OLD FASHIONED KITCHENS
BAD FOR
Proper Arrangement of Utensils
and Furniture will Save
Many Useless Steps.

To walk 1000 miles in one
year would seem an impossible
task to most women if they were
confronted with the proposition,
yet, according to reliable figures,
that is the distance which per-
haps the majority of women
cover in performing their ordin-
airy household tasks. The maj
ority of these steps are taken in
the kitchen where proper work
tools and a good arrangement of
the same would eliminate much
of this useless walking.
Women are prone to use any
sort of a makeshift in the kitch-
en-, not choosing the furnish
ings and tools which will make
it possible for them to carry on
the various household tasks with
the least waste of time, work and
materials. Many a woman has
only one sauce pan and must
cook one food, empty and clean

steps do not recross each other.
Tables, stools and all working
surfaces should be high enough
leverage thirty-two inches) to
climate STOPPING and conse-
.quent tired backs.
Cooking utensils should be
placed on shelves above the work
table or hung in places where
the fewest steps possible may
reach them.
The old-fashioned, all-purpose
roomy kitchen with its walls cut
up with poorly placed doors and
windows should give way to
smaller, compact, well arranged
and properly equipped kitchen
used only for the preparation
and cooking of food.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1916-03-31

the pan and then put another
food on to cook. And perhaps
this one pan when not in use is
kept in the most distant corner
of the closet.
If a woman does not plan care
fully the buying of her kitchen
equipment, she will find herself
getting things which, though
useful, are not the most useful
or are not the best adapted to
her particular needs. She must
often steel herself against the
lure of bargain counters, not be-
cause the wares they offer are
not good or cheap, but because
in spite of being good or cheap
they may not be what she really
needs most. IF ten cents is
spent, it should be spent wisely

extension department Of the
University of Missouri.

MANY PERSONS POISONED
BY POWDERS
Tremendous Sale Leads 10 Large
Number of Cases of Drug
Habit, Poisoning and Death

Number of Cases of Drug
Habit, Poisoning and Death
Headache powders hive a ire
mendous sale throughout the
United States. They are taken
almost entirely without the adj
vice of a physician, being freely
advertised in street cars and
other public places and sold with
out hindrance at the average
drug store.
Almost all headache powders
contain one of three or four coal
tar products, such as acentanilid,
antipyrin and phenacetin, ac-
cording to DR.. M. P. Ravenel of
the department of preventative
medicine of the University of
Missouri. While these vary
somewhat in their poisonous
properties, all of them produce
similar effects in over-doses or
when taken over a long period of
time. They generally affect the
heart and circulation, and per-
haps the most common symptom
of poisoning by these drugs is
blueness of the skin, affecting
first the lips and mouth, the nails
and finger tips, if taken in lar
ger doses the skin of the whole
body. It is caused by destruc-
tive changes in the blood which
are serious and are aways fol-
lowed sooner or later by pallor,
shortness of breath, palpitation
of the heart, muscular weakness
and disinclination to exertion.
Up to the end of 1907 there
were 800 cases of poisoning with
&c deaths recorded, due to these
drugs. Inquiries made by the
Department of Agriculture of
the United States obtained from
400 physicians the records of
814 additional cases of poisoning
with 20 deaths. In addition to
this many people acquire the
habit, the greatest number of
these being due to acetanlid, so
that up to the end of 1908 we
had already collected 1863 cases
of poisoning with So deaths, and
1863 cases of drug habit. These
inquiries also showed that in a
great majority of cases the rem
edy was taken for headache. This
is especially true Of acetanilid.
We have also the records of a
number of cases of poisoning in
which acetanilid had been used
as a local remedy or dressing
for cases of burns and other in
juries.
The worst feature of this
whole business is that the adj
vertisements almost invariably
claim hat these headache rem
edies are free from danger, and
the unsuspecting person takes
them without suspicion of the
risk he is running.
The lesson is a plain one. The
sale of these drugs should be
restricted by law, and until this
is brought about, persons should
not take this class of drugs ex-
cept on the advice and under the
guidance of a competent physi-
clan. The old adage should be
remembered that "he who treats
himself has a fool for a physi-
c;op ond o fool foy n no+;ar+

Patriotism or Poltroonery.

II there is truth in the published reports hat
President Wilson is soon to start on a tour of
the country for the purpose Of appealing to fhe
patriotism of the people for support OF the Amer
can policy Of preparedness to protect the natioas
honor and rights against foreign foe and that
he is to be followed by band of paci6sts heaf
ed by Bryan preaching the doctrine df
peace-at-any-p struggle for the nonins ion
at St. Louis next june is, about to begin. Aneri-
cans who have desire to be bound h8.d and
foot and delivered over to the enemy !, rejoiee
il the President, instead OF remainiii passiee
while his political foe makes war uBsa him
which unhappily has been the policy 3 the admin
istration toward the country's Teutouie has
decided to deliver blow for blow, to force tb nan
who began his subterranesn campsign fer the
Presidents overthrow with God bless yog' out
into the open, where the fighting may be fair.
With President Wilson convinced OF Bryans
treachery, most other persons are eouvreed, and
setting about earnestly to combat him there can
be little doubt about whose will be tie triumph
at St. Louis. If the issue is to be patriotism or
potroonery the choice of the Ameriean people is
already made. Those who ouId betray their
country OF glorious traditions and achievements
in arms are making great noise. but there are
not many Of them, and the govern nent will not
be placed in their hands in this generation.
But the first object OF the Presidents tour is
said to be to convince the masses OF the people
that if their country is to live and take its rghtful
place among the great nations of the earth it
must have army and navy strong enough to
give meaning to the words of its statesmen. And,
the people convinced, he will look to them to send
the words to Washington that will galvanize their
spineless representatives who are ready to yield
TO Bryan, as Bryan is ready to yield his countrys
honor to the first armed aggressor who sets foot
upon our shores.
No one will doubt that President Wilson can
do this. The country has no more earnest or con-
vncing advocate Of a cause and here his cause
is just and great Should the crusade for prepared
ness lead to a victory for American ideals and the
political annihilation of the man who for months
has been plotting to wrest from the President the
denomination which his party owes him. true
Americans, without regard to party, will rejoice
with him in the double achievement.

Increase in Desertions.

The records of the War Department
show a slight increase in desertions in
the army. During the last fiscal year
the Eumber OF desertions aggregated
T.. i55. which Is 3.23 percent OF the whole
number OF enlistment contracts in force
during the year as compared with S.l0
for 1914. The increase in the number
of desertions is natural. because the num-
Der of enlistment contracts in force was
1901 greater than the number during
1914.
The regiments serving in the United
States that had the lowest percentages
of desertions during the year were the
10th cavalry, 9th cavalry. and Ith in
fantry, the cavalry regiments being col
ored and the infantry regiment white
organization The desertion from those
regiments were Ill. 49,. and LIS per cent.
respectively, of the whole number of en-
listed men in the service. or enlistment
contracts in force IN those regiments
during the year.
The 10th cavalry was one Of the two
regiments having the lowest percents ge
of desertions during the years 1910 1911.
1915. 1918, and 1914. the percentages for
those years being 1.52. 0.7S. l.62. 1.9e. and
AZ respectively The 9th cavalry was
one OF the two regiments having the low
est percentage Of desertions during the
years 1918 and 1914, the percentages be-
ing 2-S and l4e.
The 1th infantry was mentioned in the
last annual report as one OF the three
regiments. having the lowest percentage
of desertions. the percentage being Les.
AS was the case during the preceding
year. the Sd field artillery had the lowest
percentage of desertions OF any regiment
of that arm serving in the United States.
the percentage of desertion from that
regiment being 4. for the year 1915 and
