Window Gazing (New Notes in Spring Curtains

Look pretty, please!" is the fash- ion order for spring and summer. Many of us are thinking of this vogue for prettiness simply as the new fashion to follow in dressing up ourselves. But 1t means more than that, because softnes sand charm are as important in home decoration as they are in personal decoration.
 Among the many things the stores are showing to give pretty looks to homes this spring and summer are many new styles in lace net curtains that are feather-light in weight, in lighter tones than dur ing the past few seasons, and woven with the fascinating open meshes that welcame light into the room.
 This three-way lightness gives the curtains an airy-fairy look as they hang at the windows and brings into the room the charming effect that the fashion experts are having such a gaily busy time writing about.
 The designs are infinitely varied from dainty little novel meshes to bold splashes of leaves or flowers in all over designs and from simple, fine geometric patterns to grace fully etched borders woven into a decorative pattern on the sides and across the bottom of the curtain. In the lighter textures the curtains have 8 veil-like sheerness and they have way with windows, just as a fine veil on 8 wcman's hat works its allure.
 Lighter tones, such as the creamy beige, are fashion news, too. These light, neutral tints fit into almost any color scheme that can be plan- ned for a room and their color is refreshingly new.
 The trend to lighter tones and textures brings out big new array of lace net curtains designed espe. cially for bedrooms. Patterns art the dainty kind, stripes, chevrons dots, flower motifs, small nove meshes, all the type that har' monizes with bedroom decoration
 These curtains, hung in full fold right over the window pane, do mor' than decorate bedrooms window fashionably. They give the bedroom privacy from people passing by tn windows, or living in the apartmen or the house across the way. At tn same time, they invite light into thu room 50 they serve double pur pose.
 All of these curtains are req Americans, from start to finish, too They are created and designed D! American craftsmen, using the bes methods known in lace net curtain making.

Women, shopping in thu stores, will find many new beauties in lace net curtains in design, fashionably correct for every room in the house, and at prices that fit all budgets, from those of thu cottage homes to those of the movie mansions.

 Young lambs gambol on the Easter menu. Baby spring lamb is about the most delicate luxury for Easter dinner, but it is very expensive. Legs of baby spring lamb cost about $1 a pound and chops 75 cents poundn.
 These lambs are grown to ma- ture. at Easter time. They weigh between 20 and 25 pounds. You can find them only in the stores of high grade butchers, or in Greek, Rumanian or Armenian shops.
 Regular spring lambs weigh be- tween 38 and A pounds at Easter, and later in the spring between 42 and 48 pounds. They cost far less than baby lamb and are used generally for the Easter feast.
 Grown Roast of Lamb
 One of the most festive ways of serving young lamb for Easter is in the form of 8 crown roast It usually consists of from 13 to 1s rib chops cut from the rack. One chop and portion of dressing, ol vegetables used to fill the center of the crown, is served to each person.
 The carver steadies the crown roast by inserting the fork to the left between the ribs, and ther slices down through the center , between each two ribs. To roast, firse wipe with damp cloth and sprinkle with salt and pepper and bit of nutmeg. Have trimmings of meat ground. Sea- son with chopped chives, salt and pepper and place in center ot crown. Wrap g strip of salt porl, about thee nd of each chop to prevent burning.
 Place a rack in moderately slow oven (325 degrees F) and roast for two hours. Remove pork strips and place paper frill on each chop remove ground trimmings and fill center of crown with buttered head of cauliflower studded with green peac. Serve with brown gravy.

Your suggestion that persons suffering with allergic rhinitis, hay fever, asthma sinusitis and the like try taking five grains of potassium chloride in a glass of water two or three times a day, proved marvel ously effective in my case but I had a hard time getting potassium chloride.

 Potassium chloride is described in the National Formu- lary, but is not listed in the Phar- macopoeia. It has salty taste, but five grains in a glass of water is almost tasteless.

REMUNERATION DIET

1ESOVENAT1OM DIFF
 The character of the diet has something to do with the degen- efat.ve changes of premature old age, changes which begin normally in individuals past their prime, af- ter middle age, but in others as early as thirty or thirty-five.
 It should be clearly understood that the dietary suggestions offered here are not suitable for and might do harm in cases of anemia, chronic nephritis, myocarditis, dia- betes, cancer tuberculosis, apop- lexy. Only the physician who knows the patients condition and the in- dividual requirements can advise intelligently about the diet in any such circumstance.
 Senile degeneration manifests it. self in various ways in various cases. Some of the more familiar manifestations are gradually in- creasing disinclination or inabii- tty to exercise or make 8 physical effort which one formerly enjoyed doing; the occurrence of digestive difficulties or discomforts, such as "gas', bloating, sour stomach and Q sense of torpor and heaviness after eating; insidious development of so-calied rheumatic trouble": headaches; sallow, dry, harsh skin dull heavy eyes, accumulation of flabby corpulence, noticeable puff ing or shortness of breath on exer- tion. Individuals training for early senile decline frequently monkey for years with the "acidosis" H1on- sense. If by chance a medical ex- animation is made, say for life in- Surance or for appointment in some coveted position, the blood pressure may be found above nor- nal. At just what point actual hardening of the arteries, arteries clerosis, begins, it is difficult to de- termine by the senses or by the most accurate or precise diagnos- tic apparatus. Can you tell the in- stant the hair begins to turn gray or the week or month the body be- gins to lose the elasticity or re- silence of youth?
 Any change of diet that will re- duce the proportion of the daily energy requirement derived from refined carbohydrate (sugars ant starches and innumerable dishe. made chiefly with sugar corn. starch or refined white flour) anc increase the proportion derived from milk, eggs, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and whole cereals such a! wheat, oats, unpublished rice, vii tend to build up vite and may there fore be regarded as rejuvenatiol diet.
 Prof. Sherman estimates (Foot Products, Macmillan) that abou one-fourth of the daily calorieS o the average individual in th' United States are obtained iron sugar, and the daily intake of pro- tein, phosphorus, calcium, iron ant vitamins is proportionately dimin ished. Recent Investigations indi cate that we cannot assume tht, the ordinary diet provides such al abundance of these elements tha the high per capita sugar consump ton is of no consequence. Sherman suggests it would be an improve ment if sugar consumption wer reduced and the needed energy ob tained by increasing the consump ton of other food materials. Flo vite's sake I would say especaill! more fresh fruits and more sal ads (raw vegetable dishes), green and milk or milk products.

A pioneer Montana couple whose
lives are closely connected with
the early day history of the Treas
ure State were the principals in a
colorful and elaborate "golden
wedding" ceremony which took
place on the stage in front of the
grandstand as a feature of the
final night performance at the
Midland Empire fair at Billings.
They are Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Clay
Byam, who have been residents of
Billings for the last two decades. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Byam were residents of
Montana long before the third largest
state joined the union in 1889.
Byam came to Montana with his fam
lily in 1868, settling at Bannack City,
the first capital. Mrs. Byam arrived
in Butte with her mother in 1881. Mr..
and Mrs. Byam were married at Boze-
man on Nov. 80, 1886. with the Rev.
w. w. Spain officiating.
Although the Billings couple observed
their golden wedding anniversary near
ly two years ago, their lives and those
Of their family members played such
an important part in the formation of
the Treasure state that fair officials
selected them for the leading roles in
the golden wedding ceremony, which

Byam was the only son of the late
DR.. Don L. Byam, who was judge at
the miners court which tried and con-
victed George Ives, clubfooted member
of the notorious Henry Plummer's
road agents, who was the first man
n no INy in 1ar in,
Montana territory. Judge Byam. noted
pioneer of the territory, was born in
Virginia in 1914 He was in the Pixies
peak rush in 1859 and reached Ban
mack with his family in 1868. The
following year he settled in Alder
vada city, where he built house in
which several road agents later were
hanged. Judge Byam died in Emigrant
gulch in April, 1888, and is buried in
the old Emigrant cemetery.
The two Humphrey brothers. Ollie
and Christian, who were among the
first white men to locate mining claims
were Mrs. Byams uncles. With a pack
mule to carry their bedrolls and sup
plies, the Humphreys arrived on foot
at the site Of the richest hill on
earth"
The Humphrey brothers located
quartz claims on ground now covered
by the Butte business district, later
selling the properties after sinking
shallow prospect holes. The Alice mine,
later on the the Mining city's big pro-
ducers, was originally located by the
brothers and named after a cousin OF
Mrs. Byam.
Mrs Byam, then Ida M. Brown,
came to Butte with her mother in
1881 to join the Humphrey brothers.
