Mems Clothing for Spring
Lighter Weight Than Usua'

With the wind-up of the buying sea-
son for spring delivery, manufacturers
In New York of mems clothing find
themselves with a volume of orders on
hand which, in most cases, is above the
record for the corresponding period a
year ago. 1t is said that, as a rule,
the fabrics to be used in these gar
ments for next spring are lighter in
weight than ordinarily. In other re-
spects, however, there is practically
no evidence of the war regulations"
the notifications in styles that have
been agreed to applying more to next
fall than to the coming spring sea-
son. Patch pockets will be worn a
great deal, and many double-breasted
coats have been sold. Trousers will
be turned up at the bottom as usual,
though this feature may be cut out In
the fall styles. The cloths used are
mostly of subdued colors and COM
binations of colors, and conservatism
seems to rule in the great majority of
cases.

Culture ButtermiIk More
Beneficial as Drink; Has
More of the Tactic Acid

Culture buttermilk is more beneficial
as a drink than the common variety,
according to G. e. Buchanan of the
dairy department of the Kansas State
Agricultural college. 1t is more like
ly to be free from harmful bacteria,
and to contain more of the Tactic acid
which gives it its healthful properties.
Tactic acid bacteria are present in
the digestive tract and destroy other
bacteria which might prove injurious
to the body. The use of buttermilk as
a beverage Is one method of introduce
ing more of these Tactic bacteria into
the system.
Whole or skim milk may be used to
make culture buttermilk, but usually
these are combined in equal parts. The
milk is first subjected to a temperature
of $50 degrees for 80 minutes to steri-
lie 1t. 1t is then cooled to 20 de-
grees and q small amount of starter
Is added. The milk is kept at this
temperature for ten or twelve hours
until the whole is c%oagulated. After
wards it is beaten thoroughly or churn-
- ShANC W ' hlluulC anu SdlI-
ed-one t%easpoonful of salt to each
gallon. The buttermilk is then cooled
to 90 degrees, at which temperature it
is kept ready for use.
The starter is made from pure Tactic
acid culture obtained from the labora-
tories where it is cultivated. The lac
tic acid bacteria are carried by means
of sterilized milk powder made from
the dried casein of milk.
A small quantity of this powder is
put into a small bottle of milk, which
soon ~coagulates. The curded milk is
used In a new bottle of milk the next
day and this process is continued
through three or four preparations.
These preliminary propagations of the
starter are necessary to eliminate the
peculiar taste of the original powdered
milk culture.

President Approves the
Timely Injunction Sent
BY Redfield to Chiefs

President Wilson has set the stamp
of his approval upon a timely injunc-
ton addressed by Secretary Redfeld
to his bureau chiefs. 1t is to be cir
culated, posted up, and made a guild
ing rule in the transaction of all war
business. 1t should be a golden rule,
a precept always to be needed:
"Forget how things were done be-
fore the war; eliminate red tape,
We must learn with Germans that the
war won't watt Delay is the kaiser's
ally"
Heads of department bureaus are
not alone insisting upon doing things
this year as they did them last year
and the year before that. The "busi-
ness as usual" pleasure as usual"
and "my W interests first advocates
are just as guilty as the tape-bound
bureau chiefs. All such are playing
Germany's game of delay.
1t is the business of each individual
to bestir himself to help win the war.
1t Is the business of all to realize that
everything is changed, that nothing can
be done this year as it was last.
We must do the things the war de-
mands, and do them now.

Food May Be Saved by Close
Watch of Weather Forecasts

Immense losses of food products, oc-
casioned by freezing and other injuri-
Gus weather conditions, occur annually
that may, with proper precautions, be
avoided. This is especially true of
shipments by rail during the winter
season.. The weather bureau issues
forecasts daily, and special warnings
as occasion demands, giving Informal
ton Of expected weather conditions. in
Guiding frosts, cold waves, high winds
and heavy rains or snow. During the
winter season, officials in charge of
nearly all weather bureau stations is
u daily what are known as "Ship-
pers' Forecasts" giving the minimum
temperature expected to occure within
a shipping radius of from "a to sc
hours from the station. These fore
casts are published on postal cards.
Careful watch of forecasts and
warnings will often enable shippers to
avoid losses, either by expediting or
delaying shipments or taking extra pre-
cautions to protect goods from injury.
No shipment of considerable length
should be made without first ascertain
ing the expected conditions over the
route. The occasion demands the ut
most carr to prevent losses of food not
only as a matter of self-interest but as
a patriotic duty.

curry, n of the most deadly of poi
sons.
One of these drugs might be picked
up for the other in the dark or even
in the daytime, if the label was not
carefully read by the one seeking to
take the medicine. This has resulted
in an innocent father killing his child,
or perhaps his wife, or in SOM cases
himself.
Another great mistake Is to change
a drug from one bottle to another
without altering the label. 1t is often
done in dividing up the contents of
a rare drug with a ~neighbor. The one
receiving the unlabeled bottle depends
upon his memory, which often fails
him, and a fatal mistake results.
A very short time ago 1 knew of a
generous doctor dividing up a rare
drug with n of his colleagues, intend
ing to label the bottle he kept for him
self. He neglected to do so, and not
long after he wanted to use the drug
and picked up what he believed to be
the proper bottle, but which proved to
contain an agent active in its power to
destroy tissue. This he dropped into
his eye and only escaped Having his
eye destroyed by q narrow margin.
Now this is quite a common mistake,
and people have been made blind by
this carelessness. Drugs that are most
useful are, as a rule, most dangerous,
and should always be kept under lock
and key and plainly labeled. At pres
ent we are being robbed enough of the
members of u families during the
war, so that we should have no pa
tience with the killing of the innocent
at home by simple carelessness, and it
is this common, everyday practice of
confusing drug bottles that 1 warn you
against. 1t can all be done away with
If you will only give 1t reasonable at
tention.

Health So Necessary.

"Health is, indeed, so necessary to
all the duties as well as pleasures of
life, that the crime of squandering II
is equal to the folly; and he that for a
short qualification brings weakness and
diseases upon himself, and for the
pleasure of a few years passed in the
tumults of diversion and clamors of
merriment, condemns the maturer and
more experienced part of the life to
the chamber and the couch, may be
Justly r%eproached, not only as a spend
thrift of his happiness, but as a robber
of the public; as a wretch that has
voluntarily disqualified himself for the
business of his station and refused that
part which Providence assigns him in
the general task of human nature."-

Cats Eat Only Scraps.

There is absolutely no Justification
for anyone's proposing to destroy the
cats to save the food they eat" said
DR.. F. J. Flanagan of the Boston Cat
club. "Not from any angle. They eat
the scraps from the table which would
only accumulate and be dumped into
the garbage pail. The refuse can't be
used to feed pigs, because no one in
Boston can get a permit to raise them.
It is taken down the bay by the Bos-
ton Developing company and turned
into fertilizer; but the amount which
the cats use is SO small that it isn't
worth counting"

THE DOLLAR QUEST

OF the dollar you'll find
There is many a kind
While you seek 1t, as men have to do:
And you shouldn't neglect
Some care to select
The kind 1t is best to pursue.
There's the dollar that works,
And the dollar that shirks;
There's he dollar that loves to assist;
There's the dollar that Stacks
And just stands in it's tracks,
When it ought to get out and enlist.
There's the dollar that thrives
And the one that c%ontrives,
An indolent fancy to please;
The dollar that hopes
And the dollar that gropes
In the haunts of improvident ease.
There are dollar that roam;
There are those that stay home,
They are built both for joy and regret,
And success will depend,
More or less. in the end,
On the kind of a dollar you get.

The merchant had hired an expert
worker in cork to reproduce on quite
a large scale the entire village of
Leslie. 1t was so faithful a reproduc-
ton that it showed every steeple, the
magnificent cathedral, castles four CEN
turtles old, ever the village graveyard
and the tall memorial shaft marking
the grave of the father of Earle Daw-
son.
"Some day we will go there" Earle
had told Norma. "When the war is
over, we will make this journey u
deferred honeymoon" Norma sighed,
but to herself. She fairly %worshiped
her lover for the fine qualities she
knew he possessed. Her thoughts,
however ethereal at times in harmony
with his own, were practical. Ever
and always Earle shrank with aversion
when the horrors of the unnatural con-
flict abroad were discussed in his pres
ence. The thought of cruel warfare,
of the wreck and ruin of battle chilled
him. When the call for volunteers
came he was not responsive.

Earle was troubled. The shrinking
tmidity against practical and unpleas-
ant things, catered to by his indulgent
guardian, nurtured by chosen associa-
ton with friends of q temperament
like his own, had weakened courage
and judgment. He fought against this
conviction. He was generous in his
contribution to every national aid

Good Food for the Family.

GOOD ROOD Tor the Family.
While we are cutting down on u
meat, using less beef, mutton and pork,
the following recipe will help out when
planning a beef dinner:
Beef and Kidney Raaout.
Wash skin and cut beef kidney into
one-fourth-inch cubes wipe a pound of
stew meat and cut into inch cubes.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and
dredge with flour. Cut two slices of
bacon into dice, put into saucepan, add
one onion peeled and sliced, cook three
minutes, then add the meat and stir
and cook until well Drowned Add a
cupful of boiling water, a tablespoonful
of Worcestershire sauce and one green
pepper cut in strips bring tO the boil
ing point, and cook slowly until the
meat is tender. Thicker the gravy,
add a half-cupful of stoned ripe olives
and garnish with rings of green pepper
and fried mush.
A salad that Is most appetizing is
made of a small head of cabbage and
n onion chopped fine. Cut a thick
slice of salt pork into small dice and
fry out until brown; pour the fat all
over the cabbage, stir well, add salt
n pepper to taste, then pour over
enough boiling hot vinegar to moisten
and further season the cabbage. Serve
at once.

heard of his priceless possession.
begged to view the same, Earle Daw-
son led one and all into a real room
sacredly devoted to a memento, a re-
mlnder of his early childhood.
He was a f%ull-grown man now,
twenty-three, engaged to marry Norma
Lane, his counterpart in that delicate
refinement of mind and soul that had
made him a dreamer. Through all the
course of the years he had never for
an hour lost sight of one ineffable
longing to some day visit the little pic
turesque town, somewhere in France"
where he had been born during a So
journ of his parents abroad.
His father had died there, was bur-
led there, at Leslie. His mother re-
turned to the United States with her
child. She, too, died a few years
later, leaving her child a competence.
His guardian vas a man of esthetic
temperament and nurtured all there
was Of poetry, art and literary tai
ent In his ward.
So Earl Dawson had grown up with
a soul as clear as crystal, but utterly
untitled to cope with the rigors of the
world. When he was still a little
child he received a wonderful gift.
His father had given important inan-
cial assistance to a merchant at
Leslie, deeply involved. The loan had
saved the man from bankruptcy and
ruin. At Leslie there were those ex-
