It Is not enough to believe what you
maintain, you must maintain what you
bollovo; and maintain It because you
bollove It Whately.
Friends In this world of hurry,
And work and sudden ond,
If a thought comes quick, of doing
A kindness to a friend,
Do It that very moment,
Don;t put It off, don't wait.
What's tho use of doing a kindness
If you do It' a day too late?

WAYS TO TREAT A PEACH.
To prepare peaches for canning or
preserving, or in fact almost any dish,
remove the skin by plung
ing them In a wiro bas
ket Into boiling water for
two minutes, then the
skins will como off eas
ily. Sweet Pickled Peaches.
To seven pounds of
peaches allow 8 pounds
of white sugar, one quart of not too
sharp vinegar, two ounces of cloves
and two 'ounces of stick cinnnmon.
Peel tho peaches and insert one or
two cloves In each. Boll the sugar
nnd ylnegar with tho cinnamon for
five irinutes, then put in tho peaches.
"When the fruit Is tender, remove it
carefully from tho sirup and put it
Into Jars. Boil tho sirup until re
duced to neatly half and pour over
tho peaches.
An old-fashioned method of preserv
ing peaches was to fill tho Jars with
tho wholo fruit, peeled and covered
with sugar; bury three feet in tho
ground below the frost.
Spiced Peacjies. For six pounds of
fruit use three pounds of granulated
sugar and onu pint of vinegar. Into
each peach Lasert two cloves. Put
into t!ho sugar and vinegar ono ounco
of cinnamon, which should bo In n
cheesecloth bug, and boll. When tho
mixture is boiling hot, placo tho
peeled fruit In It and cook until ten
der. Put Into Jars and seal at once.
Peach Marmalade. This may be
made from tho Imperfect fruit, udlng
three-fourths tho weight of the fruit
In sugar and half, a pint of water to
each pound of. sugnr. Make u sirup
and add tho peaches' cut in small
pieces. Doll until the mixture is
thick, for about three-quarters of an
hmu Put In Jam or tumblers.
Canned Peaches. Feel and halve
the peaches, removing the pits. For
Jto'ur quarts of peaches use thrco pints
of water and a pint of sugar. When
the fruit Is ready, drop into the boll
Jng sirup and cook gently for ten min
utes; seal at once. Peaches canned
wholo havo a richer flavor than those
with tho pita removed, yet many pre
fer thera so,
PERFECT PRESERVES.
A dainty prcBervo to uso with
meats In winter or ns n sauco for ice
cream Is:
Preserved Watermelon
Rind. Peel tho rind
from half a melon, re
jecting all tho pink.
Chop It flno or put it
through tho moat grind
er. Plucc it In a bowl
over night, sprinkling
with snlt over each layer. In tho
morning draw off tho liquid and fresh

FOR THE EPipURE. '
One tires of vanilla and lemon for
flavoring, -and anything new or n vari
ety is always welcomed.
For those who do not en
Joy almond flavoring
alone the combination of
ono tenspoonful of al
mond extract to six of
lemon is u good combi
nation. When using tho
mixture, shake well und
uso the tenspoonful, or
n few drops, depending
upon the dish.
Maplene Is a flavor well liked ; so Is
caramel and coffee flavor. The mocha
curamel flavoring Is a combination of
the two. It Is prepnred as follows:
Put a cupful of granulated or light
brown sugar into an iron frying pan,
stir until it begins to melt, then lowor
the hent nnd continue cooking until it
Is a rich brown In color, but bo care
ful not to burn It; then add a half cup
ful of hot, very strong coffee, stir for
a moment until dissolved; when cool,
put it in n bottle. It will keep for
weeks.
This may bo used for any number of
dishes. For frosUng for cake mix pow
dered sugar with cream until quite
stiff, then add enough of the mocha
caramel to 'color well, and a pinch of
salt.
Mocha-Caramel Gutter. Wash tho
salt from half a cupful of butter,
cream It and add ono and a quarter
cupfuls of confectioner's sugnr, then
cream again. Beat In one beaten egg,
two tablespoonfals tof mocha-caramel
and one or two tablcspoonfuls of strong
coffee. To make this, uso cold coffee
Instead of water, Put this butter In a
glass jar and set on Ice.
Small sponge cakes may be hollowed
out and filled with this butter, gar
nishing tho top of each with a candled
cherry; put on the lid nnd frost. If
so desired, or servo with fresh fralt,
plain. Hot waffles with mocha butter
Is a delicious combination. There will
bo any number of ways of using this
good flavor.
Any white cooky mixture may be
mado most tasty by 4dipc a little
cooked fruit ot date, prunes or tigs on
tho contor of a eeolcy; pjaco nnothor
on top and bake. Thoso are especially
woll liked by tho young folk.

In Woman's Realm
Separate Skirts, in Amost Any Number of Models, Are a Featuro of
the Season, as Their Popularity Never Seems to Wane
Two Millinery Models That Are Somewhat Dif
ferent From the Ordinary.
The separate skirt, like the shirt
waist, seems to return every season.
Llko pcronnlnl flowers, It Is sure of n
welcome. Among tho now models for
fall nnd winter thcro nro many mndo
of plaid and barred woolens, n good
number In plain fabrics, nnd few
stripes. This Is simply a reaction from
the nll-prcvnlllng stripes of tnldsum-
arc too brilliant to bo lost sight of.
The hat at tio left of tho picture 1ms
a crown of velvet nnd n brim of felt.
It Is ono of many two-color shapes.
Thcro aro various color combinations,
nnd occasionally n light and a dark

way. On almost nny of them n spray

mer. As a rule colors are subdued, by
comparison with the bright and often
violent color-contrasts In summer
skirts. But this does not signify thnt
they are dull.
The Introduction of cross bars of
white or black on fabrics that show
color contrasts In plaids or checks
gives them Ufo nnd sparkle. Pipings
or a pinin color, matcning the cross
bnr, add n happy touch In tho llnlsh of
their skirts. This Is apparent in tho
skirt pictured.
'This model is made with tho front
cut on the straight of the goods nnd
tho bnck on the bins. Both pieces ore
attached to a fitted yoke cut on tho
Btrnlght nnd piped with pinin white to
match tho cross bar. The yoke is ex-
turc, would look well. It resembles n
branch of flno twigs with snow cling
ing to them, or tho frost on a win
dow pnnc.
An nil-velvet hat at tho right has n
brlmof medium width and u soft
crown. Everyone Is fcmillnr with os
trich wreaths. Tho flues of tho feath
ers used In this one nro long and
slightly curled. Their scanty arrange
ment gives tho wreath a flowerllko ap

tended Into a tab at euch side, defined
by large white pearl buttons. Tho
waistline Is slightly raised, dispensing
with it belt of any kind.
Tho skirt shown Is cut to Instep
length, but this greatly added length is
nn innovation that Is In the experi
mental stage. It detracts from the skirt
both in comfort and smartness. Tho
chances nro that skirts will make soma
concession to the new mode ns to
length, but good sense will not extend
them below tho anklea. The shorter
skirt Is cleaner and better looking.

fashion have successfully defied tho

as If to efface themselves. But they
trimmings for velvet Jints. Even so
they are rare enough this season to
bo almost unusual.
Ue an Empty Drawer.
For tho woman who must press an
occasional waist, an empty drawer, In
verted, is a capital Ironing bpard. Tho
wood at tho bottom of tho drawer, bo
ding unvarnished, tells no tnles of the
uso to which it has been put Where
a writing desk Is lacking, an empty
drawer, Inverted nnd then pnrtly re
placed, furnishes a roomy flat space
for writing materials. Tho second
drawer of tho averago bureau Is about
the right height for this purpose.
Girdles of Silk.
Brocaded silk for girdles and other
trimming Is In demand. It gives the
snmo sort of touch of color that em
broidery does, If skillfully used, and,
of course, It Is far less work to tuck
n u bit of brocado than It Is to em
broider oven n simple pattern by hand.
TO CURB TENT CATERPILLAR
Undesirable Trees May Be Removed
to Lessen Food Supply of Insect
Destroy Egg Mattes.
Tho apple tree tent caterpillar feeds
principally on wild cherry and npplo
trees, but will attack many otlier
plants. For control, undesirable trees
may bo removed to lessen Its food
supply. During tho dormant period of
ticcs, when tho leaves aro off, tho egg
masses aro fairly conspicuous, and
with n llttlo prnctlco may bo readily
found nnd burned. This work can bo
combined with pruning to good ad
vantage. An asbestos torch will bo sat

by tying rngs to tho end of n pole.
Tho asbestos or rngs nro saturated
with kcroseno nnd lighted. Garo Is

Tent caterpillars uro readily de
stroyed by nrsenlcals sprayed on tho
follago of trees Infested by them. Any

used, as pads green or arsennto of
lead. Tho first Is used at tho rato of
n half pound to CO gallons of water.
Milk of llmo from two to thrco pounds,

to poisons than thoso moro nearly full

WHEN SPRAY DOESN'T STICK
French Scientists Have Perfected
Meane of Making Bordeaux Mix
ture Adhere to Foliage.
According to tho Experiment Station
"Record, two Frenchmen, V. Vermorel
nnd E. Dnntony, havo perfected n
means of making bordeaux inlxturo
stick, nnd to better ennblo It to wet
the follngo to which It is applied. This'
process Is through tho addition of
casein to tho spray inlxturo.
"For tho preparation of tho casein,"
says tho Record, "It is suggested that
50 grams of powdered casein bo added
to 100 grams of freshly slaked pow
dered lime, mixed with a small amount
of water In tho form of a paste. After
this has stood for a short period, an
additional amount of water may bo
added, until about a liter of liquid Is
obtained. This is then added to 100
liters of bordeaux mixture nnd is snld
to increase tho adhesiveness very
greatly.

CONTROL OF BLIGHTED TREE
Only Method of Keeping Dlieaoo In
Check la to Cut Out All Limbs
.Which Are Affected.
Spraying will not control blight on
fruit trees. The only method of keep
ing this dlscuso In check Is to cut out
tho blighted limbs, 'making tho cut
about six Inches below any signs of
tho blighted condition. Tho wounds
should bo disinfected with strong Htile
sulphur solution or any other sultablo
disinfectant.
Trees which aro susccptlblo to the
flight aro cither old trees which nro
weakened, or young trco which ire
making-too rapid growth. Blight In
nn orchard is often best checked by
using somo means of checking the
growth of tho trees, such as leaving
tho orchard in sod, keening fertilizers
from tho orchard, and very light prun

There aro seasons when blight is
worso than in others, because of tho
