THE WOMEN'S MEMORIAL
!, BUILDING.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Within a few weeks the corner stone
will be laid for the erection of a
magnificent new building in the Ma
tional Capital in honor of the women
who served as nurses in the civil war.
and by their heroism and self-sacriffce
lessened the suffering and loss of life.
The building is to be utilized as the
permanent home of the American Red
Cross Society. For years the erection
OF some memorial to the women of the
civil war has been under consideration
and many views have been advanced
as to the form it should take. These
differences have been united in the
decision to erect beautiful building
to house the organization officially
authorized to carry on the humani-
tartan work of the nation. since this
work best typifes the spirit of the
women that the building is designed to
honor. The efficiency developed by the
Red Cross Society in relieving the suf-
fering of millions of human beings in
recent disasters makes it worthy of
building typifying heroism and sacri-
fee
The honor of providing such a me-
mortal to the women of the civil war
must be divided between Miss Mabel
Boardman of the National Red Cross
Society. and Capt. James A. SCrymser
of the Military Order of the Legion of
Honor of the United States. Capt.
ScrymSer felt that the nation should
erect a memorial to the loyal women
of that period. and offered to create a
fund for that purpose. Miss Boardman
felt that no memorial could be quite so
fitting as a handsome building to be
used for the permanent home of the
organization carrying on the work OF
T11G Grfs- Inb tlac Ir1a
ed. The two thoughts are combined in
the beautiful white granite building TO
be erected during the coming year.
Capt. ScrymserS plan included only
the northern women in the memorial
He made it practical by offering the
sum of 100000 in the name of the
Loyal Legion, provided Congress would
appropriate like amount. A bill ap-
propriating 100000 was passed by the
Senate in 1912, but was rejected by the
House. Considerable opposition was
expressed because the proposed me-
mortal was to honor only the women
of the north, thus ignoring the women
of the southern states, who had made
equal sacrifices from an equal sense of
duty. In addition to the heroic serv-
ices in nursing the wounded. the south
ern women suffered from actual war in
their midst, a horror the northern
women were spared 1t seemed fitting,
then, in the minds of the entire nation
that the special session of Congress
last year should appropriate the s400.-
900 for a memorial to the women of
the civil war. regardless of their SYM
pathies or allegiance.
The bill provided that the appropria-
tion would be made available for a
Red Cross headquarters, providing that
the organization raise at least 100000
in order that a building worth 100000
might be erected. The response was
prompt. and through the generosity of
Capt. Scrymser, Mrs. Russell Sage. Mrs.
Edward H. Hartman and the Rockefel-
Ter Foundation the sum of 100000 was
made available for the memorial build

SOME TERRIBLE WAR BILLS
That Of the United States Govern

Point of Size.

The wars of Napoleon in 10 years
cost France $1,000,O00 writes Wendell
Phillips Dodge in Leslie's. Our civil
war expenditure of the federal gov
eminent amounted to $3,400,000 or
nearly thirteen times as much year
as Napoleon's. The Franco German
war cost France 81 $50, 100000, besides
an added war indemnity of 1000, 000,-
600. This same great war, which
lasted only 1870 days, cost Germany
$450. 1000, 900 for an average fighting
force OF 100000 men. The other big
European war of the past half century,
the RussO-Turkish war, cost Russia
$786, 100000. but she had two years
fighting for her money. The war in
the far East cost Japan $650,000, 900
and Russia $723,000,000, not counting
lost ships. Only toward the end had
either side anything like million men
In the field. Italy's little war with
Turkey cost 100000 day, allowing
for mere 10000 fighting men; and the
Boer war in which England's army
averaged 100000, cost 81, O55, 100000 in
two and half years.

DAIRY NOTES


Don't put dairy cow on starvation
diet.
Diversified farming should include
dairying as the most important factor
When cows are stabbed to stand face
to face, they become restless and
nervous.
When a COW produces half ton
OF butter per year, as some do, she
has a right to be called a factory.
The manger should be low, since
the COW gets upon her hind feet first,
and high manger also makes 1t tir.
ing for her to get her food.
How the COWS do draw up the wa.
ter during hot days! "A tubful to a
thirsty COW Is as single chocolate
sundae to a thirsty school girl
See that plenty of clean water is
provided the dairy cows. A dairy cow
drinks about four pounds of water
for each pound of dry food cate
80"
The best COW is always the CHEAP.
est. A $40 COW costs little more to
feed than a $40 COW and is likely to
give much more and better milk.
Overripe cream makes rancid but.
ter. 1t may taste all right when taken
from the churn. but in few hours

up TO the high standard OF production,
showing that the great majority OF
the breed are most superior dairy
cows.
The imported cows and the home.
bred cows, the cows of the East and
the cows of the West. the cows of
the North and the cows Of the South,
all show that they belong to the
same high class OF dairy cows.
The records show that as dairy cows
no one man or no one herd has all the
great dairy cows.
When we think we have struck a
wonderful dairy family, behold some
breeder who has never given his
cows an official test starts In and
shows that he. too, has wonderful pro-
ducers that stand on a par with the
noted Ayrshires.
1t is interesting to notice that with
the increase In number being tested.
there is also steady increasing total
