To raise the chin alone is not suf-
ficient, and 1t may be awkward If 1t
is protruded. A good way to get
the right poise of the head is to lift
the crown up. This naturally
straightens the neck, and the chin,
while raised, will not be thrust for
ward.
AS woman grows older there is
a tendency to let the head and neck
settle down. 1t is difficulty to ap-
pear young when the head has this
attitude. SO mothers, while remind
ing their children to hold their heads
high, should follow their own good
advice. This is beauty treatment
which costs nothing in dollars and
cents, and is invaluable.
Moreover there is subtle connec-
ton between attitudes of mind and
body. With the head held high, the
thoughts have the tendency to be
above littleness. Both the eyes Of
the head and of the mind look down
on the mean things of life, and true
beauty results.

Asparagus Harvest Time
Shown by Actual Tests

Asparagus, which ranks as one Of
the leading truck crops of Illinois with
total value of more than half mil
lion dollars in 1880, should not be cut
severely until the second year after
the plantation is set, and In some cases
not until the third year, according to
a seven-year experiment conducted by
the College of Agriculture, University
of Illinois
Severe cutting Of asparagus is in
furious both to yield and market quail
ity. The injury increases in proper
ton to the severity of the cutting. A
prolonged cutting season lessons the
growing period of the tops and there
by restricts the food supply that is
manufactured in the tops and stored
in the fleshy roots. With a limited
food supply there is reduction in the
yield the following season.
Comparing the yields of the expert
mental plots, the plot cut heavily the
first year returned only $1,000 pounds
Of asparagus during the seven-year Pc
Rod, while the plot cut lightly the first
season gave a total yield of 431.51
pounds.
Starting the harvest the second year
proved advantageous with total yield
of 434.21 pounds for the seven years
from the plot harvested rather severe
ly, but the maximum yield Of 531.53
pounds was gained from the bed cut
only lightly the second year and me-
dunn the third season. The plot on
which harvest was not begun until the
third year gave a total of 467.S6
pounds.
If an asparagus plantation has made
a poor growth during the first and Sec
ond years after setting, it is suggested
that the first cutting be delayed until
the third year, or at most that the cut
ting be very light the second year.
Ordinarily, however, there is no need
for delaying at least a partial harvest
until the third season.

Beauty Secret in
Carriage Of Head
Woman Who "Slouches''
Can Never Really
Look Her Best.

With the attention that Is being
paid to beauty treatments so that a
woman may be good to look at, one
essential is seldom needed. That Is
the proper way to hold the head. So
long as it does not set well on the
neck and shoulders, there Is some
thing notably wrong with the pic
ture, and no amount of powder on
the cheeks and rouge on the lips
and cheeks, too-can make the wom-
an handsome. 1t is useless to say that
nature formed us as we are, and we
are not responsible for the carriage of
the head, while all the time we are
using cosmetics and lotions to change
the appearance of the faces nature
gave us. So, mothers, see that your
daughters learn to hold their heads
well up, and gracefully, too.
1t is not tradition alone which is
responsible for the idea that the
way the head was held denoted
whether one was plebian or patri-
clan. 1t is a fact. Women of high
rank were not permitted to SLOUGH.
It'was part of their upbringing and
education to hold their heads high.
They must express in their carriage
that they held themselves above
mean and degrading acts. They
must represent fineness and nobil-
ity of birth and character by the
posture of their heads. Those of
lower rank might SLOUGH, and unfor-
tunately they did, for they were not
trained to hold their heads high.
There was one race Of people who
as an entire group considered them
selves worthy, the Romans. Just to
be Roman meant superiority. Even
to this very day the Romans hold
their heads high. They have GER
tain majesty of appearance. One in
stinctively recognized them as noble.
Today to be said to carry oneself
like Roman is expressive Of praise,
and not unworthy pride.

That Body
Of Yours
g
Eyes and Teeth
BY
JAMES W. BARTON, M. d.

A YOUNG man was having his eyes
examined by physician, and to
the surprise of physician and patient
the eyes had improved considerably
since the examination one year pre-
vious.
AS his work and reading habits had
not changed, the physician was at a
loss to account for the Improvement
until he asked some questions.
"You are feeling better physically
than you were a year ago, are you
not?"
"Yesl" the patient answered, Il feel
brighter and more like work, not so
lazy as was year ago."
"Had any dental work done"
"Yes, I had an X-ray of my teeth
and the dentist found three teeth that
were badly infected and removed
them. l felt lazier than ever for
few weeks but feel fine now"
This was the explanation of the
Improvement in the eyesight.
DR.. William F. c. Steinbugler tells
us In the New York State Journal Of
Medicine that pyorrhoea, dental de-
cay, and root infection are frequently
causes of eye infection, and, in addi-
ton to affecting the eyesight, set up
local inflammations in and about the
eyes. The most dungeons form of
tooth infection is that in which the
pulp (nerve and blood vessels) is af-
fected, as this diseased or poisonous
material is forced into the blood
stream and hence goes to all parts of
the body including the eye.
Doctor Steinbugler admits that every
effort should be made to preserve the
teeth owing to their Importance In
breaking up food and allowing the
digestive juice in the mouth to moisten
and soften food, and turn starch into
sugar, nevertheless it should be re-
membered that in doubtful cases the
eye should be given first consideration
and the removal of infection from the
mouth should come before preserving
the teeth.
During the war very skillful pilot
began to make poor landings. He was
ordered to report for medical exam
ination and it was found that his ton
sils were in very bad condition. Re
moval Of tonsils restored his vision to
normal and there were no more poor
landings. Infection was the cause Of
the trouble.
If therefore your eyesight seems to
be failing or you are troubled with
any Inflammation about the eyes, a
visit to the dentist is advisable be-
fore having your glasses changed.

Late Onions Need
Careful Culture
Long Growing Season Before
Hot Weather Is Found
Big Advantage.
BY Prof. J. E. Knott. New York state Col
lege of Agriculture.--WNUs Service.

BY Prof. J. q. Knott, New York state Col
lege Of Agriculture.-WNU Service.
New York state leads in the produc-
ton Of late onions with total crop
each year that ranges from 100000
to 100000 bushels. and this crop is
often worth about $5,O00,OO0.
Four major muck sections produce
more than -nine-tenths of the crop. The
remaining one-tenth of the crop comes
from smaller areas scattered through
out ten counties.
One of the most important points
to remember in the production Of
onions is that the larger the plant
grows before it begins to form a bulb
at the base. the larger will be the
yield. The first thing that Is to be
considered is the time Of planting. The
earlier the onions are started, the long
er time they have to grow. before warm
temperature and long Wight period
combine to start building in early sum-
mer. Fall blowing helps to get an
early start.
Other suggestions to increase the
yield Of onions on muck are: avoid
the use of nitrogen on newly cleared
woody muck, and plant enough seed
to get a good stand, but do not crowd
the plants; supply available nitrogen
to onions, when four to five inches
high. on muck in use ten years or
more; give shallow cultivation often
enough to keep the weeds under con-
troll; and control insects and diseases
as much as possible.

one crop, that for which his land Is
the best suited. and which he is best
qualified to raise. In some cases
farmers will be allowed rotation in
crops, thus assuring yearly diversified

Asthma and Hay Fever

r SOMETIMES wonder what hay
L fever and asthma sufferers must
think as they read daily Of the Won
derful cures being obtained by various
physicians throughout the world, and
yet despite the various treatments
they have received, they still suffer
with hay fever and asthma.
What are the various "cures" that
are thus recorded?
The cures are first aimed at the
causes of these two ailments-sensi-
tiyeness to certain foods, furs, feathers,
pollen of plants, various dusts in the
home: ailments or deformities in the
nose. throat, or bronchial tubes; acute
infections such as influenza, bron-
chitis, pleurisy, scarlet fever, whoop-
ing cough, measles.
Before treatment is undertaken the
patient is thoroughly examined and
tested by the various substances, now
known to be hundreds in number.
Treatment is then given according to
what the examination and various
tests showed.
This treatment consists Of various
drugs, of which adrenalin stands first |;
proper attention to diet, rest, and out
door exercise; vaccines; the surgical
removal of adenoids, tonsils, growths,
or deformities in nose and throat; the
use Of pollen extracts before and dur
ing the hay fever season.
DR.. T. S. Heaton, Toronto, who
made study of the various causes
and different methods of treatment,
gives conclusions reached after re-
viewing some of the work and writings
of sixty-six physicians doing research
work on hay fever and asthma.
He believes that the treatment Of
hay fever and asthma by the avoid
ance of the substances that cause these
conditions is the best method at this
time. Rooms in which these SUBJ
stances cannot enter and the use of
air filters are of great value in fighting
these ailments. Avoiding the foods
known to cause hay fever or asthma
is the best method Of treating this par
ticular type. Certainly asthma and
hay fever are difficult to cure. Ger
tainly, too, the special treatment by
extracts can help many at any age"
So, If you are an asthma or hay
fever sufferer and think you have tried
everything, just ponder over these re-
marks by Doctor Heaton, and try to
discover if there is not something you
have left undone.
