HEALTH PAYS.

VVIHETHER you raise chickens, horses,
w apples or potatoes you are vitally
" interested in methods of prevention
and of fighting the diseases to which they
are susceptible. 1t is an economic saving to
prevent disease from destroying a portion
Of your income, and looking at it in that
light you take what precautions you think
are necessary.
Do you give as much attention to your
own health as you do to that of favorite
steeri
Irregular meals, long hours and hard
work tend to undermine the health, if pre-
cautions are not taken. And, considered
from the viewpoint of dollars and cents, it
Is far more valuable to you that you retain

THE HORSE AGAIN.
VETERAN HORSE TRADERS are al

" most unanimous in declaring that the
past summer was one Of the worst
they had ever known for their business
Prices were low and there were few buyers
even at sales replete with good bargains.
From one Of the greatest slumps it has.
known since the inroad of the automobile,
the horse market suddenly revived on the
declaration Of war in Europe, with the re-
suit that it is in better condition today
than it has been in long while.
The horse is yet far from being. thing Of
the past. In spite of the marvellous heavily
armored land cruisers the automobile manu-
facturers have given to the military man,
the cavalry is an essential part Of an army
in the field. This is probably as much so
today as it ever was though before the pres
ent conflict had begun many had predicted
that the cavalry would prove Of little value
in modern fighting with high power, long.
range guns, and aeroplanes to do the scou.
duty hitherto assigned to the cavalry. Yet
as it has turned out thus far, the German
cavalry is one Of the most effective forces
the Kaiser is using against the allied armies.
The gallant Uhlans have shared much Of the
laurels Of victory with the mighty siege
guns and narvelously trained infantry. And
the cavalry corps in the British and French
military machines have rendered excellent
account of themselves.
A horse is splendid mark for a bullet
however, and it is not to be wondered at
that the supply is rapidly decreasing il
Europe. For many weeks the fighting has
been principally between the foot soldiers
and artillery, with only occasional sorties by
the cavalry. But each mounted raid costs
dearly in the lives Of horses and men.
Already dealers in the United States have
been commissioned by European powers to
purchase horse flesh for use on continental
battlefields. This means an increase in value
that is certain to be taken advantage of by
breeders. There is money in raising good
horses now, more money than there has been
in years, and Northwestern breeders will be
among those who profit by the increased de-
mand.

DEPRESSION TEMPORARY.

THE LAMENTABLE war waging in
Europe, the most widespread, costly
and probably to be the most destruc-
tive Of human Life ever waged on the sur
face of the earth, is felt all over the world
In some degree. The navies Of the belliger-
ents are so numerous in their units, SO swift
and so powerful as a whole, that the high
seas in every quarter Of the globe are rem
dered unsafe for merchant ships. Never be-
fore has war prevailed which was felt so
widely over the earth as that now raging
In Western Europe
1t is impossible to see how this should
continue long The crops Of the United
States are the largest ever harvested IN
cereals, and the cotton crop is immensa
The belligerent nations will need these COM
modities, not only as much as usual, but far
more The exportable wheat crop Of Amer
lea is exceedingly large. So is the corn crop,
and also the cotton crop If these staples
should be permanently tied up it would b
In a way as disastrous to our people as to
those engaged in the combat. If the embargo
on commerce should last many months tho
effects would be felt in almost every house
hold in America.

great English fleet, aided by that Of Franco

Of the Teuton nations from tho waters Of
the Seven Seas From London have como
assurances that the sea between our country
and Great Britain was. open and safe to
ships Of commerce, but there is some doubt
in the minds of the shippers, and more IN
those Of the insurance people as to the ae-
curacy Of this statement
There is, to be sure, another reason for
the temporary stay in the export business OF
foodstuffs and cotton, SO greatly needed in
Great Britain and other European countries,
namely, the lack Of money to pay for tho
cargoes. To be sure, there is no very great
scarceness of provisions yet in most parts
Of Europe. It is harvest time all through
these countries. and in spite Of the absence
Of the bodied men in the war most Of
the crops will be gathered. When the home
supplies Of food are exhausted, as will be
the case in couple Of months at the most.
and when the spot stock Of cotton is all
used up, we may be assured that ways and
means will be devised to get new supplies
into the country.
The prices of these commodities are surs
to be good, and it is difficult to reason out
any wherefore that would indicate any long
continued depression in business in America.

that dying statement may. be taken
as evidence in civil as well as in cri-

to sustain the claim of. a:sdefendant
that he had paid $4,000 for a, farm.
The lower court refused to admit
the evidence, but the Supreme court

EVERY DAY FOODS.

The common dishes which are pre-
pared every day are those which we
delight to vary, In order to appeal to
the appetite.
Cheese is so common upon our ia
bles, but I wonder If we realize Its
food value. Nearly every one has an
idea that cheese is tndigestible. but
the government reports, which are
based upon many experiments, snow
lis that it is not, as supposed, hard to
digest, for it is proved to be as easily
digested as meat and has twice It's
muscle-making value.
An ounce Of cheese Is equivalent In
nutritive value to one egg, two ounces
OF meat or a glass of milk.
CHEESE is admirably adapted for all
races. all climates and conditions, and
with a hard cracker and a. bit OF ruit
will supply all the sustenance needed
to give q we'll balanced ration.
CHEESE Is at its best uncooked.
though we like the variety which 1t
gives in limitations with other
foods.
One needs to remember that cheese
is a very rich, condensed food, and
in planning dishes in which 1t is used
the tat of other foods should be elm
mated:
Corn and Cheese Souf1e. ::
Into. a Tablespoonful Of melted but
ter turn two cups of grated cheese,
then add a fourth of q, cup Of fresh
grated corn, as the canned will do;
stir for moment and add two egg
yolks and half cup of tomato which
has been put through a sieve: add
a chopped red pepper. salt and pa
prika. Toast bread on one side, rub
the untoasted. side with the. cut side
Of a. Glove or garlic. Pour the cooked
mixture over the untoasted side OF
the bread, and serve at once.
Nut and Cheese Salad.
Cook together tablespoonful OF
grated onion with tablespoonful of
butter; add little water and cook
until the onion is tender. Mix we'll
a cupful each of bread crumbs, graf
ed cheese and nuts-walnuts, or any
kind desired. Add the cooked onion,
nloisten with more water If needed.
and put into a baking dish to brown.
CHEESE with macaroni as an .escaI-
loped dish is another very good way
of serving cheese. It Is also good
combined with rice. -.
When making a brown betty. use
cheese instead. of butter with the
bread crumbs. =

SEASONS COLOR IS YELLOW
SklIlfulIy Handled, as It Must Be, Il
Is Becoming to the Average
Wearer.

Yellow is much seen in these days
Last spring yellow was first extensive
ly used in lingerie. Ribbons of vel.
low were run into all sorts OF under
wear and negligees. Then yellow
and crepe de chine were used for the
making of rest robes and petticoats
and chemises and night gowns Vel
low waists of chiffon and crepe de
chine were next worn. And then eve
ming frocks and afternoon frocks OF
yellow appeared. There are even
some yellow tweed street suits. Vel
low Is usually becoming color, If it
is skillfully handled But there are
not many skins that are improved by
coming into direct contact with yell
low. This fact is now understood by
most dressmakers. In almost all the
gowns and blouses of yellow there is
a generous use OF cream of white
tulle at the throat There is usually
touch OF black somewhere on these
yellow garments. A little black vel
vet at the wrist or elbow or belt, or
a knot Of black in the drapery of the
skirt, gives character to the color that
might otherwise seem monotonous.

COOPERATION IN BIBLE TIMES

In common with many of the prophets of Bible
times, Ahijah, the who placed Jereboam over
the ten tribes of Israel, rural man, w. A.
Lippncott writes IN the Kansas Industrialst
Elijah who outwitted the brilliant and scheming
Queen JeZebel, went about preaching in his shep
herds manteI and carrying the shepherd staff,
though proud Of his country origin. OF Elisha
his successor, are told that at the time when
Elijah offered him a job as his helper he

is recorded would interpret to mean that he
was considered a skillful teamster
When Saul first comes to attention in the
Old Testament he was out on the range looking
for his fathers asses that had broken away from
the picket or escaped the wran2ler. Later We find
him coming after the herd out of the field David

The problems which confronted the people OF
the Old Testament and the questions involved in
current Legislation have just modern ring as
has the eminent and great. One of the problems
which they had solved and which we have not

the question of concentration in the owner

So far as can be learned, there were no isolated
farm houses where single families lived alone As
a general thing, a number Of more or less related
families united in forming a rural village. These
were not cities in any sense, nor even small towns
but little hamlets set in the midst of the fields and
hills. The country districts were dotted with
these tiny villages, and we find constant reference
TO them throughout the Old and New Testaments
Every morning the men went out to the fields to
work and at night they came back to the village
for shelter.
The reason for this gathering into villages was
that the farmers were under the necessity of CO.

THE Oriental influence is distinct
enough in this elaborate evening
gown in which one thin fabric after
another is draped over the silk foun-

yelled with chiffon. Six narrow

a border or tuck OF this fabric ex-
