hiding place and liquor has become a
curiosity. Military inspectors are
forcing the cleanup Of theaters. ho-

the proprietor: DO this or DO that

The following points, IL followed, will
help TO extend the length of wear OF
dresses and other garments:
Sponging with hot vinegar will make
the 'shiny part' of any garment less
noticeable.
Steaming q velvet hat which has lost
lite freshness over the teakettle will
greatly improve its appearance.
Fresh collar aud cuffs Of white or con.
trssting color will give suit or dress q
new appearance.
When not in use hang outside gar
ments, we'll brushed, on suitable hangers
away from dust.
Cotton covers put over the garments
on hangers will preserve the freshness Of
waists, dresses, and coats worn only
occasionally.
Wear practicable wash aprons while at
work.
Have play clothes for the children.
| Garments will wear longer II parts
that have hardest wear are reinforced
while new.
While shoes are not in use keep shoe
trees In them to preserve their shape, or
stuff with tissue paper.
Have heels built up as soon Is they
wear of, otherwise the entire shoe soon
gets out Of shape.
A piece Of velvet pasted inside heels Of

Secure buttons, fastenings, etc., on

DOGS AND HENS ARE WISER
Physician Arraigns the Modern Prac-

Patients.

New Orleans, La.-"When dog

hind legs. What does he do it for?
SO that he can breathe the warm air.
When chicken gets sick, the first
thing 1t does Is to tuck its head under
it's wing-so that it can breathe the

the cold-air treatment for the flu
have less sense than either dogs or

Such is the opinion rendered by DR..

of Surgeons Of the Southern Railway.
He said it before the hundreds of sur
geons who attended the twenty-third

ENGLAND MUST IN
CREASE WHEAT YIELDS

According to the editor of the Unit
ed States Experiment Station Record,
director Russell of the Rothamstead
(Englund) experiment station says
that "the English farmers task in the
future will be to increase his yield"
But he further. states: 1--WE must
strengthen the straw, improve the
tillering, regulate to some extent the
development of grain and control the
pests. Until these are all solved we
cannot hope to get much further with
increased wheat yields"
The interesting part of this is that
so good an auth ,r;ty sees the necessity
of still further increasing the English
yields of wheat per acre. In this cOun-
try, although we produce less than one
half the English yields per acre, some
of our would-be agricultural econo-
mists tell us that we have solved our
production problems, have even al
ready given too much attention to
production. So long as American
farmers produce only about IA bushels
of wheat per acre while England pro-
duces for an average of ten years 1913
bushels of wheat per acre, it Is ridicu-
lOus to suppose that, while in competi-
ton with English farmers, we have no
further production problems calling
for solution. The great American ag-
ricultural problem is greater soil fer
tility and greater yields per acre.

farmers try to supply this plantfood

CARRY SILVER SAFELY
Trains Cross Continent Without
Loss of an Ounce.
Mint Director Revealed How Wartime
Shipments to India Were
Handled.

Observation-Disclosures that the govern.
ment has completed its wartime ship
ments to India of silver from melted
dollars, Director of the Mint Baker
has disclosed how thousands of tons
of the metal were hauled from the
Philadelphia mint tn San Francisco in
special trains, guarded by armed men,
without loss of an ounce and without
general knowledge of the procedure,
Eighteen of these treasure trains
made the trip across the continent in
the IL months ending last April 90
with the silver like big bricks piled
high In each of the five express cars
composing special train.
Two men with automatic pistols at
their hips and sawed-Off shotguns on
their laps sat in each Car, and later
guarded the secret transfer of the
white bars from train to ship at San
Francisco.
Each silver brick weighed about 62
pounds and was worth 81 900, and each
train carried between $5,OO0,000 and
$1O,OOO,000 of the bricks. Wreckng
Of the trains and theft of the metal
by bandits was considered an ever
present menace to be guarded against.
Guarded shipments of silver dollars
also were made from the United States
treasury in Washington and from
the New Orleans subtreasury in Phila-
delphia. These dollars travelled in
stout bags of 1000 each and were
handled much like bags of sugar. ex-
cept that armed men always were
near.
More than 265,OOO,OOO silver. dollars
were melted and shipped to India dur
ing the year, to meet urgent war de-
mands for coinage.
