Two men were reviewing the art ex- hibition at the Grand Central palace in New York. One looked at the work critically, but the other f1dgetied about and seemed in hurry to move OF or backward or out. Finally his compan' ion needed his discomfiture. Don't like the work, eh?' he asked. "No in- terest, what2" I'm interested bit, " answered the fiagetty one. "1t's not the art I'm complaining of. It's this suit I've on. It's new and all that.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS Presiaens Ams.iean Sse;sy for TAr:H

Tests made by the United States Government showed that at. tic tl,el prevailing prices 10 cents worth of cheese contained 1.o ounces of proteid against 1.2 ounces of proteid in aver- age beef; 1.3 ouhees ill portcrhouse steak; 1.o ounces in dried beef; l.3 ounces in eggs, and 12 ounces in milk. The fuel value of 10 cents worth of cheese was SSo callories against 4o1 of average beef, 444 porterhouse steak, 315 dried beef, and 1o8 of milk Since cheese is ready to be eaten when it comes from the market, the savin., in fuel and other cooking expense also should be taken into cons'lera- ton. The ingenious housewife caa improvise many dishes in which cheese plays an important part.
 The United States Government ha' , the record of a man who lived f.. months upon diet of bread, fruit. and cheese and who remained in good health during that time. Bread, fruit, and cheese make a ration that is wci balanced and there is almost nc lime to the palatable combinations that cali be worked out.
 Cottage cheese may be made ali important meat substitute. In ever1 pound of this food there is about one-fifth of pound of protein, neari; all of which is digestiblc. while meats usually contain less protein and hay. larger amount of waste matter. On, pound of cottage cheese equals 1.t7 pounds of sirloin steak, 1.0o pounds round steak, 1.H pounds chuck rb beef, 1.52 pounds fowl, 1.46 pounds fresh ham, LA pounds smoked ha11. l.5S pounds 1oin pork chop, 1.3i pounds hind leg of lamb, and 1.5'

ton where there is loss of food value. The point is that by little study and thought an equivalent food value may be secured through a les sencd expenditure of money:
 Scientific tests by the United States Government have shown that cheese can be made an excellent substitute for meat. There is popular under standing that cheese causes digestive disturbances. This is not true. In a number of government experiments conducted, young men in good health were fed on diet consisting of bread and fruit combined with American factory cheese which was made with different amounts of rennet and iii different stages of ripcning. The re- suits showed that over 90 per cent of the nitrogenous material of the cheese was digested-that is, retained in the body-and nearly 90 per cent of the energy it supplied was available. Ex- periircnts were made sometime ago in the Minnesota Agricultural Experi- ment Station proving the easy di- ccstibility of cheese.

RUSSIA PLEDGED
 TO STAND FIRMLY WITH THE ENTENTE
Ambassador Bakhmetieff Makes Stirring Address
 To Senate and House.

Washington, June 23. The new Russia's devotion to the cause or de' mocracy against autoclacy was re pledged in ringing phrases today by Special Ambassador Bakhmetieff, head of the Russian war mission speaking to a wildly applauding joint session of the senate and house.
 With all emphasis,' he said, may l state that Russia relects any idea of a separate peace. What Russia IS aiming at is the establishment of a lasting peace between deomcratic na- tions. A triumph of German auto crack would render such a peace i'm possible. Russia will not fail to be aworthy partner in a league of honor."

His Briuht Idea.

When the European war was in It's infancy Hangers back" found them
 selves continually taken to task. A
 grocer's clerk, calling for the usual or der, was scornfully asked why he was not answering his country's call. Thinking he could sec a good customer slipping away, an excuse was desper' ately urgent. Fortunately an incoming customer relieved the position, and a happy idea came his way: Madam, v he replied, "perhaps if told you I've not all my toes on ore foot you would scarcely believe it." This aroused the sympathy of the woman, whereupon he got an increased order. Upon telling her husband of the young mans mis- fortune he coolly asked: "Well, have you?" The feelings of the good lady can be better imagined than described

Cut Flowers Need Air.

If cut flowers are squeezed Into a yase's tightly that the air is exciud- ed they vii! be smothcred to death. That is the reason why many bou' duets do hot last as long as they should. A wiGe-mouthed vase is the best kind to use because it admits oxygen in plenty. Tall, slender vases are very attractive for long-stemed flowers like carnations, but they have one fault-the water in them becomes warm very quickly, and this warmth is transmitted to the flowers, causing them to wilt. The water ill vases of this kind shocia be changed twice a day.

These are suspended on long lines, some- times reaching across river. As long as they are moving in the breeze they are supposed to be recording prayers for the benefit of those who put them np.

Everybody should know that milk Is an excellent pain killer," says Farm and Preside, first because it glves al- most immediate relief, and second. be- cause milk or cream is nearly always available. If a person should get tar tn the eyes, put in few drops of milk or cream. It will also afford great re- lief if cement or gnat should get in the eyes,"

the destruction of smut spores are in

formaldehyde treatment. The gram
should first be cleaned thoroughly
with a tanning mill so that smut balls,
shriveled grain, chaff, ETC., will be
removed. After the grain is clean II
NAV be spread on floor or tar
paulin in a layer or pile several inches
thick and sprinkled with a solution
of formaldehyde made by mixing l
pound of commercial fOrmaldehyde
with A. gallons of water. An Ordln-
airy sprinkling can or a spraying ma
chine is used and the grain is shovel
ed over and over until every kernel
is wet. The grain is then placed in
pile and covered with sacks, blankets,
or a tarpaulin for 2 hours or over
night. 1t is then dried sufficiently to
be run through the drill, after which
it NAV be sOWn. If the grain is not
passed through a tanning mill 1t
should be placed in vat or tank or
the formaldehyde solution instead OF
being sprinkled. The smut balls Will
rise to the surface and may be skim
med off.
If the grain is not to be planted
Immediately, it must be dried sut1l-
GENTLY to prevent spelling when
placed in bins. If planted while damp
and swollen. more grain by measure
must be used to allow for the eXpan-
sion.
