Then the Burgomaster arrived, closed

her name to an official paper. That
done, he curtly informed them that
the dance would not take place. The
next day policemen visited the girls
homes and confscated their ribbons

amount of corn which can probably
be raised to fatten them.

Fringe is still used with distinction.
This is style that might easily have
been run to the ground, but because of
the cleverness of the designers it is
still good style and excellent results
are still obtained with fringe of many

usage Of fringe is this: Unevenness.
Fringe on the edges of panels is SO put

Just as the perpIeXed reporter OF
fashions is about to begin to describe
some fetching new fur garment as a
cape, She discovers that it has an in
disputable claim to be called a scarf.
Ard when she has decided that it be-
longs to the straightforward, upright
and downright scarf family, she finds
it consorting with a belt, something
scarfs and capes have heretofore not
done. Eccentric and interesting
these are the terms that belong to the
small fur garments that have lent a
willing ear to tales Of alluring camou-
flage this season. They look like so
many things we finally have to call
them by the most indefinite Of terms
merely 'garments''-they are that any
way.
Here is one of them which is a cape
so far as the back and shoulders are
concerned, a scarf so far as the front
goes, and a jacket, If we take the
belts word for it. 1t is made of Hud-

teristic of fur garments this season.
Hardly one of them but has two kinds
of fur in its makeup.

Hogs Kept Under Conditions Here
Shown Are More Susceptible to Dis
ease Than Those Kept Under SAM
tary Conditions.
Animals that show indications OF sick
ness should be Immediately isolated
and the premises thoroughly disinfect-
ed. New hogs brought to the farm
should be isolated or quarantined for
several days before they are permitted
to run with the herd.
Hogs, and especially young pigs,
often suffer much from lice. When
numerous, lice are q serious drain on
vitality, fattening is prevented by
them, and hogs so affected are very
much more subject to disease. To
eradicate lice, dip, spray, or rub hogs
with crude Oil, crude-oil emulsion, or
kerosene-oil emulsion every ten days
for three or four applications.
A very troublesome affection with
hogs is caused by a mite or parasite
that pricks the skin OF the hog to get
tissue fluid This injury produces a
red spot which finally results in
scale under which mites may be found.
The symptoms are itching followed by
a loss OF hair and thickening and
cracking of the skin. Treat mango
by applying lime sulphur or nicotine
dip once every ten days for three dip
pings. Hogs should be washed thor
eughly with soap, water, and brush
before dipping to remove the scales.

SAVING FUEL is
PATRIOTIC DUTY
Housewives Are Urged to Prac-
tiCe Economy in Arranging
Meals for Family.
COOK entire MEAL in OVEN
Compartment Vessel Which Enables
One to Cook Two or Three Vege-
tables Over One Burner Is
Worthy of Attention.

It is just as much a patriotic serv-
ice for you to save fuel as to save
food. War activities call for great
quantities of fuel in addition to the
usual demand. To make this supply
available every American must save.
A little thought in the planning of
your meals, with the saving of fuel in
view, will make it possible to save an
appreciable amount each day.
Utilizing the Flame.
For the woman who cooks with gas
or liquid fuel, many economies are
practicable. The purchase Of a COM
partment vessel which enables one to
cook two or three vegetables over one
burner is a worthwhile economy,
since the gas from one burner cooks
the food ordinarily requiring three
burners. Or if you have a cOlander
or a wire basket that fits over an or
binary kettle you can steam such vege-
tables as squash, peas or carrots over
the kettle in which the potatoes are
boiling.
Remember that when the fame
spreads up around the side Of the
vessel you waste gas. Turn down the
flame after the boiling point is reached,
for the potatoes will not cook any
more quickly in water that is boiling
fast than in water that is boiling
slowly.
The greatest amount of gas wasted,
however, is by the indiScriminate use
of the oven. Too often the oven is
lighted to bake, a single dish when by
a little careful planning the whole
dinner can be baked by the heat ex-
pended upon one dish.
Three FueI-SaVing Dinners.
Here are three dinners planned to
utilize the heat of the oven to the
best advantage, all the hot dishes Of
which may be baked at the same time.
Peppers stuffed with Rice and Cheese.
Baked Potatoes Baked Onions.
Corn Dodgers. Butter.
Sliced Tomatoes.
Baked Cocoanut Custard.
Roast Beef with Drowned Potatoes and
Gravy.
Baked Whole Tomatoes.
Fresh Celery.
Bran Biscuit. Butter.
Apple Betty.
Ill.
Smothered Veal.
Glazed Sweet Potatoes.
Baked Corn. Pickles.
Bread. Butter
Sliced Fresh Peaches or Baked Dried
Peaches
Oatmeal Drop Cookies.
It may not always be convenient to
have such a baked dinner, but if you
do light the oven to bake cake or even
quick bread, think ahead far enough
to have some sort of fruit or pudding
ready to put in the oven for use at a
later meal. If such care is used it
may prove better economy to make
frequent use of the oven.
Save Time as Well as Fuel.
Another way to save fuel is the use
of the fireless cooker for meat, cereals,
and some vegetables. The main point
in the conservation of fuel in cooking
is planning ahead how to make the
best use of the smallest amount Of
fuel. A meal cooked with the aid Of a
fireless cooker must be planned ahead,
for time is required for this type of

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
sauerkraut Is in Season.

Attempts have been made to keep
popular the tasteful and popular dish
Of sauerkraat by changing the name
to Liberty cabbage. But if the rose
will smell as sweet by any other name,
so will sauerkraut taste as good to
many people whether it's name be
changed or not.
The essential points to make
good kraut are the use of mature
sound cabbage, scrupulous cleanliness
throughout the process. and proper
care of the surface of the brine after
fermentation is completed.
In making sauerkraut for home pur-
poses the outer green leaves of the
cabbage should be removed, just as
in preparing the head for boiling. In
addition, all decayed or bruised leaves
should be discarded and the core re-
moved. If an instrument for this pur-
pose is not available, it is advisable
to quarter the heads and slice off the
part of the core remaining on each
quarter. The cabbage should be
shredded by one of the hand7shreddfng
machines sold upon the maEket for
such purposes, on. if one is not avail
able, the heads may be cut into thin
slices with a Slaw cutter or a large
knife.
The shredded cabbage should be
packed Immediately into a perfectly
clean, water-tight receptacle. such as
a cider or wine barrel, keg, or tub. AS
it is packed into the receptacle add
salt in the proportion of one pound Of
salt to forty pounds Of cabbage, dis
tributing it evenly throughout the cab
bage. Experiments have shown that
approximately two and one-half
pounds of salt to each one hundred
pounds of shredded cabbage give the
best flavor to the resulting kraut.
When the barrel or crock is nearly
full, the cabbage should be pressed
down as firmly as possible and eov-
cred with a clean board cover Il is
advisable, but not essential, that clean
cloth be placed over the cabbage be-
fore the cover is put into place. The
salt soon extracts a considerable
amount Of the cabbage juice from the
cabbage, and sufficient weight of
clean brick or stone should be added
to cause the brine to rise UP to the
wooden cover. Set the container aside
until fermentation is complete and
skim off any scum that forms.
To prevent your little girls stock
ings tearing with the suspenders,
make an eyelet hole at the top Of the
stocking, worked strongly round. You
can then pass the suspender through
the hole.
