FASHION NOTES.

Pastel colors are going to take the
place of the vivid colors that we have
become accustomed to within the past
few years. That is If one can proph-
esy correctly from what Is already
being worn and accepted with much
admiration at Palm Beach and other
winter resorts. There will be corn
yellow and soft nile green. sky blue
and light violet. salmon or apricot
pink and, just plain baby pink--in
short, all the colors will be there,
but they will be in their soft shad

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Covering more miles on the high
ways in "a hours than any other
machine ever built by man, a stand
ard, fully equipped Essex touring car
has set a new worlds record for end
urance.
Running day and night over rough
and frozen Iowa roads, through ten
hours Of snow whipped into drifts by
a bitter wind, this Essex travelled
1861 miles against seemingly impos-
sible handieaps.
During all this time the motor
never faltered, not a single adjust
ment of any kind was made to it and
at the end Of the journey the engine
was running as sweetly as at the be-
ginning.
And this wonderful record was not
made by any specially prepared car
over a track or a speedway. 1t was
made by car which already had
covered more than $1,000 miles and
which had to battle against bad roads
and freezing weather every mile of
the distance.
Remarkable as such an achieve
ment is, it only goes to prove what
10000 owners in all parts of the
world already know-that the Essex
gives greater performance and more
comfort at less cost than have even
been obtained in an Automobile be
I fore.
Let US explain to you in detail the
advanced design which makes such q
performance possible and how it as
sures the same superior efficiency ii

STILL DOING BUSINESS.

This old world is still doing bus
mess at the old stand. Her people
are jogging along at a lively clip,
oblivious of Porta and his direful
representation for last Wednesday.
This sage lost his Astronomical pants
in the shuttle; for Wednesday was
about as fair a day as is on the cal
endar. Incidentally it is said that
'Porta never said It and that he is no
. longer connected with the University
of Michigan.
The end of the world did come for
some people the last week. For in
stance old John Barleycorn took down
his sign and went out of business, but
this occurred ON Tuesday and not
Wednesday. Possibly Porta is of a
convivial turn of mind and fancied
that all things would end whep this
happened. Not only Porta but there
are thousands of men who feel that
the world might as well come to an
end with such bad end for their reg
ular nip. But enough of Porta. He is
just another Of those little meteors
whose fight across the armament Of
publicity caused little stir, only to
fizzle and disappear.
However, we are all thankful.

Neu,ralized Poison Gas.

"Neutralizing ointment" is one of
the latest war inventions. 1t is pub
licly revealed in an official description
of the protective devices against gas
attacks issued to our troops. The
mask, with its contained chemicals
for neutraizing any poisonous fumes
that creep in is familiar. But one so
called gas is liquid and because of
its blistering effect the soldiers have
given 1t the name of mustard gas"
When an area is drenched with the
stuff the menace may persist for many
days. The peril is not from the liquid
itself. Mustard gas burns through the
clothing, and makes painful wounds
where the flesh is reached. The newly
invented ointment must apparently be
rubbed all over the body, rs well as on
face and hands, to prepare the sol
dier when the enemy's bursting shells
are spraying this horrible gas about.

IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN LOCATING WELLS
Carefully Avoid Close Proximity
to Source Of Pollution.
Water Carrying Germs Of Infection 10
Cause Of Typhoid Fever, Tubereu-
iosis and Other Ailments
Some Safeguards.

prepared by tho United States Depart

Convenience and first cost-not sani.

factors in locating thousands of farm
wells. On the average three out of
four wells are within IS feet of the
back door of the house and In the di-
rection of the barn.
Close proximity to barnyards, pig
pens. sink drains, out buildings, and
other sources of pollution seriously inn

maladies such as hog cholera, anthrax

Wells cannot be located in all cases
so that there may not be some pollu-
ton, but the great safeguards are clean
ground and as wide separation as pos
sible from the probable channels of
any impure drainage. 1t is not enough
that n well or spring be so, 100 or $50
feet from source of filth or merely
upon higher ground, although even
moderate remoteness and elevation of
the source of supply are desirable.
Given porous or gravelly ground. seamy
ledge, or long-continued pollution of
one plat of land, the zone of contain
ination is likely to extend long dis
tances, particularly in downhill direc-
tions, and at such times as water sup
plies are lowered by drought or heavy
pumping. Only when the surface of
the water in a well or spring is actu-
ally at n higher level at all times than
any neas-by source of filth is there pos
tive assurance of safety.

Method of Carrying Terrace Water Un-

eliminate the steep, uncultivated
strips that interfere with farming op-
erations and often are seed beds for
weeds.
The bench terrace is usually built
with the reversible hillside plow by
which the soil is always thrown down
the hill. This is done for number
of years until the bench becomes level
or the slope of the bench is slightly
reversed. A ridge of earth is kept at
the outer edge of the bench to prevent
the surface water from running from
one bench to the next bench below.
Bench terraces should be level; that
is, they should have no fall along the
direction of their length. Before the
bench between the terrace embank-
ments is made level by plowing the
soil down the slope the surface wa
ter is held above the shoulder at
the outer side of the bench. Part of
the water may move off slowly to the
ends of the terrace and the rest will
either sink into the soil or evaporate.
A heavy sod should be kept on the
shoulder and embankment to prevent
erosion should the shoulder be over
topped due to heavy rain.
When n bench terrace is first start
ed, the shoulder should be built about
one foot high and three feet wide at
the base. These dimensions can be re-
duced some ms the leveling down of the
bench proceeds. When the bench has
become level 1t is only necessary to
maintain a small shoulder about one
half foot high at the outer side of the
bench. This will prevent possible
damage to the terrace due to an exces-
sively heavy rain.
The distance between the terraces Is
governed by the vertical distance or
drop and not by the distance along the
surface of the ground. The distance
along the surface of the ground VIII
be different for different slopes of the
land where the same vertical distance
between the terraces is used.
The proper drop or vertical distance
between bench terraces depends large
ly on how much care and attention is
given to the terraces, the greater the
drop the more care required. The
greater the drop the higher will be the
embankment. and 1t Is much more diff
cult to maintain high than n low en-
bankment. The best practice lndi-
Gates that the drop between bench ter
races should never be less than three
feet nor more than six feet. although
q drop of eight feet has been used
successfully on steep slopes where the
terraces are carefully maintained.

SALT OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Little chore That Is Often Neglected
During the Summer Season
Regulates Digestion.

A little chore that is of great i'm
portance in summer and one that is
often neglected, is that of sailing the
stock that is on pasture. Cattle, sheep
and horses on pasture will consume
more salt If they have a chance to do
so than they will when receiving dry
feed. Salt acts as regulator of the
digestive system and is necessary for
proper growth and development, espe-
cially of the young growing animals.
