PARISIAN DRESSMAKERS WORK
FOR ITS ADOPTION.
Plants Improve Climate, Conserve
Soil and Moisture, and Every
Effort Should Be Put Forth to
Provide Ample Protection.
Trees are inviting and encouraging
to outdoor life. It is partly for this
advantage that many city people who
have the means seek homes In the
suburbs and farther in the country.
There they can enjoy trees In their
native splendor and fill their lungs
with the pure oxygen generated by
the abundance of plant life.
The commercial value of the tree
should appeal to those who are not
touched by Its esthetic value. Every
man should realize that a tree bor-
dered farm or city street means an
Increase in value of the property with
the growth of the trees.
Trees Improve climate, conserve the
soil and the moisture, and every effort
should be put forth to protect and
save the trees we now have and more
trees of the right kind should be
planted.
Tree surgery is a profession which
has grown to considerable importance,
and in this way sick and diseased
trees are being restored to health.
Briefly, tree surgery consists In cut-
ting out the rotted parts of the trees
and filling the cavities thus; made with
some substance which will make the
cavity water and air tight. Most of
these cavities are the results of Im-
proper trimming A stub is left where
a branch has been amputated This
stub. Into which the living sap no
longer flows, becomes saturated with
moisture, rot spores become active,
the stub soon rots off, leaving the be-
ginning of a pocket or cavity, which
is gradually Increased by the action of
the rot spores and boring Insects.
Then the birds and squirrels begin to
build their nests In these cavities and
help to Increase them until almost the

It Is Not Desirable to Place Staples
or Hoops in Green Concrete—Sim-
ple Plan Is Described.
There are numerous methods of at-
taching wire fencing to concrete posts.
Some makers place staples or wire
loops In the green concrete; others
make holes in the posts. The former

to Be a Favorite.
Several notable Parisian dressmak-
ers are reviving the long tunic. Some
of the latest Callot models give thif
effect; Redfern also seems to favoi
the long, graceful tunic. But In all
cases the underdress is quite as full
as the tunic; indeed, the latter gives
the effect of a double skirt, or lm
mensely long flounce.
A Callot model, recently worn at
Biarritz by the duchess do Arion, lady
in-waiting to the queen of Spain, had
| an underdress of black charmeuse and
a very long tunic of old yellow lace.
1 On the hips, under the lace tunic,
there was a deep insertion of silver
i lace, worked over with tiny beads in
various shades of red, blue and gray.
There were full lace sleeves, caught
in at the wrist by bands of beaded sil-
ver lace, and a touch of rose pink was
very cleverly introduced on the cor-
sage. With this charming garden-
party dress the duquesa wore a large,
flat-brimmed hat, made of black chif-
fon and lined with black chip.

Methods of Attaching Fence Wire to
Concrete Posts.
CRETONNE TOQUE
*
On the other hand, holes through the
posts weaken them, and therefore this
method is, in general, unsatisfactory.
The simplest, easiest, and cheapest
ay of fasteuing a wire fence to a con-
crete post Is by encircling the post
with a wire one sizo less than the cor-
responding wire in the fence proper
and by twisting this wire around the
strand of the fence. This Is done in I
two ways. The fastening wire is
placed around the post, twisted upon •
itself and then to the fence wire; or
one end of tho fastening wire Is twist-1
ed around the fence wire, and the free
end Is then carried around the post
and twisted on the other side to the
same wire. Either plan is good, but
care must be taken to draw the fasten-
ing wire tight, or else stock trying to
get through tho fence may raise or
crush down the, fencing with their
heads. If any trouble is experienced, [
the post should be roughened at the
fastening point with a cold chisel.
Expansion and contraction of the
fence due to heat and cold are cared j
for by the tension curves or "kinks" j
in the woven-wlre fencing, and no fear
may bo felt in drawing the fastening
wires as tight as necessary. Wooden
nailing strips should never be em- j
bedded in the posts, for moisture will
swell the wood and crack the con-
crete.

The proper way to proceed Is to
clean out the entire cavity, UBing
chisel or gouge to remove all the rot

the cavity with a solution of copper
sulphate made by dissolving in
wooden vessel, one-fourth of a pound
of copper sulphate In ten gallons of
water. This solution can be sprayed
Into the cavity by means of a small
hand pump. This solution will kill all
the remaining rot spores and the cav

ALMOST FAINTED
WHILE STANDING
And Suffered Dreadfully From
Headache, Backache and Diz-
ziness. Says Now That
Women Are Foolish
To Suffer and
Tells Why.
New Augusta, Miss—In relating her
eiperience, Miss Irene II. Craft, of
this town, says: "I have been troubled
for a right smart while with female
weakness. I was irregular . . . and
was down In bed about all the time.
I had chills and fever with these trou-
bles for at least a year, and a great
deal of dizziness, headache and back-
ache.
When I was sick at each month, I
had to stay in bed all the time, be-
cause my back would ache and my
head would swim so that I would al-
most faint If I stood on my feet.
I endured this for about three years.
Finally, I began to doctor with a doc-
tor. He did not help me much. Then
he recommended Cardul, and I began
to take it. I took about one bottle and
felt much better. I have taken a whole
lot now. and feel Just all right. I have
no backache, headache, or dftzlnass
now.
I think women are foolish to suffer
when they can take so helpful a rem-
edy as Cardul, and I surely praise it to
every one."
If you suffer from any of the ailments
so common to women, why not give
Cardul a trial?
Such earnest statements as the
above speak for themselves, and we
receive thousands of similar ones
every year.

NEW GARMENT HAS CHARM
Rape Crop Is Valuable.
As a forage crop rape Is valuable on
account of the cheapness of the pas- j
ture, the large quantity of feed fi-
nished. the health of the hogs on the
pasture, and because it adds variety
to the ration and is available at a time
when other pastures may be short.
Keep Onions Dry.
Onions should not be allowed to
get wet when being harvested, as this
roughens the skin and makes them un-
sightly.
Ducklings Are Delicate.
Runner ducklings are very delicate
when hatched, and must have good
care.
Corset Cover, Easily Made at Home,
Will Be Source of Gratification
te Its Wearer.
If you are tired of Just underwaists
and corset covers, the sleeveless, low-
bust kind and tho wee camisole, try
making this quite new garment for
wear under your blouse.
Buy one yard of white silk muslin
at 25 cents a yard, one and one-fourth
yards of narrow, stout lace and two
skeins of white mercerized cotton.
Make a waist by kimono pattern with
very short sleeves, folding the goods
crosswise. Cut the neck V shape in
front and slightly rounded or equally
V'd behind; have the fronts of the
waist one-eighth Inch longer than the
back. Scallop the entire edge and ends
of sleeves aud do it in buttonhole
stitch, preferably well padded. Then
put a double row of French eyelets
inside the buttonhole stitching. The
seams are under the arms. Put these
seams together with the lace; down
the front put the lace also, tacking to
one side; the other side may be fas-
tened with tiny snaps or with wee gold
pins. Turn up the bottom of the waist
and fit by means of rubber band run
through the hem made. This, by the
way, is the easiest way to finish all
blouses Just now.
Lace blouses are usually lined with
chiffon, and the chiffon shrinks when
the blouse is washed, leaving a gar-
ment that has lost Its loveliness.
With the new corset cover chiffon lin-
ings can be removed before the first
washing. No lining is needed with
such an underwaist.
Equatorial Michigan.
Representative Billy Wilson, who
dwells in Chicago, found himself in
the upper peninsula of Michigan do-
ing some fishing and hunting. While
there he conversed with the guide that
he had hired In order to have some-
body around to talk to.
"Must get mighty all-fired cold up
here in winter," remarked Wilson one
morning.
"Yes, it often gets away down to 4S
below zero," replied the native.
"Don't see how you stand it," said
the congressman.
"Oh, I always spend my winters in
the South," explained the guide.
"Go South, eh? Well, well! That's
enterprising. And where do you go?"
"Grand Rapids," said the guide.—

What Mamma Said.
Little pitchers not only have long
ears, but wide mouths sometimes.
One of these Is in Buffalo, and when
the bell rang the other day, she went
to the door, where she found some
ladies.
"My dear," said one, "will you
please tell your mother that we would
like to see her?"
The child departed silently, and aft-
er a while returned, sat down and si-
lently watched the callers.
Well," said one, at length, "and
what did mamma say?"
"She said, Oh, dear! I don't want
to, but I s'pose I must."

DESIGNED FOR YOUNG MISS
Many Attractive Features Have Been
Provided—Belted Coats Are
Among the Favored Ones.
The box coat for misses is very
youthful and becoming. Another
style for misses Is the flare coat, the
fullness starting from the shoulders
and occasionally from a small yoko
This is also made quite short and
Jaunty. Sometimes these coats are
mado with a flare back and a more fit-
ted front. Russian styles are well
liked for young people. Some of them
fasten at the side, while others button
up the front.
Belted coats will also be worn to
a great extent. Sometimes the belt
appears only at the sides, while In
others It appears only In back and
front. Many times belts are placed at
a low waist line. High collars are
worn with almost all suits, frequently
arranged so as to be worn either open
or closed. Coat sleeves are In regu-
lation style, set on at a low shoulder
or in modified raglan effect. Flare and
gauntlet cuffs are often used as a fin-
ishing touch and are frequently of fur
or velvet.
Skirts are In various styles. SlmpU
suits are In gored, modified, circular
style or with plaits at sides, front or

HARD ON CHILDREN
When Teacher Has Coffee HabiL
"Best is best, and best will ever
live." When a person feels this way
about Postum they are glad to give
testimony for the benefit of others.
A school teacher down in Miss, says;
"I had been a coffee drinker since my
childhood, and the last few years it
had injured me seriously.
"One cup of coffee taken at break-
fast would cause me to become so
nervous that I could scarcely go
through with the day's duties, and this
nervousness was often accompanied
by deep depression of spirits and heart
palpitation.
"1 am a teacher by profession, and
when under the influence of coffee had
to struggle against crossness when In
the school room.
"When talking this over with my
physician, he suggested that I try
Postum, so I purchased a package and
made it carefully according to direc-
tions; found it excellent of flavour,
and nourishing.
"In a short time I noticed very grati-
fying effects. My nervousness disap-
peared, I was not irritated by my pu-
pils, life seemed full of sunshine, and
my heart troubled me no longer.
"I attribute my change in health and
spirits to Postum alone."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum comes in two forms;
Postum Cereal—the original form-
must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pack-
ages.
Instant Postum—a soluble powder—
dissolves quickly In a cup of hot wa-
ter. and. with cream and sugar, makes
a delicious beverage Instantly. 30c

Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost about the same per cup.
