Furs in Millinery
URS In millinery have never been
so well received, as during the
present winter. It seems that
the vogue for gold and silver
F
laces and nets, and their Introduction
with cloth of gold and silver into
gowns, has made fur tho best of all
nuisliing touches and milliners have
used this beautiful combination In
many rich and becoming hats.
All furs have been used, but skunk,
marten and fox are great favorites
for trimming. They are used in bands
and borders rather than In entire hats,
The Bhorts furs like sealskin, beaver,
ermine and broadtail, make up entire
hats, and mink is a favorite used In
either way.
One of the handsomest hats is a
sealskin over a small bell-shaped
foundation. Its only trimming is a
prim little cravat bow and ends of
ermine poised at the front. A hat of
gold satin in the French sailor shape
is trimmed into two rows of gold lace
—the “tarnished brass” color describ
ing the color accurately. The lace
wm edged with narrow border of sa
ble and a paradise feather like the sa
ble fur in color, but shaping to gold,
furnished the trimming.
Black velvet shape trimmed with the
heavy laces in white are handsome
with skunk borders or bands. Soft
caps of gold net lined with silk to
match are finished with a broad band
of marten about the face. Fancy os
COAT OF REVERSIBLE CLOTH
Thick woolly cloth, gray on the out
side and plaid on the inside, is used
here. The large collar is of plaid, with
a smaller one in satin outside: the
cuffs are also composed of the two.
Thre buttons, with corresponding
loops, form fastening below the col
lar.
Hat of felt, trimmed with silk, cut in
trlch or paradise feathers make the
best trimming for these caps of vel
vet, with pointed crowns, and brims
of cloth-of-gold, are finished with a
band of marten and loops of the gold
lace that is fulled about the face. Most
of these combinations are equally
good with silver lace and with it a
greater variety in color of velvet may
be used.
These rich hats, are particularly
good from one standpoint. They may
be worn with almost any gown or cos
tume. Although the initial expense of
a good fur hat Is considerable the fur
lasts for many seasons, in fact almost
indefinitely and may be used again
and again.
In millinery many cheap furs are
used that are about as effective as
more costly oneß, but have not the
same durability. They are called by
the names of sealskins which they are
made to imitate, and answer the pur
pose for one or two seasons, very well.
Marten and skunk are very desirable
and fox also will stand the sort of
wear it gets in millinery very well.
Just now there is a fad for hat muff
and neckpiece made of velvet or satin
and bordered with fur. The pieces
match, and many an old set of furs
is being cut up—the good parts pieced
into bands and used to decorate such
sets. Sometimes a bag is included in
the pretty outfit. Altogether the re
sult is very pleasing.

MAKEUP OF THE COIFFURE
Original Effects Sought After by the
Smartest Women Who Set the
Fashions of Paris.
This year there is little absolute
novelty in the matter of hair ar
rangement to chronicle, yet the
changes, though subtle, are none the
less potent—a frequent experience as
Is demonstrated when one puts on
an old hat, carefully cherished, even
when no distinct change in fashion
has taken place.
The most important aspect of the
coiffure nowadays is the silhouette it
produces, a fact in union with the
whole spirit of dress. And this is
the first point to be carefully no
ticed and attained. A low, full out
line is the one most generally sought
after, and attained quite easily by the
aid of many clever frames and ad
justments provided. A decidedly
Eastern effect is one of the most no
ticeable features in the new dress
ings which should not be overlooked
by the woman who would be in tho
van of fashion. In the evening this
has its opportunity, and Paris al
ready speaks authoritatively of “Le
Grand Mogul.”
Then in the arrangement of the
long hair a decided vogue may be
prophesied for wide, soft plaits and
twists, frequently made of well-waved
hair, which breaks the formality and
throws other lines Into those em
ployed by the treatment of plaiting
or twisting. A chic arrangement
takes the form virtually of a chig
non—for want of a better word—
covered with a very wide, soft plu«t
of waved hair, the effect being of
broken lines intertwined, which give
different shades and pretty lights,
while it is not till close examination
that the plait Itself Is distinguished.

THE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE
Most elderly people are more or
less troubled with a chronic, per
sistent constipation, due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise. They ex
perience difficulty in digesting even
light food, with a consequent belching
of stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating, headache and a feeling of lassi
tude and general discomfort
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives of every kind, rec
ommending a mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Is the
perfect laxative, easy in action, cer
tain in effect and, withal, pleasant to
the taste. It possesses tonic proper
ties that strengthen the stomach, liver
and bowels and Is a remedy that has
been for years the great standby in
thousands of families, and should be
in every family medicine chest. It is
equally as valuable for children as for
older people.
Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin in 60c and SI.OO
bottles. If you have never tried It
send your name and address to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Mon
ticello, 111., and he will be very glad to
send a sample bottle for trial.
Felt He Had Known the Worst.
Pat O'Shaunessy had been told by
the doctor that he could live but a
few hours, and his wife and assem
bled relatives and rrlends asked him
whether there was one last wish he
would like to have gratified? "There
is,” said Pat, "I’d like to hear the vil
lage band play once again." Accord
ingly the village band gathered. When
at last it had played, "Say Au Kevoir
But Not Good-by," and had taken Its
own departure, Mrs. O’Shaunessy,
kneeling at her husband's bedside,
asked: "Can ye die alsy now, Pat."
"Yis,” replied Pat. "I can die alsy
now. Hell has nothing worse than
that."
PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA
“A few days after birth we noticed
an inflamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and Bcalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment.
“Not until I commenced using Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and I had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. I don’t believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
“Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until I would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves.and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa., Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free
on application to “Cuticura,” Dept.

Uncle Sam’s Representative.
Senator John Sharp Williams tells
of a negro lad in a southern town who
was not the least zealous of Uncle
Sara’s servants. One day when the
mail bag from that town was thrown
from the train the pouch was caught
up by this diminutive courier, who
started off, as was his wont, on a brisk
trot to the postoffice.
As he was rounding a corner of the
station he encountered a larger bo.v.
with the result that the little courie*
was upset. When the latter got u>
and readjusted himself he turned upon
the other exclaiming:
"Look heah! Yo’ wants to be keep

The nutritive substances in hay or

flesh forming and fuel or energy pro

amount of these two clasnes of sub
stances is fed the ration is said to
be balanced. If an unbalanced ration

energy producing substances than are
needed and less flesh-forming mate

Buch unwise feeding will not bring as

amount of a balanced ration. Each
class of substances has different of
fices to perform in the body. If

EVERY FARMER
CAN USE PAINT
Adds to Appearanct of Place and
to th« Durability of Any
Kind of Farm
Buildinx.
Any man can do an average job of
painting, and can thereby not only Im
prove the appearance of his place, but
can add greatly to the durability of
the buildings.
The average farmer, If there is such
& thing, seems to think that paint Is
used solely for ornament, and he is of
all men most keenly practical, he
eschews what he regards as an un
profitable luxury. It is, perhaps, the
rule rather than the exception In some
sections to see houses and agricul
tural Implements sadly In need of re
paint.
Of course paint does Improve the
appearance of property, but It is far
more useful as a protector rather than
an ornament. The expenditure of a
small amount of money and time in
painting a valuable piece of farm ma
chinery or a building will add great
ly to the length of its life. Another

useful object accomplished by painting
Is the Improved sanitary conditions of
buildings and outhouses. The cost of
such work Is small, the necessary
equipment not expensive, and with
proper care will last a long time.
In order to supply information which
will enable the farmer to purchase the
paint economically and apply It in
telligently and to the best advantage.
Secretary Wilson caused experts In the
bureau of chemistry to Investigate
the subject and prepare Farmers Bulle
tin No. 474 calling attention to the
economic importance of painting farm
buildings and equipment and giving de
tails as to the cost, purchase, and care
of brushes, cost of the ingredients
needed, how to mix and apply them.
Paint conveys to the casual reader
the Idea of a mixture of pigment with
linseed oil, but the general conception
of the word includes both whitewash
and calcimine, but not varnish, and
Protein is the substance which
builds up the body. The muscles, ten
dons, ligaments, connective tissues,
skin, hair, hoofs, part of the bone, and
in fact every part of the body but fat
arc made up of protein, together with
mineral matter and water.
The next Important class of sub
stances Is the carbohydrates, which
contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen,
but no nitrogen, sulphurs, or phos
phorus; they include starch, sugars,
etc. These are used for practically
the same purpose for which coal or
wood is used in the steam engine,
namely, to furnish energy and heat.
The third important constituent of
hay is its oils. Small quantities of
oil are present in all kinds of hay.
These oils serve the same purpose as
the carbohydrates. A pound of these,
however, will furnish two and one
fourth times as much energy or heat
as the same quantity of carbohydrates.
It can readily be seen, when the chem
ical analysis of hay is considered, why
the price of the different grades or
kinds of hay should depend, first,
upon the amount of digestible nutri
ents contained, and, second, upon the
purpose for which the hay Is fed. If
the concentrated feed—l. e., the grain
in the ration —lacks protein, then the
hay that is high In this substance Is
more valuable than one which con
tains little but carbohydrates, and vice
versa. There is quite a range In the
amount of the different classes of
nutrients in the various kinds of hay.
On an average, in 100 pounds of al
falfa hay the digestible protein
amounts to 10.58 pounds; in cowpea
hay, 10.79 pounds; In alsike clover
hay, 8.15 pounds; In red clover hay,
7.38 pounds; in redtop hay, 4.80
pounds; and In timothy hay, 2.89
pounds.
In 100 pounds of redtop hay the
digestible carbohydrates amount to 47
pounds; In timothy hay, 43.72 pounds;
In alsike clover hay, 41.76 pounds;
in alfalfa hay, 37.33 pounds; in cow
pea hay, 38.40 pounds; in red clover
hay, 36.15 pounds.
When fed for protein, timothy hay
ranks last, but when fed for carbo
hydrates It standH next to redtop,
which h’eads the list. If the total
nutrients are considered there are a
number of different kinds of hay which
are equal. If not superior, to timothy
hay for feeding purposes.
the bulletin gives several very valu
able recipes for making both of those
excellent coatings for both out and in
side of buildings.
The secretary in addition to urg
ing the proper use of paints for both
useful and ornamental purposes, for he
does not think anything too good or
attractive for the farm homes, em
phasized several precautions: “Do not
use any paint containing compounds
of lead about stables or outbuildings
where the fumes from decaying or
ganic matter occur, since these gases
are likely to darken the lead paints.
Do not use with lead compounds any
pigment which may liberate com
pounds of sulphur. For example, ultra
marine blue which contains sulphur In
a form in which It may be set free
is a beautiful blue and may be used
with zinc white, but should not be
used with white lead or any other lead
pigments. Prussian blue, on the con
trary, does not contain sulphur and
may be used with lead pigments.
"Remember that turpentine and
benzine are very inflammable and es
pecial precautions should be taken not
to bring paint containing these sub
stances near any light or open fire.
“Many pigments are poisonous, and
the workman should be particularly
careful to remove all paint stains from
the skin, and not under any circum
stances allow any of It to get Into his
mouth. A man should not eat in the
same clothes Id which he has been
painting, and before eating should not
only change his clothes but wash all
paint stains from his skin. It is not
advisable to use turpentine or benzine
In removing paint stains from the
hands, but by oiling thoroughly with
linseed oil, or, in fact, with any fatty
oil, and then thoroughly washing with
soap, the paint may be removed, pro
vided it has not been allowed to dry
too thoroughly on the hands."
Good Liberal Education.
One of the best investments that
any farmer can make, with a view to
helping his boys and girls In the fu
ture, is In giving those boyß and girls
a good liberal education, that will
enable them to compete with others
and hold their own in the future. One
thousand dollars and a good educa
tion equip a young man much better
for his struggles In life than will two
thousand dollars and no education.

Lord Guilford tells a story of a
young lady's resources at a bazaar.
Business was In full swing when a
young man strolled around the vari

chasing anything. As he passed a
large, beautifully decorated stall the
young lady seller detained him.
“Won’t you buy a cigarette holder,
sir?" she asked. "No, thank you, 1
don’t smoke,” was the curt reply. “Or
a pen writer worked with my own
hands?” “I don’t write.” "Then do
have this nice box of chocolates.” "I
don’t eat sweets." The young lady's
patience was exhausted. "Sir,” she
said grimly, "will you buy this box
of soap?"
The young man paid up.

a certain Samaritan, journeyed that
way, was touched with compassion.
"Madam,” quoth he, “your ha—

claimed and gave him a look which
froze him on the spot.
