It used to be considered out of place for an older woman to wear anything but gray or black. Fortunately this cruel notion has been swept away with sundry old-time ideas and to -day we see our grandmothers wearing what- ever touch of color will best bring out the beauty that was concealed under black. A good rule is that all hard, cold colors be avoided by the woman past her youth. Black also emphasizes age and adds years to any face that isn't glowing with youth. "Black should not be worn after a woman is thirty, unless for mourning, nor again until after she is sixty," is an old saying in France, that country of fashions. Black should always be relieved with a light color at the neck line. Black satin has too high a finish to be really becoming, where soft - finished stuffs might be lovely. .- A gray-haired woman rarely ,looks well in tan or brown tones.

The farm mother is the nurse of the whole family. Not only is she ex- pected to treat the minor ills of the children, but she must be in readiness to render first aid to the farm workers who are injured. She should there- fore always have in her emergency medicine chest a small quantity of sterilized absorbent cotton, a small roll of adhesive tape, some antiseptic tablets, to be dissolved in water used in washing wounds, a small roll of sterilized gauze bandage, a small vial of turpentine, a small vial of iodine and a number of other simple and well-known remedies that will suggest themselves. By having these things in readiness, cuts, bruises and other wounds roay be, promptly treated by the housewife, often preventing infec- tion and consequent troubles, change was desired a new picture was ont+een�hcre two days. you can."

Notwithstanding . the great care with which manufacturers place their products in the hands of consumers, the repeated warning issued regarding the hazardous nature of the material, and the strict regulations covering the manufacture, transportation and stor- age of explosives, there is a continu- ous record of accidents due to care- lessness and ignorance. The explosives division of the Fed- eral Department of Mines has recently issued a small pamphlet on "The Handling of Explosives," which is de- signed, to quote from the pamphlet, "to call attention to the cardinal prin- ciples • which should be observed in the handling of explosives and shot firing, from the point of view of sate- ty." While the general public may rarely come in contact with explosives a knowledge of the fundamentals in their handling, transportation and storage and of their employment, eith- er on the farm for land clearing or in zonstruction work, will in many cases allay a curiosity that may result in serious accident or loss of life.
