DECORATION FOR THE TABLE
Arrangement of Fruit Is Always Effec-
tive and at the Same Time
Economical
Fruit of all kinds lends Itself to rich
color effects If one understands har-
monious arrangements. Too much of
It is thrown in anyhow with no gain
In beauty.
A centerpiece of fruit Is economical
as well as artistic as it can servo as
a last course. If one happens to own
old fashioned sliver cake baskets two
of them can be placed at either end
of an oval tray wreathed In flowers
of whertloberry foliage with Its rich
tint of red and yellow and filled with
ferns and small yellow flowers. In
the baskets can be heaped oranges
apples bananas and grapes.
An outer oval can be formed of
orango candlesticks with pale yellow
shades Between tho candles may go
small bonbon dishes oval In form
masked with orange tlHsue paper. Fa-
vors at each plato could bo filled with
candy.
A simpler decoration Is a largo glass
basket of fruit In tho center of tho
tabic nnd small Individual baskets at
each plate. Thcso smaller bnskcts
can bo bought reasonably In sovcral
rIzcb They aro always useful for
Dowers or Individual nut dishes.
Popular Hatpins.
For cverday wear silver hatpins are
popular. Tboro aro many Bhapcs

gonal heads others round nnd flat
others In cubic form etc. Most nt-
tractlvo aro thoso with chased do-
signs. There aro also mnny of thcso
silver pins set with stones round Jade
cornelian coral nnd lapis lazuli set-
tings being tho most attractive.
Among tho handsomer pins there are
beautiful Jeweled heads qulto largo
nd many of them set with pearls or
pearl matrix Hurrounded by several
rows of brllllnnts. Colored stones arc
set In tho sniuo manner so that the
aictal docs not show nt nil The flat-
tened hciuluplinra seems to bo tho

MOB COIFFURE LOOKS WELL
English Idea of Dressing the Hair
That Has Much to Recommend
It to Favor
A girl Just homo from England Is
showing a pleasing variety of the mob
coiffure that Is a relief after the mon-
strosities some of our women make
of themselves when they adopt the
prevailing stylo of halrdresslng. The
hair Is gently waved over the entire
head in long loose waves nelth'er so
stiff nor so regular as marcelling. The
front and back hair Is then divided
and brushed lightly over a potlcho to
give a full rounding look to the head.
The front hair when It Is becoming
Is partod a little to one side and
brushed In loose waves. The rest of
the hair either ones own or bought
In a thick twisted not plaited coll
around tho head in such a way that
there la a soft finish of front hair un-
derneath the coll to outline and soften
tho fncc.
Most women when they attempt this
stylo of coiffure cither push tho hair
down to the eyobrows giving a com-
mon look or show no front hair un-
der braids making them most unbe-
coming. Another advantage of hav-
ing tho hair brought over a potlche
front and back Is that thero aro no
tint beaded spots on the head nor does
tho crown look as If a brush or comb
had not touched it for weeks.

WEARING OUT
FARM QUICKLY
Rich Soil Rendered Sterile
Through Continuous Bad Cropping-
and Bad Manaacmcnt
of Fertility.
(By ARTHUIl 8. nn.i)
"Our Inexhaustibly rich soil" and
many similar expressions to Indicate
that the land would never become less
productive were quite common a dec-
ade ago. But you seldom bear such
words now; they are passing away
with many other thoughtless conceits.
But whoever heard of a man taking
a piece of virgin soil and literally
wearing It out in his own lifetime?
A most Impressive Illustration of
this very thing recently came under
the writer's personal observation a
tew miles from Carbondalc In south-
ern Illinois.
A man now well along In his nine-
ties is living upon a 120-acre farm
which he secured from the govern-
ment about sixty years ago at $1.25 an
acre. The place has never been trans-
ferred to another person.
It was good ground and used to
produce 35 bushels of wheat per acre
but has been farmed so constantly to
corn. and wheat without any Intelli-
gent rotation or provision to return
tho plant food taken off In the crops
that now the produce of the land bare-
ly enables the occupants to exist.
The last wheat crop was two bush-
els per acre. Probably less than ten
bushels of corn per acre were raised
there this year. The land can bo
counted on for little if any more than
a quarter of an average crop. Some
of this land must lie Idle every year
to "rest up" for the next crop as the
writer saw.
A near-by farmer has 40 bushels of
corn per acre and may have above 30
buBhels per acre this year. Land Is a
good price In that locality.
For any real farming that contem
TRACTION ENGINE FOR FARM
The engine herewith shown Is a
traction gasoline cnglno the traction
part of which 1 made myself. It has
a forward speed of from five to six
rnllps an hour nnd a back speed two-
thirds slower writes W. N. Marblo in
Farmer's Kevlow. Tho englno alone
weighs about 900 pounds and tho com-
plete outfit about 1800 pounds. It Is
only four feet wide from one end of
axle to tho other and I can run it
through a gate way four feet one inch
wldo so you sco it can bo kept under
perfect control. The engine is a six to
seven horsepower air cooled one and
a flno machine
I use it to run a fodder-shredder
corn-flheller feed-grinder fannlng-mlll
and circular saw. I am thinking of
buying a small threshing machine to
pull with It. As to how much the
traction will pull I cannot say. I am
a farmer and stock raiser and bealAea
i
Hue engine belt Is connected to a
horizontal shaft which in turn is con-
nected to a perpendicular one. A belt
leading from the perpendicular shaft
whirls the saw which can be raised
or lowered to satisfy the requirements
of height. As shown In the illustra-
tion the saw can be made to cut very
close to the ground which Is a dis- I
tlnct advantage. I
plates more than keeping soul and
lody together this farm has been
ruined. It will amount to nothing
until It has the effect of right treats
ment and rather expensive treatment
for a series of years. And many an-
other Illinois farm has been practical-
ly ruined in the same time though
perhaps not many by the so-called
farming of one person.
The owner can never "build up"
such land. The utmost he can do is
to live. He has not even a dollar per
acre to Invest in Improvement. Money
for such wise Investment must come
from outside the farm.
It takes a little longer to ruin the
richer land of central Illinois but It
can be done Just as certainly as Is
shown by the 30 years of continuous
corn growing on one of the university
plots at Urbana.
Now every intelligent fanner Is be-
ginning to see that without some
proper care and repair his soil will
not maintain itself forever any more
than would his buildings.
Nothing more significant to Ameri-
can agriculture has ever been uttered
than the two sides of the same prop-
osition persistently taught by Dr.
Cyril G. Hopkins the University of
Illinois soil expert as follows:
"To permanently maintain profit-
able systems of agriculture Is our
most Important material problem not
only In Illinois but In the United
States.
"If we shnll succeed In Illinois in
discovering and adopting into general
agricultural practice systems of farm-
ing that will restore our soils to their
virgin fertility and permanently main-
tain a high productive capacity for
these Illinois lands. It will be the flr&t
time for this to bo accomplished any-
where In the world over such an
area."
This 1b getting down to bedrock in
agriculture. Tho most far-sighted and
unselfish farmers are just beginning
to comprehend the literal meaning of
these facts and the advisability of ant-
ing upon them before It is too late.

The Fight Against Tuberculosis.
Interest In the anti-tuberculosis cam-
paign now being waged throughout the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that In the year 1900 163 new anti-tuberculosis
associations were formed
133 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit-
als were established and 91 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. Com-
pared with previous years this is the
best record thus far made in the fight
against consumption in this country.
During the year 1909 43 moro asso-
ciations for the prevention of. tubercu-
losis were formed than during the pre-
vious 12 months and 62 more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January 1 1910 there were in the Uni-
ted States 394 anti-tuberculosis associ-
ations 386 hospitals and tuberculosis
sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis
dispensaries.

do it but I'll promise not to call her
'punkln-face' any more anyhow."

Iron.
Pure Iron Is only a laboratory prepa-
ration. Cast iron the most generally
useful variety contains about five per
cent of impurities and the curious
thing is that it owes its special value
to the presence of these. Pure iron
can be shaved with a pocket knife;
Impure iron can be made almost as
bard as steel.

CLEAR-HEADED
Head Bookkeeper Must be Reliable.
The chief bookkeeper in a barge busi-
ness house in one of our great West-
ern cities speaks of the harm coffee
did for him:
"My wife and I drank our first cup
ot Postum a little over two years ago
nnd wo have used It ever since to tho
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It
happened In this way:
"About three and a half years ago
I had an attack of pneumonia which
left a memento in the shape of dyspep-
sia or rather to speak more corroctly
neuralgia o". tho stomach. My 'cup ot
cheer' had always been coffeo or tea
but I became convinced after a time
thnt they aggravated my stomach trou-
ble. I happened to mention tho mat-
ter to my grocer one day and ho sug-
gested that I give Postum a trial.
"Next day it came but tho cook made
tho mistake of not boiling it sufficient-
ly and we did not like it much. This
wob however soon remedied and now
we like it so much that wo will never
change back. Postum being a tood
boverago instead of a drug has been
tho means of curing my stomach trou-
ble I verily believe for I am a well
nan today and have used no other
remedy.
"My work as chief bookkeeper in our
Co.'s branch house hero is of a very
confining nature. During my coffee-
drinking days I was subjoct to norv-
ouBness and 'tho blues' in addition to
my sick Bpella. These havo loft me
tdnce I began uolng Postum and I can
conscientiously recommend it to those
whose work confines them to lens;
hours of Bcvero mental exertion."
