Flabby Arms and Shoulders.

Large, fiabby arms and shoulders with
a roll of fat across the back of the neck
are neither attractive nor comfortable.
They give the impression of grossnesS
that Is the precise opposite of all that is
dainty and feminine. The only way to
get rid OF these accumulationS OF ex-
cess flesh Is to exercise them off. Here,
I know, some of my readers who are
housewives will say that they have
plenty OF exercise at their daily tasks.
HouSeWork, however, does not usually
provide the kind OF exercise that Is
needed to keep the upper arms, neck
and Sholders from becoming fat. II 1t

among home women
AS 1t Is sometimes harder for busy
women TO find time for exercise in the
morning than at bedtime, 1 am suggest
ing the following exercise program for
evening after the days duties are over.
OF course, there is no objection to doing
the exercises at any time of the day:
Exercise stand erect, graSping in

the stick out in front of you at shoulder

Did You Write Your Own Will?

Occasionally in the newspapers We
read Of legal battle over the will made
by some man or woman of means. Some
of these legal battles last for several
years. When the smoke has cleared

OF the original estate left 10 dispose of.
Many Of these battles are due TO home
made wills which have been faulty

Most women do not like TO make a

tudes result in unforeseen tangleS when

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

The lump Of fat at the nape Of the
neck may be removed by regular exer-
else, massage and good posture. Hold
the chin up, neck straight. After your
evening bath spend several minutes
massaging the flesh with a deep, knead-
ing movement. Throw the head back
between the shoulders and roll 1t from
side to side.
A cold hand bath, followed by a hard
rundown with coarse towel, will aid
greatly in reducing accumulations of
excess fat on any part of the body. Take
the treatment the first thing in the
morning. Just moisten the hands in
cold water and slap them over the skin
and then rub the body into glow With
the towel.

Note of Resolutions Will
Prove Helpful Next Year.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Planning the garden is usually a
matter of early spring. Frequently,
say the horticulturalists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, it
might better be done the previous sum-
mer. Often in the fruit or vegetable
garden there come times when only
small supply of vegetables is available.
At the same time neighbors who plant
ed different varieties, or planted at
different times, will be enjoying the
benefits of the garden and a success
sion of its products. At that time it
is possible to take note of present de-
ficiencies and to prepare to remedy
them the following year. A sheet of
paper for preservation of summer res
olutions will prove helpful when the
early gardening period returns again.
Also it is well to observe effective
groupings of perennialS and ANNALS
in neighboring gardens with view
to Encouragement. transplanting, or
sowing of seeds to obtain the most
beautiful arrangements of the gardens.
In many sections of the country the
autumn offers the best opportunity for
planting new shrubs and trees. Plans

British Collectors
Use Queer Methods

Collection agencies in London are
even more ''hard-boiled' than those in
American cities. Not only do red
headed letters come through the mail
to debtors, says "The Pathfinder" but
when man has been notified three
times that his bill is due a collector
in a red uniform calls on him. The
bright clothes are to attract attention
and embarrass the debtor.
A popular story has it that our word
"dun', owes its origin to Joe Dun,
famous bailiff in the reign of Henry
VII. Dun was proficient collector Of
rents, duties and general debts. He
resorted to many ruses. He seems to
have originated the idea of calling at
debtors houses in odd and colOrfui
costumes to attract attention. Some
times he would walk up and dol in
front of the poor wretch's house and
broadcast the nature of the debt to
the neighbOrhOod 1t is against the
law in the United States to dun a per-
son by postcard.

More or Less Generally Rec
ognized at Many Large
Central Markets.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A detailed description and eXplana-
ton of the tentative market classes
and grades of calves and vealers as
set UP by the bureau of agricultural
economics, United States Department
of Agriculture, has just been published
by the department. These market
classes and grades, according to Don
J. Slater, federal marketing specialist,
are at present more or less generally
recognized by the trade at many of
the large central markets.
At practically all important central
live stock markets days supply of
immature cattle ranges from several
hundred up to several thousand head.
These animals have been and still are
designated by various names at diff
ferent markets, Mr.. Slater says in the
departments new publication. At some
markets all such animals are termed
calves, whereas at other markets they
are called vealers, and at still other
markets, usually the larger, more
highly developed and specialized mar
kets, part of them are known as calves
and part as vealers.
Fall Into Two Groups.
When these immature animals are
classified and graded in accordance
with the system of tentative standard
market classes and grades adopted by
the bureau of agricultural economics,
they naturally fall into two rather dis
tinct groups because, when slaugh-
tered, they produce two more or less
distinct kinds of meat. AS general
rule, immature cattle three months of
age or younger produce dressed car
cass the meat of which is distinctly
different from that obtained from old
er young cattle.
The meat produced by large per-
centage of immature cattle which are
approximately three months old or
younger is known in the wholesale
and retail meat trade as veal, where
as the carcasses produced by most of
the immature cattle over three months
old are known in the wholesale and
retail meat trade as calf carcasses.
Base of Tentative Grades.
1t is on the basis of these differ
ences that the tentative grades of the
bureau of agricultural economics are
founded. The new publication dis

Indigestion From Corn
Is Found in Kentucky

New corn seems to be bad for tur-
keys. The Kentucky experiment sta
ton has found that it produces a fatal
type of Indigestion. Sometimes the
trouble can be relieved by giving a
tablespoonful of castor oil when the
bird first becomes sick.
Where birds run out it is almost i'm
possible to prevent them from getting
into the cornfields and In such cases
the Kentucky station recommends an
early morning feed of whole oats and
old corn so they will not feed so read
lily on the new corn.
Under the Billings plan, which is
the most profitable plan of raising tur-
keys, the birds are confined and they
receive only what they are fed. There
would be no difficulty from the new
corn unless it were given to them.

Agricultural Hints
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Broilers should be marketed at from
IL to 2H pounds live weight.
For hogs, alfalfa is the best pas
ture obtainable, furnishing a maxi
mum of ideal forage throughout the
season, even in dry weather. AS
many as 20 shotes can be carried on
an acre.
Seed wheat may be treated for
smut with copper carbonate dust and
stored until seeding time. Use plen-
ty of copper carbonate and be sure
that the wheat stays in the treater
until every kernel is thoroughly coat
ed with the dust.
New fields of alfalfa should not be
pastured. If the alfalfa has been
seeded alone and the weeds become
numerous, the field can be cut high
when the alfalfa plants are just COM
irg into bloom. Do not cut the al
falfa if there are only few weeds.

Potato Growing Costs
Show Production Range

Potato production costs ranging
from an average of 40 cents per bushel
in the Western states to 80 cents a
bushel in the West South Central
states have been reported for the 1927
crop by 1,179 farmers to the bureau
of agricultural economics, United
States Department of Agriculture.
Average costs reported by 276 farm
ers in the Northeastern states were
placed at 70 cents per bushel; In the
Eastern states - cents a bushel !;
Southeastern states n cents; Central
states So cents; North Central states
SO cents.
Corresponding figures for each year
since 1923 show range from SO
cents a bushel in the North Central
states in 1924 to 81 cents a bushel in
the Southeastern states in 1925.
Figures from growers having an
acre or less of potatoes were not in
cluded in the departments tabuIa-
lions, and the remaining 1,179 reports
were grouped to represent as nearly
as possible sections of the country
having similar production conditions.

Manure Proves Valuable
on Experiment Fields

Manure has been worth all the way
from SO cents to 81 AS ton on differ
ent soil experiment fields of the Hi
nois agricultural experiment station,
according to L. B. Miller of the Uni
versity of Illinois. Everywhere the
soils generally considered fertile re-
sponded to manure, but the greatest
showing, naturally, was on the less
fertile plots in southern Illinois.
An average of 16 fertile fields hav-
ing the typical dark-colored cOrnbelt
soil is of special interest as it gives a
good cross section of the state and
a picture of what may be expected
generally on fertile soils of the Middle
West.

Sodium Fluoride Will
Kill Lice on Chicks

Watch for lice! Body lice collect
under the wings Of young chicks and
between the wing quilts of young tur-
keys. Sodium fiuoride or any good
louise powder sprinkled under the
wings and among the down or feath-
ers on the body will kill the lice. Head
lice are almost white in color and are
seldom found below the head A small
amount of melted lard or olive oil
rubbed on the heads of chicks, poults,
gosIings and duckflngs will kill these
lice. Too much grease is almost as
harmful as the lice. Dipping the tip
of the finger in the melted lard once
for the top of the head, once for each
side; and once for the throat will not
be too much.

Feeding Fresh Cow

During the time a good cow is dry
she should be fed literally SO that
when she comes fresh she will be in
excellent condition. A few days be-
fore she is due the grain ration should
consist of ground oats and bran-pref-
erably bran alone. Feed her several
pounds. The bowels must be kept
loose. The COW should be placed in a
box stall and after the calf is born
it should be removed from the box
stall as soon as the calf Is dry.

Shade for Fowls

In spite of the fact that it may not
look neat, it Is wise to leave several
goOd-sized clumps of weeds or bushes
on the range used by the growing
stock. There is no kind of shade
that fowls enjoy more than that af-
forded by dense low growth of any
kind. During the. heated period of
the day the entire flock will be found
busting and wallowing under the
bushes, if these are accessible, with
scarcely chick to be seen anywhere
else.

had made, they became slightly con-

have on Jean.
Next morning Mark Millward was
in the room when Jean entered. She
wore trim dark blue serge, her hair
was allowed to go its lovely way. and
she was minus the spectacles. She
looked happy, too, so happy that she
was fairly radiant.
Miss Barlow leaned back In her
chair and sighed with content.

Sheep Destroy Weeds

The best and also the cheapest way
to rid the pasture, as well as the rest
of the farm, of weeds, is to keep a few
sheep. They will do more and also do
it better than to have an extra man.
The care is not great to fence a farm
sheep tight. Two extra wires, that is,
a five-wire fence, put up in good shape
and kept tight, will be all right to
keep sheep. And right here is where
so many fail in keeping their cattle in
the pasture. Good fencing is not a Sc
riouS problem.
