Winter styles in coats must soon
make their exit in order to give the
center of the stage to evening wraps
and to coats for spring. But they are
not going to slip away unhonored and
unsung: they will pass out amid
hearty applause The last efforts of
designers are as interesting and note
worthy as those that ushered in the
season, and just as our minds were
made up to expect nothing new along
came such examples of fine artistry as
appears in the two coats pictured
above. They are unsurpassed for
beauty and smart style.
The victory of the allies and the end
of the war was the signal for the re-
vival of evening wraps. They will
come in for much consideration. and
already splendid garments reflect the
mood of the public, which has denied
itself the luxurious wraps of pre-war
times. Following these, the first show
ing in coats for spring will compel
the attention of everyone. In the
meantime whoever is not already out
fitted in coat may take advantage
of the impressive last models for win
ter.

Conservation of Fuel May
Be Made BY Using Furnace
Fire to Cook Some Dishes

An easy way to conserve fuel In
cooking is by utilizing the furnace
fire. Dishes that can be cooked in a
casserole are becoming more and more
popular and the furnace offers an
economical way of preparing them.
Every furnace has, just within the
coaling door, a wide ledge capable of
holding a good-sized vessel. This
ledge is an excellent place for cook
ing dishes which require slow baking
or a sort of stewing. Beans as pre-
pared in New England are deliciously
cooked on this ledge. For them an
earthen pot is even better than cas-
serole. 1t should be large enough to
contain an extra amount of water, for
the evaporation is more rapid in SO
highly-heated a place than in stove
or range oven.
A bean-pot, an earthenware vessel
with handle making it look almost
like a mug, is the best kind OF uten-
sill as it has something by which 1t
can be moved.
The shape and size of the bean-pot
leaves space on the ledge for some
Gtsier ressel. Puddings and escallopeu
dishes can be well-cooked and soup
can be made to simmer if the fire IS
at low temperature. Casserole COOK,
cry also adapts itself to furnace prep
aration especially in the unglazed Tor
eign casseroles. The glazed articles
may crack in time under such neat al

J. S. Government Takes Up
the Production of Potash


The problem of increasing the pot
ash production in the United States
so that the American farmer may be
permanently freed from the grip of
Germany's monopoly on the worlds
supply of fertilizer materials" was
turned over to- the interior depart
ment by the industries board. Presi-
dent Wilson directed that the interior
department takes over this work from
the chemicals division of the board
as a part of the program of definitely
continuing necessary work started by
agencies created during the war. A
statement issued by the board said
that before the war this country inn
ported 100000 tons Of pure potash
from Germany and that when this sup
ply was cut off at the beginning
of hostiIities, American industries
undertook to meet the situation. Last
year some $4,000 tons of potash were
produced in the United States, and
this year 10000 tons will be produced,
but this is far short of the country's
needs.

History of Americas Part
in War Kept in Diary Form

= The history of the operations of the
American army in France will be writ
ten with detail never possible in any
previous war. Provision for obtaining
the most intimate information of the
action of each unit of the army was
made by the war department in order
ing "war diaries" to be kept by desig-
mated officers of each unit. The in
formation thus obtained, General
March, chief Of staff, said would fur
nish day-to-day and hour-by-hour his
tory of the war so far as the American
expeditionary forces are concerned.

eral March said, twill be so complete
that it will be impossible for anybody
to add to it. 1t will be day-by-day
and hour-by-hour record of all actions

Anthracite Coal in Use
About One Hundred Years

1t is only little more than hun

Journal, since anthracite coal has been

was called, would burn; but his argu-

gases, low forms of animal life, min
ute plant growths often productive of
bright-colored, fibrous masses and
scums, and especially when water is
of peaty or swampy origin, impregna-
ton with iron. In short, Investigations
indicate that only small minority of
farm water supplies can be classed as
unqualifiedly safe and desirable.
Diseases From Poor Water.
Among the ailments caused or in
fluenced by contaminated water are
typhoid fever, tuberculosis, hookworm
disease, cholera, dysentery and diar-
rhea, and certain obscure maladieS
that may be traced eventually to the
poisonous effects of drainage from hui
man wastes. Figure 2 shows in
striking manner how increased use of
pure water in Massachusetts has been
followed by decline in the typhoid
fever death rate. Frequently home
or village supplied with water from
mountain spring or canyon is a center
of goiter, although the possible rela"
tionship of such water to this disease
has not been proved conclusively.
Among ailments of live stock, hog
cholera, anthrax, and foot-and-mouth
disease are spread by moving water.
Hence sick animals should not have
access to streams, and dead animals
should not be left exposed in fields or
buried where drainage may carry in
lection to streams and water supplies.
Ones duty to himself and neighbors
should obligate him to confine all sick
animals and burn the carcasses OF
dead ones or bury them deeply in
spots remote from streams, wells and
springs, and urge his neighbor to do
the same.
The vital things to remember are
that ground water is not stagnant but
m9yes usually, though not always,
with the "lay' or slope of the land;
that it's character determines largely
the character Of wells and springs;
that it is not an inexhaustible reser-
voir, but that given well yields only
as it receives; and that continued
pumping will not improve the water In
a well if the sources from which 1T is
fed are permanently at fault. In
short, ground water is natural drain
age variously modified in it's move
ment and character by subterranean
conditions.
Safe Location of Wells.
Wells cannot be located in all cases
so that there may not be some pollu-
ton, but the great safeguards are
clean ground and as wide separation
as possible from the probable chan
nels Of any impure drainage. 1t is not
enough that well or spring is 80,
100, or $50 feet from source of filth
or that it is merely upon higher
ground, although even moderate re-
moteness and elevation of the source
of supply are Of service. Given porous
or gravelly ground, seamy ledge, or
long-continued pollution of one plot OF
land, the zone of contamination is like
ly to extend long distances, particu-
larly in downhill directions and at
such times as water supplies are low
cred by drought or heavy pumping.
Only when the surface of the water in
a well or spring is actually at high
er leved at all times than any nearby
source of filth is there positive assur-
ance of safety.
Upon any farm a wood lot, grove,
or windbreak is highly desirable, not
only to supply fuel and small timber,
but for its beauty and the protection
it affords.

cold, hunger and thirst, foul air and
dampness, and diseases and parasites.
A. Keep standardized utility stock.
There are five good breeds for the
farm: Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island
Red, Leghorn, Wyandotte and Orping-
ton. Varieties of these have been bred
for heavy egg production. There are
other good breeds for those who pre-
fer them.
5. Breed from the best, both male
and female. There are many signs of
vigor and high production.
6. Sell Improbable stock.
Z. Market graded products. Maxi
mum returns are secured from graded
products. Markets demand constant
supply, and this calls for community
cooperation.
These seven steps will lead to sue
cess.

progress can be made without this first
step. The average monthly and yearly
egg production, cost Of feed and in

a constant aim.

Meals for the Family.

1t is a wise plan to have dozen or
more ways of using stale bread crumbs
where they may be easily referred TO-
in order to avoid repeating the same
dish until it becomes tiresome.
Any crusts or small bits of bread IL
placed in the warming oven to dry
may then be put through the meat
grinder and are ready for countless
dishes.

WATER CHARACTERISTICS

Water for domestic use should
be clear, lustrous, odorless,
colorless, wholesome, soft, neith-
er strongly acid nor alkaline,
and it's temperature for general
farm purposes should be ABOUT
so degrees f. These character
istics, however, must never be
deemed proof of purity, for a
glass of water may possess them
all and yet contain millions of
disease-producing germs. Any
suspicious water should be re-
jected until both the water and
the surroundings where it is OBJ
tanned are passed upon by COM
petent sanitation authority, gen.
orally the state board of health.
