SWEATER FOR THE SCHOOLGIRL;

good logic. Sweaters are one of those
comforts of life which dare not be
neglected In the planning of the
schoolgirl outfit—and this holds good
from kindergarten to post-graduate
age.
We are accustomed, all of us, to
think of the sweater in terms of knit-
ted styling, but the slip-on in the pic-
ture is unique in that It is made with
needle, net and yam. It requires only
a yard of the net for the foundation
of this little Slip-on as shown, with
two balls of yarn one color and three
of another. It is woffced in an over-
and-over darning stitch, with crocheted
collar, cuffs and hemline.
This model happeps to be done in a

point. The supremacy of superb vel-
vets which are glorifying this season’s
showings, also that of handsomer-
than-ever satins, the favor for gold
and silver embellishment, together
with increasing intricacies of detail,
all conspire to emphasize the luxury
note in autumn’s ensembles.
The preference for black is out-
standing, and again Paris Is exploit-

time costumes.

effects are worked out In rich color-
ings. Some ambitious women are
even making full-length coats for
themselves of yarn and net, weaving
the whole foundation of solid tan or
wine or navy, elaborating the theme
with a gorgeous tapestry patterned
border with collar and cuffs to match.
To return to the subject of sweaters
for children, one of the services which
it Is theirs to perform is to make it
possible for little daughter to wear
her pretty left-over-from-vacation
dresses of gingham and English print
and the like way late Into autumn.
That is just what the little girl in the
picture is doing—‘topping her wash-
with white fur, as shown in the pic-
ture, or else milady will wear a sep-
arate white-fox fur piece for early
fall. The mode is surprisingly par-
tial- toward white fur in Its initial
showings. Which leads to an item of
interest anent the new fashions—the
fact that many of the new Alaskan
and northern seal coats for this win-
ter are taking showy collars and cuffs
of white fur, which makes them won-
derfully attractive and youthful look-
ing.
As to the ensemble costumes of
either satin or velvet, many of them
are classic in their simplicity yet of
compelling appearance, because of the

Very popular, too, are little knitted

The fact that they button up the front
makes them very practical. Being in
solid color, close-knit and lightweight,
they prove most wearable for little
ones who love to romp and play.
Something new in infants’ sweaters
is the metal slide fastener, which in-
sures perfect protection in that the
garment is so securely held in place,
yet easily unfastened at mother’s will.

handsomely styled velvet jackets or

BREED COWS FOR
FALL FRESHENING
Breed the milk cow to freshen in
the fall for she will then produce
more butterfat in a period of 12
months than if bred to freshen In the
spring.
“Cows bred during the latter part
of January or in February will fresh-
en in early fall and will produce more
butterfat during the year than when
the calf is dropped in spring,” says
John A. Arey, dairy extension special-
ist at the North Carolina State Col-
lege. “A cow that freshens in the fall
does not suffer from hot weather and
flies during the period of her heaviest
milk flow as does the cow that fresh-
ens in the spring. The owner is not
rushed with field work in the fall and
has more time in which to look after
his cows during the heavy milk pro-
ducing period.”
Mr. Arey believes that fall freshen-
ing is also desirable because it makes
possible the heaviest fat production
when the butter market is highest.
December butterfat often sells for 12
to 15 cents per pound higher than the
butterfat sold in May and June. This
means bigger profits for the same
labor.
“The majority of our creameries
have a surplus of butter, during the
summer months, and it is necessary
for them to consign some of this sur-
plus to the large central markets at
a sacrifice in price,” says Mr. Arey.
“Therefore, they cannot pay the farm-
er as much for his fat during this sea-
son. During the winter months, how-
ever, most of the creameries run short
of butterfat and cannot produce
enough butter to fill local demands.
“A little more attention to the
breeding period of cows on the part
of their owners would correct this
trouble and make possible a greater
annual income per cow.”
Satisfactory Feed for
Success With the Calf
The heifer calf dropped this coming
fall—the cow of two or three years
hence—should be given a fair start.
Whole milk from its dam for the first
week and from the herd for two or
three weeks longer is almost essential.
But as early as the third week of the
calf’s life it should be offered grain
and fray so that it will not miss the
fat of the milk when changed to skim
milk. The change to skim milk should
be made gradually. If whole milk is
being sold and there is no skim milk
available, powdered buttermilk diluted
with nine parts of water and fed at
the same rate as skim milk is equally
satisfactory. Experimental work has
proven the value of buttermilk for
calf feeding only where there is no
skim milk available as the cost is
greater than of skim milk. Whole
oats, cracked corn and bran make a
good grain for the calf. Coarse alfalfa
hay Is preferable to leafy hay. A
darkened shed will give the calf pro-
tection from flies.
Alternating Pastures Is
Helpful for Production
Dairymen who are located so that
they can alternate their pastures gen-
erally find that the practice is helpful
in securing greater production. Pas-
tures which carried cattle late in the
fall on account of the rains which kept
the grass growing are often late start-
ing the following spring.
Where pastures are divided so that
cows can be alternated back and forth,
this practice allows the grass to get
started. ^Where there is a shortage of
pasture, * it is usually advisable to
plant a crop, such as Sudan grass, to
supplement the regular pasture. Su-
dan grass is a hot weather crop and
will produce a surprisingly heavy
amount of feed if it is allowed to get
a good start before pasturing. This
makes it a satisfactory crop to supple-
ment the regular pasture during hot.
dry weather.

ELIZABETH’S BIRD
Daddy had heard that afternoon the
story of a very tame canary bird.
The little girl
who owned the
bird, and who
was a friend of
Nick and Nancy,
had told Daddy
about her little
pet.
So when Dad-
dy got home In
the evening he
was ready at
once to tell the
story of the lit-
tle bird.
‘“I am going to
tell you about the
little bird Eliza-
A Little Piece of ^eth has,’ he

said.
“Her daddy
gave him to her several weeks ago,
and he is just as tame as tame can be.
“She has named him Bubsie, and he
knows his name, too, for whenever
she calls ‘Bubsie!’ he replies with a
little:
"‘Peep, peep!’
“Every morning, bright and earty,
he wakes up and begins to sing the
most beautiful songs.
“He sings so steadily that Elizabeth
says it is a surprise to her that he
doesn’t burst his little throat.
“After Elizabeth gets up she al-
ways gives him a little piece of apple
before she begins her breakfast.
“She puts it on her finger between
two wires of the cage, and he hops
right over on his little bar and takes
it from her finger.
“The next thing is his bath, which
he takes soon after breakfast.
“He loves that.
“He spatters the water about and
has just the best time in the world.
“He acts as if It were the most
wonderful game. After his bath he
has a treat of delicious lettuce to
eat, and then he sits in the sun and
smoothes down his feathers.
“In his cage there is a swing, and
he swings on it and hops from one
perch to the other.
“In fact, he has a fine romp. He
usually does this right after his bath,
for then he feels so energetic.
“In the afternoons Elizabeth lets
him out of his cage. Of course she
sees first that there are no windows
up or doors ajar before she opens the
door of the cage.
“When the cage door is open Bubsie
flies out and makes a tour of the
room.
“How he does enjoy flying around
and perching back of the different
pictures and on the window-sill.
“The thing he likes more than any-
thing else is to play with Elizabeth.
“He perches on her shoulder and
walks around on her hand.
“And he loves to tease her, too, for
If there are any flowers in the room
he will fly over to them, peck at them
and then begin munching at them.
“Then he won’t let Elizabeth catch
him. He thinks this is a huge joke,
and he always
flies to some hign
spot in the room
and begins to
sing.
“Elizabeth told
me any number
of tales of the
tricks that he
does, but she told
me to invite my
Nick and Nancy
to come and see
her, and then she
promises you that
Bubsie will enter-
tain you.”
“Oh, that’s
fine!” said Nan- If There Are Any

“Yes, I think so,” said Daddy, “for,
as a matter of fact, I believe I told
her to expect you both tomorrow.”
“Hurrah!” shouted the children.
"You always do think of such nice
things for us to do.”
Birds “Steal” Ride
Which bird first found out that the
airplane was a labor-saver for birds
will never be known, but he must
have been a veritable Columbus
among his fellows. His daring feat in
perching on the shoulders of the huge,
whirring plane was quickly imitated,
and today thousands of his kind^perch
like feathered stowaways on the air-
liners’ wings.
The planes that fly across the
deserts of northern Nevada in the
teeth of the prevailing north. wind are
most favored by the voyagers. They
sare a long and tedious flight, and at
the end of the journey the travelers
ariive fresh and unruffled, with noth-
ing to pay.

mei in the cockpit of the plane, rec-
ogiizing in them fellow argonauts of
the air.

little Betty, aged three, woke up
one mornipg with the announcement
tha she had had a dream. When
asfcd what a dream was she quickly
repied, “Dreamin’ is finkin’ wfiNe

Dr. Caldwell’s 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy
Dr. Caldwell watched the results of
constipation for 47 years, and believed,
that no matter how careful people are
of their health, diet and exercise, con-
stipation will occur from time to time
regardless of how much one tries to
avoid it Of next importance, then, is
how to treat it when it comes. Dr.
Caldwell always was in favor of get-
ting as close to nature as possible,
hence his remedy for constipation,
known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin,
is a mild vegetable compound. It can-
not harm the most delicate system and
is not a habit forming preparation.
Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and
youngsters love it. It does not gripe.
Thousands of mothers have written us
to that effect.
*Dr. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for human
beings to put into their system. In a
practice of 47 years he never saw any
reason for their use when a medicine
like Syrup Pepsin will empty the
bowels just as promptly, more cleanly
and gently, without griping and harm
to the system.
Keep free from constipation! It
robs your strength, hardens your ar-
teries and brings on premature old
age. Do not let a day go by without
a bowel movement. Do not sit and
hope, but go to a druggist and get one
of the generous bottles of Dr. Cald-
well’s Syrup Pepsin. Take the proper
dose that night and by morning you
a)

will feel like a different person. Use
Syrup Pepsin for yourself and mem-
bers of the family in constipation,
biliousness, sour and crampy stomach,
bad breath, no appetite, headaches,
and to break up fevers and colds. Al-
ways have a bottle in the house, and
observe these three rules of health:
Keep the head cool, the feet warm,
the bowels open.
We would be glad to have you prov®
at our expense how much Dr. Cald-
well’s Syrup Pepsin can mean to you
and yours. Just write “Syrup Pepsin,”

Housing Conditions of
New York’s Poor Bad
With the general increase of lux-
urious apartment houses for the
wealthy the New York city health de-
partment is endeavoring to bring be-
fore the public the fact that housing
conditions in certain parts of the low-
er and extreme upper East side have
not kept pace with the sanitary prog-
ress of the rest of the city. The in-
fant mortality and general mortality
rates and the tuberculosis rate of
these parts is considerably higher
than the rates for the city as a, whole.
Field nurses from the department
have recently completed a house-to-
house survey of these districts. The
conditions disclosed Louis L Harris,
health commissioner, describes as
menacing and intolerable. Bedrooms
are crowded and badly ventilated.
Many families live in basements. Scat-
tered throughout the sections are fac-
tory buildings which the commissioner
regards as having a definite influence
upon the health of the children. Doc-
tor Harris hopes to arouse the city to
the need of remedial measures.
