Woman Who Gives New Life
.Tu Old Clothes Is Aiding
In Conservation Movement.

In these times when there is a short.
age not only of food materials, but also
Of textile stuffs, the woman who can
clothe herself and her family at a
minimum expense is "doing her bit"
lust as much as the woman whose
garbage can fills slowly or thea man
who makes two potatoes grow where
none grew before, declares Berry, Dix
on of the Colorado State Agricultural
college.
Many articles of clothing that in or
binary times would be discarded with
out a second thought may, with lit.
tie care, be freshened up and made to
serve another period of usefulness.
Wooden goods may be satisfactorily
cleansed by washing in. warm water
with soap solution or soap bark. Soap
bark is prepared for use by letting five
cents worth stand in two quarts Of
water for an hour and then straining it
into lukewarm water in which the
material is to be washed. Water Of
llG Sulllc temperature SliOulu DC uoCd
for both washing and rinsing. Press
woolens when almost dry, on the wrong
side, with warm iron.
Most grease spots may be removed
with naphtha soap and warm water.
Chemical or dry cleaning will remove
grease spots by dissolving the fat. The
cleaning liquid may be ether, chloro-
form, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline,
naphtha or benzine. The last three
should be used in the open air if pos
sible. They must be used away from
q fire or flame Of any kind.
On silks or satins, rub the grease
spot with thin paste made of benzine
and carbonate of magnesia. The ben
zine evaporates and the magnesia will
absorb the grease and can be brushed
off. Very often dry French chalk or
powdered magnesia alone will absorb
the grease, several applications some
times being necessary. A warm iron
and blotting paper will remove some
grease spots.

WEDDINGS ON SHORT NOTICE
How Missionaries in the Early Days
Obtained Their Wives.

There is touch Of comedy about
the businesslike way in which several
of the early missionaries went to work
to obtain wives before they left the
shores of New England, writes the
Rev. Francis g. Clark in Youths Com
panion. The call to go to, Hawaii was
somewhat sudden and imperative. AS
q rule, only one vessel that would take
passengers sailed in the course Of a
year for Honolulu, and of course it
went by the way Of Cape Horn. Often
not more than q few days or weeks
elapsed between the decision Of the
young theologian to accept the COM
mission Of the American board and
the sailing Of the packet ship. But
the rule Of the board was that the
applicants must be married before
they sailed for the field. Ay, there
was the rub, for in many cases they
had not decided whom to ask to be
their brides.
But the time and tide would not
wait for long courtship, and so
brothers or cousins or roommates
were asked to intercede with eligible
maidens, whom perhaps the prospec-
tive bridegrooms had never seen. 1t
is even said that the young theologians
haunted female seminaries," and that
the good, pretty and pious girls were
lined up for their inspection.
Although this may be an exagger-
alton, it is certain that several Of the
brides who in the early days went
with their missionary husbands to
Hawaii were wooed by proxy, at least
during the preliminary stages of the
wooing. 1t should be added that, so
far as is known, all those marriages
turned out most happily, both for the
young couples and for the work In
which they were engaged. Their high
purpose, their common sacrifice and
their great mission in life drew them
close together.

NEW METHODS OF FIGHTING
Modern Warfare Is Carried On Under

digging in" has new and impor-
tant significance and the fantastic le-
gend of Darius Green is long forgotten
in the light of practical achievement
by the bird-man of today. The cavalry
of the earth has been supplanted by
the cavalry Of the air. The actual
fighting of modern warfare is conduct
ed under water, under ground and far
up among the clouds.
Yes, there have been drastic changes
in military tactics and military equip
ment since the old days when we used
to drill in the armory over the grocery
store in the little old home town.
What we tried so hard to learn of mill
itary lore in those days would be
classed as low comedy by a recruiting
officer of this changeful period. But,
all the same, one can't help wishing
that one were somewhere in France at
this minute with good old Company G.,
til regiment, of the National
Guard, and we'd make a reasonable
wager that, of the survivors of that or.
ganization, if given an opportunity to
go, there wouldn't be a Stacker in the

Why coIors Are Associated With vari-
ous Characteristics.

The association of colors with men
tai and moral characteristics is a mat
ter of imagination, although the SYM
bolism is psychologically sound and is
founded on easily traced analogies.
Black is associated with crime because
black represents darkness, which wide
ly serves as cover for crime and Is
also representative Of ignorance, which
is the real cause Of crime. White
stands for purity because it represents
light, or enlightenment, and also, per-
haps, because it represents cleanness
and freedom from blemish. And it Is
easy to see why red should represent
courage, because it is the color Of
blood and may be taken to signify
vitality. Also a courageous man is
supposed to be willing to shed his
blood, If necessary, in the defense of
right and justice.

KEEP MILK IN HOT WEATHER
Whether Intended for Table or Cream
cry 1t Must Be Sweet to Secure
Highest Prices.

It Is no trick at all to keep milk
sweet in cold weather, but in hot
weather it must be handled very care
fully. Whether the milk or cream Is
intended for the table, the creamery,
or the milk market, 1t must be sweet
if it is to bring the best price. To
keep the milk sweet just two simple
things must be very carefully looked
after:
/. It must be cooled as completely
and as quickly after milking as posi-.
BILE; and,
2. Absolute cleanness Of pals, cans,
and cows must be secured. Sourin9
takes place because little invisible
plants called bacteria get into it In
dirt or by lurking in the corners and
seams of poorly cleaned pals and cans.
The remedy is plain. Keep the bac-
terra out by using seamless pals and
cans and seeing that absolutely no
dirt or dust gets into the milk in the
stable or anywhere else.

GOWNS Are SIMPLE

Elaborate Evening Dress Abandoned
in War Time as Matter of Both
Taste and Economy.

The Parisiennes have, since the be-
ginning of this terrible war, led the
way in the important matter of prac-
teal fashions. And this has been no
tably the case in connection with eve
ming costumes.
1t is safe to say that 80 per cent OF
the really elaborate evening gown mod
els which have been created in Paris
since the autumn of 1914 have been de-
signed specially for foreign buyers !;
the Parisiennes themselves have insist
emily worn demi-toiletS, very dainty
and beautiful dresses, but never the
full evening costume of happier days.
And now that America has Joined
hands with the allies, this practical
idea of wearing pretty demi-toilets In
the home will expand, writes Idalia de
Villiers, a Paris correspondent.
Take for example the charming mod.
ell by Premet, shown in the sketch
This is quite the latest thing, and yet
1t is a dress which an anxious mother
or sister might wear with perfect pro-
priety, even though an empty chair at
the family dinner table bears testi'
mony to the patriotic enthusiasm OF
some loved one.
This is the style Of evening dress
which the ParisieEnes are wearing II
their own homes, in the wonderful cha
teaux which are scattered all over
beautiful France and in Paris itself.

! INV GAIN CURRENCY,


Who starts the silly rumorsa
DIR. Charles A Mercler, the cele-
brated brain specialist, asks the
question in a prominent London
daily and then proceeds to
evolve his own answer. He does
. it something like this:
Shakespeare has spoken OF
rumor as necessarily false.
'Rumor is a pipe
Blown by surmises, jealousies,
conjectures;
And of so easy and so plain
stop
That the blunt monster with I'M
counted heads,
The still discordant multitude,
Can play upon it.
"fBazaar rumor' is common
term in India" says Doctor Mer-
cier, land bazaar rumors are
sometimes true, Indeed, there
are fairly well authenticated in
stances of rumors of important
events being communicated with
, incredible speed to very great
distances, both in India and in
Africa; and these rumors,
though usually vague, have
sometimes been true in material
particulars.
""Thus it Is said that the out
break Of the Indian mutiny was
. current as a bazaar rumor'
days before the news could have
Travelled by any means then
known in distant parts Of In
dia.
"Falsity is not a cardinal fea-
ture of rumor.
st never originates in a news
paper, even in a paragraph COM
municated with all reserve
"Rumor is very generally be-
lieved. ;
: "a wish, a hope, a forecast, a
probability, a supposition on
some subject of intense and uni
versal interest is expressed and,
perhaps, imperfectly heard. The
gist of the matter makes an i'm
preston so strong as to swamp
the preparatory phrase. 1t is re-
peated from mouth to mouth
with increasing assurance and
. lessening difidence. Its interest
is so intense that everyone who
hears it is eager to repeat it and
cannot wait to be sure that he
has got the story right and so
the rumor spreads"
Doctor MERCER adds that
; "Dame Rumor" should be a sub
ject of psychological study.

WHOLESOME WATER FOR cow
Whether In Barn or Pasture, Animals
Should Have Free Access to Fresh
Supply Twice Daily.

The average cow under normal con.
ditions will drink about nine or ten
gallons of water daily. Whether in
the pasture or in the barn, cows should
have access to an abundance Of fresh
water twice daily. Unless there are
good flowing springs, the best water
comes from wells and may be pumped
by windmills or gas engines. 1t is un-
wholesome for them to drink from
stagnant ponds or streams, but clean,
running streams are not objection
able.
