ment of Agriculture)
There is no one thing that would
make easier the farm woman's work
than to have water power in the house.
The nature of her duties demands an
early rising and a late retiring; but
the countless steps in carrying water
and emptying water; carrying parings
and vegetables and unused fruits to
the pals for tSe pigs; carrying many
times n day fresh water for the fowls;
carrying, heating, emptying tubs for
the bath, for the laundry, for the cook
ing, canning. and preserving. could be
lessened If her home had running wa
ter in 1t. Give her water and she can
work out the rest of her problems.
Her garden, her orchards. her fowls.
her dairy, her lawn, fill up hours which
city people do not need to use. She
will have more time for reading and
be less of a drudge If she can but
have perfected system of water
works.
Several years ago the department
of agriculture sent out an inquiry to
thousands of farm women asking what
their homes most needed. One OF
the letters In reply contained the
quoted extract, and in 1t is voiced
the thought found In hundreds OF
other letters.
An adequate water supply is need
ed even more by the farm woman
than by her city sister, but because
this convenience and necessity must
come In the country through individual
effort rather than municipal, few farm
homes have It, In a survey made In
1918 In 20 northern states 1t was found
that but 33 per cent of the farm homes
had running water in them. Lack OF
knowledge as to what water system to
install rather than lack of means in
many homes is the reason why the
women doing the work in it are still
pumping and carrying water.
Kinds Of Systems.
The water system on the farm home
may be simple or elaborate. according
to the investment the owner Is able
to make, United States department OF

cupful of raislns. Serve will French
dressing, to which a teaspoontul OF
sugar has been added to every half
cupful of dressing. This is especially
good when green salad plants re
scarce. as It needs no green founda-
tlon.
Beet With Celery SaIad.-Boll or
bake large beets. skin and cut the
bottoms so they will set firmly on
plate. Carefully take out the cen1ers,
leaving the shells. Marinate for an hour
in French dressing. Have ready
chopped celer- mixed with mayon-
naise; drain the beet cups, fill with the
celery mixture and garnish with sprigs
of parsley. Serve on lettuce leaf.
Any desired filling may ne used.
Chopped Bermuda or Spanish onion
and cucumber is especially good.
Butterfly Salad.-Arrange slices Of
pineapple cut in halves on head let
tuce. the curved side toward the cen
ter. leaving small space between In
which to put a long piece of green pep
per to simulate the body of the but
terfiy, the pineapple the wings. Make
q head with green grape, peeled, and
feelers of fine strips of green pepper.
Decorate the wings with sliced stuffed
olives, and pass the dressing when
ready to serve.
Fruit Saiad.-Take grapefruit and
carefully remove the membrane, leav-
ing the fruit in sections. Prepare an
orange in the same way. Make nest
of lettuce and arrange the sections of
grapefruit with a section of orange be-
tween, until 1t keeps its shape In
semicircle. Red apples cut In thin
sections. leaving the peeling on, are
often used TO add color between the
sections. Arrange L spoonful OF may
onnaise where it will not disturb the
color scheme. or pass the dressing.
Chicken and Pineapple SaIad.-On
heart leaves of lettuce place slice of
pineapple; on this half cupful of
cooked chicken cut fine; over this
spread mayonnaise and decorate with
strips Of pimento.

GOVERNMENT WARNS
AGAINST SACCHARIN
Use of Substance in Place OF
Sugar Is Condemned.
Many Housewives Do Not Understand
That Drug is Serious Menace 10
Health-Majority Of States
Prohibit Its Use.

The use of saccharin in place or
sugar, which many housewives are
being tempted to resort to In these
days of sugar shortage, may involve
menace to the health, and therefore
is to be condemned, according to spe-
cialists in the bureau of chemistry vi
the United States department OF az
riculturc. In most cases housewives
have turned to this substance in their
emergency because they do not under
stand that saccharin is harm1ui
drug: to consider 1t harmless, heaith-
full substitute for sugar is apsoiuteiy
false, say the governments chemis's'
The department of agriculture has
received a number of inquiries iroi'
housewives concerning the properties
of saccharin, and in every case IL mas
answered by condemning the use oi
the drug for cooking purposes

reau of chemistry is now aiding IN the
prosecution of a large ST. Louis con-

draullc rams, pumps. air iifts or air
displacement pumps. Hydraulic rams
are the most economical wnter-lifting
devices. Since rams of vurtous sizes
and makes perform differently, II usu-
ally is necessary to accept the me-
chanical details determined by the
manufacturer The minimum, never
more than the average, flow OF the
spring should determine the size of
lie ram. Otherwise the one selected
may be too large for the dry-weather
flow. Small flows may he determined
by noting the time required to fill
vessel of known capacity. Larger flows
may be determined by weir measure
ments.
When the water supply is far from
the -am site, II is usual to pipe the
flow TO an open tank or reservoir To-
Gated so as to secure the desired
length and fall of drive pipe. Some
times the flow of a spring is too small
to actuate a ram that is sufficient for
domestic requirements. In such in
stances and where nearby brook
can be damned to obtain the necessary
power head, the recoil of the ram may
be employed to admit the spring wa
ter, which is pumped by the fall of the
brook water in the drive pipe.
Horsepower Needed.
Water may be raised by hand, wind
mill, hydraulic rams. steam. hot air.
gas. internal-combustion engines. or
electric motors. Hand power is un-
suited to large supplies of high lifts.
Windmllls are probably the most famil-
lar type of mechanical power and often
are arranged to start and stop
automatically. Gasoline and oil en-
gines are well adapted to farm pump
ing and may be equipped to stop at
any desired pressure in supply tank.
The use of electricity for pumping Is
increasing. The method Is clean,
quiet and convenient, and starting or
stopping distant pump by throwing
switch may he practical wherever
transmission lines are sufficiently near.
The whole question of water In the
farm home is discussed In Farmers
Bulletin No. 941, which will be sent
free on request to the United States
department of agriculture.

LEAGUE PROVES VALUABLE
Council Smooths Out Difficulties Be,
tween Four Nations.

Paris, Sept. 20.-The ninth session
of the council of the league of nations
adjourned today after having
smoothed out difficulties between four
nations in controversies which at one
time threatened to result in war.
Through it's action in the Polish-Lith-
uanian crisis the council succeeded in
getting the two countries to agree to
an immediate suspension of hostilities
pending settlement of their dispute,
which both sides agreed to accept.
The Aland Islands question likewise
is considered in fair way for settle
men. A Finnish reservation which
at first appeared seriously to cloud
the issue was explained as not offer
ing an :nsurmountable difficulty and
as having been made largely for tech
nical reasons.

Foehion Pads of Paris Hate ;n Potchwork Effect
 Iun,rious Wraps Being Shown

Whatever it is, the beauty of the suits, our words cannot possibly con- vcy the dashing beauty that the gar ments themselves reveal. You must eo and look for yourself.
 While the draped and straight line skirts are very new, the hooped skirts. wherever the hoop is, is very good. Place the hoop wherever you will on the new dance frock or after noon gown, anywhere from the hlgh hin line to the low knee line or at intervals between the two, and your gown will be "chic" at least.
 The hats remind us of the patch work quilts of our grandmothers. This patchwark is now the rage, ap- nlied to the hats, and takes the form of lovely flowers or fruits, butter flies or birds and is made of silk: satin, and velvet and metallic cloth and the figures are patched in ex- actly, as were the designs on our grandmothers spreads. The result IS striking and when the colors harmon ize, quite beautiful.
 Wraps for chilly days are welcom- ed now for they are interesting to look upon and they make you long for the moment when you can envelop yourselves in one of them. Being of soft fabrics they drape remarkably well. The duvetynes, the velours and cloths all offer distinction to the wearer and an originality; and the utility coats are equally attractive.
