Woman's-Merne Crippled.


"The various womai" ~ movements
are greatly crippled, but thai Is only
small part of the harm DONE
when a million men are suffering
in trenches wet and cold and wounded,
what are few children suffering un-
der hard conditions in the factories?
Take old age pensions, upon which
England, France and Germany have
been working. With widows and
fatherless children numbered by the
thousands in each of these countries,
what are a few old people more or
less? 1t will be years before these
things are taken up again. The whole
social fabric is tortured and twisted.
Infant mortality is one of the
things which we are just beginning to
deal with. We are trying to learn why
such numbers of little children under

nations craftsmanship was challenged

Annual Crop of Oats.

The worlds annual crop of oats, in
Guiding the total of the II countries
which are the chief producers, is g.
426,000,000 bushels a year. The United
States raised 1,123,000,000 bushels,
which places her in position to ex-
port large quantities without feeling
the loss. A very large part of the corn
crop is raised in the United States. Of
the total annual crop of 2,776,000,000
bushels raised by nine countries the
United States raises 1878, 100000 BUSH
els. 1t is surprising to find that Hun
gary produced upward of 200,000,000
bushels and Italy 100,000,000 bushels.
The worlds crop of barley grown in II
countries was last year 1926 100000
bushels, Of which only 173,00O,O00 was
raised in America.

BROUGHT INGENUITY TO BEAR
FireIess Cooker to Aid Her in
Task of Washing.

That the fireless cooker principle is
Homework has been proved conclu-
sively by one of our clever readers,
who startled me the other day by writ
ing that she washes her clothes in
hreless cooker, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. This sounded unbelievable,
but this is what she did:
She purchased a large, well-made
barrel with the head knocked off, and
also bought large galvanized can
with close-ftting lid, such as is used
for removing garbage or containing
water. She placed the large can with
in the barrel and she filled the three
inch space between the two entirely
with excelsior, which she packed down
thoroughly-in other words, she insult
ated the can as much as possible.
She also made a little cushion stuffed
with excelsior to entirely cover the
barrel top and fit down over the top
of the inner can.
Now what next did this woman?
She filled the can half full Of boiling
water, In which she placed her white
clothes, together with generous
handful of soap powder. She then
shut the lid, pressed down the circular
cushion and let the clothes remain in
the suds over night. In the morning
she found them very thoroughly
soaked, to say the least, and thus
a great deal Of her washday labor
saved.
Who says our housewives are not
ingenious?

Crane Mine.

Pick the grapes from the stems,
wash and drain thoroughly, and to four
quarts of grapes put three pounds Of
brown sugar and put in jug or cask.
1 prefer the jug, as have better luck
with it. Let it remain until next
March, then draw off the wine and
bottle, and to every gallon of juice
drawn off put one quart of water into
the grapes, with three-quarters of a
pound of sugar for another drawing of
wine Let the last remain until fall,
then draw off. Remember the first in
March, the second in September. Don't
crush the grapes, but make with
grapes whole. The longer you keep
the wine after bottled the better it is.
1 shook mine well SO the jugs were
full.-Boston Globe.

WELL PERSON NOT AFFECTED
Residence in or Near Tuberculosis In
stituton Denied to Be Dangerous
to the Healthy.

Among the most significant opinions
expressed in pamphlet on The Ell
feet of tuberculosis Institutions on the
Value and Desirability of Surrounding
Property" issued by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, are those by i've
of the largest life insurance companies
in the United States. These COM
panies were asked if residence IN
tuberculosis sanatorium by healthy
individual was considered an adverse
factor in issuing insurance and also II
residence in the neighborhood OF
sanatorium constituted such an ad-
verse factor. Two of the companies
answered the first question in the af-
firmative and two in the negative, Dut
every one of them answered that resi-
dence near a tuberculosis sanatorium
was not considered an adverse factor
in issuing life insurance.
DR.. Edward L. Trudeau, who built
the first tuberculosis sanatorium in
the United States in 1885, says:
when 1 bought the first land on
which the Adirondack Cottage sani-
forum is built, paid S25 an acre for
it, but the price was then thought abb
surdly high. My last purchase of five
acres cost me $4,000. To my knowl-
edge, there has never been an en-
ploye who came to the sanatorium in
sound health who developed tubercu-
losis while there; and a sanatorium
can no more endanger the health of
the neighborhood in which it is built,
even if the residences are at it's very
gates, than it could if it were placed
on top of a high mountain miles away
from habitation."

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS

When making apricot: jam add a lit
tie lemon juice. 1t gives an excellent
flavor.
When whipping cream beat slowly
for the first two minutes and then very
rapidly.
Instead of boiling beetroots roast
them in the oven. The flavor will be
much improved.
If bacon is soaked in water for few
minutes before frying it will prevent
the fat from running.
Save the vinegar left over from
pickles. 1t is better than ordinary
vinegar for salad dressing.
Gold embroidery may be cleaned
when it furnishes with brush dipped
in burned and pulverized rock alum.
When washing saucepans be sure to
lay them in front of the fire for five or
ten minutes, SO that they may dry
thoroughly inside, and so prevent de-
teriorating through getting rusty.

Warship Terms.

The term light cruiser" frequently
occurring in war dispatches, is new
and is liable to mislead the casual
reader. 1t suggests small vessel
one employed in skirmishing and in
similar service, whereas it may be ap-
piled to cruisers of large displace-
ment and heavy armament. The orr
gin of the term may be traced back
to the desire of the British admiralty
to coin a designation for vessels not
heavily armored, and yet in some
measure protected against the enemy's
fire by their construction. 1t desig-
mates vessels that have only deck
armor and those that are without even
this shield. Among the light
cruisers" in the British navy are many
which displace more than $500 tons
each, and one tremendous vessel, the
Eclipse, which has the dimensions OF
a Neutrality-suspicious. Transcript.

Disappointment..

One of the stories that President
Wilson tells is of small boy whom
he encountered at Staunton, Va. The
president was speaking to a crowd
from the steps Of the Baldwin Semi
nary for Girls. The boy pushed and
showed his way through the crowd
until he found himself squarely in
front of President Wilson, whereupon
he shouted, eXcitedly:
"Where is it? Where is it,"
Mr.. Wilson stopped his speech, and
with a broad smile said, good-natured-
ly: well, my boy, l guess l am it "

Julian Street tells in Golfers Week
ly how a friend of his, riding west

Waterproof Cement.

1t is said that the United States
army engineers have long used the fol-
lowing mixture for water-proofing &C.

of sand, three-quarters of pound of
dry powdered alum to each cubic foot
of sand. These are mixed and dried,
and to them is added water in which

is said is nearly as strong as ordinary
