THE DAY
BY JULIET WILeoR ToMPkiNs
Of the vioIIantss.


1t will come some day-do you rea-
lize it7 On some one glorious day the
enemy will cry, "Kameradl" in good
earnest. and there will be peace.
Picture that day. The crowds In the
streets are going about their business,
the Red Cross rooms are hummlng
with work, the thousand war activities
are grinding at full speed, every moth
er and father is facing the morning
with heart braced for loss, every
loyal citizen is at his post of service;
and suddenly the news!
The crowded avenues turn white;
all up and down their length they have
blossomed white with the open news
papers that have magically sprung In
to every ones outstretched hands.
Everybody in the long. stopped stream
of humanity holds a newspaper or
reads his neighbor's; everybody knows
everybody, shares with everybody;
strange hands clasp, strange eyes.
meeting. overflow; and there Is just
one first thought, not triumph. nor
democracy, but -"Those boys-those
good boys-they can come homel"
And the second thought will be. "We've
done 1t! We've put 1t through"
And then, standing there, they begin
to sing, the men with barred heads !;
they send up such a song as the skies
have never heard since time was
"Glory. glory. hallelujah !'-"Praise
God, from whom all blessings fowl"
The melting pot is slow process
that song will melt all into blood
brothers at the first chord. Oh, how
they will sing. those standing men and
women! And then with one impulse
they will surge into the churches, into
the cathedrals-for when man has
been granted the supreme boon. he
must fall on his knees. whether he
knows God or not. And no one who
rises up from that silence will ever
lose its mighty vibration.
That day is not vision; 1t is COM
ing as surely as tomorrow. Then will
you have 1t tomorrow? Or will you
put 1t of for four more bleeding years?
1t is in your hands. Every effort,
every dollar, you give to service. short
ems the waiting. II all gave all they
could, the day could not hold back an
other hour. When you buy the things
you most want. you are not conscious
Of sacrifice In paying the sum de-
manded. Fix your eyes on the day
the day when the avenues will sudden
ly blossom white with the news OF
peace-and you will want that with so
burning an urgency that you will come
running with Its price.

OUR BOYS LOVER THERE"

In very little while now there
will be a million American boys
on the firing line in France and
Flanders.
Already there are some mil
lions of British and French boys
on that line-boys who have
been there, some of them. for
four years, offering their lives
in defense of your home quite as
much as of their own, warding
off the atrocities of the Boche
brutes from your loved ones,
though they have not been quite
able to ward them off from their
own. mothers and sisters.
All of those boys, ours and
others, will remain there. and the
cry .SThey shall not passi" will
be made good-so long as the
flow of American meats across
the ocean is ample and uninter-
rupted.
The requirement of us at home
is a very simple requirement.
1t does not limit us in any way
to a meatless diet. 1t leaves us
large choice of very excellent
meats.
But 1t does demand that we
eat less of beef, no canned beef.
and not too much of any meat
that is at all suitable for over
seas.
OF course, none of us would
deliberately fall to do that little
bit for the men who are sacri-
ficing for us their treasure of
youth and hope and love. No
American worthy the name ex-
ats his belly above the sacred
things of home and country.
Only some Of us might be
thoughtless.
Therefore take thought.

Careful Patient.

A woman whose throat had troubled
her for n long time grew impatient ut
the slow progress she was making and
made complaint to her doctor.
MADAME" he said. Il can never
cure you of this throat trouble unless
you stop talking and give your throat
complete rest"
But, DOCTOR" objected his patient,
I'm very careful of what l say.

of thnt kind"

to stay on during the summer too, and
see all that is going on. We came
from the riverside where 1t was SO
damp and marshy that we were made
strong and very beautiful. We're glad
we can give so much pleasure too. SO
many children we have heard say that
forget-me-nots were their favorite

".Ah,' said Sir Iris, I'VE have many
handsome suits to be worn by our
family. They're quite magnificent.
We are indeed almost like the royal

"'we're all glad to be beautiful be-

"'Ah, yes, we're not conceited,' said
Master Blue Pansy, we Just want to

"Indeed we do said Miss Peony.

"There are flowers which come In

always so welcome because after a

people are so happy to see the flowers

"'Children love to gather the early

"In the autumn there are other

"Tn the summer the flowers are

A few sliced berries may be used
for the sherbet cups of junket or for
squares of angel cake with whipped
cream and berries for dessert.
A little sugar added to the roast

it will brown with richer color.

As result of this years campaign,
10000 more square miles of territory
will be freed from the tick and an al
mcst incalculable quantity of meat
and milk added to the national pro-
duction. The campaign needs, OF
course. the cooperation of every per-
son who owns cattle in infested terri
tory. There are left only very few
men who try to hold out against tick
eradication methods.

Watch Stock FOR EIx Injury.

To prevent fly pests of 1--we STOCK
from causing serious Injury. the stock
should be carefully watched and when
the presence Of maggots is discovered
in wounds or in soiled wool, appropri-
ate remedy should be applied. Chloro-
form is the best remedy to kill mag
gots in wounds. AS the wound is
cleansed some effective fly repellent
such as pine tar should be smeared
over the wound and about its edges.

used. Milk bottles should be carefully
wiped before removing the cap for
two reasons. the first because of
cleanliness, the second because bits
of glass are often Clipped out of the
bottle In transit and are unnoticed,
even when they drop off into the milk
when pouring 1t from the bottle.
Kindling may be carried very easily
by using piece of canvas with strong
handles. Cut the cloth As by 81
inches.
Use wooden spoons in stirring foods.
A hard rap of metal spoon on the
side of granite dish will dislodge
pieces of the lining OF the dish !; this
gets into the food and Is as dangerous
as glass. wooden spoon never be-
comes too hot to handle and Is much
easier on the hands in stirring.
Water drained from cooked rice or
macaronl makes fine starch for laces
or delicate dresses.
Brooms are too expensive these
days to treat without consideration.
They should always be hung or turned
upside down. resting on the handle.
Grated potato used as poultice
over an inflamed eye will relieve 1t II
left overnight.
A sauce dish of leftover preserves
may be thickened with little gela-
tin, with grating of lemon or n bot
tie of lemon juice added. then served
with whipped cream, making dainty
dessert and an economical one.
The dish of onions left from to-
days dinner may be put through n
sieve and served in tomorrow's meat
sauce.
Nails and roughness in the heel of
n shoe will rub and wear the hose.
Pound down the nails and glue a piece
OF heavy cloth or chamols skin into
each heel. This will save the feet
and also the hose.
The wise buyer will purchase good
sized eggs when possible, and when
starting the poultry yard see that
she has strain OF hens which pro-
duce large eggs. Small eggs should
not demand the same price. Weighing
eggs Is wise and economical method,
and will in time discourage the pro-
duction of small eggs.
