of the Overdress, cut in one with the

back, falling in cascaded plaits at the
bottom. In the back it is long enough

The underSkirt is almost plain, with
plaits at each side of the front panel
and across the back. 1t has wide
hem; but simplicity in this model
ceases with the underskirt. The over

CATTLE FEEDING IS
NOT RISKY BUSINESS
Farmer Who Does 1t InteIligently
and ConservativeIy Will Un-
doubtedIy Prosper.
CIV CAPT. W. S. SMITH.)


Cattle feeding is not hazardous
business, provided it is done intelli-
gently and conservatively. The man
who feeds what he has raised on his
own place, carefully husbands the ma
nure and puts it back onto the land,
is the man who will buy his neighbours
farm in the future; while the man who
hauls all he raises to the elevator is
the man who sooner or later will sell
his farm.
fully realize that all farmers can
not feed beef cattle, nor is it necessary
that they should; but do believe that
every farmer should handle stock OF
some kind, grow clover, and so treat
his land as to increase rather than to
decrease it's fertility.

To wash white silk or crepe blouse,
white silk gloves. etc., so they will NOT

water and use white soap; rinse well
and after two waters odd a mite of

water and roll up silks tightly in a soft
towel, but allow the crepe to dry en-.

use moderately hot iron, as crepe is

For Mendinq China.

An old and tested recipe for mend
ing substance for china and glass
which will resist the action of water
and heat is as follows: Mix cupful
of milk with cupful of vinegar. Sep
arate the curd from the whey and mix
the whey with the whites of five eggs,
beating the whole thoroughly together.
When it is well mixed, sift in little
quicklime and stir until it is thick
paste. This dries quickly and may be
used very satisfactorily for broken
china and glass.

FEEDING POULTRY ONE GRAIN
Fowls overtax Digestive System In
Endeavor to Obtain Needed Diff
ferent Food Elements.

There is no economy in feeding
fowls on one grain because you hap
pen to have it, for fowls eat more Of
one grain in an endeavor to obtain
sufficient of the different food ele-
ments, and thereby overtax their di-
gestive systems, and fail to produce
results.

Lawson for contempt, but fellow

Lawson said he believed in federal

Lawson said he did not recall with

Former Russian Revolutionist

A call for 100000 volunteers to wrest
the Holy Land from the Turk is soon
to go forth. Pincus Ruttenberg, a
prominent figure in the Russian revo-
luton of 1905, says they will be re-

Pincus Ruttenbergs idea.
Ever since the war began Rutten-
berg, despite criticism heaped upon
him, argued for the establishment of
a Jewish state. He took a leading
part in organizing the Jewish masses
in a movement TO win back Palestine.
His opportunity for the recruiting Of a
Jewish army in America came when
the United States entered the war.
His plans, he announces, are already
completed.

BY Vice-Admiral Sato Tetsutaro, presi-

Admiral Sato says;
"The wisest policy for Japan to pur-
sue is 70 avoid hostilities with America
as far as possible. The responsibility
for preserving the peace Of the Pacific
rests upon the shoulders of Japan and
America. which lie on either side OF
that ocean. SO long as amicable rela-

there is no fear of the peace of the

would cease TO be pacific and Japan
would be deprived Of her best Gus
