WHEN THE cow IS LIABILITY
According to Survey Of Agricultural
Department Animal Must Produce
$50 Every Year.

Farm surveys conducted by the de-
partment indicate that In eastern
Pennsylvania the cow which yields less
than about $50 per year is liability

cows the less the profits of the farm
business.

It is a mistake to construct small

Saws the Cook,

II you want the best pie crust, says
the cook, it should be made the day
before you wish to use and and put
into a cold pantry. Then the crust
will be flaky and crisp. If you wish
to retain the crispiness after bak-
ing let the pies cool thoroughly before
putting away.
To improve the top crust Of the pie
she has found the following very good:
Brush it over with water and then
sprinkle with granulated sugar. This

WOMEN HELP TOWNS TO
CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP
They Have Done Much to Make National
Campaign for Civic Betterment
Successful Everywhere.

uOlns away Win preeulng places ol
mosquitoes, flies or disease germs, the
planting and trimming of trees and
hedges, planting of flowers, and the
liberal use of paint on everything
that needs it.
In many instances last year the
planning and experimenting Of the
work has put entirely in the hands
of some efficient women's organization
in the city or town. The files ut the
national Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign headquarters in St. Louis
are full of records of just such cases.
Assistance in starting a campaign
in any community in the United States
will be given free Of charge by the ma
tional bureau, Mr.. Clark explained,
upon receipt of a request from any
woman or women's organization. Aid
can also be secured from Mrs. Clar-
ence Baxter, chairman of the Wom'
ems committee of the national bureau,
or from any of the other civic leaders
constituting the bureaus advisory
committee
Be PerpetuaIIy at II,
Mrs. Baxter and Mrs. Senseney are
helping women's clubs everywhere to
accomplish in their towns what was
accomplished in st. Louis last year.
The wOmen's clubs conducted the en-
tire campaign in st. Louis, Boston
and many smaller cities last year and
in thousands of other places they are
aiding the men effectively. The open
ing weeks in many places will be
only the beginning of perpetual Clean
Up and Paint Up" campaigns. "They
will be of immense value" wrote Mrs.
Baxter recently, "in arousing civic
consciousness in practical sanitation
and conservation and in actual bust
ness activity in the community. Many
people spend hundreds of dollars fur
nishing their homes and only an occa-
sional caller gets to admire them. A
much smaller amount spent on coat
of paint for the exterior, general
cleaning up of the premises and few
flowers would give pleasure to thou
sands of passers-by and their friends
as we'll"
Both Of these women are in daily
correspondence with leading club
women, In several thousand women's
clubs, in the effort to make the local
"Clean UP and Paint Up" campaigns
the foundation upon which to build
and conduct various other community
betterment activities in which serious
minded club women everywhere are
so interested.
Newspapers Give Help.
Editors of newspapers from coast
to coast have taken up this work Of
the women and are aiding them in
both the news and editorial columns
and most Of them are unanimous in
declaring that the chief value Of the
work is that 1t aims at permanent re-
form and continued effort.
Ministers are also aiding the women
in their work by preaching appro-
pirate sermons on civic cleanliness
and kindred topics. The wife of one
earnest, hard working clergyman in a
southern town, in which the campaign
was in progress, wrote in a letter to
the national bureau that if more peo-
pie were as sincere in their religion
as they are in this "Clean Up and
Paint Up" movement the world would
be a much better place in which to
live.

on an era of vastly improved liv-
ing conditions, both physical and
moral, due almost entirely to the
efforts Of women workers in the Ma
tional Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paign, according "a Allen w. Clark,
chairman of the national campaign
bureau, in st. Louis.
1t is estimated that during 1915
more than million women took part
in the campaign for civic progress and
human uplift which frightened the
lives and homes of millions from Ban
gor, Me-, to San Diego, Cal. The
growth and development of the ma
tional Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paign, has been In leaps and bounds
since its Inauguration" he said.
Individual women, women's clubs
and women's organizations of all kinds
for civic and moral improvement have
Joined forces in this great work which
reaches into practically every phase
Of life. Letters have poured in by
the thousand at the bureau headquar-
ters from women inquiring how to
start the work in their communities.
Many Of these indicated that the old
fashioned "parlor" variety of woman
civic worker was dying a sure and
natural death, and that serious-minded
if1n N
and more every day the big work that
is before them.
Women Led the Way.
II don't believe we realized the far
reaching extent of the work we had
undertaken until the women showed
u.s." said Mr. Clark. "The permanent
features of the "Clean Up and Paint
Up" Idea were what seemed to gain
their immediate Endorsement. Their
old idea of a spring housecleaning,
which l believe, originated in New
England, seems to have been dropped
entirely, and the women's organiza-
tons Of the New England states are
among the very hardest workers for
an all-year-round policy"
1t would be an impossible task to
name in person even small percen-
tage Of the women who have done &C.
tive and efficient work since the ma
tional bureau inaugurated its system
in the spring of 1913 Some few Of
them, however, are such women as
Mrs. Clarence Baxter Of Kirksville,
Mo-, vice chairman of the civics de-
partment Of the National Federation
Of Women's clubs; Mrs. E. T. Sen
seney, chairman Of the pure food COM
mittee of the Consumers league of st.
Louis; Mrs. w. R. Chivvis, president
Of the Missouri Federation Of Wom-
ems clubs; Mrs. Philip N. Moore Of
St. Louis, past president of the Ma
tional Federation Of Women's clubs,
and Mrs. Thomas Sherwin, chairman
Of the department of streets and al
leys of the Women's Municipal league
of Boston.

The work of the bureau as planned
for this year will be more comprehen-

Perhaps the woman who has learned
TO cook by imagination will find the
casserole more useful than the one
who cooks altogether by recipes, for
the larder often contains various left
overs and odd vegetables which will
fit into a delicious casserole better
than into any other dish. For in.
stance, the woman who uses ham Of

bits of meat which have adhered to
the bone and the end which is un
available for slicing. Often she will
utilize these strips for sandwiches,

be made into a much more substantial

The oldtime Boston bean pot is an
excellent utensil for cooking meats
which are cut in comparatively small
pieces, as well as fruits and dried veg
etables, while the old-fashioned blue
and white stewpot, which can be OBJ
tanned in almost any size, is specially
suitable for use in large families and
is inexpensive. Probably the most at,
tractive utensil Is the ramekin, little
sister of the casserole. 1t is not only
inexpensive, but is particularly use

of savory dishes and vegetables, but
Of desserts. The family may tire, for
example, of creamed corn, but if it is
combined with little leftover veal or
chicken, well seasoned, strewed with

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP!

TELLOW CITIZENS: Let us get together and
II make this town OF ours the most healthful and
most inviting in the State. To do this we must
organize our forces, map out our plans and get to
work. Other cities and towns throughout the United
States finding the efforts along these lines are
bringing excellent results.
If we would have healthful town we must clear
our atcs, cellars stables Sheds yards Streets alleys
and vacant lots of trash dirt junk filth, garbage,
rags cans bottles and weeds We must empty toilets
manure heaps drain barn lots, fill up mudhoes
and Shiny l-srnelling ponds, open cutters, repair
streets and burn rubbish.
Then we must use soap and scrub brushes, brooms
rakes and shovels. We must throw lime freely about
toilets and stables Why? Because disease germs
and germ-carrying insects, especially flies and mos
quitoes breed in filth and spread typhoid and con-
sumption when they enter our living rooms, alight
on our food or bite us while we sleep.
After the dirt is gone we must repair our buildings
and fix our fences-and then lay on the paint!
Paint everything that needs it. inside and out, for
paint is the best known preservative and its brighten
ing influence will make the dulest town in the world
look spick and span
OF course when we buy paint and lime we put
money into the paint-deaer's and me-dealer's
pockets. But if weget sick and die the doctor drug

coin. Most folks would sooner spend theirs on

showed good shines and formation for
ore. but no ore has been found yet in
