Three Chicago boys-aged respec-
lively six, twelve and thirteen years of
age, determined to run away and see
the world. A policeman who found
them camping under tent made of a
single bed sheet at Hudson lake took
them to South Bend. Ind, whence
they were returned to their parents.
The policemen found the youngsters
badly scared. Brought up in the city,
they had never heard the croaking Of
bull-frogs, and when it came to them
across the blue water of Hudson lake.
they were apprehensive that 1t was the
battle cry of advancing wildcats. Per
haps the next innovation proposed for
the public schools will be a phono-
graphic equipment to teach country
sounds to city children.

ET ASHINGTON.-If you want to
w know your exact horsepower and
the amount Of energy you can gen.
crate under any given condition, call
on Professor Langworthy at the
chemistry bureau. department of ag-
riculture, and he can give you the an

facturer rates his engines.
To Professor Langworthy the hui
man body Is but a machine. He Is
the chief of division Of nutritive in
vestigations, and solves the problems
of food values. Like any other en-
CINE, the human body has a maxi
mum capacity of so many foot pounds
of energy, and to generate this, a GER
tain amount of fuel in the form of
food is necessary. Doctor Langwor-
thy makes it his business to find what
food is adapted for the best results
from the majority.
He described his unique depart
ment in his workshop, surrounded by
an endless series of laboratory instru-
ments, ovens, graduated scales and
queer tubes and pipes where every
thing under the sun Is concocted and
cooked up, to see how many calories.

Uncle Sans scientists put subjects to

The calorimeter Is valuable In

the government to recommend certain

Sashes for Color.

If one does not wish an all white
gown for evening there is always the
sash to fall back upon as means of
obtaining color. 1t may be as bril-
liant some wishes or as demure.
Flesh pink is so exceedingly popular
that It is difficult to choose otherwise
when one is building a summer eve
ming gown, but the deeper shades OF
pink as well as purple, scarlet and
green are all to be had for the asking
and fashion smiles upon each.
The coolest looking girdles are
those of net. They are tied around
the figure in a careless manner, and
add to the diaphanous effect.

The apparatus itself is six and
half feet square and of the same
height. There is a window in the
side to permit light for reading or
studying, a couch, to permit the sub
ject to lie down; pipe through
which air enters, and another through
which it is expelled. The expelled air
is caught and its components ana

then carried off through brass pipe

power of the pipe Is enhanced by a
series of copper disks that are SOL

the reverse of that practiced in bring
ing heat into a room by the hot-Wa-
ter method. In one, the cold water
carries it away; in the other the hot
water brings it in. The exact amount

water, one calorie of heat being nee
essary to raise one kilogram Of water

When the bureau Of chemistry ex.
perts decide that it will be matter
of national import to know just the
modicum of energy that a diet of
stewed beef, bread, beans and radishes
generate, while a man Is using his
muscles, they feed their subject, put
him in the calorimeter, set him to
work pedaling something that looks
like a bicycle, and then stand around
and watch the dials and thermome-
tiers. Incidentally, to discover the
amount of energy on the same diet
that a man engaged In hard mental
work gives off, they get subject who
has a particularly manipulating task
to perform and watch him.
The last subject was college stu
dent who had to pass very rigid ex-
animation. He spent a couple of days
in the calorimeter, alternately study
ing and resting. When he rested, he
lay upon a couch at ease and read
if he wanted to, or just dozed. At
all times the scientists watched the
little thermometers, taking copious
notes.

In nothing have most farmers SO
sinned against their herds, probably,
as in the inadequate shelter pro-
vided them against winters cold
and the hot sun of summer. Warm,
well-lighted and ventilated stables are
essential to high rate Of production.
A sanitary barn should have from four
to six square feet of window space for
each COW kept. Where cows are kept
in the stalls much of the time, 1t Is
not unreasonable to say that the barn
should be light enough for one to read
in. Good ventilation is essential; but
it should be so arranged that the cows
shall not be exposed to draught.
while warmth without ventilation is
conductive to disease, ventilation with
out heat is a consumer of feed" The
rage of temperature in the barn
should be kept between 40 and 60 de-
grees F. In summer, the shades
should be pulled down, lest the we'll

way through, the flies will be brushed
off her back.
Nowhere on the farm is cleanliness
more desirable than in the dairy barn.
Stalls and calf-pens should be kept
free from filth and moisture. Plenty
of bedding should be used at all times.
and the pens cleaned out frequently.

favorable to the growth of bacteria
which may attack the health of the

When kept in the barn. COWS should
be brushed daily, not only to keep the
dirt and hair from falling into the
milk pail, but to keep the pores of the
skin open. This makes the COW more
comfortable, and 1t cannot be too often
repeated that anything done to add to
the comfort of the COW adds to her
productiveness.

he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but it did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say it hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So I begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them
The next morning I made strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After I had his
face washed, put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on and in a short time his little
face was all red and dry. I kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
