a more balanced ration is, the unusual
record made by herd of 10 common
grade cows in the Clinton COW testing
association at Commando, Iowa. The
change came as a result Of the own

the value of q balanced ration.
In December these cows which re-

1855 lbs. of fat at a total cost of feed
of $1,000 which returned the owner a

Domestic Science and Livino Costs

Domestic Science and Living Costs
This series of editorials will not
deal much with household methods.
The newspaper wOmen's pages and
women's magazines have produced IL.
limitable volumes on that subject al
ready. The women are bewfldered
with multifarious and conflicting ad-
vice.
A great many of such suggestions
are written by women who could not
60 into their own kitchen and cook
an egg. Or they may be done by
black proved men smoking corn cob
pipes in some newspaper office. In
these editorials 1t Is proposed merely
to discuss the new point of view which
many women appear to be getting,
which is encouraged and prompted by
the teaching of domestic science and
the widening influence of many
schools of these arts.
To the typical woman of the older
generation, homework was drudgery.
1t was hard, back breaking work, with
many tiresome and footsore steps.
There was much distasteful contact
with dirt, disorder and refuse. The
women living on small incomes did
it with superb fidelity. and a CERTAIN
hopeless persistence. Frequently they
never taught their daughters the first
principle of it. They had higher
hopes for their girls and looked for
ward when their daughters would be
freed from the dominion of pots and
pans by getting job in some shop or
Office. =.
Women Of larger means felt the dis
taste for household tasks even more
keenly. 1t was not SO much that they
felt any social degradation in per
forming them. They merely regarded
them as uninteresting, having nothing
worth the attention !of an intelligent
person. Asking them to bake bread
and tend the coal fire was much like
asking their husbands to 60 out and
dig ditch.
So these women held themselves
aloof from household tasks, not from
any unworthy false pride, but from
their aspiration, most commendable
under wise leadership, for larger and
bigger interests outside their homes.
So they turned over their Homework
to ignorant alien maids who wasted
and scattered while the mistress read
Browning and Tennyson and wrote
papers on Rembrandt's art.

chIlV Research Work.

The esta Adjustment Of q research de-
partment in connection with the state
university for the scientific study of
child welfare in Iowa will again be I'M
.dertaken, before the Legislature. At
Iowa City, they have been doing a
wonderful, work for the unfortunate
children Of the state, under an act Of
the legislature four years ago-we be-
lieve it was four years ago. The state
has been fortunate in having men at
the head of that institution who have
made good, superlatively so. Hundreds
of children otherwise out of reach Of
help have been benefited and the cost
to the state has been negligible. We
would like to see more of that kind
done, and less work of the haH-bak-
ed kind. If the new research depart
ment could be created with promises
of similar successes we would like to
see it done. But If it is to be mere
meddling and s,lperfluous organize
ton, the sooner it is killed the better
1t will be for the state.-Cedar Rapids

"One of the brightest hopes that this
country had In it's entrance into war
was the hope of the abolition of the
manufacture and use Of booze.

the president that beer and wine are
In any way more necessary than whis.'

"At some national or perhaps inter-
national conference all the chiefs of

Sal DON FolsrEp ON POOR MAN.

All of a poor mans wealth is invest
ed Ia his children, says Mr.. John Il.
Cunneen, labor leader and workingman
of Chicago. The poor man sacrifices
his whole life to raise his children
and hopes when they grow up they
will be help to him in his old age.
If the rich mans children go to the
bad the rich man still has money to
support him, but when the poor mans
children go to the bad all his wealth
is lost and he is left In his old age to
a life of misery. The saloon is an in
stitution that robs the poor man of his
children, and he ought to be against
it even more than the rich man.
The rich men will not live where
there are saloons. They will have
their land deeds fixed up so that no sa-
looms can be established, or they will
have laws made to bar out saloons.
Some Christian people ease their con-
sciences by having laws made to keep
the saloons away from the church
doors; but when you drive the saloons
away from the rich mans home and
the doors of the church, you drive
them to the homes of the poor people
the least able to withstand their raw
ages. The poor man cannot drive the
saloon away from his door with money.
like the rich man, for he has not the
money; he has vote, and with that
vote he can, and should. drive the sa-
loon away from his door.

a joke. ROSETTA had become undisci-

What do l mean? Can't you see

The blush smoke from a distant
volcano attracted his attention. He
neared the active giant, circled over
it. then went toward the southeast,
where new marvel of nature called
him.
Enclosed by rugged mountains like
the Garden of Eden, but hundred
times larger, stretched a green, fertile
valley. From the height at which he
was flying it looked like an enormous

It was an ideal volcano, but instead of
smoke steam was pouring from its
mouth. and on its sides and around
the base several geysers spouted hun
dreds of feet into the air.
The valley evidently was inhabited,
as it was highly cultivated, and towns
and villages were seen, Napoleon flew
toward the steaming giant and circled
around it, lower and lower, until, by
chance, liquid from one of the gey-
sers touched the Eagles wing.
The aerodromone shuddered and the
two wings came together with shock
and stuck. The machine fell down
helplessly, like a crippled bird.
1t had come quickly, yet Napoleon
had the presence of mind to turn the
tail rudder to break the fall He did
not know whether he was falling to
his doom or not; still he shouted ex-
citedly: 81 have found it,"
The machine crashed into the
marshy ground with terrific force. The

LIFT YOUR C0RNS

How to loosen a tender corn
or caIIus so 1t lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
q tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle Of freezene for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
