Milk Prices Not Question Of Production
D the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: | have noticed in your issue of even
date an extraordinary article, entitled Profit
in the Beef" by F. ". Dickinson, Brooklyn,
y. Y.
You will confer favor if you will request
the gentleman to go into the subject in
greater detail, my desire being to induce
him TO convict himself of utter ignorance of
his subject, and teach him lesson not to
rush into print" and clutter up the columns
Of the press with matter that will only win
him ridicule.
The price Of milk is not question of pro-
duction, but of distribution and elimination
OF almost criminal waste in the latter process.

For Middle AGED Women,

Women who are middle aged and
rather stout will find cold bath every
day with plenty OF friction afterward
an admirable fat reducer. If you can't
take a cold bath have q cold sponge
down after your warm bath and dry
yourself vigorously with a rough towel.
There is something very stimulating in
the friction induced by thorough dry
ing after bath.
Plenty Of fresh air is essential to
health, and it is essential, too, to avoid
much lolling about In easy chairs. This
last induces that fatal habit of stoop-
ing, as a result of which there is FORM
ed, as we get on in years, an unsightly
roll Of fat between the shoulders, which
hangs over the top of the corsets. Very
often faulty corsets are responsible for
the formation of this figure blemish,
corsets which are laced so as to press
the fat upward between the shoulders.
To cure it in the first instance you
will require to go through a course OF
scientific massage. Massage Is also
splendid for fat which forms beneath
the waist line and for double chin.

STORY OF NARcIsSUs.

The daffodils and the jonquils all be
long to the narcissus family and ar,
among the first flowers to bloom In oul
gardens in the springtime.
These, Of course, bought Of a mar
who sells flowers. They were raised IL
a dollhouse.
Daffodils do not grow wild in this
country, though in some parts of south
ern Europe they do.
The name narcissus was given to the
flowers by the Greeks.
They had a story about them which
you may like to hear.
Long ago, the Greeks story ran
there was handsome lad named Mar
cissus. So beautiful was he that every
one who saw admired him.
Most Of his time was spent in wan.
dering about the woods and fields
alone. One day he went to the woods
to hunt. Tired and thirsty near the
middle of the day, he looked about for
place to get drink
Deep in the forest he found a beau
tiful clear, deep pool 1t was shaded
by tall green trees. and the violets that
grew by the water were the most love-
ly and fragrant of their kind.
NarcisSus knelt to drink from the
pool, and 10, just beneath his own face
looked up another, a face which he
thought the most attractive he had
ever seen.
There were no mirrors in those days
save the polished silver ones that be
longed to kings or the rich. The SIM
pie country youth did not know that it
was his own face that he saw looking
up at him out of the water.
Narcissus leaned down and the face
in the water seemed to come closer, but
though he dipped his in the pool he
could not touch the other.
The foolish boy was happy, for he
thought that what he saw in the water
was the nymph or the fairy guardian
Of the pool.
But. though he begged the image TO
come out Of the water and talk to him,
Of course it could make no reply. Day
after day Narcissus came to the pool
to gaze at himself in the water. He
forgot to eat, to drink, to sleep and at
last he faded away and died. But he
did not really die, for from his body
sprang a wonderful flower whose gold
en- head hung over the pool as his head
so often had done. The flower was
called narcissus, and, though would
not have you believe this story true,
yet it may help you to remember the
name.

FASHION CUES.
Points About the Very Lat.
est Spring Toys Are Here.

Despite all the rumors to the oppo-
site effect, there Is a strong directoire
influence In some Of the spring suits
and frocks. Especially is this true Of
the Paris collection. In the suits this
effect is obtained In the placing Of the
belt and In the size Of the revers. As
Tor the materials used, there Is a guam
dty Of satin and charmeuse besides fig.
ured and striped foulard and striped
mousseline. Embroidered chiffon Is
used to drape over satin or charmeuse.
There are seen both the barrel and the
draped skirts, while the skirt for the
suit Is narrower and occasionally
plated. Jackets for the two pieced
suits are short, for they reach to the
waist, not even the conservative finger
tip length that had been predicted for
the early spring. These short jackets
frequently show panels Of accordion
plaits and a combination Of materials,
but In different order from that which
We have been accustomed to-for in
stance, the skirts will be checked ma
terial and the jackets Of plain.
At the southern resorts, for cycling,
which is eminently southern sport, the
suits are most attractive, the skirts
short and the boomers Of the fitted
riding type. and these Of a striped.
checked or blocked material, and the
jacket of the predominating tone Of
the figured material. The material
used for these sports clothes is home
spun, and this, by the way Of change,
Is quite acceptable and very attrac-
tive. The skirts as often as not are d.
vided, and the knickers are, Of course,
OF the same material.
On all sides we hear Of the slip-over
effect Of suits and blouses and even
wraps. Organdie and linen make a
southern wear frock on this order.
Top coats come in all the bright new
colors and are most attractive in de-
sign. Some have quite a directoire
effect, while others show belts at the
natural waist line. Velvet ribbon en-
ters into the trimming of these as well
as the dressier suit.

The Mayhower.

Trailing arbutus. or the mayfower,
is to the northeastern part of North
America the true harbinger of spring.
In the pine woods Of the north 1t
makes its fight against the cold wealth
er and wins. Through the long, bitter
winter its leaves stay. green. and its
dainty little flower blossoms out in the
coolest days of spring. OF all the flow
ers of the wildwood trailing arbubtus
Is one of the widest. 1t grows in pro-
fusion, carpeting the cool glades. its
faint perfume sweetening the forest
But when taken to a garden it sickens
and dies.

SUN BATHS.
Health Tips About This Popular Way
of Getting Strength.

Health Tips About This Popular Way
of Getting Strength.
Prolonged exposure of the human
body to bright sunlight in those not
accustomed to its rays is dangerous.
The damage is more than the sun
burn which results, for physicians have
shown that headache and symptoms of
meningitis have developed after youths
under their observation had been lying
several hours in the sunlight with un-
protected head and no clothing but
bathing trunks.
The symptoms shown by these pa
tents demonstrated that the suns rays
had evidently penetrated the skull,
thus indicating that sunstroke is the
consequence Of direct exposure to the
sun.
Sun baths are most popular with ane-
mic and nervous city indoor workers,
but too much sun is most apt to harm
the nerve system of nervous people.
Instead Of being benefited by long
exposure to the sun the nervous are
rendered more nervous, and when the
summer is over they are tanned, but
otherwise in poorer condition than in
spring.
No one welcomes more than the ply
stefan the back to nature" tendency
of recent years, but they are now being
careful to warn against excuses and
abuses in the enjoyment Of nature"

A Tidy Linen Closet,

A linen closet that is tidy and neat
Is a delight not often met with. The
linens may be placed in neat piles
when the laundry comes home, but
when searching for a particular sheet
or pillowcase or towel the pile is apt to
become disordered. If you will use
bands and tie each pile you will find
that the shelves will present a much
better appearance. A band of linen
about ten inches long and about three
or four inches wide is scalloped in
blue and the words Sheets" pillow
cases." or whatever the article may be,
are worked In cross stitch. Tape
strings are attached to each end

THE JOB HUNTER.
How to Face Work Without Any False
Pride

How to Face Work Without Any False
Pride.
A very good piece of advice, which,
however curious it may sound, SHOULD
be impressed ON all women who are
trying to find employment is, do not
be lady"
There is a vast distinction between
being lady and being a gentlewoman.
The word lady" is most misused and
in its present day application it stands
greatly in the way Of those who are
seeking work and who, time after time,
cling to this description Of themselves,
despite the failure to gain employment
that its use entails. Remember that
good, hard, honest work is never low
ering. If you are gentlewoman by
birth and nature you will be as much
a lady when you are scrubbing the
floor as when you are receiving guests
in the drawing room.
Numbers of women refuse good po-
sitions because they consider them
selves too ladylike to undertake the
work involved. The aim of hundreds
Of girls today is to be described as
young lady" To achieve this they
prefer to work for long hours in a shop
or typewriting Office at rates Of pay
which only with a hard struggle pro-
vide food, lodging and clothes, rather
than take a better paid and far more
comfortable situation as a domestic,
and all because they think that do
nestle work is beneath them.
The modern young woman in many
cases will wait for weeks on the chance
Of finding a position as lady companion
or lady housekeeper, and yet when it
comes to hard facts she is serving her
employer just as much in one situa-
ton as in the other. Whoever works
for another is a servant, and from the
highest to the lowest we all serve in
some way or another.
If women would only take this mat
ter to heart and cease struggling after
a false social position they would find
life much easier, and many Of the seri-
Gus problems Of the labor market
would be easily solved.

Keeping Wicker Clean.

Many a housekeeper has discovered
the difficulty Of busting wicker chairs.
No amount Of careful rubbing or
Pickering of the feather buster can
reach far into these crevices; there the
dust collects and there it ordinarily
stays. But not long ago a woman
and very busy one at that-hit upon
new plan for cleaning her wicker
chairs. One by one she carried them
into the bathtub and turned the spray
upon them. The penetrating stream Of
water pierced them through and
through. and after the process was
complete each chair fairly shone with
freshness and cleanliness. IF house
wives could know the amount Of dirt
and dust that 1 succeeded in washing
out Of my three chairs" said the wo-
man In question. they would not hest
tate long to follow my example and
pop them into the bathtub."

No matter how careful one Is to
cover cold creamed hands with gloves
before retiring. the top Of the blanket

Is a way to check its progress along

blanket. II the material Is held on
with slip stitches It can be easily re

1 6HJSy SSSNSS NhS"s
on the TabIe-Bssidss, It's More Fun
Than q Range.
Why In many homes Is the chatting
dish relegated to the sideboard as an
almost useless ornament, dragged forth
only for company"
If the chatting dish proves itself a
useful and practical means of preparing
a meal for guests, why Is it not equal
ly good to cook family meals, especial
ly the lighter supper, tea and luncheon7
Many time when the hostess herself
has to prepare meals she would save
herself labor by using the chatting dish
instead Of cooking in the kitchen and
trotting back and forth with the vari-
GUS foods. Perhaps, too, father would
not complain so much that he doesn't
get a chance to talk to mother" be-
cause she has to spend so much time
preparing a meal, If mother used the
chatting dish and talked while she
cooked.
AhC uASu 10 q "u1Cu
more women should acquire. Once &C
customed to the idea Of cooking on the
table 1t becomes just as natural and
easy as cooking in special place like
the kitchen. The points In favor Of
the chatting dish are that it obviates
the necessity of the hostess rising, that
the food can be served piping hot and
that with its blazer and pan 1t is one
Of the most sanitary food vessels to use
and clean.
Many articles used in family suppers,
such as creamed Clipped beef, oyster
stew, broiled or PANIED chops, kidneys
and many more Of the dishes having a
creamed sauce, can be prepared fully
as well in the chatting dish as over any
other kind Of fuel. Why not use the
chatting dish blazer instead Of the ugly
frying pan to cook the hamburg steak
balls for tonight's supper? II the sal
ad and dessert are already prepared
the balls can be made ready, cooked in
the dish at the table and served direct
ly to each plate without even soiling
the platter.
A breakfast Of creamed Goldfish can
be managed most effectively in the
blazer, as can bacon, sausages and 9TH
er morning dainties. Oysters can be
sauted, fried with bacon or made into
a stew before our very eyes. The chat
ing dish burner does not smoke and
make an odor, as does the kitchen
range. and If used with percOlatOr or
toaster there is no reason why an en-
tire meal cannot be made and served
vis-a-vis.
The expense" some say. But we now
have denatured alcohol at low price,
which is practically the same as gas at
81 a thousand. A small ten cent can Of
alcohol burns long time-enough GER
tainly for three breakfasts. The chat
ing dish itself is easier to wash than |
pots and pans, and it permits a most |
graceful accomplishment to be added |
to the hostess repertoire of table |
Polish up the chatting dish, install It |
on the side table instead Of behind |
closed doors and use it every day In |
the week. Why allow an expensive
piece of equipment to be used once a
month? If you have current have con-
1ections and plug which will permit
your chatting dish to be operated cleo
.rically. It will be more fun and cosier
han getting breakfast all by yourself ]
n the kitchen.
