Use Milk, but Save It.
How can the consumer help the milk
supply? By Judicious use, good care,
and by utilizing It In all Its forms.
That half cupful of milk which was
poured Into the sink today because It
was allowed to sour It would have
made a substantial amount of cottage
cheese or could have been used In
cooking.
In many households quite a little
milk Is wasted left uncovered In
glasses regarded useless because the
cream has been skimmed off, allowed
to sour poureu down tne slnu or
thrown away. Half a cupful of milk
whole, skimmed or sour seemingly a
trifling matter, hardly worth the trou
blc to keep or use.
But If every one of the 20,000,000
homes should waste on the average
one-mur cupim daily, it would mean
2,500,000 quarts daily for the country
012,500.000 quarts a year the total
product of more than -100.C00 cows. It
takes a lot of grass and grain to make
that much milk and an army of peo
ple to produce and deliver It. Maybe
this estimate is too high. Suppose that
one-half cupful is wasted in only one
out of 100 homes. The waste which
this would make Is still intolerable
when milk is so nutritious, when skim
milk can be used In making such
wholesome soups nnd cerenl dishes,
when sour milk can he used In bread
making or for cottage cheese.
That we have the physical resources

hours by an unusual amount of work,
With them was Jewell.
"There was an Insistent knock at
the door nt 8:30. Wo admitted n man
who covered us with a revolver, no

other four with cord which ho
brought. Then he tied mo, stuffed
tho currency In the vault In hlrf
pockets and turned toward the door.
"You recognize him, don't you?'
Winters asked me.
"I said I did.
'"You know me, do you?' cried tho
robber.
'"I sure do, you scoundrel,' replied
Winters."
The robber stopped short, hesitated,
then sprang nt the helpless men and
swung tho hnndax which he carried.
Wornnll, the Inst one struck, wns
forced to see his companions battered
anil nncKou to death without any
chnnco for resistance.

Teuton Army Faces Crisis.
London, Jan. 1.1. Tho fate that be
fell Napoleon's grand army In tho
frozen steppes of Russln threntens to
overwhelm the Teuton Invaders In
the mountains of Italy. The situation
at this time Is critical. The Invaders
stand In tho snow-choked mountains
between tho I'Inve river nnd tho
Aslago plateau, with their hands lit
erally tied behind their barks. They
are unable to move forward becauso
their ammunition has failed them, un
able to retreat without Inviting dis

ter of starvation creep nearer nnd
nearer as the hours go by, and their
supply trains still remnln stalled on
the Impassable Alps.
