SEEKS WAYS TO
Baroness Bertha von Suttner of
Vienna, famous among other things
because it was she who inspired the
founding of tho Nobel prizes, Is in
America on n mission unlquo among
those undertaken by women of tho Old
World among tho women of the New.
She Is hero to tell her. sisters what
she knows of the horrors of war and
to appeal to the women of tho United
States to do their utmost toward the
aboilltion of war.
The campaign for peace undertaken
last spring by Baron d'Kstournelles do
Constant of France was noteworthy.
For three monthB Baron d'Estour
nelles, himself a Nobel prizo winner,
went through the country, and every
where his arguments were heard with
Interest. So also in the case of Count
Albert Apponyl people crowded to
hear what the Hungarian parliamen
tarian bad to say about tho cost of
armed peaco now prevailing in Europe.
But, much as these advocates for
peace accomplished here, there stood arrayed against them continually the
plea of necessity, the plea that ever Increasing armaments were an absolute
essential. Neither tho Frenchman nor tho Hungarian cared to depart from
parliamentary usages, and for this reason they permitted their arguments to
go before the people exactly for what they were worth.
The Baroness von Suttner comes to this country to try different tactics.
Sho may agree with her fellow workers in Europe that the nations aro bur
dened with armaments to the breaking point, that tho patience of the people
themselves is well nigh exhausted, that the times portend that conditions
cannot continue as at present; but she has something more effective at her
command than International law and parliamentary argument. Her most ef
fective appeal will bo to sentiment. As one who knows from experience tho
horrors of war, tho Baroness von Suttner will bo able to make this appeal
effectively.

PAINTINGS of beauties of other
days have- been looked to, to
furnish inspiration for midsum
mer millinery of today. Tho
Gainsborough and Rembrandt hats fol
low their models almost exactly ns to
lino and poise, only depnrting from
them In composition and trimming.
Even here it Is tho necessity for va
riety that brings into use new orna
ments and fashionable feathers or
flowers. No ono can fall to appreciate
tho beauty of this artistic hcadwear,
and, for tho young woman who can
carry it off (that 1b, drcsa In keeping
and look after the carriage of her fig
ure) there is nothing to compare to it
for distinction.
Two of tho finest examples of these
picturesque styles aro illustrated here.
They are both black hatB with white
trimming. This combination always is
AN 0STEMD 8AYWNG SUIT

The suit in the photograph is very
chic and bewitching. It Is of white
Canton crepe and waterproof. Tho
skirt is made fuller at the bottom so
as to enable the wearer to swim with
ease. Bluo and white silk baB been
let in tho gores.
Corsets for Fall.
Tho widespread discussion of panler
styles 13 doubtless responsible for tho
reports regarding a change In corset
lines, says the Dry Goods Economist.
There Is no causo for alarm, however,
as tho straight line still dominates
both In costumes and in corsets. Wo
shall have- many panicrs, to bo sure,
but they aro modified styles with no
fullness to distend the hip line.
Belts also will be widely used, but
they will not draw In the waists. In
fact, they are vholly ornamental and
UBCd In quite loose effect.
"Punch Work."
In all lines of embroidery work that
is known ns "punch work" still leads.
For tho benefit of the uninitiated it
it might bo explained that tho word
"punch" la used for tho reason that
the open weave which Is characteris
tic of tho material employed provides
a llboral space for a needlo to punch
Itself between tho threads nnd carry
the embroidering material with It.

that it rolls under to tho head slzo.
Black velvet ribbon and a tuft of
black and whlto plumes afford Its
trimming. It is to bo worn with a de
cided tilt, never any less than that
shown In the picture.
The wide brimmed hat of black lace
follows Its original model loss closely,
but is not difficult to recognize. Tho
brim is outlined with whlto crystal
beads and the cockade of whlto os

bochon mndo of the sama kind of
beads. The brim is Indented at tho

here. It widens toward tho back. This
hat may be worn with a much more
decided tilt by girls who aro tall and

WAYS OF HOLDING SUNSHADE
Gracefulness In This Respect Adds
Much Charm to the General
Appearance.
The sunshade seems to bo a rock
upon which many a woman's good
tnnto hopelessly founders. Not only
does one often sco uncomfortable color
mixtures, but quite ns often the sun
shade Ib held so ungracefully that the
whole effect Is awkward nnd clumsy.
There ought to bo classes on "How to
Hold the Sunshnde," and nine women
out of ten would benefit from the les
sons, but aB no enterprising individual
has originated tha Idea, I can only
recommend a Httlo practice before a
long mirror. Also tako note of the
following: (1) See that you do not
grasp tho handle as if it were an Im
plement of war. (2) Do not hold it
too near the center of tho handle nor
too near tho tip both these faults are
very common, and give a most awk
ward appearance. (3) Don't use it as
a walking stick, nor, if it has a crook
handle, hang it on ycur arm. (4) Hold
it lightly and easily a Httlo distance
from tho top of the handle and at a
slightly slanting angle.
Lovely Footgear.
Footgear, for those who can utford
the most expensive, la more thau beau
tiful, and tho fancy now Is for kid
instead of for suedo footgear, and the
colors, If they do not match the dress,
harmonlzo with tho bat or with the
lining of tho coat.
Naturally, tho beauty of such foot
gear must bo matched by exceedingly
lovely hosiery, made of silk inset with
lace, and somo of It Is actually traced
with millinery diamonds or colored
gems to harmonlzo with the color of
tha evening gown. Shoes outlined
with Jewels aro nn exquisite resource
for full dress wear.
New Hair Bands.
Hair bandB are still fashionable and.
are made of imitation pearls, tinsel,
crystal beads, and mallne. New ones,
include a stiff little brush of spun
glass, but it did not gain favor, for the
feminine eyes look for more than
sparklo In an ornament, and theso had
no other recommendation than their
glitter.
Afghan for Baby's Carriage.
A protty summer afgban for the
baby's carriage Is made of strips of
handkerchief linen held together with
Inch nnd a half wldo cluny lace, which;
aloo edges tho cover. This Is lined,
with pink or blue ollk and ornament
ed on the outsldo with n largo satin
bow. This makes a dainty protco
tlon and Is not heating.
GOOD PLAN FOR DAIRY HOUSE
Demand Created by Recent Develop
ments for Building Fulfilling Sani
tary Requirements.
(ltv K. KKI.l.Y mill K. K. PA11KH.)
Recent developments In dairying
tmvo causal a largo demand for a
ilnlry house which will fulllll sanitary
requirements and at the samo tlmo ho
practical and inexpensive. For those
who to striving to Improve tho qual
ity of their products, such n building
Is nn nbsoluto necessity. Milk which
Is poured or ..rained In tho barn, or
allowed to stand there, Is npt to be

"JrftVN'
.iTS'SWjVwr
Inexpensive, Sanitary Dairy House,
contaminated by germs and to nbsorb
stable odors. Tho best practice Is to
remove the milk to the dairy houuu as
Boon ns each cow is milked. Milk
should bo cooled Immediately, so tho
dairy house should bo provided with
proper facilities for this purpose.
Whllo tho dairy houso should bo
conveniently located so Hint tho milk
ers do not have a long walk from tho
barn, it must bo so placed that it Is
frco from contaminating surroundings.
It should bo built on a well-drained
spot, and tho drainage of tho dairy
houso itself should bo carried well
away from tho building. If posslblo
tho ground should slopo from the
dairy house toward tho barn, rather
than from tho barn toward tho dairy
house.
Tho principal purpose In building n
dairy house is to provide a place
where dairy products may bo handled
apart from everything else To carry
out this Idea It Is nccessnry to divide
the interior of the building so that
utcnBlls will not have to bo wnshed
in tho samo room where tho milk Is
handled. Thorough cleanliness must
always bo kept In mind; therefore
thero should be no unnecessary ledge's
or rough surfaces InBlde the building,
so that It can be quickly and thor
oughly cleaned. Ventilators are neces
sary to keep the air In tho milk room
fresh and free from musty nnd undo
slrablo odors, and to carry oft steam
from the wash room. Windows aro of
prlmo Importance, aB they let in fresh
air and sunlight, and facilitate work.
In summer the doors and wlndowa
should bo screened to keep out files
and other Insects.
It Is impcratlvo that thero should
be a plentiful supply of cold, running
water at tho dnlry house. If It Ib not
posslblo to hnvo a regular water sys
tem, tho supply may bo piped from an
elevated tank fed by a hydraulic ram,
engine, windmill or hand pump.
For the proper sterilization of uten
sils an abundance of steam or hot wa-

ter is neded. A pall or can may bo
clean to the eye and yet may carry
numberless germs which will hasten
the souring of the milk, cause bad
flavor In butter or cheese, or spread
contagion. After utensils are washed
clean they should bo either scalded
with boiling water or steumed.
Tho dairy houso should bo so built
that labor Is economized to the great
est extent. To do this tho building
must be arranged so that unnecessary
steps will be avoided.
Rations for Dairy Cattle.
The following general facts should
be observed in making up tho ration
for a dairy cow. A cow should bo fed
nil that fehe will eat and digest well,
giving duo consideration to tho cost,
digestibility and composition of the
food fed. Tho more palatablo tho food
tho greater quantity a cow will con
sume. Variety often Increases por
tability. A part of tho ration should bo succu
lent in nature, as such food stimulates
action in tho intestinal tract, which
stimulates vigor, thrift and health In
the animal. Another Important part
of tho food supply Ib water. Too often
this is not given proper consideration,
Silo and tha Dairy,
The careful farmer who gives his
personal attention to the making and
feeding of silage and Is not satisfied
with the result is yet to be heard
from. Tbo silo seems to bo edging
mighty near the cornorstono of suc
cessful dairying.
Do the Best We Can.
Tho best cows are nono too good
when measured by their profits, but
all of us cannot afford to go out and
buy the best; henco wo should try
and do the best we can with those
we bavo until we can secure better,

CARE OF MILK III THE HOM0

Large Numbers It Is Not Safe
for the Children,
Milk delivered in the cities In the
summer months frequently coiitalun

It Is not a safe food for children, espe
cially for Infants whoso food couslstn

the nutiltlvo vnlun of tho milk. Thli
may ho accomplished In tho homo bj
tho use of a slmplo ImpiovlBcd outfit.
Milk Is most conveniently pasteur
ized in tho bottles in which It Is de
livered. To do this use n small pall
with a perforated falso bottom. At)
Inverted plo tin with a few holes
punched In It will niuuvor for this pur
pose This will raise the bottles from

a free circulation of tho water and
preventing bumping of tho bottles.
Punch u hole through tho cup of
ono or the bottles and Insert a thur
moiueter a good ono with tho scale)

Set the bottles of milk in tho pall and,
fill the pall with water nearly to tho
level of tho milk. Put tho pall on the!
stovo or over a gas name nuu neat io
until tho thermometer in tho mllkf
shows not less than 145 degrees nor
more than lfiO degrees. Tho bottles) .
should then bo removed and allowed
to stand from 'JO to HO minutes.
Tho punctured cap should bo ro

breaking by sudden change in temper-;
attire. Rcplaco this water slowly with)
cold wnter. After cooling the milk)
should be kept at the lowest available)
temperature.
This method may bo employed to ro
tnrd the souring of milk or cream foi
ordinary purposes.
KEEP MILK COOL IN SUMMER
Where Ice Cannot Conveniently Bs
Used Piece of Flannel Cloth, Im
mersed In Water, Is Good.
When Ico or cold water cannot b
obtained, or whoro a can of milk haa
to be loft In a place whero water ant)
Ico cannot bo conveniently used, a wet
cloth preferably flannel wrapped)
around the can is an aid in keeping
milk cool.
One end of the cloth is best left ex'
tending from the bottom of the can)
nnd Immersed In a pall of water. A
largo amount of the sun rays falllna
on the wet cloth la consumed in evap
orating molsturo, and is thus prevent
cd from reaching the milk. So long at
tho cloth Is kept wet It is a protection!
but aB soon as it becomes dry beat

Daipy Nores
Keep your cream test around 30 pel
cent.
Good fences and good pasture are
flno combination.
Foamy butter is a sign that the
cream was too sour.
Tho more tho study, tbo greater the
success in dairying.
Sonking tho churn in brine occasion
ally will help keep it sweet.
Tho best milk flow cannot be main
talned without a variety of feeds for
the cow.
In theso dayB of fresh green grass,
don't fall to keep plenty of salt before
tbo cows.
Individual excellence Is tbe only
safe guide to be depended upon in ,
selecting cows to build up a good herd.
To thoroughly clean milk utensllB
they first should bo rinsed with cold
water, to remove all particles of
milk.
Fly time means milking after dusk,
having a darkened milking shed, the
use of some fly repeller, or else a fight
with files and cows.
The best dairy appliances in tbe
world are of little use to us if we do
not learn how to use them to tbe test
possible advantage.
Do not turn tho cows on the lush
grass long at a tlmo; neither is it well
to shut off their grain as Boon as grass
comes. Taper off slowly.
Ono advantage of succulent feed is
tho fact that it not only provides tbo
cow with more moisture, but at tbe
same time is more appetizing.
