Captivating
Whoever thought up the morning
coat or breakfast coat added a new
Joy to life It has taken Its bright
place In our midst and is welcome to’
stay and' destined to do Just that for
the rest of time It will take a great
Inspiration to create something equally
captivating to replace It
The morning coat Is a gay and pretty
garment made of light-colored taffeta
on the lines of a regulation coat It
Is dignified enough to appear at the
breakfast table and frivolous enough
i to be charmin' It Is long reaching
almost to the bottom of the lacy petti-
coat that Is Its companion for life
It has a coat collar and a belt and fast-
ens at the front like any other coat
In the matter of sleeves it Is wayward
refusing to go further than elbow or
three-quarter length
In the coat shown In the picture
there are pockets at each side edged
with shirred bands of taffeta This
finish Is used on the sleeves and down
the front of the coat and the buttons
“Furward” March!

pear to be the end of their Imagina-
tions One might think It contrary to
the'Constltutlon In the realm of style
to leave out fur for it is everywhere
But If the designers haven’t fur then
they use fnhrlcs that suggest It and
feathers "
Very " small neckpieces made to
mntch nccount partly for the partial-
ity shown to fur Just a touch of
fur on the hat and a high collar like
a small muffler of the some fur to be
worn wilh the hat leaves no doubt
In the mind ns to the smnrtest thingln

are covered with taffeta They fastec
through cords made by covering cable
cord with the silk Instead of shirred
bands full box-plaltlngs made of nar-
row stcips of silk frayed out Into

Almost anyone could make a coat of
this kind If it were worth while to
spend the time but they are so Inex-
pensive ready made that there Is noth-
ing to be gained by doing the work
at home
Of course nothing could look bet-
ter with a breakfast coat than the lit-
tle lace cap that has a remott resem-
blance to' a sunbonnht' with Its cape of
lace behind and frill over tire face
The ribbon that extends across the top
of It ties at the nape of the neck in
the back and Is of the same color as
the coat The tiniest chiffon flowers

The hat at the left Is of brown bat-

EGGS OF ANY DESIRED SIZE
Expert of United States- Deportment
of Agriculture Has Adopted
Gauge for Farmers
Mr Frank C Hare In his work f°r
the United States department of agri-
culture among the South Carolina
farmers has adopted the accompany
Ing egg gauge so that the farmers can
select eggs of the desired Sizev An egS
that will not enter the hole crosswise
Is a standard sized egg and will weigh
two ounces or more An egg whose
smaller dimensions is less than one
and five-eighths Inches the distance
An Egg Gauge
between the two points of the gauge
Is rejected for sending to market It
might be well to fashion one for yoqf
own use' -
DETERMINE AGE OF POULTRY
While There le No Posltlya pule to fid
By There Are Certain Condi
tlone to Guest By
Strictly speaking' there is no p0gl
tlve test for the age of poultry- HoW
ever a close guess can be made vn
der certain conditions For Instance-
the size of spurs generally dlstin
gulshes a two-year-old bird! yet the
writer has had young birds develop
spurs that would have done credit
to older birds On the other hsiffd
he has had two-year-olq pirds wjth
spurs that were as short and rounded
as those of a cockerel q-0 some e’X
tent the texture of the leg is a guide-
and so Is the delicacy and freshness
of the skin of the face and comb yet
there will be occasional hens that have
a youthful appearance to a remarkable
degree
Probably a better test I? the skin
of the body that of the older y0wl
being coarser and drlgr in apPearance-
A pullet will show rose-Coiored vein
on the surface of the skin under the
wings Long silky hairs Wnl also b0'
grown there but after the pullet fin
become a year old these hairs and
veins will disappear and the kl wl
grow white and veinless
It Is more difficult to determine tha
age of water fowls than u is of other
poultry
COOPS FOR FATTENING HENS
Object Is to Reduce Exercise and IX
crease Consumption of pst-Pro
duclng Materials
Fattening rations are not complh
cated or need not be to bring fair re
suits The principle of fattening 1
to reduce the exercise nd Increase
the consumption of fat-Pr°ducTn0
food If the farmer possesses a nuffl1
ber of small shed-roof brood coop3
such as are used for sitting bens with
chicks these coops will be floe for fat-
tening hens Each coop win accommo-
date about five hens without crowding
and they win have little opportunity
for fighting or scratching peed them
three times each day from a PaU con
talnlng a sloppy mixture of sour mill
and cora meal and allow the hens to
eat all they will consume After each
feeding remove the pan bo that an?
-emaintng feed will not become con
tamlnated with dirt and cause tb
birds to lose their appetites
PROPER FEED FOR PULLETS
Almost Impossible to Overfeed Younfl
Fowls— If Not Given Variety
They Will Not Grow-
It Is surprising the quantity of Jood
that young pullets will consume H
is almost Impossible to oTerfeed them-
for unlike the hen In laying condition-
they take on fat very slowly- H how-
ever they are improperly' fed and dc
not obtain k proper variety °f food
fhey will not grow either in size o!
velght and will be very 8i0w In com-
ng to the laying point

GOLD LIES BURIED
Treasure Hidden in Texas Not
Found by Searchers
‘Spanish Loot Was Obtained During
Victorious March of Mexicans
Under Sant Ann R 1836
One of the stories of burled treasure
known to every 0id Texan and par-
ticularly to Mexicans Is that delating
to a vast sum In Spanish gold and Jew-
elry hurled at the root of a tree near
what is now Summit Place
The Btory deals with the victorious
march of the Mexican troops under
Santa Anna In 1830 when after the
Alamo and after Goliad they went to
meet the little band of Texas patriots
at San Jacinto On the march follow-
ers of the Mexican leader are said to
hafe Possessed themselves of money
and Jewelry In large quantities Santa
Anna Is declared to have confiscated
all this wealth intending later to re-
store It to Its owners
But Santa Anna never had the op-
portunity Gen Sam Houston met the
Mexicans at San Jacinto and before
the sun had set 0n April 21 the Tex-
ang bad routed the Mexicans Santa
Anna and a large part of his forces
were taken prisoners but not all of
them- The treasure bearers are said
to have escaped and started for Mex-
ico On arrival t San Antonio where
news of the decisive defeat of Santa
Anna had been received they were
afraid to venture farther with their
precious burden
Beside a gnarled oak to the north of
San Antonio some distance from the
Camlno Heal- the men are said to have
burled the treasure This oak tree Is
known to inany nd even at this late
date gold hunters have dug In search
of the pile
'on Salinas 8treet San Antonio are
two ramshackle huts accredited with
holding a fortune of gold and silver
One of them at least seventy-five
years of age was once the haunt of a
band of French freebooters whose
leader Wore a huge black beard These
men' the legend says used to absent
themselves from San Antonio for days
at a time and their return always co-
incided with stories of wagon trains
being held up and looted The re-
port says they burled much of their
loot 1° the floor of the adobe hut and
Bearcbers for It have appeared off and
on for half a century- The most re-
cent was a half-Indian "medicine man"
who came there from San Marcos
about three yeara ago The man car-
ried divining rod and sought to lo-
cate the treasure by Its means The
various holes he and others dug are
still visible
Health of Prisoners
Those who study prisons and try to
find Why men get there will be In-
terested ia this news from New York
city °at of WOO men of military age
registered on June 5 In penal Institu-
tions of that city iess than 5 per cent
Were Physically fit for service In
Blackwell’s island prison not one was
fit for the army Every one was a
Physical discard A great many per-
sons who have studied such things
much win say that perhaps the physi-
cal condition of these young men may
be the chief reason for their presence
In prison And most of ns feel quite
sure that fine healthy bodies and nor-
mal minds are most likely to keep their
owners out of Prison It Is with some
satisfaction that We reflect upon tbe
fact that this war wW do a great deal
to make human bodies stronger and
healthier— and to that extent make
Prison useless— mmols state Jour

-1 Remedy for Caterpillar plague
An efficient modern remedy for the
caterpillar plague seems yet to seek
and no one apparently cares to resort
to the methods of the past In the year
1120 the bishop of Laon sought to stay
eucb plague by solemn sentence of
excommunication against the Insects
and n later centuries this procedure
Was frequently repeated one admo-
nition dated 1518 runa: "We grant the
request of tb® Inhabitants of Vlllenore
and warn the caterpillars to retire
within six days jn default of this we
declare them accursed and excommu-
nicated" tflflth a nice feeling for Jus-
tice an advocate was appointed in one
Instance to plead the cause of the in-
sects against that of the farmers be-
fore sentence was pronounced-
Land Where Childhood Cherlahed
Japan has ‘been called the Land of
the ChrygaDtherouma and the Land of
the Cherry Bl°s8oms It may well be
called the Land where Children are
Loved
There i8 probably no country In
the 'World where childhood Is more
deeply cherished than In Japan where
such- Pains are tsfken to make child-
hood happy where the education of
children is made to brighten Instead
of clouding the sunny morning of life

USE LEGS1 TO DRIVE HORSES
Cavalrymen Must Keep Hands Free
to Fight With— Each Man
a Regular Armory
A cavalryman must learn to drive
by the pressure of Lis legs so both
his hands will be free to fight with
for a cavalryman Is a regular armory
all to himself He 'carries a pistol -a
rifle and a saber and he must be
able to use' them freely without being
thrown from his-horse
There’s something very romantic
about the cavalry something very
thrilling about the thunder of hun-
dreds of horses' hoofs something that
makes one’s neart leap with joy— or
terror or a mixture of both For my-
self If I were "the enemy” I believe
Td much rather face a machine gun
than a cavalry charge writes Mary
Woodson Shlppey In the Southern
Woman’s Magazine But somehow
the cavalry has not proven practicable
in the present war and as France and
England can furnish about all that
might be needed moat of our cavalry
are to be made Into artillery because
of tbe great need of artillery
In fact all the new cavalry regi-
ments are to be trained as artillery-
men while the old ones are being
trained as infantrymen although they
will all keep their designation as cav-
alrymen This gives them a double
dose of training— for they must be
able to drill equally well afoot or on
horseback — as well as a double lot
to leara But they all Insist to a man
that they’re not Infantrymen — or
“doughboys” and "leather-necks” as
they derisively call them — but "dis-
mounted cavalry” And so be It since
they are so terribly proud of their
branch of the service and so loyal
to It
There were fully as many or more
of these "dismounted cavalrymen” up
on the hills going through regular In-
fantry drill as there were cavalrymen
astride horses— hundreds ff them
olive-drab units marching marching
everywhere among the wheeling cir-
cling horses making one dizzy Just
watching And standing about on
lone prominences were various offi-
cers silent alert their horses like
statues— if statues could switch an-
grily at flies— their keen eyes watch-
ing very critically this army of these
United States grow picking out the
mistakes and flaws In under-officers
and men
It gave one a strange comforted
feeling— a strange Impression of a
determination to see to It that all
these hundreds of boys were perfect
In all the tricks of the trade so they
could take care of themselves And
how young the most of them seemed I
Slim smooth-cheeked boys thelf faces
just growing up to the square manli-
ness of their trim shoulders for the
cavalry takes younger boyl than any
other branch of the service
Good Resolution Didn't Last
When Nathaniel Ripple was Just a
youngster he did very little work about
the place In fact he didn't do any-
thing But one day when he was al-
most ten years of v age he decided to
take some of the work off his mother’s
shoulders When breakfast was over
he ordered his mother to the front
porch He was going to wash the
dishes for ber When they were fin-
ished he called her to look nt them
and she was very much surprised She
could hardly believe that he had done
all that work by himself Then he
told her that he was going to wash
them for her every meaL Of course
she was glad and she told him he
might run out and play Him play?
Not a bit of It He took the broom
and swept every floor In the house
Mrs Ripple who Is a very truthful
woman said that he swept them Just
as good as she could have done it her-
self He then informed her that he
was going to sweep them for her every
day That was the last time Nathaniel
ever washed the dishes or' swept the
floors— Claude Gallon In Kansas City

Bible War Bread Recipe i
The ninth verse of the fourth chap-
ter of Ezekiel reads as follows : "Take
thou also unto thee wheat and barley
and beans and lentlles and millet
and put them In one vessel and
make thee bread thereof"
In the thirteenth ' century David
vntnchl the commentator wrote "The
prophet thus warns the disobedient
children of Israel that during the
siege of Jerusalem they will not long-
er he able to make their bread with
pure wheat but they will have to mix
it with all kinds of grain and vegeta-
bles with which flour is not made un-
less extreme need makes It necessary
to do so”
War bread In Enrope Is now made
according to the recipe of Ezekiel
But It Is not baked with the same kind
of fuel For particulars see Ezekiel

could hardly endure the misery” says

first got up my back
was so lame I could
hardly bend over and
any move sent darts of
pain through my kid-

darts of pain through
me
"Ths kidney secre-

the water remained in my system mak-
ing my feet and hands swell There
were dark circles under my eyes and
I became so dizzy I could hardly see
I had rheumatic pains in my knees and
it was all 1 could do to get around
