edge of the attending physician, and

Whipping Cream Should be Cold.
The above suggestions on the care
of milk are equally applicable to
cream. Often the housewife finds that
the cream she has will not whip. The
department dairy specialists point out
that to obtain satisfactory results in
whipping cream it should be cold and
of the right thickness, containing
about 80 per cent or more of butter
fat. Ordinary cream, designated as
coffee cream by the trade, is altogeth-
er too thin to give good results. The
whipping cream, as delivered by the
milkman, contains 80 to 40 per cent
of butterfat. Thoroughly chill thS
cream before whipping by placing ~
in covered bowl on the ice. The
whipping process is also aided and
FASTENED by standing the bowl in a
pan of ice water.

peal to mems reason can the Good
Roads Movement succeed.
Ninety per cent of travel is between
towns and between cities.
Mr.. Manufacturer, Merchant and
Professional Man, you should take a
hand in helping to create strong and
powerful sentiment for good roads in
Michigan.
Congress must set a definite plan
for a national solution of the road
problem under Federal auspices, and
Congress cannot postpone action
much longer.
The advent of the automobile has
done much to improve road conditions
and not only made road enthusiasts
out of knockers, but has acquainted
the city folk with the conditions and
the surroundings of rural folk.
Don't worry relative to what be-

be given by a state organization. Put
your shoulders to the wheel and help.
Don't lag behind waiting for the other
fellow to start; the other fellow might

Your work in the road movement
must be in earnest, jealous and un-

This is an age of progress in the
United States in every sense, and the
progressive movement should include
within it's scope the improvement of
every important road in the country.
The improvement of raw highways
is always followed by the improve
ment of all things which mean better
road conditions: We must have cheap

Spiders are considered natural ba-
rometers and seem to have an instinct
for coming atmospheric changes. This
is not unnatural, however, since they
were created with an eye to business
and ability to meet all requirements
of the elements. Before the coming
of strong winds or heavy rains, spid-
ers will shorten their webs and rein
force them. In fact, every twenty
four hours, changes may be noticed in
the spiders web as he meets the re-
quirements for the day.
Fair and fine weather may be ex-
pected when the spider spins long,
slender filaments on his web. His
greater activity may also be taken as
the forerunner of nice weather. If he
lies quiet in the center Of the web,
rain may be expected and also when
spiders come more plentifully from
out of crevices and holes in the wall.

Ben Breaks the Whips.

Sitting on stump in a pasture field
just outside the village, Ben basked
in the sunshine of early spring.
Drawing his knees up under his chin
he listened to the calls of the robbins.
He had heard his mother talking of
the great war going on across the
seas, and with her felt sorry for the
poor men who had to give their lives
in battle, and for the poor crippled
soldiers being taken to the rear, jolted
and Jared in the rough carts. He
also heard how boy had proved a
hero.
Ben wished he was that boy and
could carry sword, or better yet,
ride big horse into the smoke and
roar of battle. He was startled out
of his day dream by great shadow
which fitted across the meadow.
Looking up he saw what he thought
was a great big bird slowly circling
in the sky, coming gradually lower
and lower until it was so close Ben
could see it was a flying machine.
Watching it he was surprised to see
it settle slowly and gently to the
meadow. A man got out and came
toward him.

stranger with pleasant smile. 81

With the advent of warm weather
the care of milk in the home becomes
more complex than during the late
autumn and winter. Heat to the ex
tent accumulated by allowing milk to
stand on a warm porch or in the sun
is enough to start the bacteria in milk
to multiplying at rapid rate and
thus make it unfit for use as sweet
milk, according to the dairy special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture. The hot days also
bring the flies, the great germ car
riers, and the clouds of dust laden
with bacteria, which, when coming to
rest on milk receptacles, may easily
contaminate the milk.
Milk is regarded as a natural cul-
ture medium for bacteria, and the
rapidity with which the various forms
will multiply, under the proper tenn
peratures, is astonishing. 1t has been
shown that if cubic centimeter
(about y teaspoonfuD of milk con-
tanning 10 bacteria is kept at 68 de-
grees temperature for "a hours, the
bacteria will have multiplied into
about $1,000. In the same milk, if
held at so degrees, the growth of bac-
terra would be very small, possibly
as low as 40 in "a hours. Milk which
contains a large number of bacteria
is either not fresh or has come from
"a diseased cow or has otherwise been
contaminated.
Flies are possibly the most danger
Gus bacteria carriers which are likely
to come in contact with milk. These
scavengers may convey the germs of
typhoid fever or other contagious dis
eases from the sick room or excreta
to the milk. Typhoid epidemics have
been caused by flies spreading the
germs. Milk should be guarded from
flies as vigorously as you would avoid
exposure to disease.
Cows are now out on pasture, and
milk is more easily produced under
sanitary conditions than during the
winter months when the cows are
stabbed continuously. Milk may be
handled by the farmer in the most
correct and sanitary methods known,
and yet if it is not cooled Immediately
after milking and kept cool until con-
sumed, it very soon begins to change
and grow sour. In fact, the bacterial
content increases rapidly as long as
the milk remains above so degrees
Fahrenheit. The bacteria are dor
mant or increase slowly at lower
temperature. For this reason, every
precaution for keeping milk cold from
the time it is produced until it reaches
the consumer is essential, and espe-
cially so during the warm weather.
Milk may absorb impurities when
ever it is exposed to the air, or placed
in unclean vessels. The amount OF
degree of contamination depends or
the cleanliness of the air and of the
utensil. Even the air of so-callec
clean room contains some impurities

Care of Milk Bottles and Utensils.
Milk bottles are made for milk and
not to hold sundry other foods. AS
soon as the milk bottle is empty, it
should be rinsed with lukewarm water
until it is clean, and then set bottom
side-up to drain. Bottles should never
be returned in a dirty or filthy con-
dition. All utensils with which milk
comes in contact should be rinsed,
washed and scalded every time they
are used. When cleaning these uten-
sils, do not wash them in dish water
or wipe with ordinary dish towels.
First rinse them and then boil in clear
water and set away unwiped. If the
receptacles are hot, they will soon be-
come dry without wiping.
When a baby is bottle-fed, every
time the feeding bottle and nipple are
used they should be rinsed in luke
warm water, washed in hot water to
which a small amount of washing
soda has been added, and then scalded.
Never use a rubber tube between the
bottle and nipple.

WASH fR0CKS HAVE THEIR DAY; YO|LE E THE ALL-P0PULAR FABRIC

 NEW TORN, July 29.-Wash frocks are not what they used to be. Indeed. you have to rub your eyes and look twice to believe such altogether smart garments were ever intende dto touch the water. The nets, the voiles, the Swisses, and even the linens, have that mysterious something called chic in their makeup that gives them entree wherever the one-piece silk dress may go.
 Skirts Overlap Waists and Vice Versa
 The treatment of the waistline is one of the most important features of the frocks that the big stores are now showing us. Invariably, the skirt comes up and finishes with heading at the girdle, or the waist extends into a peplum and covers the skirt. This overlapping of waist and skirt offers a welcome relief from more pro- nounced joinings and is in itself trimming for the dress.

 The Popularity of VoiIe
 It has been said, and with truth, that this is a voile season. As in silk, tai feta is the favored weave, so in wash materials voile predominates. The loose, cross mesh lends itself readily to the quaint styles of the 1915 season. Whole windows of the large stores are given up to frocks of voile; the avenue throngs with people who wear it, and the lesser stores on the side streets contribute their share to it's popularity in exclusive models for a chosen few of New York's select society.
 One model of unusual merit is sym phony in pink and white, standing on the spacious third floor of an avenue oIOA hO pAuh 10 O OOl1CdLO OdllIlOA shade, printed in bars and embroidered in big coin dots in every fourth square This material is used for the waist cut surplice fashion, and for the skirt that comes up over the waist with a head ing, while the collar and cuffs are white voile, and edged with a pleating of the pink and white.
 Pockets a Feature in Misses Skirts
 If misses skirts are properly pock- eted, they are smart this season. h. deed, pockets in their newly-found pop ularity have outgrown skirts and ex- tend into straps on the belts and even into suspenders on the blouse. They are real pockets, conveniently placed squarely over the hip, that a girl can put her hands into and swagger down the street like her big brother-pock- cts that are big enough to hold the knicknacks of the handbag, and last, but not least important, pretty enough in shape to trim the skirt.
 They appear on the rough-and-ready skirt of linen, washable corduroy and cotton gabardine. There are some models in soft blue and rose linens, with suspender pockets; sports skirts of corduroy have pockets that button over the belt-big, rooms af- fairs-at the sides that will be the pride and joy of some girls life.
 Pipings for Linens
 One of the smartest ways of finish ing the linen skirts is with pipings. A store that makes a speciality of junior dresses is featuring rose linen piped in white. The skirt is made with the large patch pockets at the side that ex- tend into suspenders, on the waist. The skirt, suspenders, pockets and cuffs are of rose linen, while the waist is white Swiss. The pocket is outlined with a piping of white that accentuates it's shape and adds to the style.
