LLOYD GEORGE
SHIFTS CABINET
Army and Navy Will Not
Be Represented On
War Council
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER
by Cable 10 The Tribunel

London, Dec. 9.-Though David Lloyd
George completed most Of his work in
forming the Cabinet yesterday. he was
busy all to-day making readjustments
and alterations, due 70 eleventh-hour
refusals of certain men whom he had
expected to serve under him gladly.
Some Of the new ministers. though not
sworn in, were at their desks early this
morning, plunging into the work where
their predecessors had left off.
All observers agree that the War
Council will be composed Of Premier
Lloyd George, Andrew Bonar Law,
Chancellor of the E1chequer; Lord Mil
ner, minister without portfolio; Lord
Curzon, president Of the Council, and
Arthur Henderson, Secretary for Labor.
The striking feature Of this arrange
ment is the absence Of representatives
of the army, navy and the Department
Of Foreign Affairs, which the Earl Of
Derby. Sir Edward Carson and Arthur
]. Balfour are, respectively, expected
10 head.
The War Council will be the real
Cabinet, while the other ministers will
correspond TO department heads of a
business organization.

Milk in City
Promised by Dillon

Investigation of the methods OF the
Mercantile Exchange and the opening
of a cooperative milk project in the
city. whereby New Workers may obtain
milk two cents cheaper than the
present price per quart, were promised
Yesterday by John J. Dillon, State
Commissioner of Foods and Markets.
He returned from Utica during the
morning with the announcement that
nlans were practically completed
whereby the Dairymen's League would
supply milk to consumers at cents

plan for bringing about an investiga-
tion of the methods of the Mercantile
Exchange, with which he has had sew
eral spirited brushes in his efforts TO
reduce food prices. lie said he would
announce it by the first of the week.
In a letter, in reply 20 one from
Harry Dowie, president Of the New
York Butter and Egg Exchange, Mr..
Dillon called attention 10 the fact that
no dealer is permitted TO trade in the
open markets in Paris until IL has
been established that his character Is
without a blemish.
"Is il not true that several promi-
nent members Of your exchange have
been accused OF deception and fraud,
thst they have pleaded guilty and that
they have been fined from $4,000 20
$4,000 each7" Mr.. Dillon asked.

producers of foodstuffs, will be ex-
amined.
Frank W. Swacker. special assistant
to the Attorney General in the govern
ment's prosecution Of the New Haven
case, will have charge of the grand

probably will start the inquiry early
next week. The inquiry at Detroit prob

Because of the press of other busl-
ness to-day President Wilson did not see
George W. Anderson, Of Boston, the
United States Attorney in charge Of the
investigation. Mr.. Anderson probably
will call at the White House Monday
before his departure late that day for
Chicago. The President is continuing
his study OF reports OF the lnNesIlgd-
ton.
Warning to Housewives
Mr.. Anderson tonight requested the
eo0peration Of housekeepers in his
work. to the extent that they refrain
from purchasing. SO far as possible,
articles of food that have reached the
highest peaks in the new high level
of prices, and substitute cheaper com
modities. A reduction in the amount
of the highest priced commodities
bought BY the nations housewives, 1t
was pointed out, even if small in indi-
vidual cases, would make an aggregate
slump in the demand which could not
fail to bring prices tumbling IN the
articles affected.
In addition, it was pointed out that
what is termed the great American
habit Of wastefulness, il intelllgently
checked. would result in reduction OF
the demand and lower level OF prices.

son said "need an eleventh command

REASONS FOR CREAM
THAT WON'T CHURN
Sometimes Due to Bacteria That
Get Into Milk Utensils
Cause of Tainted Milk.

There is no satisfactory explanation
that always holds good for cream that
foams up and makes about twice its
former bulk and is finally thrown away
in disgust after the housewife has
churned it for hours without the
slightest sign of butter. Sometimes
it is due to certain bacteria that may
get into the milk utensils or into the
cream.
More often it is some organic Pc
culiarity of the COW herself and mani
tests itself usually after the first half
of the tactical period. Where the COW
has freshened again the trouble may
never reappear or it may become
chronic, in which case the COW should
be sold
Tainted milk is often traced to feed
or some kind of weeds or grass the
cow is eating and sometimes to fla
vors and odors absorbed from the air
at milking time or in the milkhouse or
cellar. The exact cause of these
things is impossible to determine at
a distance and sometimes skilled OBJ
server right on the ground can't
find it.

DEATH OF CHICKENS
LAID TO ROSE BUGS
Expert of Connecticut Station
ACcumuIateS Data to JUS
tify Accusation.

The New Jersey station advises that
for many years rose bugs have been
accused of causing the death of chick
ems by poisoning. Recently G. III. Lam
son of the Connecticut station has ac-
cumulated data to show this accusa-
tion is justified. Mr.. Lamson used at
least $50 chickens of various ages in
his experiments. He fed these birds
either with the rose bugs or with an
extract prepared by soaking their
crushed bodies in distilled water. 1t
was found that from. Is to 20 rose
bugs were sufficient to kill chicken
one week old, that % to 40 killed the
three-weeks-old birds, and that the ten
weeks-old specimens were rarely de-
stroyed by the maximum number they
would consume. 1t was also found
that small chickens died within q few
hours after being fed on the extract.
Older chickens of greater weight, when
fed small quantity of the extract,
lived but showed signs of poisoning.
Larger doses resulted in their death.

BUY BEST GRADE OF
OIL FOR MACHINERY
Lubricant tor Gas Tractor Must
Have Sufficient "Body" to
Withstand Friction.

(By d. B. STEFFINS, Engineering De-
partment of South Dakota State Col
lege.)
Use the best grade of gas engine
cylinder oil obtainable in the gas
tractor. The oil must have sufficient
body" to withstand the friction and
high temperature of the cylinder and
piston. 1t must also be an oil that
when burned will deposit the least
possible amount of carbon. Oil that
works while the engine burns gasoline
will not always give satisfactory re-
suits when using Kerosene or some
less volatile fuel due to the higher
temperature of the piston and cylinder
walls. Wien using Kerosene as a fuel,
a very high fire-test lubricating oil
should be used. Never use steam CYL
inder or ordinary machine oil in cyl
inder fabrication. as IL will burn and
cause the engine to lose power.
