REFRESHMENTS NEXT TO GO
Food and-DrInk, at Social or Business Gatherlhga'.peclared to Be In .
Opposition to Conservation.
Food conserratioD is being religiously preaclied, and we are being taught that It is a sli^-to waste even a cabr boge leaf. T h l s l s all well and good, but nobody seisms yet to have organized a systematic attempt to effect a tremendous saying in food by the simple expedleiit Of abolishing the cnstom or fashion of "serving refreshments" on any nnd ev^ry occasion, in season and out of seosbn, says thc Woman's Home Companion, Whenever a handful of people, get together, either for business or pleasnre, refreshments hnve to be trotted out nnd passed around. In most cases, the consumption of food and drink on these occasions is stiperflqfins.and a waste, pure nnd simple. Nobody needs the refreshments—till too often the persons, indulging In them are full to repletion nl-reauy. ~
Every patriotic •woman Interested In food conservotion .and thrift shbuld (consider this matter.and appoint herself a coihmlttfee of one to make this overdone, wicked ' ojnd unnecessary practice unfashionable. Why not make It n matter of sotinl ethics to eat only (hree hieals n uny during the war, and make It unfnshlonable or a breach Df etiquette to waste food by serving refreshments tit purely soeial functions? Entertaining frieiids at regular and estubllshcd meals is not, of course, meant to be tibollshed, btit merely superfluous, unnecessary and senseless eating and drinking, just . ior the sake of Indulgence.

but In an unguarded moment bc chose Lis brothcr-indaw. ., -
One night they mode a feast, ^ e y baked a great number of things alt. In onc pan. _t«> w-hen It came out.of the oven It seamed t o , demand that It should oil be served on'ene platb. Mr, Miller looked over tho supply, of dishes tlint had been left out for his use and there was really nothing that would contain It. A ytild spirit of revelry seized Mr. Mliler.
"We will do the thing up right," he shouted. -
He went boldly into the china closet and brought .out the very largest platter. • . ; . ' . . • • .
When the meal was ended. Sir. Miller's brother-in-law suggested dish washing. Mr. Miller.did not favor the plan, but finally yielded to It against his better judgm'eiit. What happened' was quite natural.
Tile plotter slipped and fell and broke. -
After all the years, after ail the family pride and care I
From thnt night on those two men took up nnd carried about with theni a dark secret, for this Is w:hat they did —each carrying a piece of that platter, they w-ent from one china, storo to another until they found jts duplicate. They carried It home and brought In a -n-omon to wash it and replace it on the shelf of the china closet.
Now w-lien Mrs. Miller entertains her friends and one of them soys: "How 1 envy you tliese beoutifui dishes, nnd it is so remarltable that not one has ever b"e"en broken," Air. Miner ana ma brother-in-lnw sit with a fnr away lopk in their eyes and a dark secret in their souls. '
Servselfs Also Afloat. There Isn't a chance of dodging
them any more, either on Innd or on sea. Tfie sailor boys on the U. S. S. New York form In line bet-n-ecii decks and, tray In hand, select their food nt the counter of the ship's servseif. A •blackboard over the-contrter-itsts bill andin all other respects except the presence of the- grasping ctL^hier the service Is just like the midday lunch back home.
The new- method, which is to be installed on ali of the big battleships, replaces the old system of messmen and mess units, says Milestones. Then all of the food for the meal was piled on the plates at the tables by the mess-men and the job of serying the entire unit w-as completed before the men were "piped down" to their cooling food.
Snrely hot food, in the amount yoa want and of the kind you want, must be an Improvement uver the did mess, but juggling a tray loaded to the gunwales with benns and corned beef and brend and coffee, on the rolling waves must be something of n fine art.

much dependence sbould not be placed on the oatural coolueaa, of tho ntmns-phere, for the chances are that this wUt not suffice. It Is a noted fuct thut during the fall and early winter purchasers of milk often flnd It more difficult to keep tbe product from getting sour ttiaa they do during the hot woather.
Milk should be cooled to at least 50 degrees F. immediately upon l>elng drawn from the can and kept at that temperature unUi used. If the ordinary coolness of the atmosphere Is depended upon for tills. It may be liours before the milk reaches the inquired temperature, and in the meantime microbes have been multiplying whicii in a sbort time will render the milk unfit for use. To produce flrst-cliiss milk the same care is demanded in the winter montlia as during the summer, cleanliness and a correct temperature being of cardinal importance at aii tiroes.
GIVE SORE TEATS AHENTION
Wliero Trouble Results From Improp-, er Milking Ointment Made of '
' Zinc, and Vaseline.
, 'When cows have sore teats caused by improper milking, applying an Qlnt-ment made from 1 dratd of oxide,of zinc and 1 ounce of vaseline applied when the soreness is first apparent will probably be sufficient. If the teats break out in pimples which form scabs it is ia ail probability a case of cow pox, in which case the affected cows sbould be Isolated .from the remainder of the herd and due precaution taken to preveat the spread of the disease, which is Tery contagious and can be carried to other cows in the herd on the hands or clothes of the milker. Treatment consists in applying,, three times a day, an ointment made by mixing together 4 drams of boracic acid, 20 drops of carbolic acid.

Brown Swiss cattle, as the name indicates, originated in Switzerland. They are remarkably stsong, healthy-animals, larger and coarser than any other dairy breed. "While many individuals have made excellent dairy and
Champion Brown Swiss Cow, milk records, the total number of the breed in this country is small and It has not, therefore, been as Important a factor In the dairy industries here as It has been in Switzerland. The number of animals Is rapidly increasing, and the breed Is receiving more attention from dairymen.

GAY HUES PREVAIL Some Petticoats Match Trimming
of the Millinery or Gown.
Many Women Refute to Discard Gar. mcnt Despite Coming of Narrow
Skirt into Fashion Again.
Petticoats are suid to be going out of fusliloii i>ecauso nurrow skirls ure coming into fushioii again. Nevertheless, there are luuuy women who w-ill never bl- iirevulloO upon, stylo ur n'< style, to liiscani the most fviiiiniue guriuent dC llio warjjrobe,
For them huve been pr'ivlded tnuny .cbaruiug-luudcls of -soft- silks- mid ot chilfon taffetus. Those muterluis do not udd uny perceptible bulk to the silhouette, while they give just enough bucking or foundutlon to Ufe dress to preserve the otiginul Unea.
The black petticoat is a rarity. One no longer considers the.extremely prac-" tlcal phase of dress, but regards it more or less of a duty to w-ear cbeerfnl clothes. If pnriile und scarlet, green aiul yellow;^ are top pronounced for outer habiliments, then they may be merely glimpsed beneath the tailored skirt or the trottetir of serge or satin.
It Is a pretty idea to have the petticoat match the trimming of the millinery or of tho gown, if the latter shows garniture of a contrasting color.
Some women have the petticoat of a color correspoodiog tj-ith the hosiery;, but if the former Is very gny, It i s qiiestlonable taste to extend its Jubilant note to the ankles and thereby practically dfcstroy the charming effect of the color suggestion Id the undergarment.

In One of Hcr Best Pictures
" THB AMAZ^ONS" If you were (old to make a role hotli absurdly, swaggeringly masculine, a i i t lye t appeal-
iugly feminine at the same time, what would you "register'?" This Waswhat little" .Vdr^ueri7fl Clark, "the sweetest girl in motion pictures faced when she commenced rehearsals for he r latest, picture, "The .\m;izons."
As "Tommy." the daughter of the Marchioness of Castlejordan, she-makes thc most fascinating boyden ever caught by the eye of the camera, and thc tale of her ,advcntures, amusing and romantic, forms a photoplay seldom ecjuallcd in the history of filindom.
In boy's clothes. Tommy parades tiirough the village where he lives to the scandaliza-tioii and secret delight of the villagers, but when it comes to the same antics in London—jvell, you will have to see for yourself. Marguerite Clark, in nifty dress suit and gleaming silk ha t will appetir at Page Hall Theatre on-Monday tifternoon and evening, at three, six and eight o'clock in "The .\mazons. You can't afford to miss her in liiis, her funniest ])icture. -

FEED COWS WHILE MILKING?
Much Depends on Temperament of Animal and Person Who Milks and '
Attends to Her.
' Th^e^lias^ been some little discus^ slon recently In the various funu papers oa t h e matter of whether It Is advisable to feed cows while milking. It would sefem to me that Uttle udvantage can be gained from sucb a practice and there ore several noteworthy object ion*-to-Itr says a •writer In un exchange. Of course, much depends ou the temperament of the cow. aud the person who milks and cares for her. There a j e cows with a quiet disposit ion and^ not of a hoggish nature that will stand quietly while being mUked. In fact few cows will not stand more quietly dnring the milking process If they have nothing else to attract their attention. If tho cow is standing quiet' ly s^e sees the milker when.be ap-, preaches and steps In beside her. She also 'gives down her mllk more freely than when she Is attempting to eat at the. some time.
On the <&]tber hhnd, if a cow bas hcr bead °dowq,'-ln the manger she wlU probably ' i^f see the milker when he approacbea, and the first intlmatloa she ^las of his presence Is w'hen he speaks to,,; or touches ber, and If she Is of a nervous disposition sbe wlll probably Jomp back and then continue to annoy nim during the entire process of mllktng;. '
PROPER-QUARTERS FOR COWS
Suitable;;Place Must Be Furnished In Order'.to Get Best Results-^
' P r o v i d e Ventilation.
To give: best results milch cows sbould be.prbvided with suitable quarters for feeding and milking. Stalls should be provided for each cow and feed boxes-and mangei^-raeks -should be so arranged that they will be of easy access for cleaning at least once every day, ' Twenty-five dollars, 'plus' the labor, sbould flt any ordinary bam with stal ls for flve cows and the necessary feed boxes, mangers and gutters. • , .
Plenty of ventilation is necessary, because t h e , cow is somewhat like the human being, she thrives best where there is plenty of fresh air available. Provision should be made to take care ot the manure, Thts can be'done by providing..plenty of bedding in box stalls, oiy-^-stahchlons are-used, by having Tivater-tlght gutters about 14 Inches wide and 10 Inches deep running full length of the stable.
RATION FOR HOLSTEIN COWS
In Addition to Hay and Silage Eaeh Animal Should Have Certain
Amount of Grain.
Feed the cows all the clover hay and silage they will clean np well without waste. Holstein cows wlll, ou the average, eat dally from 10 to 12 pounds of clover hay and 30 to 40 ponnds of corn silage. In addition teed each cow one pound daily of the

It took' the public Just s i x , weeks to level the fashion to the commonplace. I t Is because of this public acceptance that the style must be dealt with generously by the reporters

Cream that tests from 35 to 40 per ceat will keep In good condition longer. Is more easily cooled, handled, costs Icfss to transport, leaves more sklm-mllk on the farm than d' thinner cronm. On the other hand, with a heavier cream there is a mechanical 10K.S by sticking to the sides ot utensils when handling, and a quantity mny get Into the milk while separating.

of fashion who usually can give only passing attention to each new Idea as it Is shot across the battlefield of apparel. One man's Idea attracts attention, but that attention Is defiected by ever}- other man's Idea, but when this Individual Idea Is multiplied a thousand' times by buyers and sellers, by women who pretend to be fashionable and by those who care nothing about the word, then thc fashion becomes "the style," as we term It In this country.
If you talk earnestly with those-who deal In exelu.sive clothes, you will hear them say that the silhouette must change and that It is more than probable that the bustle wlll become more of a feature In the spring nmong high-class designers than it Is today.
There Is no disposition on the part of the American woman to. save In the buying of clothes desplte-'kll the propaganda on this subject, and no matter what comes later. It the war continues, the process of buying gobs on merrily today.
No Return to Fullness. There Is not the slightest Idea ot
a return to fullness in frocks or boats. There are two good reasons for this announcement—a scarcity of material in certain quarters and the wish of the vnrlous governments of the world for strict conservation, aad also the fact that we have been over-surfeited with fullness in clothes and the very sight ot such a gown gives, us a squeamish attack of sartorial Indigestion. It is almost unbearable today to look upon a looped, pannlered, be-frlllcd or beflouneed costume. We wore hoopsklrts, even though thcy were disguised under the nome of the farthingale, until we felt ashamed to look at a barrel, and it Is not possible tor either the French or the American ileslgncrs to compel us to turn our attention to such clothes In fhe immodiate future.
Wc want slimness, wc look our very best in sllnincss. nnd we arc quite will-Ins to wear less mntcrlal thnn since the Civil war, but we are tired of tunics. Our troublo Is that we don't wnnt a return to tho email wnlst we will not b.ivo more material put Into onr clothes and we Insist upon a straight line from armhole to hips, but something must bo done with our skirts It our palate for clothes Is to be tickled any further. , 'Dnder the infloeocr o f t h l s tmpa* ticnce nnd annoyance with a continuity of line In clothes, there Is no
FINDS HIS LOST SHEEP V^HTH AIRPLANE

Smith already htm two nlncty-horscpowcr planes, and In known as "the flying nhocphordcr." Smith nnyfl tho airplane method 'Of finding lost flocks has s<avcd him a •m.tll fortune and the Ilves ot countleia shoop.

reasbn jrby something approiachlbg th«i tie^back , iUrt and tbe biistle, of 187Q-, 80 'should iiot. appear quite gradtialiy over the horizon, for the better class o l clothes. ' '
'Nothing More Than Soft Drapery.',. • Tou know by this time, of course,
tbat the bustle Is nothing more than 8 bideous word for a bit of soft drapery arranged to break the tight
/'and often Inartistic Uno across the flgure'at the eod of the spin^. This drapery is the saving grace on certain types of broad, stout figures. It mny be almost impossible to believe that among this race of flat-hipped, long-4imbcd, sUm-cbeatcd, ' blg-wnlsted American women, which the last ten years have produced, tbere nre stIU women, and many of them, who have what Is called the, ancient figure. Of course, it Is not the nnclent figure at all, for that Is the new flgure to which
'olt'modernists'aspire, but what the dr«3smakers mean by the phrase is the 1880 figure,, which, has never been controlled or suppressed or even treated with contempt by a certain segment of American women. Chests out, stomachs In, hips rounded and waists tightened i s the artlflclal figure that was stami>ed upon three generations of Amerlcnn women auS hns not-entirely died out. ' T h e r e are other women whb hnve long since forgotten that they ever had a wnlst, butthey cannot subimierge the'flesh around their hips and back and they look their worst in chemise, tunic and sandwich govvns. Therefore, the biistle drapery i s ' for thenr. If thQ.dressmakers can handle It In a manner that suggests novelty and achieves artistic results, w£ shall probably see It in the foremost fashions'.
Now as to the Frencli bustle—it wais copied from the Directolre period and taken, like all the Directolre clpthes, from the fashions of a century before Nupoleon aspired to control of France. It merely transposes the drapery as the Americans use it, frofa the back to the front
Bulloz Is the apostle of this bustle. It, you can call ' the'drapery in front ~by that pame. Bulloz, through bis color schemes and his' da.rlng, bas, assumed something of the widespread authority in clothes t h a t Paul Polret held, tmdlspnted, until he went to war. Bulloz dips his-haads deep- ln to -h i s tory,' pulls out anything bis fingers can grasp and puts all that be.finds into the most modern of clothes. Two years ago his efforts •were npt taken seriously in this Conntry; today, all tbe' designers over here who wish to cater to an excIusLve patronage, buy freely ol Bulloz.
The hallmork o l his work this season Is that drapery across the front of the figure below the w n l s t It is deftly done. This drapery really sinks into the surface of the skirt and drips dbwn Into the cascades that run below the knees at each-side.
Uplifted Line In Skirt. The entire dressmaking world of
Paris w-as a bit touched with this fash-Ion. When you look at all the new gowns that smart women appear In, and wheii.you gaze at the shop windows to try tp choose the frock you would like to wear, Vou may notice that a common thread of idea runs through tbem all I n , t h i s npUfted line in the front of the sk i r t
This trick, as you remember. Is not new to the twentieth century. It belongs to the days out of which Goethe created Faus t Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, there was a disposition to drag the clothes up in the front and tie them in'loops and drapery below the waistline by running a cord under the fullness.
It looks as though a revival of this fashion were upon us. T h e skirts are dragged up so definitely In front either

(CoprrKht, ItlT; VTaiUrn Namptptr Union.) "~Clah(^'\Vj'etffJTnd a tlenlInmlndand process. Joseph Trull an Idenl. Tho former was populnrly designated ns a keen, pructlcal business man, the lat-
- t er n r u visionary ahd^ffresmel'. Na-t u r e h a d formed both with strong Individual Intellectuollty.
Clancy 'Wyeth wns floor broker for a big firm-on tho grain exchange. Its ofllces were a rare glitter of. gilt and plnte glass. Joseph Trull had a desk nnd nnrrow offico In nn obsolete business block, where he did translation work for the foreign departments of-local banks.
"I have a pretty Idea In mind,", he told a friend one day. "You know our old family homestead, flfteen miles from,the city of Fendale, Is mine. It has not been occupied' for two years. They have built up some palatial homes nenr to it, and I have been waiting, espectlng to get a good, otter for It. Well, the house Is old, but it can be'made habitable. There are fifteen bearing cherry trees In the orchard. Tra going to hnye n crowd of these llt-
,tie ones out for n'week, soon as the .cherries are. ripe." •' "Excellent! grand!" coiSmentcd his friend.
- "I shall pick out flfteen of the most ideserving children," continued Trull, "and apportion to each a tree. It will be their tree to ' dream ovet, to long for, weeks before the visit. I will keep the fifteen for a week, hire a cook and a Burse. One week end the mother of each little one will come dnt and pick ;one-tree, and I will see that the cherries nre delivered by wagon at the ,clty home."
Jtist this plan Jasper Trull put Into operation. The motliers who came out
with' the little ones, were provided with ladders and baskets, and went horne hnppy and content. There was one little tot, the youngest of the group, a girl not yet three years'of •nge. She nnd t h e others were allowed to roam freely about the place.
"I cannot flnd Uttle Dora," the nurse Informed TruU one afternoon near dnsk.-and he started ott In search of her. Ncaring a high hedge that seporated the gronnds from those of a fine mansion occupied by a fnmlly nained Crosbyf he caught the echo of Yoices, and'pnused. He noticed a hole. In the hedge, and peering over its top his eye took In a lovely picture.
Upon the grass •n-as seated a beautiful young woman, whom he doubted not 'n-as''Mlss Eunice (3olby. She had. little Dora In her lap,' and-had woven a garland of flowers for her. The prattling tot was beaming with delight.
"Please excuse me," spoke Joseph, "but the nurse is anxious about this wandering little charge of hers, and-1 promised to flnd her."
"Oh, you are Mr. Tmll," spoke the young lad.v, arising and kissing little Dora and then handing her through the hedge. ' "I have heard, so much of your noble work. Will you not aUow this sweet little mite to come ovei' again tomorrow? The rest of the family are awny, and she is rare company."
Joseph promised. The nurse herself the next morning took Dora to the hedge nnd consented that she should remain all day in MIsa Colby's charge, a.s the latter wished.
Now, by a strange freak of fate, Clancy Wyeth visited the Colby home that day. He had only a casual acquaintance with Mlss Colby, but he had her In view as a prospective heli^ ess, and hoped to make an Impression. For his "deal" looked flne.
"The Uttle brat!" he fairly hissed, after devoting an honr to Miss Colby, he found her devotedly engrossed in entertaining her Uttle visitor and acting rather bored at his presence. He went nwny disgruntled.
"She won't be so Indifferent, when I make my pile on the deal," he mut-
'tered. "Please keop a IlJ.tie back from the
hedge, Miss Colby." Trull .iald one evening. " "Little Dora Is down with fever. The doctor says It is infectious, and that we must quarantine the house. Do not run any risk. I will have the nurse keep you Informed as to how Dora gets along."
But there wns no nurse the next day. They hnd taken the alarm, as well as the cook. Both had departed. Tmll had cooked the breakfast himself, and wns attending ns best he might to the three who hnd come down with the fever, when a knock at the door sent him thither. He opened it to confront Mlss Cojby. She had a suitcase in her hnnd nnd started to come In.
"You must not," he told her. "It would be only to expose yourself to the contagion."
"But I have come to stny," persisted the determined little lady. "Please don't scold or deter me. Mr. Trull," she pleaded. "I have sent for two nurses In the vlllnge, and, If you wlll Iso-Inte nnd care for the well ones, we wlll attend to the sick little charges."
One month nfter that, Clancy Wyeth, the man of the deal, found that the Infonnation he had paid for as to the potato crop wns a fraud. The market broke, his flrm failed, nnd his dream of opulence ended.
About that same time there was a grand' Jubilation at the TruU home-stend, for Epnlce Colby and hcr aids had brought the invalids safely throngh their ordeal, —'^yon-have-wronghtn-blcsslnfr,'* Jas
per told Ehnlce, nnd lovo as well as gratitude impelled the sentiment, and In the depths of those beautlfnl eyes he read a mystic response thnt thrilled his soul to hope and happiness.

"Guesswork In apportioning milk to the dairy cnlf Is expensive both from the fact that irregular amounts often cause digestive troubles and because more milk than neces,sary Is frequently fed." This statement Is quoted from Circular No. 202, publlsbed by tbe Illinois Experiment station. Urbana, IU.
A general rule is to feed one pound of whole or,_»kliaroed mllk to each eight pounds of live weight, rarely feeding in excess of 12 pounds of either. The. schedule of feeding tiscd by' the IlUnbls ptatlon calls for four

In height these same calves sbould Increase from one and one-hnlf to two Inches per month for the first hnlf year. The height and weight have a definite relation for average sized calves during this first period. After six months this relation gradually changes and the weight outstrips the height. At one month of age a normal calf of any breed- weighs, approximately three pounds for each Inch in height, but at the end of the six months' period tho weight has Increased to six and one-half pounds for ench Inch In height. From that time on there is a continued widening In the relation of weight to height until maturity.

SPATS POPULAR FOR WINTER
Gaiters Over Tie* and Pump* Wero In Pronounced Majority at Horso
Shovv In New York.
Spats arc going to be worn again this winter. If Indications at the horse show at Madison Squnre Garden are to be followed, snys Women's Wear. Ties and pnmps were almost the only types of footwear seen, accompanied in nearly every case by spats.
There were a few laced boots of dark tan with lighter top#, and ono young girl wore tan oxford and worsted stockings In a gray heather mixture. Gray, almost bordering on rose taupe, was the keynote of this entire costume, one of the smartest there.
The suit wns of grny duvetyn; the skirt plain, the coat knee length and gathered In by a loose belt of the material. The small toque was of the samo materlol, with a short visor effect. There was no trimming on either bat or suit, but a taupo fox scarf was thrown across the shoulders.
NOTES AND NOTIONS "
The fashionable suit Is rather severely tailored.
Hnts with flowers nro promised for tho future.
Tassels are populnr on millinery. AH draperies should fall In perpen
dicular folds. Tailored shirts favor tho masculine
shirt bosoms. Bustles or bnstle effects are increas
ing Innumber. Matiy of the smartest frocks iiavo
Chinese embroidery. Blouses nro showing necks elliptical
Instead of round. Black velvet nnd white duvetyn aro
