“It has been said that a man is
known by absorption, meaning that
we can tell the quality and type of
any one's life by the things he
allows to absorb him."
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
To restore a white spot caused
from heat, on a polished Mirface, rub
lightly with alcohol.
Bruised spots on dark
furniture maybe removed
by rubbing with a wal-
nut meat. I'ress the meat
into the scratch or scar.
If very deep, a hit of col-
or may be needed to cov-
er it.
In washing linoleum add a little
vinegar to the water; It removes any
grease that ordinary washing might
not remove.
A salad may be made more attrac-
tive by dipping the fluted edges of the
lettuce leaves into paprika.
When gum gets on the furniture,
cover with a blotter and press with
a hot iron. When in small daughter's
huir, that is quite a different matter.
Covey the spot with lard and care-
fully rub and wipe away with a cloth.
To remove varnish and paint from
woodwork add two tablespoonfuls of
lye to one quart of thick starch. Mix
carefully and apply with a brush,
using an old one. Leave on for forty
minutes, tUen remove with cold water
with an old paint brush. After allow-
ing to stand for several days apply
wood filler and varnish.
When food burns on granite or alu-
minum dishes, fill with cold water,
add washing soda and bring to a boil.
To keep cheese freshw wrap In a
cloth moistened with vinegar. This
will also keep it from molding.
Home-made wall paper cleaner—
Take a tablespoonful each of kerosene
and salt, two tablespoonfuls of flour,
two tablespoonfuls of ammonia and
one-half cupful of warm water. Mix
all together and boil until the flour
is well scalded. Knead with the hands.
Make a ball of the dough and use as
an eraser on t.lie wall paper to re-
move grease and soil.
Wall paper wrong side up makes
good shelf covering. The leftover bor-
der may be used for an edge finish, if
of the cut-out variety.
To keep starch from sticking when
IroHiug add a hit of lard the size of a
pea to a quart of starch while cook-
ing,
Steel Plow in America
In this country, about 1707, John
New-bold demonstrated a cast-iron
plow. It was similar to cast-iron
plows which had been demonstrated
shortly before in England. Records in-
dicate that farmers feared detrimen-
tal effects from so much Iron in con-
tact with the soil, and evidently this
first American cast-iron plow was
never repaired after its moldboard be-
enme broken. The obstinate quality of
the soil in the Mississippi valley led to
the use of steel Instead of iron strips
on the moldboards of plows. John
Deere, 1837, and William Parlin, 1842,
were pioneers in the steel plow busi-
ness of the Middle West. Much credit
is due also to James Oliver, who, be-
ginning his experiments in 1853, great-
ly advanced the process for chilling
cast-iron plow points.
Scriptural Books
"Ecclesiastes” and ‘'Eccleslastlcus’*
are the names of different’portions of
the Scriptures. The former is accept-
ed by both Catholics and Protestants
ns one of the essential and canonical
books of the Bible. “Eccleslastlcus,**
or ‘‘Wisdom of Jesus, Son of Sirach”
as it is also called, is the name of a
portion of the Catholic Bible. It was
included in the canon fixed by the
Council of Trent (1545-1563) and is
classified as one of the deuterooanonl-
cai books. Protestants regard Ecclesi-
asticus as one of the Apocrapha and
consequently, although they read it for
Inspiration and edification, they do not
use it to fix points of doctrine.—Path-
finder Magazine.
Theory of Evolution
Herbert Spencer finds that through-
out the universe there is an unceas-
ing redistribution of matter and mo-
tion and that redistribution consti-
tutes evolution when there Is a pre-
dominant integration of matter and
dissipation of motion, nnd constitutes
dissolution where there Is n predomi-
nant ubsorption of motion and dis-
integration of matter.
Salt in Commerce
The best grade of salt is procured
by the evaporation method. This is
because the brine is first purified be-
fore It is evaporated. It is 1)0.80 per
cent pure. Mined salt Is from 1 to
per cent less In sodium chloride con-
tent than salt procured by the evapo-
ration method. Incidentally, the pur-
est rock salt comes from Louisiana.
"Patent" Medicines
A patent medicine Is a medicinal
formula on which a patent has been
secured. It is very difficult to secure
a patent on such a formula. It Is
necessary to show Invention to be
present and that the medicine repre-
sents something other than a doctor’s
prescription.
GRAY SUiT AND YELLOW PRINT
BLOUSE PICK OF SUMMER BRIDE
Daily Thought for Motorists
The fact is that the motor car is a
cetter machine than most of us are fit
to handle.—Collier’s Weekly.
FT IS primarily around color
* that the plot of summer
fashions revolve. Which is a
point to keep uppermost in
mind when planning the sum-
mer bride’s trousseau. There's
nothing smartei for the newly-
wed's going-avvay costume than
gray for. the suit with yellow
for the blouse and the accessories.
It is this arresting color scheme
which gives "class” to the charming
suit of soft worsted with print blouse
which the youthful bride in the pic-
ture has donned while the guests
were still making merry at the wed-
ding feast. Tlie big revers of gray
and yellow print sound a striking note
of cliic. Black hat and black shoes,
as well as black bag and gray gloves
complete this outfit which is in
genuinely good taste from start to
finish.
Out-of-the-ordinnry color effects are
giving an entirely new aspect to sum-
mer fashions. For instance there Is
brown which has been more or less
considered a fall color ns far back as
memory carries. According to the
new order of affairs brown, especially
brown with accents of white, tops the
summer color card. Brown with old

can tell for all these very sheer cot-
tons are to be in the foreground of
the picture during the coining months.
As to the charming summer costume
pictured, the frock is of sheerest white
organdie with rows and rows (verti-
cal on the skirt, horizontal for the
bodice) of lace insertion. The color
of tlie exquisitely sheer transparent
velvet which fashions the youthful
wrap, we will leave to your imagina-
tion. It might be any glorified hue,
or make It black, if you please, for
there is none more effective and so-
tuned-to every frock as the wrap of
black velvet.
But about the beguiling tones nnd
tints of these thln-ns-chiffon velvets
which are being so intricately draped
and tucked, shirred and otherwise
manipulated as designers evolve the
cunning little contrivances which reg-

The use of gay color with white Is
outstanding, not only for the ubiqui-

The Summer Costume.
Never an airy fairy frock with-
out a little velvet wrap to top it, is
the message, which is being broad-
cast to the vast audience which has
tuned in on the latest style news. See
them, these ravishing jackets and
cape-wraps of lovely transparent vel-
vet as they go shimmering, glimmering
along fashion’s highway lending their
glamorous beauty to the summer
scene.
‘‘Oh wad some power the giftie gle
us” to describe the delectable color-
ings of these myriads of velvet fan-
tasies which pose so daintily, so pret-
tily over the summer girl's airy-fairy
lingerie frocks, perhaps of dotted
swiss or lace-trimmed organdie or eye-
Ister under the title of "jackets” on
the fashion program. For those whose
fancy runs to subtle tones there is an
enchanting pale greenish yellow which
is called rrioonglo, a t’tle which is in
itself an illuminating word-picture.
Sunbask Is a new shade which reflects
the rays of a golden summer sunset.
I’anther lily and fireflower simple vi-
brate with hectic color. Electric
green, as It is entered in the list of
new colors, does just that—electrifies
with a shade which is not blue, neither
is it green, yet it is both.

hplly berry red, mosaic blue, tea rose,
cinnamon brown, eglantine (a light
cerise), wild orchid, china pink, forget-

late soldier—and still the story of the
tones, tints, hues, shades, call the new
colorings of the lovely summery trans-
parent velvets what you will have
not yet half been told.

MISCHIEF, THE DOG
Hi«
Name Was
Mischief.
nis name was Mischief and he was
beautiful collie (log. He was really
perfectly fine nnd
his name didn’t ex-
actly suit him. hut
lie had been named
that When be had
been very young
nnd when it bad
suited him much
better.
His mistress had
a garden which site
loved above all
things. She liked
to work In tlie gar-
den nnd she want-
ed to work at this
time especially so
as to get her seeds
planted and to see
that everything
grew its best.
But she also had
many friends, and
many of these friends used to call her
up on the telephone.
Mischief liked to have the tele-
phone ring because usually after it
rang she went out somewhere and
took him, too, for the telephone was
very apt to mean a nice invitation,
Mischief had discovered.
And, too, tlie telephone always
seemed very important to him.
He had known his mistress to rush
out after the telephone had rung and
she had answered it, ns though some
one were ill, or something had hap-
pened which she had found to be of
very great importance.
She was working in her garden one
day when Mischief heard the tele-
phone ring. )
Evidently she didn't hear it, for she
stayed out in the gardeu and didn’t
come in to answer it.
It rang nnd it rang and Mischief
didn’t know what to do.
Finally lie thought up a scheme,
and this is what he did. He ran out
in the garden and he stood before
his mistress and backed and barked
and barked without stopping.
First she stroked him and didn’t
seem to think anything special was
the matter, but that, perhaps, he want-
ed to play.
He kept on barkin", and after a
few moments, she said,
"What is the matter, Mischief?”
He started to go toward the house,
barking, and then turned around to
see if she were following him.
When she didn’t he went and pulled
at her skirt. Then she went into the
house, following Mischief, and he
stopped before the telephone which
was still ringing.
Then she knew that Mischief had
let her know the telephone was ring-
ing and wanted her
to come to answer
It, for that was
s o m e t h$n g he
couldn’t do for h<*r.
And after that
Mischief always
let his mistress
know when her
telephone was ring-
ing when she was
working in the
garden.
Don’t you think
it was clever of
him?
And it helped
his mistress so
much with her
flowers for she
could work and
work In the gar-
den and feel quite
sure she would never miss a telephone
call.
In fact, when people admired her
garden, she always said, ‘‘Mischief
helped me so much.”
Rang nnd
Rang.
RIDDLES
When are robes like water? When
flowing.
When Is n boat like a heap of snow?
When It is u drift.
Which are the most seasonable
clothes? Pepper and salt.
Why is a timepiece like a carriage?
Because It runs on wheels.
Why is music like an Icy sidewalk?
If you don't C sharp you will B flat.
When is a chicken a perfect glut-
ton? When It takes n peck at n time.
What is tlie most striking tiling in
the way of mantel ornuinents? A
clock.
Why Is a mother rocking her child
to sleep liable to arrest? Because she
is engaged in a kid-napping project.
What is the difference between a
choir master and a lady’s dress? The
one trains a choir, the other acquires
a train.
To Guarantee Delivery
The men gathered in front of the
station were eye-witnesses of a most
peculiar procedure. They saw one
youngster fasten a muzzle on to his
little brother. One finally asked:
"What’s the idea of that?”
"’Cos I’m sending him for some
candy.”
Would Test Her Love
Do you really love me, mother?
Surely, dear, why?
Then why don’t you marry toe mnn
that runs the candy shop?
Saw-Toothed Grasses
Fatal to Wild Animals
To tlie poet's eye a dewy blade of
grass may be a "gleaming sword,’’
but the similarity escapes tlie more
practical eye of the elk, the deer, and
the moose. These unsuspecting ani-
mals frequently learn, however, and
painfully so, Hint a clump of grass
may be only a "sheath of spears”
disguised as forage.
Tlie biological survey of the De-
partment of Agriculture finds that
the sharp, snw-toothed seed parts of
tlie squirrel tail grnss nnd other sim-
ilar grasses on the western ranges
cause the death of many elk, deer
and moose. The needlelike tips of
the seed eases pierce the tender
membranes in tlie animals’ mouths.
The Jagged edge of the seed case re
sembles n porcupine quill, and nfter
it has penetrated the lining of the
mouth, every effort of the animal
to get rid of It results only in fur-
ther embedding the seed Into the tis-
sues. These Injuries may become In-
fected nnd lend to abscesses nnd
eventually to death. Occasionally
an animal Is found dead from starva-
tion because a great wad of grass
lodged in one cheek had made it
impossible for the animal to eat.
The biological survey is attempt-
ing to eradicate such objectionable
grasses from tlie elk refuge in Wy-
oming and from the Sullys hill game
preserve. North Dakota, where the
trouble has been in evidence.
World Rewards Genius
Who Perfected “Zipper”
The "zipper” fastening, composed
of intermeshing teeth, which is now
made use of in many ways, was the
invention in 1014 of Gideon Sund-
lmck, a Swedish engineer working in
the United States. It was first sug-
gested ns a safety device for pockets
and then applied to tobacco pouches
and finnlly to children clothing,
shoes, spare wheel covers, handbags,
suntents and many other purposes,
nnd the end is not yet in sight. Its
use has spread over the entire world.
It is manufactured by the mile in
the United States, Canada, Austria,
France and Germany.
Several previous efforts were made
to devise such a fastener. One was
the subject of a patent granted 40
years ago. A wealthy company was
formed to perfect nnd exploit the in-
vention, but the design was lacking
In some particular and its operation
was unreliable, nnd so far ns that
effort went the thing was a failure.
The shortcoming was subsequently
remedied by SundSack, and he is now
reaping a rich reward.
rELT SICK
AFTER EATING
"None of my food agreed
with me—I would frequently
taste what I ate, long after my
meals, and I did not see a well
day for weeks,” says Mr. Peter
Seeger, 329 S. Elmwood St,
Kansas City, Mo. "I began tak-
ing a pinch of Black-Draught
after each meal, and kept this up
for weeks. Gradually the jmln
left me and I be^an to feel better.
I ceased to be troubled with gafl^
and could eut what I liked.”

Son’s Idea Not Exactly
What His Father Meant
"Girls aren’t the shy, timid crea-
tures they used to be,” said Fred-
erick Lonsdale, the English play-
wright, at a dinner in Hollywood.
"An elderly man and his son went
to a charity bazaar. A pretty girl
was selling kisses at a dollar apiece.
The father said:
" ‘Tackle her, boy. Kiss her. But
I bet you can’t make her scream.
Golly, how I used to make ’em
scream when I was your age.’
"The son smoothed his hair and
straightened his necktie. Then he
disappeared in the crowd that sur-
rounded the girl. In a minute or
two there was a loud scream. Scream
followed scream as the young fellow
pushed out of the crowd and swag-
gered back to his father.
‘“Was It you that kissed her?’ said
the old man.
" ‘Sure,’ said the son.
‘“Well, you made her scream all
right. I thought they’d got beyond
screaming. How off earth did you
do it?’
" ‘I kept my dollar.’ ’’—Detroit

"Forceful Feeding" Cows
Feeding vitamin D to children by
proxy, as it were, has been accom-
plished by adding yeast which has
been exposed to ultra violet rays to
the diet of cows. This is Intended to
Increase the ricket-preventlng prop-
erties in the cows’ milk for the use
of Infants. Cod liver oil, which of it-
self prevents rickets in man, proved
unsatisfactory In experiments on
cows at Wisconsin agriculture sta-
tion because it lowered the secretion
of huttorfat. In summer cows’ milk
contains more of vitamin D than in
winter, so that the proper addition
of Irradiated yeast to the animals’
dally rations in cold weather brings
the needed element up to tlie proper
proportion.
Coffee Pavements
"We may pave roads with coffee
/some day,” predicts Henry Ford in
an Interview quoted by the American
Magazine. "In fact, that s only one
of the miracles that will eventually
bring relief to agriculture. When we
can make good use of everything
that is left over in farm products,
we can solve the farmer’s financial
difficulties once and for all.”

End of Mother Earth,
as Scientist Sees It
A remote age when there will be
no water on the hot side of the earth
continuously facing the sun, while
the earth's revolution around the sun
goes on unceasingly is predicted by
I)r. W, ,7. Spillman, consulting spe-
cialist of the Deportment of Agri-
culture.
“The time will come," he said, “per-
haps some billions of years from
now, when the earth will make one
rotation on its axis while it is revolv-
ing around tlie sun, with (he same
side toward the sun nil the time.
At the center of that sun-swept tide,
where the sun will stand directly
overhead nil the time, It will he boil-
ing hot, inf on the other side of the
hartli tlie temperature will he around
50 degrees b-low zero, and the condi-
tions will stay that way for alt
time."

without enthusiasm.—Emerson.
