Properly cared for. It is delicious at certain seasons of the year. On the old farm in Virginia the following uethod was always used. No better incuts were ever put on the farmer'* 1 tabic: For each 100 pounds of meat take : two pounds of sugar and four pounds 1 of salt MU well and when the moat ! Is first cut rub it well with pure salt J on the tieah side Let it lie a day or two and tLen drain out any blood that may he left.

After lying three or lour days it is ready to hang up. It must bo kept In a cellar or some place where It will not freexe while the curing process Is going on. When applying the salt and sugar mixture it is more convenient if one has two barrels to use at the same lime. Seeds Not Fully Matured. Seeds that are not fully matured have more or less a cull color and are not plump. Winter l urbans __ __— - ~ --— HIS is decidedly a season of draped hats with vel vets the leading fabric for draperies. Entire hats are made of it and numbers of others are combinations of velvet and silk, velvet aDd tapestry, velvet and fur. or beaver cloth or any of the millinery fabrics. These draped hats are. naturally, made on turban shapes, whose inspira tion in most cases, is plainly drawn from the oriental headdress. Many of them set closely to the head, and some of them so close that they might be classed as caps. They are becoming and full of “style;" that elusive qual ity w hich is worth so much to the mil liner in money and to the wearer in “distinction." Large turbans bordered with shaggy furs, have crowns of velvet draped and cleverly arranged into trimming. Other shapes show crowns of velvet with brims of tapestry and velvet or of silk folded and tacked about the brim. A big bow of the fabric finishes a simple model of this sort, as shown in the illustration. But any other trimming that is fancied may be used as a finish. A lovely model as a soft crown (what is called this season the “flex ible" crown) and a wide brim or cor onet of marten fur. It is finished at the side with a handsome shaded wil low plume, showing three colorings. Turbans, in fact, include most elab orate designs as well as those pretty simple models in which velvet Is em ployed alone, and in which the design er relies upon clever draping effects to achieve style. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. CREAM BEAVER HAT. NEW IDEAS IN HAT BOXES — Chintz or Brocades Used for Covering Instead of Conventional Wall Paper. The newest thing in the line of handiwork familiar under the title of decorative art is a chintz or brocade covered bonnet box. Since a hat box is generally kept out of sight on the closet shelf it has not until now oc curred to the average girl that It might just as well be made an at tractive thing to look upon when it is brought down front its resting place. The bright flowered wall paper with which r.any hat boxes are covcrod nowadays is. of course, effective, but It does not comp-are with pretty chintz or dull brocade ornamented with bands of antique braid to bring out its soft, rich colorings. Since tie i x. ggeratedly large hats show small sign of dying out. the ha*, box large and clumsy as it is. must » 'rtain’v be reckoned with if a girl cares to have every detail of her pri vate sanctum perfect. Even if a pretty paper-covered box is thought sufficiently attractive for a closet, it certainly will not do if the box is to be kept on one of the new hat racks which are now resorted to in small rooms where the closet r»x>m Is so small as not to admit of more than two or three hat boxes on its shelves. These new hat racks, or. rather, cat box racks, are really excellent in a small room. Made triangular in shape', they will fit into an unused corner, ar.d can be made with enough shelves to hold as many hat boxes as desired. The plain wooden frame can be either painted the color of the woodwork of the room or else ren dered still more inconspicuous by be ing covert'd with a bit of the same paiter as that which adorns the wall. The hat boxes are then covered with the same cretonne with which the room is hnng. A Trench print framed with geid or silver metal lace plae-.d in the center of one panel of the box is most attractive. These hat boxes are already much in demand for prizes, while for gifts or for sale at a fair they are still sufficiently original to be eagerly sought. When not planned for ant special room or rack, there is, of course, greater freedom in the choice of material and color To Wash Bed Clothes. To wash heavy bed clothes make a warm suds with good soap and let the comfortables or blankets soak in it for awhile. Then take a new. clean hoe for a pounder. Pound well, and pound again in another suds. Rinse thoioughly and hang ou the line with out wringing. If a hose is handy spray plenty of water over them when on the line. The cotton comfortables will not mat when washed In this way It takes a woman to find an excuse when there isn't any. HATS ON THE FREAK ORDER Millinery of the Moment May Be De scribed as Fearful and Wonderful. The millinery of the moment can only be described as freakish, for sure ly never before was the head of wom an covered with such Incongruities. Not content with simulating the ap pearance of mushrooms, sugar loaves and variegated birds’ nests, the latest hat Is the aeroplane, with large out standing wings adorning the back of the hat and set at the jauntiest angle Imaginable. The reign of the winged hat. sober ly and decorously adorned with wings covering the crown and part of the brim, is apparently over, for the wings must be made freakish to look smart, so following on the aeroplane hat we have the hat which can only be de scribed as a winged Mercury, with two seductive looking wings planted at the back of the crown of a large black hat. shaped exactly like the wings which adorn the ankles of the famous Mer cury statue. There is no accounting for taste, for even if a woman knows she does not look well in a hat pulled down over her eyes until half her face is hidden, that hat she will wear because it is the fashion. One of the most startling millinery freaks seen was a blue velvet toque which can best be described as a be dizened sugar loaf. The cone part of this sugar loai toque was of Wedgwood blue velvet, > while a deep band of steel embroidered i lace formed the lower part, and hang ing from this was a tiny fringe of steel beads which would adorn the forehead ‘ Salomewise. The toque. It should be added, completely covered all signs of hair and hid the wearer's left eye en tirely. Other toques of the moment have crowns ascending skywards. So high and so full are these velvet crowns rising from a band of bizarre em broidery that they give a top-heavy appearance to the unfortunate wearer. Some of the new traveling coau have pockets almost as big as hand bags. Nebraska Directory HU FA FISTULA. Pay when Cured.

Red Cross Christmas seals date back in their origin to “charity j stamps.'* first used for the soldiers' ! relief funds in Boston in 1S62. during the Civil war. After the war. this j method of raising money was dlscon ! tinued in this country for a geuera j tion. although it found vogue in Por tugal, Switzerland. Australia. France, i Spain. Denmark, Norway. Russia. Sweden and other European coun tries. There are now several hun ; dred different types of charity stamps i used in all parts of the world. Stamps or seals were first used to j get money for the anti-taberculosis > crusade in Norway and Sweden in i 1904. After being used in these eoun I tries for three years, as a direct re sult of the Interest of Jacob Riis in this movement, the Delaware Anti | Tuberculosis association, headed by : Miss Emily P. Bissell. and the Red ! Cross society of Delaware combined ! in issuing a tuberculosis stamp. So i successful was this campaign that nearly $3,000 was realized, and the next year, in 1908. the American Red Cross was induced to issue a national Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From this sale. $133,000 was realized, that amount being almost doubled In 1909. I This year, for the first time, the sale is organized on a comprehensive basis, taking in ail parts of the 1'nited States. A million for tuber culosis work is confidently expected.

"No use." said paris green performer. ‘Til do it anyhow after you have done with me." Doctor got mad. "If that's the way yon feel about it. you fool." he said. “Ill not waste my time on you." Paris green performer much aston ished and grieved. "Well." be said, "give me 24 hours to think it over." Doctor gave him 24 hours and went away. At the end of the time paris green performer telephoned: "I'va thought it over and want to get well; ' come and see me some more."

Anything that interferes with good health is apt to keep cheerfulness and j good humor in the background- A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone made things bright for her. She writes: "Four years ago I was practically given up by my doctor and was not ex pected to live long. My nervous sys tem was in a bad condition. Bat I was young and did not want to die so I began to look about for the cause of my chronic trouble. I used to have nervous spells which would ex haast me and after each spell it would take me days before I could sit up in a chair. “I became convinced my trouble was caused by coffee. I decided to stop it ted bought some Postum. "The Erst cup. which I made accord ing to directions, had a soothing ef fect on my nerves and I liked the taste. For a time I nearly lived on Postum and ate little food besides. 1 am today a healthy woman. My family and relatives wonder if 1 am the same person I was four years ago. when I could do no work on ac count of nervousness. Now I am do ing my own housework, take care of two babies—one twenty the other two months old. I am so busy that I hard ly get time to write a letter, yet I do it all with the cheerfulness and good humor that comes from enjoying good health. tell my friends it is to Postum I owe my life today.” Read "The Road to WellviUe." in pkgs.
