Difference IN MILK PRICES
Until Recently Product Has Been
Paid for Without Regard to Quail
lty-Farmers Organizing.

Discussing the cost of producing
milk by dairymen and the cost of dis
tribution by dealers, Prof. Fred Ras-
mussen, head of the dairy husbandry
department at the Pennsylvania state
college, recently asserted that milk
has until very recently been paid for
without regard to quality, the cheapest
and poorest milk determining the
price. The farmer, he said, has not
made use of collective bargaining in
the sale of milk, and as an individual
has accepted whatever price was Of
fered.
1.-THE fact that milk has always been
obtainable farther away from the mar,
ket at less price than the difference
in the cost of transportation" said
Professor Rasmussen, "has made ii
difficult to get rise in price of milk
for the farmer. The farmer as class
is slow to change and slow to organ
ize. It has been the history through
out the world that cooperation among
farmers develops only under economic
pressure.
"The fact that milk producers In
the eastern part of the United States
are today organizing to save their in
dustry from financial ruin is the best
evidence of the economic pressure the
industry is suffering. In the solving
of the crisis in the milk business today
many adjustments must be made"

digestion and a normal amount Of ply
steal exercise in normal atmosphere.
Life is factor scientific medicine
cannot measure. It forbids the human
body from being compared with an In
organic machine or test tube expert
ments in the laboratory.
The digestive tract and its many
glands that vary in their powers to
prepare food for the assimilation OF
the body, are governed by the nervous
system. They vary greatly in their life
power to produce digestive secretions.
For the reasons given each Individual,
after once realizing that meats, fat,
starches and sugar are necessary III
various proportions to maintain his
health, will have to make an intensive
study of what digests, so as to give
him the best health and keep up his
weight to give him energy, and permit
him to sleep, and to be Of good cheer.
You will always find that people diff
fer from each other in their selection

large proportion of vegetable food, 9TH
ers doing better on a reasonable
amount of meat and carbohydrates or
starch, while others have to avoid
starches and sugar to prevent violent
Indigestion and i'll health.
We often find powerful men who live
on very little food, while many rrail,
! lily nourished people have good appe-
: tites and eat plenty. These things are
hard to explain. The laws of nature
are so profound that even today in this
scientific age we find the digestion OF
people differs so that we must at pres
ent attribute it to the variation of life
force.
From our actual experience in life,
after long devotion to the feeding OF
people, we have learned that a mixed
diet is essential to good health. The
practical experience of the Individual
must be a factor in guiding him in
| the selection of foods and the quantity
he can eat.

Bobby Wallace.

scores before Lajoie broke into the
limelight, is back again in the role of
utility infelder with the Cards.
His comeback marks fms to 10
year absence from the National league,
for he jumped from the Cardinals back
in 1902 to cast his fortunes with the
Browns, who were making their first
start in st. Louis. His long years Of
service with the Browns and his ulti-
mate release is remembered by all fans
today. 1t seemed only natural that Wall
lace should step down and out, and
when he was made a member of the
Wichita (Western league) club the ma
jors bid him good-by for all time.
But Wallace is back, and the own
ers of the Cardinals figure that he is
a valuable asset, in which they are
more than likely to be upheld by his
work whenever the occasion arises to
use him in the lineup.
The return of the veteran Wallace
recalls the fact that 1917 has seen a
number Of players in the veteran class
return to the big tent while hundreds
of youngsters are pining their young
lives away in the bush leagues for a
chance. Ping Bodie, purchased last
winter from the San Francisco club by
Connie Mack, has made good with a
vim since his return. Harry Walter
and Charley Deal, brought back from
the minor leagues by the Cubs, and
Jim Thorpe, recalled by the Giants,
and later sold to the Reds, are other
examples.

Fiction Writers Must Seek
New Characters After War

It is about time that our novelists
bestirred themselves and prepared for
the after-war period. Peace may
break out and find them totally IN
ready, says the London Globe.
At present, of course, all is well with
this industrious class. With heroic
subalterns and smooth-speaking,
square-headed spies and lovely anna
teur nurses to put through their we'll
practiced PAGES, they can carry on.
But the time will come when they
will have to find an entirely fresh set
of puppets. They cannot go back to
the prewar characters. Never partic-
ularly realistic, these will be utterly
impossible in the new world after the

Girl Conductor Beats Literalist.

A well-known provincial paper IN
England makes itself responsible for
the following story: The tramcar was
hopelessly overcrowded, and several
people who had achieved the upper
deck were transgressing all regula-
tons by standing. "Now, then," called
out the girl conductor, with emphasis,
"you can't stand on top" "Well," said
one literalist, smiling blandly, as he
peered down the steps, 1--WE are stand
ing, whether we can or not" The girl
answered nothing, but promptly
pressed button. The car jumped for
ward, and the literalist involuntarlly
took seat on the floor. "There," said
the girl, apparently in good humor'
quoting the barrister in famous play.
"you think you can, but you can't. -

BaIfours Impressions of America.

DdllOhi Soo'SiiS ~
Mr.. Balfour has said in public sim
gularly little about his experiences in
America, but some day he may consent
to record his impressions. Should he
do so we may look for an entertaining
comparison between the house of COM
mons and the house Of representatives,
Here, for example, is characteristic
circumstance which the reporters seem
to have missed:
The first stage Of the war crisis was
a kind of Baby Month in Washington,
Children, and sometimes very young
children, were taken into the visitors
galleries in order that they might car
ry into later life the memory Of being
present at an historic sitting, and on
the day of Mr.. Balfour's address to the
house a good many members Of con-
gress had children with them on the
floor. The one congresswoman, Miss
Rankin, was accompanied by two jul
venile relatives. 1t was remarked that
some of the children in the galleries
were kept, overcome with sleep, to the
end of the long night sitting at which
the war vote was Observation-Disclosures

First Newspaper Woman.

: 1t is said that the first newspaper
woman was an American, Mrs. Anne
Royal, who was not only the first
woman journalist, but the first woman
to own and edit a newspaper. 1t is

originated the idea Of interviews"
She was born in Maryland in 1909, put
her first printing press on Capitol ailt
in Washington, D. c., and published a

larry tuberculosis.
2. Never allow a COW to be excited
by fast driving, abuse or unnecessar.
disturbance.
8. Clean the entire body Of the COW
daily. Hair in the region Of the uddel

Ink Spots in Books.

She bought little oxalic acid, diluted
it with cold water and painted it over
the ink spots with fine camers hair

blotting paper to the stained part, and
absorbed the stain with the liquid.

Value of Honey.

"Honey, one of the most nutritious
and delicate Of foods, should be eaten
more than it is" writes cooking ex-

to be unadulterated, and will keep one
free from sore throat and bronchial
troubles. Honey has been used as
cosmetic. The result is finer tex
'tured complexion, glowing color,

from becoming an auctioneer. Strange.
enough, it was a milliner who made
