check will be clear profit. If he does
not his cream will be produced at a
loss, thinks D. T. Herman, ENten-
sion animal husbandman, who says
that the dairyman who is not raising
hogs, is working at decided disad-
vantage and the man who is raising
hogs and is not using all the skim
milk he can get for his pigs is over
looking a good bet.
4 leading dairy paper asked its
readers: do you consider that a hog
herd is absolutely essential on a
dairy farm to realize the most profit
from the by-products of the dairy
farm" Of the answers received
S0.42 percent said Yes"
Buttermilk is equal to skim milk
in feeding value if no water has been
added. Both should be pasteurized if
secured from a creamery. in order to
prevent the spread of disease. es-
pecially tuberculosis, to which hogs
are very susceptible.
Both skim milk and buttermilk fed
alone are too watery and too rich in
protein to produce economical gains
Just enough should be used to bal
ance the ration. Up to that point,
the more used the more rapid the
gains. The best proportions are: Just

FLOODS BROUGHT NIGHT OF TER
R0R AND DEATH TO BURLINGTON
WOMEN HEARD DR.. cRUMBlNE
viii Give $500 to Hospital From
CITY Federation Treasury

Dr. Crumbine of the state board
board Of health addressed the women
Of the City Federation at the junior
high school building Tuesday after
noon. DIR. L. II. Conklin made a
short talk in introducing the speak
er. DIR. Crumbine talked particularly
with regard to proper diet. He said
that 20 per cent of the school chill
dren in the United States were under
nourished but added that more people
die from over eating than ever starve
to death.
"It's moderation that we need" he
declared. 81 like the old English
style of making the time we spend
at the table, a social time. We eat
too fast but l don't advocate the
Fletcherizing idea."
Continuing his plea for modera-
ton he quoted parody on the
rhyme about Mary and her lamb.
1t ran as follows:
MARY had a little lamb, some
Holsters and some stew, and then she
had a piece of pie, some cake ana
macarOOns. 1t made the naughty
waiter laugh to see her order so /;
and when they carried Mary out her
face was white as snow"
DIR. Crumbine stated that what
appeared to be mal-nutritiOn among
children could frequently be pre-
vented through fresh air in sleeping
| rooms, baths (mOre than just the
one on Saturday night and plenty
Of vigorous play.
I'm strong for play" he asserted
'+'Children should be given the great
| est liberty in vigorous play"
He added that there Is much need
for discipline in the home with a
view to developing in children habits
of good health and good character
He explained that up to two years
ago Galleries were thought necessary
for life sustaining diet but that
they had given way to vitamines
| which are now considered essential.
Following DR.. Crumbine's talk the
Stapleton Concert Orchestra played
/ two selections and third In which
Mrs. Cecil Brooks sang. They re-
ceived warm applause. Preceding
the lecture there were two health
songs by children who go to the Red
Cross rooms.
During the business meeting
which followed, the Federation voted
| to contribute $500 Of the money In
the treasury to the hospital fund
The question received unanimous
vote. A rummage sale was decided
on and the date set for Friday, April
j21. The proceeds of this sale will
be turned over to the civic depart
ment for general use.
The Federation voted unanimously
to concur in the recommendation OF
the business men to the city COM
missioners that the proposition of
the Gunzleman Brothers regarding
the erection of an inn at Sand
Springs and the leasing Of ground
for that purpose be rejected.

FIND GOOD SUBSTITUTES
But Some Things Must Have Rea|
Platinum
Associated Press1


Washington, March 2S.-GOvern-
ment scientists after extensive inves-
LEGATIONS have found what they de-
clare to be satisfactory substitutes
for platinum for various purposes,
according to an announcement by
the United States Bureau Of Mines.
In chemical requirements and for use
in high-duty electrical contracts,
however, the announcement said, no
substitutes for platinum has ever
been discovered.
One of the most promising substi-
tutes was said by the experts to be
what has come to be known as
white gold" which is an alloy Of
gold and one of the platinum metals.
This closely resembles platinum, it
was said, and is not attacked by nj
trio acid. "White gold" is used ex-
tensively in certain classes Of jewelry
but does not replace platinum in the
manufacture Of high class jewelry,
it was pointed out.
