President Approves the
Timely Injunction Sent
BY RedfieId to Chiefs

President Wilson has set the stamp
of his approval upon a timely injunc-
ton addressed by Secretary Redfeld
to his bureau chiefs. 1t is to be cir
culated, posted up, and made guild
ing rule in the transaction of all war
business. 1t should be golden rule,
a precept always to be needed:
''Forget how things were done be-
fore the war; eliminate red tape,
We must learn with Germans that the
war won't watt Delay is the kaiser's
ally"
Heads Of department bureaus are
not alone insisting upon doing things
this year as they did them last year
and the year before that. The "busi-
ness as usual" pleasure as usual"
and "my own interests first" advocates
are just as guilty as the tape-bound
bureau chiefs. All such are playing
Germany's game of delay.
It is the business of each individual
to bestir himself to help win the war.
1t is the business of all to realize that
everything is changed, that nothing can
be done this year as it was last.
We must do the things the war de-
mands, and do them now.

THE DOLLAR QUEST

OF the dollar you'll find
There is many a kind
While you seek II, as men nave to do:
And you shouldn't neglect
Some care to select
The kind 1t Is best to pursue.
There's the dollar that works,
And the dollar that shirks;
There's the dollar that loves to assist;
There's the dollar that slacks
And just stands in its tracks,
When 1t ought to get out and enlist.
There's the dollar that thrives
And the one that contrives,
An indolent fancy to please;
The dollar that hopes
And the dollar that gropes
In the haunts of improvident ease.
There are dollars that roam;
There are those that stay home.
They are built both for Joy and regret.
And success will depend,
More or less, in the end,
On the kind of dollar you get.

Mems Clothing for Spring
Lighter Weight Than Usual

With the wind-up of the buying sea-
son for spring delivery, manufacturers
in New York Of mems clothing find
themselves with a volume Of orders on
hand which, in most cases, Is above the
record for the corresponding period a
year ago. 1t Is said that, as rule,
the fabrics to be used in these gar
ments for next spring are lighter in
weight than ordinarily. In other re-
spects, however, there is practically
no evidence of the war regulations"
the notifications in styles that have
been agreed to applying more to next
fall than to the coming spring sea-
son. Patch pockets will be worn a
great deal, anc many double-breasted
coats have been sold. Trousers will
be turned up Mt the bottom as usual,
though this feature may be cut out in
the fall styles. The cloths used are
mostly of subdued colors and COM
binations Of colors, and conservatism
seems to rule in the great majority of
cases.

Thought Cakes Tainted.

Virginia loved to help her mother.
One day her mother was making q
special effort to bake prize cake for
the church fair and Virginia was all
interest. The cake rose beautifully
and appeared to be thoroughly done,
but when removed from the stove It
fell fiat and had n sad streak through
the center. Another cake was immedi-
ately mixed in haste and little Vir-
ginia's eyes grew large as she listened
to her mother lamenting over the first
sad cake that had fallen. The second
baking proved the same as the first,
but the third attempt resulted in a
veritable triumph. Virginia, however,
could not rally from the mornings
tragedy, and when her aunt came over
she exclaimed in great excitement:
"Oh, auntie, mother made three cakes
and two of 'em tainted"

Culture ButtermfIk More
Beneficial as Drink; Has
More of the lactic Acid

Culture buttermilk Is more beneficial
as drink than the common variety,
according to C. Il. Buchanan of the
dairy department of the Kansas State
Agricultural college. 1t is more like
ly to be free from harmful bacteria,
and to contain more of the Tactic acid
which gives 1t its healthful properties.
Tactic acid bacteria are present in
the digestive tract and destroy other
bacteria which might prove injurious
to the body. The use of buttermilk as
beverage is one method of introduc-
ing more of these Tactic bacteria into
the system.
Whole or skim milk may be used to
make culture buttermilk, but usually
these are combined in equal parts. The
milk is first subjected to temperature
of $50 degrees for 30 minutes to steri-
lize 1t. 1t is then cooled to 40 de-
grees and small amount of starter
is added. The milk is kept at this
temperature for ten or twelve hours
until the whole is coagulated. After.
wards it is beaten thoroughly or churn-
ed from three to five minutes and salt
ed-one teaSpoonful of salt to each
gallon. The buttermilk is then cooled
to 80 degrees, ut which temperature it
is kept ready for use.
The starter is made from pure Tactic
acid culture obtained from the labora-
tories where it is cultivated. The lac
tic acid bacteria are carried by means
of sterilized milk powder made from
the dried casein of milk.
A small quantity Of this powder is
put into small bottle of milk, which
soon coagulates. The curded milk is
used in a new bottle of milk the next
dcy and this process is continued
through three or four propagations.
These preliminary propagations of the
starter are necessary to eliminate the
peculiar taste of the original powdered
milk culture.

Cats Eat Only Scraps.

"There is absolutely no justification
FOR anyone's proposing to destroy the
cats to save the food they eat" said
Or. F. J. Flanagan of the Boston Cat
club. "Not from any angle. They eat
the scraps from the table which would
only accumulate and be dumped into
the garbage pail. The refuse can't be
used to feed pigs, because no one in
Boston can get permit to raise them.
Il is taken down the bay by the Bos-
ton Developing company and turned
Into fertilizer; but the amount which
the cats use is 20 small that It isn't
worth counting"

Sayings of a Cynic.

Anything that disturbs seren-
ity is an enemy of thought. The
Shrek of n penny whistle may
cost the world n masterpiece.
The possession of wealth has
little to do with real happiness.
Often n one-legged beggar on
the street is happy.
He of the fishy handshake is
easy to index.
There are people so filed
with egotlsm that they can strut
standing still.
A trip to the country often
proves to be mainly the pur-
chasing of expensive incon-
venlences.

Old Shoes for Paving.

Wornout boots and shoes, chopped
up and mixed with Stag, granite. lime
stone, asphalt, and bitumen, make fine
roads. The patent on this process was
issued in 1910 in England, and the
roads that have been paved with the
product wear well, are resilient and
have little dust.

Good Food for the Family.
While we are cutting down on our
meat, using less beef, mutton and pork,
the following recipe will help out when
planning beef dinner:
Beef and Kidney Ragout.
Wash skin and cut beef kidney into
one-fOurth-inch cubes; wipe pound of
stew meat and cut into inch cubes.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and
dredge with flour. Cut two slices of
bacon into dice, put into saucepan. add
one onion peeled and sliced, cook three
minutes, then add the meat and stir
and cook until well Drowned. Add n
cupful of boiling water, a tablespoonful
of Worcestershire sauce and one green
pepper cut in strips; bring to the boil
Ing point, and cook slowly until the
meat Is tender. Thicken the gravy,
add half-cupful of stoned ripe olives
and garnish with rings of green pepper
and fried mush.
salad that Is most appetizing Is
made of small head of cabbage and
one onion chopped fine. Cut thick
slice of salt pork into small dice and
fry out until brown; pour the fat all
over the cabbage, stir well, add salt
and pepper to taste. then pour over
enough boiling hot vinegar to moisten
and further season the cabbage. Serve
