Warning to Farmers.

The attention of this office has re-
Gently been called to peculiar
disease appearing among horses and
mules on several farms in the West
ern part of the State. Upon investi-
eating these cases we have found the
trouble to be Forage Poisoning in
every instance. This Is not new
disease, having appeared from time
to time but with greater prevalency
during some years than others. It
is commonly spoken of as Blind
Staggers." The appearance of this
trouble is invariably associated with
the feeding of mouldy grain or rough
ness. On account of the unsatis-
factory results in treating this di-
sease, 1t becomes very essential to
rely on preventative rather than cu-
ratixes measures. Consequently we
I 4utioning farmers to avoid
feeding anything to horses and mules
which has become mouldy. The fact
that you have fed mouldy grain or
during previous years with
out bad results is not satisfactory
argument to justify its continuation.
Stop feeding bad feed to horses and
mules and thereby stop losses from
Forage Poisoning.

New Sales Commissary Popular in
Coblenz.

According to a recent copy of "The
Amaroc News" paper published in
the interest of the American Forces
in Coblenz, Germany, all the facili-
ties of an American department store
are now available to the American
and Allied families living in the area
of Coblenz. Almost every article OF
merchandise needed and every food
stuff required in the home from fuel
to groceries and meats to fruit and
vegetables, can now be purchased
from the Quartermaster Corps. Ser
vice facilities of the new commissary
include the handy feature so priced
by the average housewife of being
able to telephone orders and get them
delivered the same afternoon. The
big building used for the store was
formerly barracks for American
soldiers. The interior was remodeled
and fitted with counters, booths, of
fees, etc., it's central location and
ample floor space is ideally suited to
the purpose.
A newly inaugurated system of au-
diting and handling each days bust
ness has been put in charge of a
chief abstractor and an individuakre-
cord is kept of each booth, using es-
pecially abstract of sale and inven-
tory store sheets. At all booths ex-
cept the butcher shop and clothing
section, cash is paid across the coun-
ter for each article as is the custom
in civilian store, the only differ
encc is that the merchandise is sold
to purchasers at Government cost.
The department store nature OF
the new commissary is still further
resembled by parcel-wrapping coun-
ters and clothes trying-on rooms. Al
fioor-walker is on hand to see that
all booths are kept supplied with
ample stocks of the articles that are
handled. His duty is also to invite
and make suggestions for the better
ment of the Service. Supplies suffi-
cient to last a month are stored in
the main building which can be re-
plenished as needed from the big
Quartermaster Headquarters at Cob
lenz. A large supply of clothing for
officers and enlisted men is on its
way from the United States.

UTILIZING MILK FOR SOUPS
Leftover Portions Of Vegetables and
Other Foods May Be Made Into
Nourishing Food.

prepared by the United States Depart
nent of Agriculture)
A large variety of soups may be
made by utilizing not only milk but
also leftover portions of vegetables
and other foods. In making them al
low from one-half to one level table
spoonful Of flour to each cupful of
liquid (including milk and the. juice
and pulp Of vegetables) and one level
tablespoonful of butter or other fat.
Some of the f1avors which may be
used are onions, corn, asparagus, cab
bage, cauliflower, peas, beans, toma-
toes, salmon or other fish, celery, spin
ach or grated cheese. These soups
are nourishing and oftentimes a child
not fond of milk can be persuaded to
get down to the daily quart necessary
for his health by having part of it
made into a milk soup.

HAD AN EYE TO THE FUTURE
Farmer May Not Have Known Much
About Music, but He Was a
Bear on Economy.

A Woodworking farmer in Ohio had
sent his son to a good school of music
so that he might receive the best in
struction from the beginning. 1t was
necessary to buy violin for him, but
ne was such little chap that his
teacher thought that sO-called half
violin" would do. The father, whose
resources had been badly taxed, was
loath to part with the money for the
instrument, but finally did so.
The lad made rapid progress, and
became so proficient that a half-violin
was no longer good enough for him.
Again he went TO the music store with
his father. TO whom the salesman
showed the entire stock Of violins. The
parent was apparently dissatified
with all of them. and his gaze wan
dered around the shop seeking for
something better. Finally he saw a
violncellO.
"We'l take that big violin there"
said he, as a smile of satisfaction
spread over his countenance. THE
boy won't outgrow that right away"

Weather Appetite Graves Serve Fruit

prepared by the United States Depart

With fresh fruit in plenty the house
keepers problem of what to serve for
dessert should not prove difficult. She
can take vacation from dessert max
ing and at the same time serve her
family with delicious, refreshing des-
serts. Make the most of the fresh
fruit while it is in season. All ripe
fruits contain sugar and by using it
the craving for sweets can be satisfied
without using much cane sugar The
family will be better off without rich
desserts for a time.
What better dessert is needed than
slice of cold watermelon or half of
delicious cantaloupe? It is mere Gus
tom that makes people feel that bowl
of fresh fruit-pears, peaches or
plums-are not as good served in their
native state for dinnersas they are for
serts would be of advantage both from
q dietetic and economic standpoint.
But, voice protests, 1--WE grow tired
of fresh fruit day after day." For the
person who wishes a change from
fresh fruit, the following desserts may
please. They are easily made and as
easily digested-two good points dur
ing the hot season. They may be used
to alternate with the dessert Of I'M

the seeds. Put in a baking pan with
little water, cover and simmer over

WAR TAUGHT PEOPLE
TO PRACTICE THRIFT
National Wealth Is Divided Among
Us All.
Essential as a Guarantee That We
Shall Remain Prosperous, Progress
sive, independent and Depend
able as Nation.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Household thrift helped win the
war. 1t will fortify the peace, making
America powerful, its people prosper
Gus and its homes happy.
Thrift is steady earning, wise spend
ing, sane saving, careful investing and
the avoidance of all waste.
What the members of one family
produce in outside industry and in the
home adds to the national product or
wealth heap" of food, clothing and
all desirable goods this national
wealth heap is divided among US all,
and out of it every family, each one
of us, gets his living.
What one home wastes is taken
away from the nations wealth and
makes all homes that much poorer.
The war taught US to practice thrift
together in food, in clothing, and in all
goods, in order to serve America and
save the world. Our country asks con-
tinued thrift in the home as a guaran-
tee that we shall remain prosperous,
progressive, independent and depend
able nation.
By thrift every household can take
its part gladly in every government
lean; by investing in government Sc
curities it can safeguard its future and
increase its income so as to fulfill the
American ideal of personal independ-
ence and constant progress toward bet
ter living.
Thrift is a permanent service which
the household can render to the ma
ton.
