Disctisi Woman't Service Camp.
One of the questions which the
declaration of war has brought to
society people is. "What shall we do
this summer?" Will all those women
who are faithfully rolling bandages,
or learning to do cooking for can
teens, or learning the looks ot a
car from the under side forego their
usual summer trips to continue this
work? If you should suggest such a
thing to them, they would probably
resent the implication that they are
not indefatigable.
There is a means of taking a sum
mer vacation without deserting duty.
Mrs. Frank W. Bacon, who returned
Friday from Washington, says that
in that city many society women are
planning to spend all or a part ot
li..:. ...,mr at the United states
service camp. At present the National
Service school of the woman s sec
tion of the Navy league has just gone
on a twenty days' encampment. It is
proposed by women In various parts
of the country to establish camps on
this plan to do preliminary work.
Such a camp might be opened in
Nebraska. ,
The second encampment opened a
week ago today in Washington with
250 women representing forty states
present. The campsite Is on a gov
ernment reservation of twenty acres.
The women live and work under ab
solute military rules. Military dis
cipline is enforced from the time
reveille is sounded, at 6;30 a. m. until
taps. Officers, doctors, nurses and
others efficient in military aervice,
from the army, navy and marine
corps, give the instructions.
Tents are all on high ground placed
in military fashion, with streets run
ning north and south. The women
wear khaki suits. There are tents for
wireless telegraphy signaling, indoor
drills as well as for hospital and gen
eral Red Cross work. t
The red, white and blue system,
ao popular at Plattsburg, has been
introduced this year. Women who at
tended only one course at the Na
tional Service school last year will
wear red and white service stripes,
while those who attended two courses
will be entitled to wear the coveted
red, white and blue service stripes.
The courses in addition to every
tort of Red Cross work include mili
tary calisthenics and drills under the
direction of noncommissioned offi
cers of the army, navy and marine
corps; setting up exercises and in
fantry foot movements in squad, com
pany and battalion formation, plain
telegraphy and wireless, radio work
taught by experts of the United States
..n,ir trlrzraohv taught by
professionals and other work along
the same lines.

Some Good Advice.
"Don't think too much of your ow
methods. Watch other people's ways
and learn from them." This is good
advice, especially when bilious or con
stipated. You will hnd many peooli
who use Chamberlain's Tablets for
tUanA ailmanta milk kaat t-eiaiiltai
liat;aij luiiviite nun nit uvii ivsuiib,
and will do well to follow their ex-
1 ! . 1
nected directly to the sewer, but
should drin into another fixture; prob
ably the basement sink. The sink ;
should be trapped before connection I
with the sewer. Thus there is no direct ,
connection of the drain and the sewer,
obviating any fear of the back pas
sage of sewer gas. which is decidedly :
unpleasant, though no longer feared
as deadly.
Any refrigerator, whether new or ,
old, should be kept scrupulously clean.
Anything that is spilled should De
wiped up immediately, and if spilled
milk or cream should go down the 1
drain, the drain should be removed
and scalded as soon as possible. The
drain should be cleaned regularly once
a week at least. To clean, run boiling j
soda solution through it. then scald
with clear boiling water, and let
stand in the sun if possible. With good ,
care in handling the foods, the shelves
may be cleaned only once in two :
weeks, though if any but the house-
someone whom she knows 1
to be careful, has charge of the box, a
safer rule is weekly cleaning. Soda so
lution, followed by scalding and sun
ning, is the best cleanser.
In a household icebox, where all
kinds of foods are kept close together,
each food should be kept tightly cov
ered if it has any odor, or any tend
ency to absorb odors, such as milk
and butter have. Stone, china or
enamel cups, with hotel china butter
chips as covers, make good recep
tacles for small quantities ot lood
that are aDt to be left. Food, like
pineapple or cantaloupe, which per
meates a whole icebox with its odor
should not only be covered, but the
whole receptacle shodld be wrapped
in newspaper. Any food which is be
ginning to spoil should be removed at
once, for the micro-organism which
cause spoiling may penetrate to other
foods in the refrigerator, and the odor
of spoiling food will ruin delicate
tlavors. ,
ALL-ROUND service is spelled by this serge
frock, which does not forget that pretti
ness is as much a part of good service as is
practicability.' Hercules braid bands the skirt
and cuffs and finishes the waist. The overcollar
is deep for smartness and white for becomingness.
The colors are navy blue, black and beige. Tur
ban of lisere straw and ribbon, any color.
THIS smart yet conservative suit will hold its
own through a number of seasons. But
tons are a favorite trimming and here they
are. Braid is a favorite, too, and here it is. The
skirt is gathered across the back and has two
pockets. Colors are navy blue or black serge.
High-crowned turban, lisere straw and ribbon,
any color.

Refrigerators.
The first hot April days set us to
thinking of the iceman and the place
where he stores his wares the ice
box. Some of us find the old icebox
so far gone that a new one is an abso
lute necessity. If it is not an absolute
necessity this year we are more apt
than ever to give the old box an over
hauling and "let it go at that." A
coat or two of enamel will work won
ders in the appearance of a box, but
if the construction of the box is faulty
no amount of repairing will remedy
the matter.
In choosing an icebox the cardinal
ooint to consider is the structure of
the walls. No refrigerator is cneap at
anv orice if the walls are inferior. The
principle of refrigerating is to cool the
air of an enclosed box and keep the
outside heat from entering. The walls
must be built of several layers of dif
ferent materials, enclosing dead air
soaces. Felt of different kinds, sheath
ing, wood and paper are some of the
materials used. No refrigerator should
be purchased without studying a
cross-section of its walls. All the ma
terials mentioned are nonconductors,
materials which do not permit the
passage of heat. Hence the heat of
the room cannot penetrate the interior
of a well-built icebox.
A second important point is the
circulation of air within the box. Air
in motion in the box keeps the food
fresher. Some boxes are specially
constructed as to this point. The fast
ening of the doors is of importance
because a partly open door means en
trance ot hot air trom the outside.
. The inside finish of a refrigerator
must be clean in appearance and eas
ily kept clean. All but the least inex
pensive boxes have white walls and
shelves in the food compartments.
1 here is, however, a dinerence in
white materials, and the white enamel
should be chosen for its lasting qual
ities. The position of the drain pipe
should be considered. The drain
should be cleaned often, about once a
week; hence it should be easily ac
cessible. Some boxes are so con
structed that the drain can only be re
moved after all the shelves are taken
out In a well kept refrigerator the
shelves should not require cleaning as
often as the drain.
After securing the essentials of a
good refrigerator there are still many
conveniences to be sought if the cost
s not prohibitive to the pocketbook
in question. A large box is really
it requires less, ice to keep cool after
it is once filled. An ice compartment
opening to the outside is a great con
venience found in many up-to-the-minute
kitchens. The iceman need
never track up the kitchen or refrig
erator room; neither is the housewife
required to be at home when the ice
arrives. A certain type of round ice
box has revolving shelves so that
there is never the bother of taking
everything out to find what is wanted
from the far corner. Some of the
newer boxes have water coolers built
aext to the ice compartment. The
fdea is excellent, but if the cooler is
large in proportion to the usage of
uatir in that particular family the
water may have a stale taste. Of
course, one does not meet that dim
culty in hot weather when it seems
imDossible to keep enough cooled
watrr nn hand.
Nothing is more attractive for the
outside finish of a refrigerator than
white enamel or tile, with nickel ht
tings. The very whiteness suggests
coolness. However, for practical pur
poses, a wooden exterior is equally
satisfactory.
The drain pipe of a refrigerator
may lead into a pan which must be
emptied at regular intervals, or it may
lead to the srround. or it may be con
nected with the sewer. The first ar
rangement is a ereat deal of trouble,
especially if the pan is neglected in
hot weather. A small flood is not an
uncommon occurrence! The pipe lead
ine onto the ground is quite satis
factory, especially if the ground slopes
naturally. The water drips so slowly
that there is little danger ot unpleas
ant, damp ground. If the drain leads to
1 the sewer, it should never be con
jmore economical in the end, because
Food and Food-Value
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
Eating serves two purposes Pleasure and Nourishment.
Eating for Pleasure feeds our palates.
Eating for Nourishment feeds our stomachs.
The war is on. We must choose food for food-value.
We must eat food with the greatest amount of nourish
ment. We must feed the stomach and spare the purse.
PURE MILK IS PERFECT FOOD
Contains the maximum amount of nourishment. It sup
plies all the elements of nutrition. Is made up of proteins,
fats, carbohydrates, salt and water in balanced propor
tion. These elements renew bodily wastes, promote
growth of tissues and supply energy.
PURE MILK IS AN ECONOMY
As compared with other foods, milk is cheapest by three
times. A quart of milk is equal in food value to eight eggs,
three-quarters of a pound of lean beef, or two pounds of
chicken. The price of milk is now ten cents per quart. The
year 'round price of other foods is three times the amount.
ALAMITO MILK IS PURE
To be beneficial, milk must be free from harmful bacteria.
To make it safe for human consumption, it must be pas
teurized. Alamito Milk Is Perfectly Pasteurized
Begin economizing. Use this healthful food.
