Now is the Time

If thestate's publicity department is TO
ssue a booklet setting forth Vermont's
attractions as a summer resort, the work
should be done as soon as possible so
that Vermont can receive the benefit in
1916 of the vast amount of tourists bust
ness that is still kept away from Europe
by the reason of the war. For season
and a half the simmer resorts in the
UnitedIStates have been greatly benefit
ting at the expense of Europe; and they
are likely to benefit just as much during
the season next at hand. Vermont can
not afford to lese any opportunities along
that lire; and hence the fullest publicity
is desirable.-Barre Times.

BIG CONCERNS WATCH
WASTE OF MATERIAL
Get Full Value Out of Labor Another
Problem.

Your job depends upon two things:
First, the profitableness of the bust
ness; and second, your efficiency. If
the business is not remunerative it
cannot long exist, and the inefficient
workman is soon eliminated by the
processes of competition and supervi-
sion.
The principal cost in all business is
the labor and material cost, and the
problem of business is to get full value
out of labor and cut out all waste
of material. The thriftless workman
can waste as much as he produces, and
do it so unconsciously that it may not
be detected without expensive check
ing. A innocent article can be
wrapped so extensively that the profit
disappears. Paper and Irvine is often
used so thriftlessly by department
store employees that when delivery Is
made the profit is cut in two. These
are the little leaks that waterlog the
business ship. The employee must real
ize the fact that he is one of great
number and if he allows little wastes
in material, or soldiers" just few
minutes each day. in the aggregate the
loss is enormous.
A few years ago there was wreck
on a western railroad that cost the
company S25O,O0O. The president sent
word down the line that as a special
favor to him he wanted each man in
the company's employ to endeavor to
save five cents worth of material
day, or do FIVE cents worth of work
more day than heretofore, and the
loss would be made good in a year.
The problem of all big concerns is to
get the men in this frame of mind con-
stantly-no lettering on the job and no
waste in the job.
Big concerns everywhere are giving
| much thought to the elimination of the
waste and utilization of all the by
products. Chicago is famous for using
all the pig but the squeal The Penn
sylvania Railroad requires that every
bolt and nut that can be retapped be
used. You will find no waste iron
around their yards. Even the cotton
waste used in wiping engines is clean
ed and used for packing Journals. In
the South the stumps of yellow pine,
heretofore a nuisance and an encum-
branee to the land, are now turned into
resin, turpentine and other by-prod'
ucts.

The Farmers Forum

A cause for the backwardness Of some
towns has been discovered by Missouri
editor who. it appears, has given much
serious thought to the matter. 1t is due,
he finds. to the depressing influence of
"the hot stove element" of the popula-
ton. If there were fewer chairs around
hot stoves in the winter season, he thinks,
more people in certain towns, his own
included, would have less inclination to
discuss other peoples business and more
time to give to the good of the commun-
ity.-Christian Science Monitor.
To charge the backwardness of rural
communities to 1.-THE hot stove element"
has at least the merit of novelty. Here
tofore it has been generally agreed that
the question of preparedness, subjects
like the tariff and politics generally. were
duly settled by the rural cracker barrel
philosophers and soap box sages who
gather in the only public forum at hand
the country store.
The President in his speech to the Grid
iron Club the other night remarked that
he would great deal rather know what
they they are talking about around
quiet hresides all over the country than
what they are talking about in the cloak
rooms of Congress. He added that the
only way to hear things, that is, to test
public sentiment, is constantly to get
back to the fountains of American ac-
ton. "These fountains are not to be
found in any recently discovered sourc-
ess," he added.
The fountain of good deal of public
opinion, where Presidents are made,
where policies are approved or con-
demned, where parties rise or fall is the
agricultural district, not Congress, nor
yet the great centers Of population. The
farmer vote is the vote that counts and
and it is Que of the passions of parties
and politicians to keep the rural indie
pendent elector satisfied. To be sure,
they discuss other peoples business in
the "store court" but what assemblage
of American citizens does not? More
public sentiments are formed in the coun-
try store than by the social intercourse
of city saloon. The thought of the
rural communities is generally on the
side Of safety and sanity, and any states
man or any party that secures the conf
dence of the country store or rural COM
munity, can with justice claim the sup.
port of public sentiment

Hot Breads for Breakfast.

81 S to the digestibility of hot
~ breads. each person must be a
law unto himself. A recent
writer in the London Lancet affirms
that hot rolls are quite as digestible
as cold ones. If only they are thor
oUGhly masticated. The trouble lies in
the fact that new breads, being soft
and plastic, are more hastily swallowed.
while stale bread cannot be swallowed
until softened by mastication. This
same writer states that there is no
more moisture in fresh bread than
there is in stale. but in the former ii
is in free state. while in the latter 1t
is in chemical combination.
To prove this he submitted stale
bread for time to high tempera-
ture. when it Immediately regained its

A Bit About the Oven.
In the first place. the oven. in baking
different foods. requires different de-
grees Of heat. Roast meats and game
require the most intense heat. in order
to scar the surface at once and retain
! the juices. The oven should be hot
, enough to char an ordinary sheet of
note paper in few moments Cooks
| oven heat will find it invaluable in
, baking breads.
| Next to meat comes pastry. when the
| oven should be as hot as one can get
| it for the first ten minutes, then slack
| ed off SO as to reduce the heat. Mullins
and biscuits made with soda or baking
powder come next. and usually re-
quire not more than fifteen minutes ir
the baking. while biscuits and muffini
made with yeast require slightly less
heat. and twenty minutes or half ar
hour in the baking. Mullins of corn
meal. graham. rye or whole wheat take
| from five to ten minutes longer to bake
than the wheat mullins, which require
intense heat to develop the sugary por'
tions of the wheat.

muffin is baked upon griddle. These

The new coats which have arrived
here seem to indicate that a number
of the designers have taken up the
idea of fastening the coat al the col

usually shows through the opening,
which naturally occurs between the

pling collars of white null or or
CANDY, Of chiffon or thin taffeta.
Plain, white muslin collars have
grown inches and inches in depth, and
to the waist in a rounded point in the
back.
The twenty-six Inch jacket seems to
have been accepted. with a variation
here and there, by the majority of the
French houses. and as jackets grow
shorter skirts grow longer. There is
no revolution in the hens Of skirts. but
those who are familiar with the
tendencies Of fashion know which de-
velopment to expect.
There are those who, being very acute
in their knowledge of fashions. will
tell you that the fare at the end of
the coat will soon be in contrast with
a skirt hem that will incline in, rather
than flare out.
For the present moment, however,
women need not bother their heads
about the latter change. The majority
of women detest the fiaring skirt, and
SO do many dressmakers, because it is
not easy to adjust Therefore. any little
straw of rumor flying from the right
direction is taken as fashion that will
be welcomed.
OF the flare at the end of the jacket
there is no doubt whatever. Every lit
tie coat begins to fall in deep ripples
the moment it leaves the waist line;
this when exaggerated looks as though
a ruche had been placed around the
hips.
There is no attempt, in any of the
jackets, to cover the hips. Long coats
which do not belong to suits have
grown in length until they cover the
skirt hem, and the elaborate redingote
gown which initiates them is again to
the fore.
In the ma jority of jackets there is a
curious Elizabethan tendency to shape
the fronts to long point below the
waist. and this. with the ruche around
the hips and the ripping cape at the
back, gives strong suggestion OF
mems attire when Elizabeth was queen
Many of the new coats do not have a
row of buttons down the front. Cheruit
was probably the first of the master
designers to make two buttons serve
on one coat. She placed one at the
neck and one at the waist, and when
she first started the scheme she elm
mated buttonholes. One of her patrons
said that this was an excellent trick. in
case there was any alteration to be
made in the fastening of the coat.

times the entire front of coat mus,
