Infantry if Septem- Der for overseas service. He had been wounded before and had suffered from the German gas before he re- fceived his fatal wound.

Tighter and Longer Skirts,
Cause Order for Lower Steps
On the Spokane Street Cars

Score another for the women. This
time they have made two big trans
pOrtation companies see the error Of
their way. They have compelled
tardy recognition of the fact that the
length of q skirt offers the only proper
rule for regulating the height Of STREET
car steps.
The women Of Spokane did 1t. They
were confronted by fashions latest
edict Of longer, tighter skirts, and
street car steps twenty inches from
the ground. Something had to give
way. Obviously fashions decree
could not be changed, hence the at
tack on the high steps.
But the street car companies could
not see it. The same steps had been
in use for years and 1t would cost
money to make the change. Protests
by the women were aired in the news
papers and gravely considered by the
nickel gatherers, but no action re-
suited. Then the Women's Good Gov
eminent league got busy with an ap-
peal direct to the public service COM
mission Of the state. The commission
listened to the argument, considered
it reasonable and promptly ordered
lower street car steps. The trans
portation companies bowed their heads
and the car steps are now dropped
to a height Of fifteen inches from the
ground.

Bathing Is a Luxury, Not a
Necessity, According to
Arctic Explorers Theory

1t is not essential TO one health that
one battle frequently, according to the
hypothesis expounded by vilhjalmur
Stefansson. the arctic explorer. in a
philosophical discussion Of scurvy in
the Medical Review of Reviews. Mr..
Stefansson asserts bathing Is purely
an esthetic principle and that the
value of cleanliness to health has not
been established by the medical prac-
titioners.
Mr.. Stefansson's pronouncement
will be greeted with jubilation by the
elements which possess an ingrown
dislike for hydrogen and oxygen In
proportions OF two to one. 1t has been
accepted as dogmatic by the Mexican
pelados for years. who as a religious
function. battle only on st. Johns
day. which Is celebrated early in May.
"Much Of what the ordinary practi-
toner tells you about bathing for
health Is either not yet demonstrated
as true or else IL demOnstrably un-
true" declares Mr.. Stefansson. 1.-THE
fact is that. according to the point Of
view. cleanliness Is a matter Of esthet-
les or else of taboo observance rather
than of health"
The explorer makes an apology In
the article for his attack on medical
orthodoxy by declaring he has been
divorced from medical books and Jour.
nails for more than ten years. Mr..
Stefansson wrote the treatise while
in the arctic region in 1915. He was
reported as dangerously i'll from ty.
phOid fever on Herschel island.

Cottage Cheese Dishes.

Our government food experts real
ize the need that all housewives learn
to use many foods which have high
nutritive value. but have been given
but a small place in the family diet

wholesome dishes. There are some
who have not learned to like this nu-
tritious food. AID SO 1t may be given
in small doses, camOufaged in such
q manner that in q short while even

into the diet of a biased member Of

Cottage Cheese Dressing.
Take a quarter Of cup Of nice
creamy cottage cheese and mix it
with any good boiled dressing or
mayonnaise is especially good, using
a spoonful of the dressing at a time,
and enough Of the dressing Is added
to cover the flavor Of the cheese. This
heaped over sliced tomatoes is per-
fectly delicious, and will never be dis
covered by mere man as containing
anything but legitimate materials or
dinarily found In the average salad
dressing.
Cottage Cheese Sausage.
Take a cupful each Of cottage
cheese, a cup of dry bread crumbs or
rice or a mixture Of both, two table
spoonfuls Of butter or sweet fat, q
fourth of a cup of chopped pecans,
or peanuts. a half teaspoon of pow
dered sage or poultry dressing. one
teaspoon of salt, a tablespoonful of
milk. q third of a teaspoon Of soda
dissolved In the milk. tablespoonful
of finely minced onion. Cook the
onion In the fat until tender but not
brown, then mix all the ingredients
together and form into balls, roll in
bread crumbs and brown in a frying
pan in little hot fat. Serve hot gar
nished with parsley. ~ ..E
