Because knitting is so popular
now, most of us know how the
long, loose stitches we work into
our patterns not only snag but
wear out quicker than the more
tightly knitted background.
And, that's exactly what hap.
pens when we select fabrics that
have long, loose stitches in their
pattern.
For example: two buck towels
were sent to a professional laundry
for testing. Both towels were iden-
teal except that one was brand
new, the other had been Numbered
a number of times.
The owner wasn't complaining,
but definitely was curious to know
why the colored woven stripes in
the used towel had worn off SO
quickly when the main part Of the
towel was still in good condition.
Physical examination Of the
towels showed that the only diff.
ferenr. in their construction was
in the colored work. area TO the
towel. Here, instead of the even
weaving present in the main, white
part of the towel, the colored
threads had been carried over
eight welt threads, under two WARP
threads and then over eight again.
~effecting a longer and loosen span
of threads in the colored stripe.
This was necessary to give the
appearance of solid colo"ing in
the stripe. But, the long, threads
were left less protected from
normal FRACTIONAL wear and so wore
off quicker.
THE body of the towel, how
ever, was woven with the white
threads carried over two Wet
threads, under two and over two.

weave that wears much longer.

MORE EGGS, MORE PROFIT
IN WELL MANAGED FLOCK.

One farm woman makes twice as
much money as another from her
chickens. Here are two records for
1889 from southwestern Minnesota.
Mrs. A. had $158 to spend from her
flock of 700 hens. Mrs. B. made only
$50.
The principal reason for the diff
ference was in egg production. Mrs.
AS hens laid 181 eggs each, while Mrs.
BIS managed only lis. A Six-dozen
egg difference even at last years prices
would just about account for the diff
ference in return. Perhaps the main
reason for the lower egg production in
Mrs. BIS flock was not enough mash
it made up only one-fifth of the total
feed. Mrs. A's flock ate two-fifths of
their total feed in the form of mash.
While Mrs. B paid $215 hundred
for commercial mash, Mrs. A mixed her
own at well under $500 hundred.
Her feed price was the same as that of
Mrs. BIS.
Death loss was about the same in
the two flocks with Mr. A. having a
slightly lower loss in her chicks. Mrs.
B probably had later Matched pullets
for they laid only four eggs each in
November, 1888, as compared with 10
in Mrs. AS flock.
Look over your records. Maybe
few changes in management will bring
a larger cash income-Cora Cooke,

MOUSETRAP CAFETERIA
SUGGESTED BY SCIENTIST.

Exploding the popular theory that
cheese is the best bait for trapping
mice, Donald NJ Hatfield, instructor
in economic zoology, University Farm,
st. Paul, says the ordinary two-for-a-
nickel snap traps are still the best
home control method.
Hatfield suggests buying a dozen
traps and experimenting with various
types of bait, such as dry bread, flour,
bits of butter, dry rolled oats, peanut
butter or .raiSinS. Set the traps at
intervals along the walls of the infested
rooms and close to the Dashboard. OBJ

quently and use it for all twelve traps.
Human scent" from handling traps
will not be noticed by the mice.
The Entomology division does not
recommend any of the commercial
poison preparations on the market.
They seem less efficient than trapping
and rodents may die in the building.
If, under certain conditions, poisoning
is necessary, the Division of Enton-
ology, University Farm, st. Paul, will

August Erickson Of the Springfield
Advance Press takes rap at the state
unemployment tax when he says: over
a hundred men who have drawn high
wages during the spring, summer and
fall, have gone to California to spend
the winter and left word with the un-
employment compensation division to
forward their checks there. The tax
is so unjust that it should be wiped
out entirely, but if that can't be done,
at least it should be amended to pro-
vide that no compensation be paid to
any man whose earnings exceed $1,000
in the previous twelve months. Under
the present set-up, the man who needs
compensation the least gets the biggest
check. Why not call it relief and quit
kidding ourselves. Unemployment COM
pensation sounds dignified. Mind you,
we don't blame the fellow that gets it.
He didn't even ask for the law. The
politicians gave it to him in the hope
of getting his vote"

Anxiety is the Cause of
Much Chronic Indigestion.

One common form of indigestion
never yields to ordinary medical treat
ment and, in many cases, the patient
himself has to be his own doctor
Because this type of indigestion
causes the complaints Of about Is per
cent of the people who apply for help,
it was chosen as the subject of the
final bulletin of the Minnesota State
Medical associations series on Appendix
citis and Dyspepsia issued by the as
sociation's committee on public health
education today.
Functional indigestion is the doctors
name for this type of indigestion, ac-
cording to the bulletin. There is
nothing organically wrong with the vic
tim in this case and no diet or pill
will give him more than the most
fleeing relief. The trouble is not with
his "innards," the doctors say, but
with the stress and strain of daily
living. Most people who suffer from
functional indigestion are between the
ages of 25 and 38 when life is likely
to be hardest and responsibilities press
most heavily. Recent studies have
shown that the proportion of women
among them is higher than the pro-
portion of men; but all of them are
abnormally nervous and apprehensive
and nothing much can be done to re-
lieve their digestive troubles until they
themselves have learned to worry les
and laugh oftener and generally take
life easier.
Anxiety and emotion not infrequently
produce changes in the chemical anc
motor mechanics of digestion that are
difficult to distinguish from organic
disorders, according to the bulletin
People who suffer from any such dis.
orders should have careful examin-
ations to be sure that the trouble i.
not some organic condition that need.
immediate attention. If no such con.
dition exists then ways must Sc found
by the patients themselves to ease the
tension of their lives.

Showed under the worst during many
years of tournament competition, the
Memorial high school boys and girls
swimming teams returned from the
state meets last weekend without a
single first place between them.
Captain Peggy Lambert of the mer-
maids won second in the fancy diving,
the nearest Ely came to obtaining the
recognition that it usually achieves
Of the five boys who attended the
state meet, held at Minneapolis, two
survived the preliminaries in the in
dividual events, and a like number of
the II girls who went to Virginia
qualified to enter the finals, The
medley relay teams of both squads also
got through the preliminaries.
The boys meet was one of the fastest
ever conducted, Coach Ed Haapaniemi
stated. Albin Markun, who swan the
220-yard freestyle in 2:33 for fourth
place in the preliminaries, also came
in fourth in the finals of this event
which was over the 2O0-yard route.
Captain Joe Atkins placed fifth in the
100-yard backstroke in the prelims,
being clicked at 1903, but was nosed
out of fifth place in the finals.
Captain Atkins, Wayne Bolitho and
Eugene McCarty swan the first round
of the 150-yard medley relay in 1908
to take fourth place and finished in
fourth place in the finals.
Captain Lambert moved up one
notch over last year in the diving as
did her competitor, Natalie Erickson,
Virginia, who captured first place. At
the 1889 meet, Miss Erickson was sec
ond, behind Mabel Lampi, the champi-
on, and Miss Lambert was third.
The Virginia and Ely spring board
artists waged close battles in both the
preliminaries and the finals. In the
former, Miss Erickson was only one
point ahead of Miss Lambert, the score
being 61.5 to COS. In the champion
ship competition, however, the Queen
City girl was given 1873 points and the
Vernilion range diver $685.
In the preliminaries, Waynetta Hill

fourth in the finals. Nashwauk's 15O-
yard medley relay team beat Ely out
in the prelims in the competition for
fourth and fifth place, but the Mem
orial high paddlers turned the tables
on Nashwauk in the finals The quail
flying time was 1887. On the team
were Doris Butala, Mildred Somers and

REQUIRE Tree
REMOVAL TAGS
Transporting Conifers From
One Part of State to Another
Calls for Forestry Tag.

1t is a violation of state law to
transport from one part of the state
to another growing evergreen without
tag attached showing that they have
been properly inspected by the di-
vision of entomology, University of
Minnesota, or the forestry division of
the state department of conservation.
This is the information sent out to
inquirers by Ray Clement, forester in
charge of nurseries and planting.
Nurseries are exempt from this pro-
vision of the state forestry acts but
are regulated by another law, he points
out.
Another thing the act requires in this
connection is that the person trans
porting the evergreens must be able to
show written consent to removal by
the owner of the land from which such
trees, saplings or shrubs have been re-
moved. All this applies to such grow
ing evergreens with the roots intact.
Evergreens cut from the stumps.
such as Christmas trees, and to be
used for decorative or other purposes.
to be legally transferred within the
state, must have two-cent forestry tag
attached. Provided, however, that any
person may cut and transport for his
own use within or from outside the
state, not more than three trees in a
single year.
According to Mr.. Clement, the pur-
poses of these taggings are two-fold:
to prevent the spreading of disease in
fected stock; and to regulate the cutting
so as to eliminate bootlegging and
waste and promote permanent forests.
Removing evergreen trees, saplings or
shrubs without the written consent of
the landowner constitutes a mis-
demeanor for the first offense and a
gross misdemeanor for repetitions.
Transporting without the tags is a gross
misdemeanor

SALT AND SODA BATH is
WAY TO CLEAN SILVER.

If you would like a quick easy method
for polishing the silver. try salt, soda
and boiling water in an aluminium pan.
Begin by shining up vour aluminium
pan. You must use aluminium, and
you must have it bright to do the job
Fill the pan about two thirds full of
water, and to each quart of water add
teaspoon of salt and teaspoon Of
baking soda. When tie water boils,
place the furnished silver IN it so that
each piece either touches either the pan
or another piece of silver that is in
contact with the aluminium. Place the
silver in the hot soiuC:on for not longer
than one or two minutes. Lift it cut
with tongs, wash it in soap suds, rinse
and dry. OF course, if you want more
satiny finish, you can add extra shine
with silver polish.
Don't clean hollow-nandled silver
knives in a salt and soda bath for the
handles may come off in the boiling
water. Be sure other silver is washed
and rinsed thoroughly after cleaning.
