One would scarcely associate great
strength with so delicate and fragile
thing as maiden hair fern, yet if It's
roots have not sufficient room they will
break the pot in which the plant
grows. Blades of grass will force the
curbstones between which they spring

are on record as having broken hard

northwest of Madagascar, is becoming
smaller through the action of the
mangroves that grow along the foot

WAR BOARD CHANGED STYLES
Saving That Has Been Effected IN
Woman's Dress and Shoes
Is of Moment.

whether women realize it or not,
there has been a saving OF steel
through making corsets on simpler
lines. There was shameful waste OF
material in shoes, but the war indus
tries board stopped that by restricting
the height, the number Of styles, tho
variety of colors, ETC." In Worlds
Work Theodore Price tells how these
and other savings were brought about
"by diplomacy" He says: "Womens
wear presented a delicate problem.
Paris sets the styles for the ladies'.
Certainly gentlemen In Washington
were not to be consulted. But the war
lndultries board made a few inquiries
by cablegram-the French minister Of
commerce and industry asked the ar.
biters Of fashion over there few
questions at least. 1t Is presumed
that he did-and the French designers
suddenly awakened to fine apprecia.
ton of the beauty of simplicity Of
style. The board did not dictate to
American designers; it merely ac-
euainted them with the situation. A
saving Of 25 per cent in the wool used
In women's clothes was secured.
Another interesting saving, says
Worlds Work, was in the number Of
kinds of articles. For example, there
were GOO sizes and kinds of metal
beds, which the board reduced to 30
and lightened 35 pounds per bed; 2ST
varieties Of auto tires were reduced
to nine. In the vacuum cleaner busi-
ness alone the war industries board
found way to conserve 10000 feet
Of fabric hose.

Meat Balls.

Trim all the fat and skin from q
pound of round steak, put over the
fire and add quart Of cold water, an
onion, a stalk of celery, a tablespoon
full of parsley and teaspOonful Of
salt. Cook one hour. Soak a slice Of
bread in water and squeeze dry, then
mix the steak, which has been finely
minced, with a beaten egg, two table
spoonfuls of sweet fat, one teaspoon
full of salt and dash of pepper. Make
into balls as large as an egg. and boil
ten minutes in the broth. Brown ia
blespoonful of flour in the same
amount of fat; add the broth, stirring
until thick. Pour the gravy over the
meat balls and serve.
When a few frankfurts must serve
a larger number than expected, slice
them thin and fry in a little fat, in
stead of boiling them. Serve with
fried potatoes.

MEAT COOL AND FRESH

The proper time to begin cur
ing pork Is when the meat Is
cooled and is still fresh. Twen-
ty-four to SO hours after killing
is the opportune time. 1t Is es-
sential that the pork be thor
oughly cooled. Meat should
never be frozen either prior to
or during the period Of curing.
A clean hardwood molasses or
strip barrel is suitable vessel
in which to cure pork. The bar
rel should be clean and tight SO
as to prevent leakage. A large
stone or metal jar is the best
container in which to cure meat,
but the initial cost is high. Stone
or some metal containers are
very easily kept clean. If a bar
rel is used repeatedly for cur
ing pork it is necessary to scald
it out thoroughly before fresh
pork is packed into it.

All the ingredients should be mixed

with the mixture. Pack the meat in

six weeks; string and hang in the
smokehouse. The bacon and smaller
pieces Of meat, after they are cured,
should be eaten first. The hams are
better after they have aged.
Dry-cured Pork.
Dry-cured pork requires more work
than brine-cured, though 1t Is some.
times less expensive. Danger from
rats and other vermin is less In the
case Of brine-cured pork. Both methods
of curing are very successful II care
Is taken to see that each operation is
executed correctly. Following is the
method Of dry curing:
For each 100 pounds Of meat use

then rub one-third Of the quantity of
this mixture over the meat and pack

meat and again pack the meat. Break
bulk the seventh day and rub the re-

and pack the meat to cure. Allow one
day and a half cure for each pound

meat has cured, wash each piece with |

Another dry cure Is as follows:
For each 100 pounds Of meat use

mixed together thoroughly. Rub each
piece Of meat thoroughly with this

the cure more uniform and to prevent
souring. Allow the meat to cure five

turbing rulers
The kaisers, sultans and their foolish
kind
Will be en- route to sundry jails and
coolers,
And Bill and Abdul, from their
crowns and thrones,
And all their worldly goods for
ever parted,
Are sitting round emitting bitter
means
And tearfully repenting what they
started.
They look at things tonight,
These rulers do, in quite different
light.
They fancied once that royal blood
and birth
Backed up with armies, carefully
directed,
Gave them the right to conquer all
the earth,
Removing all the people who OBJ
jected.
They thought that war, and killing
and the like
Would prove a nice, amusing rec
reation.
And-later-when they cantered
down the pike
We all would bow in humble adora-
ton.
1t didn't take them long
However, to find out that they were
wrong.
There's still Lenine-he still is dream
ing dreams,
he still is hoping hard for world
dominion.
To be the boss of all creation seems
An easy thing to be, in his opinion.
And thought he knows how other
rulers hopes
Within the last few bloody years
have faded,
He fondly fancies that he knows the
ropes,
And will not make the same mis-
take that they did.
But he'll soon have his turn
TO learn the lesson that they all must
learn!
