Survey Of Nursing Resources.

With the certainty that the military
demand for nurses will continue a!
long as the war lasts, and with def
mite requisition already in hand fol
$4,000 nurses by January I, 1919, it i:
apparent that complete knowledge o.

should exist in such form that it car
be used as a National unit, both tC
meet the military and >civil needs
Furthermore, this information should
be uniform, SO as to permit it,
National use for meeting the great
nursing emergency that now con
fronts the country.
There will be special committee
appointed in Butler. to work. with thu
chairman of the county in planning
for this survey, which will continue
until November IS. This committee
will be in touch with The chairman oi
the Wornan's Council of Defense, al.

Of Interest to Butler Readers.

For months Butler citizens have

praise of Doan's Kidney. Pills by
Butler residents. Would these PRONE

they confirm their statements after
years had elapsed if personal expert

worthy of endorsement? The follow

WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE?

What excuse has a Democrat for
not voting his full ticket? The men
upon it are certainly as good as
those upon the opposing ballot. They
are all just men with the common
faults OF men. You may not like
some of your candidates, but you
might not like the other fellows any
better ii you knew them as well, and
they do not stand for the principles
in which you believe. 1t is easy
enough in local fights especially to
find fault. Some one said something
you did not like, some one did not
favor a road or bridge you wanted, or
some other, trivial reason. You think
he ought to be perfect when possibly
If you were investigated and all OF
your foibles picked out and you ran
for office you might not get dozen
votes. Will some man on the other
side favor you any more? Nay,
verify, all he wants is the office and
then you may go hang with your
Democratic convictions. Are you
small enough to vent some little
ncighborhood spite upon candidate
and so injure your party? If you are
guilty of such petty spite take a
tumble to yourself, and get out, of it,,
because it is contemptible. Stand BY
your principles if you have any. OF
course if you have no principles you
are free to go butting around being
made use of by anybody who will pat
you on the back and praise you for
being independent enough to fall into
their hands.-Johnson County Demo-

Fine Barns Not Needed.

Halls" But that dream, built up for
dairy cows by a lot of elaborate de-
signers of fine barns, is dissipated by
experts of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture in a bulletin en-
titled s'The Four Essential Factors in
the Production of Milk Of Low Bac-
terial Count" 1t gives the results Of
series Of experiments in which milk
of low bacterial count was produced in
an experimental barn under conditions
similar to those on the average low
grade farm. The three essential fac
tors were found to be: Sterilized
utensils, clean COWS, small-top pals.
A fourth factor necessary to keep the
count low is holding the milk at
temperature of SO degrees Fahrenheit
or lower. All Of these factors, it is
pointed out, may be operative in an
ordinary barn just as much as in the

Kramer Says: 'sEatonic" Rids Weak Stomachs of
Acids, Gas, Heartburn, Food Repeating

What miserable feelings are caused
by an upset stomach! That dull,

for you sufferers with stomach weak
ness?
Yes; Fl. L. Kramer, the man who

quick, relief for indigestion, dyspepsia,
"sour stomach" heartburn, formation
Of painful gases, "bloating," ETC., etc.
Ee calls his stomach relief EA-

preached their meals with dread, now

"Halt! Who goes there?" sounded

OUR BOYS "OVER THERE"

In a very little while now there
will be a million American boys
on the firing line in France and
Flanders.
Already there are some mill
lions Of British and French boys
on that line-boys who have
been there, some of them, for
four years, offering their lives
in defense of your home quite as
much as of their own, warding
off the atrocities of the Boche
brutes from your loved ones,
though they have not been quite
able to ward them off from their
own mothers and sisters.
All of those boys, ours and
others, will remain there, and the
cry '"They shall not pass!" will
be made good-so long as the
flow of American meats across
the ocean is ample and uninter-
rupted.
The requirement of us at home
is very simple requirement.
1t does not limit us in any way
to a meatless diet. It leaves us
large choice Of very excellent
meats.
But it does demand that we
eat less of beef, no canned beef,
and not too much of any meat
that is at all suitable for over
seas.
Of course, none Of us would
deliberately fail to do that little
bit for the men who are sacri-
ficing for us their treasure of
youth and hope and love. No
American worthy the name ex-
ats his belly above the sacred
things of home and country.
Only some of us might be
thoughtless.
Therefore take thought.

Making Meat by Dipping Ticks.

In the campaign to "help the ma
tion's meat and milk supply" million
and quarter head of cattle in 275
counties of the Southern states are
making fortnightly pilgrimages to the
dipping vats. There are $4,000 of
these vats in active operation
enough, if the Huns were attempting
an invasion of America by way of the
gulf, to make a solid concrete bar
rier from New Orleans to Pensacola.
Operating the vats are 1865 federal,
state and county employees-enough
to place guard every $50 feet along
that barrier; enough, if armed with
machine guns, to hold it against any
ordinary attack.
That is the United States army Of
invasion in tick territory, the army Of
determination of the cattle fever tick.

Watch Stock for Fly Injury.

To prevent fly pests of live stock
from causing serious injury, the stock
should be carefully watched and when
the presence Of maggots is discovered
in wounds or in soiled wool, appropri-

form is the best remedy to kill mag
gots in wounds. AS the wound is

Summary of What War Has Done
for Benefit of Consumers of
Animal Products.
DOWNFALL OF Stacker CAN
Government Has Refused to Tolerate
Use Of Tin for Canning Air-Poi-
sonous Disinfectants Are
Also Forbidden.

While the various governmental
agencies have always taken more than
ordinary precautions to safeguard con-
result from canned meats, contingen-
cieS arising out of the present state
of war have resulted in even more
perfect protection for soldiers and
civilian alike.
An old evil in the canning industry
was what has recently been called the
"slacker can.' It was not able to
survive the state of war. The partly
filed can, like other slackers, had to
go. The mere bringing of cans up to
the low net-content weight printed on
their labels is no longer all that is re-
quired. The can must be filed. The
war brought shortage of tin and the
government refused to tolerate the
use Of tin for canning air.
Poisonous Disinfectants Forbidden.
Extraordinary precautions are being
taken also in other particulars. A re-
cens regulatory announcement from
the bureau Of animal industry, United
bids the keeping of such odorless poi
sons as bichloride of mercury in pack
ing houses and directs that hot water
containing approximately 1 per cent
of SalSOda (Sodium carbOnate) shall
be used for disinfecting all instru-
ments.
The bureau has supplied all sta
tiOns with special thermometers for
making temperature tests of meats,
and inspectors are instructed to close
ly supervise the handling Of all meats
and products of kind prepared Gus
tomarily to be eaten without cooking
and which contain any muscle tissue.
The inspectors are instructed also to
see that all meats which are not rem
dered into lard or tallOw and which
are utilized for food purposes shall be
Sterilized by heating so that all pOr-
tions Of the meat are brought to q
temperature of ITO degrees Fahren-
heit and maintained at this tempera.
ture for not less than 80 minutes.
Different Cooking Methods.
The bureau of animal industry does
not specify the cooking necessary to
insure that all parts of the meat are
heated to the minimum temperature.
That was regarded as impracticable
on account of the fact that different
methods Of cooking are used in differ
ent packing establishments for vari-
GUS weights of products. The inspec-
tors are instructed to apply good judg-
ment to each individual case, to make
the necessary test, to determine the
facts and to be guided accordingly.
