SWEEPING AND BUSTING

tBy U. S. Public Health Service,
 In sweeping room raise as little dust as possible, because dust, when breathed in. irritates the nose and throat and may set up catarrh Some of the dust breathed is carried to the lungs. making portions of them black and hard and useless.
 To prevent raising dust in sweeping bare floors use moist sawdust. When the room is carpeted. moisten news paper, tear 1t into small scraps and scatter these over the carpet. In sweeping. brush these scraps of paper along with the broom and they will catch most of the dust and hold it fast, just as the sawdust does on bare floors. Do not have the paper or saw dust dripping wet-only moist.
 Tn dusting room. do not use a feather duster. because this does not remove the dust from the room. but only brushes 1t into the air. Use soft dry cloths to dust with, and shake them frequently out of the window 1; or use slightly moistened cloths aud rinne them out in water when fin- ished. Tn this way the dust can be gotten out of the room.

PLAID UMBRELLAS FOR FALL
CoIorsd silks and Novelties Hold Prominent Place; Few Changes
 in the Handles.

Plaid silks are perhaps the most striking note in the fall line of um- brellas. Colored silks, which have at tained such confluence in this field, remain leading favorites for fall, but the novelties are plaids and stripes, with plaisis leading.
 Practically no black silk umbrellas for women are being shown, although, of course, they remain the height of fashion for men.
 Umbrella handles manifest few changes for the coming season. The pyroxy1in handles, which have beeen so fashionable for the past year. still continue to be favorites.
 There are some novelties being shown in carved wooden handles, bird and animal heads being favored. They are so carefully carved and tinted that although of wood. the feathers, fur or hair seem almost real. These handles have leather carrying loops, club ferrules and pyroxylin tips and

FEARED IT WAS FOR SPITE
Mrs. Green Considerably Relieved When Husband Explained His
 Reasons for Singing

Mir. Green fancied his voice, and hardly ever failed to attend any mu- sicaI evenings that were given in his neighborhood
 On this occasion, however, he was rather nervous; for his wife was going with him for the first, time and she had never heard him sing in public; in fact. she didn't know he had ever done so.
 When the meeting was drawing to a close the chairman stood up and asked If any gentleman would oblige with a song. Green at once climbed upon the platferm and obliged much to his wffe's aisaoyance, If one could accept her expression as criterion of her ceeiings.
 ~Georges' she whispered, when the 'paRr were on their way home, s.what ever made you sing?"
 aWhy. my dear,1 said her husband, -to give pleasure to the other guests. !"
 "Oh. Pm so gladi" sighed Mrs. Green, with great relief T thought you were taking vengeance on me for making you wait 20 minutes for your dinner this evening. London Tit Bits.

FOR THE PORCH AND GARDEN
Furniture and Accessories Suitable for Outdoor Use and Which
 Resist Weather.

"Of all the furnishing problems that confront the home decorator, none is more fascinating than that of converr- ing the porch or terrace into charm ing outdoor room to which family and guests alike instinctively grayitate,f ' writes Winnifred Fales in June Good Housekeeping.
 'aThe undertaking Is delightfully."- easy. for nowadays appropriate furni- lure, fabrics. and accessories are cb- tafpable in such limitless variety that the only real difficulty is to keep a reasonably tight hold on the purse strings. instead of yielding to the im- pulse to buy every new and enchanting thing that offers.
 eThe modern use of weatEerproof materials and finishes for porch and garden furnishings has done much to encourage outdoor living by making it no longer necessary to drag heavy chairs and tables into the house at the first hint of shower. Far from being injured by rain. the various bas- ket types of furniture are actually fm- proved by it, and even an occasional drenching will do them no harm. In deed. tie accepted cure for rattan and natural willow pieces that have begun to sag and lose their resiiiency is to set them out on the lawn and admin ister copious shower bath with the garden hose. While this remedy is trifie drastic for fiber and willow fur niture that has been stained or paint ed in the ordinary manner. even these types will successfully withstand fog and dampness."

 "Well, I helped with craft of some sort We hoisted wheat into her main hatch. and straw came out over her bows, while the other stuff poured in- to bags hung onto her stern.

 'True, true." said MT. Moon. "Yes. fancy 1t is just as well only MT. Moon has half-bfrthdays for MT. Moon wants no presents. only he wants smiles from grown-ups and children and wrinkles from his friends, the stars"

This probably as much as anything else will give some idea of the state Of mind of the Western Canada farm CT, as he watches the tally from the thrashfng machine while his wheat is being carried to the elevator. From all sections of the country, the most optimistic reports are re- ceived, the local and city papers are filled with reports from twenty to thir- ty bushels of wheat to the acre, while in some places oats are showing a rec ord of as high as 120 bushels to the acre
 Referring to Saskatchewan, it is con- fidently expected that the wheat yield l will be nearly 125 million bushels. Heavy rains which fell in districts that did not promise so well in July, had greatly improved the prospects there, and there is no question that paying yields will be produced. The yields in the eastern part of the province may not show to the advantage that will those of the western part. but too much cannot be said of this. for ft Is the results as they come from the machine. and often these prove happily deceptive.
 There is now every reason to believe that the wheat crop of the three prai-. rife provinces will approach 250 mfl- lion bushels.
 Alberta will exceed the 70 million bushels that had been looked for. The higher than it has been in the province In any of the last four years. The Department of Agriculture in a recent report gave the opinion that it cannot fall below twenty-two bushels to the acre, and that it might easily pass the twenty-five bushel mark. Most of the wheat in the province when the report was written. stood well up to three feet high, and on some fields was still higher. The re- port goes on that in parts of South ern Alberta forty and fifty bushels to the acre yields will not be uncommon, while there will be good many yields of from thirty to thirty-five bushels to the acre.
 Tn the northwest part of the prov- lnce. in the country surrounding Bat- tleford and adjacent to the Canadian National Railway line to Lioydminster. and south the crops are excellent and the yield will be heavy.
 A larger than average wheat crop is being thrashed in Manitoba. It has been estimated that the total yield of the three provinces will not be less than 225,OOO. GOO bushels, and it may be that somewhere between 250,000.- GOO and 30OOOO,OO0 bushels will be the final figure.
 Oats is good crop in all three provinces This crop has also grown rapidly during the last two or three weeks. Excepting from those fields which were sown late for green feed, the yield will be- heavy and the grain excellent Barley and rye are above the average. There was sufficient help to harvest the erop.--Advertisement-

TRIMMING IN USE
Wealth of Embroidery Takes Precedence Over Silhouette.
Lavish Use of Decoration Raises Question of Where Needlework
 Is to Come From.

The trimming takes precedence over the silhouette, asserts a prominent fashion authority. This is the thing late models. Many of the old forms of trimming are cast aside for em- broideries, which are used so lavishIy that we wonder where all the work CTS are coming from to turn out so much of this needlework.
 It is unfortunate to run to an extrava- gant use of any mode of ornamenta- tion. No one can gainsay the deco rativeness of beautiful embroidery. but it, like anything else. becomes commonplace when too extensively used
 One reason for using so much trim ming may be because the silhouette has changed so slightly designers have felt that this Is the only way of offering something new. Straightline dresses are covered with embroidery. the stitches being placed so closely to- gether that it is almost impossible to discern the patterns. Coats and hats show quite as much embroidery as do the frocks.
 It is surprising to see such a costly use Of trimming directly following so many movements toward economy. It would seem that any effort toward economy in. dress is like swimming against the current. With what meas ure of success these dresses will meet it is difficult to say. They must neces- sarily be expensive with so much needlework ornamenting them.
 Very unusual are the things used to work out embroidery designs. 4 che

"say Good Night" imagine what a M star would do if it had to go to bed in bed instead of in the sky where all night long it can dream behind the clouds if it is a cloudy night, or If it is a fine night we can beam and shine and keep wide awake,
 q simply cannot imagine what star would do if 1t wasn't in the sky. But why do you seem so amused at people sleeping out-of-doors?"
 You cannot understand that:" asked Mir. Moon.
 'T cannot understand it." said the star. .for of all creatures I should say you would be the last to be amused at such thing
 'I am amused" said MT. Moon, ''be- cause they think 1t is such a lark and such a treat. I've seen them down on wonder porch getting ready, to go to bed and they're so happy about it. They all simply love going to bed. And they look up at me and say goodnight to me. and oh, they are so very happy. .
 But does that amuse you? asked the star.
 'Tt amuses me-" said Mr. Moon, because as I said they consider it such lark and such treat. Now here am and here you are and here are the other stars and we're so used to being out-of-doors at night that we don't think it is any treat at<all. Of course we would be miserable if we were indoors, but we cannot feel being out-of-doors is lark because it is where we always are. So they do amuse me as they laugh over sleeping out-of-doors and as they talk over the great. great treat 1t is. ;"
 "Oh." said the star, T see now why you are so amused"

Straw Braid Trimn1ino.

A very odd trimming is seen on some of the new satin models. It is a bristly straw braid sewn to the frock in conventional design very much after the manner Of old-fash- toned braiding. The effect is extreme ly novel. By combining embroidery done in heavy black silk threads with this straw braid great elaboration is obtained.
