PILE OF EMPTY RUSTY TIN CANS
Do They Foretell Future of a Young
Farmer and His Wife?

To my mind a farm is not a farm
unless it has a few dozen small fruit
trees to supplement the apples and
the peach orchards. No one side of
the big task of farming has been
more neglected in the last ten years
than that of growing enough small
fruits and berries for family use.

State, all parents, guardians, and

every parent, guardian or other per-
son having charge of any child be-
tween the ages of eight (S) and eigh-
teen (1S) years, shall send such child
to a public, private, or parochial
school for the entire school year
during which the public schools are
in session in such district; provided,
however: That this chapter shall not

SKIN MILK AS FOOD.
It's Nutritive Elements Underestimate
ed-Many Ways in Which IL
May be Used in Diet.

Skim milk is very economical
food material. In the opinion OF ex-
perts in the department, and might
well be more largely used as human
food-this in spite of the fact that 1t
is nine-tenths water. The argument
FOR economy is based on the price at
which II is usually sold and upon the
composition of the remaining tenth,
or the nutritive portion.
Whole milk, as everyone knows. is
an Indispensable food for the young.
and even In the diet of the adult II is
comparatively economical The only
nutrient taken from it in Swimming
Is the butter fat. There is left, there
fore. In the skim milk not only all
OF the sugar, which amounts to about
II parts in every 100, and all of the
mineral substances, but also all of
the protein. The last named sub
stance is important because, besides
serving as fuel for the body, as fats,
sugars and starches do, ii also sup
plies heterogeneous tissue-building ma
terial. The proportion of protein in
skim milk. as well as of the mineral
constituents, which are so valuable
for body building, is even greater
than in whole milk
Since the nutritive part Of skim
milk consists very largely of protein,
it is TO be classed as whole milk is
with such food materials as eggs,
meat, fish, poultry and cheese
(though It is much more delicate
than those foods) rather than with
such substances as sugar, which
serve only as fuel Two and a half
quarts of skim milk contain almost
as much protein and yield about the
same amount of energy as a pound OF
round of beef. When skim milk sells
for cents quart, or about cents
: a pound, and round of beef for 20
cents pound, dime. or any other
sum of money spent for skim milk
will provide nearly twice as much
nourishment as 1t will II spent fol-
round steak. Round of beef, OF
course, is one OF the lower-priced
meats. and when compared with the
more expensive cuts skim milk makes
a still better showing from the stand
point OF economy. The comparison
with oysters is very significant;
quart of oysters contains less thar
twice as much nourishment as
I quart OF skim milk. and yet 1t Otter
costs several times as much. Boil

afew modern touches which the accompany.
ing illustrations will demonstrate.
The couture, to my way of thinking, is
one Of the most important details for the
completion Of a general effect That one
should arrange her hair to conform to the
style of frock is my firm conviction. Note
how softly pretty our little miss in the upper
left hand corner has arranged hers. Instead
of parting her hair in the middle, which is
trying to some faces. sometimes giving the
impression Of age, she has brushed her hair
softly back from her forehead banded II
with two braids and crowned the whole with
three soft puffs. The little corkscrew curls
at the side add the necessary finishing touch
to an ideal modern 1870 couture"
Another very important detail which can
not possibly be dispensed with is what
call "the huffies," those intimate lacy things
that are so dear to the heart of every woman.
The days when a woman boosted Just
knickers" are past, and the fluffy, frilly pet
ticoat has come into its own again. And SO
glad are we to welcome 1t back with US that

dress OF wide black and mastic striped tat
feta. This has the little boned bodice in
this instance attached to the skirt The
sleeves and under bodice are Of silver lace
the flare Of the sleeve being finished with
three bands of fur. The skirt is gathered
at the hips and draped at the front A short
apron banded with fur lends a unique finish
to the whole.
These dresses are entirely and specially
attractive. There will be, / believe, more
than usual interest in them because they
illustrate a further development of fash
ion that was once the vogue, and no doubt
every woman will be anxious to see just how
every other woman will look In the new full
skirts. At the same time, women can get a
little idea how their dear old wrinked grand
mas looked when they were young and
giddy.
To digress for a moment from these par
ticular designs, | want to tell you OF cos

day. She was an almost boyishly slender
little lady, whose coat and skirt costume OF
black and white checked tweed was almost

Later, when 1 understood what the term

and. best Of all, they are here modified to
the needs and demands of the present day.
Do hear some one say that this modifca-

probably will, in the hands of those who

Re-Examination After Profes-

Annapolis, Maryland. - The en-
tire membership of the first and sec.
ond classes at the naval academy un,
derwent a re-examination in Spanish,
because the academy authorities sus-
pected that the questions prepared
for the test had been surreptiously
obtained and made use OF by some OF
the midshipmen.
The suspicious OF the officials were
aroused through indications that the
office of the head of the department
Of languages, where the questions
were kept. had been robbed.
The idea was strengthened after
the examination papers were gone
over by the professors and showed
that many backward Spanish stu
dents had developed an unexpiainable
familiarity with a subject which in
past months had been a stumbling
block to them. .

Chicago, Illinois Rain and light
ming, storms, floods and high winds,
which have swept over Kansas, west
ern Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas
and sections of Illinois and the cen
tal states generally, have caused the
loss Of at least IS lives and the de-
struction of an immense amount of
property. With the downpour ceasing
IN most of this widespread area. flood
conditions were serious and the sub
merged area was increasing In pro
portions.
Travel to the west out Of Kansas
City is seriously handicapped, and in
many cases trains have been an
nulled. Levees along the Arkansas
river continued to break with alarm
ing frequency along a wide reach Of
territory and the worst flood in its
history was Sweeping down the Ar
kansas valley.
To the south, Arkansas was per-
haps the worst sufferer. There many
streams were out of their banks and
reported rising. People living In low
lands along many streams were
forced to flee.
At North Platte, Neb., business has
been suspended because of flooded
streets. All along the Platte river
the water was the highest in years
and the crest was not yet in sight.
Flood warnings have been sent to
residents along the Des Moines river
and other streams in Iowa to be pre-
pared to leave on a moments notice
Throughout Illinois the rain Of the
past three or four days has broken

received from many places In the
