New York, April 17.
Maybe, somewhere, one will see as
many attractive looking women, as
appear on Fifth Avenue between 34th
street and the park any fine day at
this season of the year, but it is
doubtful, Freakish people in queer
get-ups are encountered on every
block, yet the general dress average
is high among women of all ages.
Often it is a very simple costume that
attracts most admiration, but in cases
some small touch in trimming or ac-
cessories makes for style and dress
and wearers are in perfect harmony.
HAT - SHOES—GLOVES.
The small natty hats this year with
their becoming lines, and gay color-
ings in straw and garnitures seem to
become all types of women. Light-
ness of effect is the rule, and ribbons
with picot edges in contrasting or
matching tone, with gorgeous bro-
caded styles make some of the most
effective trimmings. Small flowers
in tiny nosegays, buckle forms or
wired into tall skikes are also ex-
tensively used, while single plumes
of ostrich nucurlod, with Numidi
feathers all in upstanding fashion are
very smartly worn.
| Shoes in various low models with
tongues and buckles, also in tie
form with ribbon strings are liked.
Colored footwear persists in gray,
white tan and mixtures of odd leath-
ers and tones. Fancy colored hose
with black shoes appeals to the
women who wore fancy uppers on
her winter boots, though matching
hose is reckoned better style by many
fastidious women.
The liking for decoration seen in all
other articles of dress has affected
gloves and fancy stitchings, and com-
binations of color, that would have
formerly been conspicuous, are now
very ordinary. Parasols are elabo-
rate to the point of freakishness in
shape, and materials, and many of
the flowered silks with plain borders,
or the reverse combination are ex-
tremely pretty.
To. have only a few changes of
costume each kept in perfect order
and all harmonizing sufficiently :o
that your hats, parasol, gloves, ete.,
can be used with all, will cause one
to appear better dressed than twice
this variety without the note of
harmony. Don’t wear shabby shoes,
gloves or a nussy hat i you can
possibly avoid them, as you usually
can by good planning, for these ac-
cessories make or mar a costume.
FASCINATING FROCKS.
However limited one’s dress allow-
ance, one can this year afford cotton
frocks made of any of the many ma-
terials which having the name ‘‘Bon-
tex’? stamped on the selvage as-
sure one that they represent the last
word of style and quality in their
class. The genuine goods is never
sold except with this stamp, which is
never attached to any fabric of
doubtful style or one would likely to
fade, fray.or do any of the many
things that often spoil the appear-
ance of the prettiest gown. Women
who want to get the most for their
expenditure can not afford to make
mistakes in selecting materials and
clever dressers are careful to choose
a model that is exactly adapted to
the goods. Voiles and thin silk and
cotton weaves are adapted to intri-
cate draperies, while the heavier

How To Prevent Oats Smut.
Our oats has been infested with
smut the last few years. Conld you
tell me what to treat the seed oats
with so as to prevent smut? If you
can, I shall be yery thankful.”
Thus wrote a Pennsylvania farmer
to Professor H. A. Surface, State Zo-
ologist, Harrisbug, to which request
for imformation the latter replied as
follows:
‘‘Replying to your recent letter, ask-
ing what to do for Oats Smut, I beg
to say that this can be prevented by
soaking the seed oats in a weak forma-
line solution, us.ng one pint of for-
malin to thirty gallons of water, or in
that proportion. Soak the seed about
forty minutes, having it in a sack,
so that you can put it down into a
barrel containing the liquid. By lift-
ing the sack up and down you can get
the liquid to penetrate through the en-
tire mass of seed. After it is well
soaked, spread it on a clean barn
floor and let it dry; then go ahead
and sow it, and you will have no
Smut. If it should dry to slowly,
shovel it over occasionally.
Instead of putting the oats in a
sack and standing this in a barrel of
the liquid, it is more convenient and
fully as effective to put the seed oats
in a pilc on a clean barn floor, and
with a s rinkling can, sprinkle the
formaline solution oyer it uidtil it is
thorough y wet. Shovel it over oc-
cationa'y in the pile and continue
spripkli:, o be sure too have it well
soaked.
Then l:y blankets over it for one
hour. Aiter this spread the oats ona
dry portion of the floor to let it dry
and op«n the doors so that the air
will blow through and facilitate dry-
ing. Occasionally shoveling the oats,
and turing when drying, will also
help this process. Drill at any time
afterward.
‘“‘Exactly the same treatment is
recommended for seed potatoes, tod -
stroy the germs of scab that may be
upon then and cause deep rough pits
in the kin as though bug eaten.
Formalite, or formaldehyde, can be
purchased from leading drug firms.
It is commonly used as a disinfectant.
If the dilute liquid is kept covered so
that the formalin fumes do not evap-
orate, it can be used over and over
again.”’

30, 000 VOICES!
AND MANY ARE THE VOICES OF MEY-
ERSDALE PEOPLE.
Thirty thousand voices —~What a
grand chorus! And that’s the num-
ber of American men and women
who are publicly praising Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills for relief from backache,
kidney and bladder ills. They say
it to friends. They tell it in the home
papers. Meyersdale people are in
this chorus. Here’s a Meyersdale
case.
Mrs.fJohn J. Bouser, 31 Broadway,
Meyersdale, Pa., says: ‘‘Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills are not a new remedy to |
me, for I have used them several
times during the past two years
and they have given me great re-
lief. I was troubled a great deal by
kidney complaint and dull, nagging |
backaches. Sometimes I had pairs
in my sides and loins and this con- |
vinced me that my kidneys were
disordered. Hearing Doan’s Kidney
Pills ;highly recommended, I com-
menced; using them and it was not
long before they brought relief I
recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as
a remedy of great merit for kidney
disorders.”

Do Not Spray Blossoms.
At this time of the year Prof. H. A.
Surface, State Zoologist of Pennsylva-
nia, President of the State Bee Keep-
ers’ Association, and Vice President
of the National B. K. A,,issues an im-
portant and timely warning against
spraying trees or plants while in
bloom. He says, ‘‘It is surprising
that there are a few persons who yet
speak of spraying trees while in bloom.
This is a practice that cannot be too
strongly condemned. No one should
at any time spray trees or plants while
in bloom, especially if they expect to
produce a crop by so doing.
