Useful as Animal Feeding— Serves Best Use as Food. Washington, D. C., Oct. 1 Although skim milk is recognized as having great value in feeding animals, the Unted States Department of Agriculture points out that its value as human , food should be kept in mind. By sub- | stituting grain, green feed, buttermilk, and whey in animal feeding, much skim milk may be left for human use as a beverage, in cooking, condensing, ( or for making cottage cheese. Only the surplus of this valuable human , food should be fed to stock. While skim milk is good for stock, the fact remains that its highest efficiency can not be had through turning it into meat. Skim milk Is used most economically in animal production when fed to hogs, yet it takes 20 pounds when fed alone to produce 1 ' pound of pork. The same quantity will make 3 pounds of cottage cheese. In addition, cottage cheese contains 1% times as much protein and onethird as much energy as pork, so that I the skim milk in the cheese form gives ( quite as much energy and 4% times as much protein as it would if convertJed into ham or bacon.

I Even at the highest prices recently 'paid for hogs, skim milk fed to them ’ is worth not more than 1 cent a pound. . Yet 1 cent a pound or approximately, ; l cent a Pint. very ,or nny human food, and particularly for a food so high in nutritive value as skint milk. k -O - 1 „ WANT TO SELL CANNED GOODb For persons having surplus canned | good sto be disposed of, the following ! letter received l y County Agent Over- . ton will probably be of interest. "The Food Conservation Headquart-1 : ers of this city will open a clearing house for canned goods and food pro-. • duets of all descriptions on October 8 | 1 We are asking your support and io. ’ circulate In your territory the Infor i ■ mation to the farmer that he can con ’ sign his surplus of canned goods or ! food products of any description 'o this clearing house, 229 North Pennsylvania street, and the same will be disposed of to the consumer and account sales rendered when goods are sold, A charge of 10 per cent to cover : the cost of handling will he made and deducted from the account sales. If possible, mail headquarters a list of producers who have a surplus to offer for sale in this city. Thanking you in advance for your prompt attention to the same, we remain Very truly yours. MRS. CARL G. FISHER.

Chairman. LOOK FOR THE “L. W." ON DOLLAR BILLS. After playing the role of Lola Brandt in “The Dollar and the Law," the fivepart Vitagraph Blue Ribbon Feature written by Irvin S. Cobb and directed by Wilfrid North which is the attraction at the Crystal theatre tonight, Miss Lillian Walker decided to make the part come true. In the production she marks her initials upon a dollar bill, which she sends on its travels by passing it to a delivery man in exchange for goods. She wants to see whether the bill will ever return to her and in the end it does, saving an innocent man from being convicted of crime. This incident in the picture awakened wthin Miss Walker a desire to see whether a bill would really return to her. She therefore placed the initials “L. W. "in scarlet ink in the upper left-hand corner of a bill and gave it in exchange for a box of candyin one of New York's confectioners. She has every belief that it will return to her and each bill that comes into her possession is examined minutely. SOLDIERS' BOARD SBOO,OOO Per Dav, Says Chas. P. Pack, at Food Conference. Philadelphia, Oct. I—" War1 —"War has made Uncle Sam the biggest buyer of food in this country and the board bill for his soldiers will be SBOO,OOO a day.” Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, of Washington today told the food conference of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. We are to have two million men ■ under arms shortly according to the best reports. At forty cents a day it will be seen what that means. True these men ate before becoming soldiers to make the world safe for democracy. They doubtless ate more than forty cents worth daily which Uncle Sam figures is the cost per man. But you must remember that these men have suddenly become nonproducers and they must be fed. The army is making great plans for camouflage to deceive the eyes of the enemy but you cannot deceive a soldier's stomach. He must have real food. I am told that the reserve stock of foodstuffs at each camp is $125,000, and there are 33 camps in the country today. That means that food valued at $4,125,000 is taken out of the regulai channels of trade. These figures give but an idea of the need of food ; conservation on the part of the indi- ' vidual at this time. The National ■ Emergency Food Garden Commission , urges every soldier of the soil to at ■ i once promote himself to a Colonel of ~ Conservation and store and can food i as never before. i j "Germany reports that its war gar- , dens produced more this year than ' any previous year since the war startThis shows the value of experi- | ence. We have had one year's experience and have raised $350,000,009 - J worth of produce in our war gardens. ;, Next year we will do even better. We t will then have more war gardens and t the average product of each will i; pJ ) larger. Housewives of this country I, this year have preserved and canned t ( at least 460.000.000 jars of vegetables and fruits. Next year profiting hy J t their experience of this y Par they win • can. I believe, millions more, and more t ( will be needed, for I wish to emph a . vsize now the fact that there will be a < greater demand for food exportation next year than there has eved been before, and we must fill this demand."

— -r—- - »■ i*«ii I iMcomaffl Ruddy Cheeks—Sparkling Ey e3 —Most Women Can Have Says Dr. Edwards, a Well-Known Ohio Physician Dr. F. M. Edwards for 17 years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ailments. During these years he gave t > his patienti a prescription made of a few well-known vegetable ingredients mixe j with olive oil, naming them Dr. Edward ’ Olive Tablets. You will know them by their olive color. 1 These tablets are wonder-workers on th s liver and bowels, which cause a normj action, carrying off the waste and poison- ! ous matter in one’s system. I If you have a pale face, sallow look, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, headaches, a I listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of Dr. I Edwards’ Olive Tablets nightly for a time and note the pleasing results. Thousands of women as well as men take Dr. Edwards’Olive Tablets— the suecessful substitute for calomel—now and then just to keep in the pink of condition, 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.
