They feel that women WnO love tnelr state and country should know some thing about laws which relate so close ly to them. The next subject for con sideration will be Taxes All wom- en who own property pay taxes, yet few of them have any knowledge of how the state. county and city regu- lates the payment thereof. Some off cial who is familiar with the machin- cry of state will give the next lec- ture and the club will invite a num- Der of visitors who will be interest ed in the subject. This organization feels deeply indebted to the gracious men who spare a busy hour out of the grind of the day to speak to the club from time to time.
 The Culture club is enjoying it's busiest year. It has not only knitted, sewed and made scrapbooks for the soldiers, but Is taking part in the campaign for the war library, and has done all of its literary work up to date. It's latest contribution to camps is a knitted convalescent's robe which was sent to Camp Wheeler through Mrs. Orr's committee. Mrs. James Hood, one of it's taltented members, is taking part n the play given at Camp Mcclellan and staged by Miss Elizabeth Smith of the Fenelon club of this city.

Demands Of War May Bring
Back the CeIluIoid Collar.

1t Is no longer considered good form
to point the digit of scorn or throw
lighted matches at gentleman who
wears highly inflammable celluloid
collar. Nothing but world war could
supply an alibi for this economical
Adonis, but nowadays the wearers Of
the stiff and glistening strangers rank
with the food conservers and the lib
erty bond buyers In the matter Of pa
triotic endeavor.
OF late, or recently to be more ex-
plicit, some person with mania for
details has discovered that millions of
pounds of potatoes are used annually
in the United States in the manufac-
ture Of starch. Not content with this
discovery, observes writer in the
New York Herald, he sought addition
al details and ascertained that about
a third of all the starch coined, spun
or manufactured goes eventually to
the neck of the country. The stiff col
lars of the nation are responsible for
a great percentage of the potato short
age. Obviously anyone who wears a
starched collar is contributing to the
misery of the poor, the profits of the
food bandit, the gloom of the nations
and the waste of America.

Mothers Cook Book.
The School Lunch.

In preparing a luncheon for school
children. two things should be kept
in mind: providing good, wholesome
nutritious food and packing 1t attrac-
lively. In these days when all house
wives wish to conform to the requests
of our food administrator, sandwiches
must be made aof other than wheat
flour. Bran bread, rye and barley
bread, and steamed brown bread will,
with an occasional roll of white flour,
give a needed variety. AS most all
breads need some wheat flour to add
gluten, there is much white flour used
even with the best of planning. Sand
wiches and cakes, If wrapped in waxed
paper will keep fresh and moist. The
care in packing so that the food Is
not jolted over rough roads or jOggled
in the hands of the little people, Is
very important, for small people are
fastidious, being offended with hash
when out Of its proper course.
Breads may be varied by adding
nuts, raisins and dates, or oatmeal
bread to which dried fruits are add
ed. or nuts if preferred, is a most
wholesome bread we'll liked by the
children.
A handful Of dates, figs or raisins
or an occasional piece of candy Is al
ways a delight to the child.
Custards, egg sandwiches, cheese In
various forms, nuts and salads will all
take the place of meat. Chicken and
fish cannot be shipped abroad so we
are told to indulge in them in place of
pork, mutton or beef. Beef hearts and
liver sweet breads are meats that are
perishable and so are not shipped.
Such meats make most tasty dishes
if they are not always cooked and
served in the same way.
In all our conserving we must re-
member that the children must be
well fed. Milk, butter, cheese, and
the yolk of egg as well as vegetables
such as cabbage, spinach and Other
green leaves add an important stimu
liant, called growth stimulant, which
is found in all these foods. 1t Ii

we are told that the wounds of oul
soldiers do not heal well unless the,

A Hard Row to Hoe.

For centuries the status of wom-
an while single was solemnly defined
as femme sole and after marriage as
femme covert. Vertically 1t may be
said that the second estate of that
woman was far worse than the first,
concludes Judge Robert Grant in Scrib-
ners. A femme sole was in legal
phraseology an infant until her ma
jority, but after attaining it she had
full possession and control of her prop
erty. If she was rich 1t was scarcely
reputable that she should not marry
unless she became a nun; consequent
ly the interval between minority and
wedlock was. so to speak. 'twixt hay
and grass. Nevertheless, If she defied
social sentiment and remained single
the law protected her ownership. She
might be choused out of her posses
sions, but she could not be deprived of
them. The instant she married, how
ever, she became femme covert, and
Every attribute Of ownership ceased

cal values of poultry. Many stand
ard breeds are divided into varieties
differing in color, but Identical In
every other respect.
Color is not primary utility point
but as a secondary point often comes
in for special consideration. For ex-
ample, white variety and black
variety Of the same breed are actually
Identical in table quality but because
black birds do not dress for the mar
ket as clean and nice looking as white
ones, 1t often happens that they are
rot as salable.

the more attractive appearance of a

it can be followed without sacrificing
any material point.

Erect Carriage.

Erect posture is the primary ele-
ment in good bodily poise. 1t is very
simple matter. And yet it is very,
very uncommon. Erect posture is not
only factor in beauty; it is very
important factor in health. This is
true not only because it means a
normal condition Of the spine, with a
healthy state of the nerve centers, but
because of its influence upon the func-
tons of all the internal organs. Ma
ture intended these organs to occupy
a certain position in the body. They
do their best work only when they
occupy these allotted positions. When
they are crowded out of position OF
permitted, through bad posture, to SAG
or fall several inches below, their eff
ficiency is naturally interfered with

Machinery Of the
Body
By DR.. SAMUEL C. DIXON
Commissioner Of Health Of Pennsy lvania

The Indifference of mankind to his
body has always been beyond my
comprehension. His value as an indi-
vidual unit among his kind depends
upon the condition of the living organ
c machinery within his body. This
represents natures greatest effort 1t
is upon the perfection of this ma
chinery that our nation will have to
depend to succeed In the horrible war
we have been plunged into to preserve
our national liberty.
Man should be taught from child
hood to be proud of his body. He
should be taught early in life that it
Is the home of his brain and very soul.
He should be taught how complicated
1t is and what great care is necessary
to keep 1t in order, and that every
time it Is out of order 1t falls below
its normal standard of accomplish
ment.
The care Of the body means the
care OF its outward parts, like the
limbs, and Of its internal organs, par
ticularly those of digestion.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. thS idNe tiinN tAS
body is the most valuable property
mankind possesses, there is nothing
! toward which the majority Of men dis
| play more Indifference. There seems
| to be general idea that the body is
indestructible. That Is why we see so
many poor, miserable specimens of
mankind within our midst. If they
realized what objects of pity they
really are, every effort would be made
to spruce up and present the best
possible appearance to their fellow
creatures.
l have heard people say of others
'"They are too proud to care for APP
pearances." Yet these same people
would be apt to share our common
feeling Of being proud of the appear
ance of their homes, of our mechan-
ical machinery. or of our animals, par
ticularly our horses.
Many a man allows his children to
grow up without proper cares or at
tention for their bodies, the temple of
all they have, while his driving horse
is kept in state of perfection so
that it may not only be admired, but
also perform it's duties to the highest
degree.
A pet driving-horse has its body
kept clean, its bed and living condi
lions most carefully looked after, and
its food prepared with the greatest
care. If one day it does not get as
much physical exercise as on another
the food Is reduced so that its physical
condition may be maintained. If II
gets over-warm while travelling. ii is
at once covered with a blanket to pre-
vent taking cold.
Let us give thought to what we are
doing and see that our bodies ant
those of our children are at least rs
well taken care of as those of oui
animals, and that we value them a.
highly as our other possessions. lie
us Mt once learn TO be proud of GU
bodies and realize the fact that the.
are complicated and require the great
est care to keep them in order.
Just now our nation demands tina

which our liberty depends.

Cleanliness and NeatneSs
Most Important Factors in
Arranging InvaIid'S Tray

Cleanliness and neatness are impor-
tant factors to be considered in ar
ranging the tray of an invalid, points
out Miss Loula Kennedy, instructor
in domestic science in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
The food should be so arranged that
the patient will not have to put forth
much effort to obtain 1t. The artistic
touches count for much in arranging
the tray. Daintiness arouses the eye
and creates an interest in the food.
The best dishes and linens obtainable
are not too good for the patient.
The food should be fresh, and of
the best quality. 1t is desirable to
have as great variety as possible
The cooking should be done with the
utmost care. Hot foods should be
served hot, and cold foods cold
Enough food should be given to sat
isfy the patient but the plate should
not be overloaded, and it must be
served regularly. Serving meals or
time is as important as giving medi
cine on time.

breeds Of fowls have bcon made ana
developed on the general principle Of
practical quality the foundation OF
breed character and value.
Classification of Useful Breeds.
In harmony with this principle the
common classification of breeds accord
ing to their place in the general scheme
of poultry production. divides them
into three principal classes, namely:
Laying breeds, meat breeds, and gen.
eral purpose breeds-that is, breeds
that are not as ready and persistent
egg producers are the laying breeds,
and not as meaty and as easy to fat
ten as the meat breeds, yet combine
in one individual fowl very good laying
capacity with very good table quality.
The Leghorn, Minorca, Andalusian,
Ancona and Campine are well-known
breeds of the laying class; the Brah-
ma. Dorking and Cornish of the meat
class; the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red and Orplngton OF
the general purpose class.
Characteristics Of Egg Breeds.
The breeds mentioned as the laying
class, with the exception of the MI
norca, are relatively small, very en-
! ergetic and lively, mature early and
are easily kept in good laying condi-
ton. The Minorca is of larger size
and modified somewhat in the other
particulars mentioned, yet has more
the character of the laying class than
any other.
characteristics of Meat Breeds.
In the meat breeds there is not this
same uniformity of type that is found
in the laying breeds. The three men
toned are quite different. The Brah'
ma is more popular because it is at
the same time the largest and the
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1918-01-25

most rugged in constitution. The
Dorking excels in quality of meat but
is generally considered somewhat lack
ing in hardness. The Cornish is rath-
er hard-meated but being very short
feathered, has its special place as a
large meat producing fowl in south
erly sections where the more heavily
feathered Brahma does not stand the
summers well.
characteristics Of General Purpose
Breeds.
Among the popular breeds of the
general purpose class there are also
differences in type adapting breeds
to different uses. The Plymouth Rock
is generally regarded as the type meet
ing the widest range Of requirements
in the general purpose class.
The Wyandotte is n little smaller
and earlier maturing, but still very
well meated and easy to fatten.
The Rhode Island Red has nearly the
same standard of weight as the Wy
andotte, but is more active bird, not
putting on fat so readily: consequent

France, where she was enabled to see

lie trenches, told of some special
needs Of our soldiers.
Among the chief are safety pins and
chewing gum, knitted body scarfs of
sufficient length to wind around three

The safety pin, it seems, is of prime
importance, as being the only prac-
teal device for fastening various ar

Each Breed Has Its Place.
To the novice in poultry keeping it
often appears that there is no real ne
cessity for so many breeds and varie-
ties as have been standardized in
America. Further acquaintance with
them, however, shows that although
color differences are in most cases
made merely to please the eye of
persons having different preferences
for color, the differences In shape and
size which make breed character have
been developed with a view to adapt
ing each to particular uses or par
