ANKLING ALONG no BEAUTY

ANKLING ALONG TO BEAUTY
Ankles have come into their
own again. We haven't quite gone
back to the day when the glimpse
of an ankle as milady stepped out
of a horse drawn street car sent
masculine hearts into a loop-the-
loop. But certainly the new long
skirts of afternoon and evening
have concentrated attention ON q
lady's shoe-tops.
Fat, bullying, ungraceful ankles
assuredly aren't in keeping with
springs vogue for sickness In
all things. II you are thus unfor-
tunate. it is not unlikely that cff-
tain exercises will do much to give
you ankles that bespeak the grace
which you would like to achieve.
Here are five exercises which
should help you to ankle alone 10

every morning and night. at first;
then gradually increase them un-s
til you can do them one hundred
times.
i. stand erect, with limbs.
held together and arms extended
forward. Separate the arms side
wise, inhaling. AS you bring your
arms back to your first position,
2. stand erect. Holding the
back of a chair, squat to a sitting
position, keeping your back
straight. Now stand erect, hands
at side. and rise on toes, lifting
your arms above your head.
3. Erect again, put your legs
together and your hands on your
hips. Raise first your right and
then your left leg. sidewise. up
and down.
a. Standing in one spot; kick
backward as far as possible with
the heels as though running.
S. Now, take a recumbent po-
sition. Next bring the limbs up to
the chest, and perform complete
circle, alternating first your right
and then your left leg, as II you
were pedaling.
These exercises may help you to
attain the perfect ankles you de-
sire. But once having attained
that perfection, don't call . halt.
Continue the exercises to retain
the good results which you have
achieved.

NEA Service Writer

Perhaps one of the most attrac-
tive ways to serve eggs is in ONE
let's. For breakfast, luncheon
or late supper, they always appear
to good advantage. Plain or with
sauce, delicate omelet is sure
to please.
There is no mysterious secret or
indeScribable trick connected with
omelet making. Anyone. who is
willing to measure accurately and
take the trouble of cooking care
fully can make perfect omelet.
To be sure certain precautions
must be taken, but the rules are
simple and easy to follow.
Remember that an omelet must
never be allowed to stand at any
stage of it's preparation. 1t must
be mixed quickly, cooked at once
and served on a hot dish as soon
as it is done.
With two types of omelets and
their numerous variations the
hostess has a wide choice. The
French omelet Is made by beating
the whole eggs while the puffy

BE oBSERVANT

BE OBSERVANT
Half of US go through life with
our eyes closed-no not half, more
than that, by far.
1 suppose it is natural to go
dreaming along--our minds OBJ
sessed by a thousand things, but
it gets to be an unsuitable habit,
this observation-disclosures of ours and
we miss a great deal. 1t is said
that an observant man will educate
himself without a book and be-
lieve it.
Conc ntration and alertness
need to be fostered, not neglected,
and they should have their real
start in childhood. When people
get older and complain of loss OF
memory it Is largely because they
were not trained to observe inteiii-
gently as children. But it is never
too late. Observation and assoc
citation of ideas fix memory. I can
, safely say that it cannot be culti-
waited many other way.
1t is very simple, the whole proc
ess. Moreover If you take a child
in hand to accent these mental
processes you will unconsciously
find yourself doing. the same thing.
It is better to fix memory by
commonplace things.
Say to Johnny some day, What
colors are there in the rug In your
,room?" He will run up to look
and come down brathlessly to tell
you that it is blue and pink and
green with little black places here
and there. Black? Funny! You
never noticed when you go up.
Yes, there it Is and you never saw
it before

You suddenly realize that you

that you will look at all trees with

Teach Johnny to observe people
closely. 1t is good practice to
have him describe, for instance,
the different neckties men wearson

She thought. "He is my husband

Controlling Worms

No effective method of treating
seed corn against either cut-worms
or grub-worms has yet been found.
The best control for grub-worms is
crop rotation and avoiding plowing
of sod in a 'grub-worm year" The
most practical method of cut-worm
control is use of moist poisoned
bait, scattered broadcast evenly
over the infested area at nightfall
The following mixture will treat
three acres: Thoroughly mix twenty
pounds of bran with one pound of
paris green. Squeeze the juice of
three oranges or lemons into three
and one-half gallons of water and
chop the remaining pulp and peel
into fine bits before adding to the
mixture. Also dissolve two quarts
of molasses in the liquid. Then
thoroughly dampen the bran and
poison with the liquid.-Wallace's

Dry Bean Growers
Plan Acreage Cut
Largely Reduced Percen-
tage to Be Planted.

BY L. E. CRUICKsHANK, New York
College of Agriculture.-WNU Service.
Dry bean growers intend to re-
duce acreage about u per cent IN
1882 as compared to 1881. New
York states reduction is about 8
per cent, or 10000 acres, and
Michigan's intended cut is about IL
per cent, or $4,000 acres.
The heaviest cuts are planned In
the great northern states, where
Montana, Idaho and Wyoming in
tend to plant 90 per cent, or 10000
acres, less than In 1881. California
plans to cut IL per cent, Colorado
10, New Mexico 8, and other states
that grow about $1,000 acres also
plan per cent cut.
With yields equal to the average
yield in the past ten years a crop
IA per cent smaller than in 1881
would result. In the states which
grow pea-beans an average increase
of about 2 per cent might be ex-
pected, despite the reduced acreage,
since the yields in these states were
below average in 1881.
