babies" declared DR.. Max c. Stark
loft, Hsalth Commissioner of St.
Louis for thirty years, in an address,
not long ago. DR.. Starkloff gave
some remarkable statistics, in which
the effectiveness Of paint in fighting
disease germs was scientifically
demonstrated.
The New York Department of
Health is finding paint so effective
in killing germs. that it is largely
abandoning fumigation in favor of
paint for rooms requiring disin-
lection.
1t is especially essential that floors
be frequently washed, because
children are constantly getting down
on Abe floor to play. The painted
surface, being washable, is easily
kept in sanitary condition. Its
smoothness offers no foothold to
injurious bacteria. The housewife
IS finding that well-painted or var
nished surfaces relieve her of much
1rGdgery. Vigorous serubbing be-

dipped in warm, soapy water, dust
and spots wipe off easily.
Well painted, easily washed sur
faces are desirable not only in the
lIying-room. but i'll bedrooms. kit
chen, and bathroom, where insect
pests are likely to collect. Paint or
varnish applied to beds, woodwork
and shelves is an effectual weapon
against vermin, and much safer
than spraying poison around, espe-
cially where there are children or
pets, Reaches will fee from fresh
paint or varnish, because the drying
of the oil gives off formaldehyde,
which IS disinfectant and has an
odor obnoxious to them.
Frequent repainting of surfaces
has long been considered essential
in hospitals, And it is now widely
recognized that, in the homes where
this sanitary practice prevails, much
of the illness that leads to the hos
pitfalls is prevented. There is no
better way to safeguard the health
Of children than by thus keeping
dirt and disease germs at baY.

Canning Clubs Are Aid
In Thrift Movement

One of the greatest aids in thrift
is the canning club movement. The
canning club usually enlists the &C.
tivity Of the women or girls, and
cans the surplus of the locality which
would otherwise be wasted through
spoilage or no market. In many
cases, when gardens would not sup
ply enough of one article to make it
worth while to can it, recipes are
used which combine many materials j;
bit of meat with all sorts of odds
and ends of vegetables. These form
the basis of soups, salads, stews,
pies, and many Zone piece meals"
Frequently the benefit is carried fur
Their, and some group Of city business
women is put in touch with country
canning club to the great advantage
of both.
Incidentally, the useful knowledge
of canning, the joy of the profitable
work, and the pleasure and profit of
an income has meant an education
or even moral uplift to many coun-
try girl. Canning together, with one
common up-to-date equipment, the
social uses of the canning club are
not to be despised. 1t rivals the
soft-soap making delights of our
grandmothers.

ShorthOrn Association
Praised by W. S. C. Man

A definite purpose is being fulfilled
by the Whitman-Latah County Short
horn Breeders Association, according
to H. Hackedorn of the department
of animal husbandry at Washington
State College, who believes that the
association is of very material value
and that others may well be pat
termed after it.
According to Mr.. Hackedorn, the
fact that the association has some
definite object in mind has made it
one of the most successful livestock
associations in tn estate. Each year
the organization makes a tour over
the farms of the members. In this
manner they have definite working
basis for successful group.
The benefits of the tour are many.
Some time is spent in discussing diff
ferent cows, herds, and herd sires,
and the results of the various matings
from year to year can be observed
satisfactorily.
The fact that the tour acquaints the
breeders is also very valuable to the
organization. 1t has served, accord
ing to Mr.. Hackedorn, to wipe out
antagonism, and to bring the breeders
to realization of the values of CO.
operation and an appreciation Of an
other breeders ideas and methods.
In commenting on this springs
trip Mr.. Hackedorn said: During the
last three years no one needs to COM
ment upon the status of the beef in
dustry. 1t has been difficult to main
tain ones interest and enthusiasm,
but the fact that we have increased
the number of breeders and the num-
Der of beef cattle in Whitman County
during the last five years is only an
indication that there is a place for
the beef animal in the Palouse coun-
try, and that the most numerous
breed of beef cattle is the Shorthorn.
The ability of these deep milking red
and roam COWS to get most of their
living from pasture that is otherwise
wasted and in addition raise a good
baby beef steer, is the factor that
makes them valuable asset on most
FARMS"
