I could hardly afford to buy all black clothes, so decided to dye what I had. I consulted our druggist and he advised using Diamond Dyes.

I tried another black dye and the results were im- possible. I had to get Diamond Dyes and do the work over.

The first essential, the re- port states, {is that the coffee be freshly ground. Any convenient pot or jug made of earthenware or thick china then is warmed and a supply of boiling water is provided in another vessel. Two. ounces of the freshly ground coffee then are placed in the warmed jug for each pint of water that ts to be used. The boiling water then is poured over the coffee and the mixture is stirred And so my Mamma --What car Far kiaaito: ak | Youngster--You can let me sit up af. little lower. a lovely : vigorously with a wooden spoon, metal spoons being condemned as, likely to give the liquid undesirable flavors.

Northamptonshire can boast of a village In which one-third of the in- habitants possess the same surname. This is Bozeat, which has a popula- tion of just over a thousand.

That was because, standing fourteen hands high and weighing about nine hundred and fifty pounds, Justin Morgan could out-pull, out-walk, and outstep any of the larger and much heavier horses whom he ever niet. There are a great many stories about Justin Morgan told in Randolph, Vermont, where he first became known as an unusual horse. - They still tell how the "little horse" pulled a heavy pine log ten rods, when horses weighing 1,200 pounds and over had failed to. move it even a short dis tance. But these stories that tell about the things he did by wirtue of his tre- mendous strength and courage, fail to tell the best story of all: how the "little horse" earned for himself and gave to hig family a name that is known and venerated among horse-' lovers the werld over. Justin Morgan was named after his owner, who had lived on a farm in the "Brush Hill" district of West Springfield, Massachusetts, and later, selling the farm, moved with his fam- ily to Randolph, Vermont, It was on this "Brush Hill" farm that Justin Morgan, the "little horse," was born in 1793, foaled by "True Briton" or Beautiful Bay, an English thorough- bred who had changed owners during the Revolutionary War, and changed names as well, His life is touchéd with irony when we consider that even though a cham- pion of all horses in his neighborhood, he was not considered of any great value because of his small size. Mr, Morgan, who had first taken him to his Vermont farm, died when the colt was but five years old, After that, his namesake changed hands fre- COMFORT for COLICKY BABIES «+. THROUGH CASTORIA'S GENTLE REGULATION The best way to prevent colic, doctors say, is to avold gas in stom- ach and bowels by keeping the en- tire intestinal tract open, free from waste. But remember this: a tiny baby's tender little organs cannot stand harsh treatment, They must be gently urged. This ig just the time Castoria can help most. Cas- toria, you know, is made specially for babies and children. It is a pure vegetable preparation, per- fectly harmless. It contains no harsh drugs, no narcotics. For years it has helped mothers through try- ing times with colicky babies and children suffering with digestive upsets, colds and fever.

For seven years hc 'ved on a stock farm in Vermont. It was here that he left the several sons who were de- stined to become even more famous than their hard-working sire. Thus he gave to the country the first of the great "Morgan" family, renowned for those four qualities of the perfect horse: speed, endurance, beauty and gentleness. He died in the winter of '821 at the age of twenty-nine, his strength unim- paired 'by his years. His death was by no means due to old age, but rather to exposure and the lack of proper care following an injury received while being rastured with other horses. To-day, the Government considers Morgan horses so valuable for Gov- ernmer. work that it maintains an extensive breeding farm in Middle- bury, Vermont, known as the Morgan Horse Farm," where the Morgan Horse Club has erected -~ fine bronze statue to the famous Progeny of the | "big, little horse," the first Morgan. And on the little "Brush Hill" farm in West Springfield, Massachusetts, there has been placed a tablet that tells all who stop to read: "From this farm came the Stallion, 'Justin Morgan,' progenitor of that useful breed known as Morgan Horses." Wherever a Morgan horse is found, it is sure to be recognized; true to type in every particular; the "little horse" that couldn't be forgotten.-- Rowland Everett Baird, in "Our Dumb Animals." | | meme Ear-Muffs May Be Worn To Shut Out Noise Ear-muffs to shut out noise will be the fashion if the din of American cities keeps Increasing according' to Dr. Donald A, Laird, psychologist of Colgate University. "Preventable noises cost employers 6 per cent. of their payrolls annually, through the decreased efficiency of workers," he declares, "and the harmful effects of street and other | rackets continue even when persons ! are asleep. Quieter offices, quieter bedrooms and other interiors in which .aoises are deadened by sound- absorbing upholsteries like mohalr velvet and other materials are ur- i gently needed to counteract the ef- fect of city noises. "Repeated tests have shown that noise lowers efficiency," said Dr. Laird. "High-pitched sounds are es- pecially disturbing and harmful, but these can be curbed to a marked de- gree by placing absorbent materials like mohair upholsteries and drapes in an office or other interior. Bed- rooms in which sound-absorbent fab- rics are employed are likely to be quieter than comparatively barren rooms and are more suited to pur- poses of cest, Even when we are asleep loud noises get in thelr harm- ful effects. . They cause contraction of the muscles, thereby lealing to impairment of the digestive functions.
