During the past few months the
number Of cars In use has grown rap
idly; there are more garages, and a
good volume Of orders has been placed.
There are now licensed in the colony
lbs motorcars and 11S motorcycles,
compared with 105 cars and 81 motor
cycles In December. 1915. A canvass
Of the dealers and garages indicates
that between Is and 30 new cars have
been ordered. all from the United
States. Most Of them are popular
priced machines, but there Is an in
creasing demand for the higher-grade
ones. An order for II placed By one

demand promises to continue for
some time. although the market may
easily be overst0cked.

Concealing of trenches is but an imi-
tation of the instructive protection pre-
pared over the burrows and holes Of
wild animals.
When fighting in a desert land or an
arid country. the trenches are hidden
with sand emplacements-if the VI
cinity Is wooded or brush covered. hur-
dies of woven withes, fascines. shrub
berry, and hedges are employed to hide
the actions of the opposing forces.
The uniforms which our soldiers have
adopted are those which most readily
fuse into the topography.
A comparison of the natural inStinc-
tive concealment practiced by the hunt

Man has constructed the submarine

Use Milk, but Save Il

How can the consumer help the milk
supply? By tudicious use. good care,
and by utilizing It In all its forms.
That half cupful of milk which was
poured into the sink today because It
was allowed to SQUIRT would have
made q substantial amount Of cottage
cheese or could have been used in
cooking.
In many households quite a little
milk IL wasted-left uncovered in
glasses-regarded useless because the
cream has been SKINNED OF, allowed
to sour-poured down the sink or
thrown away. Half a cupful Of milk
whole. SKINNED or sOur-seemIngly a
trifiing matter. hardly worth the trou-
BILE to keep or use.
But II every one Of the 10000, 600
homes should waste on the average
one-half cupful daily, 1t would mean
$500. 900 quarts daily for the country
81, 100000 quarts a year-the total
product Of more than 100000 cows. It
takes a lot Of grass and grain to make
that much milk and an army of peo-
pie to produce and deliver 1t. Maybe
this estimate is too high. Suppose that
onehalf cupful Ii wasted in only one
out Of 100 homes. The waste which
this would make Is still intolerable
when milk is so nutritious. when skim
milk can be used in making such
wholesome soups and cereal dishes.
when sour milk can be used in bread
making or for cottage cheese.

Take Care Of the Milk.

Here are ten suggestions which milk
consumers could employ, not only to
conserve the supply, but to guarantee
more wholesome product for the
family:
i. Buy only the best milk obtainable.
1t is cheapest in the long run.
2. Consult the health department be-
fore selecting your milk dealer.
8. Buy only bottled milk II possible.
Dipped milk is often dirty and def
cient In cream.
4. Take milk into the house as soon
as it is delivered, and place 1t in the
refrigerator Immediately. Bacteria In
croases rapidly in milk which stands
IN the sun or warns up. and such milk
Will sour quickly.
5. Keep milk In the original bottle
In the refrigerator until the moment Of
serving. Milk which has been poured
from the bottle should not be returned
to II.
6. Keep the bottle covered with .
paper cap or an inverted tumbler. to
prevent the entrance of flies and dust.
which may carry dangerous bacteria
into the milk.
Z. Keep the refrigerator clean and
sweet BY means Of proper drainage and
frequent washing with scalding water
md sal soda, since milk quickly alb
serbs unpleasant odors and becomes
'sss palatable.
8. Wash milk bottles a. soon as emp
lied, By rinsfng first with lukewarm
water and then with hot water. II

house, do not return any bottles ex-
