The patterns at these meetings are measured and fitted to the measure ments of their owners, then the dresses are cut and made by the corrected pattern without fitting. Class mornings are usually given over to discussing materials and patterns which are to be worked on that day. The cutting and sewing of the garments Is done in the afternoon. Attention is also given at these meetings to renovating and remodeling. The array of good-looking gowns on exhibit after one or two dress-making lessons of this kind is surprising.

Proposed Law Provides for $5,COO.OOO for Care of Drug Habit Patients Measures to combat the Increr.slrs number of druc addicts following up national prohibition have been Intro duced In the senate by Senator France ' Maryland, chairman of the senate committee on public health, at the re- quest of the federal public health nervlce. He saya the United States leads In rer capita use of opium. The bill would provide $.".000,000 for the care of the drug-habit patients. Senator Frnnce declared there are about .VKl.OOO drug addicts in the l'nited States. 50.000 of them in New York, and about 12.000 in Chicago. The drug habit Is more prevalent where prohibition has? been In effect loncut, Kansas holding the record for the largrst number of addicts accord lr.g to population. Senator France ! clared.

AcrorrVin? to the Constitution, the president has "power, by nnd with the advice nnd consent of the senate, to make treaties, provided two-third- of the senators present concur."

The matter of profit in poultry keeping In a thing which each persnn must solve for him self, so much depends upon the keeper. I'oultry raising is not easy work; it requires lots of time and patience. Where stock is kept and poultry has free range, a hen may be kept for a year on four to six pecks of corn r its equivalent. No one thinking f going into this business can figure on a proilt above ?1 a hen. and that is much too large if the keeper U Inex perienced. If the hens are given warm, clean, dry quarters and a variety of grain green vegetable food of some kind with plenty of ground oyster shells and oace or twice a week a little cround bone and meat meal, they will keep in god thrifty condition. Early hatched pullets will usually commence to lay about the middle of January. One and two-year-old hens will seldom lay when the weather Is very cold. A practical poultry man says : "Cleanliness, a variety of jrrain, regu larity of feeding, pure clean water given twice a day. and a well-litterel shed for exercise, raut be provided. I feed mixed grain, wheat, corn and oats in the morning and evtning; the grain Is sown over the cut Mtraw In the feeding rootn. At noon scalded fine-cut clover hay mixed with whe-it bran and u little oil rnenl Is fed. On this food the hens lay fairly well, even in cold weather. I raise most all of my feed and have an ubiimlance of grass and clover pasture In unitner. and rye and wheat pasture In winter. When snow covers th ground. I feed cabbage leaves, beHs nnd turnips, cut fine nnd mixed with brim. There la not much money In the business if most of the grain has to be bought and hired help employed." Ancient Buttons.

Investigations ore in progress by the United Siutes department of agricul ture, lu co-operation with a number of fctuto experiment stations und Individ ual fariiK'.s, to b arn more about w heat seal, and methods of controlling It. No entirely satisfactory control of this disease has been developed, be cause the scab 'unci develop on so ranuj li:Tere.t kinds of grains and grasses and n cornstalks, stubble, struw and other trash. Two things, however, nro regarded as important. First, the best wheat obtainable should be used for seed, 'i bis should ho thor oughly cleaned und treated by the for maldehyde method recommended for the pre entioii of smut. Second, this whciit r-hou'.d )e sown on thoroughly plowed laud lrnd where the old corn talks, v. licit stuMile and frrass str:tv have been entirely plowed under. This enn be i.M-complihtd !y use of a drag cluiin. All crass and straw should be burned or otherwise removed front hedges, fence rows, fence corner and nearby waste places. These waste places should be either plowed or burned off. Wheat Scab Takes Heavy Toll. Winter whe-it everywhere east of the Great Tlain3 was heavily Infected with scab thLs year. Spring wheat also suf fered greatly nnd many spring wheat fields were left uncut, due chiefly to the ravages of .scab. The states suffer ln the greatest losses of both spring and winter wheat include Missouri. Iowa. South Dakota, Minnesota. Wis consin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virgin ia. West Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tetine-'i-ee. This disease of wheat Is caused by several different funl which attack the crop at various stages of develop ment The seedlings ure blighted, the roots rotted and the plants weakened to such tin et-nt that they nro wlu-ter-killed. The heads nre blighted, the diseased parts die and prevent the for mation of well-filkd kernels. The head blight 1.4 the most evident nnd In nx-tt cases causes the most tlai.iage.

In addition to wheat and corn, the di-vnsp attarks rye, onts. barley and many grasses. The scab fungi also live over winter on th? infected stub ble and decaying straw left on top of the ground, and on Infected grass stems lift around the edges of the IV Id.

On some lands It Is absolutely essential for a good stand. Limo is best applied when the land Is being prepared for wheat. An application rf two tons of fine-ground Une.-toue Is commonly enough, althouch on badly run-down land or on land known to be very sour, three tons per ncre rr.riy be applied with p rollt.

PLANT HARDWOOD TREE SEED Mulch Around Ycung Trees Will Fur nish Ample Protection From Se vere Winter Weather. In raising hardwoods from seeds, species having soft, unprotected soed. such as elms nnd soft maplos. should lie planted as soon as the seeds fall. The hard, nutlilce seeds from such trees a? oaks, hickories, walnuts, but ternuts, should be gathered In the fjIl. buried either In und In ti e cellar or In wr -11-drair.f d sandy soil outside, nnd planted In the sj ring Just ns soon as they are taken out of the s.ir.d. The seeds enn be planted In garden rows, spacing the sc -ds about fix lnr!ies npnrt. or wPh a dibble the nus can be planted In specially prepared spos where the trees are t remain. Fcff, delicate eods. like th elm. how ever, should be planted In tbe garden nn 1 transplanted after they are two years eld.
