ALL WORTH WHILE
EVERY KIND OF FAD HAS so"s
ADVANTAGE
Trouble 10, One is Apt to 60 '"''
Than With Too Great Enthusiasm
a. Fjrst-Three Good Exam
niles of That Kind.

Do you remember few years aso
when we all went wild ABOUT papei
bag cookery? Everything from soup "
nudding we baked in paper bags anu
we vowed that every dish that nao
been cooked by that new method pos
sessed a strange deliciousness 'ha'
never have been gained but through
the paper bag. We bought recipe
books and no end of bags. we hkeu
the fad for a while and then we forgot
We had a few failures and we became
disguised. So passed the fad Tor paper
bags.
And then came q new vogue Tor cas-
serole cooking. To be sure, slmiiaf
dishes had been cooked with SIM
liar results in France, Spain, Ger
many and Scotland, and other lanos'
for cons of years. But somehow our
culinary interest was focused on the
casserole, and we swore our eternal
and undying devotion to 1t. II was
chicken en- casserole, beef en- casserole
and everything else en- casserole untii
we forgot all about the casserole ana
relocated it to the top shelf with the
paper bags.
At one time In the history OF our
culinary experiments we became adj
dicted to the use of the fireless cooker.
We spent our good money on q large
and complete outfit and spent long
hours experimenting with the various
appliances. But before we had saved
In fuel enough to cover half the cost
Of the flreless cooker we grew weary
and up to the attic went the fireless
cooker In disgrace.
Now, the really sensible thing to do
would be to accept these fads for
what they are worth and to keep them
all. There are things that can in no
other way be SO well or so convent
entity cooked as in paper bags. Baked
fish In a paper bag Is delicious and
leaves no dishes to be washed. Casser'
ole chicken Is more delicious than any
other sort Of chicken and an occasional
casserole stew is well worth while. Fol-
cereals and many sorts Of meat dishes
the fireless cooker is convenience to
every housewife, and surely vegetables
and buildings cooked in glass have
many decided advantages. Therefore
keep all these devices for what they
are worth, and take care not to ex'
haust your interest at first by too great
enthusiasm.

worse today by a Finch snow which
fell yesterday and last night. Early

and the entire district Is covered with
a coating of ice.
The snow started falling early yes
terday morning and continued late n
the night. Hundreds of persons who
had planned on spending Christmas
day with friends and relatives We're
compelled to wait many hours in own
en- route, as the train service was
greatly hindered. All trains are run
ming today several hours behind their
regular schedule, but the warm wealth
er which has already set in will result
in normal conditions being established
late today or tomorrow.
The sudden storm caused great suf-
fering in man sections. During the cold
period a week ago, residents of all,
towns purchased practically the entire
supply Of coal. The shortage of cars has
resulted in the railroads being handi-
capped in their delivery of fuel and, as
q result, many. homes are without coal.
The snow has drifted along the high
ways n the delivery of Christmas
parcels is being accomplished with
much difficulty. The storm was the
worst so far this season.

STATE EXPERT TELLS HOW TO
COMBAT "CORNSTAikn DISEASE

%Brookings. S. D., Dec. 3o.-The fol
lowing statement relative to the corn
stalk disease has been given out by
DR.: G. c. Lipp, veterinarian at State
college:
This state has suffered a consider
able loss Of cattle this fall from what
Is commonly known as 'constalk dis
ease. The loss has nearly always been
In cattle that were turned in the stalk
fields. The symptoms of the disease
are rarely observed, it being usual to
lind one of more animals dead In the
rfeld. These nimal were in appar-
entity perfect health when seer by their
owner but a short time before.
Some authorities believe that losses
from ~cornstalk disease are due to the
development OF a small quantity Of a
very violent poison in the animals
are being digested. Other authorities
believe that all so called cornstalk poi
sonlng is in reality due to the bacteria
causing hemorrhagic septicemia. Some
or the losses may also be due tt black
leg or anthrax, both Of which are I'M
usually prevalent in various parts of
the state this fall, and always cause
death.
when sudden death occurs in a
herd of cattle that has been turned
into a field of cornstalks a competent
veterinarian should be called to de-
termine the cause Of death. Should
1t be due to hemorrhagic septicemia,
black leg, or anthrax, vaccination is
the only satisfactory method for the
prevention Of further losses. Should
the veterinarian be unable to make q
positive diagnosis. a microscopic ex-
animation of blood may settle the
question. The veterinary department
Of South Dakota State college will
gladly make such examination free Of
charge. Should No horforfo h1 Fo,,-f7
and when death is due to cornstalk
poisoning, the only means Of
lion is to keep cattle out Of cornstalk
