In tests of pure-bred dairy cows in New Zealand covering the three years, 1913, 1914 and 1915, testing certificates of record were issued .ov- ering All dairy cows, of which 262 were for Jerseys, 177 for Friesians, 30 for Ayrshires and two for Short horns. The highest record for Jerseys was for a four-year-ol being 12.095 pounds of milk, with 736 pounds of butterfat; with 20,629 pounds of milk and 756 pounds of butterfat for the best five-year-o Friesian COW; and l4,349 pounds of milk and 59l pounds of butterfat for four-year-old Ayr shire. The averages of the tested cows were about 5000 pounds of milk and 450 pounds of butterfat for Jer- seys, about 13,000 pounds of milk and 450 pounds of butterfat for Friesians and about 5000 pounds of milk and 40c pounds butterfat for Ayrshires.

have shown that a nation cannot rely upon its innocence. The lust of con- quest tramples under foot the just with the unjust.
 It may be burden to prepare to defend ourselves, but as long as l Europe and Japan are armed camps with millions of highly-trained sol Gie1s that can be ferried across the seas in few days, we must be ready to repel invasion.
 War is curse; but the preparation for war is a blessing. The constant drilling is the best of exercise. de- vcloping every muscle. Its reward s health and strength. The rigid dis- cipline brings self-control, which is the first essential of good citizenship. The knowledge that one is training to defend his fireside and his altars brings self-respect and seriousness of purpose. In short, military training is the best education for man ever ,n- vented, The purpose of male educa- tion Is to make a man, and the soldier is a man or he is nothing. If he only learns to walk erect it is worth all the trouble.
 l never knew a man to succeed who did not hold himself erect.
 A stopping gait betrays an attitude of mind fatal to success.
 l have often heard our people pity the people of Europe because they were forced to do military service. But that is just what our lawless un- disciplined youth need the most. In the United States there are annually '129 homicides to a million people, in Arkansas more than two hundred; in Germany only five. The Germans are no better than we, but their military training has taught them self-control and respect for the law. Skilled in the use of every weapon, they realize that these instruments of death should be reserved for the enemies of their country If our young men had two years of military training it would be the making of them. They would come out erect, self-respecting, aw-abiding, self-controlled, with t sense of duty highly developed. l. is the military training that has made modern Germany what it is; which has given it the military training that has enabled it to lead in the arts of peace as in the arts of war.
 But it is said that we do not wish to be like Germany, a menace to the universe. There is no danger. A democracy stands for peace. A con- flict of aggression is the rich mans war and the poor mans fight. The men who declare wars rarely expose themselves to danger. It is the kings and the emperors, it is the military missionaries, that long for war. It brings them glory, power and plUnd- CT. To the common citizen it i3 a nightmare of horrors. He wants to be left to his home and fireside, to his wife and his children. For him war means only poverty and suffering and the death of those who are dear est to his heart He accepts it only when it is forced upon him.
 What monarchy or military aris- tocracy would have borne with Mex leo as we have done? We have looked on for four years while she has mur- dered our citizens and destroyed our property within her borders, and only when she invades our own territory do we prepare for war.

WE MUST PREPARE.
By George B. Rose.

The desolation of Europe warns us that we must prepare. Protected by 5000 miles of ocean and with a popu- lation accustomed to bear arms, we used to consider ourselves safe. hundred years ago, when sailing ves- sells were used. no considerable body of troops could be carried so far, anc if they landed they would have been met by a nation armed with weapons equal to their own.
 Now all is changed A single great transport now in use can land th0us- ands of soldiers upon our shores with in week. All the great powers have merchant marines so extensive that an enormous army could be thrown against us almost without warning.
 Suppose this should occur, what would follow? The conditions of war fare have wholly changed since the Revolution, even since the Civil War. The embattled farmer with his rife virtually is defenseless against the engines of destruction now in use. If any considerable force should secure a foothold upon our shores, we should be almost at it's mercy. The courage of our citizen soldiery would only lead them to their death.
 We should like to have a fleet large enough to enable us to hold the seas against every conner. But modern battleships and cruisers are so ex- pensive that this would involve pro- hibitive cost Our coasts are so ex- tended that it is almost impossible to guard them. The enemy would know where he intended to strike. Ignorant of his intentions, we should have to have many fleets scattered all along our seaboard, each large enough to overcome his whole navy. A small country like England can do this. With us it is out of the question.
 We must have a fleet; but it is upon our army that we must rely. We must be ready to annihilate the enemy if he effects a landing.
 It is no longer possible to depend upon hurriedly drilled volunteer force. War has become so compli- cated; the instruments of destruction are now so terrible and so varied the means that have been devised of pro- tecting ones self against them are so ingesious, that preparation for war is now a matter for serious study and prolonged industry. Lord Kitchener dared not pit the flower of England g youth against the well-trained Ger mans until they had had six months of ceaseless drilling; and even now. whes the war has been in progress for two years, the English scarcely are prepared.
 The time when a conqueror could stamp his foot and call an army into being has passed forever. War has become complex science, requiring in it's officers an education as exacting as that of an astronomer or an elec- trical engineer, in the men training equal to that of accomplished artis- ans. To venture into the conflict without this preparation is to invite destruction. Before single German or French regiment provided with modern weapons and skilled in theiI use, an army of our best militia as now constituted would be but as dumb brutes led to the slaughter.
 We must prepare if We are to re tain our freedom. Events in Europe

A cold cream that suits one skin to
perfection will cause another misery.
The individual woman must settle the
thing herself, and II after trying sew
eral creams she finds nothing that
agrees with her complexion 1t is
pretty safe to assume that she has
not yet found the right unguent or is
using them all wrongly.
No species OF unguent must be put
upon the face until the skin has been
cleansed Of soil and softened by the
warm bath. In the daytime the face
can be cleansed occasionally with the
cream, but it is better to get used to
1t only at night, for where the face
skin is concerned there is such a
thing as using too much grease. In
the application of all unguents mas
sage is half the battle, SO the trick
many women have of dabbing on a
COB Of cream and smearing 1t lightly
over the face is all wrong. The lubri-
cant must be worked down into the
pores for the velvety softness desired
to come, and after they have absorbed
all that will be, remaining oilness
must be removed with soft cloth.
II this superduous quantity Of cream
Is left on the skin 1t only does harm.
The pores get so used to the drench-
ing that they won't act without 1t, and
all that lies on top only hardens or
gets rank under atmospheric changes.
Many species Of pimples and hard dry
skin may be attributed to an oyeruse
Of cold cream.
The manipulation must be done in
way to hinder or correct the lines
that come in the course Of time. The
beauty people use the three long fin
gers Of each hand, and with firm
gentle touch rub outward, in ro-
tary manner, over a place as big as a
silver half dollar. Bit by bit all the
face is gone over in this way, and
the patient can easily tell when the
important cheek muscles have been
touched by seeing the skin pull taut
about the mouth, thus effacing the
dropping lines at the side Of the nose

ners Of the mouth over the cheekbones

CHICAGO, Jan. 3-Late hours and
too frequent social activities, together
with business career, are among the
principal causes Of the many cases
of tuberculosis among young men and
women says DR.. Theodore Sachs
who directed the work Of "tubercu-
losis week" In Chicago.

ditions in factories, stores and Offices
he says. 1--WE legislate TO prevent long
hours OF labor. But what good does
IL do, II the individual wastes his
strength burning the candle at both
ends by dancing at night, or passing
every evening in stuiry, poorly ven
tilated rooms and halls?
eve all have the germs Of the dis
ease in our systems. Usually we have
been infected in childhood. But as
the child grows in strength the dis
ease Is arrested.
+. Danger Begins Early.
1.-THE most dangerous period begins
at 20, when the strain Of daily work
begins. The young person needs every
ounce OF energy he possesses to meet
the strain. II he wastes It, the de-
mand on his strength Is greater than
the supply; the body begins to break
down; the arrested disease becomes
active. and the person becomes con-
sumptive.

annual banquet in the dining room of
of the Waldo hotel Sunday evening.
The banquet table was beautifully
and lastly decorated, the color

was a brilliant one in all respects,
