FEEDING-BOTTLES LONG AGO
Specimens Preserved Show They Con-

pose, Rattle and Picture Book,

Possibly hollow gourd constituted
the first babys feeding bottle. Torn
from its parent tree, it's edible interior
would have found it's way to the stom-
ach of its adult plucker, after which
the hollow shell would be filled with
milk, or other liquid refreshment, for
the satisfaction of the infant.
In tropical countries, again, the COCO
nut would constitute a natural feed
ing bottle, already filed with the nee
essary nourishment.
Without however, indulging in spec.
ulation of this kind, it may be noted
that the archaic vase room at the Brit
ish museum contains specimens Of
feeding bottles-tetinoe, archaeologists
call them-dating back to between six
and seven hundred years before
Christ.
These very early babies bottles are
usually gobular in shape, are elabor-
ately decorated, and are covered with
small knobs which, it is conjectured,
were used to hang tiny bells upon.
| In short, the feeding bottle of those
days was also a rattle and a picture

Co|orful Evening Frocks.

Prosperity is translated into clothes
In this seasons evening frocks. Satin,
crepe, brocade, cloth of gold and sill

masses of net are used for making

color, which is Of wonderful value in
them. Intricate combinations of color,
and the introduction of unusual shades
bring the attention to a Standstill in

Fertilizers and Rusts.


It is well known that seed treatment
has no effect on the rust. Soil treat
ment is also almost ineffective, except
insofar as good soil practice will put
the seedbed in the best condition and
promote the most rapid and vigorous
growth of the wheat plant.
OF course, spraying of grain fields
is not only impracticable but useless
as we'll. Certain farm practices, as
for instance the use of well-drained
land, however, should be followed in
order that the crop may be given the
best possible chance to escape an cpl
demic or to endure it.
Early maturing varieties on we'll
prepared land sown as early in the
season as possible, may assist In es-
Gaping the rust if the attack is late.
There can be no logical reason for
maintaining common barberry plants
anywhere in the vicinity of grain
fields. Certainly no new ones should
be planted md the old ones should
be removed

penniless, he had become desperate.
His landlady was threatening to turn
him out of the single room he occupied
unless he paid her the four dollars,
representing two weeks rental, by eve
ming. And Harry, who had been accus-
toned to good food, was singularly
empty.
What aggravated the situation was
that he had secured position at TWEEN
ty-four dollars, to start in on Monday.
But this was only Friday, and he saw
no prospect of facing the ten days that
would elapse until he drew his first
pay envelope and surviving. At TWEEN

He knew that within year he woulC

Boilers Need Another GAUGE.

From the standpoint of the plant
owners whose money is being spent,
the question of the true method of
burning fuel economically probably is
most vital, and yet, strange to say, it
is one that remains most frequently
unsolved. 1t is regarded as eminently
proper to provide each boiler with a
pressure gauge, so that the flremen
may at any time know the exact bpiler
pressure; but it is not though neces-
sary to furnish them with telltale to
indicate the state of combustion. And
as a result, the average boiler plant
usually wastes from to 25 per cent
sometimes more-of it's coal.-Engi-

very serious epidemic of stem
rust ("black rust') of wheat which oc-
CURED the past season, especially in
the spring wheat states, has forcibly
brought to light the heavy losses
which may be caused by this disease.
The following is brief description of
the present status of our knowledge
of the cereal rusts and of the efforts
which are being made, especially by
the department of agriculture, to In
vestigate and combat them.
Kinds of Rusts.
Each of the common cereals includ-
Ing corn is subject to the attack of
rust. AS viewed by the farmer, this
rust looks somewhat similar in all
cases. In reality, however, there are
several different kinds of rust which
are distinct from each other and which
vary in their virulence of attack
Wheat, for instance, is known to have
in this country three kinds of rust
leaf rust. stem rust, and q yellow or
stripe rust. Oats is commonly afilict-
ed with both a leaf rust, sometimes
also called "crown rust" and a stem
rust. Barley and rye also have Leaf
and stem rusts. On corn, however

Collars, Convertible and Otherwise.

The trend of fashion in collars is
toward the original and UNUSUAL, espe-
daily in separate collars to be worn
for added warmth Will, suits or frocks.
Collars have taken their inspiration
from every period and cline, but only
hint of their origin is discernible in
most of them, for about all coat and
separate collars are convertible. That
Is, whatever the style of the collar to
start with, it is convertible into muf-
1er-collar that swathes all of the
throat and part of the head.
Costumers, having centered their at
tention on collars, have contrived some
ingenious novelties on blouses and
one-piece frocks, but these are another
story told in the dainty terms of chif-
| fon, crepe, georgette, and net. A

ar appears in airy scarfs of malines

Everyone wears them.
very wide cape-collar is shown in
the picture, on a handsome fur coat.
1t is converted into a muffier-collar by
utilizing buttons and buttonholes also.
The latest arrival in collars is sim
pie to the last degree. 1t is merely a
wide band of fur which stands straight
up about the neck and fastens with a
rosette and soft ends of ribbon ut one
side. Or the ties may be of crepe. In
either case they match the fur in color.
The plainest of coats may depend
upon a spirited collar to give it class,
and the element of style in blouses and
frocks as well lie more in the collar
than in any other detail, at present.

Harry.
She shook her head. The little
country place would scorn her as
failure. No, she would renew the
fight, 1t would give her a months
leeway. Harry could not shake her
in that determination.
He almost wished that the marriage
was to be real one when the time
came for the performance. This time
the girl entered the cage without a
tremor, and as for Harry, he was look
ing at her so hard that he hardly
thought about the lions at all.

the fat man. 'allow me to present to
you Signor Giovanni and Madame Lii

1t seemed like sacrilege, only it was
so like a happy dream, when Harry
placed the gold ring upon the finger
of the girl beside him. And presently
he was escorting her from the cage
and bowling to the applauding audi
ence.

man insinuatingly. "Just fake mar

Jorabella's got married every evening
for a year now, and each got homes
and families Of their own. Come on,
and I'll introduce you to Mamzelle Lib
ertina. Your names Giovanni. And
don't forget it."
The scared and shrinking girl whom
Harry met looked about as much q
novice as himself. But it seemed the
apart until just before the circus
opened that night to admit the public.
Then came the rehearsal.
Fearfully, the girl looked at the
three lions, seated upon their launches
and regarding them, in turn, with mel
ancholy interest. Then Harry stepped
boldly in, and, as the lions took very
little notice of him, the girl followed.
Up came Rev. Eliphet book in hand,
and took his station just inside the
door. Harry watched the lions out Of
the corner of his eye while Eliphet
stirred.
Fine! Fine!" exclaimed the fat
man. "Now we shan't be long. The
real thing will go off just as WELL"
They stepped out of the cage, the
girl smiling pitifully at Harry. He
imagined that she was more humili-
ated than alarmed. There was half an
hour to wait before the real perform
ance. Seated side by side before the
cage, which had been wheeled just out
side the arena, they exchanged conf
dences.

only one kind of rust is found, and
this is rarely serious.
The cat rusts are very commonly
present and sometimes cause severe
epidemics in certain oat-growing
states. OF the wheat rusts the most
important one at the present time is
the stem rust, commonly called the
"black rust" which was the cause of
the epidemic of rust in the spring
wheat states this year. The leaf rust
of wheat Is almost always present ev-
cry year and is familiar to most farm
ers as "red rust" and while it I'M
doubtedly does at least slight dam
age, it seldom If ever causes a severe
loss. The yellow or stripe rust of
wheat, has only recently been discov-
cred in this country. 1t also attacks
barley and certain wild grasses and
has been found in the western part of
the United States, but not as yet east
of the Rocky mountains except in east
ern Wyoming. 1t is common rust
in Europe and considered a serious
disease. If it continues to spread in
this country, and if it proves as seri-
Gus an enemy to wheat here as it has
in Europe, it is possible that 1t will
