Knee Breaches for All Men
May Be Style After the War

Ono of the possible results of the
great war is the reform Of mems dress.
The trousers that bag at the knee are
coming into 1isrepute, owing to The
fact that so many million men wear
knee brecchcs as they fight.
Even the kits Of the Scotch, which
there has been a disposition to ridi-
tule, are found to be most useful on
the fighting line, says the Columbus
Dispatch For men Of action knee
breeches are more comfortable and
less cumbersome, and soldiers are ask
ing why men have been content all
these years to wear stovepipe c;sings
on their legs. And they are the men
who are going to exert influence after
the war. Their Discrimination to re-
turn to trousers and their example, to-
gethcr with the fact that other peo-
pie have become accustomed to seeing
men in knee breeches, may put trou-
sers out of business altogether.
There is going to be new world
after the war, and knee breeches for
ren may be Il part Of it.

CornmeaI Is Cheap and
Has a High Food Value,
Says Expert on Dietetics

Include cOrnmeal in the diet and
learn to like it. The qualities Of corn
meal have, been underestimated, says
Mrs. Mary P. Van lille, dean Of the di-
vision of home economics in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
Bolted cOrnmeal is now cheap as
compared with other cereals.
Cornmeal has high food value.
Although the bolted meal does not sup,
ply so much tissue-building material
as wheat flour, it does supply more
starch and fat. The unbolted corn
meal, which is Of good flavor and is
preferred by many, has more tissue
building material, as we'll as more
starch and fat, than, the wheat flour.
For long time pellagra was sup
posed to be contracted through eating
cornmeal. Scientific investigation
has proved that this is false and there
is no danger from eating ordinary
quantities.
Cornmeal can be used successfully
in a variety Of ways. AS breakfast
cereal, fruit mush, corn bread, or as
corn griddle cakes it is a success from
a nutritive as we'll as an economic
standpoint. A satisfactory bread may
be made by using one-half wheat flour
and one-half cornmeal.

Small FIocks Best

My experience Of over ten years in
hens lay and do better when kept in
small flOcks, says writer. l have
noticed repeatedly that, when during
the breeding period, I placed part of
my hens in pens of ten or twelve, the
hens so penned, always laid better
than the hens kept in the general
flock. r..
When kept in small focks, hens
keep in a more thrifty state of health.
In small f1ocks, contagious diseases
such as roup or cholera can be more
effectively treated, without subjecting
all the chickens ON the place to the
contagion. And besides, when kept in
small focks scattered over the farm,
the range offers a large supply and
better variety Of food, thus effecting
quite a saving.
Fifty hens in flock should be the
limit. Where farm carries 200 or
lcore hens it will be found more prof
liable to house them on the colony
plan than to keep them in one aock.
Of course, when so kept, the labor OF
caring for the flock is much greater,
but the increased reproduction anu
the saving in food will more than COM
pensate for the increased labor.
The main reason why so many fail
in the chicken business is because the
hens are kept in large flocks. Most OF
those who fail, have, in the past, been
successful in managing a small flock,
and this success has been instrumental
in causing them to embark in the bust
ness on big scale. 1 say unreserved-
ly that the man who decides to keep
1000 hens will stand better chance
of succeeding if he keeps them in ~
flocks of so, than. will the beginner
who attempts to manage 1000 hens
in one flock. The beginner who at
tempts to keep 1000 hens in one flock
will find his experience in man
aging small flock Of little value.
On the other hand the man who starts
in business with 20 small flocks can
apply the experience gained In man
aging his one small flock.
The man who keeps his hens in
small flocks can keep close watch on
them. Whenever disease manifests it.
self it is quickly noticed and the SICK
birds promptly removed. In the care
of large tlocks, however, diseased birds
may not be noticed for some time.

Timing the Typist.

Inventors have tried for years to put
n counter on the typewriter to estimate
the speed Of the typist, but the efforts
have always been confined to a count
of the words written. A recently pat
ented device, called a cyclometer,
counts every stroke which the typist
makes on the keyboard. 1t is fastened
to the escapement wheel of the type
writer, says the Popular Science
Monthly. This wheel does not move
when the carriage is showed backward
and forward.
One firm employing so typists found
that it's work was below normal by cy-
clometer count and later that it had
some very rapid typists and some very
slow ones. The rate of pay had always
been based on the number OF years OF
service. and many Of the slow ones
were being paid for the work done by
the rapid operators. This, Of course,
was quickly adjusted.

War On Rats and Mice Is
Urged as Means of Aiding
Food Conservation Efforts

Rats and mice have too much their
own way in some households. Their
unhampered excursions into pantries
and larders will menace food cOnser-
walton efforts this year. Get num-
Der of traps and fight them. Persist
cnt trapping will put an end to these
raiders, according to specialists in the
biological survey of the United States
department of agriculture. PoisOns
properly safeguarded are effective, but
their use in dwellings usually is unde-
sirable because none is known which,
when eaten by a rat, will prevent de-
composition Of the body.
For both rats and mice the common
guillOtine or "chOke" traps with a
wooden base and wooden bait pan are
recommended rather than those having
metal base and pan. These traps
should be set with light trigger.
Oatmeal usually is the most effective
bait. A few grains of it should lie on
the trigger pan and Il few more be
scattered near the trap. A change of

pleasures. Care-frec, happy youthtime
is theirs but once. 1t should be made
the most OF. Aftcr-life hold much that
will cause them to be serious enough.
Parents should make an effort to
keep the home so attractive for their
daughter that she would be pleased to
invite her young friends there. 1t is Il
great satisfaction for parents to know
just what kind of companions of both
sexes their daughter takes to. The
home roof is always a safe meeting
place. Those who are denied cOmpan-
desire for bright, happy friends about
them, becoming mOrOse and dissatiS-
fed. The happy girl grows into a con-
tented satisfied woman. She has had
what joys happy girhOod has had to
offer and Is content to enter the most
serious path of life. She who never
had her youthful fling feels that the
world owes her something; that she
has been cheated Of her rightful dues.
Those with whom Il girl is surrounded
and cares thrust upon her make her a
dull girl. Use caution in checking
laughter on 4 girls lips. 1t comes from
her heart. Parents should give their
daughters all the pleasures in reason
which they can afford. Let them have,
if you have nothing else to leave them,
the legacy Of Il joyous youthtime.

He Knew His Master.

Persons coming out of the Grand
Central stations carriage side in New
York recently noticed a little white fox
terrier with such q Glenn cont trim

that he won countless words of greet
ing from the passengers. Perhaps even
petted him-men, women and children

waiting automobiles. The dog was
merely annoyed by the attention. for
he continued to watch the doors alert
Iy and neither growled nor wagged his
tail at the kindly disposed passengers.
Little girls offered him candy. excel
iently dressed women asked him what
his name was and men with luxurious
automobiles tried to whistle him into
q life of luxury. He seemed to be a
stone pup. At quarter past five
man in blue overalls and carrying a
large, oily bundle and glistening dinner
box came out from the baggage room.
The hitherto stationary dog leaped into

Health Hints.

Wearing the same weight under
clothing the year around will save
you Il lot Of colds.
Dress cool when you walk and warn
when you ride.
Your nose, not your mouth, was
given you to breathe through.
Clean skin, clean socks, clean I'M
derwear every day.
Don't sit still with wet feet Walk
until you have n chance to change.
Never let day pass without cover
ing four miles on foot.
See how high you can hold your
head and how deeply you can breathe
whenever you are out Of doors.
Getting mad makes black marks on
the health.
Envy, jealousy and wrath will ruin
any digestion.
Nature never punished a man for
getting his legs tired. She has pun
ished many for getting their nerves
exhausted.

Our lives are albums written through,
With good or i'll. with false or true.
AND as the blessed angels turn
The pages of our years,
God grant they read the good with smiles.
And blot the i'll with tears.
Putting an old head on young shOul-
tlers never has been accomplished, ana
never will be. How could one except
an innocent, playful kitten to be as
wise rs those Of it's kind who have
summered and wintered life? How
could one expect the little lambs gam
boiling over the lea to fear the fate Of
those who have gone before, or the
little speckled trout to be as wary as
the older fish that have successfully
lodged many bait set for their I'M
doing?
Youth knows none of life's perils. 1t
is satisfied with the pleasures of to-
shine and joys are always to last. Ones
duty is to warn the young where the
shoals and pitfalls lie. But will they
heed? Not they. Warnings and scold-
ings come in one ear and go out the
other. That's the prOclivity Of youth
not to want to hear anything unpleas
ant. While girls should not be brought
up with the idea that they are human
butterflies and joys are all that is
worth while in life, the cares that are
thrust upon their young minds should
be offset with an equal amount Of

Floating Steel Curtains
Proposed to Protect Ships
From Attacks by Subboats

TO render merchantmen and trans
ports immune to submarine attacks
by means Of floating steel curtains
towed alongside, is an interesting pro-
posal that has been submitted to the
government for consideration, and
which is described in an article accom-
panied by full-page illustration and

eight-inch plate fastened to it longi-
tudinally like keel slightly below
that at which submarine missile
travels. The barriers would
be lowed on either side of a vessel, or
fleet, at distance of 200 or 300 feet
For this purpose sea-going tugs, or
staunch yachts of slight draft, could
be employed. It is estimated that in
good weather powerful tug could tow
a 6OO-foot barrier at a rate of about
Is miles an hour. A fleet could pro-
tect itself by sailing in two staggered
rows, each vessel towing screen
which would shield the ship following
it. The curtain guarding the leading
steamers, of course, would be handled
by tugs. Under present conditions the
plan would only be employed in the
submarine zones, but, if necessity die
tated, ships could be conveyed all the
way from port Of departure to destina-

Prospecting for Platinum.

owing to it's use in the chemical
branches of the munitions industry. 1t

Tiny Actress First Leader in the
Suffrage Movement in Japan

There must always be a first woman,
speeches in Japan is so tiny she looks
like humming bird, a little purple,
bronze and ivory humming bird. Such
little hands and feet and 1.-the little
body seem to belong on Japanese fan.
But this is no smiling bric-a-brac lady.
She is the leader and spokeswoman OF
the passionate longing for freedom
which, she AYERS, is in the hearts of
all the women Of Japan.
In a public hall in the center of
Tokyo City, Madam Kokoma Kimura
made the first public woman suffrage
speech in that city, saying that the
law which forbids women to hear po-
litical speeches should be changed for
women need the vote. They need a
chance to get into business and to use
their talents.
If it is some little achievement to
lead the suffrage cause in old Tokyo,
it is no more of a feat after all than

and Chekhov to the Orient. Madam

N..* }n~t~se
: "A Certain French Port" :;

There is a certain port in France,
We may not know it's name,
And there the little wavelets dance,
The sun shines just the same,
On ships that fly the starry flag
AS though at home their anchors drag:
And jollyboats glide to and fro,
Filled with the boys in blue
Who show the way for row on row
Of lads in khaki, too.
You'd almost be inclined to say
Twas Hampton Roads or New York bay,
The streets may seem trifle odd,
The language somewhat strange,
But silent speech Of smile and nod
Has an extensive range;
And wheresoe'er their course extends,
The eyes they meet are eyes of friends.
The seas that knew Decatur's men
Now know his men once more,
And what was in Paul Jones ken
Appears along the shore;
And up above perhaps they gaze
From some sdereal bridge these days.

once more one to be feared in the
American league.
Discussing Mack and his newly
made team recently. Bill Donovan
said that he would rather play almost
any club in the league than send his
men into contest against the Mack
men.
"They won't win any pennant this
year." Donovan commented, ''but
they're going to fight mighty hard for
every game they go' into. From this
time on they're going to improve. I'm
a mighty mistaken student Of this ma
tional pastime If the Athletics are not
found kicking considerable dust
around before the end of the 1918 cam
paign gets here"
Donovan figures and so does every
other baseball manager who has had a
of the finest players the minor leagues
have yielded in many day. He also
believes " lit tine pQuIf OF any short
stop in the American league, with the
possible exception Of Roger Packin-
paugh, his own short fielder. Second
base is problem, but McInnis is fully
the equal, perhaps the superior, Of
any man doing first base duty.
"There isn't thing wrong with that
outfield of Connie Mack's," Donovan
ruefully remarked. Il only wish
had a pair of those birds working for
me. might have a chance to win a
pennant before he makes the going
so rough"
Where is the manager who wouldn't
like to have Bush Myers and Noyes
pitching for him; and where, oh,
where can you find big Lacquer who
wouldn't spend several thousand dol
lars for Wallie Schang?
The foundation has been built for
another fine baseball team In Phila-
delphia. Managers and baseball men
everywhere believe it Is due.

Cornstarch Pudding.

This may be made equally as we'll

same in price as cornstarch. Scald n
pint Of milk. add two tablespoonfuls
of cornstarch we'll mixed with four
tablespoonful of sugar and pinch of
salt, cook until smooth and the starch
is we'll cooked, then add small tea
spoonful Of vanilla, beaten egg and a
sliced banana or two. Put into serv-
ing dishes and when we'll chilled serve
with sugar and thin cream or top milk.
The bananas may be used to decorate
the top, adding them just before serv-
ing if desired. A finer grained cake will
result If q tablespoonful of cornstarch
is added to the flour and sifted with
it, subtracting a small portion Of the
flour as given by the recipe. The thin
ner a cake will bake without falling,
the more delicate and tender will be

but is an interpreter for woman, the
feminist poet of her country.
This feminist movement has wings
and is about to make a great flight
over all Japan, Madam Kimura is sure,
"for Japanese women are very clever
she explains. She has interviewed
many statesmen in Japan on the SUBJ
ject of woman's freedom and among
them, Yakio Ozaki, former minister OF
law in the constitutional government.
He is, she says, personally for the en-
franchisement of women. In her own
broken speech, she explains: Il tell
them about woman suffragette. They
like eet. But all are afraid to speak.
All Japan likes woman suffragette, Oh,

Flashlights.

Sometimes might makes it
mighty uncomfortable for right.
The trouble with public life is
that it isn't nearly SO public, as
rule, as it should be.
Success is just doing little
bit better today the things that
were done fairly we'll yesterday.
It's easy enough to get along
in this world. It's only the fell
lows who want to do it the east
est way who make hard work out
Of it.
The trouble with the man who
walls that he was led astray is
that he probably made no partic-
ular effort to travel in the right
way.
AS rule, gratitude, before
and after a favor has been done
shows about as much difference

the shortage of bottles has not been
