HOW WOMEN CAN KEEtf FROM GROWING OLD In the October Woman's Home Companion Alice Farnham Leader, a physician, writes an article full of practical suggestions to women, entitled "Why Grow Old?" Following Is an extract: x "Some women look old because they *let go.' They are too bu sy or too lazy to keep themselves well groomed. You all know how much time it taxes even to look neat. Yet it is the duty of every woman to look as well as she can, and to dress as handsomely as her circumstances allow. "The consciousness of being wellgowned, well-corseted and pleasing to look upon gives infinite satisfaction: and a contented mind will go a long way toward maintaining heaithy action of the v^tal powers. Discontent and mental depression have undermined many a woman's health. "When first youth is passed it is necessary to pay particular attention to the care of the skin.

Military Funeral Over Remains of Men Who Were^Lost in Submarine. J Washington, Sept. 28.?Full military t honors today were accorded fourteen ? unidentified victims who lost their lives when the United States submarine F-4 sunk at the entrance to Honolulu harbor some months ago. Their dismembered bodies, in four caskets, were buried in the Arlington National cemeI tery, the services being; attended by nign omciais or tne navy aua oiiiers. As the flag draped caissons were drawn along Pennsylvania avenue from the Washington navy yard to Arlington, thousands of civil war 'veterans and others attending the Grand Army of the Republic encampment lined the street and uncovered their heads. IThe bodies which were recovered only recently, after having been submerged for months, were in such con dition as to make tneir individual identification impossible. There were 21 men aboard the submarine. Four bodies were identified and buried elsewhere. Three bodies never were recovered. The funeral escort was composed of all the regular troops and bluejackets in this vicinity. Secretary Daniels, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt and a large delegation of naval officers, including the members of the advisorv council, attended the services. Mrs. Ede, widow of Lieut. Ede, who was in command or the vessel, and relatives of several others of the F-4 victims also were present. 0 correct the sagging muscles. A wet cloth in 'very hot water should then ge applied, followed by several applications of cold water. You will be surprised to find yourseu quite rejuvenated. "A most important factor in uie prolongation of life is to avoid obesity. It is easier to keep thin than to get thin, and exercise and dieting are both necessary. Avoid sweets, and an ex cess of starchy foods, especially potatoes and bread.

A year has passed since the co-op] erative agricultural extension act of May 8, 1914. commonly known as the 1 Smith-Lever extension act (Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and Congressman Frank Lever of this State), went into effect. In that period much has i j been accomplished in creating or per! i'ecting the ,admin:strative machinery tor carrying on the extension work in I I . agriculture and home economics in the ! o n tVlO CQV'nrQl QtSltPQ ! ; U^pcij. LHi.V_J.iO UUU tiiV/ UV T Vi Ui vi,wvvs/. j | The general lines along which these j extensive enterprises will be conductj ed have also been quite well deter| mined. All the States have assented to the ; provisions of the act either through I their governors or taeir legislatures j and" the ?cticn ci the governors has ] 03en ratified by a!! the legislatures i which have leer, in regular session j during the year. A ingle agricultural ! college in each State has been desig! n;rtori ps thp hpripfirMJi rv nf this act. I thus providing for a unified adminis' tration of the act within the State. In ! several States where the college designated is not co-educational, a co-op5 erative arrangement for the work in . home economics has been made with i the State college for women, and sim| ilarly in a few States having separate | land-grant colleges for negroes a co! operative arrangement has been made for extension work among people of that race. Extension Service in Every State. / In all the States the colleges having charge of the work under the SmithLever act have created extension divi ! sions or services ana nave urougiu | under these divisions all their extension work in agriculture and home economics whether carried on with Smith-Lever or other funds. In some States these divisions' are not yet as clear-cut as is desirable, and in some cases old State laws or general administrative regulations of the institutions adopted years ago have thus far continued a confusing union of the extension organization with that of the experiment station. In 32 States a o aASaa.! ip. ir? aVio rnrA Ap f n seyai cue uuiuci is m w?ai ul wc tension work usually under the title of director, in 13 States the extension director is also director of the experi- j ment station or cfcan of the college of, agriculture, and in three States there j is still an acting director. In almost j every State the extension work has J already become such a large and varied enterprise that a separate officer in acthe charge of its operations j and devoting his entire time to this! work is essertial to its highest efficiency. In 20 States the farmers' institutes are still carried on by the State <ie-| nartmpni' of agriculture, though in a i j number of States there is a movement f for their transfer to the agricultural college and this has taken place in South Dakota. In practically all the States where the institutes Have a i separate organization there is some | kind of a co-operation with the agri! cultural college in this work. WJiere the institutes are under the direction of the college they are undergoing more or less reorganization with a view to -making them more definitely demonstrational anti educational. Stales Relations Service. The plans for the unifying of the management of the agricultural exten*' 1 ^ ill.!-. J.T. ^ x-v I sion enterprises wiuuu uie oiaies wasi ! met by the secretary of agriculture, in I the first place, by the creation of a i ; State relations committee, for tne gen-1 I eral supervision of all the extension I enterprises of the department bureaus I and of the co-operative arrangements ' with the State institutions involving ; the use of Smith-Lever or department I funds for demonstrations or other j forms of extension work. This committee has now been succeeced by a' j permanent States relations service, \ | created by congress in accordance W1LI1 trie StfUi CL<XX y O l cV/V/mmcuuai.iuuu, i which, beginning with July 1, 1915,1 has among its functions the duties, previously performed by the States relations committee. All the State agricultural colleges receiving the benefits of the SmithLever act have entered into co-operative relations with the department, and in 46 States these institutions and j the department are conducting all their extension work in agriculture j and home economics under the terms J of a general. "memorandum of under-i standing," which is used as the basis for a great variety of co-operative, project agreements. County Agents in 1,000 Counties. ! There has been remarkable unanim-: i itv in the acceptance by the States of I ione of the fundamental features of the i i extension enterprises which was de f ! veloped by the department with funds j wholly under its control prior to the . passage of the Smith-Lever act. Thf experience cf the past 12 years lias fully demon;trated the value of the county agricultural agent as a means c:' bringing to our agricultural people on their farms and in their homes the results of practical experience and scientific research in agriculture and heme economics and securing the practical application 01" these results through demonstrations and other| wise. There is therefore general agreements that nothing is more important in fhe development of exten! sion features under the new conditions arising from the establishment in eacn j county of permanent headquarters for extension work, in charge of a compe1 tent county agent, who shall act as , the joint representative of the local | community, the State througii its agricultural college, and the nation through its development of agriculture. It is believed that m tins way j the need of the agricultural people in | their several communities can be best I determined, and whatever help the i State and the nation can give them in ' their agricultural and home problems can be most speedily and effectively brought to them. A large share of the department extension funds, much money derived from State, county ?nd Iccal sources, and a considerable portion of the Smith-Lever fund nave therefore been devoted to the maintexiance and extension of the county agent system. There are now over 1,000 ; counties in the 4S States which have i j county agents. i On the whole these agents have been | very successful in winning the support ; and confidence of the farming people. ; and the tangible results of their work i are very encouraging. The personal ity of the agent is, of course, a very large factor in determining the measure of his success. His understanding of the re'al problems of the region in which he is working, his sympathy with rural people, and his ability to j meet them on their own ground and | actually to convey to them important ! practical instruction and information in a convincing way >are among the essentials. When to these qualifications are added studious inclinations and habits, the possession of accurate and up-to-date knowledge of the prac! tice and science of agriculture and j business ability of high order, we nave ; a very able and useful man whose services will mean much for the agricul! tural and social advancement of his country. The Simith-Lever act has provided the means for a permanent system of popular practical education In agriculture and home economics, so organized as to preserve the autonomy of our State agricultural institutions, to encourage and develop local initiative and self-help, and at the same time to bring to the help of State institutions and local organizations the national department of agriculture with its broad -outlook on our agricultural problems and its force of scientists and experts who have specialized in various lines or have had wide opportunities for study and observation in certain directions. The most encouraging thing about the extension development in the United States during the past year has been the formation on a grade scale of a co-operative system involving national. State and local organizations and the good will and cordiality which have marked the relations of these agencies in the inauguration of this system. A few of the major features of this vast enterprise and some of the outstanding administrative problems with which it will have to deal have been briefly touched upon in this article. It is obviously impossible in so short a space to give an adequate idea of the immense range and great intricacy of a work which will ultimately touch every phase of the industrial, hopie and community life of our agricultural people. - ^ ''THE DIPOSTOIT , Jose Collins, 'Celebrated Light Opera Star in a Gypsy Role.

In this J latitude that year there was slight j frost on September 30. I "Decidedly cooler weather is indicated for October 1 by my system of weather forecasts. This change will be preceded by extensive areas of precipitation in the Allegheny region 1 and across the Blue Ridge. It is prob | able that slight frost will form aDout j October 1 north of the 34th parallel. "Killing frost will occur soutn and east-of the Blue Ridge on October 30. This is the central date for tnis prediction. Some misunderstanding has i been caused by the term 'central date.' | Hhe term is intended to cover a period | of seven days, with the date of the ! prediction preceded three days or foli lowed three days by the occurrence i of the weather which has been thus ! predicted. "It will be observed that the frost period includes a portion of Columbia's harvest festival. "Precipitation for the fall and winter will be very much like the similar seasons of 1914-15, when an unusual amount of rainfall as compared with I the season of 1913-14 was predicted by the 'Dutch Weather Prophet.' This year it is probable that the precipitation will embrace shorter periods, and will probably not extend as late into the spring of 1916 as it did last year. However, the Dutch prophet reserves the privilege of giving a special forecast on the rainfall at a later date, when he will offer some advice about sowing rain and the possibility of next year being unfavorable in meterolog ical conditions for the production of a large cotton crop. It was his opinion last year that weather conditions tnis year would decrease the size of the crop by 3,000,000 bales. He believes! that the weather has been responsible for at least that iiumber of the decrease of 4,000,000 bales of the crop as indicated by the report of the agricultural department. "Three snows are indicated for the winter. The area *o be embraced in I this forecast is south and east of the Blue Ridge. It is probable that the snowfalls may be increased to four.
