is the advice given recently to group
of interested women by the leader of a
new health cult. Take the sun for

This sounds like sensible advice, but
the leader did not seem quite clear in
explaining just how to bring 1t all about.
One of the listeners confessed afterward
that she spent a whole evening doping
the thing out. and the following are her
deductions for the coming warm sea-
son:
In selecting clothing for warm weather
choose that which is light in weight.
loosely woven, washable and made in
comfortable models. in fashions to suit
the wearers own particular style. Hats
should also be light and cool in ma
terials and appearance. The modern
sweater solves the light, warm wrap

care should be bestowed on the feet,

stockings, for the feet are apt to be
very tender moving about on hot pave
ments.
Making Various Changes.

meats. thick soups. heating cereals. pas

serts. egg and cheese dishes. which give
the needed change.

changes in her home surroundings as
possible. This will relieve her of care.

Owners of jack pine and pin oak
lands and other light sandy soils have
had their troubles. Sandy areas which
have "run out" after they had been
cleared for only a short time, have
been eyesores to many, many farmers
of the state. And they still are in
some cases.
Some farmers gave up the reclama-
ton of sandy soils as a hopeless job.
AS one farmer expressed it, II couldn't
hold the sand in place if | staked it
down, so I let it go altogether" Other
farmers stuck to it, and tried to find
vavs in which to make crop produc-
ton profitable on these soils. They
did not expect to get yields as high as
they could on their heavier soils, but
they believed that better management
of the light soils would bring results.
And it did They learned that most
of these soils needed lining, firm
seed bed, and more humus and fertili-
ty. There still remained the problem
of finding crops that could best be
grown on the light soils.
But now. farmers who have sandy
