enable him to sell better and defeat

Prohibition of Beefsteaks
DIR. Klein, of the U. S. Department
of Commerce, is quoted as saying to
the National Chain Stores Association
at their recent convention in Chicago,
that "The battle-cry of down with the

campaign for prohibition of beef
steaks. We did not know before that
the government was so favorably i'm
pressed with the predatory attacks Of
the retail distributing combines and
the elimination of the independent

Whv I Relieve in Girl Scouting.

Why Believe in Girl Scouting.
I believe that Girl Scouting is one
Of the pleasantest of pastimes, as well
as being very efficient and instructive.
Haven't you noticed that it is usually
q Girl Scout who is outstanding In
courtesy, helpfulness and such things
as these?
Scouting, as an outside activity,
means more to me than any other
activity in which partake. There is
a greater variety of things in Scouting
than in most activities. I love learn
ing to cook, to sew, to care for child
rem properly and to learn first aid. If
you are a Scout you probably know
why think it is interesting.
Girl Scouting makes us more
thoughtful of others; it betters us
morally; makes us more helpful, more
obedient, better physically and ment-
ally;more dependable and more cheer
full. In larger cities, Girl Scouts visit
Old Peoples Homes, Hospitals, Or
phanages and Poor Houses to help
cheer up these unfortunate people.
We are less likely to destroy harmless
creatures or chop down trees for no
reason at all. What does this mean
to our country. Inestimable wealth.
Why? Because, if we chop down the
trees we do not plant another in its
place. Think of all the trees that are
cut down every year, and not one OF
them is replaced. When Girl Scouts
are around to prevent this as much as
possible you can see why say zines
timable wealth"
There is a great deal of outdoors
activity in Girl Scouting, in such
things as hikes, canoe trips, pioneering
and nature work. Everyone knows
how heaHhful it is to work in the
fresh air. This is one of the most i'm
portant of our health rules.
Through leadership, training re-
ceived in the form of patrol leaders,
corporals, and lieutenantS, Girl Scouts
gain initiative, an important factor in
success. "A Girl Scout.

DID YOU EVER STOP
To THINK?
Edison r. Waite. Shawnee, Okla

E. Lansing Ray, president and pub
Usher of The st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat, says:
did you ever stop to think that you
can go to stores right in your home
town, and by judicious selection, be
assured of getting the same quality
as that which purchaser in New
York or st. Louis or San Francisco
gets?,
Modern methods of manufacture
and distribution have given you this
advantage. Your grandparents
bought their soda crackers, their
candy, their raisins in bulk, from a
grocer who scooped the merchandise
out of bin. In those days the buyer
could only hope that he would get
full measure-or perhaps extra meas
ure. He could only hope that the
goods he bought would be pure-as
high in quality one week as the last.
"But until the business genius found
a way to package merchandise, and
until business pride and business fore
sight inspired the marking of pack
ages with dependable brands, the con-
sumner could never be sure Of uniform
ity IN the weight or quality Of the
things he bought.
To-day the manufacturer who
places his trade mark on pair Of
shoes, bottled beverage, or a can of
peas, proclaims with pride, This is my
product; shall keep it good
"Then, if he is wise, this manufact-
urer will advertise his trade mark to
the nation, and tell you, in your home
town newspaper, where you can secure
his brand. And the people in the
New England States can buy with
confidence, and the people in Che
Southern States can buy with con-
fidence-sure OF getting the same
value as the people In Pennsylvania, in
Idaho. in Oegon, or--even in the fam
Gus 49th State.

See that the foods your child eats

ferent kinds of foods: milk, eggs meat,

cereals; and butter or cream.

Farmers Bulletin 1497-F contains
much useful information about laun-
dering clothes, and some suggestions
about ironing them. How to fold a
mans shirt, tablecloGhs, and other fiat
pieces, and how to wash sweaters, cur
tains, blankets, pillows and infants
woolens are among the practical dir
ections found therein.
A cream colored collar is often more
becoming on wool dress than white
one, unless the background of the dress
material requires white. Cream and
ecru are often used because they blend
we'll with other colors. Plain colorS are
better for collars on figured material,
because they emphasize the face which
is the natural center of interest.
Try this: Place an unopened can of
salmon in a saucepan surrounded by
boiling water. to heat 10 or Is minutes.
While this is cooking, prepare boiled
salad dressing. When opening the
fish, place a cloth over most of the
can, make small hole in the top to
allow the steam to escape, and cut
around the entire edge so that the fish
can slide out without breaking, onto
a hot platter. Pour the hot dressing
over the salmon, sprinkle with finely
chopped parsley, and serve at once.
Turkey feathers when properly pre-
pared command good prices as pot
entail feather busters, feather beds,
pillows, etc. The turkeys should be
dry picked and the feathers spread out
to air and dry. While drying they
should be turned frequently. The
quill feathers should be separated from
the others; sometimes it pays to sep
arate the white feathers from the
colored ones,
Good quality silk is durable mater
ial, but it cannot be washed like
cotton. Use only lukewarm water for
silk garments, for both washing and
rinsing. Make good suds of a neutral
soap, and wash with as little rubbing
as possible. Be careful that the silk
does not come in contact with wash
ing powders which bleach, because
these powders may rot the material
Increasing egg production by the use
of artificial lights in the late fall and
winter should not be overdone. The
hens working day should not be over
II or IS hours for best results. While
the use of lights keeps the laying stock
in better condition and increases egg
production, excessive use of them is
harmful Some poultrymen use lights
only in the morning, and some in both
morning and evening. When lights
are used in the evening, dinming
device should be provided so that when
the bright lights are turned off the
hens can see to go to roost. According
to the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, a 40-watt lamp is a desirable unit.
Lights should be about 10 feet apart,
feet above the floor, and should be
fitted with reflector about 16 inches
in diameter.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

Ir the body the iron is an impor-
tant ingredient of the red blood cells,
associated with the carrying Of oxy-
gen by the blood from the lungs
throughout the body.
If a person loses red blood cells,
he gets pale and anemic.
There is, however, nothing to be
gained in anemia by taking vast
quantities of iron, since the body
can accommodate only a certain
small amount. The entire quantity
of iron in the normal body of a
full-groWn person is about one-tenth
ounce, which makes one part to
$4,000 by weight
If the body is conducting its
chemical affairs in an orderly
manner, only trace of the iron
is lost daily during the processes
of digestion, exercise, breathing and
similar functions.
1t has been estimated that the
total Wastage and loss amounts to
about one-f1fth of a grain or about
one seventy-f1fth of gram, which
is about the amount of iron that
could easily be shaken off a rusty
nail.

We Paw for the War

Paris dispatches hail the agreement of the eX-
merits commission as final definite settlement of the
reuarations problem 1t is hardly that, The govern
ents concerned have yet to ratify the work OF the
EXPERTS. And assuming this will be done there re-
mains the unpredictable future.
The. agreement provides scale of German pay
ments running fty-nine years. In the light Of the
last ten years experience it is highly improbable that
anv elaborate reparation system erected now can
withstand changing economic conditions for
decade, much less for half a century.
The great value of the Young plan, like the earlier
Dawes plan is that it reduces political claims nearer
to economic realities and provides stabilizing period
until the public and politicians strong enough to
face the disagreeable facts.
The facts are that Germany cannot possible pay
more than traction Of the allied costs and that
the allies cannot possibly pay more than fraction
Of their debts to the United States
Such unpleasant truths are not learned quickly
But the Young plan is most encouraging evidence
of progress Ten years ago at the Paris peace con-
