FASHION NOTES OF INTEREST

The extremely decollete evening
gown has disappeared.
Wired tunics of metal lace will be
worn over satin slips.
Tailored and fluffy rufiles blouses
share hOnors this season.
Paris favors the long, narrow muff
with gathered ends.
Even bathing slippers will have the
popular ankle strap.
Dyvetyn vestees, pipings and fac
ings, in some contrasting color, are
used on serge and tricotine froeks.
Green and red seem to be the don,i-
nant colors for evening wear. particu
larly when velvet is the material c.O-
sen.
Grays and browns will be popular
this spring, but the newest note Of the
season will be the very extensive re-
vival of the use of pencilstriped ma

One of the latest effects in French
neckwear is little plated ruche of

not serpents. They partake more Of
the qualities Of the meat-eaters-the
wolves and felines. After the first
instant, the noise Of the fight aroused
the whole hillside. The sound Of blows
was in itself notable, and besides, both
Of the men were bowling the prim-
ordial battle cries of hatred and ven
geance.
For two long minutes Dan fought
with the strength of desperation, sum-
moning at last all that mysterious re-
serve force with which all men are
born. But he was playing a losing
game. The malady with which he had
suffered had taken too much of his
yigor. Even as he struggled, it seemed
to him that the vista about him, the
dark pines, the colored leaves of the
perennial shrubbery, the yellow path
were all obscured in strange, white
mist. A great wind roared in his ears
and his heart was evidently about
| to shiver to pieces.
But still he fought on, not daring to
yield. He could no longer parry Grams
tons blows. The latter's arms went
around him in one of those deadly
holds that wrestlers know; and Dan
struggled in vain to free himself.
Cranston's face itself seemed hideous
and unreal in the mist that was creep
ing over him. He did not recognize
the curious humping sound as Grams
| toms fists on his flesh. And now
Cranston had hurled him off his feet.
Nothing mattered further. He had
fought the best he could. This cruel
beast could pounce on him at will
and hammer away his life. But still
| he struggled. Except for the constant
play of his muscles, his almost un-
conscious effort to free himself that
kept one Of Cranston's arms busy
holding him down, that fight on the
mountain path might have come to a
sudden end. Human bodies can stand
a terrific punishment; but Dams was
weakened from the ravages Of his
disease. Besides, Cranston would soon
have both hands and both feet free for
the work, and when these four ter
rible weapons are used at once, the

The necessary thing is to know your

Bull BATTING,

This was sport once popular in
England, but declared illegal in 1885.
A bull was attacked by dogs, and
sometimes the nostrils of the bull were
blown full OF pepper to increase his
fury. Another form Of the sport was
to fasten the bull to stake by long
rope and then get bulldogs at him, one
at a time, which were trained to seize
the bull by the nose. The bulldog
seems to have been developed for this
sport from a short-eared mastiff called
"alaunt."

NEW TREATMENT FOR
WORMS IN FOWLS

II your fowls are acting a little
droopy or you lose one occasionally
from no apparent cause, II might be
well TO look for worms. Large
worms will be found in the intes-
tines of the fowl or the difficulty
may be caused by extremely fine
worms about quarter OF an inch
long and found in the scum or little
blind pouches which you will find
attached to the intestines.
According to Mr.. Cosby Poultry
Extension Specialist, the general ac-
cepted treatment for worms among
adult fowls is as follows: Mix about
two pounds of powdered tobacco
with each 100 pounds OF dry mash
and feed this mixture for two weeks
Az the end Of this time make up
moist mash using water In which
II ounces OF EPSON salts have been
dissolved for each 100 hens to be
treated. Civ this mash rather late
in the afternoon and most OF the
worms will be passed on the drop
ping boards during the night. The
dropping boards should be cleaned
and disinfected and droppings dis
posed OF so poultry cannot get to
them. After the first treatment,
omit the tobacco from the mash for
two weeks and then give the entire
treatment over again.
This method Is great improve
ment over the old cure OF boiled
tobacco and a starvation period OF
about "a hours which often threw
the birds into a moult resulting in
financial loss.
