Boiled Drinking Water
by
Jack
Wilson

If there is any doubt about the
purity of the water supply, boil the
drinking water. 1t is an easy pre-
caution against typhoid and dysen-
terry, and may save bitter sorrow,
while it costs only small effort.
Have two large teakettles, each
holding about six quarts. Boil the
water 20 minutes in one kettle, cool
it in the same vessel, and leave it in
it while using the water. Meanwhile
boil water in the other, cool it, and
have it ready to use when the first
is empty. The alienation goes like
clockwork, and is very little trouble.
Boiled water has three good quail
ties, besides the best one of being
safe. First, it is free from dust, be-
ing always covered; second, it is not
flat and stale in taste, because, not
being sealed, it has become aerated
in the cooling; and, third, it is always
in q sterile vessel, vessel automat-
ically sterilized by the boiling of the
water in it. People who pour boiled
water out into any vessel, however
clean, will find it Shiny with deposit
at the bottom in "a hours. Their
boiled water is pure for very short
time and the business of sterilizing a
receptacle for water daily is endless
ly annoying as we'll as inadequate.
These two kettles, used only for boil
ing drinking water, solve the prob
lem.
Dish Drainer
A very. handy and also inexpensive
dish drainer may be made by secur-
ing two dishpans, one slightly larger
than the other. Around the base OF
the larger one punch holes, which
may be done by using large nail and
pounding it with hammer. When
this is done, place it inside the small
er pan. The dishes may. then be
placed in this, and as the water j:
poured over them it quickly runs. of

Popular Kids PARTY
The idea of a kids party" is for
the guests to come dressed in absurd
limitations of children's clothes. The
games should be such a schildren
play-for instance, Drop the Hand
kerchief," Going to Jerusalem"
London Bridge etc.
Animal crackers and candy canes,
together with other eatables sup
posed to delight the childish taste,
might form part of the refres hments.
inexpensive toys might be used for
favors, and each guest should have a
bib tied about his neck before re-
freshments are served.

Casserole of Calf Liver


Wash and wipe off calf liver per-
fectly dry. Fry few slices of fat
bacon in a pan until the fat is all
fried out, strain and return the fat to
the pan, lay or the liver and fry for
two minutes on each side and then
put into casserole. Add one pint of
rich brown sauce, cup of button
onions that have been previously
Drowned in butter and 8 tablespoons
of lemon juice. Fasten on the cover
with flour and water paste, put in a
moderate oven and cook steadily for
two hours. Then remove the paste

and through the holes into the small
pan, which holds it. After the dishes
are wiped the pan may be easily en-
ot;ed and dried. This is much pre-
ferable to the usual wire drainer.
Baby's Bed
For the infant baby, cozy little
bed may be made by getting new
wicker basket as large as CLONES
basket. Nail half of hoop about
one-th;rd from one end, so both edges
of hoop fasten to basket for frame tor
canopy. Line basket with pink or
blu. fading. Cover with white muslin
and the canopy the same, tying hers
and there with bows of narrow rib
bon.
Put soft pillow in for mattress.
This makes a very pretty bed.
Man, mothers find it hard to keep
the baoy covered. Pinning the bed
ding soon tears it. A much better
way is to sew pieces of tape to. the
end of the quilts and sheets short
distance from top and bottom and tie
to rings of crib.

THE PROBLEM OF THE FARM

To those who have been of the opin-
ion that the prevailing high prices for
all food products assure the prosperity
of the farmers it must come as a dis
tinct shock to be told by the Depart
ment of Agriculture that many thou
sands of farmers all over the country
are going this year to curtail their
production because they cannot make
their farms pay. Of thousands of re-
plies to a QUESTIONABLE sent out it is
reported that more than 10000 farm
ers declared such an intention. If this
can be taken as fair pro rata of all
farmers, it reveals an extremely sit
uation. 1t is the common opinion of
financiers, business men and econom-
lists that increased production of ev-
erything is the chief thing necessary
to bring down prices. Increased pro-
duction of food and the raw material
for manufactures is of prime impor-
lance. If, instead of this greater out
put, we face a year of decreased pro-
duction, brought about by abandon
ment of effort and not by unfavorable
crop conditions, it reveals condition
of affairs that calls for prompt invest
igation and remedy. Not all farmers
are failing to make their farms pay.
We know this from the swollen depos-
its in rural banks. We know it from
the large number of automobiles to
be seen on the farms and from other
indications Of prosperity. But, in spite
of the evident fact that hundreds of
thousands IF farv,narc ora dninor xuolI

corporations have been investigated,

cases, 20 are under further investi-
CATION, and II have been found not to
be fraudulent.
Following the established custom
of the Railroad Administration to min
imize as we'll as prevent loss and dam
age" said Mr.. Underwood, sit was con-
sidered advisable to investigate the
methods employed by all railroads I'M
der Federal control in the handling
and disposition of over, damaged, re-
fused, and unclaimed freight, to es-
tablish proper precautionary efforts to
conserve the value of such freight to
the owners and railroads. In April,
1918, Investigations were instituted,
and up to the present time have been
completed on 90 railroads, and it has
developed that in many cases individ-
nals, firms, and corporations dispos-
ing of this class of freight for the
railroads did not make proper returns.
Criminal prosecutions are in progress
in various cities, and thus far recov-
cry has been secured to the railroads
of about $4,000. The completion
of these Investigations on all Federal
controlled railroads will bring about
a noticeable improvement in the prac-
tees Of the individual railroads in the
handling, recording and disposition of
this class of freight"

Old Friends are True Friends

The man, who loves dog and
a pipe, has two staunch friends
that never fail him in good luck or
in bad. They give all and ask
nothing in return. Day by day
they become nearer and dearer to
him. The man who has not a dog
and a pipe has missed two of the
greatest things this good old world
can give.

RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit In very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work OF the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv.
Ice Is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public hearth instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play big
part.
Recreation Is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Plcnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues community singing
and other social events which bring
tie people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS result Of community organiza-
ton, townships In which there had
been neither plans nor interest In
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
Of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries. Red Cross schools Of
instruction in Home NURSING, Care of

JUNIOR RED CROSS
ACTIVE IN EUROPE

Garden seeds for Polish orphans,
milk for anaemic Greek babies, car.
penters' tools for Czecho- Slovakian
cripples-these are only few of the
gifts that young Americans are send
ing to the war-crushed children of the
Old World.
Through the Junior Red Cross the
boys and girls of the United States
are giving q fresh start in life to little
war orphans scattered all over Europe.
They have set up orphans homes in
France, school colonies In Belgium and
Montenegro, and day schools In Al
bania.
They are sending dozens of young
Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians
to American colleges in Constantinople
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
q hundred orphans of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools. In or
phanages and farm schools up and
down the peninsula Of Italy there are
nearly 500 wards Of American Juniors
Last winter thousand French chill
dren from the inadequate shelters Of
the devasted regions were sent by the
Junior Red Cross to spend the cold
months In warmer parts of France,
At the same time five thousand little
Belgians were having hot lunch every
day at Junior Red Cross school can

American school children have al
ready raised something like million
dollars for these enterprises, and they
are still hard at work.

called Brlgid of Munster, and we find
her name in several variations in the
names of many churches and places
throughout that country.

problem of how it is that while corn
can be bought for dollar bushel,
that meal should be sold at the
