MRS. BROWN ISSUES
AN ULTIMATUM TO
HER MEN FOLK
Government Tells How the
Edict May be Met

Recently Mrs. Brown issued an
ultimatum which vitally affected
the male members Of her farm
family. She supported the theory
that cleanliness and godliness are
twin attributes. She maintained
that this cleanliness should extend
to boots and shoes which come di-
rectly from the stable to the kit
chen. In a word, Mrs. Brown, in
common with thousands of other
farm housewives, wants her men
folks to brush or clean their foot
wear when they come into the
house at mealtime or at night.
The Browns, father and sons,
prefer to wear boots and heavy
shoes during inclement weather,
using rubber boots only on actually
rainy days. They do not like rub
bers because they come off easily
in the mud, and also do not stand
up well under rough farm usage.
Overshoes suit them during the
very cold season, but as a rule nine
months in the year they wear
boots. They formerly tried to
brush the boots off every time they
entered the house, but often the
broom supposed to be kept on the
porch would get mislaid with dis
astrous results to Mrs. Browns
: clean floors.
The attention of the Browns and
several million other farm families
interested in clean footwear is call

The automobile may. have won at
Verdun, says the billets and remounts
division, but the horse has won more
victories than he has hairs on his top
