GIVE ILLUSION OF WINDOW
Chicago Mans Ingenious Idea for Inn.
proving Appearance of Room With
out Open-Air Outlets.

A neat little illusion that gives to
an interior room without a window
the appearance of having couple Of
windows has grown out of the hOus-
ing shortage. In one of the remodeled
houses the owner has had a window
frame with glass in it set in the wall.
There is a space of piece of studding
and then a suggestion of blue sky.
Curtains are hung over the window
and a pair of inside shutters partly
closed add to the setting. A plant in
a small pot rests on the window sill
outside the window. The whole is
lighted by electricity, the lamp being
out of sight, outside and above the
window.
The indirect lighting, the window,
the flower and the curtain combine to
destroy the feeling that you are in
a room with no outlet to the open air
and adds a cheerfulness that could be
obtained in no other way.-ChicagO

EMPRESS LOST HER AITCHES
Eugenie's Struggles With Unfamiliar
English Must Have Been Amusing
to Her Hearers.

DIR. Ethel Smyth, the well-known
composer, who was for 80 years an
intimate friend of the late Empress
Eugene, tells the following amusing
story concerning their first meeting ::
"The occasion l am speaking of,

request, at Marlborough hall. She
came out onto the gravel sweep in

any manner l had previously seen,
as she bowed right and left to the
awe-struck field, saying repeatedly:
"'Put on your ats; pray you, put

attention to the stage of growth and to
weather conditions little more trouble
will be experienced in obtaining we'll
cured cowpea hay than clover or al
falfa hay.
The bulletin recommends that cow
pea hay be substituted in the southern
states for much of the hay now being
purchased from the North and West.
Cowpeas alone have not given good
results as "a silage crop. In addition
to the high protein content, the green
vines contain a large proportion of
water, producing watery silage that
keeps poorly and is not we'll relished
by stock. The best silage is obtained
when this crop is grown with corn or
sorghum.
Serve Best for Hogs.
Although pasturing cowpeas is not
thought the best farm practice, under
certain conditions it is advisable and
quite profitable. Any kind of live
stock may be pastured on cowpeas,
but hogs are generally used. The best
time for turning the stock on cowpeas
is when the crop has reached the stage
of maturity thought best for hay.
AS a soiling crop, the cowpea caa
be used advantageously to supplement
crops with less protein, such as corn.
sorghum and millet 1t is used more
as a soil builder than any other legume,
because it is so easily grown, has such
a marked effect upon succeeding crops,
and thrives under q great diversity
of conditions.

The experience and testimony of such

SMALL FRUITS IN ORCHARDS
Blackberries, Dewberries, Strawberries
and Grapes Generally Give Good
Returns.

Small fruits should have a place in
every orchard. For the home fruit
supply, -blackberries, dewberries,
Strawberries, grapes and other small
fruits generally give good account
of themselves, when planted on good
soil and given the proper attention.
A small area of land, set to small
fruits, will often bring in more
revenue than the rest of the farm, pro-
vided, of course, there is a market for
the surplus fruits.

BEST FEED FOR BABY CHICK
Careful Feeding Necessary in Order

ment Of Agriculture)
Baby chicks should not be fed for
from "a to SO hours after Matching,
and will not suffer if given no feed
egg which is absorbed by the chick
when Matching furnishes all the nour-
ishment required during that time.
After the third day they should be fed
four or five times daily for the first
week or ten days, but they should be
given only what they will eat up clean
each time. Overlooking will do more
harm than underfeeding. Greater care
must be used not to overfeed young
chicks that are confined than those
that have free range, as leg weakness
is apt to result in those confined.
The first feed should consist Of
johnnycake or bard-boiled eggs mixed
with stale-bread crumbs or pinhead
oatmeal, using a sufficient amount of
the latter to make dry, crumbly mix
ture. These feeds or combinations of
feeds may be used with good results
for the first week; then gradually sub
stitute for one or two feeds, daily
mixture of equal parts of finely
cracked wheat, cracked corn, and pin
head oatmeal or hulled oats, to which
may be added small quantity of
broken rice, millet, rapeseed, and char
coal, if obtainable. This mixture
makes an ideal ration, say poultry spe
cialists in the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. If corn cannot
be had, cracked kafir corn, rolled or
hulled barley may be substituted. A
commercial chick feed containing
variety of grains may be used instead,
if desired, and can be bought from
most feed dealers.

SLEEPING SICKNESS.
Well Known Surgeon Says 1t Is Not
Serious as Pneumonia.

Washington, d. C.-Danger of
death from sleeping sickness is about
one in a hundred as compared to
pneumonia and the disease has new
er been known in epidemic form,
DR.. j. w. Scherechewsky, assistant
surgeon general, public health SER
vice, and in charge of scientific re-
search, said today.
Despite the notable increase ne
Gently in the number of cases report
ed, he added, there was no cause for
general alarm, as the disease is not
nearly as communicable as pneumon-
ia or many other better known mall
aides" There have been only rare in
stances where a second case has oc-
CURED in the same family.
Probably the best preventative is
a good, healthy condition and proper
living" he continued "Some persons
are probably more susceptible than
OlHtTSy anu tleiC INDY NC SdiIletS VI
the disease, but no way has been
found to discover who they are"
As against the reported 1877 cases
of sleeping sickness in New York
City alone since Jan. l, resulting in
forty-eight deaths, the assistant sur
geon general cited the pneumonia re-
cord there since Jan. of "1.001
deaths out of probably 5000 cases."
A study of some $50 cases Of
sleeping sickness in this country was
made last year, he added, and
death rate of from Is to 20 per cent
indicated, while those who recovered
rarely showed any bad effects.

A Period of Frugality.

Buyers all over the country re-
fuse to buy women's dresses when
they are quoted at more than $4,000
by the manufacturers" was the re-
port at the recent convention of the
Manufacturers and Importers As
sociation at Chicago. Frugality is the
watchword this year. The time when
you could sell goods by marking up
the price is not likely to recur.
1t is the tendency of human ma
ture to rush from one extreme to
another. When a year ago, people
were spending money with blind and
stupid lack of forethought, today
some of them are more economical
than is necessary. All these tenden-
cies pass, and business is fast re-
turning to a normal basis.
What the people want now is
plain and substantial goods at a
moderate price. They have got be-
yond the point where they feel they
must have the most costly grades.
The retail merchants of DEBORAH long
ago sized up this attitude. They are
showing up new lines in which mex
pensive styles are the most promi-
merit.
