Milk Cheaper Than Meat.
Milk is a cheaper food than meat,
according to the chemistry department
of the Nebraska Experiment Station.
For a family of limited means, the
motto might well be, “Buy 3 quarts of
milk a day before you buy any meat.”
This amout of milk will provide the
necessary animal protein for a family
of five persons, and no meat need be
provided for the needs of the body.
The additional protein required may
be supplied in the form of vegetables
and cereals.

Making the Horse Pay Board.
The board bill for the average work
horse in Nebraska last year was $74,
according to records kept by many
farmers of the State (compiled by the
farm management department of the
College of Agriculture). This year
feeds are much higher, and “Old Bill”
must be kept busy on profitable work
a large part of the 366 days a year if
he is to return a profit. For this
reason, it is necessary that a farmer
have no more horses than he really
needs to take care of his work.
“Canning” Eggs.
Many persons use fresh eggs for
baking, the preserved eggs are just as
good, says the poultry section of the
College of Agriculture. In fact, pre
served egg is so nearly like the fresh
egg that it is hard to distinguish them
after they have been cooked.
Eggs may be preserved by storing
them in a solution of 9 quarts of water
to 1 of commercial water glass, or by
immersing them in a solution of 1
pound of air-slacked lime to 5 gallons
of water. They may be stored in these
solutions in tin candy pails, labeled,
and put with other foods without fur
ther attention. They may be removed
from the solution as they are needed,
and fresh eggi may be added at any
time.

Cabbage Aphids.
Cabbage aphids, or plant lice which
infest the cabbage, are causing con
siderable damage to cabbage in Ne
braska, according to reports received
by the department of entomology of
the College of Agriculture. Experi
ments conducted by this department
show that this pest may be controlled
by the application of a kerosene emul
sion prepared as follows: Shave Mi
pound of laundr, soap and dissolve it
in 1 gallon of hot water, remove from
the lire, add 2 gallons of kerosene,
agitate violently for several minutes
until a smooth cream-like emulsion is
formed without any free oil. Add
water to make 50 gallons of liquid,
and the spray is then ready for use.
Further information about the control
of this pest as well as other garden
pests will be sent upon application to
the entomology department, University
Farm, Lincoln.
Community Drying Plant.
The first community drying plant
ever established in Nebraska, and so
far as is known the first in the United
States, began operation in North
Lincoln last week. Fifty-seven
families were represented at meetings
of the North Lincoln Community Club
when the project was undertaken.
This plant is known as the Lincoln
Rotary Club Community Drier, as the
Lincoln Rotary Club provides the
money (about $150) for its construct
ion. It was built by the Agricultural
Experiment Service, which is helping
the Community Club operate it.
Families bring their fruits and vege
tables to the church in which the
drier is located, prepare their pro
ducts with utensils and machinery
provided for that purpose, place them
in the drier, and return 24 hours later
to take away the fully-dried product.
Electricity consumed by the big elec
tric fan costs 1(4 cents an hour, 120
trays of product being dried every 24
hours.
Communities interested in this plan
may secure further information upon
application to the Extension Service,
University Farm, Lincoln. The Ex
tension Service will be glad to aid in
the construction and operation of
other plants.

BE RID OF THAT ACHE.
If you arc a sufferer with lame
back, backache, dizziness, nervousness
and kidney disorders, why don’t you
try the remedy that your own neigh
bors recommend ?
Mrs. E. B. Jones, O’Neill, says:
“There was a dull, heavy ache and
stiffness in my back. When sitting
still, I could stand it, but when I
went to get up, I had to pull myself
up, and then I could hardly bear the
knifelike pains it caused. To even
bend a little or walk around, hurt me.
I knew my kidneys were causing my
suffering, because they acted too often.
The kidney secretions were scanty.
Doan’s Kidney Pills relieved me
greatly. On two occasions since I
have felt I needed them and they have
done just as good work as ever.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Jones had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Bowel Complaints in India.
In a lecture at one of the Des
Moines, Iowa, churches a missionary
from India told of going into the in
terior of India, where he was taken
sick, that he had a bottle of Cham
berlain’s Cholic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy with him and believed that it
saved his life. This remedy is used
successfully in India both as a pre
ventative and cure for cholera. You
may know from this that it can. be de
pended upon for the milder forms of
bowel complaint that occur in this
country. Obtainable everywhere. 52-4

We Must Stand
Behind the Mnn
Behind the Gun
Some cr.e has said it is nothing but give, give, give, all the time.
Well mister, how about this? Are you giving yourself for the defense cf
_ •
your country? That is just what your neighbor’s boy is doing or must do.
Then how about you? Can any other thing you can give even up with what
that boy has got to do? Answer that.
Some one else says so and so does not give as much as he should or as much
in proportion as you are asking of me. Granted that this is correct, that is
going to be the other fellow’s fault, and not yours. There is no possible
argument that will justify you in not giving what you should and not doing
your whole duty because the other fellow don’t do his.
Again some one asks what is going to be done with all this money. A
natural question, for when we begin to think in millions and billions the most
of us are lost. The aswer to that is that you must have confidence in your
government, which is behind this Red Cross Society and is seeing to it that
this money goes where it is most needed. If we have no confidence in our
own country then we are all lost.
Another fellow says business is too poor, or the prospect is not good
enough for a crop, I can’t afford to give. Well, even if this is true are you
doing what you should do? How about the man or boy who joins the colors
and goes to the battlefields of Europe to save YOUR NATION? Can he
■ afford to give his time? Can he afford to run the risk of being killed, or the
greater risk of being maimed and made useless the balance of his life? Of
course not, but he is doing it just the same, in most cases willingly, but
whether willingly or not, he has got to do it. j,i
11 And so on down the line there are excuses and excuses, but no good
reason why ninety-nine per cent of this rich community should not give all
| the time, all the money and all the support we have in this crisis of our
country.
THIS IS CERTAINLY TRUE—THAT WE MUST GIVE, GIVE, GIVE
thousands and millions to fight this war for freedom. WE MUST GIVE
OUR HARD EARNED DOLLARS and we must if necessary mortgage the
future dollars that are to be earned if we are to save this, our own country,
| and other free countries from being wiped off the map.
p Just ask yourself this question: “What will it cost me in Freedom, in {
Happiness, and last in Money and Property if Germany wins this war?”
THEN JUST GIVE UNTIL IT HURTS.

How the Bell Telephone l
System Spends the Money |
Received From the Public
*
The following figures are taken from the an
nual report of the American Telephone and t
Telegraph Company and Associated Companies, f
or so-called Bell Telephone System.
Of each dollar received for the sale of ser
vice by the Bell System, 46% cents are paid in
wages to employees, and 33% cents are spent
for repairs and up-keep of the equipment, for
taxes, incidental expenses and employees’ wel
fare work, and 20 cents are paid to holders of
Bell Telephone securities.
This 20 cents paid in interest and divi
dends is less than 6 per cent return on the
money, since $4 are invested in property for
each $1 in gross revenue received each year.
Fair Dividends Are Enough
In order to get additional money for exten
sions and improvements in our equipment it is
essential that the public, who are our stock
holders, have faith in our securities and confi- V
dence that they will receive a fair return on
their investment.
During the past three years the cost of tele
phone equipment has increased, on the average
to nearly double the former price. ’ ^
In spite of the increased cost of operation,
few telephone rates have been increased; al
though there are few business enterprises in
which the profit has been as small as in the tele
phone industry.
