NO PLACE LIKE HOME

The best Of US are like animals
we rush into holes for shelter. Home
is such against the hardness of the
world
Margery Bell, the Cleveland girl
who ran away, said on her return
home: You'll never know how muck
you want and need your mother, or
your brother, or your father, until
you're away from them.'
All, how strong, how unerring,
are the fundamental instincts of hu-
man nature; we can never outlive
them. The joyous child allured by
the bright flowers, the butterflies,
the rainbow, may forget and wander
far. But when the feet are bruised
and the limbs weary and the heart
sore, and it seems naught bat
strangeness, it cries for home.
Men and women have a little
stronger limbs and little stronger
hearts; they can chase the butter
flies and the rainbows a little far
Their, and then they too, must ike
the little child see the mocking
folly of it all and, weary, heart
sick, cry for refuge-home.
For many of US the old home may
no longer exist except in memory
but if in the memory it is enshrined,
then, whatever the disappointments
the receptions, the despairs Of life,
we still may turn new hope, new
courage, and new Inspirations, as
did this poor girl, back to the old
home, where love glows against the
worlds coldness.
Misfortune has its recompense
when it turns us back to set our lips
once more to the spring of love and
that is pure and undeiled.
Amid joys and successes our sur
roundings seem not so near to us:
they are remote in their unreality:
their glitter and abundance. AMI
when sorrow CONS it finds us sick
with !, loneliness, it is then that in
the lowly home Of childhood every
table and chair and picture seems
to take tongue and call and call,
and call to US. And the call comes
thru the distance and thru the
years like strains of deep-love4
and never to-be forgotten music,
filled with multitudes of sweet as
sociations that make the heart beat
quick.

OFF TO FRANCE
(E. d. Koontz)

(E. ~. h0ontz)
Woodrow takes a gamblers chance,
Packs his grip andstar to France;
With his bunch of Yankee heads :.
Things will tremble where hetreads.
He will name the terms of peace,
Heal the wounds with Yankee grease,
He will write lengthy note
That will get the Kaiser's goat.
Woody, you're of Yankee stuff
You can call the German bluff.
Woodrow took his golf-stick, too
Same as Teddy used to do
What you lack in Congressman
You can get with ink and pen
Paris may not like your style,
London, too, may even smile;
But you know the goods that's real,
And you'll watch the hands they deal.
With all your diplomatic stuff
Play your hand and call the bluff

help feed our boys at the front. In

much commentator at the home
products exhibit recently held in
Houston, according to field report
to the States Relations Service of
the United States Department of
Agriculture. The prizes were a.
warded for quality production, but
even had they been given for guam
tity they would have been merited.
For instance, here's the output of
one girl from Fairbanks, the entire
product raised on her half acre war
plot: 1000 cans of tomatoes, $50
cans of beans, go cans of English
peas, rs cans of tomatoes and okra,
and so cans of sweet potatoes
l, 418 cans in all. At this exhibit
which is reported to have surpassed
those of previous years, the girls
club had unusually fined displays of
canned, dried, and preserved vege-
tables and fruit.

100000 hat sweats of which the basis is cotton were made in 1917.
 After the war is ended pyroxy1in, Of which the basis is cotton fibre, will be largely employed to meet many indus trial needs in the United States. MT. Broughton says that if we are to estimate correctly the value to humanity of cotton in the varied and many forms to which it is now being adapted, there would be entailed a wide survey of both war and peace industries.
 Whatever may be the amount Of cotton harvested this year, one of the best esti- mates being about 14,00OO0O bales, the demand for it and for it's by-products will compare favorably even with the demand for food products. The cotton harvest of the south should bring, in- cluring by-products, considerably more than $1 1000, 100000 of new wealth to the American people this year. But perhaps the most significant feature associated with our cotton harvest is the fact that within few years, and especially since the war began, so many and so varied commodities are manufactured with cot ton fibre as a basis. This manufacture represents the results of research and of discovery and the perfecting of for mulas worked out by American chem ists, and this constitutes one of the great services rendered by American chemists at this time.

PROTECTIVE FOODS

With plenty of dairy products to draw
 from our diet can be made practically
 perfect from nutrition viewpoint. These vital foods may be alternated with or added to the leafy vegetable courses in any given meal
 Prof. E. V. McCollum, the great nu- triton expert places the group of dairy foods, milk, butter and egg yolk first among protective foods
 We must all help in this "save the herd movement by using plenty of milk, fresh and evaporated, and plenty Of the very best butter when our kitchen pocketbook affords it.
 There are great quantities of animal fats, however. that come through the ordinary channel of supplying beef to the army and the limited supply for those who "only stand and wait"
 The beef fats are pressed and give us oleo oil which is the basic of high grade oleomargarine Those who for economy reasons use oleomargarine. which IS much preferable to cheap. un- standardized butter, will be glad to hhoW that experiments have proved this oieo oii 10 belong in the group of protec-. uve foods. The deduction of the expert IS that because the steers feed so hear tly on leafy foods the beef fat is rich m the growth element
 It IS not generally. known by all house. wives that milk is one of the cheapest foods We can ht- even at an increased cost. recent bulletin prepared by Flora Rose and Lucille Brewer states that the animal food which takes the least grain to produce a given amount of nourishment is milk
 In using milk, therefore, we are saw ing grain and buying for ourselves the cheapest form of animal food
 We are saving food for our soldiers ana money for ourselves when we use milk, cheese, cream and butter.
 The problems of milk distribution for congested communities distance from the dairy country are still being worked on Evaporated milk has solved the problem of keeping milk wholesome for an indefinite period. Evapprated milk still retains all the food value of fresh milk from the butter fats and mineral salts to the protective elements.
 For infant feeding, especially, evapo- rated is preferable to condensed milk

women accept the desire OF the Ameri-
can designers to launch an ankle
length skirt.
Those who have been criticised for
exploiting this design at a time when
the conservation OF wool is necessary
insist that they can cut such a skirt
out OF less material than the short,
fiaring type which has been the fash
ion. An extremely narrow, short skirt
has proved to be an impossibility be-
cause of the manner In which 1t rides
above the knees when one is seated.
There is an immense amount OF vel
veteen, soft veiours, velvet and heavy
satin. One does not have to use wool
n order to have a warm or fashion
able gown or suit. Velveteen has been
accepted as fabric for the comIponest

Of Prelnet, on the Place Vendome, as
an example, Mile. Bertha sent an enor-
nous explosive at the moment that the
mannequins were parading in the new
gowns before handful OF American
buyers. Glass smashed around the
place, buildings shook, ambulances rat
tied, but no one moved, and the young
mannequins did not even swerve from
that accentuated French walk which is
part and parcel of their trade,
1t was under these conditions that
women's apparel for autumn and win

thinks It has n more difficult time in

That women appreciate the struggle
Is shown by the tremendous business
done in clothes since the first day OF

their orders upon a limited number OF
workers.
