WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day. 
GET UP BEFORE SUNRISE IN 
SEPTEMBER. 
Ab, to rise up at the dawning of some 
cool September morning. 
And to catch those transient beauties 
that escape all sleeping eyes! 
Along the roadside edges, the purpling 
broom and sedges 
Are frosted thick with dewy gems be¬ 
neath the rose hued skies; 
While spider wheels are swinging or to 
the fences clinging. 
T.ike countless diamond sunbursts from 
out some miser’s store. 
And deej) among the grasses, the modest 
aster lassies 
Rift up their starry faces to greet the 
day once more. 
Now is it just a fancy, or nature’s necro¬ 
mancy, 
That everywhere the world seems turn¬ 
ed into a fairy land? 
The chinquapins are dropping and little 
rabbits hopping 
In search of early breakfast across the 
white road sand. 
The goldenrod is flaunted, and sumac, 
never daunted, 
Again is forming patterns with its 
shining flame tipped leaves. 
And over all the highway, in every bid¬ 
den byway, 
They form that magic carpet no hu¬ 
man ever weaves. 
If you would make life longer, and have 
your faith grow stronger, 
Get up before the sunrise some cool 
September morn; 
And while the day is breaking, and all 
the earth is waking, 
Behold the myriad wonders of the mir¬ 
acles of dawn. 
—Cornelia C. Aldridge in Youth’s Com-' 
panion.

Arizona is reported to have the only 
official woman live stock inspector in the 
world. Mrs Okla Noonan was appoint¬ 
ed live stock inspector for Gila Bend by 
Secretary Samuel B. Brodner of the live 
stock sanitary board. Mrs. Noonan is a 
native of Arizona and is thoroughly fam¬ 
iliar with the cattle business. Secretary 
Brodner says if the experiment proves a 
success it is probable that the board may 
in the future appoint only women to such 
positions.

The long knitted silk scarfs used for 
motor wear are popular fancy work this 
season. Many of them are made double, 
with an opening at the center of one side 
seam just large enough to put the head 
in. The scarf may then be put over the 
head like a cap, and the ends thrown 
around the shoulders. 
A skirt of white cotton gabardine 
made by a fashionable dressmaker was 
made after the familiar model buttoned 
down the front with large pearl buttons, 
which we see readymade in so many 
stores. This skirt differed from the 
readymade ones, however, in having the 
buttons sewn on with bright red silk, 
while opposite each button was a large 
arrow embroidered in red silk, similar to 
those worked on sailor suits. A wide 
belt of red suhde leather was passed 
through narrow straps of the material. 
The same idea, using the colored silk to 
sew on buttons, can be used on children s 
clothes with very attractive results. 
* 
There is some pathos, as well as hu¬ 
mor, in the following anecdote, related 
by the Louisville Courier-Journal: 
“Mister,” said the small boy who was 
sitting on a rock by the roadside, “do 
you spose tliey’s any kidnappers goin’ 
through the county this time of year in 
automobiles?” 
“I haven’t heard of any.” 
“Rut sometimes they came along un¬ 
expected. don’t they?” 
“I suppose so.” 
“Well. I’m going to hang on here a 
little while longer. There’s enough 
chores waitin’ fur me at home to keep me 
goin’ till 10 o’clock tonight an’ I ain't 
never had an automobile ride in my life.” 
* 
Our home garden showed, during 
August, some low-growing plants dose- 
set with tiny leaves of bright fresh green, 
covered with slender wands of little pur¬ 
plish pink flowers. It was real Scotch 
heather — the botanists call it Calluna 
vulgaris—and it bloomed as contentedly 
in New Jersey as among the moors and 
hills of its native land. No doubt the 
damp season was helpful to it. As it 
was only planted last Spring, we do 
not know how it will stand the Winter, 
but we are told that it has been suc- 
THE RURAL, 
eessfully naturalized in several places in 
the Eastern United States and Canada. 
We think it will need shading to avoid 
sunscald. It is a beautiful little plant, 
apart from its associations with Scot¬ 
tish history and romance.

Some of our readers tell us that they 
use the tireless cooker very satisfactorily 
in canning fruit. We should like to hear 
from those who can give practical ex¬ 
perience in this work, telling just how 
they did it. and the length of time re¬ 
quired for the cooking.

In ordering patterns, always give 
number of pattern and size 
desired. Price of each 
pattern 10 cents.

waist. 
Hereafter all patterns numbered 8772 and 
hie-her will be cut with a SEAM ALLOW¬ 
ANCE, hasting line being shown by a line 
of small perforations. Those who do not 
want a seam allowance may trim it oif along 
the basting line. Directions as to basting 
line are given on envelope containing the 
pattern. 
NEW-YORKER 
style, while collarless, has contrasting 
lapels and cuffs; there is a pocket on 
the skirt, and adjustable waist band. 
Such an apron makes a cool house dress, 
or it can be slipped on over a nice after¬ 
noon dress and give perfect protection. 
Satin hats with velvet facing are 
among new Autumn styles in poke and 
sailor shapes, colors black, white and 
purple. In the new velvet hats there 
are many attractive tricornes. Among 
the trimmings, cock feathers, both in 
plumes and pompons, bold a leading 
place, and there are many rather fuzzy- 
looking worsted flowers. Rather plain 
French shapes in hatters’ plush show the 
return of old favorites; they range from 
about $7 to $12 for the untrimmed hats. 
Wool felt and wool velour is shown in 
English bats of deep rich colors simply 
trimmed costing from $3.95 to $19.50; 
they possess wearing qualities lacking in 
the velvet and satin hats. 
A firm sending many parcel post pack¬ 
ages abroad states that it is not unusal 
for people to buy 11 pounds of sugar, 
costing 00 to 65 cents, and then send 
it abroad at a cost of $1.32 to some dis¬ 
trict where sugar is now a luxury. 
Many new tailored suits show the 
Russian influence. A young woman’s suit 
seen in a Fifth avenue store was of 
dark Russian green whipcord, trimmed 
with gray krimmer. The skirt was plain ; 
the coat, of medium length, with a four- 
iuch band of fur around the bottom. 
There were large fur buttons and a nar¬ 
row line of fur around the high military 
collar. It is noticeable that many smart 
new suits are of black. 
A wash-boiler tray is made of heavy 
metal mesh to fit the bottom of the boil¬ 
er, with stout wire handles at either 
end; when the tray is lifted the handles 
hook over the end of the boiler. This 
enables one to drain the clothes, and 
avoids any risk of tearing by lifting the 
clothes out with a stick. 
New styles in shoes show slender lines, 
with plain black in the lead. The very 
elaborate colored shoes are now being sold 
off at great reductions, and no doubt a 
grCSit deal of this stock has been sent 
tablespoon cloves, two quarts flour. This 
makes a large batch. The batter should 
be so thick you can hardly stir it. Drop 
by spoonfuls ou a well-greased tin, and 
bake in a quick oven, watching that tin* 
jumbles do not scorch. 
Seen in New York Shops. 
"Bungalow aprons” offered in a special 
sale at S9 cents and $1.29 are a form 
of apron that looks like a plain house- 
dress. Briefly, the bungalow apron may 
be described as a collarless one-piece 
dress with loose elbow sleeves and flar¬ 
ing skirt, fastening all the way down 
with invisible snap fasteners. One style 
lias raglau sleeves, the neck, slightly point 
t-d.' ’with' contrasting binding; another 
Here is the Flavor 
you’ve been looking for 
in your Ham and Bacon 
When you’ve raised good stock 
—the flavor of the meat when cured 
is largely a matter of using the 
right salt to cure with. Worcester 
Salt has the true salt flavor. It is 
sweet and savory. No other salt 
can possibly be so good. The 
special Worcester process takes 
out every trace of bitterness. 
Worcester Salt dissolves in¬ 
stantly and makes a crystal-clear 
brine that is free from scum or 
sediment. It permeates your 
meats through and through and 
gives them that rich flavor you 
can’t get with any other salt. 
WORCESTER 
SALT 
The Salt with the Savor 
Worcester Salt is the only brand for 
all around results. Its line, even grains 
make it best for both table and cook¬ 
ing. Purer salt isn’t made. Get a bag.

The Many Uses of 
UNION CARBIDE 
and 
ACETYLENE 
The Union Carbide Company is 
the largest user of industrial horse¬ 
power in the world. 
Union Carbide is the granite- 
lilce material that yields acety¬ 
lene gas. In 
the process 
of manufac- 
t u r e the 
power of Ni¬ 
agara Falls and the 
great rapids at Sault 
Ste. Marie is trans¬ 
formed into electric 
current, which in turn 
( n ** is changed into heat. 
I This heat is used to 
maintain the highest temperature known 
to science in the hundreds of huge electric fur¬ 
naces which turn out the Carbide. 
The process of making Acetylene from 
Carbide is so simple it has brought this 
gas into world-wide use. Today tens of 
thousands of mine workers are wearing 
acetylene mine lamps on their caps— 
thousands of acetylene torches are illum¬ 
inating big out-door construction pro¬ 
jects—tens of thousands of automobiles 
are equipped with acetylene headlights—thou¬ 
sands olfactories and machine shops are using 
oxy-acetylene metal cutting and welding 
torches —thousands 
of acetylene light- WELDING 
house buoys illumin- s'AC 
ate our sea coast. r 
Others light the fnAINSj 
whole course of the 
Panama Canal. 
And hundreds 
of thousands of 
country home 
families are using 
Home-made Acety¬ 
lene for both lighting 
and cooking.- The thou¬ 
sands of tons of Union 
Carbide used to mak 
this acetylene is pur¬ 
chased direct from the Union Carbide Com¬ 
pany’s warehouses located at shipping points 
all over the country. In the hundred pound 
drums in which it is packed Union Carbide 
is as safe to ship, store and handle as coal. 
It won’t burn and can’t explode.
