For Sanitary Reasons

The Banner is in receipt of the fol-
lowing letter from one of our sub
scribers. She has been pestered
with dogs and writes this in the in
terests of humanity and better sani-
tary conditions.
Mr.. Editor:-I wish to say a few
words to the grocery merchants, bak-
ers and produce dealers, and really
it is delicate subject to handle. You
know it is near the time when our
grocerymen set their vegetables out
side on the pavement and do not
know there are many tall dogs in the
town, and it operates as though
they had drank from some of our
medical springs.
Now. Mr.. Editor. you know what
mean to say, and if you help me out,
YOU will do the public great favor.
What we want is the vegetables in
boxes and "above high water mark"
For the good of women and mankind
the grocers will please attend to it.
Those wire screens. too. they some
times use on their baskets and boxes
are not "water tight"
This, / repeat, is delicate matter,
but you know when a lady goes shop
ping for cabbage, lettuce and such,
she doesn't like to be obliged to get
peas also, Please put it in shape so
as to offend nobody, and greatly
oblige.

What the Irish Would Do With


When the war is over, laddie;
Just take tip from me.
Therell be no German submarines
A-diven' thru the sea;
For the Fatherland of "Kaiser Bill"
The guy we're going to lick,
Will have to brand new Kaiser,
And the same will be Mick.
Well change the song, "Die Wacht
Am Them" into an Irish reel,
And make the Dutchmen dance to it,
If tbs so inclined-we feel;
For the police force in Berlin
Will be Micks from County Clare,
When we put an Irish Kaiser
In the palace over there.
Sure, in every German parkway
You will find a sweet colleen,
And the fields of waving sauerkraut
We will plant with shamrocks
green.
No liverwurst or sausage when
The Dutchman drinks his suds,
He'll get corned beef and cabbage
And good old Irish spuds;
The heather guns and gas bombs,
Well throw them all away
And make them use shillalahs
Or bricks of Irish clay;
They'll sport no iron crosses,
Sure It's shamrocks they will wear
When we put an Irish Kaiser
In the palace over there.

CHILDRENS PULPIT
The Habit Of the MistIetoe

wonder how many of US have no.
ticed, or heard of, the condemnation
that certain of our government ex-
perts passed upon the mistletoe some
weeks ago. Strange, isn't it, why
they should condemn such beautiful
little plant! 1t has a history that
runs back for many hundred years.
And all that time il has held a rather
peculiar and interesting place in the
minds Of the people.
Many years ago among the peoples
the mistletoe was regarded as sac
red plant. II was always green and
reproduced itself so rapidly, even af-
ter it had been cut down, that they
took it as symbol of eternity and
the immortality of man. They used
to hang a sprig of it in their houses,
hoping that it might bring them do
nestle good luck. 1t was used in
their religious services. Some even
thought it to be a charm against
sickness.
Some of the old religious customs,
having, been somewhat changed, have
been carried over into our Christian
life. We used the mistletoe at our
Christmas festivities along with the
holly and other emblems. We could
not have a Christmas festivity with
out the mistletoe any more than we
'could have an Easter without the egg
or rabbit. To us it stands for glad
ness and good cheer, and even for
love, especially TO those who happen
to pass under it.
Why, then, should our experts con-
denim it? Because of one sad fact
it is parasite. What is parasite?
it is something which lives on the
life Of others. The mistletoe has no
roots running into the ground. Per-
haps il did in the beginning of its
life. But now it grows from the
trunk of some tree. Thus instead of
making its own sap from raw sub
stances in the ground, it takes it
from the tree after the tree has made
it. Instead of growing a strong
stalk that will support itself, it de-
ponds on the tree for its support. 1t
deforms and often kills trees by sap
ping their life blood.
For this it is condemned. Ii may
possess beauty and many other good
points, but all of these will not atone
for its parasitic habit. Just how it
knows. 1t is perhaps easier to take
sap from tree than it is to make it
from the raw substance. 1t may be
easier to lounge on the trunk of
tree than it is to stand upright of
ones own strength. Yet it doesn't
seem to be right for even plant to
take sap and support of another.
But we have some human parasites,
too. They are different from the
mistletoe, but their habits are about
the same. Some of these human
parasites tramp around and ask 9TH
ers to feed them. Some have plenty
Of money, but they expect others to
work out their lessons for them. But
such is not right. No matter how
good we are otherwise. that goodness
cannot atone for such a habit.

Economy In Soap Bills

Buy soap intelligently.
Make your own soap.
Utilize bits of soap.
Make your own cleaning and
bleaching agents.
These are suggestions sent out by
the committee on utilization and econ
omy of one the state councils of de-
tense.
Within the last few weeks the
price Of laundry soap by the box has
practically doubled and indications
are that it will continue to climb.
Usually there is not a marked saw
ing in buying soap by the box when
considered from the financial stand
point only. There is economy, how
ever, in buying it in quantities and al
lowing it to dry. This makes it go
much farther.
A good grade of laundry soap can
be made in the home from drippings,
rancid oils and fats that ordinarily
are wasted. Homemade laundry soap
may be made by using seven pounds
of I've dissolved in eleven cups of
water.
Clarity and strain the fat and al
low it to harden. The fat is warm
ed enough to melt it and the I've solu-
ton stirred in until the mixture be-
comes a creamy mass. 1t is then
poured, into molds to harden. This
makes a firm soap for general use
at small cost.
All small pieces of soap should be
saved and kept free from dirt and
dust. When a sufficient number has

DON'T LIKE THE
NAME OF SAMMY

American Training Camp In
France.-Not until the recent arrival
in camp of certain American news
papers did the soldiers of the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces become
aware that efforts were being made
in certain quarters to fix upon them
the name Sammy"
That name never is heard on this
side. Within the past few days the
newspaper correspondents have been
approached by great numbers of the
officers and men asking that some
thing be sent home telling the peo-
pie there how the standard bearers of
the American army really resent
what they consider an inapt, undig-
nified and irritating name.
1t can also be stated that the re-
sentiment does not rest alone with the
officers and men of the army, but
that it extends to all Americans resi-
dent of Paris and other parts OF
France, many having written in to
say that they consider Sammy"
most unsuitable for men who have
come to France seriously and earnest
ly to fight for the liberties OF the
peoples of the world.
"Please hit the Sammy propagan-
da as hard as you can," said an Of
ficer of distinguished rank to cor
respondent "The men and officers
would be proud to have an appropri
ate nickname, but there is not one
among us who thinks Sammy is in
any way suitable, and it certainly is
not desired.
"The name does not in any way
suit a fighting man. We recognize,
of course, that it is an effort to play
upon the name of Uncle Sam. But
who would think of calling Uncle
Sam, Uncle Sammy? It IS ridicui-
ous."

CLEANUP SEASON
HERE FOR POULTRY

The fall housekeeping season is
at hand in Michigan poultry circles,
an announcement from the Michigan
Agricultural colleges department of
poultry husbandry declares.
AS first step in going about the
job, the floors should be thoroughly
cleaned by removing all litter. If the
floor is one of wood or cement thor
oughyl scrape it. If il is of gravel
or sand remove from four to six
inches of the surface, and put in new.
Dust the walls and ceiling. Remove
the nests to the yard and scrub them
vigorously with soap and water.
When dry, spray them well with a
good disinfectant (zenoleum or Gre
solD and allow the sun TO get at them
from all sides for number of days.
Then spray them again before re-
placing them in the house White
wash the walls and ceiling and the
dropping board, if one is used. To
the whitewash add a cupful of crude
carbolic acid to the gallon. When
the house is dry replace the nests
and other interior appointments.
Bring the pullets in from the
range before the fall rains and cold
nights come on so that they can get
accustomed to their quarters before
beginning to lay.
aft the poultryman will mix ten
pounds of corn, ten pounds of wheat,
and five pounds of oats together for
a grain ration, and feed fifty pounds
Nof buttermilk along with grit, shell,
bone and green feed, and use a mash
of five pounds of bran and five pounds
of -four middlings, he can expect
eggs from matured, well-bred and
well-housed fowls during the winter"

1t is sometimes problem to know
what to do with leftover mashed po-
tatoes. A good salad can be made
out of it by adding French dressing
and a little onion, beating it until
smooth and arranging it on lettuce
leaves.
IT a little lard is rubbed on the out
side of potatoes before putting them
into the oven they will peel easily
and smoothly after they are baked.
This plan is equally good in baking
sweet potatoes.
The shiny appearance can often be

Smooth one pound of starch in cold

should be avoided.

Pineapple may be combined with
rhubarb to make a marmalade or pre-

quantity of rhubarb is about three

the strong flavor of the pine. the con-

proportion may be used with straw
berries, raspberries or other fruit
that has a characteristic flavor,

accumulated, it can be made into soap
jelly or solution. This can be used
for dishwashing, woodwork, soaking
clothes, washing fiannels-if made
from neutral soap-and scrubbing.
One bar of soap or it's equivalent
in small pieces may be added to two
or three quarts of water in the pre-
paration of soap solution. Shave the
soap and put into a saucepan with
cold water. Heat gradually for one
hour until the soap is dissolved. A
tablespoonful of ammonia, turpentine
or kerosene may be added if desired.
One bar of soap or the equivalent

tion of soap jelly.
A good liquid cleaning and bleach
ing agent can be made in the home
easily by the use of one pound of sal

Blanch fresh corn on the cob six
minutes. Cold dip and cut from cob.
Blanch tomatoes one and one-half
minutes and cold dip. Remove skin
and core and cut into medium sized
