"A relief from the atrocities Of war

from nephew of NINE" writes VAL

York, In the Herald, who Is In the en-
gtneers' corps In Palestine:
"'After the flies and sand Of the des-

very grateful to the eye. We soon had
a little brush with the Turks and some
of our men were hurt; we drove them

In with three Turkish officers. They,
wanted to borrow doctor; theirs had
been killed. Two Of the officers, ina

January Hats ForeteII Spring.

Among the bright and beautiful hats
that are assembled and displayed for
the benefit of those who go to the
south in January there are always
some models that may be worn In the
North. Women who have no inten-
ton of running away from winter and
SHOWS nevertheless indulge themselves
In hats that herald the spring. So 1t
has come to pass that January and
February are apt to find heads
crowned with hats of satin, or malines,
or even dark, brilliant straws. They
are not summer hats and they are not
winter hats; they are hats that are
adaptable to any cline
Among those that rejoice the eyes
of those who answer the call Of the
North, and make glad the hearts of
those who larry In the North, there
has appeared this year the hat covered
with fine, dark purple vlolets. The
flowers are very nafural-looking. of

Besides the all-flower hat, hats of
satin and hats of crepe with chenille
braids are already grazing the heads
of those who stay in the North. The
dark. lustrous straws are trimmed
with chou of velvet, or wings and
worn with heavy furs-a promise of
spring that keeps happy thought in
mind in the depth of winter. The hal

that offers itself for northern wear

Nervous Energy Which Enables Ono
to Think New Thoughts and Until
ate New Plans Important.

Probably the majority of men do not
know what real health means. 1t
means more than the capacity to sit
up and eat, to walk, to board car and
to bend over a desk. Real health
means more than the real ability to do
the same thing day after day. Real
health means a degree OF stirring, nerv-
Gus energy that enables one to think
new thoughts, conceive new plans and
initiate new enterprises. Superb
bundant nervous energy Is back Of ex-
ceptional mental activity. 1t Is tho
basis of all those qualities which are
most essential In the struggle for sue
cess.
1t Is not sufficient to have health
that will enable you to do common
place days work, Hugo~Masters writes
In Physical Culture. The right kind
Of health should give you the energy
with which to perform far more than
1 days work, If necessary, even from
a cumulative standpoint. 1t Is COM
monty the man with An unlimited CO.
,acity for work who gets on. He Is
able to work long hours without firing.
Successful men invariably enjoy the
possession OF this degree Of nervous
endurance or worE.11s endurance.
But 1t Is not this that 10 most I'M
portant. The possession OF energy is
essential, not so much for the sake OF
the capacity for long hours Of work
but on account Of the quality of work
which 1t enables one to perform
Quality Of effort is more important
than quantity Of work and the creates,

Plaids and crosshars have been
Launched in silk and wool and cotton
goods for spring, and already smart
coat suits and frocks for grownups, in
which plaids are used with plain col
ors, bespeak welcome for them. Just
how cordial and universal it will be re-
mains to be proven, but in one quarter
they are sure of a whole-hearted recep-
ton. Mothers who have the foresight
to put through their sewing for spring
in January and February will rejoice
that plaids are to be a feature of
springtime clothes, since there is moth

Sioux City, Ia, June 1S.-"Strang-

Freberg in one. fall at the end of
thirty-seven minutes of the toughest
wrestling ever seen in Sioux City He
did it in one fall, for Freberg's neck
was so badly injured in that one fall
that he could not return to the mat.
Three times in quick succession
Lewis hurled Freberg to the mat
with great violence. Freberg was
evidently dazed by the first crash,
but managed to get loose only to be
hurled to the mat even more violent
ly than ever before. This time he
got loose with some effort, but imme-
diately fell into the trap and went
down for good. He was unable to
rise from the mat for some minutes
and it was feared he had been seri-
ously injured.

WHY WE MUST SAVE MEAT
Statement Of the Reduction of Sup
plies Among Our Associates
In the War.

Food Administrator Deems is noti-
fed that a very great shortage exists
In English meat. The situation is Of
interest and importance in view Of
the fact that the withdrawal of meat
less days by the food administration,
was to continue until May 1. The
reports from England are to the effect
that the amount of homegrown meat
of all kinds corhing to the principal
markets there has averaged only 55.-
100000 pounds per week since Janu-
airy 1, as against 227,000,0O0 pounds
average for the same period in 1916.
The number of cattle coming to Eng
fish markets has decreased 60 per
cent, sheep 40 per cent and hogs 6S
per cent, compared to the same period
for 1916. These figures" said Mr..
Deems, "are a complete answer TO
anyone who may raise the question
as to why it Is necessary for the
United States TO send so much food

Planning the Kitchen.

In planning a new home or remod.
cling an old one it should always be
borne in mind that the placing of the
stove, sink and work table in such
way as to secure the advantages of
a compact workshop will save the
housekeeper many steps in the tasks
of the kitchen. Time and energy will
also be saved If the shelves, cup
boards and drawers are located near
the place where the Supplies or equip
ment which theyn arentbh contain are
to be used, and theys&iIItbe even more
convenient If they are so planned that
their contents may be easily and
quickly removed or replaced. In Sc
lectlng the equipment only that which
is most convenient and durable should
be purchased. AS in any well-regu-
lated workshop, all the equipment nee
essary for the convenience of the
worker should be supplied, but that
equipment should be Installed first Of
all which will be used most often.

Card for Your Kitchen.


The States Relations service of the
United States department of agricul-
ture has recently issued "a Guide in
Baking" The whole thing is printed
on card, ten by five and a half
inches, suitable to hang on the kitchen
wall. On it are the measurements of
flour. The weights and measures were
tested in the Office of Home Economics.
The table, adhered to, will enable the
housewife to make good griddle cakes,
mullins, cakes, cookies, drop biscuits
and nut or raisin bread without using
any wheat flour.
Whatever recipes she has used sue
cessfully with wheat flour, she may
continue to use successfully with sub.
stitutes for wheat flour. For instance
the table shows that, if one cup of
wheat -four was used in a certain
recipe and 1t is desired to substitute
barley flour, one and three-eighths
cups will be necessary, while all the
other ingredients remain as in the old
recipe. A number Of good combina.
lions are worked out. By mixing two
of the substitutes as indicated, the
housewife will get better results than
If she used one substitute. At the
bottom of the card are half a dozen
Cautions" aids in baking with sub.
stitute flours that have been carefully
worked out by experts. A copy Of the
card may be had from the States Re.

ture, Washington, ID. G.
