USE MORE MILK IN
 SUMMER

The United States Food Admins tration has asked the assistance of the woman's committee, Council of National Defense, in the campaign for the increased use of milk.
 Milk is g food for which there is no substitute" says Miss Tarbell in a message to the State chairman of the Food Administration depart ment of the woman's committee, of which she is head. Tt is of special value in the sick room and for the proper nourishment of small children it is indispensable. Owing to the rapid rise in the cost of food and labor last winter milk rose several cents a quart and consequently many poorer families gave up its use for their children. No saving of foodstuff that damages the health of a nation is real conservation. In Germany, in spite cf the milk short age, the milk ration for the children and the hospitals has been maintain- ed at all hazards. In 'safety-first' health campaign, it must be remem-, bered that it should be children first

sufficient. Place the jars so they do not touch each other and have the water cover the tops of the jars one inch at least. The time Of cooking should be counted from the minute the water BEGINS TO BOIL and CONTINUES TO BOIL. This method has 8 great advantage over the others in that the fruit and veg etables may be packed away from the heat of the stove. Explicit di- rectons for proceedings by the cold pack method may be found just now In almost any of the house or woman's magazines with time tables for the cold pack method.

HOW TO BALANCE THE SUM
 MFR DIET

In giving advice about the fam fly purse and it's relation to chil- dren's food, Mrs. Max West, of the Children's Bureau, United States Department of Labor, says:
 Tt is a good plan to divide the money that may De spent for food in some such way az the following;
 "(a) Spend from one-quarter to one-third of the total food money for bread, cereals, macaroni, and rice.
 ."(b) Buy at least from one-third to one-half a quart of milk a day for each member of the family.
 "(c) Spend as much for fruit and vegetables together as for milk.
 "(d) Spend not more for meat and eggs together than for veg etables and fruit. The amount spen for meat may be decreased as the amount spent for milk increases.
 Ut has been, found that many families spend an entirely undue amount of their food allowance for meat, which is the most expenisve article of food on the market. Els pecially in summer the proportion of meat in the diet of young children may be reduced by using milk and milk products, eggs and vegetables in its place. Fish and chicken are excellent food for children"

RECONSTRUCTION ON \ HUGE
 SCALE
SCALE

Novelists and social reformers in Great Britain before the war agreed ln declaring the British people and their Parliament bankrupt of pro gressive ideas and Of the will to dis cover them.
 The nation was flabby and inert in all branches of its activities, was the cry.
 Since then the people Of Great Britain have carried on history's most astonishing conflict, have been the mainstay of a world coali- ton. and, by land and Sea and air, have proven their old-time valor and aLility to endure hardness.
 All this is now everywhere ad- mitted. But what is not so general ly understood is that the same peo- pie who have done such wonders in war have done no smaller wonders in the progressive forms of peace.
 An English newspaper has sum marized the Reconstruction Plans" of the British government-and Par Iiament-plans that are devised to meet the new conditions arising flom the war.
 No fewer than ST committees, pri- vate and governmental, have been dealing with these plans. Upon these committees are the best brains in the country. They embrace legis- lative and legal reforms, educational reforms, the conduct of scientific and industrial research, the ultiliza- ton of water-pOwers so as to econ omize coal, the demoDiliZation of the army and navy, the reform of the House of Lords, the democratization of the franchise, reform of the For eign Office, control of raw materials within the Empire, trade develop ment, collection of commercial in telligenCe, reform e labor exchange, formation of industrial councils for the regulation of all industries, ex- pansion of the mercantile marine, improvement of agricultural and re afforestation, enlargement of hous- ing facilities for the poor classes, reform of the poor laws and a host Ot other matters.
 A lrogram of this kind before the war would have thrown 8 BritisI Cabinet into a state of paralyzed as tonishmenU. Those were the days when Wait and Soc" was principle impious to question. But the war has cnanged everything. Britain to- day is effecting more genuine so- cial, commercial, economic and gov ernmental reform than ever before in her history.

At first thought, it seems to many of us that the berries around here are scarcely worth bothering a bout.

STOPPED BASEBALL GAME
 TO SALUTE. FRENCH HYBfN

National war work council, Y. M. c. A.. authorized the following:
 The negro stevedores were play ing baseball-playing it tooth and nail, without a thought for any thing else in the world. They hadn't been so wrapped up in anything since they landed in France.
 Suddenly, on the fringe of the thick, noisy, black line of rooters across the outfield, men began to turn their backs on the game, stiff ly standing at attention. Over their heads, from the direction of the band, came faint but thrilling music to which they automatically Titted words:
 TO arms, ye brave, to arms!
 Wen form battalions strong,
 March on -"
 "Attention!" shouted the big col ored soldier who, bu' a moment be- fore, had been rattling the pitcher. More men, and down the rooters line yet more men, were straighten- ing, stiffly erect. The runner, 10 feet off second, spun half 8 turn on his heel. T he pitcher dropped his ball and the batter his stick. Even the lump" was called to sill ence. Away back, the Y. M. c. A. man saw a lazy catcher stand, el- bow crooked, and with his black hand to the forehead of his wire mask.

Chicago, ILL.,, February 17-Heads
were cracked and bruised and wild
disorder prevailed this afternoon
when police, answering riot calls
with drawn revolvers and batons
charged mobs of Chicago Bolsheviki
who, by the power of fist and lung
took possession of a meeting in honor
of Prof. George Lomonossoff, Presi-
dent of the Russian Mission on Ways
of Communication, at Douglas Park
auditorium.
The ringleaders finally were routed
and brought under subsection, but not
until Judge Harry Fisher was chased
from the speakers platform and
forced to escape through side en-
trance by Infatuated men and women,
who screamed "LIong live the Bolshe-
Wiki"
The trouble began when the hall,
with capacity of 1,400, was filled to
overlooking and crowd of approx
mately 1000 men and women, mostly
Of Russian extraction, pounded upon
the locked doors for admittance. With
the arr ival of police the crowd quickly
was brought under control.

{ animals that are being developed on
| a scale never before attempted in
the state since the days before the
Civil War.
In 1910, a silo was rare sight in
the cotton or sugar belt, today, on
Avoca Island, giant silos have been
erected in large numbers for conserv-
ing the prodigious supplies of forage
crops that may be utilized at any sea-
son of the year for fattening animals
without the loss of any of the feed
values contained in the crops in their
green state.
Under the long period of warm
weather, abundant showers and fer
tile soil, larger crops of feed stuffs
can be raised in this part of Louisiana
than any other section of the world,
as the fertility surpasses that of the
Valley of the Nile, combined with all
the natural advantages that are non
existent elsewhere
However, while the animal herds
do not require any housing in the
winter months, the management of
this great property has erected nu-
merous feeding sheds some 500 feet
In length and of great breadth, which
are joined to the giant silos with me-
chanical apparatus, which by means
of belt system convey the feed in
the storage silos down through long
line of troughs, where the animals
