The dairy COW was never a greater
factor in the health of the nation
than at the present time Never in
our history probably have edible fats
been scarcer or higher than they are
at present Unfortunately there is no
relief in sight for considerable per
iod Of time because European dairy
herds suffered more as result of
the war probably than any other class
Of animals. This was due not only
to their destruction over large Sec
lions Of the invaded territory, but to
Che fact that folders were SO scarce
and high in price that many dairy
cows had to be slaughtered. It also
happened that the COWS kept could
not be fed sufficiently well to stim-
ulate milk production, and it will be
some months before return to any
thing like norma conditions in the
matter of feed supplies can be ex-
pected.
II, will be interesting. even though
astonishing news to our people, to
know that while England has lost a
million men in the war she has in a
measure offset this tremendous loss
by taking better care of the mothers
and babies during the war period
thar" she did In peace times. This
seems TO be an anomalous situation
and at nrst apparently unexplainable.
1t would indicate on the surface that
England has apparently not diminish
ed her dairy herds, and has had an
abundance of food for them. The
opposite Of this, however, is true.
How, then, was this apparent miracle
brought about? Simply by the fact
that the government through Its
Food Administration took over the
contrN of milk and butter in England
and by regulating the consumption Of
butter and forbidding the use of milk
except to those confined in hospitals
and for mothers and children made
the reduced supply available and suf-
ficient to meet the needs of the popu-
lation. Thus by this drastic action of
government Great Britain was able to
save a larger percentage of the chill
dren born than ever before in her
history. Two thin - are evident from
this. First, that E,.l.l is an essential
necessity to the cAi.d, and, second,
to the mother as wei.
There are a gre II many people on
the verge of givin.; uD their COWS no
matter where they are situated. They
are burdened by :Ae labor involved
in caring for the COW. Feed is diff
ficult to obtain anG it is high in price.
The dairy utensils have to be wash
ed and put away twice a day In
the eyes of many the COW is nuts
ance. If cotton is bringing a big
price and there is a demand for such
crops as peanuts and for such animals
as hogs why trouble about the dairy
COW? Simply because she is one OF
those institutions with which we can
not dispense except at loss vital to
our national interests. To those who
have a COW, therefore, let me say,
keep her. To those who do not pos
sess a cow and can secure one, buy
one.
of course, a COW must have some
range on which to gather food. She
must have a suitable stable in which
to live. But there are literally thous-

BOUND TO GET THAT HAT
Water Small Price to Pay for
Recovery of Headgear.

Back at home when his hat blew of
and started floating down the creek
he waded right IN after it. A wetting
now and then is nothing, but a good
hat, especially good Sunday hat, is
hard to find, remarks the Indianapolis
News.
He came to Indianapolis on Sun
day. He wore his light-blue Sunday
suit and his best Sunday hat. He had
been reading about the welcome home
preparations and had determined to
see for himself. So when he landed
at the Traction Terminal station he
~ade a bee-line for Monument circle.
1t was all as he had read. The Vic
tory arch, the Greek pillars, all white
and clean, the staid old monument In
the center. Would he be there on
Wednesday when the boys marched
past? Well, now would
The frisky May breeze caught his
Sunday hat. 1t lifted it high and
waited it gently down into the Monu-
ment fountain. He looked about in
dismay. The Sunday crowd grinned
and stayed to see the fun. He reap
peared. carrying a long pole. He
fished in vain from the sidewalk for
his elusive headpiece. Finally, In dis
gust, he pulled off his tan oxfords and
his heavy wool socks. He did not
wear 3. V. DIS, so he rolled up the
shanks of his long winter variety.
Then shamelessly he waded in. Di-
ana, in all her glory, did not excel
this honest Hoosier. The crowd laugh
ed. What did he care? There was his
Sunday hat, sailing evasively about
/ in the Monument fountain. He plunged
on. The hat was his again. He plant
ed it firmly ON his head, put on his
shoes and wooden socks and strolled
down the street

suspense Worse rhan Attach

There are sailors who will tell you
that the actual torpedoing Of vessel
was not very much worse than the sus-
pense and the many false alarms-any
of which might have proved to be an
enemy submarine. A merchant cap
thin was looking out to sea one day,
when in the distance ne thought he
saw something dark and round. He
watched to see whether II would move.
1t did move. and then suddenly 1t dlved.
There was no time to do anything
since he did not know from what direc-
ton the torpedo might come. He wait
cd. To his horror the dark, round OBJ
1ect rose from the waves only 30 yards
away from the boat. He said It was
the worst moment in his life until he
realized on further inspection that the
'periscope" was in actual fact large
seal with dirty yellow neck and a
full crop Of whiskers.

Soldiers Swear Words.

Despite the chaplains, the men de,
veloped the habit Of swearing; soldiers
always have. War requires emphatic
expression. 1t destroys fiexibility OF
expression-and damn" and hell" do
seem the fullest description Of sol.
dier's occupation.
It's an innocent kind Of swearing
though" said chaplain. ut does not
really blaspheme, and the men viii fall
out Of the habit when they return
home. They don't do 1t in q chaplain's
presence-unless they are under fire
when chaplains are too busy to attend
TO such details"
They did not swear when they were
In the presence of women-and ieast
OF all In the hospitals where they were
ministered to by those hard working,
practical, noble army nurses who sub.
mitted to discipline as sharp as that
# the men, and where they learned
; appreciate womanhood at its best.

Treat EN- Rouah.

This applies to all garden insects,
for none Of them are there with an
honest purpose, says the National War
Garden commission In bulletin. If
you discover that one or more hills
of your canteloupes are Infested with
plant lice, the only thing to do is to
pull the plants up and carry them off
and burn them. But in doing so you
should put Them in a tight receptacle
of some kind so that none of the lice
drop off and get on other plants for
they will multiply rapidly and you will
have part Of your fight over again.
AS for squash bugs if they begin 70

Mrs. B. o. Tufnell, writing in ref
erence to Bruges, says: II think 1t
may be Of interest to you to know that
Bruges is extraordinarily little chang
ed since the war. We were most agree
ably surprised to find our things left
behind intact and only one case had
been opened. The hotel was still well
run and comfortable, and the food was
good, only the pre-war prices had
changed for the worse! The beautiful
old city looked much the same as be-
fore. The carlton is still pealing In
the belfry, and few of the public build
ings have suffered. The port has been
greatly altered, and there the signs of
war are very evident, not only In the
huge works started by the enemy, but
In the effectual destruction of them by
our airmen. The shops are open, and
the life Of Bruges goes on as It did.
Only the welcome appearance of khaki
clad men or businesslike w. A. A. C.'s
strikes strange note in the cobbled
spaces of the Grande Place."

RECORD SEEMS HARD TO SET
Just What May Be Accomplished in
One Working Day Shown to
Be Variable Quantity.

The most difficult task of the coal
commission, says London Answers,
seems to be to discover how much coal
cutting is fair days work for
collier 1t appears that in a good
place man will cut four tons of
coal in shift, yet the yearly output
Of coal per man was only 300 tons last
year.
1t Is rather interesting to glance at
other forms of work, and to see Just
how much other toilers do in a day
Take blowing for instance. The man
who. with single pillow, turns an acre
in day, is well earning his money
In completing his task he will have
walked and guided the pillow about
fourteen miles.
Harvesting in the old days used to
he slow work, and the man who cut
by hand half an acre of wheat was
doing well. With the modern horse
cutter and binder one man, with the
assistance of two "shockers," has been
known to cut and bind twenty acres
of wheat in one day.
At one time the setting of three hun
dred bricks was considered a days
work for bricklayer. But at piece
work, and using special soft mortar,
a man has been known to lay 1,400
bricks during an 8-hour day and to
continue this average for days on end
Packing fruit is no easy task Take
oranges, for instance. These average
$50 to the box, and each fruit has to
be separately wrapped in paper. Sew
onty boxes is considered a very fair
days work, but man has been known
TO pack 100 boxes in 10-hour day. He
had teshandle and wrap 1900 oranges
to accomplish this task.
The work our men did in France
when marching in full kit Is far be
yond that Of an ordinary laborer. The
worlds marching record is held by 6
detachment Of the London Rifle
brigade. In April, 1914, these men-6s
in number-marched from London t.
brighton, distance Of So miles, in Il
hours and % minutes. They were IL
full kit, and carried rifles, q tota
weight of AZ pounds, yet not a mai
fell out.
