Woman's Preparedness Creed

1. I will make study of the food
requirements of all members of my
family, and will prepare only those
amounts that are needed to supply
for growth, energy, and safeguard
health. I will eliminate waste and
live simply.
2. To this end, I will make a
more detailed study of the exchange
values of foods so that I may help in
conserving the food supply by intelli-
gently substituting foods which are
plentiful for foods which are scarce.
8. I will consciously endeavor to
purchase foods for which there is not
a large demand, so that prices may be
equalized.
4. Whenever statistics or investi-
cations by the Government show that
speculations have inflated the prices
of shoes, cloth, or food products,
shall, so far as is ia my power, refrain
from purchasing those commodities
until the price is regulated.
5. [ will not purchase foods in
large amounts for future use, if by
so doing I help to initiate prices. |
shall, however, cooperate with food
merchants in saving unnecessary
cost Of delivery.
6. I will, in my own household,
encourage the use of flours and meals
made from the less expensive grains,
such as corn, barley, oats, and rye,
thus extending the supply of wheat
through exchange.
7. l will reduce the work in my
household so that the house workers
may, when necessary, be released for
the production of supplies in the form
of food and clothing for the needs of
our country.
8. I will endeavor to use perish
able food in season in order that
staple foods may be left for the win
ter months.
9. In other purchases necessary
for the household, while avoiding
waste, I will not restrict my pur-
chases below the usual needs of the
household, because by so doing | may
disturb the industrial status of ou1
nation.
10. In all of these I pledge my
self to interest my neighbors to join
with me in obeying this creed.

GranuIated Butter.

The Chinese preserve their eggs in
definitely by drying them, the yolks and
whites being first separated and then
each reduced to powder by evaporation.
In India butter is treated in much the
same way, so that it. never becomes
stale and may be kept fresh for hun
dred years. The butter is boiled till
all the water and curds are got rid of
and nothing remains but clear oil.
When the Oil cools into solid it is
granulated and in this form will re-
main fresh Indefinitely. This is what
they call ghee, and ghee is nothing
more or less than dried butter.

Eyesiqht Basis of WAGER.

An Irishman and an Englishman met
one day and they had very heated
discussion. Pat, who had only one
eye, attracted the Englishman's atten-
ton, when he said:
"ThOse are grand eyes you have"
"How much grander are those you
have" said the Englishman in answer
Il thought" replied Pat, I'VE English
men were good grammarians. l have
but one eye, and you could not say
those" Then Pat, who was anxious
to Guido the Englishman from point
of wit and humOr, said:

that 1 can see more with my one eye
than you can with your two"
Done" said the Englishman. It's
a bet"
And Pat, in his truly witty manner,

"Arrah, shure, l with my one eye can
see your two, whereas you with your
two eyes can only see my one."

PROPER GROWTH OF CALVES
PuzzIing Question to Gray Heads In
Calf Business-Much Depends
on Ration Furnished.

How fast should my calves growi
is a puzzling question even to gray
heads In the calf-raising business. This
will depend to a large extent on the
kind of ration fed, but In order for any
ration to be considered definite sue.
cess the calves should show a gain of
at least a pound day each day for
the first six months. Many ordinary
dairymen are getting a pound and a
half gain daily.
In height these same calves should
increase from one and one-half to two
inches per month for the first half year.
The height and weight have a definite
relation for average sized calves dur
ing this first period. After six months
this relation gradually changes and the
weight outstrips the height. At one
month of age normal calf of any
breed weighs, approximately three
pounds for each inch In height, but at
the end of the six months period the
weight has increased to six and one
half pounds for each inch in height.
From that time on there is a continued
widening in the relation Of weight to
height until maturity.

CHAPTER II.
Science and Health,

After all, the advent of a chaperon
made surprisingly little difference in
the life of the parsonage family, but
what change there was was all to the
good. Their aunt assumed no active
directorate over household matters.
She just slipped in, happily, unobtru-
sively, smiling much, saying little.
The members of the Ladies' Aid,
who FASTENED to call, said, "She is per-
fectly charming-such a fine cOnversa-
tionalist!"
She was always attractively dressed,
always self-possessed, always friendly,
always good-natured, and the girls
found her presence only pleasing. She
relieved Prudence, admired Fairy,
laughed at the twins, adored Connie.
"Of course, Aunt Grace" Prudence
told her sweetly, 1--WE aren't going to be
selfish with you. We don't expect you
to bury yourself in the parsonage.
Whenever you want trip away for
while, you must feel free to go"
81 shan't want to CO." said Aunt
Grace quickly.
mot right away, Of course" Pru-
dence agreed "But you'll find our
livellness firing. Whenever you do
want to go"
II don't think shall want to go at
ALL" she answered. Il like it here.
II like liveliness."
Then Prudence kissed her CRATE
fully.
For several weeks after her initia-
ton in the parsonage, life rolled along
sweetly and serenely. For ten entire
and successive days the twins had
lived blameless lives. Their voices
rang out gladly and sweetly. They
treated Connie with sisterly tender
ness and gentleness quite out of ac-
cord with their usual drastic disci-
pline. They obeyed the word of Pru-
dence with a cheerful readiness that
was startlingly cherubimic. The most
distasteful of orders called forth moth
ing stronger than bright "Yes, Pru-
dence."

churning will require from 30 to IS
