DISMISSED IN SHORT ORDER
Simple Method by Which Mr.. Peter
Simons Got Rid of Undesirable
Applicants for Position.

In a handsome house that over
looked the river lived Mr.. Peter
SimOns. His hOusekeeper Deborah
Twycross, was as much Of a magnate
in her own way as he. Mr.. Peter was
very high-handed with her, but he
stood in awe of her, too. Still he never
would let her engage his second serv-
ant, privilege that she coveted.
In his younger days a "hired girl"
received as wages So a week if she
could milk; $3.50 if she could not. BY
the time Mr.. Peter was established in
stately bachelor housekeeping no girl
was any longer expected TO milk, and
few knew how. But when engaging
servant, if he did not like the appli-
cant's looks, Mr.. Piper would say:
"Can you milk?"
Of course she could not, and there
the matter would end. He never asked
girl whose looks he liked if She
could milk. = Peter Simons, in "A
Northern Countryside"

NEW CLOTHES

Invoice your wardrobe care
fully and be sure you really need
every article you plan to buy.
For the articles to be replaced,
choose material in garments
which will harmonic with the
rest of your wardrobe. It is eco
nomical to buy fewer garments
at a time and to buy the best ma
terial one can afford.
In ready-Inade garments,
choose conservative styles that
they may be worn long time.
Select garments appropriate to
the use they are intended for and
suitable to your individuality. It
is economical to limit the num-
Der and variety of colors in your
wardrobe.
Standard materials of good
grade, such as wool serge, broad
cloth, flannel, crepe de chine,
gingham, dimity, and percale,
are economical because they
wear well and are never out Of
style.
If you have the time and abil-
ity, it is economy to make your
clothes or part Of them.
In buying ready-to-wear I'M
dergarments give preference to
simplicity in style and good
workmanship, because they wear
better and are easier to launder.
One garment Of good material
will outlast two cheaper ones
but it may be economy to buy
cheaper material for garments
worn only occasionally.
Buy after the rush season. Es-
innate the quantity Of material
required before buying. Select
a garment that will serve two
purposes If possible.

Use Apples Freely.

The only fresh fruit many families
in the North have during the cold
months is the apple. Different ways
of utilizing this kitchen standby are
sure of a welcome from the cook.
The department of agriculture sug-
gests the following ways of serving the
apple:
Fresh apples may be stuffed with
sausage and then baked; sliced and
fried in fat to serve with meats, or
served raw ia salads.
Canned, dried or stewed apples may
be varied greatly by changing the fla
vorS used.
Canned apples make delicious ad-
dition to custards or souff1es, adding a
piquant flavor.
Canned, dried or fresh, they form
an acceptable basis for Brown Betty
made with crumbs.
Fresh or canned, the fruit may be
utilized in short cakes, and in apple
sauce.

rience, some being professors of In
ternational reputation. The results
of experiments and tests are free and
available to all. Educational oppor-
tunities for farmers are the concern
of the government and appreciation
is shown by the number of farmers
who attend the free courses.
Agriculture in Canada has reached
high standard, Notwithstanding
which lands are low in price.
Thus upon the United States and
Canada for many years will rest the
great burden of feeding the world.
With free interchange of travel, diff
culties of crossing and recrOssing re-
moved, Canada may look for a speedy
resumption of the large influx of set
tiers from the United States which
prevailed previous to the war. Dur
ing the war period there was dread
of something, no one seemed to know
what. If the American went to Can
ada he might be conscripted, put in
prison, or in his attempt to cross
the border he would meet with innu-
merable difficulties, most of which,
of course, was untrue. These I'M.
truths were circulated for a purpose
by an element, which, it was discov-
cred, had an interest in fomenting
and creating trouble and distrust be-
tween two peoples whose language
and aims in life should be anything
but of an unfriendly character. The
draft law Of the United States, adopt
ed for the carrying out of the high
purposes had in view by the United
States, kept many from going to Can
ada during the period of the war. The
citizen army of the United States
was quickly modified, and contained
large percentage of the young men
from the farms. In this way many
were prevented from going to Can
ada.
That is all over now. There are
no real or imaginary restrictions;
there is no draft law to interfere.
On the contrary, there is an un-
fashionable depth of good feeling, and
the long-existing friendship is strong
er than ever. This has been brought
about by the knowledge of what has
been done in the recent great strug-
gle, each vying with the other in
giving credit for what was accom-
plished. In thought and feeling, in
language, in aims in life, in work, in
desire to build up a new world, there
has been bred a kinship which is as
indissoluble as time itself.-Adver-
tiSement.

the uses which have been made of the
ing dishes, they now are made into
children's dresses, undergarments,
aprons, and other garments and attrac-
tive articles of wear are the result.
The thrift of the French has always
been admired. This national charac-
teristic has been attained in part by
their struggle to pay the huge indem-
nifty exacted from them by the Ger
mans after the Franco-Prussian war.
Americas opportunity now comes to
cultivate this same virtue. To help re-
duce our war debt we must increase
our savings by individual sacrifice and
economy.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that | know Of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success OF DIR.
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, it fulflls ai-
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
Dr.,Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. T., ana
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale
at all drug stores.-Adv.

"You must be the son of my old

try the Eddies and Johnnies are being

carded clothing which of late years
has been given or thrown away, and
the Susies and Marys display with
pride the dress mother made from her
year-before-last skirt" Thrift has be-
come the rule almost overnight. The
old saw, ga penny saved is penny
earned" has taken on fresh meaning
to many in the past year.
With those whose incomes are q
thousand dollars or less economists
state 40 to 60 per cent has had to go
for food during these war years. Rents
have gone up too in many places, so
that often the only place where a cut
can be made in expenses is in the cloth
ing column. Realizing that there are
many who. anxious to save by utiliz-
ing old materials, are unable to do so
because of lack of knowledge, the home
demonstration agents under the extern
sion service Of the department of agri-
culture in connection with the state
agricultural colleges have been holding
classes in clothing conservation in all
parts of the country. This work has
evoked marked response from women

Fashion Shows Popular Events.
Proud of their efforts and anxious
to have their neighbors profit by their
experience, the pioneers in this work
have put on fashion shows" where
parades are staged in the manner Of
the big store parades at the opening
OF clothing seasons. However, the
| models in these up-to-date fashion
shows wear garments remodeled from
old material.
The campaign has been especially
strong in Iowa and Nebraska. Stores,
halls, private homes and libraries have
been utilized for the exhibits and as
places in which to hold the "clinics."
To the "clinics" those who are inter-
ested bring garments and leftovers and
discuss with the expert in charge the
best way of putting them to new uses.
| In Cerro Gordo county, Iowa, an es-
| pecially interesting display Of gar
