SLACKERS OLD AND NEW
By CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY
Of the ViQiIantea.

The papers chronicle day by day the
steady advance Of the British soldiers
northward through Palestine. Their
lines extend from the Jordan to the
sea and they are slowly but surely
driving the Turks before them In this
latest, greatest and most decisive
crusade.
If the followers Of Mahomet can
make any stand against the followers
Of Christ 1t will surely be In the plain
of Esdraelon, one Of the natural bat
tIefields of the world. 1t Is singular
how some places lend themselves In
evitably to conflict. The plain OF Jez-
reel, to give 1t another name, Is one
| of these. 1t has been fought over con-
tinually since Thothmes there defeated
the Hittites In the dawn of recorded
history. Jew and Gentle; Canaanite.
Assyrian,' Babylonian, Scythinn, Per
sian. Greek and Roman contested for
It's mastery In the East; English.
French, Italian, German, Arabian, and
Turk from Godfrey and Richard and
| Saladin to Napoleon drenched its Ter
tile soil with blood in more modern
times. May the forthcoming be the
last Of its many battles, and Allenby
the last Of the long line Of crusaders.
One of the most decisive Of the con-
fiicts upon that plain occurred In 1895
3. C. when Barak, the Lightning. In
spired by Deborah led ten thousand
men down the slopes Of Mount Tabor
In a successful night onfall and sur
prise Of the army Of the oppressor'
Jabin Of Hazor. under the command
Of Sisera. The Hazorites were disas-
trously defeated, driven In panic ter
ror down the narrow pass cut by the
Klshon, then in full flood. and killed
or drowned In large numbers.
Deborah made great song about
the triumph. One stanza runs this
way:
"Curse ye Meroz, said the Angel OF
the Lord, curse We bitterly the inhab!
tants thereof: because they came moi
to the help Of the Lord. to the hefI
Of the Lord against the mighty"
No one knows where Meroz lay. NJ
ruined vestiges remain to identify 1t
There Is no other mention Of 1t In the
pages Of history. There Is no GROUND
even for speculation about 1t. Yet fo'
over thirty-two centuries 1t has beer
pilloried In its infamy In that immorta
} song. Whatever its prosperity and IT

MAKING MOST OF
ALL VEGETABLES
Families With Backyard Gar
dens Will Need to Do Little
Buying in the Markets.
PRACTICAL HINTS ARE GIVEN
One Of the Safest Rules for Keeping
Well ls to Eat Variety OF Food
Starch and Sugar Valuable
as Fuel Foods.

All over the country war gardens
have been planted to raise food to
"help halt the Hum"
This summer millions Of cans Of veg
etables will be put up by canneries
and housewives for winter use, Dut
everyone should have chance to eat
the fresh vegetables while they are at
their best. If you have more than
you can use now, sell them to your less
fortunate neighbor who has no garden.
What can't be used fresh, can for
winter.
One Of the safest rules for keeping
we'll is to eat a variety Of food. Veg
etables are q great help In giving va
riety to your meals.
Eat vegetables every day; many are
mild laxatiyes and they are better than
medicine.
Use many kinds and lots Of them.
Let them take the place Of part OF the
meat and bread you are using today.
Don't think that because vegetables
contain so much water they are not
good food. They are one Of the most
valuable kinds Of food we have. Veg
etables have their own particular part
In the diet which neither meats nor
cereals nor fruits nor sweets can play.
Part That Vegetables Play.
They are appetizers. Their delicious
fiavors stimulate digestion.
They furnish fuel and protein. Veg
etables, such as sweet potatoes
green lima beans, green corn, white
potatoes, green peas, onions, beets
carrots and squash contain enough
starch and sugar to make them valu
able as fuel foods. Some Of these arr
| protein foods, too.
| They help prevent constipation
The woody part Of vegetables is val
liable to give bulk to the food. Fol
| very small children 1t should be re
moved by rubbing the cooked vegeta
BILE through a sieve, but grown per
son of sound digestion needs some q
this woody portion. Don't cut out al
the hard part from asparagus and sucl
foods. The mild acid in such vege
tables as tomatoes has some Laxative
effect.
Minerals Are Needed.
They furnish mineral matter. Ihl
is one of the most important part
that vegetables play In the diet. with
out small amounts of mineral salts n
part Of the body can be built; the
are needed In nerves, brain, bone
blood and muscles. Even after growt
these minerals must be furnished I
replace the parts Of the body used u
by exercise They have an importan
part In keeping the different parts Q
the body working smoothly. Eat
variety of vegetables to furnish thes
much-needed minerals.
They furnish other important 100
constituents about which we kno
but little as yet. We do know. hoV
ever, that these substances play q
important part in promoting growth
the young and bodily well-being Il
everyone through life.
Eat the green leaf vegetables, lie
tuce, cabbage, caulifiower, Swiss char
collards, Brussels sprouts, celery al
onions. They are especially rich
these growth-promoting food constit
ents. Don't throw away your beet tor
onion tops. turnip tops and radl
tops, Serve them for greens

VELVET BEANS USED IN
FEEDING. BEEF CATTLE

One pound Of velvet bean meal OF
velvet beans in pod is equal to one
half pound of cottonseed meal for cat
tie feeding.
Velvet beans are composed of dry
matter, S7.79o; crude protein, 1897;
carbohydrates, 51.7%; fat, $3.50. Vel
vet bean meal is supposed to be the
same since it is usually made by
grinding the bean and pod together.
Velvet bean meal is sometimes adul-
terated, however, by adding pods that
come from beans that have been
threshed for seed or for hog feeding.
Therefore 1t is safest to buy the beans
in the pod. They can be purchased
more cheaply and as result are a
more economic feed.-Carl G. Filler,

In No Other Way Can the Dairy
Farmer Find Out His
Good Animals
THROW OUT THE BAD COWS
This Applies to the Man Who Has
Only Few Cows as Well as to the
Farmer Who has Many Cows and
Is Selling Milk.

(By H. 3. Baker, Dairy Specialist,
Division Of Extension, University Of
Tennessee, Knoxville.)
Thousands OF children in Europe are
dying from lack of milk and, as soon
as shipping tonnage is available, our
country is going to be drawn upon
more and more to supply this milk at
prices which will pay our dairy farm
ers to produce it. This market will
continue until the war ends, and until
the devastated countries can secure
dairy cows to supply the dairy prod
ucts needed. And where will they get
the dairy COWS? From America? AL
ready agents have been sent to this
country from some Of the European
countries to arrange for the purchase
of dairy cattle after the war These
countries are going to want good
cows, cows with records to show what
they are, and they are going to pay
prices for them unheard of before.
The man who quits the dairy bust
ness now is sure to regret it, This is
a time above all others when dairymen
should study the business and use
every means to improve the quality
and production of their herds. BY all
means, they should use good bulls, not
merely registered bulls, because regis
tration papers mean nothing unless
the bull has records of production
back of him. Every dairy farmer
should make special effort to raise
all the silage and legume hay needed
for his herd, and he Ishould have some
kind of winter pasture, and certainly
the summer pasture should be i'm.

ITS TWENTY-FIFTH BIRTHDAY.
cInematograph Industry May Be Said
to Be Celebrating That Event
This Year.

1t is rs years ago that the cine~
matograph industry received an inns
petus from which its present world
wide prosperity may be said to have
sprung, for Edison's. famous exhi-
bition of his kaleidoscope at the opens
ing of the worlds fair, Chicago,
demonstrated such an advance in
the presentation of Giving pictures"
as they were called, that it was evi.
dent that important developments
would follow.
The inventor of the celluloid roll
film three years before perhaps ren-
dered Edison's task less difficult, and
the employment of a film of $50
feet in length greatly impressed
those present at the initial display
The views were said to be jerky and
somewhat indistinct, but neverthe-
less were regarded as a wonderful
achievement. :
Improvements speedily followed
the results of which are not only en-
joyed now by millions Of people eve
cry week the world over, but have
fostered an industry providing reg
ular employment for thousands Of
people.

PUBLISHER IN HARD LUCK
Caught Between Two Fires When the
Conservation Ediot First
Went Into Effect

A Philadelphia publisher found
some time ago, when the aour-eon-
serving edict went into effect, that
he had on hand Is barrels of -four.
He had obtained it, of course, to use
in four-paste for his bindings.
He wrote a letter to the authors
ties telling them of his stock, Of
which he was forbidden to dispose
without a license, and asking what
he should do with it.
Months passed and no word came.
The other day he was startled by
being served with a notice of a crime
inal action brought against him for
boarding -four.
''What was I to do with the
flour?" he asked of the young attor-
ney who had brought him to book.
you should have sold 1t back to
the man you bought it from"
"But he was out Of business"
The man Of law was nonplused
and could offer no further sugges-
ton. An attempt is now being made
to find out the name of the dealers
successor in order to return the -four
to him.
The publisher, at any rate, is
