money to produce. To provide these
things Is the opportunity and duty of
those who do not offer their lives.
Winning this war Is a matter of
money. When you buy a Liberty
Bond 1t means money for the United
States treasury. During the coming
year, this nation must raise $24, 4,000,-
100000. About $4,000, 100000 of this
must be raised by loans and $S,00O,-
100000 by taxation. II we do not raise
this money, the United States treas
ury \will have failed. When the
United States treasury fails, the war
Is lost. II the war is lost, democracy
is lost-the world Is lost.
Thus we get some idea of what
each individual must do. He must
save, do without luxuries, he must get
along with what he has rather than
buy things that are not absolutely nec-
essary. He must do those things only
which are of productive value. He
must simplify and cheaper his diet.
In short, he must in every possible
way use for his own comfort as little
OF the nations labor, time, and eff
cheney as possible. He must save
every cent Of money possible and loan
1t to the Government. In this way
only can citizen live up to his patri-
otic duty and do his part towards win
ming and ending the war.

America is the Atlas on which the
world is resting. Not only must Amer
lean soldiers fight and win the war
for democracy, but American dollars
must equip and maintain American
armies and, in addition, they must
maintain the armies of the Allies

DAIRY PRODUCTS.
the dairy products?

What are the dairy products?
Milk, cream, butter, cheese, ice
cream,l etc.
What are the distinctive qualities of
milk, butter, and cheese?
Milk is called a perfect food"
because 1t contains all the food
elements in nearly the right pro-
portion for proper nutrition and
in the most digestible form; but
ter is probably the most attract
i've fat and is 100 per cent digest
ible; cheese has high protein
value and is good substitute for
meat.
Why is the number of dairy cattle
in Europe diminishing?
Because Europe has had to eat
many dairy animals; because
shortage of labor has reduced fod-
der and help necessary for the
herds; and shortage of shipping
The Ely miner., 1918-09-06
CHEESE.

Why are we not asked to save cheese?
Because we have a plentiful sup
ply on hand in addition to that
needed for exports.
How much cheese did we import in
1914?
An. average Of over 5,OOO,0O0
pounds every month.
How much did we import in August,
1917?
Half a million pounds.
What is the food value of l pound OF
cheese?
American pale cheese contains
1906 grams protein, 1928 grams
fat, 1876 grams carbohydrates, and
furnishes 2,055 calories (accord-
ing to Atwater and Bryant). 1t
equals l pound of fat meat in
energy value.
Is cheese made of whole milk or skim
milk?
Most Of it is made of whole
milk.
Since the butter supply is limited, why
not make cheese of skim milk and
use cream for butter production?
Because cheese is made when
there are such quantities of milk
ON hand that all of it could not be
put on the market or consumed
as milk or butter. 1t is really
by-product of the dairy industry.
What per cent of the milk produced
is made into butter and what per
cent goes into cheese?
Sixty per cent to butter, 5 per
cent to cheese.
What is cottage cheese made Of?
Skim milk, buttermilk,. or sour
milk.
Is cottage cheese nourishing food?
Yes. 1t is rich in protein, and
In price 1t is one of the cheapest
protein foods now available.
What does a pound of cottage cheese
represent as protein value in terms
of other foods?
One pound cottage cheese is
equivalent to-
1.27 pounds sirloin steak.
1.37 pounds chuck rib beef.
1853 pounds fowl.
1.46 pounds fresh ham.
1853 pounds loin pork chop.
What other products are made of sour
milk or buttermilk?
Skim-milk cheese, hard cheese,
sour-milk drinks, all of which are
wholesome, casein and milk SUI
gar.
What place has cheese in the diet?
1t Is substitute for meat, and
should be eaten as dish instead
of tidbit.

How do sugar prices here compare
with those In other countries?
Net wholesale prices of refined
sugar per pound in chief cities of
Allied countries since sugar control
was established in the United States
by the Food Administration:

has lim1ts. the amount OF Inn
ported fodder.
Why do the Allies turn to us for
dairy products?
Because supplies reaching them
from Scandinavia, Holland, and
Switzerland are now largely cut
off, and shipping can not be pro-
vided to bring food from Austria
liza and New Zealand.
Why should we encourage our dairy
industry?
Because children need plenty
of milk and butter; because the
world faces a shortage of milk
and butter, and because dairying
is fundamental In much of our
agriculture.
How can we use dairy products most
wisely?
BY using butter only on the
table; by using more skim and
sour milk and more whole milk;
by wasting no milk or butter.
May we use ice cream freely?
Ice cream Is healthful food
and offers an excellent way Of
using milk products. But 1t con-
tains sugar, which is one of the
foods we wish to save. Patronize
dealers who use corn sirup and
honey in place Of sugar, and when
making it at home, always use
other sweeteners.
How much butter did we export to
Europe from July 1, 1915, to July
1, 1S16?zsaa !.
6,622,073 pounds, most of which
went to the Allies.
How much cheese did we export in the
same period?
38,221,450 pounds, most of
which went to the Allies.
How much condensed milk did we ex-
port in the same period?
99,541,098 pounds. All except
about 100000 pounds of this
went to the Allies
Have we kept up the immensely in.
creased exports which marked the
fiscal year 1861?
No; from July 1, 1917, to Janu-
ary /, 1918, we sent 100000
pounds less butter and $4,000, 900
pounds less cheese than in the
corresponding period q year ago

We are under orders as to evening
gowns; the edict is that they must be
simple. This is dictated by good taste
in Difference to the mood of the public.
Designers are not expected to sit down
in dull apathy and do nothing as long
as war lasts, and on the other hand,
they must not seem to forget the
grim business that occupies so much
of the world. The evening gown ap-
pears not to have suffered from this
restraint in being gay. Designers have
exercised SO much cleverneSs with the
means at hand that there is room for
thOughtfulnesS.
Velvet is greatly favored for one
piece frocks that do duty for eve
ming and extend their usefulness to
daytime wear by the addition Of a
guinlpc of lace or embroidered net, or
an underbodicc with long sleeves of
satin. This type Of dress meets with
the rcHdiest approval.
The evening gown, pure and simple,
Is developed in the usual materials,
of crepe geOrgette, crepe-de-chine, net,
lace, light-cOlOred satin and metallic
tissues. Chiffon velvet, in more or less

The aptitude for wearing clothes
In the right way has more to do with
successful dressing than the style OF
the clothes themselves. American
women have earned Il reputation for
fine sense of style and titness-that
is-a "sense of clothes" Perhaps this
is the reason they have taken so kind
" to the capes and fiat scarfs of fur
that have proved, by a long way. the
most popular furs of the season. These
fiat neck pieces are adaptable and
easy to adjust.
Furs that may be worn either to
muffle up the throat and shoulders.

thrown about the shoulders indoors,

MERITS OF WINTER FLOWING
Standpoint-Permits Better Util-
ization Of Labor.

The merits of fall and winter plow-
ing have been discussed pro and con
by many writer's. 1t is evident that
the ACCESSIBILITY of blowing land In the
fall depends upon several factors. 1t
is not advisable, as a rule, to break
land not in seed of some kind, If It is
IN need Of organic matter, and cover
crop can be grown on it to pillow under
in the spring. Stiff sods can be
plowed in the fall, and in most cases
ought to be, If possible. The greatest,
and perhaps the only decided advan-
tage in fall blowing, is from an eco
nomic standpoint. It permits a bet
ter utilization of the farm labor and
permits part Of the hardest work %

ton that give velvet and fur their
value in toniny up fabrics.
In the pretty frOck pictured an UNI
derbOdicc of net, with sleeves of net

that the skirt is longer than is usual;

the top and flaring widely to the
wrists, give the design novelty and
dash.
TO brighten up the dark cOlOred

other dark frucks, strands of bright
colored beads have special value.
They arc selected to emphasize

War Strategy land Chess.

The affinity between strategy and
chess, recognized by Napoleon, is not
very surprising, notes the London
Chronicle. The game seems to have
chrystallized out of some old-perhaps
rehistoric-military system akin to
that overthrow by Alexander at the
Hydaspes. OF that battle Arrian has
left us a most spirited picture, in
which we can now recC gnize singular
touch of modernity-the long line Of
Indian elephants wading, tankl:ae, in
to the Macedonian Phala:1. Probably
at it's birth chess was a branch of mil.
itary education rather than a form OF
amusement; and the various early
changes in the game, of which we have
record, were doubtless attempts to
keep the instruction up to date and
abreast with current alterations in ar
mament and tactics:
