times out of five, as horseless as the
best flivver ever turned out by the Ma
gician of Michigan.
You see her striding down the Ave-
nue. with the air Of one who has just
turned fiery Selim over to Winterbot-
tom, the groom. You see her drop into
q department store to make a few pur-
chases before she goes home, where Fiji
awaits to get her out of these hor-
rible riding things and prepare her for
the dinner dance. Perhaps after this
she stops at the dansant, entering
with the swagger of a captain of hus-
sars and barely depressing the shout of
"Wine, landlord, and let it be of your
bestw as she filings her crop down upon
a table.
On her cheek is the glow of exercise.
Often this Is limited to the welding of
a rabbits foot to and from the rouge
Jar. She may be able to handle a horses
neck with the best, and stone fence in
a tall glass may have no terrors for her.
She may even have a clinical familiarity
with all of the Intervals of six-cylin-

animal, the horse-a job best accom-
plished by a stevedore in his prime

of an eruption at Mount Katmai, distance Of
800 miles, and in Algeria, a distance of more
than 5000 miles, the dust travelling at the rate
of twenty-five to forty miles an hour. Other
instances are given, all the observers at the
different points being scientists Of recognized
standing. one of them no less than Professor
Kimbal of the United States Weather Bureau

who have given thought to the subject tina.
volcanic explosions can make weather" Then
is not the layman in order if he queries:
"Why, if the explosions be violent enough
and continuous for several days, perhaps weeks,
is it not to be assumed that heavy cannonadng
on the European battle fronts can result in
making bad weather not only in Europe, but in
America, 5000 miles from the scenes of &C.

The Battle of the Aisne in 1914 was followed
by drenching rains. The spring of 1916, fol.
lowing the great British offensive, was rainy
and cloudy in the United States. And this
spring, with the French and British offensiyes
in full swing, there is more rain.
But the Weather Man?
Well, he says this:
IF you stood on an ice foe in the Arctic
Ocean with teakettle of hot water and poured
the water upon the ice, do you think you could
make any impression upon an iceberg"
And he smiled in that satisfied, confident
way of his.

woman in the riding habit in her true
nature.
Many of us know her personally. All
Of us have seen her, lettering on the
Drive, or Strolling up and down Broad
way, or lingering in the Park. She
wears the air of lineal descendant Of
Di Vernon Lasca and Lorraine Loree.
Other things she wears also.
On her head is derby, one size too
large, or else a flat-brimmed, patent
leather contraption like a lacquered
tea tray. The upper part Of her body is
encased in coat Of violent check, which
once cherished ambitions to be a skirt

10 you know that over one
fourth of all babies die before they
are one year old?
DO you know that one-fifth of
these deaths happen in July?
Hot weather alone does not kill
babies. Death comes most frequent,

upon the food which they eat.
Remember, there is no better
food for babies than mother S milk.
II you can, nurse your baby-not
oftener than once in two hours;
when the baby is over three months
old. every two and a half hours,
when five months, every three
hours.
Give the baby all the cool, boil
ed water it wants. Boil the wafer
for twenty minutes. Let it cool in
a covered jar. Never leave the wat.
er uncovered. A quart fruit jar
will hold enough for days sup
ply. Have it fresh every day.
Babies often cry because they
are thirsty, or because they are get
ting too much food, or because they
are hot. Dress the baby, in a few
things as possible on hot days. A
little band of cotton and wool to
absorb the Precipitation, a petit
coat and a thin dress are enough.

Do not wean the baby unless the
doctor orders it, and follow hi, adj
vice regarding the preparation of
the milk for the bottle baby. Do
not feed it on coffee, beer, syrups or
solid food.
Buy the best and cleanest milk
you can get. See that it is always
kept covered and cool.
Bottles, pitchers and brushes,
used to prepare the milk, should be
perfectly clean. Dirt in the milk
may make the baby very sick. Pre-
pare enough bottles in the morning
for all the feelings of each day.

Urging the farmers to hold over
all the potatoes they could not get
on the market early and make pre-.
parations to put them in pits or
warehouses until spring, H. j.
Hughes of Minneapolis, editor of
the Farm, Stock and Home, gave
a very interesting address at Red
Lake Falls, Mimi, his topic being,
"a New Era in Farm Marketing"
He also recommended that farm
ers purchase at once all of the
machinery they would need for the
next three years, since manufact-
urers admit that they can make no
guarantee of delivery.

Why the silo Counts

Because, 81 acres of corn put
into it furnish as much feed as 5.:}
acres of similar corn cut and
shocked.
Because, a corn crop of 30 bus.
to the acre will give Z tons of si!-
age to the acre with gain of $l1
an acre over husking from the
standing stalks.
Because. silage fed cows pro-
duce from 10 to 20 per cent more
milk than cows fed fodder from
the same acreage.
Because, silage decreases the cost
Of gains in the beef cattle feed lot.
Because, in short, silo on the
farm mean profits and more grain
to feed the armies that are fighting
for human freedom.

Place a stopper of clean absorbent
cotton in each bottle. Keep the
bottles in separate ice-box or in

Since the United States entered

were told that America could not
send any men before next year,
and by that time England would be
starved out by the submarines.
The CONSUMPTION act was the first
