Lost His Protection.

A Kansas City man, who is very &C
tive in the affairs of his lodge, was
passing the week end at Excelsior
Springs, a nearby mineral water re-
sort. He confided to friend that he
would like TO scrape an acquaintance
with a striking looking woman they
were both admiring.
why don't you try?" asked the
friend.
Couldn't think of flirting with her,"
came the Mortified reply. Her hus-
band and l are brother lodge men,
bers."
The next week end the friend again
went to the springs. On one of the
prominent promenades he soon saw
the lodge member and the striking
looking woman they had admired,
walking arm In arm, and apparently
much taken up with each other. AT
the first chance he asked his friend
for an explanation.
Thought her husband was a lodge
brother of yours" he said.
"0h, that's all right" was the an
swer. 81 looked him up on the books

Diaries Average Good.

That Wisconsin dairy conditions are
Dairy and Food Commissioner George
J. Weigle, who made public the results
of a statewide investigation.
For the year ending June So 1917,
the various inspectors and members of
the dairy and food department have
visited 210 cities for the purpose of
collecting samples of milk and cream
offered for sale" says Commissioner
Weigle AT the same time inspection
has been made of the places where the
milk was produced and handled.
"In these 210 cities, 691 samples of
milk were collected from nearly as
many dealers or persons selling milk.
In a few cases duplicate samples were
collected from the same dealer If more
than one wagon was used. The aver
age per cent of fat in the Sol samples
was 3.S per cent. Only seven samples,
or 1.01 per cent of all samples collect
ed contained less than per cent of
fat and 295 or 1859 per cent con-
tanned from 4 per cent to SO per cent
Of fat. The BAT samples offered for
sale as cream contained an average of
PAL per cent of fat, with 20 or $40
per cent of the samples containing less
than Is per cent of fat, 1t was found
that so per cent of the cream samples
below Is were bought In one large city
and some of the other ten lOw-testing
samples were bought from parties sell

Seek Aid of Motorists.

10 your bit and help Hoover by
carrying home the farm food products
you neeG," is the slogan of Il bulletin
which is being sent to every automo-
bile dealer and garage owner in the
state by the Good Roads Association
of Wisconsin.
With 10000 automobiles in Wis
consin and their carrying capacity the
association figures that an enormous
tonnage of farm food products can be
hauled In these cars. thus relieving
our over-burdened railway transporta-
ton. The basic fact of their appeal
is this:
There are over 10000 automobiles
IN the state of Wisconsin. These au-
tomobiles are being used regularly in
the summer and fall months for tour
ing in the country. On these trips the
owners can very readily pick up farm
food products which they need and
carry them into the city. resulting in
a saving to them in the cost of all
the product and the ECONOMIC waste
from rail transportation and passing
through the hands of the middleman.
In addition TO making each pleasure
trip a foOd-prOduct-carryi trip, spe-
cial trips can be made into the country
by owners. A couple of such special
trips to buy from the farmers would
supply the average family.

ECONOMY WITH GAS STOVE
Woman Tells How She Saved Money
by Making Plans Ahead for Her
Baking Day.

A woman has written in to the Wom-
ans Home Companion about her gas
stove and she says:
1.-THE idea of telling other women
how to economic time and money in
the use of my gas stove came to me
on hearing a young housekeeper tell
about baking a pudding, or just one
thing, in gas oven as large as my
own, which struck me as amazingly ex-
travagant," writes a woman In the
Woman's Home Companion.
"When planning to have a baking
day with the oven, sit down the day
before and think out just what is need
ed for several meals ahead which must
be cooked. For instance, ] place a
roast in a pan just barely large
enough to hold it, thus economlzing on
space as well. Then, IL possible, !
cover the roast with a pan which can
De made 10 sit quite level, into which
put several potatoes; or, If this mr.
rangement isn't practicable. put the
potatoes on the crate. Beside the
roast ] place small pudding dish con-
tanning a bread pudding, on a small
asbestos mat beside the pudding dish
small pan of biscuits. A vegetable
may sometimes be baked In a maple
with all these things as well.
"The following, all Of which / have
tested, will be found good combinations
for any baking day:
"a meat loaf, covered, in a bread
pan; escalloped tomatoes in a pudding
dish; a pan of corn gems. Time about
an hour. Baked potatoes may be
crowded in almost always.
"Roast chicken in small cake tin I;
sweet potatoes peeled and sliced, sea-
soned and covered with milk in pud-
ding dish; macaroni and cheese in a
bread tin. Time sDo1t one and one

Cheap carnivals Hit by Council.

The state council of defense has
gone after the cheap carnival.
The following statement by Secre-
tary A. H. Melville has just been sent
TO all county councils and the cam
paign is on against immoral shows:
There is always some criticism of
travelling shows of a doubtful charac-
ter, but this year it is especially Wig
orous. In view of the state and ma
tional campaigns for economy, ii is
absurd TO encourage these wasteful or
CARNATIONS merely for the sake of the
amusement which thy furnish.
"Healthful amusement and whole
some entertainment, If economically
handled. should be encouraged. Car
nivals carefully planned by local COM
mittees are usually of this type. These
the state council of defense has no
disposition TO criticize, but ii wishes
emphatically to place its stamp Of dis
approval upon the floating carnival OF
low character, which visits towns only
TO bleed them as much as possible.
"The average travelling street carni-
val makes no educational and little
financial contribution TO the commun-
ity. The character of amusement and
entertainment is not always whole
some. The moral tone is usually not
high.
THE state council of defense,
therefore, urges that the county coun-
ellis take every legitimate step TO dis
courage people from patronizing street
carnivals and similar organizations of
doubtful character"
