HOLDING BONDS IS THRIFT.
Selling Liberty Issues for Less Thar
They Are Worth Is the Height
of Folly.
Two things are true when a Liberty j
Bond changes hands for less than the
highest market price. One person is
gelling something for less than its
value; another person is lucky in strik
ing a bargain; one is a chump, U;e
other is fortunate.
You may argue the one is forced to
sell. Possibly true, but his banker will
lend him nearly the amount of hi ; in
vested capital on his bond, or will show
him a way to get the highest possible
value.
The record of the sale and purchase
of Liberty Bonds shows one thing
plainly, that virtually all the Liberty
Bonds that are sold are finding their
•way into the hands of thrifty persons
who realize that the bonds are selling
for less than their real value These
purchasers will hold the bonds until
maturity when they will be at par, and
undoubtedly at considerably above par
In narly every case.
If there is a more decided example
of thrift than this, the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington would like to
know of it.
Veils Add Daintiness.
The woman who is trim from top to
toe never forgets that a veil is the last
touch in daintiness for any outdoor
costume. This year she is wearing
*one of the big-meshed veils that seem
to be the fad; hut just because veil
meshes are so big fashion has whim
sically introduced tiny meshed pat
terns that are scattered over the vtii
Ui an effect ol contrast.

TRIMMING FOR GIRLS' FROCKS
Crochet Buttons and Loops Among the
Embellishments Added to Youth
ful Clothes.
All manner of dninty trimmings are
used on frocks for the small girl. For
Instance, a charming model of white
batiste had a narrow plaited frill of
flesh-tinted organdie edging the nar
row turn-down collar and turn-back
cuffs. Tie* short bodice was made
with box plait effect at the front, each
side being edged with a frill. Pale
pink crochet buttons and loops added
a further touch of embellishment
Many play frocks fake on the lines
of a slip-on, the gown fastening be
ing at the side or botli sides or at
the front at the upper part. A smart
little frock was made of plain and
flowered material. The lower pnrt of
plain material was set on to the uppei
part, the Joining line being cut in tall
form, each tab ornamented by three
pearl buttons and cord loops. The
neck was square and the fastenlns
was at either side of the blouse front
—the closing being effected by but
I tons and loops. The tipper part oi
the ft-ock was of the plain material.
THE CORRECT WAY TO SLEEF
Soft Beds Make Flabby Skin, and
Large Pillows Injure Health
and Appearance.
No matter how comfortable a soft
bed and large, soft pillows may be.
they are not healthful, and women
especially would do well to avoid
them, for they assist materially in in
juring their physical appearance,
states a writer in the Philadelphia
Inquirer. When the body sinks down
in a soft bed a considerable portion
of the skin is robbed of its proper
ventilation and the circulation is in
terfered with. It also helps to make
the muscles flabby.
A hard bed will make the flesh
firmer, and the form must, therefore,
appear somewhat better as a result
The large pillows are not good to sleep
on because the head is too high when
It rests on them, and this prevents
that deep, regular breathing which j
gives good lungs and in consequence |
a better appearance to the bust and
shoulders.
One ought always to sleep on th<
left side, am/ preferably with the arnu
at the back. This may lie a little awk
ward at first, but as soon as one be
comes accustomed to it she will find |
It not only the most restful and easy
hut the position in which sleep 1“ more
easily Induced. The pillow ought to
of course, lie small and the bed hard
or at least firm. The body is then in
the correct position for sleeping and
for helping the physical appearanct
of the person while at rest.
The arms at the back throw tht
chest forward, make the shoulder!
broader and the back straighter, so
that material assistance toward a
good carriage is tints obtained. When
one lies on the hack, even though tht
pillow is small, it has a tendency t*
crook the shoulders, and many cases
of stooped shoulders have probably
originated in that way.
FRINGE FOR THE BED SPREAD
Decoration That Is Pleasing and At
tractive May Easily Be Made by
Nimble Fingers.
Some of the loveliest of the new
spreads for the lied are of unbleached
muslin with Inserts of handmade lac*
or a touch of hand embroidery it
large bold patterns, knots, cross stitet
and the like. One may finish off thes*
spreads with a wide hem, a blanket
stitched or buttonholed edge and best
of all with a handmade, crocheted
fringe. Now this may sound ambi
tious, the making of enough fringe ti
go around the whole spread except
the top. of course, and the bottom ii
it is to be tucked into a wooden foot
i board, but the fringe is simple. Stari
with a favorite crocheted edge tliu'
leaves an irregular edge of points
scallops or open squares. After youi
whole edge is crocheted, all you havi
to do is to tie into every point, or int<
three or live points in a group at
many strands of thread according t<
the size and thickness of tassel yot
want. If there is filet luce in youi
spread, you will want a filet headinj
for your fringe, if the embroider)
is dainty, make your heading a serie'
of lighter picoted Interwoven loops
You can find patterns and direction!1
for such a heading in any crochet
hook, anil all you will have to do i>
to knot your strands of fringe into tht
most prominent loops or points.
BUTTON TRIMWING IS NOVEL
Rows of tiny buttons on the cuffs
and the pocket sleeve, and also on the
front of the suit, is a trimming that
sets the outfit off most attractively.

PAINT AS AN ASSET.
Bankers Say They Lend More
Money on Property When
Buildings Are Well Painted.
AN INDICATION OF THRIFT.
One Concern Advance* 25 Per Cent.
More if Repainting Is Done
Every Five Year*.
Does It pay to paint carefully farm
buildings? lines It add to tlit* selling
value of a farm when buildings are
properly kept up and regularly paint
ed? A careful inquiry of a number of
lending bankers In the Mississippi val
ley, including such sintes ns Iowa, Hit
nols. Michigan, Ohio, Indiana nnd Mis
souri, reveals the fact that in nearly
every ease the bankers did not hesi
tate to say that they would lend all the
way from 5 to 50 per cent, more on
land where farm buildings were well
painted and kept in good condition
They maintain that well kept-up and
well painted buildings and fences are
an indication of thrift and that the
thrifty farmer is a good client, and to
him money can he safely loaned. An
average of the returns from these
hankers shows that the Increased loan
value because of painted buildings Is
around 22 per cent.
Some of these hankers make Inter
esting comment. A Michigan concern
says that, while not especially pre
pared to advise definitely in response
In this Inquiry, the officers would loan
more money on farms where buildings
were painted than wl 're they were
not so treated. Tills bank also finds
that where houses, barns and fences
are well taken care of the farm is n
profitable proposition, nnd hankers In
general consider the farmer a good
client. Another Michigan hank says
"farm huihllrigs out of repair and
neediug paint Indicate that the owner
is slow pay." Such farms are rated at
about one-third of the assessed vnlue
for loans. Where the farm buildings
are in good shape the rating Is one
half The president of a middle west
ern hank says that when real estate
loans are considered, painted buildings
are always taken Into consideration In
making an estimate The general ap
pearance of the property surrounding
the house and barn and also the fields
and fences would be carefully observ
ed lie further says that he has no
hesitancy In saying that he would ab
solutely refuse a loan on farms where
the buildings were not kept up and
well painted. In his Judgment, un
painted farm buildings would reduce
the loan value at least 25 per cent.
A Minnesota banker says that he Is
much more willing to loan money
where the buildings are well painted.
In Ills particular ease he believes that
he would loan 20 per cent, more than
If the buildings were not properly
taken care of. A farmer who will
keep his buildings painted takes a
much deeper Interest .n his work than
one who does not. Another Minne
sota hank says that well painted build
ings have resulted In securing from
his hank sometimes as high as 25 per
cent, more money Ihnn where the
buildings ate not painted. An Ohio
concern says that it will loan 25 per
■ent. more money on a well kept farm
where buildings are painted at least
once every live years. A southern Illi
nois hank says that It has no fixed
rule about this, hut It does make a de
cided difference when owners of farm
lands apply for loans. If the buildings
are well painted nnd thus well pre
served the loan rale would not only
he cheapet, but the amount of money
borrowed would he larger. A northern
Illinois hank does not hesitate to say
that it would loan fully 50 per cent,
more on a farm where buildings were
well painted and In good order than
where they were not. The vice presi
dent. who answers the Inquiry, goes
on to say: “The-e probably are many
farmers good Hi, melnlly and morally
who permit their buildings to remain
unpalnted. but ns a rule the most sub
stantial people who live In the coun
try keep their buildings well painted."
An Iowa bank, through Its vice pres
ident, states that li would make a dif
ference of at least 25 per cent. In fH
vor of the farm with painted build
ings. Another Iowa concern says that
It would make a difference of at least
20 per cent.
All this being true. It Is perfectly
evident that It Is a good business prop
osition to keep the farm buildings well
painted. They not only look better
and are more pleasing to the owner,
but the farm would sell to better ad
vantage, the loan VHlue of the property
would he greatly Increased and the
buildings themselves would last much
longer and need less repair.—The
American Agriculturist.
PAINT AND ILLITERACY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That Lo
calities Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also.
Washington, D. I'.—K curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu
cational I!urean and the Bureau of In
dustrial Research here. It Is that In
the stales where Illiteracy Is most
prevalent paint Is least used. The
paint referred to Is the common or
barn variety, of course, for the hack
woods countries have no neeu for the
finer pigments or facial adornments.
It is true, though, that in the sections
of all stales where white Illiteracy is
highest painted homes are rare nnd
painted niilhulldmgs and barns are
pmoil,nlly unknown. Probably the
lllltenites do not use palm on their
I buildings tieeaiise they do not under
stand it- ulue as a preservative.
