A BAND for the hair every hour
of the twenty-four is the latest
fad to which milady is devoting
herself heart and mind. Appar¬
ently we have just discovered the
lieatness and beauty of bands for the
hair, which should have been brought
home to our Intelligence long ago.
For wear In the daytime, the plain
band, of black velvet or other ribbon,
harmonizes with hair of every color,
and lends a sparkle to gray hair which
Is particularly beautiful. Manufactur¬
ers are making bands of many varie¬
ties to harmonize with most of the
shades of hair, of which there are In¬
numerable gradations. These bands
are for daytime wear, all about two
and a half inches wide. They are fin¬
ished with a flat bow and fasten with
hooks and eyes.
For evening, wide lustrous ribbon,
tulle net and spangled fabrics are
used. The rosette Is fastened just
above the tip of the ear. Velvet rib¬
bons In vivid shades of green—in
coral and edkise, as well as black, are
used with ornaments of rhinestone.
Even at night, wide soft ribbons are
i worn when the hair is put in rollers
I or on pins, to conceal them and render
1 the head sightly. The back hair, braid¬
ed in two loose braids, is tied at the
end with a yard length of wide, soft
ribbon. The braids are brought about
the head with one length of the rib¬
bon. The other ribbon is tied in a
small bow a little to one side of the
center of the brow. The band in the
DECORATIONS FOR BRASS BED
Id** That Makes for Comfort and
Adds to Appearance of
Room.
Erass beds look charming and at-
tractive and often brighten an other-
wise dark bedroom, but many people
complain that they are far colder
than an ordinary wooden bed that
has a high head and footboard to pro-
tect them from drafts. To overcome
this objection a clever woman de-
j vised a scheme which not only cor-
rected this defect, but also added a
decorative note to the room.
The hangings and window seat were
made of gray chintz, having garlands
of pink roses scattered over the eur
face. She bought more of this mate
rial and made covers that slipped
easily over the brass rods at the
head and foot of the bed. These were
finished at the bottom with dainty
frills of the material. A frill was also
fastened around the mattress, which
ehowed beneath the bedspread
The covers were found not only to
add much to the physical comfort,
hut were also useful In protectlfrg the
brass from the usual dents and
scratches that are apt to come with
tbe daily wear and tear of a much
used room.
They were made to be removed
easily If required for special occa-
lions.

hair, finished with bow or rosette, is
universally becoming. From babyhood
to old age the ribbon in the hair is a
feminine privilege of which we should
make the most. It is not a matter of
fashion, but a permanent Institution.
The adjustment, the width of ribbons
and styles in the bands may vary, but
(he band, like the hair, is always cor¬
rect. It is a finish to the coiffure, use¬
ful and beautiful.

GOOD FEATURE IN LINGERIE
New Undergarments That Can Be
Laundered Quickly and Easily
Anywhere.
When you see some of the soft,
clingy and entirely adorable crepe Un¬
gerie which is shown in the French
shops now you will simply throw dis-
cretion to the winds, take out the bill
you were fondly cherishing for some-
thing or other and have the temptress
—who in this case Is the little sales-
lady with the queer accent—wrap up
your pet piece. Then you’ll hurry home
to “try it on,” revel in the possession
of It and linger over the luxury of its
dainty laces and fascinating ribbon
bows
And really you won't be so indis-
creet after all, especially if you are
a girl without the privilege of a home,
because the crepe lingerie doesn’t re-
quire a laundress to be made fresh
and clean. Usually it is combined with
real torchon or Irish crochet, both of
which can be pulled Into shape with¬
out the aid of an iron.
Many a girl wh® travels has found it
Impossible to gratify her longing for
dainty underwear because of the un
certainties of laundering. After hav-
in & returned a few times torn and
spoiled, she lias settled down to plain
garments devoid of any of the irresis¬
tible little feminine touches. For her
the silk crepe idea will be a positive
joy, for she can retire to her hotel
bathroom and, with the assistance of
a cake of good, pure soap, may restore
her lingerie to its pristine glory and
loveliness.
The new garments, come In every
weight from the heaviest silk crepe to
the flimsiest crepe de chine, built into
nightgowns, chemise, corset covers,
combinations and petticoats. They are
shown in white and colors and many
are elaborately embroidered in self¬
tone silk.
Another Idea for the traveler or the
girl away from home Is the Italian silk
undergarment. It is most familiar as
an undervest, but so popular and prac¬
tical has It proven that it has been ex¬
tended to cover the entire lingerie
wardrobe.—Washington Star.
How to Choose a Teapot.
The real secret in choosing a tea
pot, be It made of silver, crown derby
or even the humble but useful brown
“mug,” is this Never buy a teapot
with the root of the spout low down
in the body of the pot. Let the spout
be set high in the body, then you can
fill the pot well up, without tho tea
dribbling over, as It never fails to do
when having a lowbuilt spout close
to the teapot's foundation. Far too
many fancy articles are made and sold
more fit to stand among chimney
piece ornaments than to brew and
pour that welcome beverage which
cheers, but does not inebriate,

MEET THE SPINNERS
Government Agents Pay Visit to
Cotton Factories.
Confer With Manufacturers in New
New England States and New York
Regarding Cotton Situation—
One Expert Gives Details.
Dr. S. A. Knapp, special agent of the
Farmers’ Co-Operative Demonstration
work, recently asked Messrs. G. H.
Alford and J. W. Willis of Mississippi
and Messrs. B. L. Moss and E. Gentry
of Alabama and Georgia to visit the
cotton manufacturing districts of the
New England states and New York
and confer with the spinners with
reference to the cotton situation. The
spinners of New England had request¬
ed Secretary Wilson to send some of
the best-posted men In his department
to meet them and go over the situa¬
tion.
The men selected by the United
States department of agriculture have
just returned from a ten days’ trip to
Boston, Lowell, Manchester, New Bed¬
ford, Willlmantic and New York city.
In discussing the trip to the reporter,
Mr. G. H. Alford said:
“We conferred fully with Dr. Knapp
in Washington before visiting the
spinners. The spinners met us in Bos¬
ton and we discussed the growing,
handling and manufacturing of cotton.
The production of long and short sta¬
ple cotton in the boll weevil territory
was discussed at length. The price of
cotton for the next five or ten years
was the subject of much comment.
“The spinners complained of the
mixing of different grades and lengths
of staple in the same bale. The bales
of cotton shipped from the south and
other countries were shown to us and
we were urged to use our Influence to
get the southern cotton farmers and
ginners to wrap the bales of cotton
better. The waste on account of the
failure to properly wrap our cotton
was shown to be enormous.

mercerized cloth (Imitation silk), and
other fine goods requiring the use of
long staple cotton, were much con¬
cerned over the decrease in the pro¬
duction of long staple cotton, especial¬
ly In the Missessippi delta. The grow¬
ing of long staple cotton In the Mis¬
sissippi delta and other parts of the
south received considerable attention.
“To give you some idea of the lar¬
gest mill visited, which is located in
Manchester, N. H., I will say that the
number of acres of floor space in the
buildings is 137; the number of em¬
ployees, 18,000, and the number of
miles of cloth manufactured every day
is 486.
“Numbers of the New England mills
are now making mercerized cloth
(imitation silk) out of cotton The
long staple cotton grown in the delta
Is considered the best by the manu-
f$turers for the making of thread,
lace, mercerized cloth and other very
fine goods.
“After visiting the mills and con-
ferring with the heads of the differ-
ent departments, we met the executive
board of the New England Spinners'
association in New York city. Every
phase of cotton growing and manu¬
facturing was touched on at this meet-
Ing.
“A report of the trip was made to
Dr. Knapp and the information ob¬
tained will no doubt be given to the
500 men employed by him in the south
and used to great advantage.”
TICK eradication in south
Injurious Little Insect Costing Farmers
of Southern States $100,000,000
Every Year.
G. H. Alford, special agent of the
Farmers’ Co-operative Demonstration
Work, has received the following let¬
ter from Dr. J. A. Klernan, inspector
in charge of tick eradication in the
south:
Every valiant, noble, earnest and en¬
ergetic farmer of the south has as
great an opportunity to prove his loy¬
alty to his fellow-men in this "piping
time of peace” as if called to arms in
defense of his country.
You know the great burden the
south has carried ever since the cattle
quarantine line has been established.
Think of it. Mr. Farmer, Mr. Banker
and Mr. Merchant.
The cattle tick is costing thirteen of
the southern states $100,000,000 every
year. It would be a matter of pity and
cause of great complaint If this con¬
dition could not be relieved. It is a
matter of embarrassment that, know¬
ing It is possible and has been done in
130,000 square miles of territory,
we neglect to take advantage of the
practical methods to end the drain
speedily.
Many methods of eradicating ticks
have been found practical but the dip¬
ping of cattle In a vat containing ar¬
senical solution makes certain that
every part of the animal Is thoroughly
saturated and every tick receives a
poisonous dose which quickly kills it.
While the solution is poisonous to
the tick It Is harmless to the cattle if
used as directed, in fact it also kills
lice, improves the hairy coat and im¬
parts a general thrifty condition.
Will you join the army of farm up-
lifters; profit makers and home Im¬
provers? We confidently believe every
owner of cattle in your county will
start dipping not later than March
1st and keep it up every two weeks un¬
til every tick is gone. Then release
from quarantine which means at the
very least $5.00 per head increase in
their value. Then in place of a local
market for cattle the markets of the
world will be open to them.
The boll weevil will compel you to
take up live stock raising. Secretary
of Agriculture Hon. James Wilson,
said: “About the biggest need of the
south, in my opinion, is to get rid of
the cattle tick so that there will bo
nothing in the way of stock raising.”
Mulberries for Fence Posts.
Some farmery have planted Rus¬
sian mulberry seedlings thinking to
have them grow up into fence post
timber. While, perhaps, the wood is
well suited to this purpose, the grow¬
ing of trees of a suitable size has not
proved a success. They have too
much of a bushy habit of growth and
often winterkill at the tips, which still
further favors the growth of branches.
Grain for Pure Bred Colts.
Feeding grains to pure bred colts
and calves when running with their
dams at pasture will bring greater
returns per bushel than when fed
at any °Uier time during the ani¬
mal’s existence.
Mistake of Overworking.
A farmer makes a great mistake in
a business way, when he works so
hard physically that he incapacitates
himself for mental work, because the
mental work, the plaus, the reasons,
must come first.
