no higher
compliment or greater honor for
our people than to have it said
that every citizen of the Ttate is
a member of the Sunday School.
Thousands of our children are al
ready on the highway to ruin be-
cause father, mother or some
body else did not direct their IL
ny feet into the paths that lead
to the Sunday School.
There has never been a time
when the Importance of Sunday
School attendance was not real
lied and appreciated, but it
seems to me that in view of re-
cent events the Importance of
School encouragement
and attendance is emphasized.
We did not desire it, we could
not help IL, we have even prayed
that it might not come but de-
spite all this we are today walk
ing in the gathering gloom of
lowering war-clouds. and we
need to know more of the teach
ings of the Prince of Peace and
His will concerning US.
Believing implicitly in the
great work now being done in
our Sunday Schools desirous of
encouraging efforts of those who
are contributing their time, en-
ergy and money to this holy
cause and being advised that the

citation has designated Sunday

Camisoles-that is corset covers, by
a less matter-of-fact name-are never
neglected when the Christmas list of
salable finery is made up by buyers
for the big shops. This year they have
presented shoppers with many lovely
camisoles of ribbon, or net and ribbon
combined, or crepe georgette and rib
bon. Those shown in the picture are
in pale pink, which is the favored color
for fine underwear.
Very wide satin ribbon, decorated
with small tucks, lace insertions and
French knots in pink and blue silk,
serves to produce the camisole at the
top OF the picture. 1t is edged with
frill of pink crepe and supported by
shoulder straps of satin ribbon.
The camlsole below 1t is made of
fine, white net. banded with satin rib
bon. The same ribbon is used for
shoulder straps and for drawing up
the fullness over the bust 1t is fin
ished with small bow at the front. A
fiat elastic run In a narrow hem in the
net. adjusts the camisole to the waist
shabby with use.

Pretty ladies, made of painted wood,
conceal our telephones and invite US
to tell secrets that will never be be-
trayed. These are the "pingocraft''
girls and they make fascinating gifts
to either men or women friends.
Each one stands at the front of small
board on which the telephone is to
be placed. The mouthpiece is un-
screwed and when replaced forms the
crown of a hat or springs from high
corsage bouquet or disappears alto
gether or is frankly in evidence, just
as you Will.
The pingocraft novelties are made
of wood cut out from thin boards.
painted white. The figures are out
lined on them ready for painting and
each is painted to suit the individual
taste. The little figure at the left is
holding her hat and, when she is
placed, the mouthpiece of the phone
becomes the crown of it.

Bags fill large part of the horizon

Knitting bags and countless other
kinds, made mostly of cretonne or of

Two views of a beautiful knitting
bag are shown here. 1t is made of
wide striped ribbon and will serve
as other knitting bags do, for shop
ping and carrying small parcels. 1t

be as gay and frivolously inclined as

Touring Long Island is the Long Island food reserve train. the purpose of which is spreading. the gospel of food conservation and giving lessons in the art of canning to crowds of housewives. The train is conducted by we'll known society women. two of whom, Mrs. Arthur Scott Burden and Mrs. William Laimbeer, are shown at the right in the accompanying pic- ture.
 Among those who visited the train was Ralph Peters. president of the Long Island railroad. ''The women of Long Island are surely going to do their share in the work of conserv- ing the nations food supply said MT. Peters. This is shown by the keen interest that nearly 2,O00 women have taken in. the lectures given by the battalion experts. Women of the large estates as well as farmers wives have visited the train."
