The police of Rochester, Pa., have been made censors in the mat ter of feminine apparel worn on the streets and in pnblic places, and they are reported to be actually carrying |out this ordinance made and provided for their guidance, without fear for the frowns and haughty insulted airs of the fair delinquents. What do you think of that? *I am very sorry, madam, but I am compelled, under the recent or dinance enacted as a result of re commendations of the Morals Effi ciency Committee of Council, to place you under arrest unless you will agree to return to your home and change your mode of dress." "?ir, what have I done? What is wrong with my costume?" "You are not properly dressed. " Such is the cold-blooded and un compromising tenor of the dialogue reported to have been conducted between the blue-coats and the ul ua-fashionable pedestrians of Ro chester repeatedly during the last few days. ' On several occasions the women bridled up and grew de fiant, but in the end were compelled to obey the law. The Morai? Efficiency Commit tee of Rochester was authorized by the city council to determine what constitutes a modestly dressed wo man. Especially were slashed and form-draping skirts, gauze hose and peek-a-boo waists condemned. The committee, it is said, is ex pected to issue a proclamation de fining the lir?nations to the length of skirts, thickness of cloth and proper number to wear at one time. Hosiery, waists and other female apparel will also be classified under the head of "'permissible" or "un iesirable." The necessity for this sort of thing is not at all complimentary to the sex. We should think the ladies would begin to organize com mittees of Vigilantes among them selves to right these fashions that are comiDg to be a serious reflec tion on the modesty o?*? the sex. Columbia Record. Our Daily Bread. No other foodstuff used oy man ts more satisfying than bread wheu taken with other articles of diet, ind many of the latter gain thereby in nutritive value and power of as similation, as, for inetanoe, milk. By simply drying the slices of bread, thus making "toast,'' bread jan be more readily digested. It is also more easily masticated, and for this reason somewhat stale bread is to be preferred to that freshly baked. Of the various flours made of ce reals, wheat flour is the most used, rhe finer the flour is ground, espe cially wheat flour, the more of nu tritive substances are lost, and wheat bread is poorly absorbed. Rye flour, when it contains bran, is very badly assimilated. Oats are even more poorly taken up. When oats are to be used it is best to eat the products manufactured espe cially with a view to the digesti bility. In my estimation, a puree of oatmeal with two yolks forms a very healthful food, in which the eggs not only greatly improve the taste, but also increase the nutritive value- Very valuable preparations for children's use can be made with oatmeal when taken with milk. Just as with bread, many people feel that they cannot do without potatoes. Potatoes should always be boiled in the skin. The best way is to put them into boiling wa ter and let them cook for about half an hour, until they are quite soft. When the potatoes are suffi ciently cooked they should be peel ed and served at once. The diges tibility of the potato depends upon the manner of its preparation. When potatoes have been thorough ly cooked and are served mashed in the form of a puree they give the stomach but little work and can be well assimilated. Good, dry, mea ly potatoes, when steamed, sliced and browned, are well assimilated, but whole roasted potatoes are in digestible, badly assimilated and often give rise to acid eructations. Potatoes contain little fat, so it is advisable to add butter in eating them.-Health and Longevity. Engines and Horses. The prediction has often been made that the automobile, auto truck, trolley cars and other modes of transportation, and new power plows, and farming implements, would do much to reduce demand for horses; and yet prices for horses have steadily risen, as other prices have risen. Moreover it is probable that demand tor good horses will con tinue. The change has been an 1 will continue to be in the quality of the horses. The "plug" will be eliminated. Only good horses will pay for production, and demand for good stock will grow-demand will be for better stock, all the time, while demand for stock of poor quality will grow less. The man who raises poor stock need not expect a good market, and will be fortunate if he finds any market at all. This is not bad. There ought to be no market for stock of poor quality. The production of such stock answers no good purpose, and is gross waste. A horse of fine quality can be fed for as little as can a "plug" and there is no ex cuse for the "plug's" existence. Let those who aie raising horses -and mules-appreciate the fact that demand is for good stock on ly, and they will respond to the demand. Let them know that they must find loss on poor stock, and they will breed only good stock. Prices are high, and will con tinue to be high, for good horses. For the other kind there is little demand, and there will be less. Farm aud Ranch. Farmer Slack's Woes. Farmer Slack is two weeks or more behind in his seeding this ?pring because his plows and har rows which he left out in the fence corner over winter were rusted and out of repair. He broke his plow the first time he hitched onto it, his disc harrow which he bought new last year wouldn't work, and one of the cogs in bis seeder snapped the first time around the field, so he bad to send to the company to get a new one, delaying him seeding several days. As a result his oats will be late in coming up and will hardly get a start before the June dry spell. The yield will be small. His mowing machine and binder are under an open shed where he left them last fall, unrepaired and in no condition for use. It will not require an extraordinarily strong develop ed prophetic vision to see that hay ing will be late on Neighbor Slack's place. The clover and timothy hay will be over ripe and worth about as much as wheat straw for stock feeding. And Neigh ber Slack will lay all his troubles to the poor season and general bad luck. Mrs. Slack will wear her last summer's hat another year.-Rural Life. Infants' Complaints. / The first warm days in June liing a burden of apprehension to young mothers. The babies who have thrived during the winter and spring show the effects of the changed season. They grow pale they become restless, their digestion is feeble. Every mother wonders as she looks at her child, whether or not it will survive the warm months of summer. No mother can get a positive an swer to this question; but every mother can be assured that if she is careful of her child and mindful of a few essentials, sh? can give her child nine chances of living to one of dying. The most important thing to do is to watch the baby's food. If the child is breast-fed and the mother is careful in her per sonal habits, lhere is comparatively small danger. If the baby is bot tle-fed, there is much greater dan ger of sickness, but this can be min imized by a few simple precautions. These are the things to do. 1. See that the baby gets fresh and pure milk. 2. See that the milk never sours nor gets heated before being deliv ered to you. 5. See that the milk is kept cool after you get it. 4. See that the milk and nurs ing bottles are boiled as often as used. 6. See that everything used in preparing thp milk is kept clean. 6. See that tke flies are kept away from the baby and the baby's bottles. 7. See that a physician exam ines your baby, prescribes its food and directs its treatment whenever the child is sick. 8. Keep the baby out of doors in the fresh air as much as possible. 9. Feed the baby regularly and not every time it cries or frets. 10. Give the baby water to di ink at such times and in amounts as the season and age of the baby require. -Farm and Ranah. Ice Cream Delivered in Quantities.

[By Jona Lake.] O sea of briny tears-a nation's tears, And sweat and blood and bitterness and woe !To drink up Jordan through these myriad years, And grow in bitterness forever so! Why seek the lowent depths, as seek ing hell? Why seek the fiery levels of the lost? Ye cities of the plain, your story tell That dirge of sin and sin's own cer tain cost. Upon thy quivering face, O sea of tears, And in thy heaving bosom, day and night, Is there no sir;,e through al) the desert years? Is only bhsc ig, blinding day thy light? j Look up, Dead Sea! there on the wes tern sky, Above the shadows of the dying day, Death's conqueror ascended.
