SUPREME MILITARY NECESSITY.

CALVES WITH WHITE SCOuRs
Result Of Inflammation Of Lining Of
Fourth Part or True Digestive
Stomach.

White ecours In calves Is a form Of
dlarrhea. 1t Is the result Of an in
Illumination Of the lining of the fourth
part or true digestive stomach, and
Is generally caused by changing the
calf's milk or giving cold or skim
milk when not used to 1t. The ma
nure is very thin and of yellowlsh-
white color. The calf has pains,
breathes heavily and groans at times
grits it's teeth and keeps looking
around at its sides. Try to discover
the cause of the trouble. and If from
a change Of milk or giving 1t too cold,
apply this treatment:
Give the calf good, warm milk to
drink, following with two ounces Of
raw linseed oil. two ounces Of lime wa
ter, one dram Of laudanum. Mix and
give as a drench. If this does not
give relief follow with one dram of
,laudanum and two ounces of lime
water. Mix and give three times
day in little milk as a drench. Keep
up this treatment and see that the
animal Is kept dry and warm until 1t
is better.

DRINKING AMONG SCHOOLGIRLS.
Some time ago schoolmaster Of
Cologne, astonished at the poor work
done on Mondays by the 81 boys in
his class, questioned them as to the
manner in which Sunday had been
spent. He learned that 10 had spent
the evening before in some cafe or
beer garden, that 20 had taken wine,
"a beer and 10 brandy; II had had
both wine and beer, IA had had wine,
beer and brandy, ten had been very
tlpsy and eight had been nauseated.
Doctor Boyer Of Vienna requested a
certain nuraber Of school directors to
divide their sol pupils into three cate
gorles: Good, adequate and inade-
quate. Then, with their aid, he divid-
ed these into five classes: "a Those to
whom alcoholic drinks were unknown;
(2) those who drank occasionally; (3)
those who drank beer once a day; (0
those who drank 1t twice daily; (5)
those who drank 1t thrice. The results
were as follows:

WARM WATER FOR DAIRY cow
Cheaper to Heat Supply Than for
Animals to Do It 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-produclng nllch COW owing to the
nature Of her product, about 81 per
cent Of which is water. 1t 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 60 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit than If
made to drink Ice water. A tank heater
can be provided at low cost that win
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 II
with high-priced feed.

sMARr LOCI FoR T4E CUISINES eIaL.

worn north or south but with a whis-

are not too summerllke. but there is
no hint of winter about them.
Three of these captivating models
are shown in the group above. They
place themselves at glance-hats Of
the highest class that need not to ex-
cuse themselves for appearing in the
depth Of winter. AT the center of the
group the large picturesque black hat
Is made Of panne velvet and mallnes.
All its story is told by these two mate
rails for its finish is merely a collar of
the velvet with bow at the back.

blue is vivid, somewhat lighter than

background for the odd japanese
leaves and berries that form a wreath

REMEDY FOR CHAPPED TEATs
Carefully Wash With Warm, Soft Wa
ter Containing Dlslnfectant--
Dry and Apply Salve.

Chapped and sore teats of any kind
should be carefully washed with warm
soft water containing little disinfec-
tant. Dry them carefully and apply
little salve. The salve may be just
ordinary vaseline; it may be any Of the
carbolic acid salves purchased In the
drug store, or it may be made up Of
three parts Of lard and one part Of tur-
pentine.
This salve protects the teat during
the time between milkings. 1t excludes
air and keeps the teats from drying
and cracking and the surface Of the
teats become smooth and soft. In
stead Of being uneasy during milking,
the COW will stand quietly and show no
discomfort of any kind from this
source.

rHE NATIONAL AMENDMENT.

IF the proposed amendment should
be adopted by three-fourths of the
states" says United States Senator
Sheppard speaking Of national prohi-
bitlon, "the traffic in intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes would be
forbidden anywhere within the Amerl-
can republic. Prohibition would be inn
bedded in the organic law of the ma
ton. Is it not time that the federal
government, the largest social unit we
have, should take a hand when the
traffic in a poisonous drug Is taking
from the earnings Of the American
people six times as much as they ex-
pend for bread, ten times as much as
they expend for furniture, and twice
as much as they expend for clothing?
AS. / view the matter" concluded Sena-
tor Sheppard, "the member of either
branch of the American congress who
denies the power Of amendment to the
states, especially an amendment which
vast numbers Of the people desire the
states to consider, violates the basic
principles both Of the constitution and
of popular government, repudiates the
fundamental rights of the states and
oyerturns the two most sacred priv
ileges the people possess, the privileges
of referendum and of petition"
The man who Is not willing that the
question of national prohibition be sub
mitted to poll Of the states is not
travelling the path Of safe democracy.

hi the drama Of fashions, the part
of the one-plece frock has grown in
Importance for three seasons. 1t
made a triumphant entry this fall and
has held the center Of the stage ever
since. The advent of the abustle dress
(Which hardly deserved its name) and
the furore for velvet portends a bril-
liant finish for this season Of style
that Is sure to reappear In the spring.
The hustle dress is given its name
because 1t is caught up in drapery be-
low the waistline at the back and
merely suggests the hustle Of other
years. 1t is prettiest in velvet Or
heavy satin on crisp taffeta best Of all
velvet. In the latest models skirts are
narrow and drawn back from the front
by the back draplng. They have long,
close-fitting sleeves and high necks.
One-pfece frocks Of serge and other
durable cloths have proven themselves
the. smartest sort of frocks for bust
ness women. This term includes about
everyone these days when 1t Is I'M
SRinkable that any well woman should
be idle.
The frock Of serge shown In the
picture is enough to reconcile the most
inconsequent Of idlers to a business

member how entirely practical 1t is.
In addition to being good looking 1t Is
new and original. The sleeves are set

separate vestee Of washable white

IN ENSSELAER is a small city on
the east bank Of the Hudson
river, opposite Albany, N. Y.
Although 1t can boast Of few
attractions, 1t has the honor Of pos
sessing within It's city limits the Oldest
building in the United States. There
has been much talk of uniting these
two cities and at some future day this
old building may be found in Greater
Albany.
As we stood in front Of this old
house facing the rIver) one beautiful
October afternoon we thought more
desirable location for dwelling could
not have been selected, writes Mrs.
Halsey Hayford, in the Utica Globe.
At our left we have a view for miles
down the Hudson. Over at our right is
the city Of Albany, the upper portion
Of its $27 0,0Oo-dollar pile of marble
(the capitoD being plainly visible.
This old mansion faces the south
ern part Of Albany and what we see
are old broken-down buildings along
the docks, old black foundries, old
Ice houses, etc. 1t has been said that
everything earthly has something to
mar Its perfection and we thought
this view is not an exception.
We turned toward the house. It
towers above the good-sized dwellings
on either side and looks very much
like a fort. Between the two front
windows Of our left is a bronzed tab
let upon which is the following in

Ace Of the Oceans

Scientists have figured out the aver.
age, amount of salt carried by the
rivers Of the world as total, and have
compared with the total quantity OF
salt in the oceans. From these data
(taking into account evaporation and
rate Of stream fiow) 1t Is possible to
reckon how many years have been re-
quired to make the seas as salt as
they are today. On this basis, Prof.
Frank Clarke Of the United States ge-

authorities, estimates that the oceans
are about 90,O00000 years old.

We entered the small front hall In
the middle of the house. Two doors
opposite each other admit us into the
two main rooms. At the back Of the
hall, at our left, Is an unattractive
staircase. The main rooms have odd
fashioned fireplaces with wooden
nantes ornamented with wreaths and
garlends. Under each window is a
seat. Back of the room at the left
is a larger hall extending across the
house, with door at either end. The
north door Is made In two halves, up
per and lower. Back of this hall is
another good-sized room. All the rooms
in this building are Of good size and
the ceilings are about nine feet high.
When we had assembled the front
stairs we took about three steps to
our right and at the top Of a short
flight Of stairs at our left is a small
room with low ceilings, This was
called the "dead ROOM" Any mem
Der Of the family dying was laid in
this room. 1t was never used for any
other purpose. Going down from this

stairs in front Of us we reached the
upper hall. The arrangement of the

It was divided in two parts by the
Hudson river. The western half com
prised the whole county of Albany,
while the eastern half was more than
two-thirds of Rensselaer, county.
Later additional purchases were made.
1t was found necessary to have
manor house and place of protection
against the hostile Mohicans and the
Lord PATRON, or the PATRON, as he
was called, ordered his agent to build
fort. This he did in 1641, the date
which is cut on a stone in the cellar

construction we're sent from Holland.
The fort was named Crailo after the
