WOMEN TO MAKE WAR
AGAINST HIGH PRICES

Louisville, May Headers of the
churches and women's clubs and soc
ial workers here are engaged in a
city-wide drive to induce residents OF
Louisville to join in campaign to
cut down the cost of living by cur
failing reckless buying at high pri--'
ces. Thousands have already joined
and it is hoped eventually to enlist
100000 persons.
The movement was inaugurated by
Louisville club women. 1t was in
dorsed and given impetus by the
Presbyterian Ministers Circle and the
Conference of Social Workers, Church
es have approved it, and the United
Trades and Labor Assembly and the.
Building Trades Council have been
asked to join in. permanent organi-
cation.
It is proposed to organize cheaper
living committee, to be composed OF
representatives of many civic organi
cations.
Mayor George w. Smith has given
the movement semiofficial indorse-
ment by announcing his adherence
and Mrs. Smith has promised that
her household will be conducted so
near as possible along the lines OF
economy suggested by the promoters
of the idea. 49,.
~ The drive against reckless buying
is headed by the Rev. DR.. Chas. w.
Welch, president of the Louisville
ministerial Association, who is aided
by a committee including in its mem
bership a Roman Catholic priest and
a Jewish rabbi, as well as representa-
tives of women's clubs.
BUY no new clothing, shoes or
other wearing apparel" is the first
plank in the economy platform. Wear
what you have, no matter how shah
by or out of style" it continues, and
adds: Reduce the consumption OF
meat in each household; abstain from
candy, soft drinks and other confec-
tons; deposit money in the bank and
keep record of money saved through
practicing economies.
eff the people of Louisville will
take. this movement seriously" said
the Rev. DR.. Welch, 1--WE actually can
force down prices here on the neces
saries of life. Persons generally are
spending money like drunken sailars;
labor, which should be producing es
sentials, is devoted to nonessentials.
This is no time for overalss, ex-
cept for working people. We don't
want fads-what we do want is at
least 100000 Louisville people to
join this campaign Let's make it a
badge of honor to wear old clothes,
carry lunches to the office, abstain
from sweets and buy nothing but abb
solutely articles. Then watch
prices drop. 49,

THEY TRIED IT ON CATS

Lack of knowledge concerning the
right food to feed rather than lack OF
food is the cause of much Of the NAL
nutrition found among children in
this country, child specialists say and
home demonstration agents employed
by county farm bureaus in cooperat
ion with the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the State
colleges are being asked this year to
teach the kind of food that a growing
child should have.
Sometimes talks and demonstra-
lions are given to the. mothers and
sometimes they are given to the chill
dren at school. 1t is an interesting
fact that the best results come when
talks with mothers are supplemented
Iby' talking directly to the children.
Milk whole milk is always advised
las the ideal food for the growing
child, and sometimes the results of
the experiments made by an invest
igator who fed milk to rats is told
the children to drive home the neces
sity of drinking milk if they wish to
be healthy and strong.
Among the pupils who heard such
a lecture in a school in, Platte County
Wyo., were three boys from one fam
lily. All three were very much under
weight, as were two younger broth
ers at home. Their mother had had
little training in the care and feed
ing of children and the children show
ed it. She was very wiling, however
to help carry out the suggestions
about food that the children brought
home from the lecture.
Two months Iaterthe home demon
.stration agent met the mother who
told her how pleased the whole fam,
lily was at the children's gain in
weight and general health since their
change in diet. Then she said. IT
must tell you about the experiment
that the boys tried with cats to show
me that you told them about, the rats
was true. They thought that the cats
ought to do as well as rats in an ex-
pertinent of that kind. and they had
the cats and didn't have the rats. So
they took two kittens, and to one
they only fed separated milk, and to
the other they gave whole milk with
a tablespoon of cream added to each
feeding. ~
ut turned out with them just like
it did with enc rats, to the intense.
satisfaction of the boys The kitten
that had the whole milk grew big
and strong. while the one on the sap
Grated milk diet was thin and pury

Clean Up the Stable Fly

Have you ever tried to sleep on a
hot summer night when just-one mos
quito had crept through the window
screen? Imagine your state of mind
if that single mosquito were multi
piled by 100 and you had your hands
tied!
That sensation, according to the
Bureau Of Entomology, United States
Department of Agriculture, is some
thing comparable with what a
horse, mule, or COW endures when the
stable fly IS present in great numbers
The stable fly greatly resembles the
ordinary house fly but for the lance
with which he is armed. It is known
that he carries disease from infected
animals to healthy ones, and there is
some ground for belief that the in
sect aids the spread of spinal menin-
gifts among human beings.
The eggs CT the fly are laid in
loose, warm straw heaps and piles of
stable refuse A plague Of flies al
ways starts from these sources, and
the control. CT the pest is best manag-
ed by scattering the straw early in
the spring before the beginning OF
warm weather and plowing it under,
or by burning it when the former
method can Iot be applied.
Stable refuse should be scattered
regular intervals Of one week or less
throughout the season, starting with
early spring. Inthts way the first gen
erct.on OF thc pest IS destroyed and a
plague aycltvd. A recent publication
of the department, farmers Bulletin
1897, gives n detail the life history
of the stable I;y, methods for cortl oil
and some facts concerning the amou
mt Of damage dcn6 by the insect.

Relation Of Soil to Road Building

An investigation which promises
to place at the disposal of highway
engineers important information re-
garding the relation ofsoils to high
way durability has been undertaken
by the Bureau Of Public Roads, I'm
tied States Department Of Agricul-
ture. This work includes taking sam
pies of soil at spots in the subgrade
of a highway where the road has be-
gun to fail, studying surrounding geo
logical conditions to deermine how
moisture arrived in the subgrade thus
destroying it's value, making labor
atory tests to determine the physical
characteristics of soils. and obtain
ing "a scientific measure of bearing
value OF 5 is in this i'm 81 Cation
it is pr t>d - obtain as much cooper
alton as possible from various State
highway departments. The Bureau Of
Soils is cooperating with the Bureau
of public Roads in this work.
Preliminary investigation has been
started in Maryland on the Washing
ton-Baltimore road, and will be ex-
tended beyond Baltimore and on 9th
err roads in Maryland. Progress has
been made in the matter Of laboratory
testes, a number OF samples of SUBJ
grade material and other samples hav
ing been examined.
The Federal highway engineers
point out that soils differ widely in
their ability to support loads particul
arly when they are wet. Just why
this is true and just what are the
characteristics which make them diff
ferent is little understood at present.
1t is in this field of investigation, of
increasing Importance because Of the
growing Volume Of heavy traffic, that
the Federal Investigators expect to
secure important information.
