PRACTICE COTTAGES.

Housekeeping cottages, in which the
students obtain actual practice in
household work, are a prominent fea-
ture of current progress in home eco
nomics, according to report issued

Monies departments in schools and
colleges are not all so fortunate as to
have residences in which to instruct in
home management and in house

fancy among school officers because
of the initial expense of a practice
house. But as it is recognized that
these houses are quite as necessary as
are good laboratories and that the
maintenance costs are not excessive,
more departments are being thus sup
piled. These houses offer opportuni-

economics is now a recognized course
of study in all agricultural colleges to
which women are admitted. Thirty

courses in home economics, and most
of the private and UNCONVENTIONAL col
leges and universities now offer SINH
lar instruction. So important has the
subject become in state public-schooI
systems during the past two or three
years that now practically every state
normal school has a course in home
economics for prospective school
teachers. Summer schools are coming
to play an especially important part in
home economics teaching. The bu-

done to materials of all kinds by their
habit of gnawing. They are rcspon-

of secreting inflammable materials

SPECIAL MILK.

In many cities there is a tendency
to grade milk and sell it to the con-
sumner upon it's merits, according to
bulletin issued by the federal de-
partment of agriculture. Such a sys-
tenn is most desirable, as it enables
dairymen who handle a high-grade
product to obtain recognition for their
care. 1t also enables the consumers
to choose their supply on the abso-
Lutte merits of the various grades
This is a sound commercial feature
and one that is already recognized in
nearly all other industries. The pur-
chaser of dry goods does not expect to
buy silk at the price of calico, and on
the other hand those who pay for silk
should expect to get a quality better
than calico. At the present time there
are on the market numerous brands of
special mills. The average consumer
has only a hazy idea as to what is
meant by special milk. but usually
considers it to be in some way super
ior to the ordinary milk sold. Some
milk dealers have considered that
milk a little richer in fat should con-
stitute special milk. while others have
adhered to the principle that such a
grade should be cleaner and safer than
the ordinary grades. 1t has happened
that dealers were unable to explain
satisfa ctorily to their customers the
difference between the ordinary grade
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-02-26

and The special Whenever such n
condition arises it is a serious setback
to the development of markets for a
legitimate grade of special milk. A
special milk may or may not be richer
in fat than ordinary grades, but it
certainly should be produced and han
died in such manner as to be cleaner
and safer than the ordinary grades
handled by the individual dealer or
by his competitors. In this way pub
lie confidence can be maintained and
an increased price warranted. Dairy
men are learning that it is good bust
ness to stand squarely behind their
goods and to see that all claims are
fully substantiated. If a special milk
is to be sold as such its standard
should be high and permanent, so as
to result in increased confidence and
increased demand from consumers.
There is hardly any better way to
create a demand than to produce and
maintain a nigh grade, and if this
grade is to be termed Special" it
should by all means be as safe as pos
sible, from a health point of view, and
not mere trade name. Business de-
Ponds upon the demand, demand de-
ponds on quality, and quality on the
inclination of the man behind and the
standard he wishes to set for his prod
uct. If special milk is to be included.
it must be his best effort along his
chosen line of endeavor, and to this
end every milk dealer should be able
and willing to set and maintain high
standard. At present in most cities
only a very small quantity of special
milk is handled, although it seems
that the trade demands should war
rant the sale of a great deal more.

You must not think that because
Jimmy Graytail, the pretty little park
squirrel, was fore-handed enough to
lay in nuts a-plenty for the winter,
that all he had to do the whole winter
long was to eat the nuts his thrift had
provided. For that is not the case.
You see it takes a lot of nuts to
keep a busy little squirrel well fed
through a whole winter Jimmy ate
from his store only on the bad stormy
days. On the days that were bright
and pleasant, he found his food on
the ground or in the tree-tops. More
in the tree-tops than on the ground,
to tell the truth, for in the autumn
the park was cleaned up so beautifully
that hardly nut or an acorn was left
on the ground to tell the story of the
summers plenty. And certainly there
was not a speck of popcorn or a single
peanut left around for a squirrel to
find.
The squirrels who live in the woods
can find plenty of food under the
trees when the snow melts away. but
the park squirrels are not so fortu-
nate. on the other nand, though,
the woods squirrels have not so many
children friends who bring them
goodies when the weather permits, so
likely each fares about the same in
his own way
But there was some food that even
the faithful cleaners could not take
away. They could not touch the nuts
and acorns which still hung on the
treesi And Jimmy could get them
just as easy as could be, When the
weather was fine, he would race down
his home tree, scurry over to a near
by beech and run up and nibble at the
nuts which still hung IN place.
Unfortunately for Jimmy, others
liked the beech-nuts too and counted
on them for winter food. And who
do you suppose those others were?
The woodpeckersi
one particularly determined wood
pecker, his name was Mr.. Red Head
W0odpecker, felt that every nut in the
park was his special property.

THE SUBMARINE CONTROVERSY.

President Wilson's position in the
present phase of the submarine con-
troversy appears to be the only tena-
BILE one. To warn the citizens of this
country off merchant vessels carrying
armament for their defense would be
to give up rights that are guaranteed
to all nations and their citizens by in
ternational law, as he insists And If
the United States gives up these rights
at what is practically the behest of
Germany, this country would not be
in a position to fight automatically
for any other rights accorded to ma
tons under international law that any
of the European belligerents might see
fit to ignore. The whole fabric of in
ternational law, therefore, would be-
come a dead letter There is consid
cradle force, it is true, to Germany's
argument that the armament permit
ted by international law on merchant
men for purely defensive purposes is
now in fact an armament of sufficient
power for offensive purposes against
submarines if there were a disposition
so to use it; and that the changed con-
ditions which the submarine has
wrought in the naval warfare against
enemy merchant SnlpS DEMAND an
abrogation of the provisions of inter
national law that permits the latter to
carry guns. But in fairness to all par
ties to the war, including the neutrals,
this is only another instance where the
rules of the war game or international
law cannot rightfully be changed
while the war is in progress unless all
the nations bound by international law
agree to the change. 1t is not for
Germany to annul this feature of in
ternational law of it's own volition, nor
for the United States to accept the
German view. no matter how reason
able it may appear on its face. If
such a course were followed it opens
the door wide for every other nation
involved in the war to insist that other
conditions have been so changed by
it, and such new and unusual situa-
tons developed, as to warrant the
disregarding of other important fea-
lures of international law as it is con-
stituted at present.

Household Hints
Things Worth Knowing.


Ice Cream German style)-
Sponge cake cut in half-inch layers.
Spread each layer and the top with
vanilla ice cream. Top with whip
ped cream and chopped nuts, fruit or
macarOon crumbs.
Care of Shoes-If the cloth tops of
your shoes have turned gray they
can be made to look like new by
cleaning with stiff brush dipped in
gasoline.
Serve guests at your table from the
left. When brushing crumbs from
cloth between courses, stand at the
left of the guest. Do not fold your
napkin unless you expect to eat an
other meal at the same table.
1t is economy at Christmas time to
make all ones gifts the same color
then little odds and ends may be COM
bined and every scrap used.
Care of Garbage Can.-If rock salt
is thrown in bottom of can and news
paper put in, garbage will not stick
in the winter and the man will not
have to jab holes in can to loosen the
contents. If an old stocking is fold
ed over handle the top will be easier
to take off in cold weather.
