A woman with young children
can never have a vacation.
This “eat less lamb” propaganda
is admirably aided by the price.
Autocracy is as wise as serpents
.and as harmless as forty-two cen
timeter guns.
Nothing else in this world hits
the pro-Germans outfit so hard as
the plain, cold facts.
World-wide democracy and the
habit of growing one's own garden
truck are well worth while.
The kaiser will find out that
those who are “'too proud to fight"
do take pride in the job when they
start it. _
Men ridicule the women; women
abuse the men, but each one is
only half a human without the
i ther. _
Because is a woman's reason;
that is because a man never under
stands a woman’s because, and the
woman knows it.
Olive drab is the official designa
tion for Uncle Sam’s uniforms, and
that is about as difficult to work
into poetry as “khaki."
All the world now knows that
the Teutonic allies are responsible
for the war and nobody knows it
better than those who deny it.
While “the war is costing
tho country a million dol
lars an hour” some men wouldn’t
go to the war for an hour for a
million dollars.
Eventually the people will know
as much about the profits in $20
hogs and enormously high pork
chops. This is a great time for
1 erning useful facts.
kalian victories are striking the
chain of the Central empires on its
weakest link, which is Austria.
Thus Italy is performing most val
uable service by threatening to
bre ik the chain.
SOW WHEAT.
:;,'w wheat. Sow at least two acres
for each mule and horse you work,
y i'v wheat because it will pay you,
it because your country needs it.
Sow Southern grown seed only. Get
!;' t*d from a field that has mace a
!c:-ch yield. Prepare the land right,
now It the right >vay, at the right
t ine.
.'.'ever in the history of the civilized
world has the call do sow wheat been
so urgent as it is now. Every land
ov nor, every tenant and every share
cropper should sow his share. You
are going to be short of labor next
y< ar. Sow part of ywur land in wheat
this fall, and with what labor you
have next summer you can give the
cotton and corn better care and se
cure higher yields. {Sow wheat

A Slice of Bread.
A single slice of bread seems an
unimportant thing. In many
households one or more slices of
bread daily are thrown away and
not used for human food. Some
times stale quarter, or half, loayes
are thrown out.
Yet one good-sized slice of
bread such as a child likes to cut
—weighs an ounce. It contains
almost three-fourths of an ounce
of flour.
If every one of the country’s
20.000,000 homes wastes on the
average only one such slice of
bread a day, the country is throw
ing away daily over 14,000,000
ounces of flour, over 875,000
pounds, or enough flour for over a
million 1-pound loaves a day. For
a full year at this rate there would
be a waste of over 519.000.000
pounds of flour, 1,500.000 barrels,
enough flour to make 365,000,000
loaves.
As it takes 4'^ bushels ot wheat
to make a barrel of ordinary flour,
this waste would represent the
flour from over 7,000,000 bushels
of wheat.
Fourteen and nine-tenths bush
els of wheat on the average are
raised per acre. It would take the
fruit of some 470,000 acres just to
provide a single slice of bread to be
wasted daily in every home.
To produce this much flour calls
for an army of farmers, railway
men, flour mill people. To get the
flour to the consumer calls for
many freight cars and the use of
many tons of coal.
But some one says, a full slice of
bread is not wasted in every home.
Very well, make it a daily slice for
every 4 or every 10 or every 30
homes- make it a weekly or a
monthly slice in every home, or
make the wasted slice thinner.
The waste of flour involved is still
appalling altogether too great to
be tolerated when wheat is scarce.
Any waste of bread is inexcusa
ble when there are so many ways
of using stale bread to cook delic
ious dishes.

Sultry Day Drinks.
There Is nothing which so delights
the inner man on a hot day as some
thing cool, tinkling with Ice and at
tractively served.
Another Way With Grape Juice.
Soak a tablespoonful of gelatine In
a half cupful of cold water and dis
solve It in three-quarters of a cupful
of hot water. As soon as dissolved
add the juice of three lemons, a cupful
j each of sugar and grape Juice. Pack
In two parts ice and one part salt and
when the sherbet Is nearly frozen stir
In tjie beaten white of an egg and
finish freezing. Let stand at least
three hours to ripen. With the scis
sors cut a half-dozen marshmallows
into small cubes. At serving time put
a generous spoonful of the sherbet
into toll glasses and fill the glass with
grape Juice which has been diluted by
half with ice water and sweetened If
necessary. Put a few of the marsh
mallow cubes on top and serve with
small cakes and straws.
Fruit Drink.
Add a cupful of grape Juice to a
quart of strong lemonade and two
spoonfuls of shredded pineapple. Lem
onade may be used as the basis for
many combinations which are always
plensing to the palate.
Iced coffee as well as iced tea is
delicious with a slice of lemon and
bits of ice. The usual coffee infusion
should be diluted about half, wifh wa
ter to make it properly palatable.
Orangeade.
Allow the juice of a lemon and a
pint of water to each pint of orange
juice. Add sugar to taste and when
ready to serve add a quart of charged
water and pour it over a large piece
of Ice in the punch bowl. Garnish with,
mint leaves if so desired, or whipped
cream to finish, as a garnish, makes
a drink most attractive and »ot usual.
Fruit Mint Julep.
Boil three pints of water and 1%
pounds of sugar ten minutes; remove
from the heat and udd a cupful of
bruised mint leaves; cover and let
stand ten minutes. Strain through
double cheesecloth, add to the juice
of a dozen lemons, a cupful and a
half of orange juice, and the same
amount of strawberry Juice. Four a
quart of charged water with this mix
ture over ice and serve at once with
sprigs of mint and thin slices of lem
on. Or sliced strawberries may be
used in addition or in place of the
lemon.
'TbxoU i!L
Knew What a Sapling Waa.
An American ambulance driver late
ly returned from the French front tells
of visiting an instruction catnp In
England before sailing for the United
States. A gunner, he said, was learning
to shoot at targets, and the of
ficer In charge asked the novice:
“You see that sapling on the hill
side?”
"No, sir,” replied the gunner after
a rareful look, “I don’t see no sap
ling.”
“What,” yelled the officer, "you see
no sapling? Why, there’s one right in
front of you!”
After another squint the soldier re
ported as before. j
"Look here,” said the officer, “do you
know what a sapling is?”
"Oh, yes, sir,” answered the gunner,
'a young pig.”
Frenchman Will Not Retire.
When he has laid by a “pile," which
the Englishman or American would
consider ample to Justify him in taking I
n house In the suburbs, “climbing” in
society and retiring from business, the
Frenchman still clings to business.
Although his everyday expenses are
very probably less, he has as a rule
far heavier drains on his purse. Each
of his daughters will claim a handsome
dowry if she is to be married well, and
these dowries must be paid without Im
poverishing the business.
This system of interwoven family
and business arrangements naturally Is
associated with the closeness of the
ties of French families. A man and
wife would ns soon think of deserting
each other as of deserting their “in
laws.”
No Sanctified Constitutions.
“Some men." wrote Jefferson In his
old age, “look at constitutions with
sanctimonious reverence, and deem
them like the ark of the covenant—too
sacred to be touched. They ascribe to
the men of the preceding age a wisdom
more than human, and suppose what
they did to be beyond amendment. I
knew that age well; I belonged to It
and labored with it. It deserved well
of its country. It was very like the
present, but without the experience of
the present. ... I am certainly
not an advocate of frequent and un
tried changes In laws and constitu
tions. . . . But I know also that
laws and constitutions must go hand in
hand with the progress of the human
mind.”—New HeUUbLlc.
