STUMP BURNING PLANS
Several Have Been Carried Out
With Fair Success.
Simple Method Evolved by Professor
Ferris Of ississippi-Two-Inch
Hole Is Bored Through Stump
and Fire Started.

Several plans for the slow burning
of stuInps have been devised and car
ried out with fair measure of sue
cess. Professor Sparkle of Seattle,
WASH, advocates system of charpit-
ting by which air is admitted to the
fire through a long pipe. Combustion
is carried on in the heart of the stump
instead of on the outside. A descrp-
ton of the system appeared in these
columns about a year ago. 1t requires
some skill to obtain results by this
method, as several of our readers wrote
saying that they had tried it without
satisfactory results. 1t is better suited
for the destruction of the woods of the
Pacific coast than for those of the
East.
A simpler plan has been evolved by
Professor Ferris of Mississippi and as
shown in the accompanying diagram,
consists of pinch hole bored dag
onally through the stump. The upper

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT

All household furnishings and cloth
ing should be exposed to direct sun
light for number of hours at least
every few days. Direct sunlight is the
best disinfectant known. 1t kills germs
in a few hours. Dtfused sunlight or
daylight may have as good effect, but
in u much longer time. Shutting the
sunlight out OF the house is an unhy-
genie custom. 1t should go as has
gone many of the ideas and customs
belonging to the dark ages. For that
reason sunshine should be welcomed as
a messenger of cleanliness and good
health. The drawing of shades and
the closing of windows to keep the car
pets and draperies from fading should
be discouraged. 1t is better to have
carpets and draperies that are faded
than to have boys and girls with
cheeks that are faded. Roses in the
cheeks are more valuable than roses IN
the carpet.

BIG DRIVE FOR RED CROSS

The Red Cross war council wants one
hundred million dollars for military and
civilian relief at home and abroad dur
ing the present war.
President Wilson, in a formal procla-
nation, has set aside the week from
June is to "a as Red Cross week, and
has made strong appeal to the nation
to rally to this call and, with practical
patriotism, furnish the means by which
this single, experienced organization,
recognized by law and international
convention as the public instrument
atty for this purpose, may carry on i.s
tremendous task.
The machinery for this campaign is
now being carefully organized. The
western committee is headed by John
B. Miller of Los Angeles, and assisting
him are Lawrence c. Phipps, ST., Of
Denver; William IL. Crocker of San
Francisco; Henry l.. Corbett of Port
land; Charles E. Peabody of Seattle;
George G.. Taliaferro of San Antonio,
Texas, and Ford Harvey of Kansas
City, Mo. The western executive see
retary is Lyman l.. Pierce, and the as
soclate secretary is Richard d. Perkins.
Conferences have been held already
in the principal centers-San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Portland, Denver and
Wichita, Kan. At each of these meet.
ings the strongest mon in the commu-
nifty have gladly come forward, Offering
both their time and money. Joseph
Tumulty, secretary to President Viii
son, has wired to hundreds of the lead
ing citizens in the big cities and has
received from them instant and ell
thusiastic promises Of assistance.
A definite program for the canvass
is now being worked out. Teams are
being organized in all tho cities, and
the "drive' will be just as though
as experienced direction can make it.
That the huge sum will be raised with
out difficulty seems assured. OF the
hundred million, the west Is asked 70
raise fifteen millions, and those III
charge of the campaign are confident
that the end of Red Cross week will
see the entire sum subscribed.

impossible to grow anything for sew
eral feet on both sides of the fence

GOATS ARE THRIFTY FEEDERS
Animals Are Easily Raised and Meat
Highly Desirable for Food
Little Capital Needed.

Goats are very thrifty feeders. They
are easily raised and the meat highly
desirable for food. Kids soon reach
the age when they may be sold for the
market or slaughtered for fresh meat.
A few acres of rough land could hard
ly be used any better than for goats.
A small area for pasture crops could be
utilized for producing kids for the
local market. It would not, require
much capital to start on small scale
nor much labor to take care Of the
animals. 1lW a.fcr -.Il

elastic band extends, sometimes in
serted in the crown, and that elastic
band does the work. The hat at the
left has a fabric crown and a braid
brim. Across the front the crown is
supported by four squares of braid,
each finished with a row of fabric
covered buttons. With the removal of
the veil this becomes more than pre-
