The Tailor Suit

The tailor suit, which was rather
neglected last winter. has taken on a
new lease Of life. When as now one
is forced to travel with limited lug
gage there is no more practical cos
tune. A fresh blouse easily changes
the appearance of the frock and
brightens 1t in the twinkling Of an eye.
For tall, slender women this seasons
ubiquitous striped and checked weaves
are smart. She, however, who fears
to look about should cling to plain
black, navy and elephant gray mate
rails.

REVENGE VS.. COMMON
SENSE,

If a certain individual was III
debted to you to the tune of fifty
thousand dollars. and his only
chance to pay his Indebtedness
would be to succeed III his bust
ness undertakings, you'd you do
everything in your power to make
a business failure of him? No
indeed, let US to take the case OF
Germany as an illustration; di-
rectly she does not owe us a
great deal; but her Indebtedness
to the allies will amount up into
billions of dollars: how many bill
lion, no one can tell as yet; and
the allies owe us a few billion. f
the allies can succeed in making
Germany pay them the huge
amount necessary to reconstruct
their torn up countries, so they
will be in far better shape to pay
their indebtedness to us. SO this
boycott business sounds awful
childish to us; it would be some
thing on a par with a planter who
would have laborer's hands cut
off and then tell him to 90 and dig
ditch. We are not disposed to
be sentimental as far as Germany
is concerned. and we are not writ
ing this editorial because of any
great feeling of compassion for
Germany; but we do feel that the
time has come when we must ban
ish hysteria and face the prob
lens before us in the light of conl-
mon sense instead Of the ever
fiercely blazing torch of hatred.
And is it not punishment enough
for Germany to realize that nearly
all of her national income must
be devoted to the rebuilding as
far as possible, countries she had
so ruthlessly devasted? We
think so. SO let us drop this
Boycott" idea, let us not do any
thing to lessen her income, but
take tie proper steps to.ssee that
income IS applied by Germany to
retrieving her many errors.-Na-

GET A FAIR PRICE FOR
YOUR TIMBER.

The Texas Extension Service
tells of two Texas farmers, who
because of a lack of any real
knowledge of the value of their
timber. sold it for less than 10 per
cent of it's real value-about 30
cents per thousand feet instead OF
the 81 or S. it was actually worth
The Southern Agriculturist tells
of a simbilar sacrifice of valuable
timber as follows:
"Just the other day a young
man was telling us how his father
sold lot Of crossties at 10 cents
each, standing, and how they were
sawed and marketed at cost Of
not over Is to 20 cents each. They
sold for 80 cents each. The loss
on the lot sold was several hun
bred dollars"
Such things have occurred
thousands Of times all over the
South, and they will continue just
so long as the seller is uniformed
as to the value of his timber. If
you have any timber you con-
template selling, write to your
state forester, your state extern
sion service or the United States
Forestry Bureau, Washington,
D. c., for the information that
will enable you to place a fair
valuation on it. Unless you do,
there is a probability that you will
get no more than a fraction of its
real value.-The Progressive Far

CLEANING HAIRBRUSHES.

1t is impossible to overestimaye
the danger to hair of unclean
combs and brushes. Such toilet
instruments should be cleaned
and disinfected once week, and
there is a way to do it so as not
to injure them. The brush and
comb must first be quickly
washed, then dipped in a water
with boric acid and then summed
and aired. An expensviely backed
brush may be cleaned by dipping
the bristles alone in a strong So
luton of ammonia and water.
After this run hot and cold water
alternately over this part of the
brush, shake it vigorously and pur
it, bristles down, over a rest OF
some sort to dry in the open air
If the bristles of the brush have
lost their stiffness or elasticity,
treat them to an ammonia and salt
bath. First wash the britles in
hot water to which ammonia has
been added and then dip directly
into water to which salt has been
added. Dry the brush, with
bristles up. in the open air.
Borax also cleans brush well.
Dissolve the 'borax in hot water
and dip in the bristles. Rinse
thoroughly when clean and dry
with bristles up in open air.
Combs can be cleaned with borax
or ammonia, blu tammonia some
times discolors colored celluloid
combs.
Another admirable method Of
cleaning hair brushes is to use
dry bran. Naturally this method
is easier on the brushes. Rub the
bran in thoroughly, as you would
rub orris root into the air. Then
shake and rub it out. 1t will
take out all grease. Bran can be
safely used with brushes having
bristles set in rubber, which can
not be cleaned with water.

HOW TO PREVENT SMUT IN
GRAIN.

It is estimated that the loss
from smut in grain in the United
States is around 25,0O0,OO0 bush
els per year. The larger part of
this loss is inexcusable, because of
the fact that the disease can be
very largely eliminated by treat
ing the seed with formaldehyde
before planting.
Formaldehyde is comparatively
inexpensive and can be had from
almost any drug store. Use a
pint Of it to 40 gallons Of water,
or if only small amount Of seed
is to be treated, put two table
spoonfuls in two and one-half
gallons Of water. Wet the grain
thoroughly. This can be done
with comparative ease by spread
ing the grain out in this layers on
floor and sprinkling it with the
solution. Stir the grain during
the sprinkling So as to be certain
to moisten every seed. As soon
as the sprinkling is completed
rake the grain up in piles and COW
er. using sacks or other material
with which the smutty grain has
not come in contact. Allow the
seed to remain covered for two
hours. then plant at once, or if
this cannot be done, spread it out
and allow to dry and plant as soon
as possible. The treatment should
not be given until just before one
is ready to plant.-L. A. Niven. in

By ALISSA FRANC

TNEW of US realize that during
the recent epidemic of influenza
the boys of our armies were
taken off the boats and brought into
the city on stretchers by the hundreds,
to die, or recover if they were able
to overcome in their grim struggle with
death. Most of them had been taken
i'll in midocean, and by the time they got
to shore they generally had pneumonia.
The majority were taken to the Will
lard Parker Hospital for contagious dis
eases, where there were two thousand
of these cases at time throughout the
duration of the epidemic. The herosm
displayed by the women on the staff,
aided by the Home Defence nurses who
gallantly stepped into the breach, was in
deed the heroism of war-a heroism
that lived silently on day after day with
out the fanfare of trumpets, without
even the feminine comfort of a becom-
ing uniform; for what could be more
hideous than the rough-dry, i'll fitting
garb which is donned in hospital for
contagious diseases?
