EIGHT CENTS FOR
MILK TO FARMER,
PUBLIC TO PAY IS
Especial to The Farmer.).

Redding, Aug. 23.-The assurance OF
eight cents per quart for milk from
Oct. 1 has induced several farmers in
this locality who were about to dis
continue production to remain in the
business. -Four or five years ago the
price mentioned would have looked
like easy money to the dairynaan, but
he figures that at the present time 1t
goes only a trifle beyond meeting the
increased cost of production, the larg-
est item Of which is the enhanced cost
of grain.
Last year the winter price of milk
was five cents and the summer price
the fraction of a. cent-less. Since last
April the farmers hereaibouts have
been getting six cents. A MIR. Heb.
bard of Bridgeport who came into the
local field as a buyer several weeks
ago and has built up a business OF
about forty cans daily raised the rate
to sefen cents for August and Sep
tember. Now, however, he is threat
ened with the serious curtailment, of
his supply on account OF the starting
up on Oct. of the pasteurlzing and
distributing plant of the county CO.
operative association organized since
last spring and located on North ave-
nue., Bridgeport. The association
plans to pay the producer and to fix
the price to the consumer of the pro-
cessed and bottled article at IL cents.
OF the five cents difference two and
one-quarter cents represents the cost
of processing while the remaining two
and three-quarters is the peddlers'
commission.
Those now selling to Hebbard who
are members of the association will
naturally transfer their business to
the North avenue plant and those not
members are being urged to do like
wise in order that the cooperative
movement may be strengthened so as
to present a more solid opposition to
the large dairy companies which are
accused OF having used their monop-

NEW ENGLAND's. PEACHES,

The oid-time expressions, IAN ap-

might be- applied ITO peaches equally

fruit lies in it's acids and mineral
salts, which may well be called reg
ulators.' They preserve a healthfuI
condition of blood and other fluids.
They supply a large amount of water.
quench thirst and help in rennoyin q
waste from the body.
The organic acids of such fruits
as the peach assists digestion by in
creasing the flow of digestive fluids.
They stimulate appetite and hasten
the movement of food and have a
special value in this respect.
The strained juice Of a ripe peach.
slightly diluted with water, may be
fed to child of eleven months. Like
orange juice, it is of valuei n over
coming constipation in young chill
dren. Any tendency for the pulp to
disagree with weak digestion NAV
be overcome by thorough-cookfn
and MASKING the pulp. Some books
on diet report the successful use OF
peaches in serious cases of intestinal
disorders among both children and
adults.
For their action IN stimulating d.
gestive fluids and the, movement of
food in the intestine, peaches should
be eaten between meals or preceding
the meal. Perhaps the best time to
eat them for their medicinal value is
a haif-hour before breakfast.

at his New Haven office are more
than 1900 letters from stock patrons
in this city, asking for Miss Howard
as the selection. Surely no greater
test of popularity could there be than
this and in full Justice to the .beauti-
full girl it must be said that it is a
deserved tribute.
Daughter of the president of a Cali
fornia University, Warda Howard had
every advantage for, a brilliant ca
reer- in the realms of literature and
her early training was all concentrat-
ed on this point.
But the inevitable amateur thea
ftricals in her home town had to just
come along and carry her on the tide
with the result that books other than
dramatic scripts were abandoned and
the stage was to know Warda Howard
and know her full well.
She had an intensive stock training,
nature had gifted her with everything
that goes to-, make for success, a
charming speaking voice, a beautiful
figure and a face SO handsome that
it stood every test of the close up OF
the screen, the hardest test imagin-
able when she. appeared for a year
las a. screen star. and you saw her
right in this. town and knew she was
brilliant success.
And so it comes that the selection
of Miss Howard for leading woman is
an ideal one. She has been at Poll S
in Worcester and Polls in Washington
this season and both towns want her
back but Md. Poll had originally
planned an innovation for the Lyric
SO far as selecting his company was
concerned, his. idea being to make it
an all star company selecting each
member of the cast from another of
his companies on the basis of merit.
The inevitable happened. When the
test of popularity Of all his leading
women came, Warda Howard won out
and she will be the Lyric star,

Over a Million and
a Half Women Taking
Mems Jobs In England

Washington, Aug. 23.-How England
is meeting war time labor problems
which soon may confront the United
States is told in a statement by the
chamber of commerce of the United
States today.
Among the expedients are the en-
ployment Of a million and a half wo-
men to take the places of men in the
factories, making strikes in certain
industries unlawful, and prohibiting
employment of men between the ages
of Is and 81 in specified lines of bus
mess. War profits have been taxed so
per cent, corps of volunteer workers
have been organized, and classes have
been established where women and
unskilled men may be instructed in
the trades.
Differences concerning wages or
conditions of employment are settled
by arbitration if possible; If not, by
the board of trade or the ministry of
munitions.
