The Effective Uee of Cretenne as Window Drapery.
Pretty over-curtains for service at
iMdroou windows are made from cre
tonne lined with cheese cloth In some
too* which appears In the cretenne
pattern. Used over ruffled Swiss or
jnaslln curtains, these give the room
a very dressy appearance. For small
windows, where two sets of curtains
'toould look heavy, curtains made of
dainty sprigged dimity, such as used
ter summer gowns, pnd costing from
to fifteen cents a yard, make 1
Wry desirable sunlight filters, writes
Bessie Blanchard In the Home Maga
jfcte, If a choice delicate pattern <?X
'dtmlty can be securefi, a bed ipread,
with valance and bolster roll, Bhould
he made of the material, and one or
•II leaves of the screen filled with
the same. The very cheap, loosely
woven crash, such as is used for dish
towels, makss very attractive curtains
hud bed spread when set together
with cheap torchon insertion or fag
oted together. If a special color
soheme Is to be carried out, this crash
and insertion combination is very ef
fective, since It can be successfully
dyed by the veriest amateur. White or
ere am-colored bed spreads are gener
ally more satisfactory than colored
ones, especially if there is much col
oring in wall paper and draperies.
Utility boxes are now recognized as
being as necessary as a bureau In the
house. The most expensive are cov
ered with leather and used In hall or
library. The woman who is proficient
In the delightful art of woodcarving
has a chest In her dining room for the
table linen. If she be a .bride, she
will have one In her boudoir that will
be lined with white satin and be
called her “dower box,” holding the
lingerie of her trousseau. In mlladl's
bedroom the box Is covered with cre
tonne matching the other furnishings
and neatly lined with cambric, with a
sachet pad covering the bottom. In
this shirtwaists are kept free from
dust and wrinkles, and If the room Is
large enough there will be a shirt box
to hold the dainty thin gownß that are
apt to look unkempt If kept In a
crowded clothes closet.
If furnUhed with springs In the lid,
IN THE LATEST MODE.
Hat of Cherry Colored Btraw, lined
«lth black taffeta. Wreath of cherriee
and orown of drawn net.
New Waist Line.
Tbe average height for the fashion
able waist line 1b three inches above
the true one. This does not Include
the empire line.
Tendency Toward Fullness.
A great many of the skirta U&t at
drapery, which emphasizes tbe tact
that the tendency is toward mere fall*
a heavy box of good size serves as a
bed when a thin mattress Is placed
over the springs. Such a couch cov
ered with corduroy or velour and sup
plied with a generous number of pret
ty cushions adds considerably to the
furnishing of any room, as well as
supplying a dust-proof closet for sel
dom-worn clothing. Two shirtwaist
boxes with cushions galore form an
attractive cozy corner in a girl’s room,
and if one has a tray fitted In, made
with tiny bamboo rods laced together
with broad ribbons, resting on brass
screw-eyes in eaeft corner, ribboa,
stocks, collars and belts can be kept
■with the waists. A shirtwaist box will
be found Invaluable for keeping the
wash dresses of the small daughter,
and should be mounted on casters so
It can be easily moved for the weekly
sweeping. A large packing box having
the cover hinged for a lid that will
fit closely provides a desirable chest
for winter clothing, if carefully lined
with tar paper throughout. Sacks
made of several thicknesses of news
paper pasted together are moth preef
for clothing, provided the garments
are thoroughly brushed and shaken so
no moth eggs are lodged In them.
These sacks should be pasted togeth
er, not tied.
With the extraordinary cheapness
of material, the lack of a folding
screen in one’s bedroom Is inexcusa
ble, especially if the morning bath
needs to be taken in one’s room.
Where two are occupying the same
room, it insures a degree of privacy,'
and in sickness Is Invaluable for soft
ening the light and shutting off
draughts. If you can not afford to buy
one of three leaves, manufacture onei
yourself. Any one with two-inch ■
strips of soft wood, four hinges, brass- 1
headed tacks, the necessary cloth and
a degree of “gumption” can secure
something serviceable if not beautiful.
But with good common sense, time
and a model to guide, whether In the|
store window or a magazine adver-j
tisement, something artistic as well as
useful can be made at slight expense;,
and the comfort will be so great there'
will speedily be a screen in every bed
room in the house.
MAKES A GOOD COMBINATION.
Street Suit of Ecru Pique with Wool
Is Decidedly Pretty and
Effective.
It is a decided innovation to have
ecru pique combined with wool for
a street suit, but the combination Is
pretty and effective. The pique Is
used for collars, cuffs, a band around
the skirt nnd panels. The one gown
which has been seen so far In this
new fashion belonged to a girl who
gets the latest cry from Paris, and It
Is pretty and effective enough to serve
as a model. It was made In the long
lines as to skirt and coat whioh pre
vailed in the winter and of the Airee
pleco variety. The foundation was of
Henrietta cloth, dull brown, shading
almost into gray. The skirt barely
cleared the ground, and panel wise
down the front, back and sides were
tapering strips of pique, beginning
with a mere inch at the top and widen
ing out until they almost met when
the four pieces reached the hem. The
entire surface of the qlque, which waa
of golden brown, was braided In metal
lic effect, with abundant penwork in
sets edged in gold. The collar and
cuffs on the long coat wore of plqne
and the same panel effect was noted
down the back and on the fronts of
the coats. The waist was of soft silk
with the same pique Insets and a col
lar of gold braid.—New York Presa

AN INTERESTING PAINT TEST
There Is a very simple and Interest
lng chemical test by which to detect
imparity In paint materials. Thou
sands and thousands of people, all over
the country, are making this test. It
is a sure way to safeguard against
the many adulterated white leads
which are on the market Any one
can make the test—all that is needed
Is a simple little Instrument which
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building,
New York, and asking for House
owner’s Painting Outfit No. 49.
The outfit Includes also a set of color
schemes for exterior or Interior paint
ing, or both, if you wish, and a book
of specifications. No houseowner
should make any arrangements for
painting till he gets this outfit.
One can’t expect a satisfactory paint
ing Job without pure white lead. There
is away to make sure you’re getting a
pure white lead—without testing it See
that the keg bears National Lead Com
pany’s famous Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark, which is a positive guarantee of
purity. Your dealer probably has
this white lead. If not let National
Lead Company know.

Itching Torture Was Beyond Words—

—Relieved In 24 Hours and
Cured by Cutlcura In a Month.
“I am seventy-seven years old, and
aome years ago I was taken with ec
zema from head to foot. I waa sick
for six months and what I suffered
tongue could not tell. I could not
sleep day or night because of that
dreadful Itching; when I did sleep it
was from sheer exhaustion. I was
one mass of irritation; it was even in
my scalp. The doctor’s medicine
seemed to make me worse and I was
almost out of my mind. I got a
set of tbe Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and
Resolvent I used them persistently
for twenty-four hours. That night I
slept like an Infant, the first solid
night’s sleep I had had for six months.

Elzena, aged four, reveled in kinder

her young mother the many interest

was that of vaccination, which was
new to the little one. After much ex

was safely passed. A few weeks later

A CURE FOR FITS.
The Treatment Is to Accomplish
What Bcience Has Been Strug

The intense interest that has been mani
fested throughout the country by the won
derful cures that are being accomplished
daily by epilepticide still continues. It is
really surprising the vast number of peo
ple who have already been cured of fits
and nervousness. In order that everybody
may have a chance to test the medicine,
large trial bottles, valuable literature, His

sent by mail absolutely free to all who
write to the Dr. May Laboratory, 648

CHANCE TO TRY
DRY FARMING
ENLARGED HOMESTEAD LAW
WILL ATTRACT MANY NEW
BETTLERB.
POWER FOR PUMPING
PROBLEMB IN CONNECTION WITH
CULTIVATION OF SEMI-ARID
LANDB.
The operation of the Mondell act,
providng homesteads of 320 acres In
the so-called semi-arid sections of
Colorado, will draw thousands of set
tlers to the state, says The Denver
News. The sale of a 10,000-acre tract
I in the vicinity of Denver to Phlladel
! phia capitalists giveß the topic a Tocal
j application, because it means valuable
crops where scant grazing now exißts,
an increased Industrial population,
more trade for the city and a profit
able t r -«c for the interested rail
roads.
There are three subordinate topics
of wide interest in connection with
reclaiming these lands. The first is
the work of the United States Agricul
tural Department, as set forth in the
annual “Year Book,” more especially
in the issue for 1905, in which Elwood
Mead, well known in Colorado, re
views the topic at length. Soil culture
and seeding may well be entrusted to
the Agricultural College at Fort Col
lins, which will soon be well equipped,
in faculty members and appliances,
for a task of this nature. The more
effective and cheaper transmission of
electric power can safely be referred
to the Colorado School of Mines, where
the habit of “doing things” Is chronic.
I It is believed that the power thus gen
erated will eventually be used to
pump water for the Irrigation of thou
sands of acres in eastern Colorado.
Professor Mead estimates the debat
able farm land of America, from Can
ada to the Gulf of Mexico “and be
tween a rainfall of twenty inches year
ly and the Rocky mountains,” at 300,-
000,000 acres. This is today the great
est problem In American agriculture,
and one well worthy of the joint ef
forts of intelligent settlers, the agri
cultural department and Colorado’s
two Institutions in the technical Indus
trial class.
“The area Is great,” says Professor
Mead; "the i|oil is deep and exceed
ingly fertile, and the climate health
ful and agreeable aside from lack of
moisture. Men need It for homes. All
Interests are eager to see these areas
settled, providing the settlers can be
Belf-Bupporting, or to avert this if set
tlement means disaster. From all
classes comes the question: What
methods will make the most of these
lands? How can they be made to sup
port the largest number of people and
give them the greatest measure of hu
man comfort?”
Dry farming dates back to 1883,
when the scene was western Kansas
and western Nebraska. It Invaded
eastern Colorado In 1886. A few wet
years, when the supply of moisture
was exceptional and fine crops were
grown, were followed by years of ex
ceptional drouth, when millions of
acres of promising crops shriveled
and dried up. This was before “dry
farming” was properly understood,
when no special treatment of the soil,
no effort to conserve winter moisture,
and no use of special seeds was In the
farmer’s program. The failure and
hardship of that period need not be re
peated. In the area where the failures
occurred thriving farms, villages and
towns now exist; national banks have
been established, and while 1908, so
far as eastern Colorado is concerned,
was the driest in thirty-three years, ac
cording to the records of the weather
bureau, fine crops of Turkey red
wheat were produced near Denver,
more settlers took up lands than ever
before In one season, and land values
advanced from 100 to 200 per cent.
High Price of Wheat.
We hear a good deal of unnecessary
talk nowadays about the increased
price of bread, but as yet we have seen
nothing of the kind, for the loaf is
Just as big ns it ever was, although
flour Is somewhat higher. It is not
the farmers who have forced the prices
up. Unreasonably high prices of
wheat at this time of year may even
prove disastrous to the growers, be
cause It may drive foreign buyers
away from our markets and cause them
to open trade relations with other
countries, with whom their dealings
may continue in future years. If tnese
high prices had occurred while the
farmers still held their wheat they
might have gotten some benefit from
It, but as usual most of the crop had
passed Into the hands of the middle
men and the gamblers did the rest.—
Field and Farm.
Ever Welcome Flowers.
The petunia is of remarkably easy
culture and makes a brilliant and con
stant show. For beds where a bril
liant color display Is desired, few an
nuals surp&Bs the Shirley poppy. Its
petals have the sheen of silk. Some
flowers are double and some are sin
gle. The colors range from purest
white to scarlet. The nasturtium is
old-fashioned, but it has held favor
against newcomers. It Is one of the
easiest flowere to grow, flourishing in
almost any soil where there Is good
sunlight.
