But II isn't what women have

my curiosity ad makes me wish

really have on molding the des-

"To begin with, there are hundreds
OF thousands OF women to whom the
war has brought the first touch Of
real life they have ever known. For
the first time in all their pampered
existence they have made sacrifices;
for the first time they have heard the
call Of duty, for the first time their
minds and hearts have been inspired
by a worth while aim.
They have been butterflies. fitting

BUTTERMILK IS
HEALTH MAKER

Buttermilk' is a nourishing food
as we'll as a refreshing drink.
1t contains practically all the food
materials of whole milk, with the
exception of the fat, most of which.
of course. is removed by the process
Of churning.
Buttermilk contains about 3 per
cent of protein. nearly per cent
of carbohydrates in the form of
milk sugar. OF per cent of mineral
constituents and 06 per cent OF fat.
On this basis a quart OF buttermilk
contains a little over an ounce OF
protein, which is ,one of the chief
body builders.
Prepared or artificial buttermilk
is usually made from skim milk and
has all the chemical properties of
buttermilk.
If il is churned, as Is usually the
case, 1t agrees in appearance and
flavor with real buttermilk.
In fact the U. S. dairy experts
say It Is often a better product.
especially IL clean, sweet skim milk
is used and it is carefully ripened
and churned.
A delicious hot weather drink can
be made from ordinary buttermilk
by simply adding lemon juice and
sugar. "Buttermilk lemonade" as it
is called. made by using the juice
of three lemons to a quart of butter
milk and adding sugar~to suit the
taste.
Buttermilk Pie-Heat 1 cupful of
fresh, rich buttermilk in a double
boiler until 1t is warm but not hot.
Add to the milk tablespoonfuls
of cornstarch mixed with table,
spoonfuls of cold water, then cook
the mixture until it is thick and
smooth. Add "a of cupful of
maple sirup or maple-flavored corn
sirup and the beaten yolks of 2
eggs. Stir in the juice and grated
rind of lemon. and l tablespoonful
of melted butter. Cook the mixture
until it is clear. Have ready a bot
tom crust we'll baked and fill the
mixture. Cover with meringue and
bake 20 minutes in a slow oven.

FISHER THANKS
LOAN WORKERS
Highway Leader of Indiana
County Says That State. Will
Now Come Out of the Mud

The tremendous favorable vote
given the proposed constitutional
amendment which will permit the
state to borrow $4,000, 900 for road
purposes is attributed by the Asso-
ciated Highways Organization of
Pennsylvania, which backed the prop
osition. to the fact that the state at
large has tired OF unpermanent main
roads Figures received by the as
sociated highways show the Yes
votes to have been nearly 100000
more than the Noes.
1.-The approval of the amendment
by the voters of Pennsylvania Is
complete evidence that the people of
this Commonwealth are progressive"
said Ex-senator John S. Fisher, Of
Indiana, president of the associated
highways. "The state is now enabled
to borrow money and build highways
on a wholesale scale"
Pennsylvania will have the best
highway system in America within
five years." was the declaration of
William Jennings, of Harrisburg.
treasurer of the associated highways.
Transportation facilities will be inn
proved and there will be great i'm
provement in economic conditions"
DR.. P. T. Johnson, of Erie, vice
president of the associated highways,
declared that the vote Tuesday plain
ly evidenced that Pennsylvanians
are tired of their many meandering
miles of mudways.
"The vote means that the people
have learned that good roads are an
economic necessity. Almost every
county in the state has reversed it's
attitude of 1913 when the bond Is
sue was defeated by 41,000 votes"
If the war is over before the legis-
lative sessions of 1919 end the con-
stitutional amendment providing that
the state may borrow money will be
put through by the state Senate and
House. Not all the $5O.OOO,0O0 bonds
will be issued at one time, of course.
The Legislature will say how and
when the bonds are to be issued, In
what form. the term and the interest
to be paid.
