NO EXCUSE FOR ANY WASTE:
Be Used to Advantage by House
wife, Say Experts.

Do you know
That every bit of uneaten cereal can
be used to thicken soups, stews or
gravies?
That stale bread can be used as the
basis for many attractive meat dishes,
hot breads and desserts?
That every ounce of skim milk or
whole milk contains valuable nourish-
ment?
Government food experts are asking
these questions of all housewives.
Use every drop of milk to drink or
to add nOurishment to cereals, soups.
sauces and other foods, they urge. II
you do not want milk to sour, keep it
cool, clean and covered continually.
Remember, too, that sour milk, butter
milk and sour cream are valuable i'll
cookery, so do not waste any. Sour
milk and buttermilk can be used with
soda in making hot breads, or sour
milk can be turned easily into cottage
cheese, cream cheese, or clabber. Sour
cream is good shortening IN making
cakes and cookies and useful for salad
dressing and gravies for meat.

The Geo}ooistsy Clock.

The fossil shells of the early, inver-
tebrases are always of great imporr
lance to biologists. for they indicate
the period in which the rock beds that
contain them were formed---inl other
Words the age of the rock. Every
fosSilliferous rock bed contains char
acteristic forms, or groups of forms,
that determine the period in which it
was mud or sand. The economic i'm
portance of geology has been repeated
" shown- In the earlier exploitation
of anthracite coal, thousands of dot
lars were wasted searching for ceal
beds in New York. until the geeiogist
of the state Showed that the beds in
that state could Not contain coal,
since the fossils showed that they be-
longed TO the Devonian, age, whereas
the Pennsylvania anthracite coal
beds are of the Carboniferouss age, a
much later period. That discovery
stopped the useless, expenditure. The
study of the animal and plant remains
that are embedded in the, rocks. has;
thus become an important part of ge-
ology, and although the specialists en-
gagged in the study are. few, their work
is of the highest Importance.

MORAL INERTIA IS; TO BLAME
the Kind Of Life That One Really
Wants to Live.

How difficult it is to live up to our
good resolutions we all know from
experience, but fact that we do not,
as rule, take into consideration is
that moral inertia is as much respon-
sible for this condition as is tempta-
ton In its varied forms. Granted that
we have the desire to lead good lives
and that we prefer that our thoughts
should run in clean, clear channels
rather than in muddy, murky ones we
do not always have the moral strength
necessary to put these desires into eff
feet, observes the Charleston News
and Courier. We believe. perhaps; that
we are stronger than we really are and
that although we may already be
launched upon dangerous sea we can,
make a safe haven at will. That we
often misjudge our power of accom-
plishment in this direction, however.
is not to be denied as circumstances
demonstrate when we make the at

that threaten us. On the other hand,
we can gather strength from our trials
and unhappy experience if we will,

and the Encouragement they prompt.

Hest days. and in the Book of Num-

fire, by water. by poison or drinking
water IN which, deities had been
washed. by chewing rice, by hot oil,
by red-hot iron. and by drawing two
images out of jar. Livingstone de-

WASHINTON-(S Especial corresponds
ence. )-There has been formed in the
district of Congressman Walter M.
Chandler of New York, an organization
known as the Patriotic Service League.
The league has for its object the coor-
dinafion and direction on the non
military side of the patriotic services
OF both sexes and all ages. Mr.. Chan
dler's good will has been enlisted in
the work, and he states that the scope
of the league is to be extended so as to
include other districts and other states.
The advisory council of the league con-
taIns such names as Charles E. Hughes.
George w. Wickersham, and Alton B.
Parker, which insures the successful
direction of its activities, and Con-
gresham Chandler is confident that
its beneficial effects will soon be wide
ly observed
The Red Mans Friend
The American Indians have friend
in Representative T. A. Chandler of
Oklahoma. There is no race Of peo-
pie in the world" says Mr.. Chandler,
that has shown more progress in civ
ilization than the North American In
dian" While we used to point with
horror to the cruel methods of Indian
warfare we can no longer say that the
Indians have monopoly in that meth
cd of fighting. When we read of the
ravages in Belgium, the slaughter of
the Armenians, etc. Mr.. Chandler de-
clares that the Indian on the warpath
was indeed tempered with mercy. Mr..
Chambers knowledge of his subject
was so we'll known to his colleagues
that he was selected as the orator of
the day upon the recent unwilling of
the statute to Sequoyah in Statuary
Hall at the Ctpitol. That piece of
work is one of Oklahoma's contribu-
lions to the Hall, and Mr.. Chandler
seized the occasion to pay a glowing
tribute to the Red Man.

become of the old cow? The general
opinion was that we had seen the last
of her. On the morning Of the fourth
day, father, my brother and took a
walk over the field to see if we could
find any trace of her. We saw many
terrible sights. Dead soldiers were
lying around thick; dead horses. and
many cowskins and heads; from this
last we soon came to the conclusion
that our COW had been killed for food
like the rest, so we gave her up. AS
we were eating supper one evening a
week or more after the battle, we
heard a familiar believing in the
street. Everybody sprang from the
table and rushed out There stood our
dear old COW, looking as happy as it is
possible for cow to look at being
home again. Next day we discov-
cred that she had a bullethole in her
neck and one in her side. She was
not severely hurt, however, and both
bullets came out eventually. We found
out later that all the cows in that par
ticular field had got out in some way
the first day of the fight and had wan
dered off about ten miles from town
beyond the firing line. After the bat
tie they all found their way back to
town.-Albertus McCreary, in Nc.

REMINDERS OF WAR
Historic Spots That Are Always
Sought by the Visitor to the
National Capital.

A POINT of pathetic interest to
~ visitors to the national capital
n is Arlington national cemetery,
where sleep thousands of Union
and Confederate warriors, and within
those hallowed precincts stands the
ancient Custis-Lee mansion in all its
old-time glory. Arlington is but few
minutes ride from Washington, across
the Potomac, and thence to the Vir-
ginia hills in the near background, dot
ted here and there by the leveled re-
mains of wartime defenses, including
Fort Whipple, now Fort Myer, where
are quartered several troops of regular
cavalry and batteries of light artillery.
To the north of Arlington is the ven
cradle Chain bridge, another relic of
the Civil war, where, in 1861, the Dis
trict of Columbia militia was lined up
to prevent invasion of Washington
from that direction. To the south of
Arlington is the site of old Long bridge,
that spanned the Potomac during the
war period, and which was crossed
and recrossed many times by the forces
Of Uncle Sam. The original bridge, de-
molished some years ago, has been re-
placed by two modern steel structures
forming part Of the highway and rail-
way connection with Alexandria. seven
miles away.
This old Virginia city is always a
point Of interest for the thousands Of
visitors to Washington. The old hotel
in which Colonel Ellsworth was killed
by Jackson, the slave pen, the colonial
Braddock house, old Christ church,
which was attended by General Wash
ington, the Confederate cemetery and
monuments, are some of the remain
ing features of early days in old Alex
andria.
On the Potomac river, south OF
Washington, reached by steamboat,
are other points Of wartime interest,
including the monuments at Point
Lookout, where thousands of Confeder-
ate prisoners Of war were held in
Point Lookout the government has
erected an imposing monument IN
memory of the more than three thou
sand Southern soldiers who died there
while prisoners. Another monument
to the prisoner dead was erected by
the state of Maryland, while the gen.
eral government has constructed at a
point in full view of Chesapeake bay
a memorial to the men in blue who
died while on duty there.
Beyond the mouth of the Potomac,
where it empties into the broad waters
Of the Chesapeake, piled by passenger
steamers from Washington, is the ia
nous stretch of water where the Con-
federate ram Merrimac and the little
Union Monitor engaged in a death
grapple in Hampton roads. On the
shore line from Hampton roads is To-
Gated Fort Monroe, famous in war
time history, and nearby, the National
Soldiers home, at Hampton. Further
southwark lies Norfolk, Va, the scene
of stirring activities in the tragic days
which marked the period of the Civil
war.
