EXERCISE OF GREAT VALUE
Massagng, Will Help to Gain
That Coveted ShapeIiness.

How many of us sigh over our I'M
shapely ankles! Yet if the trouble is
not caused by misshapen bones we can
do a great deal TO alter what distress
es US, states an authority.
Exercise and massage will accom-
plish miracles If adhered to regularly
and faithfully.
In routine, rather than in spasmodic
treatment, lies the secret of success in
any identifying method.
The same exercises that reduce
flesh will increase it provided that they
are done severely In the former case
and lightly in the latter.
For flesh is to be pulled off in one
instance and in the other developed.
Remove the shoes and stockings and,
sitting down, cross the knees so that
one foot is raised from the floor with
no support beneath it.
Move this foot with twisting mo-
ton from the ankle and then slowly
bend 1t up and down, letting all the
work be done from the ankle bone.
When one foot grows tired, repeat
ii with the other.
Then, standing and bearing the
weight upon the heels, turn the feet
from side to side and slowly rise W
and down upon the toes.
After ten minutes work plunge the
feet and ankles into q comfortably hot
bath and leave them there for five &c
ten minutes.

SOME DRESSY COAT BLOUSES
Peplum Models Chosen by French
Women in Preference to All Others,
Paris Correspondent Writes.

Blouse designers continue 10 show
peplum models. but many insist they
be called coat blouses, inasmuch as
the word peplum has not proved
Itself a sales maker during the past
two or three seasons. French women
prefer the peplum model 70 all others,
says a Paris writer, and there is no
denying that blouse that extends be-
low the waistline is more dressy than
the conventional model that reaches
Just to the waist and must depend
upon some sort of belt matching Ell
Their the skirt. of which it is the proper
companion piece. or matching the
blouse itself, 70 finish il off.
Peplum or coat blOuses have a bet
ter chance of life during the warm
months because in cold weather they
are seldom worn except as accompani
ment pieces for suits. In summer a
blouse and a separate skirt make up
q correct outfit. and If the skirt has a
matching coat il is more often than
not merely an incidental" and is
swung over the arm.

Homing Pigeons Cost Less
Than Any Other Soldiers
In Service of Uncle Sam

Someone has calculated that it costs
Uncle Sam about 81 200 TO train and
equip a soldier and make him ready
for the firing line. In the United
States army at present notes the New
York Herald. there is one little war
riOr who costs just : cents at the
outset and needs only a few cents
more a day for upkeep, but who, be-
cause of proven efficiency. Is now
slated for trip 10 France and
place in the fighting line.
The little soldier was one Of the
homing pigeon exhibits of the United
States government entered at the re-
cent poultry show in Madison Square
Garden 1t was originally the prop
erty of Maj Frank ]. Griffin. who sold
IL 10 the government for the nominal
price Of FIVE cents Major Griffin is In
command of the pigeon section of the
army. and because Ii is not customary
or proper for Uncle Sam TO compete
for prizes. he entered the bird and
had the satisfaction OF seeing IL carry
off the first award in its class and
also the blue ribbon for the best young
hen homer In the show.
Than the government homers no Sec
ton of the show attracted more gen.
eral attention. officers from the ar
mics of Great Britain and France

hibit. and a khaki-clad warrior ap-
preached Major Griffin 10 explain how

II q condensary Is within reasonable
distance the creameryman sometimes
can sell his skim milk there Very
few creamerics, however. are so stu
ated. and the largest opportunity for
the creameryman TO divert skim milk
and buttermilk into channels of hui
man consumption is by the manufac-
ture of cottage cheese. says the United
States department of agriculture.
This product is easy TO make and util-
ICES skim milk and good grades OF
buttermilk.
Cottage cheese is one of the impOr-
tant meat substitutes. 1t contains q
larger percentage of protein (the chief
material for body building) than most
meats and furnishes this material at
a lower cost. In every pound of cot
tage cheese there is about one-fifth of
q pound Of protein, nearly all of which
is digestible. Meats, on the other
hand, usually contain less protein and
besides have n certain waste, such as
bone and other inedible material. A
pound of cottage cheese daily would
supply all the protein required by the
ordinary adult engaged in sedentary
occupation.
The following table shows that cot
tage cheese is much cheaper than
meats in furnishing protein for the
diet.
For supplying protein, 1 pound of
cottage cheese equals:
1.27 pounds sirloin steak.
100 pounds round steak.
1877 pounds chuck rib beef.
1.52 pounds fowl.
1.46 pounds fresh ham.
La pounds smoked ham.
1.5S pounds loin pork chop.
1.31 pounds hind leg of lamb.
1S7 pounds breast Of veal.

PREVENT FIRE
LOSSES
By the u. s. Department
of Agriculture

Millions OF dollars worth Of agri-
cultural wealth is destroyed by fire
each year in the United States. At
normal prices and with an average
yield it would take the >reater part Of
the potato crop of the country to off
set all that is lost annually through
fires on farms. This is q dead loss
to the natiOn-for the fact that most
individual losers are partially REIN
bursed by insurance does not in the
least reduce the drain on our national
resourceS-and it is loss that is large
ly preventable.
The problem of fighting or prevent
Ing fire in the country districts is a
most serious one, for organized fire
prevention work such as has been de-
veloped 70 q science in many cities is
practically impossible in the country.
Some fires on farms may be unavOid-
able, but a great many of them could
be prevented by comparatively small
amount of time intelligently applied
by the individual farmers in the study
of conditions which are likely to cause
fire, and by placing simple and mex
pensive fire-fghting equipment in con-
venient places about the farm build
ings
The farmer should study his build
ings and their contents from the point
of view of the fire Inspector of the
city, whose sole business is to see all
the things that can be done TO I'M
prove conditions so that fire cannot
easily start, and to determine tho
best ways of fighting any fires that
may start. He should remember that
any preventive or protective measures
which he may take are for his own
benefit, and that protection sufficient
to prevent fire Is cheap as COM
pared with the loss entailed by the
average farm fire. Every building or
set of buildings has certain points
which are more susceptible TO fires
than others, but adequate protection
must be provided for the entire prem
Uses before the owner can be sure that
some weakrtss due to oversight or
feet of all the work previously done.
Most farmers carry fire insurance
on their buildings and contents Suffi-
cient partly 10 repay for any losses
that may occur; but this insurance is
paid from premiums which are nothing
more than a tax collected from the
policyholders for this purpose. The
loss Occasioned by a serious fire is
such that very few people can afford
10 be without fire insurance. but at
tention of the prevention of fire
would result in reducing the number
of fires, and, therefore, the rate of pre-
miums necessary to cover the fire
losses. This would be felt quickly in
mutual companies which are owned
and managed by the policyholders
themselves and in which the premiums
are fixed by the actual losses.

IN SMART CLOTHES
Women Given Chance in Ameri-
can-Made Cloth Costume.
MlIady, IL Rushed for Time, and Dress.

out Working Injury to Herself.

The American woman is gwen a
chance to look extremely smart in her
American-made cloth costume. If she

assigned her by the designers. How
ever, observes fashion writer. ii gives
cue sinking feeling, after looking at
q few dozens of remarkably good tail
ored frocks and suits designed here,
that no woman who is rushed for time
and dresses carelessly can adopt these
clothes without working injury 70 her
self.
Those who do not care 20 give sin
gle extra moment to their dressing,
heaved sigh of relief when they real
lied that the straight cloth skirt and
simple jacket would be considered ex-
ceedingly smart for the ten working
hours of the day. But l think the sigh
of relief was premature. The woman
who wants to tumble into a comfort
able skirt and slip on q loose Jacket
with a white shirtwaist, will not have
her wish gratifed this season, If she
expects TO remain in the fashion.
Skirts are not especially comfort
able to the careless women, because
they must be SHINY cut and narrow
at the hem, and they are really in
tended for slim women. Jackets are
not loose, and they cannot be careless

adjusted over a figure that is proper.

1t is said that all the cOrSets and

garment is to be cut after the silh0u

hips, no rough lines at the waist, nc
