est things their true Importance and
assists men and women to be better
mentally and physically is worthy due
consideration and a fair trial from
every individual. So, while these talks
concern the hOusekeeper more closely
perhaps than they do men, the latter
are not exempt from at least an honest
interest In their subject matter
Those who have anything to do with
stock know how important it is that
the animals be properly fed In order
that they may be suitable for their
special purpose. Men give great deal
of study to the different methods of
feeding cows and pigs. They talk
wisely about whether it is better to
feed corn or peas for fattening pur
poses. They are careful, too, to see
that the soil on which the apple or
chard is planted contains the proper
elements to make strong. productive
trees But when it comes to the daily
bin of fare for human beings the aver
age man and woman give 1t very little
thought. At least 1t Is the common
rule to eat what is set before us or
what our fancy and appetite suggest,
until we have so long disregarded the
laws of nature that our digestive or
gans rebel, and we can't eat even the
plainest food without discomfort.
1t is fact that the average person
knows less about his own anatomy
and the functions of his body than
about almost any other subject. Think
for moment of the many noted men
who are laid aside in early middle life
because their digestive organs are
worn out And no wonder they refuse
to perform their duties. We wouldn't
treat a thrashing machine as we treat
ourselves and not expect the machine
to be good for nothing inside six
months. The illustration is more near
ly parallel with the case than perhaps
you think. The man feeds his engine
with coal and wood In order to get en-
ergy from it. He also expects to get
energy, growth and continued life from
his food; at least that is the true rea.
son why he eats. Yet how many men
and women are there who from an or
dinary bill of fare can select the foods
which build tiSsue-make brain and
blood-and which are most suitable for
the prodnction of heat and energVf

A Happy Family.

They had. OF course, been born after

thing. But more amazing still was the
fact that they lay in a small round

The woman. instead of drowning
forthwith the mother and her brood,
retired and from the next room
watched the trap secretly. Her watch
was soon rewarded. Another mouse
trotted up with great caution, thrust a
straw through the bars and few
moments later returned with a shred

with these contributions. proceeded to
complete her nest.
This incident so moved the woman
that on retiring that night she put
handsome piece Of cheese in the trap
and opened the tiny door. When she
came down in the morning mother
and young and cheese were gone The
nest alone remained to witness to the
truth of her tale.-EXchange

other cities. particularly in Europe, he
has evolved IL portable oil-aSphalt melt
ing and tluXing plant that will revolu
tioniZc the work. The plant is the
first of its kind in the world and will
attract the attention of highway en-
ginccrS throughout the United States.
Its cost is less than $1,000. and the
process to he used has been given Il
thorough test.
Street Commissioner Travilla in de
sCribing the new apparatus and tn"
progress of road oiling said:
The oil-asphalt melting and huxing port
able plant is new departure in machin-
cry for road treatment. After two years
experience with light and heavy oils | be
came satisfied there was room for i'm
provement by adding asphalt to heavy oil
for road treatment. and the result of this
investigation has brought about the con
struction of the portable plant
There is no subject today which is being
discussed more frequently than methods
of improving our highways The Oiling of
roads is making considerable progress in
the United States with good effect but
much better results can be obtained by
the application of layer of hot oil-as-
phalt compound to the road surface. In
this way the road abSOrbS the mixture
and also forms a very solid coating and
a strong binder for the particles of sand
and the larger stone in the macadam
road. which carries the load.
The dust which usually results from the
wear of the road disappears. and at the
same time the natural expense of keeping
up the road is diminished which more
than Compensates for the cost of the
process. This comes from the great re-
ductiOn of expense for sprinkling a road
and scraping the mud as well as from the
great durability of the roadbed
The cost per square yard for treating
the road by the new process will vary
from Z cents to II cents, depending on
the amount of sand and asphalt used
The plant consists of a melting and agi-
tation kettle, an air pressure for fur
nshing compressed air for agitating
the Oil-aSphalt and for forcing it from
the kettle to Il Sprnkling wagon; also
steam pump as an auxiliary for
pumping heavy oil from the tank CA
to the melting kettle and steam be
er for furnishing steam for the opc'
tion of the air pressure and stca

The kettle has a capacity of l.3
gallons and is divided tranverscly il
two equal parts, one compartment
Ing intended for melting and miXi

The method of operation is: The oil
asphalt compound Is put in the kettle
and the mixture melted and agtated
from the low pressure reservoir to the
required temperature and consistency
when it is drawn into the closed com
partmcnt and then delivered to the
sprinkling wagon by means of an air
pressure. In the meantime another
batch is being heated and mixed in

" HE purpose OF this series of ar
ticleS will be an attempt to show
the direct relation between do
meStic science and ordinary af-
fairs in the life of either men or wo-
men. Too many people have conceived
the idea that domestic science chiefly
concerns those people who have more
time for theoriZing than for actual
work. These think the subject deals
largely with air castles of the Bellamy
style of architecture and contains little
real help for present day homemak-
erS. There are some who still hold the
opinion that such is the meaning and
scope of domestic science, but their
number is rapidly decreasing on ac-

take advantage of these courses of
study as prescribed in schools and col

One of the chief purposes of domes-
tic science is to teach men and women
how to live rightly. how to use ma
terial things in such way as to get
the highest good, the best results, from
them. The science concerns men quite
as much as women. and 1t means
much more than the commonly accept
ed idea that 1t has most to do with
cooking and eating and washing dishes
These things are of course included in
the study and, assure yOn. that even
these exceedingly common affairs of
life are deserving of higher place in
the wonderful process of living than
is usually accorded them.
