First Aid to Marriage.

OF what use is diamond, anyway
Conser,ntionists who are for cutting
out all extruvagan1e during the var
are asking the question says the Kan
sas City Star.
The answer, based upon statistics
furnished ny jewelers., seems to be
that the diamond is most valuable
us an aid to marriage. II is laid
that the trade in diamonds goes up or
down in ratio with increasing or de-
creasing numbers of marriages. This
lis because the diamond is used so
much as the setting in engagement
rings.
Last year the United States In
ported S34,000000 worth of dit
monds, an increase of 10 per cent
over 1915 and 40 per cent over 1913
Looking into this startling grgvth
of the diamond trade it was dscov-
cred that, according to leading I'M
porters, "eyery girl expects real oia-
mond in pledge OF plighted- troth these
days. and the growth OF that custom
coupled with good times and an IN
crease in the number of marriages, ac'
counts for It,"

M0T0RIzE ENGINES OF WAR
How Expert Automobile Men Are Aid
Ing Uncle Sam.

In the ordnance department of the
United States war department, the
need for motorization of artillery and
the handling Of ammunition by means
of motor-driven vehicles are fully APP
preciated, and rapid strides are being
made toward what will doubtless be
the most completely motorized artil-
lery equipment of any of the allied
powers. This motorizatlon involves
not only the use of numerous trucks,
most of which will be of the four
wheel-drive type, but also the use of
Society of Automotive Engineers Is
represented by its president. Closely
associated with this are the design
and construction of any apparatus
like so-called tanks. A past presl-i
dent of the society Is commissioned
to work upon the development of these
special engines of war. Another S. A.

take charge Of the design, operation.

into two divisions, were seen over
the village Saturday afternoon.
There were Go birds in one flock and
over thirty in another. The geese
were evidently lost in the fog for
they were seen flying in different
directions and at times so low that
their calling could be distinctly
heard.

Drinking Water at Meals.

The notion that drinking water at
meals interferes with digestion, by
'diluting the gastric juices" has been
utterly exploded, notes health opti-
mist. On the contrary, one should
drink plenty of water at meals; 1t
helps digestion. But it is best that
the water should be ut the temperature
of the air, or cooled with very little
ice in summer Another exploded idea
is that the drinking of water at meals
tennis to make one fat. 1t is absolute
ly preposterous. The fact. indeed, Is
quite opposite, inasmuch as whatever
encourages digestion Is bound to dis
courage an unwhplesome accumulation
of fatty tissue. Lest It be imagined
mat these are only one mans opinions,
It should be explained that they are
fully Endorsed by the experts of the
government bureau of nutrition.

in drinking fountains as substitute for
meatscrap, and the meatscrap omitted
from the ration. Fresh green bone
may also be used in place of meat
scrap. 1t may be fed separately every
noon, giving the birds all they will
clean up in 20 minutes or at the rate Of
one-half ounce per fowl per day. Milk
may also be used TO mix a wet mash.
Don't Overfeed.
Great care should be exercised In
order not to overfeed the fowls. Best
results are secured in both eggs and
health Of fowls when they are active
and not over fat. Feed only what
grain the fowls will eat up clean. They
should be compelled to exercise Wig
orously In deep straw litter for all
their grain, especially in winter or
when kept in limited yards. They
should come hungry to every meal.
Overlooking is injurious to both health
and egg production. Overfat hens cas-
lily contract disease and cannot pro.
duce eggs.

Flower Calendar.

At Grasse, town in southern
France. the seasons are marked by
harvests of flowers, for this is the CEN
ter of perfume making, In February
and March violets and jonquils are the
crop. In the summer months roses,
orange blossoms and tuberoses fill the
air with sweetness. In the autumn
lavendar is carried TO the factories in
batxets, on donkey backs and in wag-
ons. All OF these flowers ARE treated
in much the same way. They are
stuck into pure white fat, which draws
out all Of their perfume. This fat be-
comes the basis for most of the po-
mades and perfumes for which Paris
is famous.

Good feeding is but a part of the prob

Fifteen pounds whole wheat, ten

one-tenth pound salt.
In addition green feed such as al
falfa, rape, kale, lawn clippings, cattle

at all times in self-feeding hoppers.
Mixed Grain.
The mixed grain is fed In a deep

Why Care Should Be Given to Chill
dren's Eyes.


An elaborate study among many
kinds of workers has convinced an au-
thority that the use of the eyes ia
close work makes the severest strain.
The trouble is likely to be aggravated
by the abnormal position of the head
and the body. particularly when habit
ually maintained. With proper teach
Ing in schools much Of the evil might
be obviated; but, unfortunately, In this
matter the school authorities have
been both ignorant and neglectful
However, among educators just now
there is an increasing realization
Of responsibility. In many schools
throughout the country they are in
sisting on strict examination of the
eyes of children. 1t really should be
one of the first things done TO child
On entering school. 1t should be part
of careful physical examination, re-
sulting in the correction Of bad hab-
It's and the forming Of habits that are
wholesome.
