Federation Wants Immediate
Steps for Increase and

FOOD AND FUEL INQUIRY

Giving unanimous consent for con-
sideration as an emergency measure
of Washington's water problem, the
Federation of Citizens Associations
last night adopted a resolution calling
upon the government to take steps at
once to increase the water supply and
reduce rates for individual consumers.
1t was the federatfon's final action
before adjourning for the summer.

that consumption OF water in the Dis
trict one day last month exceeded
what Army engineers declare is the
safe, dependable capacity Of the con-
duit.
Committee to Act.
Jesse p Crawford Of the Connecti-
cut Avenue Association brought the
matter to the attention Of the fedora
health, of which he is chairman, was
instructed to confer with the District
Commissioners and ask that they pro-
coed with the least possible delay to
safeguard the capital against an in
adequate water supply.
Mr.. Crawford's statement that pri-
vate consumers use only 45 per cent Of
the water supplied in the District but
pay the entire cost Of the service,
whereas the federal and District gov
ernments use 55 per cent and pay
nothing, led to the committee being
further instructed to petition that
maintenance Of the water system be
readjusted on q more equitable basis.
Relegates were asked to communi-
cate to their respective associations
the fact that consumption of water in
the District Is now running close to
what has been estimated as the de-
pendable capacity Of the conduit and
to urge upon the citizens of the sew
eral localities that they conserve the
use Of water in every possible way.

luton opening up the broad economic
question OF why the government

material for an interesting discus
sion of the matter at the first fall

DAIRY
FACTS
ENORMOUS WASTE IN WINTER
Minnesota Dairy Expert Makes Start
ling Statement as to Amount Of
Milk That Is Wasted,

Three and One-h2lf billion pounds of
milk are practically wasted in the
dairy states every winter. This makes
21,OOO,OO0 pounds every day. The fore
going is startling statement, but r.
Nj. WaShburn of the division of dairy
husbandry, Minnesota College of Agri-
culture, says it is true. The farmer
feeds most of his skim milk to hogs.
This milk, fed to hogs, produces only
20 per cent of its energy value in edi-
Bile pork. Eighty per cent of its ener-
gy value is lost. Mr.. Washburn says,
though, that some milk is necessary to
start pigs off strongly.
Much more of the energy value of
the skim milk will be saved if it is
made into cottage cheese. Every 100
pounds of skim milk, says Mr.. Wash
burn, is equivalent to 20 pounds of or
binary meat, and will make 10 pounds
Of cottage cheese. The cheese con-
tains about One-third more protein
and One-third less energy than meat
and is therefore essentially equivalent
to meat.

ON GUARD

AT this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, n smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the eXhilaratiOn of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impOv-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the Old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such a
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
eerine and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.

build up the system try this tonic

How Glass Industry Shifted.

The ancient Roman glass works
shipped to all parts of the civilized
world; and specimens Of their produc-
tons are today found throughout Eu-
rope, and even in Ireland. When
Rome commenced to decline and her
great people fled to Byzantium, they
took with them their glass industries,
and COnstantinople became the great
est glass manufacturing city in the
world. This prestige it held up to the
tenth or eleventh century, and when
it entered upon its decline and fell the
glassblowers fled TO Venice and there
established what afterward grew into
the celebrated Venetian glassware.

OPEN SHED is SATISFACTORY
Experiments Conducted by Depart
ment Of Agriculture on Govern
ment Farm at Beltsvile.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of ASriculture)
In experiments at Beltsville, Md, by
the bureau of animal industry, United
States department of agriculture, a
warm barn, commonly deemed essen
tial for large milk production during
the winter months, proved to be some
what less satisfactory than an open
shed. Experiments extending over
three years showed that cows housed
in the open shed consumed a little
more feed, required more bedding and
slightly increased labor cost, but be-
cause more milk was produced and on
account of the lower cost of housing,
the open shed was found to be some
what more economical.
