This is the day Of brevity. The

Ger abbreviates potatoes" to "spuds"
and condenses crackers" to "crax."
The butcher writes "PC" when he

Likewise, the sport writer's character

But abbrevis tons are not confined

HOW THE SQUIRREL HELPS
Uncle Sam Needs Seeds of Douglas
Fir and Knows Where to
Find Them.

Tree seed can't be bought in large
quantities in the market. To restock
the huge forests which are demolished
every year, Uncle Sam needs the seeds
of the Douglas fir, western yellow
pine, Engelmann spruce, lodge pole
pine, not by the pound, but literally
by the ton.
The government needs men, from
two to six weeks every fall, TO gather
seed. When the call goes out, lumber
jacks, college men, hoboes and former
convicts drift into the camps and work
side by side, gathering huge stores Of
the precious seeds. Through expert
ence they have found that their rich
est sources are the cunningly hidden
squirrel boards. The squirrel is canny;
he always picks the very best Of cones
for his winters store.--The Nations

Dinner and evening gowns, perhaps
as the result of reaction after the
restraint of war times, have swung to
the other extreme and are as elabO-
rate as ingenuity can make them, and
rich beyond anything that has gone
before for many year. Cloth of
gold and silver, satins with gold or
silver figures scattered over their sur
faces, brocades, rich embroideries
studded with jewels, laces and nets
that are a mass of twinkling sequins,
fringes of ali kinds, and always more
gold and silver cloth, entice those who
are looking for regal things to choose
from. Metallic threads are woven in
with silk in all the lovely evening
shades so that rose and silver, tur-
quoise and gold, nile green and silver
make wonderful shimmering cloths.
Wherever fashionables foregather there
will be much glittering this winter.
And these rich fabrics are not mo-
nopolized by the full-fedged women of
society. The younger set is allowed
them as the foundation for frocks,
usually yelled with tulle. Artificial
flowers deck out pretty dance frocks
and sparkling bands of sequins in all
colors are used on tulle to match in
color. For older women ostrich plumes
enrich gowns where one might look
for flowers, and are used in the eve

The following simple recipes have
no harmful ingredients and will ac-
complish results as well as ready
mixed remedies for the same ailments.
An Astringent Cream.
A ELECTROMAGNETIC astringent
cream is made from four. ounces OF
mutton tallOw, one and a quarter
ounces of glycerin, One-half dram
of tincture of benzOin, quarter of a
dram Of spirits of camphor, one-eighth
of dram of powdered alum, one-quar-
ter of dram of Russian iSinglass and
.One-half an ounce of rose water. The
rose water is warmed in a china cup
set in hot water and the isinglass is
dissolved in it. The mutton tallow,
which has previously been tried out
at gentle heat and added to the gly-
cerin, is then blended with the rose
water, and the other ingredients are
added while the mixture is being
beaten. This makes a cream which is
astringent, Tightening the skin, with
out allowing it to become flabby, as
often happens when one is reducing
flesh.
Receding Gums.
Good teeth are requisite for both
health and good looks. Go to dentist
| and have the tartar removed from I'M
der and around the gums, then use
table salt on the gums several times
a day. Scrub the teeth downward,
never crosswise. The teeth should be
| cleaned before breakfast, after each
| meal and before retiring.
For Slight Scar.
Spirits of camphor, touching the
skin with it twice a day, will some
times eradicate the spots left from
pimples. The liquid should be gently
rubbed in.
To Remove Corns.
Salicyclic acid. / dram; trim the
corn with very sharp knife or razor
blade. Apply the acid; cover with a
piece Of court plaster. In three days
remove the plaster and the corn will
come with it. Soft corns may be cured

Breakfast Linen.

Colored breakfast linen is in favor.
Square cloths which hang only a few
inches over the edge of the table and
small napkins, about IA inches square,
are either of colored linen or else
are bordered with color. Some in sets
show border wreaths Of red roses,
some show red roses with bright green
leaves. They suggest breakfast sets
of English china with it's gay colors
and stiff figures. The all-colored sets
show pink, blue or yellow flowers on
tan or gray linen.
