would seem that. owing to his pecu-

looks to be in the act OF beaning

SWEET CLOVER RARELY
CAUSES BLOAT

One advantage of sweet clover for
pasture is that cattle and sheen are
not as liable to bloat on it as they are
on other clovers and alfalfa 1t is
practically never safe to pasture cat
tie and sheep on green alfalfa but on
sweet clover they are comparatively
safe thruout the season and in all
kinds of weather. The few cases of
bloating on sweet clover pasture re-
ported have been under conditions of
protracted wet weather. Some main
tain that the freedom from bloat in
this particular legume is due to the
presence of cumarin in the plant.
The tainting of milk when cows
pasture on sweet clover is confined
for the most part to early in the
spring.-Geo. II. Glover, Colorado

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD

Don't be careless and Indifferent to
the plea to save and save. 1t may
grow tiresome to you, but so will
many other things before this war is
ended. This request by the govern
ment to save is not alone from a
standpoint of dollars, but from a
standpoint of saving actual food.
If we don't get meat, wheat, sugar
and fats to send to Europe our boys
will go hungry. Hungry men cannot
fight. Hunger will make towards of
the bravest of men.
Every housewife is asked to sub
stitute in place of sugar. the follow
ing: Karo Syrup, Sorghum, Maple
Syrup, Honey, and New Orleans Mo
lasses.
To save fats use no butter in cook
ing Substitute Crisco, Olive Oil,
OleoMargerine.
On your meatless day use one of
these: Fish, poultry, game, cheese,
beans, nuts, eggs, peas.
For your wheatless days use rye
bread, oatmeal bread, corn bread,
rice mullins, potato bread.

One of the most enthusiastic receptions
ever accorded a minister was rendered
Rabbi Louis Stern last night by the

The church was lavishly decorated with
palms and roses and not a vacant seat
was in sight
As an appreciation Of the faithful sery-

sented him with $1,000 in gold.

brew Congregation for forty-five years,
is probably the oldest minister in point
of continuous service in Washington He
is 70 years old, came to this country from
Germany In 1872, and has since that time

FACE OR Legs, Which?
why, LEGS..ALWAYS
Lecturer Says Women Give More Heed
to Ankles Than Heads.

In dressing. women have come to give
more consideration to their feet and
ankles than to their heads.
Whether fashion has decreed this OF
whether it is just one of the wiles OF
women is a question. 1t Is possible that
there is something psychological about all
this, or more commonly stated, is it Just
"a matter of demand and supply that
women have observed that the greater
percentage of men walk along with their
heads dropping and that the new hat has
gone by unadmired.
Strange as this may all seem, no other
authority than Frank A. Parsons. Of the
New York School of Fine and Applied
Arts, believes that it is true.
Decoration of a woman's lower extremi-
ties should not be more attractive than
her hat on her head. Mr.. Parsons yester-
day told a large audience in the audi
torium of Woodward & Lothrop's de-
partment sstore in lecturing on THE
Principles Of Form" under auspices of
the Washington Society of Fine Arts.
He declared that the face of a person
should be the principal attraction, and
not the clothes. OF course, such a state
ment has its limitations. Mr.. Parsons ad-
mitted.
He called attention to so many women
wearing white or other Tcolored spats,
while on their heads they have a hat
which does not match the color scheme
of their ankle decorations. Mr.. Parsons
said that women should regard harmony
in dressing.
Where harmony reigns. there harmony
is, and there is no art where harmony is
lacking" Mr.. Parsons declared in telling
that the laws of nature should govern
both the exterior and interior of build
ings in their construction
Great interest was shown in his leo
ture, which was illustrated by stereopt-
con slides, showing various designs of
art in windows, pillars, cornices, furniture
and other decorations
