1t is thought that Mad Meg had her
christening in the siege of 0udenarde
Another famous gun was mounted at
Edinburgh Castle. That was not very
successful. In the first place ii was so
heavy that its weight nearly wrecked
the bridge that led over the castle moat;
and one of the first discharges from the
gun lodged great piece of shot on the
sides of the barrel and it took forty
eight hours to extract it. When they
finally succeeded in discharging the gun,
the shot went so high over the enemy's
heads that it did no damage Eventually
it was used for firing salutes. until one
day the reeoil sank it so deep into the
earth that it was put out of commission.
The old gun was finally melted up.

to make the gun. 1t required sixty oxen
two months to draw the gun to Byxan-

The gun ended its existence by bursting
and killing its maker.

which was cast in bronze by Munir Air.

WHY NOT BUY A GOAT?
Practical Suggestion with Respect to
the Milk Problem

The Milk Problem.
Children in America arc becoming
anaemie The food that puts color into
the countenanees of children is swee;
milk The high cost Of dairy food. the
scarcity Of labor, and other problems
have caused many farmers to abandon
tier herds, and as 4 consequence the
milk situation III many parts OF the coun-
try has become a serious one Growing
children must have milk, but they can
not always get it, Some can get it. but
the kind they get is OF poor quality, too
poor to put the blush in the check
There is a solution to this serious ~ j.
lena. and 1t lies in the introduction OF the
S@,lss miich goat on small farms and sub.
mi an lois For centuries the Swiss milca
golts have been furnishing food for thou
| sal ds of families in European countries.
but ignorance and prejudice against the
goat III the United States have prevented
| them from generally beng kept in this
country. However. in California they are
gaining ground. and in other states they
ar1 gradually but slowly being introduced.
/ But it the people only knew that the
| goat is one Of our cleanest animals and
| that It's milk is almost tubercular proof
ard richer than COWS milk, and that one
| good milea goat will give enough mill,
| 10 supply one average family. a goat in
each FAM y would soon be tie rule. And
! the goat cats little. for one goat will eat
/ out aboIit q sixth as nrca as a COW and
will give about third as much milk
! | doe gives three quarts q milk be,

| However. some give as much as six quart,
! neI day, but even two quarts Of milk per
das is considered good Winthrop How

MR.. FAMILY MAN.:
Why Spend So Much
Money on Shoes?

Here is what Tracy Munson of
Joplin, Missouri, says of Neolin
Soles: Judging from my own ex-
perience, they wear four times longer
than other soles and hsve the addi-
tional advantage of being waterproof
and slip-proof.
Why continue to wear extravagant
old-fashioned soles when you can get
these money-saving, long-Wearing soles
on new shoes II any style you like
for any member Of the family? Good
shoe stores everywhere carry them.
And don't throw away your old
shoes. Have them re-bottomed with
Ne0lin Soles and enjoy the comfort
of a re-soled shoe which is not stiff
or clumsy. Ne0lin Soles are a dis
covery of Science, and are made by
The Goodyear Tire &, Rubber Co.,
Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot
Heels-guaranteed to outwear all
other heels.

most beautiful. Sometimes the cOlorS
are like those of nature and often
they are entirely different. Besides
the grapes a generous trimmer has al
lowed this rich turban bow of mar
row gold ribbon near the back.
A hat and veil of equal impor-
lance, at the left of the group, is to be
classed among the unusual and pleas
ing things that the autumn shopper is
always running into. Perhaps this
veil was made for the hat. or the
hat was made for the veil; at any
rate the design shows them to be in
separable. This small turban has a
crown of taupe paon velvet and brim
of plain dark brown velvet that sup
ports the veil. Straps of velvet. fas-
tened down with metal ornaments, are
brought down over the veil at the
front, back and sides. Wells and hats
have had their fortunes cast together
on many hat this fall, where each
would fail without the other, but to-
gether they make success.

If, in all the varied styles in mil
linery, there is a single point in COM
mon, it is that fall hats interpret the
season. They are rich. brilliant, gen.
erously trimmed, many of them sup
erb and unusual, and they are refined.
Three ultra-smart examples pictured
in the group above may have been Sc
lected as opponents of the mode, but
three hats selected at random would
probably convey the same ideas. The
hat at the right Of the group is made
of black satin ribbon, bOrdered with
gold. The barette is mounted to a
band of plain satin ribbon, over
laid with two rows of gold-edged rib
bon, and this same ribbon makes the
plated pompon at the left. Worn with
this hat is an oyerblouse of silk wolfe
made to match the hat by the addition
of a collar and wide band of the en-
broidered ribbon. This hat might be
named October.
A pretty velvet turban, with hint
of India in its shape and style, is Of
velvet that makes itself background
for clusters of grapes. These are
made of satin, but then grapes of
many varieties on autumn hats and
metal tissues account for some of the

CATTAILs HAVE FOOD VALUE
investigation Has Shown Them to Con-
tain satisfactory Amount Of
Needed Protein.

Flour from the cattails of the
swamps has been found by the plant
chemical laboratory at Washington to
contain about the same amount of pro-
TEN as rice and corn fiOurs, with some
what less fat than wheat flour, and 1T
was regarded as promising substi-
tute with wheat flour to the extent of
10 to 20 per cent. In the investigation,
Of which he has given an account in
the Scientific Monthly, Prof. p. w.
Claassen tried the flour in several
ways, both as part substitute with
wheat flour in baking and as corn
starch substitute for buildings. Bis
cults containing so and even 100 per
cent of this flour proved to be palat-
able, not very different from those of
wheat flour alone, while the buildings
had an agreeable flavor and were sat
isfactory. The flour material is OBJ
tanned from the large underground
rootstalks Or rhizomes, of which it
forms a starch core three-eighths to
one-half inch in diameter. The dried
rhizomes from an acre of cattails were
shown to equal 1922 pounds and the
core substance, passed through a
meat grinder and sifted, yielded fine
-four at the rate of $500 pounds per
acre. Many thousand acres of cattail
marshes are included in the l39,S55
square miles Of swamp land of the
United States.
