The June Designer.

The Designee for Jane is permeated by an atmosphere of early summer. Prom the attractive cover, on which, amid a mass of midsummer daisies, stands a jannty girl inviting you to a game of tennis, to the fashions, millinery and miscellany, all is appropriate and delightfully suggestive of the lovely month of June “In Bridal White” offers toilet hints manifold to the prospective wife, while “Quaint Wedding Customs and Superstitions” will suppy her with food for laughter, if not deep thought. “Giving a Japanese Garden Party” will help out the perplexed woman who wants to give a social entertainment along original lines, while “The Triumph of the Rose” is just what is needed to make the Commencement Day ceremonies complete. The short stories of this number are “A Bit of Leaven,” by Ida Preston Robinson, and “The Waking Up of Zack,” by S. £. Benet. Additional chapters of “The Apology of AylifFe,” by Ellen Olney Kirk, show that this charming love story increases in human interest as it progresses. “Notes of New Books” and “What Women Are Doing”'add to the literary importance of this issue, and the latter department, by the way, is soon to be edited by the women readers of The Designee, notice to which effect appears in the “Answers to Correspondents” column. “Lace and Embroidery” and “Just Bags” supply the fancy work demand satisfactorily. “An Expert” in the millinery department tells how to make a stylish toque for summer wear, and “Points on Dressmaking,” as usual, brings timely assistance to the needlewoman. “Toilet Table Chat,” “Floriculture,” “All Around the House,” “Motherlahd” and “The Kitchen Kingdom” are valued departments, each, as usual, being intelligently and interestingly conducted. Newly married folks is all that makes riding on the cars a diversion.

Hold# up a Cong resmna n. “At the end of the campaign,” writes Champ Clark, Missouri’s brilliant congressman, “from overwork, nervous tension, loss of sleep Bnd constant speaking I had about utterly collapsed. It seemed that all the organs in my body Were out of order, but three bottles of Electric Bitters made me all right. It's the best all-around medicine ever sold over a druggist’s counter.” Over worked, run-do wn men and weak, sickly women gain splendid health and vitality from Electric Bitters. Try them. Only 50c.

Hominy Meal for Feed.

Editor Ind. Farmer: Please state what you think of Hominy meal as a feed for fattening hogs, compareed with the ground feed. Give results of any tests that have been made with Hominy Meal. ANSWER. Hominy feed I consider a standard feed for hogs. It being quite comparable with ground corn. One hundred pounds of hominy meal contains 6} lbs. of digestable protein, which is one fourth of a pound more than is found in corn meal. If I had my choice of the two feeds at the same price would give preference to the hominy feed on the basis of its containing a little more digestable protein and twice as much fat as compared with shorts. I regard it poorer feed for young pigs, preferring hominy meal for fattening the animals. 0. S. Plumb, Indiana Experimental Station.

Our Man About Town.

One of our citizens insists on drinking his coffee oat of a saucer, with a report like the wind blowing through a oraok in an old barn door. When the members of the family try to reason with him and get him to do in Rome as the Romans do, he says: "If saucers are not used to drink oat of, what are they for?” And so he continues to drink out of his saucer because that is what he says it was made for. V The barbers will tell you that there is hardly any hair oil used anymore. A few years ago, you could not go into a barber shop without the barber saying when he was done, ’’Have a little oil?” If they say that now is it a sign that you are green looking and the barber thinks you look as if you would use hair oil. *** We heard a new one the other day. It was about a man of whom it is said he takes a bath in a baking powder can lid. V A Front street man puts on a collar at the beginning of the week and never removes it till the following Sunday when he changes shirts. He never even takes if off to go to bed bat sleeps with his collar and necktie on. H|s wife says he does that so that in case of a fire he would not be suddenly called out too quiok to get his collar and necktie on. * *

One of our neighbors has a dog thatlooks so lazy that one wonld not expect him to fight fleas, but his owner says he is. a great fighter. He flghtß every dog that comes along. There is not a day that he is not in a fight with some of the neighbors’ dogs, and all that saves the owner of the dog 1b the fact that he invariably gets licked. A s long as the neighbors’ dogs whip his dog they do not object to the fighting. *** A man in this town says he does all his studying in bed. In the daytime he is so busy that he has no time to think, so after he goes to bed be does all bis real fine thinking and scheming of what he intends to do. It seems sometimes as if,-some people never went to bed. V A couple of mutual friends in this town have an arrangement whereby if one of them sees the other being talked to death by a certain old bore, the friend cajls him to one side as if on important business. If the case is reversed, the same thing is done. In that way they manage to save lots of time. When you are talking to a man and another calls your listener away, are you sure that he really has some business, or is be merely doing it to save your auditor from being bored to death? V We heard a man say the other day, "A man never gets too old to learn.” We were glad to hear that, since the old man who said it never has been able to learn much and we had about given np hope. * * «* A man came to town the ether day and tried to bay a pair of gloves. He went to every glove store in town and had to give it np. He could not find any gloves big enough. How wonld you like to give him a hand ont? V An old couple in this town who have lived together many years in apparent harmony, get along in a queer way. When the old lady gets a meal she' never calls her hnsband, but sits down to the table and eats and when the old man getsready he drops in and eats his meal. They are never seen together even at meal time. V One of our friends says when he wants a good sleep he always goes to a strange churoh Sunday and he doesn’t care which church it is. He feels when he is in somebody else’s church he is not responsible for what goes on, so he can sleep all he wants to, and he goes and enjoys himself.

Chunibusco Truth. From a number of onr exchanges we learn that the country in a number of oounties is being overrun with men and teams selling steel ranges to the formers. At LaPorte a shipment of 300 ranges was unloaded last week and ten men with teams were going over the country selling them at from 975 to |7B apiece. The LaPorte Bulletin deolares that the same ranges can be bought right in the city from local dealers at from S4O to |SO and yet the formers keep on baying from these foreign sharks. The Troth has but little sympathy for a farmer who gets skinned by a shark nor for the home dealer who loses the trade. The former deserves no sympathy for the reason that he refuses to take his home paper and keep posted as to the kind of goods and at prioes his home merchants carry. And the dealer who won’t advertise his goods need not expect to compete with department stores and traveling fakirs. Dry goods houses, hardware firms and in fact all olaaaes of business that are well advertised have not much trouble in holding their trade and farmers who take the home papers as a rale don’t get skinned out of their eye teeth. We knew a farmer once, by the name of David Bowser, who, when asked by the editor to subscribe for the paper, declared that he was too poor to afford it, bat in less than a week he went up against a Bohemian oats scheme that oost him |3OO, and by the time he had fought it and got beat he had expended S6OO.

Discusses Sundry and Other Matters.

Thayer-Shelby News. The work of drilling for oil and gas at Water Valley is progressing very favorably and at the time we go to press a depth of one hundred feet has been reached. The many visitors who came to the Valley are much interested in watching the force of experts who are engaged in the work. A reporter for the News was within hearing of several visitors this week, who were forming all sorts of ideas in their minds in regard to what would become of Thayer, Water Valley and Shelby if oil or gas was fonnd. One of the gentlemen had the elevated railroad located as crossing the river where the delapidated public bridge now stands. Another said he hoped oil or gas would not be found, for Che reason that Shelby and Thayer would be ao large that Che buildings wonld cover all Che marsh and then he could not go hunting, and another said it would be too bad if oneof those large oil gushers should be struck; why, the oil would flow into the river and before it was stopped it would kill all the carp. Then Dick Oox assisted the reporter over to Struble’q.

Like a Drowning Man. “Five years ago a disease the doctors called dyspepsia took such hold of me that I could scarcely go,” writes Geo. 8. Marsh, well known attorney of Nocona, Tex. “I took quantities of pepsin and other medicines but nothing helped me. As a drowning man grabs at a straw I grabbed at Kodol. I felt an improvement at once and after a few bottles am sound and well.” Kodol is the only preparation which exactly reproduces the natural digestive juioes and consequently is the only one which digests any good food and cures any form of stomach trouble.
