The amendment to the regulations governing meat inspection by the department was passed by congress <Mi July 24, with an appropriation of $100,000 to carry on the work during e "fecal year ending June 30. 1920. • *' "While it is expected that as a result of this amendment Inferior horses throughout the country will be slaughtered for human food, It will open a Market especially for the small horses--many of them wild--on the western ;V*ifcngc.

Philatelists Swindled by German Stamp Speculator; Fake Esthonian Stickers "A German citizen, who knows how eager the world's collectors are to obtain the stamps of the countries of the new Europe, has succeeded In pulling the wool over the eyes of philatelists, many of whom have paid as high as $30 for a set of Esthonian stamps which have proven to be fakes,'" writes Kent B. Stiles In the stamp department of Boys' Life. "When the Esths proclaimed their land an Independent republic on the day on which the armistice was signed, last November, the German citizen was living at Reval, where the proclamation was issued. He hurried to a post office and purchased stocks of the stamps which the German occupation authorities had forced the people of this former section of old Russia to use during the days of the invasion by the German troops. These stamps are Germany's own 'woman In armor' designed labels, but with the surcharge 'Postbegiet Ob. Ost.' upon them. "These occupation stamps the German citizen took with him into Germany, and upon them he had overprinted the inscription 'Eestl.' meaning 'Esthonia.' These were then allowed to circulate among stamp dealers. It was supposed that they had been legitimately issued by the Esthonian government, and they were soon regarded as being amon^ the more valuable stamps of Europe's reconstruction period."

Fruits and Vegetables Should Not Be Wasted A pantry well filled with homecanned and otherwise preserved fruits and vegetables means more varied, attractive and wholesome diet during the winter months, as well as cheaper living. Don't let any vegetables go to waste. It will be wise economy to store all you can, dry, pickle or brine. A well-ventilated cellar is a convenient storage place. If there Is no available space there an outdoor pit storage Is satisfactory. Select a welldrained spot, pile the vegetables In a shallow trench, covgr with straw, then a layer of dirt, etc., to protect from freezing, and provide ventilation at the top. ; Fly Grows Rapidly. Tifte common house fly becomes fail grown in about four weeks after birth. Daily Optimistic Thought ft is ourselves alone that make OUT days lucky or unlucky^ (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) When the retail meat dealer buys from the wholesaler, he does noli depend altogether on the wholesale firm's honesty and good faith to secure the grade of meat he wants for his trade. Instead, keeping in mind certain points and characteristics which determine grades of beef, the retailer, before he buys and pays for it, decides for himself whether he has been given what he ordered. The housekeeper should be quite as familiar as the butcher with the various grades of beef. Few housekeepers, however, have this knowledge. Even those women who pride themselves that "cotton mixed" Is not sold .them for linen, buy beef, week after week, year after year, and depend altogether on their butcher's honesty. Not until it is cooked and served do they know whether they have been given the "choice" meat they asked and paid the price for, or only that of "medium" or "common" quality. Linen buying is only occasional, but meat buying is dally, and every woman should be familiar with the different grades of meat. Toward this end the bureau of markets, United States department of agriculture, has defined the four grades of beef. How Beef Is Usually Graded. *he "choice" grade of beef denotes the best quality usually found in the markets. Only a limited amount of what is known as "prime" beef is offered in most markets. This grade Is usually offered in limited quantities during the Christmas or holiday seasons, and Immediately following- livestock shows. "Choice" beef has a moderately even covering of fat on the outer surfaces. This fat is smooth in appearance and white in color, but is not in excessive amounts. The color of the lean meat Is light red, with traces of fat distributed through the Q5 iS&k lean on all cuts, which are taken from the loins, ribs and some parts of the round. Choice meat is firm to the touch and of fine grain. There must be no watery appearance on the freshly cut surfaces. The "good" grade of beef is next in quality to "choice" and may differ slightly in all points or correspond in some points to "choice" and dlfTer materially in others. The covering of fat is not so smooth and uniform, but must be white in color and dry in appearance. The color of the lean meat in this grade also varies slightly and may be of darker hue than the "choice" grade, but It Is not dark. "Good" beef Is. of smooth grain and has traces of fat, which is white or creamy in color, distributed through the lean. Most Beef Is "Medium." The bulk of the beef offered for sale In most markets is of "medium" grade. In this there is usually very little and often no covering of outside fat except on the loin and rib cuts. The fat is not evenly distributed. During the summer and fall months "medium" grade beef has a watery appearance and the color of the lean meat varies considerably, but Is usually dark, even when freshly cut. "Medium" beef has a tendency to turn still darker very quickly after being cut. The grain Is coarse and not uniform, and there are no traces of fat distributed through the lean. The "common" grade is the lowest quality of beef offered for sale in a fresh condition to the trade. One of its prominent features Is the high percentage of bone in proportion to the meat. There is only a slight covering of outside fat on the rib and loin cuts. "Common" beef has a flabby appearance, is dark In color, and coarse in grain. A few traces of fat may be discerned, but they usually are of a yellow color and are unevenly dis- > tributed. They were talking about pies and discussing which was the best, and, what we gathered from the cheerful controversy, all were the best. The person who stood up for the good old apple pie was Just as eloquent In his references to the peach or pumpkin pie. In fact, ^ach person would hurry through the praise of one kind of pie in order to champion another, which convinced us that of all the varieties of food in this world the pie Is the blessedest Sometimes you will find a man who doesn't eat pie, but watch him. Pie is a remedy for many distempers. We one time cured a ferocious sick headache with a quarter of mince pie, and that, too, on the advice of a physician. One of the party never heard of a mulberry ftle, and what a barren life she mnst have led. We are through With the cherry pie era and with what Joy it has filled the world! We rme to the berry era, and first of all there Is the huckleberry pie, which berry has rescued from sunshine and soil all the grace of the earth. If a man does not like a huckleberry pie, it is because the pie or himself has not been well made. The black raspberry pie stands away ufc on the snowy peaks of perfection and for picnic purposes it is unparalleled. When we eat raspberry pie In the woods we feel that the Dryads are feeding us from their Illy white hands. There are other glorious pies, of course, but we must have room to say that the glory of a pie is In the grace and charm of the cook. The pastry depends upon her temper, and the pastry Is three-fourths of a pie. If we were going to get married again, we #ouId arrange a pastry-making contest, and the damsel that made the best pastry we would marry--if wo could.--Ohio State Journal.

British Maidens Sigh in Vain for Husbands While Living Cost Grows Higher ; Shortage of men and the high cost jSf loving are responsible for the husbandless plight of at least 2,000,000 British maidens. The swain finds that diamonds have Advanced 75 per cent. Wedding rings have Increased in price on almost the same ratio as engagement rings. What IS still more ominous for the man who IS "Inclined to become a husband is the fact that the average British maiden «*ts more than she did before the war. jy War work encouraged large appe- •' tttes, but long endurance of bully-beef hashes and stews and enforced acquaintance with Irish and other varieties of stews have made those formerly delectable dishes somewhat unpalatable to the maiden who. during the tbue the Germans were being whipped. • was stimulating her energies with plain "grub." i v : ^ bo* of good chocolates that used eost 50 cents now fetches $1.25 to $1.50 a pound. In the frowsiest movie theater they get 60 cents for a fairly good seat that formerly was sold for 25 cents. When It comes to after-marriage expenses the intended husband finds that household furniture has gone up at least 800 per cent. A piano costs $300 or $600. A respectable baby carriage sells for $40 to 8*50. Shoes are $12 to $15 a pair. As to rent, if a man cannot buy furniture at its present exorbitant price he must pay $40 to $60 a week for a sujall furnished flat. The Future. **Of course, we must think about thr' future." "Yes," agreed Senator Sorghum "But each man should honestly try to do his own thinking. Too many of us are satisfied to consult a fortune teller." (Prepared by the United States Departmerit of Agriculture.) Before buying any household device, decide whether it will pay for itself In the long run by saving time and jstrength or wear and tear, or if it will jmake some especially disagreeable task ; less unpleasant. Devices which can be used for many purposes are seldom employed by the housekeeper for more than one, and often they are more cumbersome to handle and less easily cleaned. ^ Long handles on brooms, brushes, and dustpans save the back, the office of home economics kitchen of the department of agriculture suggests. • cleaning cloth should be soft and loosely woven, so that It will take up dirt easily and itself be easy to clean. A duster takes up dirt better if few drops of water or oil are sprinkled on it. Beware of too much moisture or oil, for it leaves streaks. For wiping very dirty places use soft paper, cotton waste, or rags, which may be thrown away. Keep the cleaning things together in a convenient place. Put them away clean. Hang brushes, mops and brooms when not in use. Clean string mops by shaking over a diamp newspaper or a can. Never shake in the open air unless you are sure the dirt will not trouble you or your neighbors. Wash occasionally In hot water with washing soda or soap and dry quickly. Sprinkle a few drops of oil on the oil mops after cleaning. Clean carpet sweepers frequently. Empty the box on damp newspaper and use old scissors and buttonhook or coarse comb, to remove the hairs and dirt on the brushes. Keep the beaiv ings oiled. HOUSE CLEANING SIMPLIFIED Easier to Keep Dirt From Walks, Steps and Porches Than to Clean Rugs and Carpets. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Keeping the dirt out of the house as far as possible is the first step in simplifying house cleaning. It is easier to keep walks, steps, porches, and sills clean than to remove the dirt from rugs and floors after it has been tracked inside the house. Clean shoes and rubbers mean less dirt for the housekeeper to combat. When cleaning, remove the dust thoroughly. Bight methods mean removing, not scattering the dust about to settle again. Do the heavy cleaning a little at a time and avoid the spring and fall house cleaning. Use water and cleaning agents sparingly. Too much of either Injures wood and all finishes as well as weakening glue, paste, and cement Always nib until dry the surface which has been dampened. Train the family to leave things in place and in good condition. Good habits are worth cultivating, and this one also simplifies the work of the housekeeper. Intoxicating Principles of Powerful Nareotic, "Cohoba," Remain < Mystery to Chemists. 4 When Columbus arrived at the island of Haiti he and his followers were Interested to observe a curious practice of the natives, who were accustomed on ceremonial occasions to make usfe of a narcotic snuff productive of a sort of hypnotic state, with vision supposed to be supernatural. The tribal wizards, or priests, while under the influence of the drug, were accustomed to hold communication with unseen powers, and their mutterlngs were construed as prophecies and revelations of hidden things. The snulf was called "cohoba." and, in the form of a fine powder, was Inhaled through a forked wooden tube, the forks being Inserted in the nostrils and the lower end of the tube buried in a little heap of the snuff, which was held on a tray of carved wood. Sometimes large snail shells were used for snuff boxes. The mimosa-like tree from which the snuff is obtained Is plentiful along the banks of the Orinoco and the Amazon. It grows In Haiti, Porto Rico and other islands of the Antilles. The seeds yielded by Its pods are dried, roasted and ground to powder, which is sometimes mixed with lime from calcined snail shell. Only recently has this tree been Identified by Dr. W. E. Safford of the government plant bureau ap the source of the snuff, the origin of which has hitherto been a puzzle. The chemical properties of the drug are still unknown and so its intoxicating principle remains a mystery. r' ,, SHE WAS TROUBLED, Mrs. A.--Are you troubled muoh is your neighborhood with borrow* tag, Mrs. T.--Yes, a rood deal.

We dived, looped, corkscrewed till our senses were numbed. I felt a sharp pain in my right foot a dull weight in my side--I was falling, falling-- and knew no more till I found myself lying on the ground badly smashed some hours later."

Paying the War Cost Referring to the cost of th« war. Secretary of War Baker told the finance committee of the senate and house that the total outgo In round numbers would be $30,000,000,000; but $9,000,000,000 of this was loans to our allies. Nearly a third of the net cost1 has already been paid out of money raised by taxation. The other twothirds was obtained from the five Liberty loans. If we pay a billion a year, besides Interest, we can clear off the war cost In about twenty-one years. Big Contribution to War. One of the most striking contributions of the United States to the war was the enormous quantity of smokeless powder high explosives produced, says the Scientific American. From April 1, 1917, to November 11, 1918, we produced 632 million pounds of smokeless powder, which was almost exactly equal to the combined output of Prance and Great Britain. Annapolis Uniform.
