A BEAUTY HINT
(New Orleans States.)
An authority gives the following ad
vice to girls who would choose to be
beautiful:
“For giving the face a good color,
get one pot of roupe and one rabbit
foot. Bury them two miles from home
and walk out and back once a day to
see if they are still there.
Whole volumes could not have sail
more.
These days women and girls are too
prone to droop languidly about their
boudoirs afraid of fresh air and sun
shine, sleeping too much, eating too
little, and exercising not at all.
The idea conveyed in the above par
agraph is to get in the open and walx
two miles out and two miles back ev
ery day in order to derive the benefit
of the exercise.
In cities especially women, and men,
too, for that matter, do not get half
enough exercise. Nobody walks enough
except bill collectors and postmen. If
*
awonian wants to go two blocks, as a
rule she’ll take a street car or, if she
has one, a motor car.
Lord knows what they’d do for exer
cise If It wasn’t for the tango. That’s
as near as most of them ever come -o
exercising. But that is done in -i
crowded ball room or dance hall when
it should be done out in the open.
The average girl’s idea of violent ex
ercise these days consists in sitting in
a hammock, munching bonbons, and
reading Bobby Chambers latest kiss
novel. Os course the perusal of any
one of Bobby's late books is pretty
violent exercise (for the heart) but it
doesn't help the arms and muscle and
lungs any. It really leaves one all out
of breath, especiall yif one be a rom
antic, dreamy maid.
Other girls go to the seaside and re
fuse men until they are all out of
breath and call it exercise. But that
is also bad for the heart. It doesn’t
help the muscles any.
The modern girl might get out the
broom once in a while and sweep the
porch off for mother, but she neve. -
does. If mother so far forgets herself
as to even hint at such a thing daugh
ter sweeps the porch with an angry
glance. ' " ’• *
You don’t see many women riding
horseback any more like they used ’ >
do. That was good, healthful exercise,
but the custom seems to have become
obselete, or at least obsolescent.
Nothing was finer in the old days
than to see a young woman mounted
on a good horse dashing away in the
early morning through fragrant coun
try lanes, while the dew sparkled like
diamonds upon the grass and trees and
the birds sang liquid melodies and th“ (
brook laughed while the wind blew the;
rcses into her cheeks. Take more ex-‘
ercise, girls, even if you have to bury
a rabbit foot two miles away.
!♦ WHEN A WOMAN SHOPS ♦
A lady ambles to a store
To buy a spool of thread,
At first she looks at hats galore
Then carving knives and bread.
From there she travels to the aisle
Where davenports are kept,
And then she lingers for.a while
Around the ribbon kept.
She looks at frying pans and lace,
Inspects the latest books,
She prices lotions for the face
And linen goods and hooks.
And when she’s canvassed all the
joints
And clerks are nearly dead.
She brings the matter to a point
And buys a spool of thread.

I know that deep within your heart of
hearts,
You hold me shrined apart from
common things,
And that my step, my voice, can bring
to you
A gladness that no other presence
brings.
And yet, dear love, through all the
weary day,
You never speak one word of tender
ness,
Nor stroke my hair, nor softly clasp
my hand
Within your own, in loving - mute
caress.
You think, perhaps, I should be all
content
To know so well the loving place l
hold
Within your life, and so you do not
dream
How much I long to hear the story
told.
You cannot know when we two sit
alone,
And tranquil thoughts within your
mind are stirred,
My heart is crying like a tired child
For one fond look, one gentle, lov
ing word.
It may be when your eyes look into
mine,
You often think, “How dear she is
to me;” /
Oh, could I read it in your softened
glance,
How radiant this plain old world
would be!

Earning a Living on a Single
Acre
In the current issue of Farm anl
Fireside Charles A Byers writes an in
teresting article in which he shows
how certain farmers in California are
making a comfortable living from an
acre. Following is an extract from the
article:
“Sometimes a lot will be planted ex
clusively to some one vegetable or to
marketable flowers, but in most cases
a variety of garden truck is grown. As
an illustration, the tiller of a half
acre lot at Monte Vista during the
past season telle me that he planted
potatoes, sweet corn, peas, thre'e kinds
of beans, cucmbers, melons, sqashu
(several varieties), tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, let
! tuce, and kale. Rotation of crops is
! carefully planned, and in this way the
productiveness of the soil is utilized
to the greatest degree.
‘ Many of the farmers devote consid
erable attention to raising chickens
a d eggs for the market ,and the milk,
c-eam, and butter produced by the
r olonies are supplied by the Toggen
b.'.rg or Nubian goats.” 4
The Value of Our Agriculture
Department at Washington
In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears the following para
graph which demonstrates the value ct
the agricultural department at Wash
ington:
"The Department of Agriculture docs
some of its best work in protecting us
against pests. Many of them, like the
gipsy moth, the chestnut blight, the
scale insects, the boll weevil, the al
falfa weevil, and others, have slipped
in in spite of vigilance, and. like the
English sparrow, have found in a
new field freedom from their old en-
Vemies and an opportunity of doing In
some cases tenfold the damage of
which they were capable in their na
tive lands. Recently some Arizona
cotton growers imported cotton seed
from Egypt which was found infested
With the pink boll worm, the greatest
pest in the Egyptian fields. The seed
was confiscated as it should have
been. To have introduced the pink
boll worm might have ruined the cot
ton industry of America. 18 is quite
possible that in this one act the De
partment did more for the financial
benefit of the country than its activi
ties have cost us la all the history of
the country.”
FIVE MINUTES WITH
THE FUNNY FELLOWS
HI ■ I
Among Friends
He apaprently had been visiting and
was going to the terminal station on
the way home, says the Philadelphia
Record. He had conversed freely witn
all the strangers in tongue-shot of
him-self on the Broad Ripple car,
making himself confidently at home.
Umbrella in one hand and bag in the
other, even as the burlesquers who get
money for portraying him as he usual
ly isn't, he warily dismounted from the
car at Washington and Illinois streets,
being the first off. He looked about
him cautiously.
The corner cop waved in that easy,
friendly manner common to corner
cops.
And then other passengers, dis
counting behind the man from the
country, passengers who had enjoyed
his monologue for half an hour, were
convulsed at his last words:
“By guh, I didn’t suppose I’d see
anybody that’l know me up here. Who
is that feller out there wavin’ at me ’’
And he waved hack at the cop.
I’air Warning.
Some time ago a woman cast covet
ous eyes on a fur coat and other togs
to match. That evening when her hus
band came home from his daily toil he
was met with a request to make a
large hole in his bank account. His
face took on a shocked expression that
looked like consternation, and then he
said that he simply couldn’t do it.
“Why can't you do it?” came the
time-honored logimal response of
wifey. “Don’t you suppose that 1
have got to have things to wear?”
“Yes, dear,” meekly returned the
old man, “but I have a note for S2OO
that must be met immediately.”
“All right, Mr. Smith,” ansuvered
wifey, with a significant glance. “Ifj
you think the man who holds your notaj
jean make things any hotter for you
than I can, go ahead and pay him.”

Just as a Lady Would.
Gladys’ mother was entertaining
visitors, when suddenly the aoori was
flung open and in burst Gladys like
the proverbial whirlwind, relates the
Ladies’ Home Journal.
“My dear child,” said the mother,
rebukingly, “I never heard such a
noise as you made coining downstairs.
Now go right back and come down
stairs properly.’’
Gladys retired, and in a few mo
ments later re-entered the room.
“Did you hear me come down that
time, mamma?’’ she asked.
"No,” replied the mother. “Now,
why can't you always behave like
that? You came downstairs like a
lady then."
“A'es, mamma,” said Gladys duti
fully, “I slid down the banisters.”

“I can’t understand how it is,” said
the natty lieutenant, “that you are
able to be so calm.”
“Why shouldn’t I be calm?” replied
the beautiful girl who had found a
temporary refuge upon the mighty
warships, relates the Chicago Record-
Herald.
“I should think the firing of our
guns would frighten you. Even men
who are not used to them generally
exhibit signs of terror, or, at least, of

t one morning, relates Everybody s
Magazine.
, “I understand,” she said, “that for
• $5 I can insure my house for $1,00) in
your company.”
“Yes,” replied the agent, “tha'; ir

1 pay you $1,000.”
“And,” continued the woman an<i
ously, “do you make any inquirie; as
> to the origin of the fire?”
, “Certainly,” was the prompt repiy,
’ “w r e make the most careful inquiries,
madam.”
“Oh!”—and she turned to leave tha
office—“l thought there was a catch
in it somewhere.”
Very Obliging.
‘ The old man who acts as postmas

i keeps a general merchandise shop. He
is often accused of reading the post 1
cards that pass through his hands, but
this he strongly denies. A lady called
, at the shop and ordered, among other
things, a ham and a cheese.
Two days later the lady called agai.l
and asked why these two articles had
not been sent with the other goods.
“Oh!” replied the merchant, calmly,!
“I saw by the post card yo’ got yistidy J
that yo’ friend wasn't cornin’, so I
nachelly thought yo’ wouldn’t need
them things.”

sheller, grinder, etc., in fact, use the engine for a large
variety of purposes.
The Sterling thresher is so practical and easy to handle
that a boy can attend to all duties connected with the thresh
ing operation.
