Liais Factart For !*•*•> Aside from increased national in- . ri|ht factors related to tha Increasing demand fofr milk and milk products have been listed by P. H. Tracy of the University of Illinois college of agriculture. In a summary of these significant points, the Illinois dairy specialist enumerated them as follows: 1. The dietary habits of American: people are changing, and increasing emphasis is being placed on the use; of fruits, vegetables and dairy products; 2. Dairy foods, such as milk, cheese and ice cream, are convenient to use, as they can be served ' without the additional labor required for preparing the foods they replace; 3. Although the rural population has been decreasing, the urban population has been increasing ; this means that the percentage of people dependent upon others for food has increased; 4. Dairy products are popular items for serving in restaurants, hotels and other eating places; 5. Improved merchandising methods are being employed each year (use of dairy stores or bars, together with all mediums of advertising); 6. There is greater appreciation on the part of the public of the heslthfulness and nutritional value of dairy products; 7. The public has greater confidencev in the healthfulness of dairy products, which has been brought about by tha general practice of pasteurization and the more extensive city and state supervision of dairy plant operations; 8. A general improvement of quality of dairy products has been taking place over a period a( years. •i# " . "• Kathleen Norris Says: ..... .......

Mushroom There is certain death in the scaly, red - topped Amanita mushroom which meets the mushroom picker's eye. This mushroom contains a powerful poison that stops the action of the heart muscles, and a single bite may prove fatal. The amanita may be recognized not only by its scaly red top, which makes it conspicuous, but also by a ragged, paper-like collar which hangs around the stalk just below the cap, and by j the large bulbous base. The scales ! give the top the appearance of hav- j ing been sprinkled with a flaky { breakfast food. The first symptoms j of poisoning are cramps and pain in the stomach, and dizziness. Death usually comes within a half hour, to two hours, unless the poison is pumped from the stomach immediately. One one-hundredth grain of atropine is considered to be an antidote# * Lost and Found Department The U. S. army operates what is probably the world's largest "lost and found department" at Folembray, Aisne, France.

Tne depot handles all personal property which has become lost or separated from its owners in -the European theater. Some of the items were left behind in combat units by evacuated battle casualties, •ome belonged to captured or missing men, and some were lost en route during rail and truck movements. --••••- *.

TBy KATHLEEN NORRIS HERE is not a woman in the length and breadth of America, at this moment, who is not putting up with some circumstance that is almost unendurable. The world, Tor many years, has been very sick. We bore up pretty well when the fever was high and the symptoms so dangerous that it seemed as if we mightn't recover; now we're in for the trying, exacting, pettish, quarrelsome, bored, tedious time of convalescence, and it's going to take whatever we can muster of courage and character. Young, wives with small babies are absolute slaves these days, either tackling the herculean jobs of dishes and didies, playtime and mealtime, marketing and cooking, beds and dust, telephone and nose colds--all by themselves, or paying a good round dollar an hour for not too effectual help. Mothers and fathers of boys Just back from service are learning, with heartache, how deep the worldpoisoning penetrated into the young hearts, how hard it is for the boys to take up civilian Jobs, to fit themselves quietly into civilized living again. EveryosM Is Worried. Doctors are overworked to the dropping point. Business managers are harassed by the irreconcilable margins between ceiling prices and rising wages. Strikes are darkening thousands of households. Hospitals are full of physically wounded boys struggling back to life and to usefulness, and of boys more seriously wounded -- wounded in soul and mind, who in puzzlement and darkness must somehow work their way toward the light. So for goodness sake pick up your own share and carry it, and make light of it, and help us all get through! Don't complain that your husband never praises you, or that he doesn't tell you about his business, or keeps you short of money, or takes an interest in other women, or talks rudely to you when he's had a drop too much, or does--or doesnt do--a thousaftd other things that nag at you like midges all day and keep you from being happy. Be happy. Accept the dark with the bright, and rejoice if you can lift your problems up and out of the great national sum total of trouble, and establish a household financially sound, affectionate, capable, harmonious. We need a million of them--we need 10 million--we could use 40 million. If 10 million women suddenly waked up to their blessings, decided to ignore their trials oc disadvantages or privations or unsatisfied desires, decided to shoulder the load and go straight ahead uncomplaining toward the goal of prosperity and happiness that is right ahead of us--how much faster we'd reach it! v. •• Gloomy Grandma.

Cawrfwl BMyir' Oris Hone Ah«ati«npfob Buyers of ready-made dottdqfaa save themselves a lot of later grief by giving careful attention to tha kind of alterations needed and avoid, ing those that may be so difficult to lit as to go unworn. If a dress that fits throughout can't be found, it is usually best to buy one that fits the upper part of the body as the skirt is less difficult to alter. Here are some other suggestions: Remember that if seams are let out, the previous stitching line will show pn some materials such as jersey. Many misfits cannot be remedied. A harrow sleeve cap or back cannot be satisfactorily enlarged unless there are unusually ttide seam allowances because skimpy shoulder seams soon tear out. In altering, rip no more than necessary. Clip the machine stitching between places to be changed. Remove stitching carefully. Press the edges ; of opened seams, being careful not | to stretch them. Many ready-made , dresses need to have the belt short- ; ened and hem adjusted. To shorten a belt, remove the extra length from Vie' buckle end. If the hem is uneVen, first make sure that the waistline and hip line ihave been fitted properly before trying to mark the length. When mark, ing the hem, wear the kind of shoes that will usually be worn" with the dress.

LAUGH OFF TROUBLES Practically every woman in the country has to endure some difficulty. Sometimes it is a little thing, like a small, crowded apartment,, or lack of help. Or it may be a crushing burden, like a mentally or physically nek husband, who has been ruined by war. There is a tension everywhere, a sense ^of bitterness among large groups, of frustration and disilluuonment. Women who have only minor troubles should count themselves among the blessed. ( Betty Van, for example, has almost everything; a good home, loving "husband, thrqe children. Her husbands mother lives with them, and helps a lot in the kitchen and with the children. This is all splendid, except that the old lady has a sad outlook on life. She wants to tell dreary tales of sickness and death, hardships and accidents. Betty is afraid she will depress the children, and make than morbid and neurotic. Miss Norris assures Betty that there is little danger that youngsters three to five years eld will be affected by gloomy stories. The little ones cannot understand, and wouldnt care if they could. At that age they are interested only in themselves. On the other hand, they will benefit greatly by their grandmother's care and instruction. Betty is fortunate to have such a willing and able helper, adds Miss Norris.

She wants to talk of sick-beds and sorrows and what happened to her friends in the way of sudden death and dreadful accident, and every morning she sighs and reads Van the names in the list of deaths. Do you suppose my children will catch this dismal outlook; I am naturally cheerful and optimistic, and so is Van, but ForretiTnes I'm afraid she will pull us all down to her level. And yet it would be frightfully hard to tell Granny that we wanted her to live elsewhere." • • • No, Betty, it won't affect the children, and it's for you rather to cheer the old girl up with attentive interest in her sad tales, and hopeful comment wherever you can put it in. You have in her a devoted cook and nurse, one to whom the children's safety is dearer even than to you, and any young mother you know would envy you. We had a nurse years ago who used to take us to the nearby graveyard and let us play there, month out and in, while she worked on a special shroud that she was eventually to wear, and that .was supposed to have some mystic merit. We took deep interest in the shroud and loved the gravestones where we played house, ship pirates, circus and everything else that suggested life and youth. It's a lucky man who has his mother under his roof, living in harmony with his wife, and keeping a loving watch on his children. Hold on to your luck!
