Tor milking purposes is much less ex-
pensive than breeding and feeding
beef cattle. A beef animal is of tenn

ducing COW is an almost continuous
producer for eight or ten years.
The recent rise in the price or
bread in some sections, due to the
higher cost of wheat, led scientists Of
the L. S. Department of Agriculture
to suggest that the ordinary house
hold will find il advantageous to cat
more potatoes and less bread" They
have computed that on the basis Of
potatoes at sixty cents a bushel, ten
cents worth of potatoes would give
the consumer more actual nOurish-
ment than two one-pound loaves Of
bread at five cents each.
o. H. Bepson, of that department,
says:
The American people live largely
upon diet made up something as
follows: Meat, coffee. bread. butter.

liberal dose of patent medicines. while
out in the back yards and orchards
are millions of bushels of healthy
vegetables and fruits, rotting for

this surplus"
Buying provisions in quantities is
often urged as true economy. al

Many people, however. cannot save
by buying in large quantities because
their incomes are small or uncertain.

Planning Meals For
Busy Days
BY MARY JANE MCCLURE

Moving and house cleaning days
are no longer the dreaded times
that try the souls Of all members
of the family. The home, under
modern management. is never en-
tirelv dismantled during this period
and most important, the meals
never haphazard.
In these days when educated en-
deavor and success are synOny-
nous in all branches of activity.
the progressive housewife realizes
the advantage of embracing
carefully thought out working plan
as her fundamental basis. With
such a foundation. the home man
ager carries on her work with
poise and at a minimum of nervous
waste.
One thing is unalterable, even
during the busiest season-the fam
ily must eat three times day and
then there will probably be the
added responsibility of extra help to
be fed. What a mountain off ones
shoulders to have the meals for the
busy cleaning season all planned
and practically prepared! No stop
ping in the midst of experimenting
an important piece of decorating
or cleaning to mentally gasp
"What shall have for lunch and
extra help here, too"
There is also a desire at this time
of extra expense for decorating,
etc, TO econOmize in other ways.
To skimp in cooking and table SER
vice is not real saving. True econ
omy lies in the adoption Of the
modern. progressive method of
buying in quantities.
A baker ham is an excellent
foundation for a schedule of busy
day meals. It will keep several
days and is delicious to the last
piece. Hams of excellent quality
are advertised in this paper and the
following recipes will be found de-
licio and economical.
A case of grape juice on hand
during the busy season is a Won
derful help and comfort. A glass
of it will put new life into yourself
and assistants when taken as a re-
freshing drink and tonic in the
midst of trying forenoon's OF
afternoons work. II is also an OK
cellent and healthful substitute for
tea or coffee as beverage at
meals. Grape Juice Dessert will
be found one of the quickest to pre-
pare and best desserts.

The great Russian stronghold of

the Germans; many thousand pris-

Sedan is not accomplished; the

Russia do not decide campaigns.
The army in the field, mobile, free
to stand and then fall back, is the
real asset; and while Russian losses
in the aggregate have been great,
so also have been German, and it is
to be doubted whether Germany has
gained enough to warrant the sac
rifces she has made. Her position
becomes, with every futile success
like this, more difficult, more exas-

THAT "ONE.DAY" STRIKE

Congratulations are due to the
clever ladies of the votes-for- women
movement on the success of their
propaganda for a one-day strike. 1t
has drawn for the cause an exceed
ing choice contribution of publicity;
and what is possibly quite as graft
flying to the ladies who formulated
the idea, it has hoaxed long row
of serious-minded gentlemen of the
press and some others. There has
been everything from persiflage to
orotund denunciation; from plead
ings with the .good women not to
ruin their cause to the invocation by
at least one editorial writer of the
antitrust act and the conspiracy
statutes.
For a performance that never was
going to happen, and whose in
ventors never had an idea of trying
to make it happen, the one-day
strike of the suffrage campaign
management has been the biggest
