FOOD SAVING WORK.
Demonstrations In Cottage Chees Max
ing and Whole Wheat Breads
the Past Week.

T. Z. Haddon, state specialist il
dalrying, spent three days in our coun
ty during the past week.
Monday night he, IN company with
the Home Demonstration. Mrs. E. B.
Cope. and the Farm Demonstration.
w. G. Adsmond. attended the Harves,
Home Festival at Ozone given by the
Presbyterian Board of Home Missions.
A beautiful patriotic pageant, entitled
"Uncle Sans Dream" originated by
the community worker, MISS Orbisen.
was given by the children and young
people.
Addresses were made by DIR. Miller,
Superintendent of the Board of MIS-
slons, Prot. March, Supt. Cline, Mr.
An interesting display of agricultural
products and school work was exhibit
ed and prizes were awarded in the
corn growing contest.
Tuesday morning the bread demon
strat,on was conducted by Mrs. Cope
at the community cottage. thirty.four
adults and children witnessing the de-
monstration.
Through very clear explanation of
the reasons for using wheat, meat,
fat and sugar savers, and of the advan-
tages secured by the use of the whole
cereals, through series of careful
questioning. Mrs. Cope brought the
simple, but important facts of food nu-
triton within the comprehension of
even the children present.
After the bread demonstration q
few members of the Red Cross Circle
remained for demonstration IN the
making of the trench candles.
Tuesday afternoon demonstration
N the making of cottage cheese was
ABDUCTED by Mr.. Haddon at the heme
IL Mrs. j. S. Reed, in CfOssville. Mr..
Haddon demonstrated the two methods
of making the cheese and emphasized
its food value. As food. it has the
same value as heetsteak, pound for
pound and contains one and one-half
times as mu:h protein. While the
whey, as a food for hogs. contains one
half the food nutrients of the skim
milk.
If the twenty million families of the
country would average using half
gallon Of skim milk week for cot.
ta9e cheese 1t would save about son
millions pounds of valuable meat prod
ucts in q year.
Wednesday morning another cheese
was conducted by Mc.
Haddon at Crab Orchard at the home
Of Mrs. &. J. Wheeler. Bulletins On
the making and uses of the cheese
we're distributed. This week the
Home Demonstration expects to hold
at Dorton, Daysvllle, May
and and Grab Orchard and Christ

eighty to ninety per cent of the fertll

the II anure from 1000 pounds of hogs
is worth $3S year.
FARMER AND The NEXT YEAR
Word has just been received from
the food administration that in order
to encourage the farmers to raise more
hogs, the administration would use its
influence to see that hogs would not
sell at less than Is and one-half cents
per pound. This means that you will
receive not less an that price for
your hogs next year If the admlEistra-
ton at Washington can control the
market The meat situation ls far
from favorable. Our armies must have
meat and the supply is short. Every
farmer should put forth every possible
effort to feed more hogs than ever be.

Constitutional Burden

When the Public Service Commits
sion decides that in a specific in
stance the operation of two compet-
ing telephone companies in a district
which has hardly sufficient business
to warrant one. is a costly burden OIL
She public, but declines to approve a
proposed form of relief through inn
pating to the Constitution of the
state something that is not there. IL
may be questioned whether there is
more need of amending the Consti-
tuition or the Public Service Commits
sion. One or the other means of re-
lief for the buTdened public ought to
be sought.
When the Constitution was drafted
prohibiting the merger of telegraph
companies. the telephone had not
been invented and no specific men
ton of the latter service was possible.
Since then. for purpose OF iucorpora-
ton and regulation, the Legislature
and the courts have linked the tele-
graph and telephone together, but il
does not follow that the two services
are identical in character, or are TO
be considered as occupying the same
field and subject to like conditions.
The amendment which the major
ity of the Public Service Commission
seek to interline III the Constitution
I'm the Mercer county case. seems un-
necessary, but if 1t shall be sustained
by the courts. it will only serve 10
emphasize the handicaps encoun-
tered insthe administration of a law
under a Constitution which was
drafted before telephones, electric
lights and power. automobiles and
scores OF other essential factors in
the activities of the present day were
invented, or their contingent contli-
tions and requirements were ever
contemp'ated.-Pliladelphia E:en.

FREE SPEECH
IFrom the Outlookl

Freedom of speech, whether in
college. pulpit. press or street, is sub
iect to the same fundamental limi-
tations as freedom or other activity
A man has no more right to use his
tongue to the injury of his nelghDor
or his country than he has to use
his fist to their injury. The right OF
free speech does not mean lrrespon-
sible speech. The right of free press
does not mean. irresponsible printing.
The right of free press and Tree
speech does not mean that the soap
box orator has a right to lampoon
his fellow. citizens of a different race,
political opinion or religious faith,
and incite mob violence: it does not
mean that the press has right TO
lampoon the government and incite
readers to resist the law OF the land
and give aid and comfort to the en-
envy: 1t does not mean that col
lege professor has a right to take ad-
vantage of his position to conduct
propaganda against the efficient con-
duct of the war and use the name
of the college in doing so. The doc
trine that speech and press should
be uncensored still leaves the govern
ment unimpaired authority to punish
the speech or the article If 1t violates
or incites others to violate 1t, ne
must not COMPLAIN IL he suffers the
penalty that is coming him. He can
not have the glory of martyrdom
without its inconveniences.

AVAUNT THE CUFES

VOW comes the irrepressible and
VI unsuitable Mr-Hoover with the
suggestion that we trim off the
cuffs from about the bottom OF cur
trousers; or, to be more accurate.
with the recommendation that we
give our tailors instructions not to
make our blue serges and other kinds
with rolls at the bottom. The idea.
OF course, as you must already have
perceived, is to conserve goods
enough from the bottoms of many
pairs of trousers to provide cloth
enough for the making of an addi-
uonal pair, and, trousers being one
of the essentials of all self-respecting
soldiers, thus to aid in winning the
war.
We modestly desire to suggest that
Mr.. Hoover has neglected the seldom
mentioned, but generally well-knovn
TACT that most of us wear trousers
made by tailors with whom we do
not have speaking acquaintance and
that when the garments reach us il
is weeks and sometimes months since
the cuffs have blossomed and come
TO full fruitage on the shelves of
dealers in natty gents furnishings.
(the advertising writer's will pardon
us, we know, for borrowing this popu-
lar, although highly technical, phrase)
so that to remove the cuffs would
merely add to the high cost of liv-
ing, the clothing store man very
properly charging for unnecessary
alterations" OF course, if for a
trifie we can make a hand -me-down
look like custom-made merely by
having the cuffs removed, why the
temptation will be to have the sur
gical operation performed, but this Is
mere catering to pride in vain things
while the cause of conservation
profits not one whit
Cuffs on trousers are not essential,
says Mr.. Hoover, No more are
ruffies around the bottom of wo-
mans skirt, but who would be brash
enough to suggest that the rufIles be
removed. BY being unessential. we
suppose, Mr.. Hoover means they dc
not cover any length of shin that
would not be covered otherwise, and

VERY PROPER USE

"HE Civic Club puts its house in
North Front street to good use
when it throws it open for
weekly gatherings of the wives,
mothers and sisters of Harris
burg soldiers in the service. The
clubhouse is designed for just such
community uses. The Civic Club holds
title to it by bequest, as it should,
but its membership is big enough and
broad enough to cooperate just as IL
is doing with the Red Cross for these
weekly gatherings of Harrisburg's
patriotic women, whose men have
gone to the defense of the nation.
1t is a fine thing that these women
have place where they can gather
and become acquainted. They have
much in common, and no doubt
friendships will be formed thus that
will last through life. Besides. wo-
men thus brought together will find
many ways of assisting in war work
and the bonds of the community will
be nightly strengthened by asso-
Citations thus brought about.

about these meetings. Every wo.

Although Auditor General Sny-

ject, it is known that steps have been
taken by his department since the

listers of wills in several counties in
regard to prompt payment of direct

Snyder received as a legacy some
accounts for collateral inheritance
tax owed by slow-paying registers
and also some cases wherein the
state had not been able to get the
sction required for getting its money
in others. The Auditor General has
taken up the whole list of unsettled
cases and back accounts due the

kind is understood to have gone out

WAR HITS SCHOOLS

DROBABLY the last place where
the average citizen, and GER
tainly the average parent, would
look for effects of war would be in
the schools. Pennsylvania has so
carefully built up it's educational
system and State and local districts
have been so liberal with appropria-
tions that such thing as the titanic
conflict interfering with the course
of instruction in the cities and hills
probably has not occurred to many
people. But the fact is that the con-
tiruance of the war another year is
going to make things serious for
some schools.
In fact, so serious is the outlook
now that the State Board of Educa-
tion has been called to discuss the
problems arising out of the war. A
survey of typical districts among
the $500 into which the State is
divided has been under way and re-
ports will be submitted to show how
the call to national service has taken
some of the best teachers of the
younger generation; how their alb
sence has increased the burdens of
the older teachers and forced to the
front still younger men; how the in
dustrial activity with its greater re-
wards is summoning men and even
women from school desks, and how
the enlarged sphere of women is
menacing the present mainstay of
the teaching system. All these con-
ditions, aside from the rising price
of supplies, the increase in build
ing materials and the cost of trans
portation where schools have been
consolidated, are ether matters of
vital concern.
Some of the school districts of
Pennsylvania are not rich in natu-
raj resources and have hard
enough times scratching along with
what taxes they can impose. Tho
continuance of the war is going to
force some changes, which it is 10
be hoped will only be temporary.
