FOR SPRING WEAR
Brighter Fabrics Used in After
War Designs.
Garments Being Made Fancier, Will
Require a Greater Amount of
Material Than Formerly.

Following the convention of the Ma
tional Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufac-
turers' association in Cleveland, O., the
committee on designs prepared styles
for the coming spring which are of
great import to the manufacturers of
dress and coat fabrics and dealers in
trimmings and other accessories. The
designs outlined for the coming season
were prepared without the necessary
wartime thought which called for con-
servation in every possible way. This
means that greater yardage will, in
most instances, be consumed, and as
the garments are made fancier, getting
away from the former straight, plain
lines, the additional trimmings needed
will result in materially increasing
their many unusual touches of color !;
of such merchandise. For suits, braid
will be extensively used. Belts will be
quite commonly worn.
The report of the design and model
committee reads in the main as fol-
lows:
"Suits-There is such a variety of
suit styles for spring that women will
be able to find expression of their
own individuality. Smart and youth
full are the short, loose-hanging box
models.
Many Of these suits are gracefully
trimmed with braid, cording or en-
broidery; others are more simple of
outline and are worn with white or
bright colored vests or vestees, max
ing a most attractive contrast One of
the predominating features of these
tailor-made suits is graceful, long.
rolling collar so fashioned to display
smart vestees or blouses, which are sc
becoming and fascinating. AS sport
clothes are timely, much dash an6
smartness is given in novelty belts anG
I! partial belts, making an attractive
means of fastening. Large pecket:
and convertible collars add beauty an(
distinction to this type of garment.
"Skirts-The skirts for spring will
be buin on youthful lines, not too tigh
and having the appearance of taperins
at the footline. There are man,
smart, novel cuts that accentuate thi
effect. These skirts are worn abou
seven inches from the floor.
"Coats-A new silhouette has mad
its appearance. This silhouette find
it's expression in the dolman coats an
capes, which are built on 1oose-hangin
lines, tapering slightly at the bottom.
"Many other new and attractiv
means of fastening are being displayed
also many new belted effects. Th
collars are especially noteworthy wit
their many unusual touches of colo
collars that fasten over artisticall,
scarf collars, shawl collars, each typ
charming in outline and design"

BUILD OR REPAIR ICE HOUSE
Plentiful Supply of Ice on Hot Sum-
mer Days Means Comfort in
House and Saving in Dairy.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
Of course, you're planning to have
plenty of ice next summer. 1t will be
mighty helpful On those hot days in
JuA-comfort in the home and saving
in the dairy.
Are you ready? Is the ice house in
good repair, or will you find, when a
good freeze comes that you have no
fAt place to store ice? 1t will be to
your advantage to spend some of your
spare time now in getting the ice
house in shape. Repair the sides and
see that the roof doesn't leak.
If you haven't built an ice house,
this is the time to do so. Don't be
without ice next summer. It's expen.
sive and inconvenient to depend on
neighbors or haul from town. You
can build a good ice house. If you
want to know how, write to the United
States department of agriculture

ART OF MIRRORING VELVETS
Hot Iron and Steady Hand Necessary,
as Material Must Be Stroked on
Right Side.

Mirrored velvet is so much in vogue
that a word of explanation as to the
home process may be helpful. Any
ordinary piece of velvet may be mir
rored with the proper care. All that is
necessary is a hot iron and steady
hand, for the velvet must be stroked
with the iron, on the right side, at
regular intervals. The iron must be
kept moving quickly and in the same
direction, in order to insure smooth
and mirror-like surface. The amateur
would do well to practice for few
moments with an old piece of velvet,
before attempting to work with her ac-
tual materials. The process is not
difficult and, if carefully done, will
save the extra expense charged for the
finished product. Mirrored velvet hats
are pretty, when trimmed with che
mile or ostrich feather trimming, and
a fancy braid of crocheted chenille is
another attractive finish in the mir
rored hat.

NAVY BLUE FOR SPRING WEAR
Brilliant Innings, Striped Vests, Braid
and Buttons in Gay Array Among
Things Forecast.

It is said that fully 80 per cent of
the spring suits will be in that favored
color of all well-dressed women-navy
blue. 1t is further prophesied, how
ever, states a writer in the Philadel-
phia Record, that gay touches in the
way of colorful Innings and bright
overcollars will relieve any somber-
ness. Many Of them will be in wash
materials, chiefly stripes.
Braid trimmings will be in evidence,
as will also buttons covered with the
fabric. Link buttons, by the way, fab
ric covered or bone, will be used in the
cuffs, quite an odd and refreshing idea
for suits.
The lines, it is prophesied, will be
little different from the present sill
houette, except, perhaps, the box lines
of some of the hip-length models.
Straight and box lines will predomi-
nate generally. A few chicken" mod

ment OF Agriculture.)
The soy bean can be utilized to ad-
vantage as pasture for all kinds of
stock, the most profitable method, per-
haps, being to pasture with hogs, sup
plementing the corn ration. This is
especially desirable when the harvest
ing is interfered with by bad weather,
lack of labor, or other causes, and
when the crop is grown for soil i'm
provement. In this way the crop is
profitable not only from the stand
point of feeding value, but also in the
increase of soil fertility due to the
manure and refuse vines. Hogs great
ly relish the bean plant, especially
the ripening pods and seed, and a
considerable part of the growth of
young hogs may be made with soy
bean pasture. Animals ready for fat
tening may be fitted for market much
more rapidly if soy beans are used
to supplement the corn ration.
Test in Alabama.
In pasturage experiments conduct
ed at the Alabama agricultural eS-
pertinent station soy beans, peanuts,
chufas, and sorghum were compared
as paSturage Tor hogs. 1t was found
that when corn alone was fed, 100
pounds of pork cost $7.63; when fed
a two-thirds ration Of corn and pas
tured ON chufas in addition, 100
pounds of pork cost $3.50; on sorghum,
$7.T9; on peanuts, $500; and on soy
beans, $2.74. The average gain OF
the pigs each day on the soy-bear
pasture was 1.02 pounds, on the pea
nut pasture 1.01 pounds, on the chufa
pasture OH pound, and on the sor
ghum pasture 037 pound. The same
| station reports three years work iT
| feeding 105 hogs to determine the
value of soy-bean pasture as compared
with other feeds, the most profitable
quantity of corn as supplement, ano
the effect of the soy-bean forage OF
the quality of the pork. 1t was fount
that when corn was used alone the
average daily gain for each hog wal
0.375 pound, at a cost of 7.61 cents
| When soy-bean pasture was grazet
with one-fourth, one-haIf, and three
fOurths ration of corn the averag
daily gains were raised to 1.102, 1.006
and 1929 pounds, respectively, ant
the cost of pork reduced to 2.59, 3.3e
and BIT cents, respectively. One acr
of soy-bean pasture afforded grazini
for 10 hogs for 80 days with one
fourth ration of corn, 4S days with
one-half ration, and 60 days with
three-fourths ration of corn. TIL

Weekly Health Talks
The Many Mysteries
of Nature
BY L. w. BOWER. N. D..

Yo, can. take an onion seed and pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower OF
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium "a dangerous, habit-forming
drug), or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation. No
scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every
thing growing out of the ground seems in
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned 1t all
through treating thousands of cases. The
result of his studies was a medicine called
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature SURELY intended for backaehe, head
ache. weakening drains, bearing-down
pains. periodical irregularities, pelvic in
dammations, and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages of life. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made of
lady's slipper root, black cohosh root, uni
corn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape root. Women who take this stand
ard remedy know that in DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription they are getting a
safe woman's tonic so good that druggists
everywhere sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no mar
cotic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whisky
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out of his remedies.

TO MAKE CLOTH LOOK NEW
Sizing Is Important and Too Much
Stiffening Will Spoil Appearance
of the Material.

To have fabrics, after laundering,
possess their original appearance, care
must be taken with eolored materials
that they do not fade, and with white
materials that they remain snow
white. Aside from this, suggests the
department of agriculture, much de-
pends on the sizing of cloth. Too
much stiffening spoils its appearance
and too little is quite as bad.
Most housekeepers use starch for
stiffening ordinary clothing. Starch
keeps the clothes clean longer and also
acts as an absorbent for stain, thus
saving wear on the fiber by making
excess friction in laundering unnec-
essary. Manufacturers add other sub.
stances besides starch to their finished
mixture and their practices have beer
adopted in home laundry work witt

total value Of pork produced on each
acre of soy-bean pasture varied from

Kentucky Experiment.
The Kentucky agricultural expert
ment station, in a series of expert
ments with soy-bean pasture for hogs,
found that it was not profitable to hog
down soy beans (grain) unless a sup
Elementary feed is given. The results
showed, however, that it was highly
prof able to hog down soy beans if
supp iomentary feed, such as corn, is
given. The lot of hogs receiving 2
per lent of its weight in cornmeal
dali! produced S25 pounds of pork to
the :cre, at a cost of S4.54 per hun
dred pounds of gain. An acre of soy
beans hogged off with a supplementary
feed of corn produced feed for 10
hogs for 21 days and for 20 hogs for
an additional 21 days. An acre of soy
beans with no corn fed the hogs pro-
duced feed for 10 hogs for 21 days
and for Is hogs for an additional IA
days.
Various methods of seeding are
used when the soy bean is to be util-
lied for pasture purposes. In the
Southern states, especially North
Carolina, where a considerable acre
age is used for hog pasture, from one
and a half to two bushels of seed

Corn and soy beans are sometimes

is often done with corn, or the two
crops may be planted in alternate
rows. For young hogs the beans are
often planted alone Soy-bean pas
ture may be supplied for a period ol
several weeks by planting early, medi
um, and late varieties. Early matur
ing varieties may be sown after small

PARIS TALKS LOW C0IFFURES
Proposed Chanat in Headdress Will
Mean Marked Difference in Sizes

Paris is talking of low coiffures for

launched it will naturally mean tre
mendous difference in head sizes and
probably in styles. If the hair is
worn low on the neck or low on the
back of the head, styles will, Of course,
not be so strictly tailored as when the
hair is worn high and slick.
However, it seems doubtful wheth-
er this style will be launched or if
it is, whether it will be fostered by
the American woman. If the high
collars of fur continue in vogue, then
this style of hairdressing could not
possibly be adopted, but if there is to
be decided change in style from the
more tailored and simple things to
the more feminine modes, then it may
be considered.
