A cigar can't be all right all the time if the filler isn't right. The leaves must be long and entire without stems and arranged to give a free thoroughfare to the smoke. When a filler is clogged, the flavor grows rank. Machine work puts a premium on uneven smoking. It's not only the grade of tobacco but the grade of the labor, too, that produces the enjoyment in the .Contract Gigar So Straight Sold by dealers who are satisfied to take a little margin to build a bigger trade. The only five-cent cigar in the world made in a ten-cent way and always made in the same way. A perfect blend of im ported Sumatra and Cuban Havana tobacco.

Mr. Russel Lemtst will arrive December 24, to spend the Christmas holidays with Beautifying EW persons . are born with beautiful hands, but many can improve their fingers by Intelligent care" asserts an expert. One can't stretch fingers Into such shape, but one can hold the fingers In position o they seem longer than they ire. This Is done simply by bending the fingers from the palm knuckles In stead of, as Is common, from the mid dle Joint. To make the break In line In the middle Is to foreshorten, and a stubby aspect cannot fall to result. So Important Is the correct use of the Joints for one who would have her hands attractive that I consider these exercises worth practicing: Par tially close the hands by bending the palm Joints, the little and next finger being slightly closer to the palm than are the next two. This will make the hand appear slender by causing the width to be slightly concealed. The last two fingers are not really to be bent; it is more exact to say that they droop a little, the smallest one Just a trifle more than the neat. The middle and forefinger are not allowed to stick out. They, too, have a slight droop, but so little Is It that only the fact they are not stiff at tracts attention. The thumb must be straightened and pushed up from tha bottom Joint, causing it to appear ap preciably longer. If the hand is trained In this fashion when tn repose A Bee Want Ad will rent that vacant house, fill those vacant rooms, or secure boarders on short notice at a very small cost to you.

USING GAS F?R COOKING Where gome (U the Needless Waste Occurs, ('nonius Large Bills. A gas stove may be the most economical way of cooking or the most expensive. Many men have a rooted objection to them owing to the increased size of the gaa bills.. Some even go so far as to have them ordered out of the kitchen after they have been Installed. It hi a womun's own fault If such a tragedy occurs. There Is no reason why cooking with gas should be more con;ly Lhan with a range. If it be It Ik from carelessness or from not knowing about gas saving utensils. The waste usually comes when one has a maid to run the stove. She should he Impressed with thi. fact that If bills are bigger the gas will be turned off. The suggestion U usually i enough for economy. In using a gas stove the flame should be turned out as soon as It Is not needed and should not be llshted un'.ll necessary. Matches are cheaper than gas. If there ts i air noticeable turn off the key and relight. There is no greater waster of gs. After anything comes to a boll turn down the flame until the cooking Is finished. It will keep at boiling point as well as if gas were burning full head. More gas Is wasted In the oven than else where. Often one burner will suffice after the oven has been well heated. It is better to run one burner than to turn too low, aa they frequently blow out. ' Knowing how to arrange cooking Is probably the best way to reduce bills. On baking day, for Instance, when the oven must be lighted, plan to have baked maca roni, pudding and baked potatoes for din ner. , Cooking utensils should rIho be chosen with an eye to gas economy. Pots in tiers dr arranged in triplicate will mean the use of one burner Instead of three. When using the tea kettle, 'vhlch lakes avfixed time to come to a boil and must be kept heated a long time economlzo by having made for it a flat lid perforated, with Moles on the top. Thus supplied, another dish can be kept hot,' or things like rhubr or milk can be cooked on top while water Is boiling, Another Important Item In gas saving Is absolute cleanliness of the parts of tha stove. Where the burners are clogged with grease and dirt more pressure Is need )fl to get results, not to mention the slovenly housekeeping. Making Mincemeat. ' A simple rule for making mincemeat by measure, calls for a pint bowl of ,well cooked beef chopped to the finest mince and measured after chopping, two bowls of tart apples chopped into coarse bits and a half bowl chopped suet. Add to this a pound seeded raisins also chopped, a pound currants, a quarter of a pound of citron cut In thin slices, a tablespoonful each powdered cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Use enough sweet cider to make moist, then add a bowl of sugar and an even tea spoonful salt. Scald well and put away 1n a stone Jar. When you make the' pie add a few whole raisins, chopped nut meat or any Jelly you have on hand. , V, Hat Backles. Surely almost every hat boasts a hand some buckle this year. They are to be seen in every size and shape, and certainly In every conceivable material. Metals, lace, fur, brocade, satin, velvet, chiffon and cloths are all represented, while there are square buckles, oval buckles, round shapes and oblong ones, depending upon the kind of hat they decorate. Loops of ribbon will be an excuse for using a pretty metal, buckle to trim a smart little turban, while folds -of black velvet can be passed through a long, hand some buckle of gold or silver lace encircling the crown of a large chamois covered hat the Hands It will be Infinitely more graceful than If Its full width and shortness are allowed to be in evidence. To use the fingers gracefully Is a matter ot only a little thought and practice. ' Objects should not be grasped by all of them, but by the first two and the thumb. Any object, except those especially heavy, may be easily held In this way and the slen der Illusion is not dispelled. Moreover, It Is not with 'the tips ot the fingers, but half an Inch from the. ends, that articles are grasped. It la impossible to use the extreme tips without bending the middle Joints and to avoid doing this Is the aim ot one . whose hands are not pretty. It Is a mistake to think that trim ming the nails to extreme points will give the fingers an appearance ot slenderness at the tips. - On the con trary, If the digits are broad this fact Is emphasized by the contrast between the shape of the nails and the flesh behind them. Nails must always be trimmed with reference to the fingers, and the same outline must be fol lowed, modifying It, of course. But only a woman with long, slender fin gers can afford to have pointed nails; others, to look their best, must con tent themselves with flllnc in oval Shape, pushing back the cuticle at the base, but not cutting it. To do that Is to thicken the skin. ii sxicai :4 r" I and Across the Atlantic.

Other specimens ' are an apostle bali, which, bears the faces and. emblems of the evangelists, and two china bells of tha Georgian period, one formed of a droll figure In a fool's cap with hunting scenes on the skirt of his gown, the other a spectacled man In tall cap with a very long forefinger touching his chin. 'An Elizabethan, belj shows a female figure In a Medici collar and a wonder-, fully fitted bodice with a; tauque. Ths. bell portion which forms the skirt is en graved In a conventional pattern.

There are hundreds and hundreds of liells In this collection gathered together by one wouian and shown on rare occasions to lovers ot the antique, unique and beautiful. GERMANS SAVED THEIR TREES Nation's Saw Tlasber Has Trebled and Wood Per Acre qnadropled Since lnSO. The Germans of today are a tree-loving people. Fully understanding the signifi cance of the situation, they assisted the government In Its efforts to cave a proper amount of forests. And this explains the. fact that Oertnany has a far greater pro portion of woodlands than any other state in western and southern Europe. Its for ests cover approximately 30,000,000 acres, of which SI. 9 per cent belong to the state, while 68.1 are private property. From a leaflet distributed a short time time ago by the United States Department of Agriculture I quota the following: "Forest experts of all nationalities agree that Germany Is In an envlabie position, as regards her lumber supply. No nation in the world makes more thorough utiliza tion of Its forest resources. German fores try Is remarkable in three ways; It has always led In scientific, thoroughness, and now it Is working out results with an ex actness almost equal to that of the labor atory; It has applied this scientific knowl edge with the greatest technical success, and It has solved the problem of securing, through a long series ot years, an Increas ing forest output and Increasing profits- at the same time. Starting with forests that were In as bad shape as many of our own cut-over areas, Germany raised the aver- Cubic feet In 1S30 to seventy-five cubic feot age yield Of wood per acre from twonty in K06. During tho same period It trebled the proportloh of batt timber secured from the averago cut, which means, In other words, that, through the practlco of fores try the tlmberlands, of Germany are of three times better quality today than when no. system was Used. In a little over half a century It Increased the money returna from 'an' average acre of forest sevenfold and today the forests are In better condi tion than ever before."
