Just as we came to the conclusion
ihat there would be no new departure
in styles for the midwinter coat, the
trench coat" breezed in and made an
instantaneous success with the young
er set. Its name bespoke an interest
in 1t and the coat repays this interest.
1t is only in details of finishing that
it differs from many other of the win
ter's successful models. 1t is the sort
of comfortable, practical affair that
commends itself for general wear. to
the active young woman who goes
everywhere. But it has a style of its
own with a snappy military flavor.
Even though it reaches to the shoe
tops, the trench coat contriveS to be
trim looking with its wide fiat box
plat down the front. The belt. of the
material, slips through upturned flaps
at each side, which are fastened down
with big bone buttons. The deep cuffs,
that are of uneven width, overlap at
the edges and an important button
stands guard on each of these The
collar Is of the smuggling variety that
has won the devotion of the fashion
able. 1t is immensely becoming and
comfortable. This garment may be de-
veloped in any of the plain, soft coat
ings that have made this a most sue
ceSsful coat season.
Content to bear comparison with the
trench coat, another popular model
presents itself in the picture. It also
has several interesting points to be
considered with yoke and sleeves cut

WARM WATER FOR DAIRY cow
Cheaper to Heat Supply Than for
Animals to Do 1t Themselves With
Expensive Feeds.

(North Dakota Agricultural College Bull
letin-)
A good supply of clean, fresh water
should always be at hand for dairy
COWS. Much water is needed for the
high-producing mich cow owing to the
nature of her product, about 81 per
cent of which is water. Tt should be
handy at all times, and in the winter,
if the tank is outside, heat should be
applied to take the chill off the water.
Cows will drink more water if warmed
to go to 20 degrees Fahrenheit than if
made to drink ice water. A tank heater
can be provided at low cost that will
keep water at proper temperature,
thereby saving feed and energy of the
animal. 1t is cheaper TO warm ice wa
ter than to allow the COW to warm it
with high-priced feed.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for so cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful
appearance. It is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.

To stimulate quick increase in the

ment of agriculture will extend
throughout the country the pig clubs
which have been operated in 15 states
and the poultry clubs which have been
operated In nine states. In addition to
the 33 specialists in hog production
and 80 specialists in poultry produc-
ton who thus will be placed in the
field at once, an additional specialist
on hog production will be placed in
each of the five principal hog-raising
states.
Hogs and poultry have been singled
out as the live stock on which special
efforts will be concentrated in the cam
paign for increased meat production,
because they give the quickest returns.
The various pig and poultry clubs have
already interested in the rearing of
these animals large numbers of young
people who otherwise would not con-
tribute to an increase in food produc-
tion.

CERTAIN FOODS NEEDED
Different Substances Are COndu-
Give to Good Health.
Uncle Sans Nutrition Specialists
Point Out the Proper Diet for
Adults and Children.

Adults and children must get sew
eral different substances from the food
they eat or they will miss something
which is essential to bodily efficiency
and health according to the nutrition
specialists Of Uncle Sans department
of agriculture. The housewife, there
fore, who plans her meals or attempts
to save money on food without some
knowledge Of these substances and or
the five simple groups of foods which
supply them Is very liable, say these
experts, to omit from her meals some
food essentials for the growth Of chill
dren or necessary to supply the family
with the energy they need for their
daily tasks.
1t is further pointed out by the gov
ernment experts that attempted econ
omy which entirely omlts certain foods
may well prove very poor invest
ment, because Of Its ultimate effect on
the well-belng Of the household. Price,
individual preference for certain foods,
and even the fact that hunger Is salts
fed after n meal, are no safe guides.
Tomatoes, at 10 cents apiece in winter,
1t Is pointed out, are no more nutri-
tlous than they are at 5 cents quart
In summer. A child might crave
much more sugar than would be good
for him. A bulky diet Of potatoes or
bananas might make person feel he
had eaten enough, but would not fur
nish him with the elements that his
body needs.
To plan meals in the interest of
family efficiency and economy at the
same time, the housewife fortunately
does not need to do elaborate sums In
calories or to have any Intimate knowl-
edge of such terms as "prOtein" or
carbohydrates. All she needs to do,
1t Is said, Is to classify the food she
uses into seven simple household
groups.
The substances which the specialists
find are needed In the daily diet to
maintain the body may be grouped
under seven heads: Mineral sub
stances, protein, starches, sugars, fats,
cellulose and certain little-known, but
very important growth-stimulatlng sub
stances.
The mineral substances, such as lime
salts, compounds of phosphorus, iron,
and others, are supplied largely by
vegetables, the experts say. They serve
the body as building material, tend to
counteract acidlty In the body tissues
and fluids and are useful In other
ways.
Protein, n substance supplied by
meat or meat substitutes, including
milk, is very important fuel and
bodybuilding material 1t provides an
element-nitrogen- to form
body tissues not only during growth in
childhood, but also to make good the
wear and tear Of use In persons Of any
age, thus keeping the body in repair
as 1t were. Absence Of foods supplying
protein would give a diet lacking in
bodybuilding materials.
1t Is further pointed out that differ
ent kinds Of starch, sugar, and fat are
important fuels Of the body,
The last group of substances is pres
ent In very minute quantities. These
minute quantities are believed, how
ever, to be vitality important to the
body because Of their effect in promot-
ing growth In the young and keeping
the body well.
