on one side where 1t was rained
upon.
Our first purchase consists Of
springs and mattresses in twin bed
size. These rest on a frame with
rollers which takes no space other
than that of the spring. They are
designed to be attached to one Of
the upholstered headboards, but we
decided against this in favor of an
upholstered bolster and two rec
tangular pillows for each bed. The
heads of the beds are pushed into
the corners of the long wall and
the cushions set against the wall
At the foot of the beds we place
grandmother's old walnut chest.
We choose primrose yellow quilted
chintz with tiny polka dots of blue
all over it, bound around the edge
with 1-inch blue bands, for covers
for the beds. These we make at
home; they are sleek, smooth and
tailored, and with Upper closings
may be put on or off in minute.
We make straight curtains for the
windows of very sheer white ma
terial and finish them across the
top with a valance of the quilted
yellow chitZ. For our one chair we
make a slip cover of plain blue,
washable material, in the same
color, but lighter shade than the
blue of the walls
The two matching chests we paint
"our" primrose yellow color, place
them before the window across the
room from the beds, and use a
sheet of plate glass on top of them
to make dressing table. A small
mirror on a stand does not look
too bedroomy, and a pair of lamps
rest at either end. The small draw
ers in the two chests hold all the
necessary items, keeping them at
hand, but out of sight. An old piano
bench gets its legs painted to match
the dresser. and we cover the top,
at home, with coated fabric which
looks like white leather.
The rug we send away to be dyed
a fine deep blue; all sign Of the
water stain is removed in the process.
The closet off our imaginary room
is large and generous. We build into
1t ourselves a tier of open-front
shelves. These slide in and out like
trays, making the piles Of clothing
instantly visible and available.
Hanger rods at different heights,
shelves for hats and fur boxes
tilted shelves for shoes make the
whole arrangement so complete that
no wall furniture for drawer space
Is necessary In the bedroom.

Simple Rules
To Beautify
Your Skin

BY PRATRICIA LINDSAY.

II you are victim of frequent,
annoying facial blemishes. or per-
sistent blackheads, look to your skin

For true beauty and lovely skin
texture you should follow a few
simple rules:
Shampoo your face with clean
hands and good soap lather and
rinse your skin thoroughly with

2-Once a week, at least, scrub
your face with bland soap and
sterilized complexion brush. Rinse
thoroughly.
3-1f you use face cloth, wash
it thoroughly with soap and hot
water after using 1t each time.
Do not use the same face cloth
longer than three days without
boiling it in soap and water for 10
minutes.
4Never use a soiled towel to
dry your face.
5Powder puffs also should be
steriltIed frequently. Never apply
fresh powder over old makeup with

avoid doing so. Remove the old
makeup first and apply fresh
powder with clean puff.

with cotton, use new piece each
time.
7-All beauty aids which come in
contact with your face such as eye
brow tweezers, eyelash brushes, lip
brushes, shower caps, must be kept
Immediately clean.
Swatch your hands! See that
they are clean when they touch your

that are going to stand hard wear,
we advocate investing the bulk of
the bedroom budget in springs and

for comfort, good wearing quality

Many bedrooms are limited in

and neatneSs necessary In even the
most personal living room.
This hypothetical room is approXi-
mately IA by 18 feet. 1t has one
long inside wall, a window on two
others and the entrance door on
the fourth wall. We have selected
one of the new, dark background
wallpapers in deep blue with a small
primrose yellow flower all over It,.
The reason? Because it is smart,
the room has light enough to take
it." and 1t strikes just the right note
between formality and intimacy
that will make our room doubly
useful. Our color scheme becomes
primrose yellow, rich deep blue and
white, with ceiling and woodwork
white.

Plan Weed Control
Program For 1888
Fight ON Noxious Weeds VIII BE
Carried ON Through Chemicals
with Sprayers

One of the important agricultural
extension projects in 1888 in Stearns
county will be weed control. This
year the state department of agri-
culture under Fred Crane, the new
leader in charge is waging an ag-
gressive campaign in all counties to
stamp out the primary noxious
weeds and others of less Importance
from a farm loss standpoint. On
February 1916 the township offic-
ers Of the county were called to-
gether to go over the matter Of
weed control plans for the coming
year and representative of the state
department of agriculture and the
county agents office attended these
meetings.
The primary noxious weeds of
most concern in Stearns county are
leafy spurge and creeping jenny.
Next to them on farms are Canada
thistles In times gone by quack
grass has been considered one of
the primary noxious weeds but in
the minds of most people the con-
troll measures for quack grass are
within the reach of each individual
farmer. In 1888 a considerable
acreage of the primary noxious
weeds will be sprayed with the var
ious chlorate chemicals especially
in areas where field cultivation is
not possible.

Twenty Day
Muskrat Season
Will Open March 10th At 6 "A. M,
And Will End April Z At
8 p. M.

Minnesota will have a twenty
day muskrat season, beginning on
March 10Th at 6 A. NJ, and ending
April Z at p. M, according to
Harry E. Speakes, Director of the
Division of Game and Fish.
For several months surveys have
been conducted in the field and
the muskrat population has reached
a point where an open season is ad-
visable, MIR. Speakes indicated.
The law provides, no person shall
set or use more than so traps for
muskrats at any one time. No per-
son shall set, visit, or remove any
trap for muskrat between the hours
of 8 p. M, and A. M"
1t is unlawful to injure or des-
troy muskrat houses and openings
made in houses for the purpose OF
inserting or removing traps must
be sealed. Traps shall not be placed
under the ice near muskrat houses
or in runways or channels used by
muskrats.
The last muskrat season in Min
nesota was in 1896, with closed sea-
sons in both 1885 and 1887.

CRASSHOPPER
CONTROL PLAN
Meeting Will BE Held In April To
Organize Townships For
Mixing Stations

Plans are already underway
according to the county agents
office at st. Cloud to work out a
successful grasshopper control pro-
gram for 1888. In Stearns county
the grasshopper situation has COM
manded the attention of farm folks
since 1882. In the years 1928 the
northern part of the county suffer-
ed the most severe losses and since
that time effective control measures
have reduced the number of hop
pers in this area considerably. In
the summer and fall of 1887 how
ever, new outbreaks were located
in other parts of the county where
the hoppers were present in very
small numbers i'm 1928. It was in
these areas that the numbers were
small enough so that farm people
were little concerned in control
measures and it is in these areas
especially where an effective con-
troll program has to be worked out
for 1888.
Stearns county lis in a very
favorable spot as far as supplies
and material for the campaign is
concerned. Ample quantities of saw
dust, bran, molasses, crude arsenic
and liquid arsenite are stores in the
townships and at St Cloud. About
April 10Th a meeting will be held
to organize the townships for mix
ing stations and mixing crews to
handle the drive this year.
