sight have been largely responsible FOR
the phenomenal development OF the Tn
ion Pacific railroad. and his years OF
service have gicen him great opportu-
nifty to study the transportation needs
Of practically every section.
Gradually railway men begin to rral-
izc that the water ways must supple
ment the railways as carriers and r"-
lteve them OF very great part OF the
burden Of heavy freight That is exact
ly what is proposed by the Lake Eric
and Ohio River canal. In the narrow
strip ot land between Wheeling on the
south and Cleveland on the north W"
have the most congestcd freight area
OF the United States. All the east and
west transportation Of one hundred mil
lion people passes through this small
neck. Additional 70 It is the trcmen-
dous north and south traffic between the
upper Ohio Valley and the lakes. This
TRAFFIC has practically doubled after ten
wears. Tho las, year Of which We have
any record. namely 1915. amounted to
over eco 00o. 600 tons and, in all proha-
hility. in 1918, 1t amounted to close 20
SOC, Ooo. 900 tons There is little Won
der. under these conditions. that the
: freight yards Of Pittsburgh. OF Buffalo,
LOT Toledo. of Cleveland and of Wheel
ling have been congested beyond all rca-
son: and from year to year this condi-
ton Ia going to become worse as the
industries multiply.
There is no limit TO the growth OF
industries in tho Ohio Valley except
the limitations Of tho railroads in
handling our products These railroads
cannot increase their capacity very rap
idly. New railroads can not BE- built
because new rights of way can not be
secured. In the rivers which form the
principal part Of the route Of the pro
posed Lake Erie and Ohio River canal
there are already well-dcfned rights OF
way belonging 70 the public. There Is
already a right Of way which can be
secured without the investment Of q
dollar. 1t is only for the public To de
eide TO use for it's own good that which
belongs to 1t.

Care That Birds Are Not In.
lured by Material.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Although it is good management to
allow poultry to rustic about In grain
fields and stock yards after the grain
crop has been stacked or thrashed, it
is essential to exercise particular care
that the fowl are not injured by feed
ing on damaged grain. Specialists of
the United States department Of agri-
culture assert that where damaged
grain is fed in limited amounts to the
flock which is on free range, the posi-
bility Of serious injury is reduced to a
minimum. On the other hand, they
state that it is advisable not to feed
the damaged grain-and never to use
this material if it is moldy or musty
in anything but very small amounts
where the fowl are closely confined
all the time. There is an inexplain-
able something about the range which
the birds have as well as the waste
products which they utilize that ap-
parently keeps them healthy, so that

Life is made up Of number of
pleasant things, includlrg pretty hats,
for little misses like those who look
out at us from the picture above. No
one with existence overshadOwed by
an unsatisfactory hat, could look so
gay and carefree as this trio. Per-
haps it is because this millinery, with
hobbing tassel, pert bow, or flying
ends, is less plain than the majority of
hats made for girls. 1t has velvet
and ribbon and tucks and everything
to make it a joy to pretty wearers,
and we must concede that it matches
up we'll with dancing curls and merry
eyes.
We just cannot get away from long
mapped furry beaver in children's
hats, but 1t has not a monopoly in
the smart sailor with upward-rolling
brim at the top of the picture. Here
"a soft beehive crown made of row
after row Of narrow grosgraiD ribbon,
is set off by the beaver brim OF con-
trasting color. A collar, with knot
and two outstanding ends of ribbon
at the back puts a sprightly finishing
touch to successful hat.

poses and climes as the competitors
which they are destined to displace,
or at least to share favors with.
The pretty garment and cap at the
left, by contrast with its sturdy COM
panion, is only acting a part. 1t is q
sleeveless affair of knitted silk, having
a crOss-bar in contrasting color, with
small tassels suspended on silk cords
of the same color, about the bottom.
1t Is made in the slip-on style, but
opens a little way down the front
where a single button and two cords,
ending in tassels, provide fastening
+ and finish. Not much is required Of
it in the way Of warmth and it can,
therefore, afford to be sleeveless. The
cloth tam, worn with it, is run with
stitches like the crOss-bar in the
sweater in color and a narrow girdle OF
the silk is knotted loosely about the
waist. This is an Interpretation of the

that of its companion which must face

Among the very handsome garments
of the same character for Southern
tourists wear are the sweaters with
fitted body and ripped skirts, crochet
ed of heavy silk yarn. They have ell
bow sleeves ending in a wide ripple,
and, without pretense to any useful
ness, other than that of looking lovely,
they are the most dignified of all the
offerings for sports wear. The crochet
work is very open, amounting to a
heavy square mesh, for which the
blouse worn provides a background.

SICK. The first requisite is cleanliness
The patient should have as much of
variety as possible, as those who
are i'll have poor appetites and tire of
sameness in food much sooner than
those who are well.
The physicians orders should al.
ways be followed and no new food
should be introduced without first in.
curing as to wisdom of the change.
Those recovering from fever have
an abnormal appetite which cannot be
satisfied with safety. Many have lost
their lives by being allowed some food
which was craved, but which the pa
tient could not digest.
The liquid diet may be varied in
such manner that 1t never becomes
monOtonous. In beginning a more
solid diet care should be taken to have
the change very gradual.
Chicken Panada.-Remove the skin
and every particle of fat from the
breast Of a chicken. If the fowl is a
large one half of the breast will be
sufficient. Place in a saucepan with
enough water to cover and simmer
slowly for two hours, or until the meat
is very tender. Take it from the broth
and cut 1t into small pieces, then press
through a sieve, using a large spoon.
Add the broth to the chicken, season
to taste with a bit of salt. Add four
tablespoonful of cream and bring to
the boiling point Serve in a pretty
bowl with crisp bits of toast cut in
fancy shapes.
Meat Pate.-Scrape with a small tin
spoon piece of beef cut from the
round. This removes the tender meat
tibers and leaves the connecting tissue
which is tough and hard to digest.
Press the scraped beef into a fiat cake
and broil in smoking hot pan or toast
on a fork over Goals. Season it to
taste before making it up into balls.
Serve on triangles of toast garnished
with parsley.
