Milk Cows Under Fire.

a curious incident has been reported
from the Merville sector. 4 few days
ago n large herd of cows. which had
been abandoned. was still grazing in
No Mans land between Nieppe forest
and Mervillc. The British Tommies
sat in their defenses for n long time,
specnlating longingly how fresh milk
would taste. Finally the desire for
milk became overpowering. Some
hardy pioneers ventured forth with
tins and amidst the singing OF bullets
milked the cows.

When the Germans surged forward
over their wide battle front and struck
deep into the allied territory. they over
ran places where for a long time Brit
ish casualty clearing stations had been
established. 1t is an arduous task to

Of wounded men, who almost always
fiji the wards.
But while some Of the weighty ma .
terial was lost. these hospitals were
pulled back, and not only that. but the

rearguard action BY establishing
emergency stations as they retired and
taking care of newly wounded who
were continually streaming back from
the neighboring battle lines.

Apple Butter Saves surpIu.


Do not let the surplus apples go to
waste, make them into apple butter.
Summer apples make splendid apple
butter, even without the use Of boiled
cider, which, however, is desirable
addition if it can be obtained. Pare,
core and cut up the apples, add littla
water and stew into apple sauce. Let
this simmer gently at the back of the
stove for several hours, stirring &C.
casionally as needed to prevent stick
ing. When it is two-thirds done add
one pound of white or brown sugar to
each gallon. After cooking thick
enough, stir in spices to taste. Pack
in sterilized containers and cover with
melted paraf1in.
If sweet cider is to be used boil it
down to half the original volume. By
boiling it to a thick lump, less sugar
is required. To each gallon of sweet
cider use gallon Of pared, cored and
sliced apples. Either add these to the
boiled cider and begin cooking, or
stew them into apple sauce and add
the sauce to the boiled cider. Cook
gently but stir often for two hours,
then add half pound Of sugar to each
gallon of product, or use no sugar.
Continue cooking and stirring until
thick enough, stir in spices to taste,
pack In sterilized containers and cover
with melted paraffin.

Everything, from richest furs to
kitchen aprons and war oyeralls. was
given a chance in the recent style
show at the Hotel Morrison, Chicago.
It was real exposition Of practical
garments of all sorts, designed by
Americans, for Americans, and not
merely competition between manu-
facturers to see which could exhibit
the most unusual, expensive and elab-
crate designs in women's apparel. The.
garments were made to sell, not simply
for exhibition, and therefore one could
Judge from them the standards reached
and the progress made in public taste.
1t was q valuable and interesting c4-
hibit.
There was great deal of interest In
the new service suits for women who
have taken up work usually done by
men-as work in factories, munitions
plants, gardens and the lighter farm
work. The suits are made with trou-
sers instead of skirts and usually In
one piece with a blouse. Several varie-
ties Of overalls were among them and
these twarlady clothes proved more
slightly than the usual skirt and blouse
that are so prone to part company.
Nightdresses and negligees were not
neglected; for the eternal feminine may
clothe herself in war oyeralls five or
eight hours In the day Tin order to be
able to buy dainty and frivolous things
for other hours) but she will not be
'weaned away from flmy fabrics and
laces. A pretty nightdress and neg
ligee,. shown in the picture, were
among the most graceful Of several
such garments in the exhibit at the
style show. The nightdress Of Main

the world, to take the beauty out Of
our days, to disturb our rest and to
make us obey. They are still ordering
us about, treating us as ciphers. They
own the streets, the man who blows
them, and the people VINO inhabit the
globe. They rule and dictate, and we
disobey at our peril.
Some day we shall pluck up courage
to take the unruly fellow in hand. He
will not always be allowed to screech,
to below or shrek and generally to
indulge his proclivities for making q

the cock that crows, the dog that

bell that clangs, from certain peaceful

The melancholy days have come, but
30 have the new fall hats, and they
have brought along with them q sure
cure for the blues. 1t is just out Of
the question to try on this enticing
new millinery and go on regretting
the passing Of summer at the same
time, for winter is foreshadowed and
welcomed by the loveliest Of head
wear. The war has thrown Americans
on their own resources In designing, to
a greater extent than ever before; 1t
Is hard to tell just how much we owe
to our own homegrown" milliners,
but there cannot be two opinions about
the new hats. They are excellent
from every standpoint.
There are shapes that are large and
there are small hats, and all Of them
are graceful. Lines are wonderful and
trimmings do not interfere with them
or blur them. Brims are irregular,
crowns are soft, materials are rich
and trimmings simple. Much hand
craft appears In the making Of these
hats and in the making of their trim
, mings. The predominating colOrs are
quiet, but nevertheless brilliance is
universal in the seasons models.
| A group Of representative hats is
pictured above. The shapes have style
and becomingness to recommend them
and include the principal types Of hats
| to be worn during the coming season.
| At the top hat Of dark blue panne
velvet is faced with long-napped bea-
yer and has band Of beaver about
i the crown. There is a silk tassel Of
the same color for the trimming. The

front. There is an embroidered me-

that are much longer than sleeves havs
been for several seasons. There is not
much needlework on this gown, Int
what there is, is very well done.
The negligee is long slip of plaft-
ed silk with an overdrop of lace that
hangs from the shoulders, having the
effect-o a short, full lace coat. 1t is
open down the front and is to be worn
over lacey pettieoat or slipped over
the rnightdress for bedroom wear. Satin
slippers edged with silk fringe are a
detail worth remembering for pretty
negligees demand the right sort OF

NEED OF VEGETABLES

Remember that vegetables
are not only good to eat but
good for you-make the most
Of the varieties that the summer
brings.
Leaf vegetables, lettuce, spin
ach and cabbage that are large
" water are splendid food, for
they furnish valuable minerals
which your body needs as well
as growth-promoting substances
that help make children grow
and keep adults healthy.
Minerals in vegetables keep
your blood as it ought to be and
your whole body in good con-
dition.
Vegetables are better than
medicine to prevent the common
evil Of constipation.
Serve a quantity of vegetables
and you will need less bread
and meat in the meals.
