Unless the producer does these things he disre- gards the fundamental principles of business economy, and it is unrea- sonable for such a man to expect the consumer to pay him a profit on business practices which represent such economic waste.

Lord Kitchener Makes. Stirring At-
 dress iR British Parliament.

London, Aug. 25 (5:22 D. m.).- Lord Kitchener made his first speech as minister of war in the house of lords today (Tuesday). He told his hearers that this war undoubtedly would strain the forces of the empire and entail big sacrifices. He laid emphasis on the fact that his position in the cabinet involved adherence to neither party. He said:
 are the same as those under which some of the finest portions of our manhood. now So willingly stepping forward to join the colors, are en- gazing. That is to say. my term of office is for the duration of the war.

war has called to the colors almost it's entire male population. The principle we on our part shall observe Is this That while the maximum force under goes constant diminution, the rein forcements we prepare will steadily and increasingly flow out until we have an army in the field which in numbers will not be less than quality and not be unworthy of the power and responsibility of the British En- pire.
 II cannot at this stage say what will be the limits of the force required or what measures may eventually be- come necessary to supply and main tain 1t.
 Total of Thirty Divisions.
 'The scale of the field army which we are now calling into being is large and may rise in the course of the next six or seven months to a total of thirty divisions to be continually maintained in the field. ...
 But if the war should be pro- tracted and if it's fortunes should be varied or adverse, exertions and sacri- fees beyond any which have been de- manded will be required from the whole nation and empire. And where they are required we are sure they will not be denied to the extreme needs of the state by parliament or the people,

BALKAN STATES ARE
 WATCHING TURKEY Possibility Of Ottoman Empire En-
 ttring European War.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 26.--An acute situation has arisen in the Balkan states over the possible entry of Turkey into the European war, according to official advices to the American government from various sources. '.#.
 Has Not Explained. sr
 Turkey has not yet given Great Britain, France and Russia a satis- factory explanation of the entry into the Dardanelles of the German cruis- CTS Goeben and Breslau. When 1t was first reported that Turkey had purchased these vessels. Great Brit ain, France and Russia demanded that the crews of the two ships be repatriated immediately. Yesterdays despatches revealed that German crews were still aboard the cruisers, and many Washington diplomats fa- miliar with the situation consider it practically certain that should Fur key side with Germany and Austria, Italy would abandon her position of neutrality and join Great Britain, France, Russia and Servia, who could count also on the assistance of Greece.
 Greece Mobilizing.
 Greece is under martial law, with her army mobilized along the from tier watching Turkeys movements.
 The troops of the Ottoman empire are quietly mobilizing without public order to that effect. Italy's order for mobilization on August 27, is be- cause of the presence there of hum dreds of American missionaries. Am bassador Morganthau has been mak- ing long reports on the situation and for time a week ago the situation seemed alarming.
 The governor of one of the Turk ish provinces had threatened massa- ere to Americans if Turkey and Eng land went to war. MT. Morganthau immediately discussed the subject with the Turkish foreign office and received assurances that if any sub ordinate officials had made such threats they would be censured and that the Americans would be accord ed respect and courtesy in any eventuality.

DIRTY MILK MAY
 PROVE EXPENSIVE
Clean hak Nay Be Economical at
 High Price

Washington, D. C.. Aug. 26.-There has been in the past much indiffer- ence on the part of consumers with respect to the cleanliness of milk; too many of them desire to buy milk at low price and do not give any consideration to quality. Dirty milk may prove expensive as gift, whil clean milk may be economical even at high price; the cheapest article is often the most expensive. A high CT price for clean milk may be cheap insurance against some form of sick l ness. In recent Farmers Bulletin (No.
 602) the U. s. Department of Agri- culture has outlined the main factors
 that should go to favor the produc- tion of clean, safe milk. These in- clude clean, healthy COWS kept in light, Well-ventilated stables that may be easily cleaned; well-drained barnyard; thoroughly sterilized uten- sils, and healthy mixers that milk with dry hands; small-top milking pail; separate house for handling
 the milk; an abundant supply of pure
 water The temperature at which the milk Is kept is also important fea-
 ture, as bacteria multiply very rapid
 | degrees F. The milk should be
 cooled immediately after milking, to
 30 degrees F., or lower, and stored.
 until delivered, at low temperature. Increasing Demand for Clean Milk. E An increasing demand for good,
 clean milk among consumers gratifying indication that there is
 more general realization of the inn portanCe of this item. This demand
 has resulted in more stringent regu-
 lations concerning the sanitary con-
 ditions associated with the milk sup ply. Compliance with these sanitary
 rules requires additional care, atten-
 tion. and extra expense on the part
 of the producer of the milk, and while
 this expense may not be large, it is
 only fair that the consumer should
 pay his share of the cost of improving
 the quality of the milk. The con- sumer cannot expect to purchase
 clean. safe milk at the same price as
 dirty milk which endangers the nealln
 of his family. ..-.. ...,.
 A more serious consideration is the marked increase in the cost of
 production which has resulted in re-
 cent years from feed and labor prob lems This increase is in keeping
 with the increase in the cost of al- most every commodity. and the con- sumer must expect to pay his portion any legitimate increase in the cost of of production occasioneo by these conditions.
 On the other hand there. is need of more attention 10 better man. agement on the average farm farm devoted to the production of milk. The amount of milk produced per COW is frequently so low as to reflect seriously upon the business ability of the owner. A producer who makes no systematic effort to | lower the cost of production by in- creasing the average production of | milk per COW is entitled to little sympathy if he finds the business un- profitable The profits yielded by a | good COW often go to offset losses | caused by poor cows In the same l stable.

 Naturally that Nobody fnll

 Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops fall ing hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make 1t at home, which Is mussy and trouble some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe for about 50 cents.
 Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair. as it does 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking ono small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears. and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark. thick and glossy.

 the commanders" Sees Great Casualties. Lord Kitchener then alluded to Premier Asquith's statement in the house of commons that the British troops had greatly aided the French and had been able to maintain their position in the face of fierce German attacks. He said he had sent a telegram to Sir John French, the commander of the British expedition ary force. reading as follows Congratulate the troops on their splendid work. We are proud of them.''
 Public Fully Prepared. Continuing, Lord Kitchener pointed out that the fighting in Europe would result in greater casualties than the campaigns Great Britain usually was engaged in. He said he was sure that the public was fully prepared to meet whatever losses and sacrifices the country might have to face and he paid tribute to the readiness of the expeditionary force and the invaluable aid of the press and the public in pre- serving silence and accepting the nov el situation
 We know how deeply the French people appreciate and value the prompt assistance" Lord Kitchener continued, that we have been able to afford them at the very outset of the war not only in giving moral and material support but our troops must also prove a factor of high military significance in restricting the sphere and determining the duration of hos tilities.
 Belgium's Superb Struggle.
 "If the conditions of strategy had permitted, every one in this country would have been rejoiced if they could have been ranged alongside the gall lant Belgian army In it's superb strug- gle against desperate odds which just has been witnessed. But although this privilege perforce, has been de- nied us, Belgium knows of our sym pathy with her in her sufferings and our indignation at the blows which have been inflicted upon her and also of our resolution to make sure that none of her sacrifices will have been unavailing.
 While other countries engaged m this war have under their systems of compulsory service brought their full resources into the field. we. under our national system, have not been so compelled. Therefore we still have a vast reserve to draw from the re- sources of both the mother country and the Domnions
 "The response which already has been made by the Dominions abun- dantly proves that we have not looked in vain to these sources of military strength. and while India, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are send ing powerful contingents the territor- ials of this country are replying loyal ly to the stern call of duty which has come to them with such exceptional force.'
 Ffne Courage Displayed.
 Continuing, Lord Kitchener said:
 lover seventy battalions have with fine courage already volunteered for service abroad. When they are trained and organized in larger for nations they will be able to take their places in the line.
 The hundred thousand men asked for in the first place have already been virtually secured.

 Three Years Predicted.
 Tt has been asked why this period has been limited. It Is because If this disastrous war be prolonged, and no one can foretell for certainty it's duration, that after three years of war others will take our places and see this matter through!
 There will be serious conflicts which undoubtedly will strain the forces of our empire, and undoubt- edly considerable sacrifice to our peo- pie will be entailed These will will ingly be borne for our honor and for the preservation of our position in the world, and they will be shared by our dominions who are now sending con- tingents and giving sacrifice of everything kind to the mother coun- try. ts
