ToDAY'S ANNIVERSARIES.

The first modern thermometer, in which mercury was used, was the in- vention of Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit, a German natural philosopher, who died 1S2 years ago today. Fahrenheit was a native of Danzig, and failed as a merchant before he turned his at tention to the making of thermome- ters. At first he used spirits of wine in tubes, but was dissatisfied with the result and then used mercury with great success. He opened a shop in Amsterdam, and from there. his in strunents soon spread throughout the world. The scale suggested by Fah- renheit is still -in', general uso in a large part3 of tho world. Cautiously enough. it IS not used in Germany, where the scale stiEges stsdy by Celsius, of Stockholm and TSea aufnur of France $ used. In England and America, however, FahrenheIts scale is used Before the invention of the thermo- meter there was no way of measurins he temperature.

AMERICANS MAKE
 QUICK MOVES IN FOREIGN COUNTRY

With the American Army in France Sent. 16-To hang onto the heels of retreating. enemy and keep begging away at him day after day is not an easy undertaking even for veteran warriors.
 When the Germans recrossed the Marne northward bound with the GrneMcans not far behind, various units of the American army were call ed upon for operation.in in this kind or warfare for the first time. But even German prisoners taken by the Americans gave credit to the Yankees for their spirit of persistence an" maryeled at their ingenuity and re- cuperative abilities
 Field operations for the Franco American offensive virtually were completed in a night. One Amerlcdi. !. ! division marched all night, part or the next day and that night, anu went into action at daylight, July To- Other divisions accomplished Simllar tasks equally as strenuous, several ol them coming some distance and the boys encountering strange terralh which appeared to stimulate thelr tbIrst for adventure as they went on and on not knowing what to expect next. ,.
 The men didn't know exactly just what the schedule called for-that IS; 4hey hadn't been told officially. Even cantains and lieutenants say they were not notified formally of the attack contempIated-such Is the way an army works-but like their men they had a pretty good idea of what was in store for them, or rather or the surprise that was in the making TOT the Germans.
 When the Americans, In conjunc' ton with the French, started the or fensive that morning, and kept going until the Germans reached the Nesle automatically began the task of the various departments in keeping IT touch with an advancing army ant furnishing 1t with ammunition, fooC and great stores of supplies whicf only armies need.

URGE CLEAN DAIRY UTENSILS
Dirt Is Cause of Production Of Much
Poor Milk, Cream and Butter
Wash Separator.

Much poor milk, cream and butter
are produced because of dirty uten-
sis. 1t is not necessary that the dirt
be present in sufficient quantities to
be seen by the naked eye In order to
render the can unfit for use.
The unclean separator is another
common source of contamination. The
separator should be taken apart and
carefully washed and scalded after
each separation. After the separator
parts and utensils have been cleaned
and dried, they should have a clean,
dry appearance and should not be
greasy to the touch.
A greasy coating on the interior of
II milk can will spoil milk or cream in
a very few hours. 1t doesn't cost any
more to keep the utensils clean and the
results obtained are more satisfactory
In every way.

BROUGHT THEM UP STANDING
American Soldiers Misunderstood
Cockneys Announcement and
Wanted a Cut of That "Pie."

Stories of the Thanksgiving day din
ner which certain tea shops and res
taurants prepared for American sol
diers in Paris are still current with
guesSes as to how many turkeys with
their "tiXings" were consumed.
One of the best yarns is told Of a
party of Uncle Sans engineers who
had their spread at an English tea
place near the Madeline, where an
elaborate menu at fixed price had
been advertised.
The soldier boys came early and ate
steadily and thoroughly Their per-
sistence and failure to show any signs
of faltering began to get on the nerves
of the little cOckney waiter
After serving the second or third
round of dessert and filling the coffee
cups several times he became quite
jumpy as the boys showed no signs Of
their intention to leave the table. Then
he had an idea-such as it was-he
would suggest it was time to settle for
their dinner
"Py at the end " he shouted.
Every American soldier was on his
feet in a flash.
"Where's that pie, cockney?' they
demanded.
But that waiter had started for
Blighty.

WATER GIVEN MILKING cows
Test Proves That Animals Drink at
Pond or Creek Only Enough to
Satisfy Cravings.

It stands to reason that in winter
the water given milking cows should
not be icy. Many farmers boast of
the fact that they own creeks or ponds
to which their cows have access in
cold weather. And while this saves
work and expense, it is hard on the
cows, though the farmers claim it is
not. If you want to test the matter,
let your COWS go to the pond or creek
and drink through the Ice. Then,
when you have returned to the sta
BILE, carry in water that is not lower
than about 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and
see how your cows will go after it.
This proves that they drink at the
pond or creek only enough to satisfy
their immediate cravings and not
enough to fill their bags with milk.
