Mike, the Property Man, Is Compelled
to Can'ouAage the Apple Butter, So
the "kids" Won't Eat 1t All Up

The spirit of Seventeen" prevails
backstage at the Booth Theatre as
we'll as before the footlights. Like
recess time when I went to school,"
commented Mike, the property man, as
he camoufaged the jar of apple butter
under the ireman's cap.
"They finished big crock of it,
MISS" explained Mike, ain two days
last week and since then I have to hide
it. Nothing to eat is safe round here.
You know Miss Rose has it in her part
that she gets piece of bread and but
ter and apple sauce and sugar But
they all want it. And war bread
thought it would stop them-but they
getting that"
But how could "recess time" in
Seventeen" be otherwise, when you
consider that the average age Of the
Miss Ross, who plays the part of tattle-
tale Jane; she's only eighteen in real
life, and all she needs is an extra big
tuck in her skirt to make her ready
for her role. Gregory Kelly, the Willie
Baxter, brags of being old enough to
vote, but will admit if cornered that
he's only been permitted to vote once
Miss Gordon, the "baby talk" girl, is
just past eighteen. The stage manager,
Morgan Farley, is all of seventeen;
while the business manager, Harold
Holstein, lords it over the others from
the vantage of his many years of ex-
perience-twenty-six Of them.

subtle search for the apple butter and
the grape juice, "what can you expect
of children?"
1t was difficult to realize that these
youngsters were really going to step
through the wings in a few minutes
and take their places in a Broadway
play. There sat Beatrice Maude,
twanging her Hawaiian guitar-the
latest addition to the collection of
ukuleles and banjos scattered in the
dressing room. Gregory Kelly was
1cisurely finishing the apple he had
started in the first act. Genesis, be-
cause his role doesn't permit him to
take a glass of grape juice punch at
the party in the last act, demanded his
share in advance. because if don't

When Her Courage Failed

Sybil vane, the tiny Welsh prima
donna at the Hippodrome, admits that
there has been at least one occasion
in her short career when her courage
failed her and her voice was mute.
1t was not the night when she went
on the stage for the first time and
essayed the leading role in "Hansel and
Gretel" before a critical London au-
dience at Covent Garden, although she
was still only in her teens and up to
that time had been singing nothing
more pretentious than religious arias
in Welsh churches.
1t was not when she made her debut
in Wagnerian roles, a slender little
girl of twenty, with the London Opera
Company, although Nikisch, the great
and by the very intensity of his reas-
surance emphasized the unnerving
prospect that faced her.
1t was at her last concert on the
other side in her home town of Cardiff
before an audience of 100 men. And
every one CT those men wore the blue
uniform of the soldier invalided home
Many still wore white bandages over
their wounds; some were sightless;
hundreds had lost legs or arms-none
would ever go forth physically fit tc
do service for his country again.

choked right up in my throat" said the
tiny singer; my eyes were blinded
with tears so that couldn't see tn.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 600 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is ~pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

DAIRY
"STARTERs" TO RIPEN CREAM
Technical Work Should Not Be In
dertaken Unless Butter lie Made
II on Commercial Scale.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of A~griculture.)
In creameries it is customary to con-
troll to some extent the ripening of
cream by means of Starters" which
are pure cultures of lactic-acid-produc-
ing bacteria grown in ~pasteurized
milk. The making of starters is tech
nical work that should not be under
taken unless butter is made on a COM
mercial scale. If the milk and cream
are produced under proper conditions,
there is no need for using starters. If
handled under those conditions and
protected from contamination; cream
will develop the desired flavor when
allowed to ripen or sour naturally at
the proper temperatures.
When butter is made on q CONNER
cial scale, 1t may be advisable to con
troll the ripening and thus make a
product that is more uniform from
week to week.
Commercial cultures for starter max
ing may be obtained from culture IA
ufacturers and from dairy supply
houses. Directions for using accom-
pany each package and should be fol-
lowed carefully.
A natural or homemade starter may
be made as follows:
L. Clean thoroughly and boil for five
minutes three pint fruit jars and tops.
After boiling keep the jars covered to
prevent the entrance of bacteria.
2. Take a pint sample of milk
freshly drawn from each of three cows,
place in the jars, cover, cool to 10 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and keep at that
temperature until curdling occurs.
8. Curdling, or coagulation, should
take place in about "a hours. An ideal
curd should be firm, smooth, marble
like, free from holes or gas bubbles,
and should show little or no separa-
ton of the whey. 1t should have a
clean, sharp, soul or acid flavor.
4. Select the sample that most close
ly meets those conditions and propa-
gate it, discarding the others. The
selected sample is propagated as fol-
lows:
(a) Clean thoroughly and boil for
five minutes a quart jar, the top, and
a teaspoon.
ND) Fiji the jar WIFI IreSnly uraWn
milk, cover loosely, heat slowly to boil
ing, and pasteurize by boiling gently
for 80 minutes.
(c) Cool the milk to rs degrees Fab
renheit and add a teaspoonful Of cur
died milk described in section 8 and
set away to curdle at that tempera-
ture.
td) Propagate the starter from day
to day in the same ann described
in a, b and c. The starter de
scribed in C is the one to use fol
ripening the cream, and should be add
ed in such quantities as to be one
tenth to one-fifth Of the cream to be
churned.

Homemade Sterilizer.

ment praising the value of the device
in improving the local milk supply.
Thirty-seven health officers report that
the device is being made locally for
use by dairymen. Several dairy milk
inspectors stated positively that the
local milk supply has been improved
through the introduction of this de-
vice. During the past season the
sterilizer was demonstrated to more
than 5000 farmers and was made the
subject of a campaign In favor of
clean milk utensils that reached thou
sands of dairy farmers. Tw~enty-six
of the state agricultural colleges Sc
cured devices to demonstrate to their
short-course students. The device Is
now being made commercially and can
be purchased complete with oil stove
for $3.50; or the sterilizer portion
alone, which provides apparatus for
sterlllzing pans, pals, separator parts,
small utensils and strainer cloth, a
be purchased for $3.50. Directions for
making the home sterilizer are given
in Farmers Bulletin 74S, which will
be sent free on application to the de-
partment.

Record for Hauling Euos.

The first commercial truck load of
eggs from Vineland and Millville, N.
j., into New York city-about 40
miles-arrived recently with not one
egg broken. Delivery from the ship
per to the wholesaler was made in 10
hours, which is faster time than that
made by express shipments, and es-
tablishes a record for motor haul of
eggs, according to the bureau of mar
kets of the United States department
of agriculture which arranged for the
demonstration. The five-ton truck
carried $50 crates of eggs weighing
nearly four tons. the rest of the load
being made up of Grated glass. 1t
left Vineland at about IL a. M, and
arrived in the wholesale district of
New York city at two o'clock the
next morning.

IInfertiIe Eggs for Market.

The loss in the United States from
improper methods of producing and
handling eggs amounts to millions of
dollars a year. Probably one-third Of
this loss is due to the partial Matching
of fertile eggs which have been al
lowed to become warm enough to in
cubate. This annual loss of good food
can be prevented by separating the
hens from the male birds after the
Matching season is over. The male
bird serves no useful purpose in the
flock during summer, fall and winter
and should be cooked, sold or confined
Immediately after the Matching season
is over.

INCREASED NUMBER OF HOGS
Pork Is Mainstay of Laboring Men and

ment of Agriculture
An increase of at least 10 per cent of
the number of hogs during the year
1918, to provide pork, which with wheat
is classed as a leading war food, is rec
commended in the supplementary food
production program for 1918 just is
sued by the United States department
of agriculture. Pork, the program
points out, constitutes more than one
half of all the meat produced in the
United States and it is the mainstay
of the ration of laboring men and SOL
diers. The need for increasing the sup
ply of fats is particularly acute. Ami
NAL fats can be increased more quickly
by increasing the number of hogs Than
in any other manner. An increase of
from 5 to so per cent in hog production
in IS states is indicated as especially
desirable. The following measures are
recommended for increasing pork pro-
duction.
The increase in the number of hogs
in the Northwestern states should be
large. In the New England states,
where only about two hogs are kept
per farm, the increase also should be
great.
Pork production will be increased
economically by breeding for two lit
tiers a year, by saving through better
are a larger number of the pigs far
rowed; by growing pasture and forage
crops; by using wastes, especially
town and city garbage; by proper pa
tons of concentrated feeds by the use
of self-feeders; by p%asturing alfalfa
and other legumes and other forage
crops; by hogging down grain sOr-
ghums and corn; by finishing hogs to
heavier weights up to about 275
pounds, and by preventive measures
which will keep hogs free from cholera,
tuberculosis, other diseases, and para
sites.

BALANCED RATIONS IN NEED
High-Priced Grain Makes 1t Necessary
for Farmers to Grow More
Roughage Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
With the present high price of grains
1t is hardly necessary to call attention
to the need for growing more nearly
balanced roughage rations, by planting
Canada peas in oats and soy beans in
corr for sllage, or by planting the
crops separately for hay or seed. If
soy beans are planted for hay, the
fine-stemmed varieties are preferable.
At present it is profitable TO grow the
crops for seed, and even IL the price
of seed should go down, they will pay
as a substitute for cottonseed meal in
the ration for dairy cattle, as the pro-
tein contents of these crops is even
higher than that of cotton seed. If soy
beans are used for feed they should be
mixed before grinding with some less
oily grain, as corn or oats, or with
hominy or bran.

UNITED STATES AND SCIENCE
on This Country and Interest
Expected to Continue.

every few people realize that the
scientific activities of the world are
centering In the United States. and
that they will doubtless continue to
do so If material means be given to
keep up the work." said Father Charles
B. Moulinier, regent of the Marquette
university school of medicine, in n re
cent interview in the Marquette Trib-
une.
South America, for instance, is now
looking to us for scientific leadership.
China and Japan are once more turn
Ing to us. Great attention Is being
paid to medicine in South America,
BuenOs Aires alone having n medical
school with 5000 students.
"The Wistar institute of anatomy, in
Philadelphia, is one of the most de-
| cisive factors in turning the attention
of the scientific world to the United
| States. This institute has an endow-
ment which makes it possible to give
large service to mankind. Just now IL
is printing copious translated extracts
from the medical journals published
and sending them to China and Japan,
Duplicates of the journals are also
sent to South America.
"A great deal of research work is
being lone by this school in the direc>
ton of discovering dyes. Certain
chemical dyes, formerly produced only
by Gruebler of Germany, are required
in technical work. Wistar is now pro-
Guclng dyes the equal of Gruebler's.
at may be Interesting to know that
much of this research work has been
lone by n young Philadelphia who
delved into chemistry for his W
pleasure and experimental in his pri-
vate laboratory. Wistar hearing OF
some remarkable discoveries made by
him Immediately called him to the in.
s%titute, placing its facilities at his dis
posal for this important work.

Because of the economic loss &C.
