IMPROVEMENT i'll CITY MILK
Restoration OF Sale TO Bottles in Chi.
cago Has Been Means Of Lower
ing infant Mortality.


Restricting the sale of milk to bot
ties, In the city Of Chicago, has been
the means Of improving the quality
and lowering the infant mortality
The new city ordinance which went
into effect In Chicago the first of this
year requires all cows to be tested or
the milk pasteurized, and the result
Of this measure is expected to be most
beneficial to the consumer. In CO.
operation with the wedding out of in
sanitary milk rooms in the city--a
campaign inaugurated by the authori-
ties marked improvements are look
ed for in the quality Of milk sold to
the consumers.
Milk bottled in the country" is a
slogan which has been extensively
employed by dealers. It has increa-
sed the sale of milk delivered in this
manner and earned for Chicago the
distinction Of having the supply bot
tied in the country instead of in the
city as is the case generally.
The inspection of retail milk rooms
In Washington, d. G., requires more
time and labor than in other cities
Of like size because the number Of
small dealers is large. Owing to the
limited volume of business handled,
many of these milk rooms are inter
mingled with domestic and business
life, which, compared with other cit
les, might be considered a prominent
fault. General conditions, however,
show steady improvement. and the
efforts of the health department are
meeting with success.

FOR THE GIRL WHO KNITsI
Couch or Bed Afghan ls Work at
Once interesting and
Beautiful.

The girl who finds knitting a rest
should start on couch or bed afghan
that is as easy to do as it is dainty.
It is knit in stripes Of two colors and
the stitch gives an effect Of almost q
plated cover.
Use bone needles Of moderate thick
ness and Germantown wool in white
with any color in combination. Blue
and white and pink and white are fa-
vorites.
The afghan may be any desired size
and the stripes can be put in as fancy
dictates. A good proportion is 20
stitches on the needle and about q
yard long.
The stitch Is simple. Throw on the
70 stitches, then knit four stitches,
throw the thread forward and knit OF
two stitches together, then throw it
back and knit four more stitches,
again throw thread forward and knit
on the two togetheT; throw it back
and knit four more. That is all there
is to it. 1t gives an open-work and
closed lengthwise stripe that is novel.
For coloring knit seven rows of the
white. then three of blue, three Of
white, three more Of blue, and SO on
until there are three narrow blue
stripes and two white. Then knit Is
rows of white and repeat the narrow
stripping of blue and white, with Is
more rows of white. Alternate in this
way until the afghan is long enough.
ending with seven rows of white as in
the start.
For a finish, crochet seven-stitch-
ed shell in blue around the entire
edge.

MUST HAVE CONSTANT CARE
Too Much Palms Cannot Be Bestowed
On the Hair That Is Not
Ones Own.

If your glory crown is not what the
rose-growers call root grown" extra
pains must be taken to keep it in con-
dition. Neglected, the most costly
hair is soon worthless; worse dis
ease-breeding.
The postiche, switch, transformation
should be brushed as carefully as the
real hair and as often. The best way
to do it is to put towel on lap or
table and, spreading the piece on 1t,
brush with rubber-packed boar bris-
tie brush, first one side, then on the
other. This removes tangles and does
not tear the hair as does comb.
Without natural oils bought" hair
soon grows lustreIess. 1t should be
brushed frequently with brilliantine.
Put a few drops in the palm of the
hand. then rub the brush over it. Be
sure to get brilliantine that Is not
greasy. There are several makes that
give luster yet do not leave the hair
sticky.
False hair can be washed in thick
soapsuds made from pure white soap.
Only the lather should be used, and
rinse in several waters. Dry between
chamois cloths or press almost dry in
the hands, then hang in current OF
air. and when dry shake and brush un-
til fluffy.
Occasional washing with gasoline is
good for false hair. Do not use am
monia or borax on false hair, as it
discolors it or, If the hair is dyed, will
streak it.
Do not throw your bought" hair
down carelessly when not in use. It
quickly becomes tangled and catches
dust.

NOVELTIES in PLACE CARDS
Hint That Should Be Welcome to the
Hostess Who 10 Looking for
Something New.

Attractive place cards are good
sized paper dolls dressed in satin and
tulle veil, and carrying a brides bou-
quet. These are fastened to oblong
paper standards so they can stand
erect at each plate. Sometimes a
figure of the groom is used for the
girls. but the male costume is Of
different period. This will not be hard
If period fashion books are found in
a good library.
Another pretty idea is big square

with rose petals or rice to be thrown
after the departing couple, then tie
the ends SO they drop in four points.
The name of the guest can be stuck
in the top of these folds.
Simple cards, painted with orange
blossoms or other appropriate flowers,
can have tied to them charms of tiny
silver wedding bells or bride slippers.

MILK STRAIN OF SH0RTHoRN
Found Excellent Breed Where Dairy.
ing Is Not Specialized and but
Few Animals Kept.

Where dairying is not specialized
but few cows are kept to supply the
household with milk and butter, and
to give an abundance of good milk
for family use, the milking strain of
Shorthorns finds its place. This breed
has, in Canada, been bred for beef so
exclusively that the milking qualities
have suffered: but there are great
possibilities in this fine type of cat
tie. with their placid disposition and
general good health. They are grow
ing in favor with dairymen. The
male calves can be reared for beef,
and, If anything happens to the COWS
they can be easily made ready for the
butcher
The Shorthorn is of English origin,
Is above the average in size and
weight, and gives a medium flow Of
standard quality milk. She may be
white. red or roam. or combination
of any of these colors.

Both Of these cattle are particularly

large quantities of milk. very rich.
Many Kerries give quite as rich

Don't let the butcher get good. de-

A good supply of pumpkins will now
be relished by the dairy cattle.
Cold fall rains will cut down the

AS rule, cows should be bred so
they will freshen once in twelve
months.
Skim-milk is such a necessity on the
farm that no dairy farmer can AFFORD
to be without a separator.
The milk vessel should be smooth
on the inside. There should be no
crevices and cracks that are difficult
to clean.
Better dairy farmers as well as bet
ter dairy cows are necessary before
dairying reaches the plane which It
well deserves.
One way to set good example for
the young farmers in your neighbor-

and keep them right.
