v4P0R BATHS IN LAPLAND
Writer'S Strenuous Experience Of
Cleansing Process Finishes With
Being Bastinadoed.

In Wide World Frank Hedges But
Ter describes a vapOr bath in the land
of the Lapps. He says:
The bathhouse is small wooden
structure generally situated some way
from the dwelling house. 1t is divided
into two compartments, one to undress
in, while the other contains the oven
which produces the steam. The oven
is arched with large stones or pebbles,
and heated by Il fire placed beneath.
Undressing in the first room, one en-
ters the heated compartment. After
short rest on a wooden form or bench,
which contains a place for the head,
the attendants come in and bathe you.
Cold water is thrown over the stones
and the kissing vapor soon sends up
cloud of steam. The higher you sit
from the floor the greater the heat. AS
more water is thrown over the red-hot
stones the vHpor becomes SO intense
that one can hardly breathe. We were
soon gasping for breath and covered
with a profuse perspiration which is
sued from every pore of the skin.
Hanging up in the room were tender
branches or twigs in green state and
retaining their leaves. Dipping these
in water the attendant began lashing
and whipping me across the legs,
shoulders, loins and back, till my body
seemed quite red with the switching.
The bastinadoing over, 1 was then
washed with a soft flannel covered
with soap, after which a jug of the
coolest water was thrown over my
head and body.

Curious Notion.

1t is a curious notion these days to

of cloth, just leaving room enough in
an under-arm seam for the arms to go
through. These are so simple to make

We face the truth quite calmly these
days, because, as Il nation, We usually
grapple with the inevitable with the
belief of youth and the patience of

men, and our nation is supposed to be

Will We Wear Mourning?
1t is a strange thing that today we
link this thinking and talking about

routine.
With this spirit the idea of deep
mourning is not consistent. The world
has gone through several rapid phases
on the subject of wearing crepe during
the last two years. France has been

A good quality of silage is extremely
palatable and can be fed to all classes
of sheep with good results. 1t must be
remembered. however, that silage
which is either very sour, moldy or
frozen should not be fed.
Use of this succulent feed for sheep
has attracted the attention of most
farmers only during the past few
years. Much has been said of it's bad
effects upon sheep, but these have been
due either to an inferior quality of
silage or carelessness of the feeder
and improper feeding.

sible-CIeanliness Urged.

Dairying-One of the largest of the
agricultural enterprises of this cOun-
try-has big war job. Dairy prod
ucts are essential to the well-being of
the nation. and it has been urged by
the United States department Of agri-
culture that every effort be made to
mainta1. the supply in this country,
and 50 far as possible, to meet the in
creaslng demands of the allies.
Before the war the United States
received dairy products from "a for
eign countries. Now these supplies
have been largely stopped and it has
become necessary not only to replace
them at home but to export large
quantities.
Turns Feed Into Food.
Two facts stand out prominently as
reasons for the increased production
and use of milk. The first is that milk
as purchased on the market usually
supplies food material together with
the grOwth-producing elements, more
economically than either meat or eggs.
The second reason is that the dairy
tow is the most economical producer
IF animal food. One great law of
food conservation is to turn inedible
feeds into edible foods in the cheapest
possible manner. The dairy COW will
utilize coarse materials, inedible by
humans, such as grass, cOrnstalks, hay,
etc, and will turn them into milk,
which is suitable for human food.
Other farm animals also are convert
rrs of coarse roughage into edible food,
but are not so efficient as the dairy

Consumer Must Be Careful.
If the milk producer and the milk
dealer have done their duty there is
eft daily at the consumers door

milk. By improper treatment in the
home the milk then may become unfit
for food. especially for babies, This
bad treatment may consist of placing
It in unclean vessels, exposing it un-
necessarily to the air; failing to keep

exposing it to flies.

the air or placed in unclean vessels.
Some of these may be the bacteria of
certain contagious diseases; others
may cause digestive troubles which in
the case of infants may prove fatal.
Cleanliness and cold are imperative
for good milk.
Here are some suggestions from
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture:
Avoid milk kept in can, open
much of the time and possibly without
at the bakery or grocery
store.
