The instrument Of Quality
SONORA

A few points to be considered
before buying a talking machine.
Sonora plays all disc records
without any expensive attachment
of any kind. The Importance and
desirability of this cannot be over
emphasized.
No changing of tubei is neces-
sary.
The tone is controlled at its
source, the only proper place. No
muffled tone to the Sonora.
The Sonora motor is the SUI
preme motor Of the photograph
world and plays many times as
long as other machines sold at the
same price.
The Sonora won the gold medal
at the San Francisco Exposition
in competition with all other makes
for tone.
The Sonora's motor is Swiss
make motor and runs silent.

WAR-BLIND DOING GOOD WORK
Tor First Time Sightlcss Making
Electrical Equipment.

New Nork-Realizing that one of
the most acute problems of the war
is the necessity of providing for the
thousands of blind soldier. Dr.
Schuyler 5. Wheeler, long interest j
IN the blind. recently set about find-
ing means of their earning their
liVngs. Hitherto the blind have made
baskets, hrooms chairs and other
simple objects, but these were more
costly than machine made articles
and were only bought by charitably
inclined persons. Doctor Wheeler
sought to find "A place in the work-a-
day world where the labor OF the
blind would command price for ar
tCles universally needed. His sue
cessful solution of the problem is best
explained by himself.
IL knew that the blind must be
taught to do necessary work" he saiu,
"or they would not fill a recognized
plane In the economic scheme. / felt
that this was OF vital necessity, be-
cause there will be thousands OF blind
soldiers after the war. For n long

"The eyes OF the blind being IN
their fingers, l made up my mind
that the blind could do this work, or
which there is practically an unlimit-
ed amount and which must be done.
Two months ago | founded the 'Dou-
BILE Duty Finger Guild at 22 Park

owing to their dexterity and willing
ness to take pains, the work Of tneso

The most important thing is that they

PREVENT FAT FAMINE NOW.
BY Proper Economy, Housewives Can
Now Do Their Bit to Conserve Fat
Supply Of tho Country.

BY using the proverbial ounce OF
prevention right now in conserving the
fat supply of the country housewives
can do their bit in helping to avert !.
fat famine such as Germany is suffer
ing, points out the home economics
department at Iowa State college
which gives these suggestions:
BY stewing, broiling and baking
more food and frying less, fat will be
saved and more digestible food re-
suit.
Save meat table scraps or cut them
off before the meat is served and "try
them out" in a double boiler, or one
pan set inside another fille1 with hot
water Use slow heat to avoid burn
ing. Or, scraps may be covered with
water and allowed to simmer on the
back of the stove or in the oven. AS
soon as the water has ,evapOrated 1t
will stop sputtering. Do this when
the fire is one for some other purpose,
to save fuel. BY either method, if it
is strained through cheese cloth, a
clean fat will result which may be
used for butter or lard in biscuits,
mullins or even in plain or spice cakes
without any noticeable difference in
results.
Don't throw away fat in the gar
bage: use it to make soap. Several
neighbors might join together in a
soap making bee. Every cake of home
made soap leaves another on the gro.
GERS shelf and helps conserve the fat
supply. -t,.
If it is not overheated, fat may be
used over and over for deep fat fry
ing. After frying, if food particles re-
main. strain it. If strong odored foods
have been fried in it, clarity it by fry
ing small pieces of potato in it until
it stops bubbling. Then strain out.
After the fat has been used many
times for frying it can be made into
soap. - $500 't-...t.

MAKE SOUP BEANS SEED BEANS

Because many seed men are limit
ing buyers to one peck of Pean seed
apiece on account of the bean short
age, the experiment truck crops man
at Iowa State college advises patrons
who plan to plant beans this year to
make a visit to the nearest grocery
and stock up there, in case the seed
company cannot supply them.
Grocery beans in most instances
will provide as good seed as those
bought from seed companies. he says.
but they should be tested before they
are planted. TO do this, buy a few,
place them between moist blotters and
place in warm place for few days
If from S5 to 95 per cent Of the beans
sprout 1t is safe to buy seed from the
lot. Be sure to get small white navy
beans, sometimes called soup or pea
beans, as they mature better in Iowa
than any other variety.
Beans should not be planted before
June, warns the truck crops man.
They should then be planted Oh soil
not too rich, but light or sandy. Newly
turned sod ground is good. Do not
plant beans on rich bottom land.
