PRODUCE MORE OR CONSUME

After all is said, and after what has
been done, and is trying to be done,
the whole problem of reducing high
costs for everything SINNERS down
to very simple explanation of only
five words: produce more or consume
less.
If farmers everywhere should pro-
duce twice as much as the world could
consume, wheat and flour would soon
be drug on the market; or,
If the world should consume for,
say, two years, only one-half of the
wheat raised, then, too, would bread
be cheap, and for want of storehouses
to contain the surplus, the staff of life
would become food for live stock.
! The same reduction in selling price
would be true Of corn, potatoes, cat
tile, rails, overcoats, kid gloves, rub
Der boots, houses, automobiles, and
all the rest.
With a cold winter ahead and a
scarcity of nuts and acrons, the squir-
rels don't work half time or go on
strike. On the contrary they hustle
harder than ever. Squirrels know
that quitting work neither increases
: the quantity of nuts, nor accumulates
a reserve stock. And the higher the
price of nuts in the squirrel market,
the less they stop to chatter about it,
and the longer and harder they work.
1t is part. of the price we pay for
living outside a strip under the equa-
tor that we have to produce by work
what we eat, and wear, and use. But
who wants to live amidst malaria and
venomous reptiles in order to wear
palm leaves and have breadfruit drop
into ones hands?
The merchants shelves of the world
are practically bone-bare. One goes
to purchase a needed article and is
obliged to take something one does
not want, or wait an indefinite time
for suitable goods, ordered months
ago, to arrive. Is, it1nets evident that
greater production Sf decreased sXon-
sumption, if indeed hot sBotht a the
only avenue of return to normal con-
ditions? The first can only be ac-
complished by greatly intensified eff
'lort in every industry, and the second
by individual, personal sacrifice.

Use for Wasted Whey
Development of method Of utiliz-
ing whey as human food is the OBJ
ject of work now in progress in the
Bureau of Animal Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture. It
is thought probable that whey repre-
sents a greater actual loss of food
than skim milk-which now has be-
come an important by-product in the
dairy industry-because it's feeding
value is not generally recognized.
Cheeses have been made from whey,
but the demand for them has been
limited. The use of these cheeses
might be extended if their value for
cooking could be brought to the at
tention of housekeepers. Investiga-
tions of the use of whey solids as
poultry feed also have been begun.
Considerable work has been done on
the development Of casein for use in
waterproof glue, and casein of low
ash and acid has already been produc-
ed.
A method Of producing casein from
buttermilk is also being worked out.
By use Of. solvent to extract the
fat from the buttermilk, small lots of
casein have been made, and this pro-
duct was found to be of general good
quality and low in fat and ash, but it
had the objection of dissolving slow

Two thirds of Canada's forests have
been destroyed by fire In the last 70
years. according to figures of the
forestry department of Canada. The
amount of timber burned would have
supplied the world for 40 years at
the present rate of consumption and
represents loss OLA billion dollars.
The white man is not alone RESPONSE
BILE for the destruction of American
forests, though he has enough for
which to answer. An eminent scien-
fist and historian, according to Ameri-
can Lumberman. states that if the
discovery of America had been post
poned five centuries the discoveries
would have landed on q treelesS con-
tinent. Indians and lightning set these
fires. The Indians were burning the
woods TO make pasture for deer and
buffalo. Most of the forests had been
destroyed in the region between the
Rocky mountains and the Mississippi
river before the sadveLt of the white
man. "

MONEY A TRUST FUND.

1t would be the height of wisdom
and safety If every man should regard
the money he possesses In the light Of
a trust fund. The honest custodian
Of funds held in trust feels a grave
responsibility. He seeks to do intel
ligently his duty by the owners of the
sums in his charge Now every man
with capital, small or large, is virtu-
ally a trustee for somebody-for his
dependents or for himself. He should,
therefore, be as careful as possible to
make good employment of the money
he has acquired. A poor investment
reacts adversely on the individual. Ii
lowers his morale, sours him. lessons
his account as citizen. while ii may
impose suffering on those whose pro-
tect0r against want he should be. On
the other hand, a paying investment
makes one more of a man and better
factor in the community, while Ii may
add TO the happiness OF many besides
the investor. says Leslie's Weekly. One
of the essential steps I'm making the
world better and brighter is TO teach
men and women what to do and what
not to do with their money.

DAME FASHION SAYS

That many OF the smartest new
suits have extremely long coats.
That Paris shows n decided liking
for simple suits Of homespun chevlot.
That crepe de chine is smarter than
ever. Crepe de chine gowns are
trimmed with Jet beads and delicately
touched with embroideries in wool.
That chiffons and georgette crepes
are no longer beaded and embroidered,
but depend upon fragile laces for the
small amount of trimming which they
receive.
That medieval Italy has a hand in
the mode. Its influence is felt in the
low waistlines which appear on many
frocks and in the long, tight sleeves
with turn-back cuffs.
That there is no trace left Of the
white embroidery upon dark fabrics
which was SO popular during the past
season. There is virtually every other
conceivable combination of colOrs,
however.
That prominent designer has made
new dinner gown of black char
meuse which depends only upon its
cut for the trimming. A petaled skirt
is topped by sleeveless blouse. The
effect of sleevelessness is counteract-
ed by modest little round neck.
That the peasant has a decided in
fluence on the mode. Especially is
this seen I'm the vogue for elaborate
embroideries. The peasant embroi-
deries from Roumania. Poland, Greece,
Czecho-Sloyakia, Syria and Arabia
quite outdistance the more aristo-
cratic smbroideries from China and
Persia.

The bath is the sign and substance Of
civilization. The clean are conscious
of superiority. Physical dirt endured
too long encourages mental dirt. The
morale Of the stanchest patriot will
break If he is kept too long from his
tub. a nation may be judged by it's
per capita consumption Of soap, and
the dearth of soap played no small
part In the breaking of the military
machine that was Germany. The hot
bath that flourishes among us on Sat-
urday nights and leaves the nation
with that peaceful. pious feeling on
Sunday mornings is an institution dis
tinctly American, writes Robert Quill

In their homes and indulge in this

MUFFS and BAGS
Dress Accessories That Are I'M
portant to Women.
Large and Puffy Hand Warmers OF
Baby Lamb Are in Vogue
This Season.

One of the best poses that Pari-
hand, and TO suit each individuality
muffs are in various styles. Besides
the classical muff Of fine fur, which
does not change a great deal with the
seasons, there are, this season, notes
Paris fashion writer, the rather
large and puffy muffs Of mongolia" or
baby lamb These are the two new
furs, and of course they would have TO
be made up into muffs or there would
be no point TO their popularity. These
muffs Of the newer furs are built on
very supple foundations, lined with
gathered lengths of chiffon, which add
TO their luxuriousnesS and loneliness.
At Jenny's a big muff, matching the
coat that it is designed to accompany,
is made Of strips of mongolia" swol-
len In the middle and tapering of TO
thinner ends. At the same house there
Is another muff made Of this same fur,
but as a variation 1t has strung across
its broader section a strip Of bright
golden braid, with jet fringes that
cover one another. At Madeleine ct
Medicines muffs are quite small and
are trimmed with shaped flounces at
each end At Lanvin's they break the
drical In shape.
In handbags one finds much more
variation than one does among the
muffs, the shapes of which are more
or less established In character. Ante
lope is the skin that is most used for
making pocketbooks and handbags.
They have mountings and handles Of
tortoise shell that are lovely to see
and so delicately wrought that they
are works of art In themselves, even
world.
Bags of antique beadwork are car
ried only with afternoon gowns and
by those who have much money to
spend on acquiring them. But for those
of more slender pOcketbooks but the
same amount of taste there are lovely
copies of these older bead weavings
and newer ones designed after worked
out patterns. Bags of brilliant bits of
silk and bags that are made of collec-
tons of little silk flowers are very
charmingly done in Paris, though
these are not carried by the really
smartly dressed women, who wish to
retain any reputation for being con-
noisseurs in their own particular art
of dressing in unquestionable taste.

MAY MAKE YOUR OWN SCARF
Accessory IL Worn Now as IL Has Not
Seen for Many Seasons
Past.

We have gone back to the day OF the
scarf. At least, we are living in n
day OF scarfs, call II going backward
or forward, as you like. The scarf is
worn now as 1t has not been for many
seasons.
1t Is quite possible to make many
OF the lovely scarfs yourself. To be-
gin with, there are serviceabIe scarfs
Of tricotine. This fabric comes woven
In tubular fashion, and one buys a
yard and half or two yards OF II.
according to the desired length of
the scarf, turns under the ends, tuck
Ing fringe of matching color in
them and fastening them together, or
else fastening the raw edges under
and then tying the ends OF the scarf
with homemade fringe, made with
heavy silk floss matching the color
of the scarf
Then there are Scarfs of geOrgette
crepe, embroidered with beads or
spangIes. You can stamp these scarfs
yourself with a suitable design. and
then sew the beads or spangles in
place without too much trouble. and,
IL you work carefully, with surely
good results.
The tied and dyed scarf is another
homemade possibility. To make this.
perhaps the best material is a tan
colored fabric, either crepe de chine or
pongee. The idea is TO dye the ends
Of the scarf another color. The de-
sign remains the color of the founda-
ti0p scarf-tan, we'll say.
To get the design, one ties the
scarf about with cotton cloths, and
the part under the cotton cloths does
not dye. Then one dips the whole
end into the dye, not leaving it very
long, and not, of course, boiling 1t.
You see, if you crumple the scarf
together and tie two rags around the
end, two inches apart, and then dip
1t, you will have two parallel stripes,
with Irregular edges. You can get q
most interesting circle effect by pull
ing up bit of the scarf and tying a
rag around it a couple Of inches
down. OF course, you must tie all the
places at once.
