theory as to h trouble are advising
the farmers to be careful when feed

disease first appeared in Clay county
cattle herds great alarm was created,
as 1t was feared it was the hoof and
mouth disease, which during the past
year or two has aiken such a
toll among the cattle of the United
States. 1t is believed that with care
in feeding the disease will disappear.

Easter Island.

Rapa Nui, Isla de Pascua, Easter
island, an arid scrap of volcanic
desOlation, lost in the Pacific, 1000
miles from the South American main
land and 1000 miles from the nearest
Polynesian afchipelagoes, is owned by
Chile, and is leased by the govern
ment of that country to private com
pany, which exploits its resources and
the labor of it's inhabitants. The yield
in dividends is not wonderful, but If
the scanty products Of the island
were annually disposed of to meet
the needs of the natives, at least a
small fraction of the misery now due
to twentieth century vassalage would
be relieved, says the Christian Science
Monitor.
The island, a lonely sentinel of
Polynesia, received the name by which
it is best known from the Dutch navi-
gator, Roggenwein, who discovered it
on Easter Sunday, 1921. The world,
which had been told of many marvel
Gus things in the two preceding cen
turtles was hardly prepared to accept
what Roggenwein and his party had
TO tell of Rapa Nui, and it was some
time before their stories were con-
firmed, even to the satisfaction of the
usually credulous.

Milk and Dairy Products
Are the Cheapest Foods.
Says Agricultural Expert.

'FDo not buy meat until you have
bought three quarts of milk day. is
the advice of one of the foremost
American authorities on nutrition. This
applies to a family of two adults ana
three children.
The advice is good, according to l..
S. Palmer of the Missouri College of
Agriculture, because milk at 8 cents
quart, butter at 40 cents a pound,
cheese at 80 cents pound, and cot
tage cheese at Is cents a pound are
still by far the cheapest human foods
from animal sources.
The ration per individual for the
civilian need not exceed $500 calories
of energy and 2.5 ounces of protein a
day, according to the British food con-
troller. Three and one-half quarts of
milk, or one pound; 3h ounces of
cheese, costing 1921 and 1914 cents, re-
spectively, will furnish this amount OF
energy, whereas it would be necessary
to buy nearly two pounds of the cheap
est cut of fresh pork, containing con-
siderable TAT, dI COSL VI HI " ~
cents, to obtain $500 calories of
energy.
AS an economical source of protein
it is interesting to find that 10 cents
worth of cottage cheese, 1615 cents
worth of cheddar cheese, and Is cents
worth of milk, at the foregoing prices
per pound will furnish % ounces Of
protein. The cheapest meat protein
one can buy is lean veal steak and it is
necessary to buy % cents worth TO
obtain 2.5 ounces of protein. Eggs at
So cents a dozen are practically on
par with lean veal. Nine eggs are re-
quired to furnish % ounces of pro-
TEN.
In addition 70 their economy dairy
products have the following points in
their favor: ID There is no waste
connected with their use in the house
hold. (2) They contain valuable salts.
CD They contain other invaluable food
substances which many other FOODS
contain either in much smaller guam
titles or not at all.

"Many a MickIe Makes a MuckIe."

A single slice of bread seems an
unimportant thing. In many house
holds one or more slices of bread daily
are thrown away and not used for hui
man food. Sometimes stale quarter
or half loaves are thrown out.
Yet one gOod-sized slice of bread
such as a child likes to cut--weighs
an ounce. 1t contains almost three
quarters of an ounce of flour.
If every one of the country'S 90
100000 homes wastes on the average
only one such slice of bread day, the
country is throwing away daily over
100000 ounces of f1Our-Over $780,
600 pounds, or enough flour for over a
million One-p0und lOaves a day. For
a full year at this rate there would be
waste of over 319,000,000 pounds of
four, 100000 barrels of flour
enough to make 800, 100000 loaves.
AS it takes AZ bushels of wheat to
make a barrel of ordinary -four, this
waste would represent the -four from
over 100000 bushels of wheat.
Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels of
wheat on the average are raised per
acre. 1t would take the fruit of some
100000 acres just to provide a single
slice of bread to be wasted daily in
every home.
To produce this much -four calls for
an army of farmers, railway men,
fiour-milI people. To get the flour to
the consumer calls for many freight
cars and the use of many tons of coal.
But, someone says, a full slice of
bread is not wasted in every home.
Very well-make it a daily slice for
every four or even ten or every thirty
homeS-make it a weekly or monthly
slice in every hOme-or make the
wasted slice thinner. The waste OF
flour involved is still appalling.
ANY waste of bread is declared to
be inexcuSable when there are so many
ways of using stale bread to cook
delicious dishes.

THE CONSUMERS INTEREST IN
ADVERTISED AND STAND
ARDIZED GOODS.

A bill of Importance to all con
sumers is the Stephenson-Ashurst act
now before congress, it's object be-
ing to standardize the price of ad-
vertised articles. AS it is now, II
merchant will frequently offer some
famous 25-cent article for 23 cents
and then perhaps make good his
2-cent loss by charging several times
las much on some article not stand
.ardiZed and advertised. But it is to
the advantage of the public to have
advertised articles of known quality
lat known prices, and then fair compe-
'tition can be built up to keep these
prices right. We hope the Steph-
ens-Ashurst bill will pass. AS a
writer in the Christian Herald said
recently:
The consumer has more at stake
in national advertising than would
lat first appear. National advertisins
has been the st. Patrick of business
AS st. Patrick drove the snakes out
of Ireland so it has driven misrep-
resentation, careless Workmanship
and shoddy merchandise back into
the shadows. 1t has put business OF,
la four-square basis Of truth in mer-
|chandise, in business relations, and in
publicity. National advertising has
standardized merchandise and has
forced new standards of quality.
which, but for it, would not have
been possible except at much higher
prices under the blind system OF dis
|tribution which formerly ruled.
1.-THE national advertiser has made
1t possible for the consumer to know
what he is' buying, and to be sure
that when he pays he will get the
quality he expects. The passage of
the Stephens-Ashurst bill will pre-
vent the undermining of the honest
manufacturer by methods that are at
least open to question. THE Pro

An Effective Laxative
For Growing Children
DIR. Caldwclls Syrup Pepsin Highly
Recommended as n Family
Remedy.

In children the slightest rresu-
larity of the bowels has a tendency
to disturb the entire digestive sys-
tenn, and unless promptly remedied
invites serious illness The eXpe-
rienced mother knows that by train
ing her children to regularity in this
respect, and when occasion arises ad-
ministering a mild laxative, she will
have little need for the doctors SER
vices.
Mrs. Leo Weigand, 1851 Central
Ave, n. s., Pittsburg, Pa, whose two
boys, Frank and Joseph, are shown
in the illustration, writes that she
has found DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin a most effective laxative, not only
for the children but also for herself,
and that she will always keep it in
the house to use when needed. DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is combi-
nation OF simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that acts easily and natur-
ally, without gripping or other pain
or discomfort. 1t is pleasant to the
taste so that children like it, and is
equally effective on the strongest
constitution.

WHY NOT PROFIT-SHARING BE.
TWEEN LANDLORD AND
TENANT?

Some of the greatest industrial
plants of the country are adopting
the system of sharing profits with
their employees. They are doing this
after careful investigation-afte
having found that such plan, in the
long run, is profitable alike to en-
ployer and employee.
Why can't similar plan between
landlord and tenant be inaugurated? +?
We have before pointed out that a
lsbare-cropping system, rather than
the payment for a, fixed rent. is more
likely to conserve the land and the in
terests of the landlord and tenant
Under such system, both parties are
interested in making good crops and
saving the soil; where a fixed rental
is paid, the tenant has no interest in
soil-saving or soil-building. and the
landlard is only concerned with the
collection of his rent.
But why can't we go even further
than the ordinary share system in
Irewarding the tenant for better
work? Suppose, as an illustration.
that in order to break even on the
years operations. certain half-and-
half tenant must make on a certain
area six bales of cotton Why not,
as an added incentive. say to this
tenant: Make, six bales. and get a
bonus Of ten dollars and for each
bale over six, an additional bonus OF
five dollars? Then as an inducement
for good tenants to remain year af-
ter year, why not progressively in.
crease the bonus with length of ser.
lvice?
We do not know that such a sys.
tenn between landlord and tenant has
been successfully used, but is there
any reason why it cannot be done
If some of the greatest manufactur.
ing plants in the country are usine
it to the profit of all concerned, is il
not worthy of trial on the farm?
Such system affords the surest
of all means for getting the Interest
and intelligent cooperation of tn,
tenant, and without these the land
lords profits will always be doubtful
