EAT COTTAGE CHEESE.

Eat cottage cheese and help save
P30000,000 worth of valuable food an
nuclly wasted in skinned milk. The
Food Administration, in putting forth
this plea to Americans, goes further,
and will show housewives how to pre-
pare any number of wonderfully pal
atable dishes out of cottage cheese.
All the city milk distributors in
Philadelphia manufactured cottage
cheese from SKINNED milk, and sold
It daily on routes. The housewife
could obtain the hot weather food by
leaving her order for it as she does for
iiilk.
Thirty billion pounds of one kind Of
food are wasted yearly in the United
States. This waste is in skinned milk.
which, when prepared in any one of a
score of palatable forms, constitutes
the best possible food.
In its most familiar form it Is known
as cottage cheese. A pound of this
product Is equal in food value to q
pound Of meat or to dozen eggs,

Summer Complaint.

During the hot weather of the
summer months some member OF
almost every family is likely to be
troubled with an unnatural looseness
of the bowels, and it is Of the great

promptly, which can only be done
when the medicine is kept at hand.

BEWARE HuN-sPREAD STORIES.

BEWARE HUN-SPREAD STORIES.
A carefully written story was re-
Gently submitted for publication by
the Canada Food Board, telling how
the morale Of the troops was almost
broken this spring by scanty rations,
General Qwatkin came out with an
official statement that the Canadians
had not had their rations reduced by
so much as a pinch of salt since they
landed from the transports. The cen-
sorship then started an investigation
to see if some German propaganda
was not stealthily trying to discour,
age the people at home who were
stinting themselves to meet the over
seas demand for meat, wheat sugar
and fats.
The willy Hun will never miss a
chance to start harmful stories of this
sort. One of the cardinal virtues Of
the United States Food Administra-
ton Is the fact that 1t never hesitates
to tell the unvarnished truth without
any attempt to brighten or to fiatter.
So every Marylander should be on
guard against tales and rumors which
could work against the Food Admin.

Allied Cause. Don't listen to them,

Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as well as those from
the Allies.

THE SHORT AND TALL OF 1T,

Where Hes the trouble when one II
| undesirably tall or short? What are
| the possibilities Of changing ones
| stature? Can ono runt himself by
smoking cigarets or by eating improp-
erly? Can one increase ones stature
by eating abundantly? why are sons
people long and others short?
These are daily questions, and, In
addition to the few who ask them
openly, there are multitudes who would
like to know but either do not care to
ask or do not know where to ask. The
eugenics office undertakes to answer
some of them in their bulletin 1S.
1t says that the largest factor By
far in establishing stature Is inherit
ance. A person is tall or short because
his parents are tall or short II tall
person replies that his parents are
short, Professor Davenport comes
back with the reply that Inheritance
Is from some recent a.ncestor--prob-
ably one or more grandparent was
tall. Tallness is very apt to be either
quality Of the parents or OF the
stock.
The answers seem simple enough,
but somehow they do not seem to sat
isfy. And when we come to analy1e
conditions things are not SO simple
Stature Is not q simple matter COM
posed OF but q single part. The length
of the leg below the knee is one factor,
third. and Of the neck and head .
fourth. Scientists would even sub
divide these divisions.
Now let us see what bearing these
facts have. A man may inherit long
legs from one parent and q short body
from another, the result Of the combina-
ton being long stature Perhaps his
brother Will inherit long legs from ono
ancestor and q long trunk or a Ions
neck from the other, the result being q
tall stature. This is enough of itself
to account for a good many of the vari-
listers OF a family. And then there may
be a difference in the persons inherited
from. One brother may inherit from
the father, another from the mother,
and third from some grandparent.
Davenport states a few Of the lawn
governing Inheritance OF stature. When
both parents are tan or Very tall and
of tall stock, practically all Of the chill
dren are tail or very tail. When both
parents are short or very short and OF
short stock all children are short OF
very short
The children of tai, parents are more
apt to row true to form than those
of short parents. The people OF medium
stature are usually the children Of peos
pie of medium stature The children Of
short parents are more apt to be me-
dunn in stature than are the children
OF tall parents.
The length Of the trunk Is from % Ia
IS per cent Of the stature The head
and neck length is about II per cent Of
the stature. When both parents ara
short from the knee down about one
fifth OF the children are tail. When
both parents have legs that are long
from the knee down none OF the chill
dren are short. In certain families there
is inheritance OF long bodies; in others
Of long necl1s. and In others of long
legs. 4f

SUGAR LONG GROWN IN JAVA
Production Has Beer Pushed Rapidly
and There is Room for Fur.
Their Development

The cultivation of sugar cane Is an
Did industry in Java. The production
has increased rapidly and the end is
not yet. Between 1850 and 1860 Java
produced less than 100000 tons year.
Sugar tonnage increased rapidly and
steadily, until In 1904 the million-ton
output was reached, and it is thought
thar the two.million-ton mark will be
passed within two or three years. A
writer in the Americas, issued by the
National City bank Of New York, says
that while the cultivation OF sugar is
very old industry in Java, it has
passed through many yicissitudes. Fif-
~ years ago, he says, the sugar was
raised almost entirely by native farm
ers, who paid part OF their crop to
the government as rent. The rise of
beet sugar growing in Europe made 1t
necessary In order to compete to In
froduce q more efficient system. To-
day the cultivation is done by the
manufacturers themselves. They lease
the land from the natives, who in
tnany cases are the owners, or from
the native communities. Many small
properties are thus united under the
management Of manufacturer dur
Ing the period OF one planting that is,
about three years. After each planting
the land Is turned back to the native
proprietors for growing rice or corr.
until its fertility for sugar productions
rs restored.
