WASTES MUST BE STOPPED Our Allies Are Short Large Quantities, and the Burden of Replenishment Must Pall on North America, The food administration has Issued the following statement on dairy con ditions : Milk and butter supplies are de creasing In the United States, while our population Is Increasing. The dairy herds of Europe are diminish ing rapidly because of the conditions created by war, and there Is no prob ability of Improvement in these condi tions. The dairy problem in this coun try, therefore, Is not only a war emer gency problem, but one that will con tinue years after the war. The world's dairy supplies are de creasing rapidly for two Important reasons. First, the dairy cattle of Eu rope are diminishing, for Europe Is be ing driven to eat Its cattle for meat; second, the diversion of labor to war has decreased the fodder supplies, and the shortage of shipping has limited the amount of imported fodder, and therefore the cattle which can be sup ported and the productivity of the indi vidual cow have been reduced. Even our own dairy supplies are not keeping pace with our growth of population, for our per capita milk supply has fallen from 90 to 75 gallons annually, In the past IB years. Yet, today we must ship Increasing amounts of dairy products to our allies. Diverted to Germany. The dairy supplies of the allies In normal times come to a considerable degree from western Scandinavia, Hol land and Switzerland, but under Ger man pressure these supplies are now partly diverted In Germany. The men under arms and the wounded must be supplied with condensed milk In large quantities. The net result of these conditions, despite rigorous reduction of consumption among the adults of the civil population In Europe, Is that our allleB are still short of large quan- titles and again the burden of the re placement of thlB shortage must fall! on North America. The growing ex-, ports of dairy products from the United States to the allies are shown in the following table: Three year Tear ending pre-war average. June 30, 1918. Butter 4,467,000 lbs. 11,487,000 lbs. Cheese 8,780,080 lba. 44,394,000 lbs. Condensed milk 17,792,000 lbs. 169,667,000 lbs. The high price of fodder and meat In the United States during the past few months, Induced by the pressing European demand, has set up danger ous currents in this country, especially In those regions dependent upon but ter and the sale of milk to municipali ties, having made It more profitable to sell the cattle for meat thnn to keep them and produce dairy products. Therefore, the dairy cattle are decreas ing in those sections. The only sec tions In which dairy products have had a rise In price In appropriate propor tion to the increase in cost of feeds are those producing condensed milk and cheese. Supplies Are Decreasing. Our home milk and butter supplies are therefore decreasing while our pop ulation Is increasing. This deficiency of dairy hutter, Is shown by the sales of margarine, which shows an Increase of several million pounds per month over slmtlur periods In 1015. Dairy butter, however, 1ms qualities which render It vitally necessary for table use. Milk has no substitutes, and should be not only Intrinsically one of our cheapest iinlmnl foods, but Is ab solutely fundamental to the rearing of the children. The dairy situation resolves Itself Into several phases. First, It Is to be hoped that the forthcoming abundnnt harvest will result In lower prices of food and diminish the Impetus to sell the cattle for meat. Second, the In dustry needs encouragement so as to Increase the dairy herd and thus our dairy supplies, for the sake first of our own people nnd second of tho allies. The people must realize tho vital de pendence of the well-being of their chll- rWi and thus of the nation, upon the encouragement nnd upbuilding of the Industry. Third, we must save the wastes in milk and hutter If we aro to provide milk supplies to nil, especially ncluillng the children of the crowded districts of our cities. BEAN MEN PROMISE HELP Will Do Everything Possible to Insure Supply of Vegetable at Rea sonable Price. Tho bean growers and bean dealers )f tho country have notified the food hlinhiislvatloii that they are ready to lo everything within their power to help the nation win the war, and to henefll the American consumer through i reasonable price for this Important food, they declared today, at the end of a two-dny conference. Itoth the growers anil tho dealers an nounced that they will co operate with the national government In every way In producing nnd distributing as large a supply of beans as possible, expect ing only :i fidr profit over the expense if their business. The dealers pledged themselves to curry out such measures as the presi dent and the foot! administration may desire for the purpose of winning the war. They offered the food adminis tration the privilege of examining their hooks In order that a fair profit may lie determined. Wants American Lin.

ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD PREPARE FOR WAR. The first teat a man Is put thru for either war or life Insurance Is an examl nalon of his water.

Attractive Place Afforded for Larvae to Spin Cocoons, and Prevents Es cape of Insects Wire Screen la Used. A codling moth trap has been de vised by E. H. Slegler of the bureau of entomology, United States department of agriculture, to be used as a substi tute for what Is known as the "band Ing" method for destroying the codling moth. The banding method, in which a folded strip of burlap la wrapped around the tree trunk, demands a con siderable amount of labor, and the new, trap Is designed to minimize this. The trap affords an attractive place for the larvae to spin their cocoons, and it prevents the escape of the moths after they emerge from these. The Codling Moth Trap. trap, which consists of a burlap band covered by a strip of wire screen, is made as follows : Strips of burlap six Inches wide are folded Into three thicknesses. The loose bark from the lower branches and trunk of the tree Is removed and a strip of this burlap folded once around the trunk. It Is held In place by large tacks, which should be driven In In such a way that the edge projects about one-fourth of an Inch beyond the burlap. The burlap Is then covered by black-painted wire screen with 12 meshes to the Inch. This is cut Into strips six Inches wide and the edges of each strip are folded twice, allowing one-fourth of an Inch to each fold. The strip of screen should be long enough to allow for an overlap of three to four Inches when placed around the trunk of the tree. The wire screen Is placed over the burlap band and tacked to the tree In such a way that both the upper and lower edges fit snugly against the bark. The projecting tacks used to fasten the burlap to the tree prevent the wire pressing against the cloth. To make sure that no moths may escape through openings along the edges of the trap or along the flap, a thin coating of pitch tar may be used. This material, when heated, may be ap plied readily with a brush. It must be clearly understood that this trap la not a substitute for spray ing, but merely an additional precau tion. Neverthelessj some larvae will Invariably escape, and the offspring of these are largely responsible for the damage to the fruit crop. By the use of the codling moth trap, in addition to thorough spraying, the majority of the unpolsoned larvae may be captured and Injury by later broods will be ma terially reduced. SKIM MILK IN FEED RATION Not Valuable as Fat Producer When Fed Alone on Account of Laok of Starch and Sugar. (By JOHN C. BURNS.) Skim milk, on the basis of Its com position, is of the class known as pro tein feeds. Being too deficient in starches and sugars (carbohyrates) as well aa fat, It Is not very valuable as a fat producer when fed alone. When combined with corn or some similar feed In the proper proportions the protein of the skim milk supplies the deficiency of the protein In the corn, while the carbohydrates of the corn supply that deficiency In the skim milk, the two feed stuffs thus forming a balanced ration. This means a ra tion which contains the nutrients In proportions to meet the needs of the animal body for Its best development COOKED TOMATOES FOR HOGS Where There la an Excess Amount of Vegetable They May Be Prepared and Fed to Swine. On farms where there la an excess of tomatoes, the surplus may be cooked and fed to hogs. The hogs would not eat the green tomatoes unless cooked.

The Indian Is by no means a stupid fellow and many of them, although not signing the pledge, are In their own way protecting themselves when under the Influence of liquor. In Miami, Fla., (among other things a trading post for the Semlnoles), the story Is current that these Indians always paddle down the Miami river In pairs; that they do their trading, deposit their surplus cash with a certain merchant of tried hon esty, and then go off for a debauch, one on the first day and the other the next, the sober fellow refraining from even a drop of "firewater" until his brother has finished his fun. When both have had their day, under the guidance and protection of a sober mate, they re claim their funds from their merchant depositary and paddle away to their homes In the Everglades.

BROKEN DOWN IN HEALTH Woman Tells How $5 Worth of Pinkh am's Compound Made Her Well. YES! MAGICALLY! CORNS LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoe, that nearly killed yon before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of treexone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at ones and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so It can be lifted out, root and all, with out pain.
