Care cf Feet to Correct
Athletes Foot Outlined

A committee of the American
Medical association has just report
ed that few individuals are free
from athletes foot, carried between
the toes of otherwise healthy peo-
pie. For those who are prone to
treat their own cases of athletes
foot at home, the following rules
are given:
l. Keep the feet clean and dry,
with special attention to places
between the toes. Dry these care
fully but not SO hard as to irritate
the skin.
2. Air shoes and socks when not
in use.
8. Under special conditions, keep
the feet elevated when at rest.
4. Shoes should be selected that
are as light and well aerated as is
compatible with working conditions,
5. A busting powder consisting of
10 per cent boric acid in powdered
tale should be busted on the feet
and between the toes every night
and morning.

Making Fine Butter From
Milk of Dairy Goats

While the sat slobules in costs
milk are small, cream can be OBJ
tanned from goats milk and it will
make good butter. The cream can
be obtained by the use of cen
trifugal separator or by gravity
Dreaming.
The best method of gravity cream
ing is to place the milk in deep
container held in cold water and re-
move the cream "a to SO hours
later. Keep the cream cold until
churned and stir when additional
cold cream is added. The churning
process should require about so
to 40 minutes when the ehurn is
properly filed and operated If it
comes too slow the temperature
should be raised. The churning
temperature should usually vary be.
tween So to go degrees r. in the
summer and SO to 66 degrees +. in
the winter.
Satisfactory cottage cheese and
American cheese can also lie made
from goats milk In some places
the flavor of cheese from goats is
much preferred above these prod
ucts made from cows milk.

Lake Storage

Two hundred tons of apples from
the Kelowna, British Columbia, crop
of 1914 were put in storage in Okan-
agan lake. The Canadian National
Railways granted permission to the
B. C. Tree Fruits Ltd. to use its pier
at Okanagan lake for the experiment
in an effort to save apples which
otherwise would rapidly deteriorate
due to shortage of storage space.
Herring net, 900 feet of it, was at
tached to the pier piles and then
weighted with lead. The net sinks
down into the water to a depth of 10
feet and covers the area under the
pier. Culls, or low grade apples are
being used and if they are saved by
water storage, they will be used for
dehydration and other byproducts
and if the experiment is unsuccess-
full the loss will be negligible. Re-
volving belts will 60 down into the
water corral, pick up apples and
bring them into receptacles on the
pier when required.

Coal Formed From Plants
By Storing of Elements

Plants, by their past activities,
have made the worlds fuels: peat
ard. more important, coal. Briefly
The story of the source of the lat
ter's energy is this: Long ago the
sun shone on the leaves of prehistoric
green plants growing probably on
swamp ground. Some of the radiant
energy was absorbed by the green
leaf AID used in the manufacture of
carbohy drates. The plant consumed
much of carbohydrates in the course
of it's life, but some, undergoing
slight chemical changes, became
part of the woody framework of the
plant. The tree died and fell into
the mud. Before decay of the wood
as complete, the plant was en-
aimed and carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen, originally united by the
SUMS energy and plants activity,
remained united, and the plant re-
MAR became still further carbon
lied The energy derived from the
sun remained thus dormant until in
the furnace of the steam engine, the
coal unites with oxygen, reforms
carbon dioxide and water, and lib
crates the long-stored energy.

Patriotic Charlains

In pre-Revolution days, chaplains
served with companies nearest their
churches. In the Continental army
during the Revolution they were as
signed to regiments, separate units
and hospitals. In March, 1871, the
Rev. John Hurt of Virginia, vet
eran of the Revolution, served as
chaplain for the army, deriving his
authority from a congressional act.
He is considered the first chaplain
of the army. Chaplains were as
signed to regiments during the War
of 1912. After that war, the only
chaplain in the army seems to have
been one at West Point, who also
was professor of geography, history
and ethics. Concurrent with a new
interest in education and religion,
the Office of Chaplains was restored
by congress in 1887 and post chap
lains, charged with the responsible
ity for instruction in lay subjects,
were assigned to army installa-
lions. During the war with Mexico,
chaplain was authorized for each
regiment of volunteers. In 1861,
regimental chaplains were author
ICED and Jewish rabbis made eligi-
BILE. During the Revolution, three
Catholic chaplains had served. Of
three Catholic chaplains who went
to Mexico with Taylor's army, one
was killed by guerrillas.

CT. Chanels

When soldiers 60 overseas to com
bat areas or occupied territory, they
still 60 to church. Sometimes their
chapel is a permanent one. Other
times there is a temporary or
semi-permanent one built of sal
wage materials by the loving volun-
teer labor of the men themselves.
They remember the comfort and
simple dignity of the small, slant
rooted chapels they attended in the
United States. Many of these over
seas chapels are memorials. One
was built in a Bougainville jungle
in honor of a 19-year-old Texas sol
der, first of the infantry battalion to
lose his life on the island In the
Solomons stands a chapel which
was built by 1000 natives. OF thatch
and native woods, in the shape Of
a huge heart with a cross in the
center and with a hand-carved
mother-of-pearl inlaid altar, it has
been presented to the American peo-
pie in honor of the 1000 war dead
who gave their lives OH Guadal-
canal.

Size of Okhotsk Sea

Uncle Sans warships patrolling
the Okhotsk sea are operating on
a sweep of water more than fourth
greater in area than Hudson bay.
The Okhotsk sea is the northern
most of the five large seas washing
the eastern shores of Asia.
About 1900 miles from northeast
to southwest and about 300 miles
wide at its widest, the Okhotsk sea
is framed by Russian and Japanese
territories. This land frame is COM
posed of the Russian mainland on
the west and north; Russia's spear
like Kamchatka peninsula and the
curving chain of Japan's Chishima
(Kurile) islands on the east; ia
pans big island of Hokkaido on the

Butter Xitamin

Tests made by experiment sta
tons in IA leading dairy states
showed that creamery butter aver
ages more than $4,000 international
units of vitamin A to the pound.
Butter produced in summer has
a third more vitamin A than winter
butter. Another point brought out
in the investigations was that there
is little loss of vitamin A and caro-
tene when butter is stored COM
mercially over ordinary periods at
usual storage temperatures. Caro-
tene gives butter its natural yellow
color. In the human body it is con-
verified into vitamin A. That vita
min A and carotene of milk and
butter are dependent upon the guam
tity of carotene in the cows diet
was demonstrated in the studies.
The cows principal sources of caro-
tene are the fresh green pasture
grasses and other good quality
roughages.

FAT SALVAGE

The American Fat Salvage Com
mittee has been given an offiial gov
eminent mandate to accelerate the
collection of used cooking fat to Off
set the most serious fats and oils
shortages in this country's history.
In telegram to Mr.. Roy w. Peet
Chairman of The American Fat Sal
wage Committee, Secretary of Agri.
culture Clinton p Anerson, says:
''V-J Day still leaves us alarming
ly short of fats and oils. Because we
will continue to be seriously short OF
these essential commodities for many
months to come, it is just as import
ant now as during the war to save
every bit of used fat.
American women can help us wiz
this post war battle of supply in theil
own kitchens. urge you and al
members of your committee to helI
us drive home this vital necessity II
every possible way"

Sun Aids Vitamins

Tomatoes grown in the sun on
healthy plants are considerably
richer in vitamin C than those
grown in the shades Tomatoes pro-
duced outdoors have more c than
those from greenhouses. Tomatoes
gathered from the garden after a
sunny spell will offer more vitamin
c to family meals than those rip
ened during dark weather. Tests by
scientists at state experiment sta
tons show that the intensity of light
on the plant during growth is of
more Importance in increasing this
vitamin than any other factor yet
discovered. Sunshine alone, how
ever, is not enough. Undernour-
ished, thirsty plants, suffering from
loss of foliage, are likely to produce
poor quality, sun burned fruit.
Plants that are unevenly watered or
have too much moisture at one time
and drouth at another are also poor
in quality, even in sunny locations.
Sunshine can add C value only if
other conditions are favorable for
the plant, nutritionists say.

Spectacles first came into use in
Europe late in the 18th century. At
first the lenses were set in hinge
shared frames of horn, leather and
even wood, says the Better Vision
institute. In time spectacle frames
began to be made of gold and sill
yer, often deliberately engraved. The
first spectacles had to be held in
the hand before the eyes when being
used. Queen Elizabeth is said to
have been the first person in Eng
land to have pair IF spectacles
with a nose-piece. Nearly two CEN
turtles elapsed after the invention of
spectacles before they could be
hooked on the ears, thus enabling a
person to use spectacles for daily ac-
tivities, as we'll as reading.

Colombian Fossils

In archaeological excavations in
the Magdalena valley region in Co.
lombia, DR.. r. A. Stirton of the Uni
versity of California brought back
specimens of 26 different kinds of
mammals, and numerous birds,
snakes and reptiles. Among the inn
portant finds were a giant crocodile,
one of the largest ever found; an
ancient giant armadillo-like animal
known as a glyptodsn, which has a
shell like turtle; and a rare fos-
sill monkey of the Tertiary period.
The Upper Magdalena valley region,
now a semi-desert, was once COM
posed of lush savannas along the
margin of the river which OCCASION
ally overfowed and left huge mud
banks. Some of the fossils uncov-
cred by DR.. Stirton plainly tell the
story of how the animals crawled
from solid ground onto the mud
flats, probably trying to reach the
water, and were caught In the soft
silt.

COMMISSIONER OF MOTOR
VEHICLES ISSUES WARNING

Nov that gasoline rationing has
been stopped, traffic over Maryland's
highways may be greater than ever, -
said w. Lee Elgin, Commissioner OF
Motor Vehicles. UNLESS motorists
realize seriously the dangers OF
speeding and reckless driving, acct
dent tolls will begin to climb to an
all-time higk record. We cannot lose
sight of the fact that the deprecated
conditions of the greater percentage
of our motor vehicles, as we'll as the
tempo of time, can bring about a
disturbing highway traffic accident
problem" continued Mr.. Elgin.
''It is up to the motorist to take
all of these things into serious con-
sideration and determine in his own
mind that he is charged with the re-
sponsibility of not alone protecting
kis life and property, but that OF
Others"
Law enforcement officers through
out the State will put forth greater
effort now to curb violations and
bring offenders into court to account
for their Indifference to abiding by
safety regulations.
Members of our Armed Forces
throughout the world are greatly
concerned over the welfare of their
folks back home" added Mr.. Elgin.
They would be greatly shocked to
hear that one of their loved ones met
with traffic accident, that through
vigilance could have been avoided.
We here at home must not bring any
unnecessary grief to those heroes,
who have won Peace and Liberty for
u.s."

New Screen

After protracted interference pro-
ceedings in the patent Office to de-
termine priority of invention-pro-
ceedings in which there were sew
eral neutrality-suspicious. have been
issued to Harry w. Thomas and Will
liam Dubilier for a nylon window
screen which may well displace
screens of metal wire after the war.
If hole is made in such a screen
with pencil or any other sharp in
strument it will disappear merely
by working the material with the
fingers. The government is now u.s.
ing about 5O,0OO,OOO yards of this
self-healing screen material.
Each thread has series of
regularly recurring obtuse crimps in
alternately opposite directions so
as to form succession of oppositely
directed troughs. After hole is
made in the screen and the fingers
do their work, the displaced threads
slip back into their proper troughs
and stay there, So that the screen
looks just as it did before. Without
the crimps there would be no
troughs, and the displaced threads
could not find their original places.

Burbank's Contributions
To Agricultural Progress

Luther Burbank, born in Massa-
chusetts in 1849, died in Santa Rosa
in 1926. During his working lifetime
he contributed or introduced more
plants than any other single Amer
lean in our history Many of his
productions have been of great i'm,
portance to agriculture, past and
present.
He was not connected with a
learned institution and had little
scientific training. While engaged as
market gardener in Massachusetts
about 1870, he attempted to improve
his vegetables by crossing varieties,
but because he did not then know
the Importance CT continuing his
crosses the second and third gen.
erations, his early efforts failed.
He is perhaps best known for the
development of the Burbank potato,
which with further improvements is
now the famous Idaho potato. The
developments of plums were, how-
ever, his most valuable contribution.
Like Thomas Edison, Burbank
was self-made man. He had about
IL years of school before the death
of his father. When he sold his Bur-
bank potato, he took the money
and, Drawing family disapproval,
migrated to California in 1875.
He introduced over 200 varieties
of fruits alone, consisting of apples,
blackberries, raspberries, strawber-
ries, fruiting cacti, cherries, figs,
grapes, nectarines, peaches, pears
and plums.

Invention of Loom
Boosted Irish Linens

Wren you look at piece of beau
tiful Irish linen damask, it's hard to
believe that its intricate design was
woven, thread by thread, on ma
chine-the jacquard loom. 1t was
named for its inventor, Joseph Ma
rie jacquard, the son of French
silk weaver, who got the idea when
he was called to Paris by Napoleon l
to repair a special loom ON which
a shawl for the Empress Josephine
was being woven.
The art of weaving figured fab
RIGS had been known for generations
before the invention of the jacquard
loom. And figured silks, woven in
China, had been shipped to Europe
through the city of Damascus, from
which we get the word "damask, !"
for long, long time.
But the work was very slow and
tedious. In order to form the de-
sign, certain warp threads had to be
lifted and others lowered by hand
before each passage of the shuttle
across the loom. jacquard invent
ed way of making this pattern
forming movement of warp threads
automatic.
The first jacquard loom was
brought to Ireland in 1923. Although
linen Gamask had been woven long
before that date, the jacquard loom
made it possible to weave the most
elaborate patterns in sufficient guam
titles for export all over the world.

MARYLAND WHEAT GOAL

1916 wheat goal for Maryland has
been set at 425,000 acres. This
means that Maryland farmers will be
asked to plant little more wheat
this fall than they did last year

approximately 100000 acres OF
wheat. There is need for soft red
winter wheat, the kind grown in
Maryland, and there is also need
for more feed. The U. S. Wheat goal
calls for a very slight increase owe,
