CATTLE THIEVES ACTIVE.
Have Been Stealing Cows in and About
Rutland

Rutland Aug 29.--What farmers be-
lieve to be an organized gang of cattle
thieves is operating in Rutland county.
About three weeks ago COW belonging
to Henry Lester of the town of Rutland
living just north of this city, was missed
from the yard. 1t was supposed that
the animal had strayed but when no
trace of it could be found as time went
on, the owners were led to believe
that the COW was deliberately taken
from the yard by meat thieves.
This conclusion was strengthened
when, few nights ago, one of herd
OF cattle belonging to NJ. B. Fish, who
lives near Mr. Lester, was missed from
pasture About the same time a Pitts
ford man lost COW in a mysterious
manner.
A heifer belonging to the Rutland Fire
Clay company was shot while grazing in
q pasture near the foot of Mendon
notch" and its carcass was carried
away.

PEACE COMMISSION
COST MILLION And HALF
President Transmits Detailed Amount of
Expenses to Congress-Expenses
every Moderate"

Washington, D, G., Aug. 20. President
Wilson asked Congress yesterday for an
additional appropriation Of Ss25,0O0 for
the expenses Of the American peace com
mission in Paris from last July to the
end of this calendar year
The president said that up to July
the total cost for the commission had
been Sl,250,629 and he estimated that
by the end Of the year the total would
reach 81 500, $50 Part of this has been
appropriated heretofore.
Among the largest items up TO July
were included Sl44,9l4 for subsistence,
100000 for salaries, Sl05000 for eS-
penses Of the commissions sent into 9th
er countries.
In transmitting detailed account of
the expenses, the president said that in
view OF The 200 per cent increase in
prices in Paris as the result of the war,
he considered the expenses of the Amer
lean commission very moderate" When
it began its work in Paris. the American
delegation, the president said, consisted

creamed toast While this gives a dish
of less food value, it is liked by most
children and is a variation occasionally
worth while. Most grown people enjoy
Dreamed toast to which a small bit of
grated cheese has been added to give
flavor. Tomato juice that has been neu-
tralized with soda as in the making of
tomato soup may be substituted for one
third or for one-half of the milk in
creamed soups. This is often used as a
supper dish One eighth of level tea
spoon of soda with one cup of tomato
juice is the amount used.
Custards are very similar, whatever
the flavor A bit of eocoanut stirred into
the mixture before cooking gives a pleas
ing flavor Now that sugar is more plen-
tiful, caramel custard may appear again.
Stir one-fourth cup of sugar steadily
over Che fire until it becomes a deep
brown color Then add an equal amount
of hot water. Simmer a few minutes
longer until syrup is thick, then remove
from fire and let cool
One tablespoon of this caramel placed
in the individual custard cups before the
custard mixture is pour,d in gives rich
flavor to the custard
Baked custard sometimes curdles; that
is, it appears watery, This is due to too
much heat Custard dishes should always
be placed in pan of water in the oven
to prevent overlooking
Junket is a favorite with most people,
as it offers wide opportunity for yaria-
ton in flavor Junket with fresh fruit is
delicious, bit of whipped cream adds
butterfat which is such valuable addi-
ton TO the child's diet and also improves
the flavor A bit of caramel added to
junket changes both color and flavor.
Variation in cream soups: The most
peculiar appetite can surely be satisfied
with the wide choice offered here.
Peas, beans, corn, asparagus, potatoes,
tomatoes, practically any vegetable that
grows may be used in cream of vegetable
soup or a combination of vegetables may
be used. Since green vegetables as well
as milk furnish important health pro-
noting substances, this is a dish that
should be used in some variation day
after day. Dorothy Dexter.

aFEEDING THE EYES" BLAMED
For Much of the High Cost of Living in
the United States.

Chicago, Aug. 29.T-To a considerable
extent, feeding the eyes instead Of the
stomach is responsible for the high cost
of living, according to authorities here iii
the milling and grain trade. They cite
the fact that rye -four is 1856 barrel
cheaper than white -four, although, ex-
cept for looks, the rye flour is equally
good or better as a food.
Unusual cheapness OF rye -four at this
time is ascribed to two cause.-the stop
page Of whskey distilling and the sub
stitution of white bread for rye bread by
thousands of workingmen, who, until the
era of high wages, used rye bread as a
rule.
1t is said also by the milling experts
that so far as known here the United
States government is purchasing only
white -four for shipment to Europe, not,
withstanding that the bulk of the popu-
lation across the Atlantic is far more
to rye bread than white.

Color Your Pet Dog.

Color your dog to match your dress
That's the latest wrinkle, reported to
have originated in Oklahoma City. Ii
you wear pink, your French poodle
should be pink; if green, your Spitz
should be the color of sea wave. A Rus
sian wolf hound done in mauve goes nice
1y with blue gown. A striped or polka
dotted Scotch collie carries out the effect
of striped or polka-dotted costume
The extreme followers of the style have
their dogs match their jewels; blue
spaniel with sapphires; crimson chow
with rubies or garnets.
The new style applies to men as well
as women. If a man wears gray tweeds
with a green-striped shirt, green necktie
and green silk hose, his bull terrier may
be either green to match his tie and socks
or gray to match his suit, or green and
gray to harmonic with his general color
scheme.
For automobilists it is the thing to
have dog "ritted "-that's the new word
lin color to match the upholstery OF
the car, or in strikingly contrasting
shade. If the upholstering is pale blue a
red bulldog grinning out the window of
the limousine is neatly effective.
The new fashion originated with Mrs
T.. B. Alexander, a fashionable and pref
ty woman of Oklahoma City, Her first
appearance on the street with pink
Spitz as the completing detail Of her
pink costume, created a sensation She
added variety to the fashion by changing
the color of her dog every time she
changed the color of her gown The style
spread to many cities in Oklahoma and
Texas, and woman no longer considers
herself correct unless her dog is ''rittedn
the same color as her dress

Scent Fares Still Profitable.

Philadelphia has right to be proud
of the fact that it alone of the larger
cities of America has not been brought
to the necessity of an immediate CON
sideration of higher street, car fares The
nickel standard fare still prevails here,
and President Mitten gives the assur-
ance that the maintenance of the stand
ard is the ideal for which he is striving
and will continue to strive. He does
not need to be told that there is deep
seated tradition in America in favor of
the fiye-eent unit and that a depart
ure from that unit fare is invariably ac-
ccmpanied by falling off in the number
of the profitable short distance riders
and, as a rule, by a reduction in reve-
nue. "More rides at five cents, not less
rides at higher fares" and street car
riding is a habit to be encouraged" the
the phrases he uses in describing to
the carmen the present aims of the 2. r.
T., and he may be sure of the cordial
sympathy Of the riders with this policy.
So long as the riders are made to feel
that the company is giving them a fair
deal, so long as they understand the
reasons for whatever the company may
decide to do to effect economies in opera
ton without materially reducing the
service or adding to the discomforts Of
the rush-proof traffic, they will cooper
ate cheerfully and willingly 1t is only
when they are kept in the dark about
the purpose of the management that they
become suspicious and resentful Of
changes. If a policy of frank under
standing has yielded such admirable re-
suits in maintaining cordial relations Of
confidence and goodwill between the
company and its employees, it is safe to
predict that similar policy will insure
good relations between the company and
the millions who are daily dependent
upon the sreet ears.-Philadelphia Public
