Beautiful Eyes.


While it is not possible to change q
pair Of pale blue eyes into q deeper
hue or to make hazel eyes into a dark
brown, yet there Is much which can be
done to bring out every bit Of color
which the eyes may have. It is also
possible to keep eyes bright and clear,
and such eyes can be beautiful what
ever color nature may have painted
them
In the first place, to be beautiful eyes
must be comfortable. Tired eyes al
ways lack luster and clearness. Dur
ing the day 1t Is a good plan to give
the eyes rest and relaxation. for few
minutes Just as one would relax any
other part Of the body.
If you are occupied in close work,
shut your eyes for q minute or two
and then focus them on distant OBJ
ject. Do not stare, but blink the eyes
and let them rove casually from one
distant object to another. Then close
them again fer a minute. This simple
exercise rests the tiny eye muscles
Afterward battle the eyes in a solution
of salt water made by diSsolving a
pinch Of salt in cupful Of tepid water
Use a medicine dropper for this. Bath
ing the eyes in this way at least twice
a day does much to tone and strength
en- them.
There is another secret to eye love-
illness which every woman should know
and that is the value Of eye shadow
Some use this only for evening wear
but If used sparingly it Is equally ef-
fective for daytime wear. In applying
1t put just a little Of the shadow on
the fingertip and beginning at the
lashes rub the shadow over the upper
lid from the lashes to the place where
the lid creases. Rub It on evenly and
remember It is best to err on the side
of using too little rather than tco
much. Never leave on enough so that
1t would be detected.
Those who have never used eye

three generations in one year. The
larval stage lasts a month and the next
stage, the pupa, about or 10 days
In the Summer.
The baby Is husky fellow and when
full-grown measures almost two inches.
He is bright green and trimmed with
black bands on each segment and yell
low spots indented on the margin.
He has an enormous appetite and
cleans the stalks Of all leaves as he
moves on his legs and prolegs. Should
you disturb him, he will shoot out two
soft orang-colored horns from his head
and you viii notice a sickening sweet
odor about you. To his enemies this
is usually sufncient to let him 60 his
way in peace.
The mother and father butterfly do
little damage. The children have been
known to destroy whole crops Of celery
and other related plants.
To get rid of them, manipulating
seems to be the safest way. The
poisons used to kill them must not be
used on foliage plants that are to be
sent shortly to the markets.
This butterfly is well known through
out North America east of the Rocky
Mountains

LITTLE BENNY


After supper ma was looking at the
advertisements in the paper, saying
Here's something intristing, Willyum
now here is RELY o chance to save Q
lot Of money.
Then its just the chance I've been
looking for, you've got better eyes than
have, pop sed, and ma sed, It's the
Crockery Coal Company advertisement
they garantee that all coal ordered and
delivered now during the slack season
VIII cost at least dollers ton less
than coal bawt next Fall.
BY gollies that's an ideer, pop sed, II
ordered the full 20 tons now Id save
go dollers, and anybody that sneezes at
80 dollers is libel to catch a cold, he
sed.

money, just imagine it in one doller

orantS; ma sed. II a person could have

matter Of a few days. Ill make q
note OF that coal bizness rite now and
send in the order tomorrow, he sed. In
these hard times saving Is more than q
plezzure, its duty, he sed.
That's what thawt when red the
advertisement, ma sed. Anybody who
misses the slightest chance to save
money In these days with so much suf-
Ierlng and privation going on Is RELY
setting wicked example to people who
haven't even any money to save. That's
what thawt downtown this afternoon

corse it was rediculissly cheep, COM
paratively, but it would Of been ar
obvious luxury and this Is a time for

~ for 3 bride in June. Or If not
"A o shower, a party at least.
1 ana the tavorite color scheme
for such parties and party re-
freshmentS Is, of course, pink.
One of the reasons that pink Is so
popular is that you can make such a
pretty table and such pretty food COM
binations with pink and white.
A small bride and groom on a small
bit of gracefully draped net or chiffon
or any other bit of thin white stun
table. At each side Of the bridal pair
place tiny glass baskets filled with pink
roses or sweet peas and at the four
corners Of the centerpiece glass candle
sticks with pink candles.
After the party Is over the entire
centerpiece, including baskets (mlnus
the flowers and candlestickS, may be
packed in O box to be brought out for
every such party you or any OF your
family or friends have. So you see 1t
isn't really so expensive after all.
Now about the food. There is one ice
cream and cake combination that Is just
splendid. The plate has on it q pink
paper dolly and the ice cream Is pink
peppermint cream topped with plain
white mousse and over the mousse Is

candy.
The cake is white almond cake with
pink icing or angel food with fresh
strawberry icing or pink confectioners'
icing. The effect, you see, is-pink ice
cream with white icing and white cake
with pink icing. Try to think of some
thing prettier, If you can.
Peppermint ice cream requires 2 cups
milk, 8 tablespoons quick tapioca, s
tablespoons corn strip, two-thirds cup
sugar, pinch salt, egg whites, l II tea
spoons peppermint f1avoring and ! pint
whipped cream.
Mix the tapioca, sugar, strip and
salt. Add milk and scald. Cook in
double boiler IS minutes. Strain and
cool. Add stifly- egg whites and
whipped cream. Mix and fold in well.
Add enough vegetable coloring to make
pink in color. Add this slowly as the
cream colors quickly and you want it
pink not red. Pour into trays, having
them about half full.
For plain mousse you will need cups
heavy cream, u cup confectioners'
sugar, / teaspoon vanilla and 2 egg
whites.
Beat cream till stiff and add sugar
Fold in egg whites and add vanilla.
Pour In trays on top Of peppermint ice
cream. Put stick Of peppermint candy

Appendicitis.

It is a reproach to somebody that
the appendicitis death rate in the
United States today Is nearly as great
as the pneumonia death rate. That Is
to say, 1913 per cent Of persons who
have appendicitis die Of 1t.
What bearing has the operation upon
the outcome? That depends on the
promptness of the operation. Delay is
dangerous. Among 5,12l cases Of ap-
pendicitis coming to operation. 1 in
every 80 ended fatally when the OPP
Grafton was done within "a hours OF
the onset of symptoms; l in II patients
died if the operation was delayed "a
hours; in IS died If the operation was
delayed u hours; l in 9 died when the
operation was delayed longer than ~
hours.
Gangrene and perforation-which
spells general peritonitis-may occur as
early as six hours from the onset OF
the attack. It's all very well to try to
kid yourself the distress is from some
thing you ate for dinner, but after two
or three hours Of such fooling YOU
should revise your notion, especially II
you are not ordinarily subject to such
ache.
Second only to delay of operation is
the mistake of resorting to laxative
or cathertic when a severe ache occurs.

And remember that home canning
nowadays is not SO important as 1t was
before delicious canned things could be

store, and before there was year-round
supply of fresh fruits of one sort or an

PRAIRIE DOGS
ARE POISONED
TEN PERSONS KILL $500 DOGS
IN FALLON COUNTY DURING
ONE DAYS WORK

Nine men and one in the
front line Of the Fallon county
forces engaged in the prairie dog
determination war, caused casualties
in the ranks Of the enemy to a count
of $500, reports j.. o. Hembre,
county agent at Baker.
Incased in an armor of righteous
ness and armed with the devastating
strychnine poisoned oats, the small
squad attacked at the point where the
enemy had broken through the Hembre
line and swarmed over 500 acres Of
land. Spurred on by Charles and
Grace Atkinson, the squad swept over
1880 defenses garrisoned by five
prairie dogs each and at the end of
one day had reclaimed the entire 500
acres. The other members of the squad
were Charles Weiss, Herman Krem-
mel, Bert and AL Oxford, Alfred Ben
son, Grant Corey, j. O. Hembre and
Sawyer.
The ammunition used in the war
was supplied in part by the bureau of
biological survey, the cooperating
agency. o. E. Stephl, state rodent
control leader, is the general in charge
OF the state of1enses and county agents
