Coverinu Cream Cans.

A great part of the value of keeping cream cool on the farm and at the station or creamery is lost if the cream is exposed to the direct rays of the sun while being hauled from the farm to the point of sale. Far toe few people stop to realize the impor tance of covering their cream cans when bringing them in to town. Ex pensive jacketed cans are not a neces sity to keep the cream cool. In sum mer weather just an ordinary piece of wet burlap thrown over the cans will keep the temperature of the cream as much as 20 degrees below what il would rise to if left uncovered while being transported over the average hauling distance

FIXED IT IN HER MEMORY
Ingenious Method by Which Lawrence Hutton Cured Waitress of Her
 Expenditures.

The late Lawrence Hutton used to say that having to take a little trou- ble would impress a fact on anyone s memory so that he would never be able to forget it. In illustration he would tell this story:
 Our waitress, Maggie, could never remember to put the salt on the table, and time after time Mrs. Hutton would remind her to do it. One morning it was absent, as u~ual, and l said: Mag gie, where is the stepladder"
 It's in the pantry, sir
 Please bring it in, Maggie l said kindly
 Maggie brought it in with look of wonder on her face.
 Put it right beside the table, commanded; and when she had done so l added: Now, want you to climb up to the top of 1t, look all over the table and see if there is any salt there
 Maggie never forgot the salt again. Youths Companion

Would Outlaw Canoes,

Burning of the canoes at Camp Tek- akwitha is a good example. The use of these extremely frail, unstable and therefore dangerous craft should be everywhere restricted to expert swim mers Any others who go out in them risk their lives, since the least in cautious movement is likely to cause an upset even when the water is quiet.
 While canoes may still be used by those who are fitted and ready at any moment to swim ashore. it would be better if they were put out of use al together. There is always the dan ger. as long as they are kept at hand
 that boys who cannot swim may seize an opportunity to venture out in them.
 They serve no purpose that is worth while. An expert may derive some pleasure from padding canoe about, but to persons who want to enjoy a ride upon the water they offer neither security nor comfort.-Albany Journal

Calomel makes you sick; you lose a days work. Calomel is quicksilver and it salivates; calomel injures your liver.
 If you are bilious, feel lazy, sluggish and all knocked out, if your bowels are constipated and your head aches or stomach is sour, just take a spoon full of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone instead of using sickening, salivating calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver medicine. You'll know it next morning because you will wake up feeling fine, your liver will be work ing, your headache and dizziness gone, your stomach will be sweet and your bowels regular. You will feel like working. You'll be cheerful; full Of vigor and ambition.

Washing ngton.-Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, returned to Washington to initiate informal dis eussion with the American govern ment supplementary to the note from the Berlin Foreign Office regarding the sinking of the Arabic, with the hope of paving the way for formal ne- gotiations for adjustment of the sitn- ation growing out of the loss of Amer lean lives in the tragedy.
 The ambassador is optimistic in spite of the growing serious concern here over the state of relations be- tween the United States and the Ger manic allies, following the receipt of a disappointing note from Germany on the Arabic and the request from the recall of Ambassador Dumba of Austria. It Is held in German circles the Arabic note, with its reiteration of the announcement that submarines are under orders not to sink peaceful liners without warning, Is iE ascord with assurances already given the ONfhtC DOpoi IAlIVlil anu '6 felt that an agreement can be reached for arbitration of the question of re- paration.
 President Wilson and Secretary Lansing are considering the testimony of survivors of the Arabic, all tending to show the Arabic was torpedoed without warning while preceding peacefully on the high seas.
