HOW TO SELECT AND USE FOODS
The following suggestions on get

The following suggestions on get
ting the most food for ones money
are from Farmers Bulletin sos, u.
S. Department Agriculture.
Use cereals flour, meal, cereal
breakfast foods, etc. freely, taking
pains to prepare them with great
care and to vary the kind used from
day to day if necessary to keep
people from firing of them.
Remember that quart OF whole
milk a day for each child, to be used
as a beverage and in cookery, is none
too much.
Do not be ashamed to plan closely.
Thrift in food means providing
enough food, neither too little nor
too much.
Notice carefully how much ofsUch
staples as -four, sugar, milk, cooking
fats. etc, is used each week for a
month, and see if there ar my ways
of cutting down the quantity needed.
Buy nonpherishable materials in
quantities as better prices can be- ob-
tanned. Neighbors can sometime club
together to get lower rates.
Try to make the dishes served Of
such size that there will be enough
to satisfy the appetite of the family
and no unnecessary table and plate
waste.
Many inexpensive materials can be
made attractive and the diet can be
pleasantly varied by a wise use of
different flavorings.
Good food habits are an important
part of personal hygiene and thrift.
Children get such habits by having
suitable amounts of suitable foods
served them and then being expected
to eat what is set before them.
True economy lies not only in buy
ing wisely but also in making the
fullest possible amount of what is
bought.-L. S. u. Press Bulletin.

crops arc planted in the spring Corn.

Fifty-seven hogs grazed on the EA-

Only THE CiTTlE TICK
TRANSMITS TEXAS FEVER
Ticks Found On Dogs, Rabbits, &c,
Arc Harmless To Cattle So Far as
Texas Fever Is Concerned.

ARC F1dTVlCSS y Sdtttc SO -
Texas Fever Is Concerned.
Many people. It seems. still believe
that tho methods "rnployed In tick
eradication work cannot prove sue
cossful for the reason that small ami
mails, such as rabbits. etc, which car
ry ticks, cannot be treated for these
parasites.
Such reasoning would be entirely
logical provided all ticks found on all
animals were the same kind OF ticks.
True, to the casual observer, all ticks
have a striking similarity in appear
arce; but, as a matter Of fact, there
are quite number OF different vnr!e-
ties Of ticks. each one being peculiar
to certain animals, but do not develop
on others. But so far as Texas fever
IS concerned, there is only one variety
of tick in North America that will
transmit the germ Of this fever, and
that is the common cattle tick, which
develops only on cattle, horses and
mules. The other ticks which are
found on dogs. rabbits. and other AMI
mails, while they all belong to the
tick family, do not affect cattle 20
any extent, and have no connection
whatever with Texas fever: nor are
they considered at all in the caIn-
paign of tick eradication.
The confusion, or miSconceptiOn,
with regard to the possibility Of tick
eradication, seems to have arisen from
the idec, therefore, that all ticks setn
on all kinds Of animals. are one and
the same kind Of ticks, which, fortu-
nately, Ia not the case. II IL were
So complete tick eradication. would,
indeed. be a hopeless undertaking.
II should be understood, therefore.
that the common cattle tick seen Oh
cattle, and which natures only on
cattle. horses and mules. is the only
variety that transmits the germ Of the
fever, and the only tick that the au-
thorities are endeavorinr to extermi-
nate; the others being harmless TO
cattle, so far as tick fever is concern
ed And a seasons regular dipping,
at intervals Of IL days. should. In most
cases. eradicate this tick entirely
from a parish or section.
Let us get busy this spring and see
how many parishes we can clean up
by the end of the coming season, a.
delay only adds to the cost of the
work.

EXPLAINS
FOOD CONTROL BILL

Washington, June 19.-President
Wilson, in a letter to Representative
Borland concerning the administra-
tion of food bills, warned opponents of
the measures that they must be pre-
pared to bear the responsibility for
their defeat if they succeed in accom-
plishing it.
Certain disservice has been done
the measure by speaking of it as the
food control BILL" wrote the president.
"The object of the measure is not to
control the food Of the country, but
to release it from the control of specu-
lators and other persons who will
seek to make inordinate profits out Of
it and to protect the people against
the extortion which would result.
ut seems to me that those who Oh
pose the measure ought very seriously
to consider whether they are not play
ing into the hands of such persons and
whether they are not making them
selves responsible, should they sue
coed, for the extraordinary and oppres-
sive price of food in the United States.
Foodstuffs, of course, inevitably will
be high, but it is possible by perfectly
legitimate means to keep them from
being unreasonably and oppressively
high"
