The foods that are set down as acid-forming are those containing a considerable percentage of protein. These include meats, fish, eggs and the cereals. Most vegetables are base-forming, and these include also legumes, such as peas and beans, which have high protein content. This does not mean, however, that any of these foods are not wholesome or that with a normal individual they should not constitute a reasonable portion of the diet. 2. Egg albumin is not objectionable to the normal person and does not tend to promote diseases of the kid- neys. 3. Milk is not constipating in itself. Tt is so completely digestible that when it is the sole article of food, lack of bowel movement may result from lack of roughage. When green vegetables, fruits and the coarser cereals are included in the diet in reasonable amounts, milk is a most wholesome and valued food. Club women of Illinois have planned to unite their efforts for im- provement in sanitation, health and prevention of disease during the com- ing year, according to a statement from the Illinois Federation of Wom- en’s clubs. In promoting public health and child welfare, the various clubs will decide which activity their commui- ity needs. Assistance in carrying out their programs will le given by the State chairman of publie health and child welfare. Because of the close cooperation of four important agen- cies in the State—the federation clubs, the State medical society and the State department of public health —there is an opportunil7 for unusual achievement. * A plan for saving bab'es and moth- ers, a plan for preschool child exam- inations, medical inspection of school children, dental inspection of school children, control of diphtheria, adult health audits, and study and enforce- ment of health laws are the items specified in the prospectus sent to the individual clubs by the federation. While the medical care and {reat- ment of the scheol child has pro- gresced enormously in the last fifteen years, little or no consideration has been given the teacher’s health. Per- sons who ‘are below par physieally, who are weak, ill, depressed or tirzd, are not fit companions of youth, nor have: they the energy requisite for teaching. «We have as much right to de- mand physical fitness as intellectual and moral fitness,” declares Prof. Frank Smith of Armstrong College, England, writing on the health of the teacher in the World’s Health. Aside from the benefit to the chiid and the teacher, good he:'th in the teacher is an economic saving to the community. Industry has found tha® money was saved when the health of employees was examined and proved. School teachers are expo-ed to no occupational hazards, compared to those found in industry and have comparatively easy hours and condi- tions of work with long holidays for rest and recreation. Besides that, they are a selected class. One would naturally expect to find among them less time lost because of illness, but steh is not the case. Teachers in the London schools showed an average loss of 7.3 days annually for each teacher. In the State of Illinois, there was a loss of 6.6 days annually for each teacher, involving a loss to the educational system of more than $1,000,000 in salaries, according to a report from the State health department. In Eng- land, the rate of sickness based on aver 12,000,000 workers for eight years shows an annual loss of 5.2 days for each man and 6.7 days for each woman. Improvement in the condition of the teachers’ health and consequent saving in the State may be made along the same lines that have been adopted in industry. Physical exam- ination of all applicants for positions, with a high standard of fitness, first step. In the normal schools phys- ical examinations are usually made at entrance and upon leaving, but less than half the teachers go to normal schools. “Improvement of working conditions is the second step to be made in im- proving the health of teachers. The time lost by teachers is usually due te minor ailments, particularly pul- monary, bronchial, throat, nervous and mental complaints. Smaller class- es in more hygienic schoolrooms, with especial attention to light and ven- tilation, have been advised to over- come these minor complaints. The additional expense should be more than offset by the improved quality and efficiency of the teaching and by the saving in lost time due to illness. Olive oit is good for burns and sealds if applied immediately. It should be covered with the white of a vaw egg to exclude the air. ———————— ly —————— — Subscribe for the Watchman. im- is the | FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT Wesley’s Rule. Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. Shops and old jewel collections are being ransacked for the cameos that were cast aside a few years ago as no longer good style. They are now classed among the choicest antiquities of Paris shops. Even the cameo brooch, so humble in its last seasons, is the sought-for pin of the day. One dealer in antique jewelry makes an important display of a pair af long earrings made up of four black cam- eos of different design reset in the manner of 50 years ago. Spring styles in lingerie have been displayed at the Hotel Astor under the ausipces of the United Women’s Wear League of America. Most of the models featured a waist line, a close-fitting bodice and a full flaring silhouette. Flesh pink was the outstanding hue while there was also a noticeable ar- ray of printed silks in underwear and pajamas. The bridal lingerie set com- prised four pieces, with ivory satin for the negligee and nightgown and cream satin for the slip and combina- tion. Novelties in the pajama line includ- ed vagabond trousers and an affair consisting of a seven-eighths length coat of gold lace with shirred peach- colored satin sleeves, a surplice, satin bodice and satin trousers. What to wear with what is the the burning question of most women’s lives, and, knowing this, a group of fashion experts have devoted much time and study to the matter. They call themselves fashion co-ordinators and offer many splendid suggestions to the woman who is never quite sure whether navy blue is smart for sven- ing or if a coat suit will do for lunch- eon at the hotel. An afternoon dress of printed silk has a velvet coat matching the pre- dominating color of the print. With it go black suede opera pumps, 2 black pouch antelope bag with gold frame, beige gloves in pull-on stones and a small close hat in either beige or black Tus«an. Spectator sports costumes are now an accepted part of our wardrobe. Ensemble suits of tweed with a seven- length coat and a knitted blouse are smart. With them one wears beige gloves, oxfords or strapped slippers with medium heel, preferably trimmed with reptile, and a patterned bag to give a note of color. For evening one wears printed chif- fon with a matching coat, a beaded model of bouffant taffeta, if one does not choose velvet. Velvet coats, fur trimmed or metal brocade, accompany them. Bags are of gold or silver brocade. Slippers are of brocade or gold or silver cloth or sometimes vel- vet to match the costume if one is a debutante. ‘es, we will have printed frocks under kasha coats, ensembles of tweed or homespun and smart little suits. Pull- on gloves of natural doeskin or beige, ballibunti hats with Descat’s fan or- rnament, bakou, belting or felt. Bags of homespun, colored leather or an- telope. Shoes of lizard, in strapped models, black patent oxfords os pumps and tan calf with two straps and a lower heel are smart. Beige is well liked as ever. There are subtle shades called putty, rose beige and yellow beige. With these the stockings are “noon,” which is ‘a clear light “sunburn,” honey-beige and matin, which is a new flesh tone. Shoes are brown or beige or white trimmed with beige in suede, kid-skin ior calf with reptile as trimming for sports, or brown or beige in suede. kidskin, reptile and patent for street and afternoon. Gloves are white champagne, brown, mother goose. wood beaver, silica, sand, sable and , mode. i Gray is spoken of as a coming | color for spring. With it shoes are ‘black or gray, natural reptile, gun- | metal or lizard. Gloves are black ov | matching gray in kidskin and putty, ! natural, mother goose or gray in doe- skin. i Gloves for imemdiate wear, accord- ing to reports from Paris, favor sum- | plicity in trimming, although some form of embellishment is used. Color '{s again important. Gray and beige | are popular colors, as are also the ‘new light browns that match the {ra shoe shades. Jade white is another important color for wear with | the dressy afternoon ensemble. Black gloves in glace kid and | mocha with white stitching on the backs and cuffs are being worn. The very fine white kid glove also is still | to the fore. These are noted in both | slip-en and single button models, with ' only slight touches in applique work or embroidery. On the more tailored gloves which are worn with the new daytime frocks | and costumes, the strapped models | appear to be in vogue. These gloves | are not so mannish looking as those | shown in previous seasons, for the straps are finished with new buckles in the modernistic manner. Some of the newest slip-on gloves are open | at the tops and linked together with | regular cuff links and made in new designs and color schemes. | There is at present quite a demand {ror the old-fashioned type of shop- ping bag made in strong sturdy leath- ler. These are wanted for traveling | purposes, probably because of their | voominess. The colors asked for are | dark brown, black, gray and green. Women are using them to carry small handbags and purses and selecting them to harmonize with the one re- mainder of their luggage. Included in many of the collections of flowers seen, which have the label of Paris are bunches of cherries in the newest colors as well as in natur- al tones. To wear with the wood violet frocks the modernistic versions of the cherry flattened out so that they may dangle from the lapel of a | coat or be found tucked into a bow or sash. . ..

An average of more than 600 car- loads of Pennsylvania apples were shipped to foreign countries during each of the four years from 1923 to 1927, says the Bureau of Markets at Harrisburg in explaining that fruit, grown in this Commonwealth, has al- most the whole world for a market. France, Germany, England, the Scandinavian countries and South America have received most of the export shipments. In addition it is estimated that more than 1000 carloads of apples on the average were shipped annually during the same period to twenty different States located as far south as Florida and Alabama, and as far west as Ar- kansas and Wisconsin. Over 400 carloads of peaches have likewise been shipped from Pennsyl- vania in one year. These have gone to eighteen States ranging from Flor- ida to Louisiana and Wisconsin in the Middle West. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has prepared a bulletin entitled “The Market for Pennsylva- nia Fruit” which can be secured free by any interested party. In spite of bad weather conditions existing during several of the most important spring and summer months Pennsylvania farmers in 1927, proved themselves among the best farmers in the United Statés, says the Depart- ment of Agriculture, at Harrisburg. The total value of crops produced was estimated at $249,084,000, which is $660,000 more than that of all the New England States and New Jersey combined. While the acre yield of corn—39.5 bushels—was below the five-year av- erage, still this yield is three bushels more than was produced per acre in Iowa and 9.5 bushels more than in Illinois. The winter wheat erop, which with one exception was the lowest since 1911 was produced at the rate of 7.3 bushels mor . per acre than in Kansas. Likewise the acre yield of oats was three bushels more than in Iowa and 10.5 bushels more than in Illinois. The potato crop was the most val- unable produced in any State of the Union excepting New York, and the acre yield of 120 bushels was the largest on record in Pennsylvania ex- cepting 1923 when the yield was 123 bushels, more than in Wisconsin, 19 bushels more than in Minnesota, 40 bushels more than in New York—all of which ave leading potato producing States The acre yield of tame hay—1.65 tons is the largest on record for Penn- sylvania and the total crop, with the exception of 1916, was the largest since the Civil war. The buckwheat crop was the larg- est since 1912, giving the State first place in the production of this crop. The acre yield of tobacco—1360 pounds—was the highest of any State, being 186 pounds more per acre than in Connecticut. Permanent barnyard pavements not only add to the appearance of a farm they also help to prevent disease in the cattle and keep the milk clean. These pavements can be easily con- structed by the farmer himself. The ground must first of all be lev- cled off. Forms for the concrete are then built of two-inch lumber five inches wide which will be the thick- ness of the floor. The top of the forms are set to such 2 grade that a slope of one-fourth inch a foot across the floor will be secured for proper drainage. The forms are built to provide for slabs not more than ten feet square. A good plan is to lay the alternate Saks first and the intermediate ones ater. The concrete for pavements con- tains five and one-half gallons of wat- er to the sack of cement. If the sand and pebbles used are moist add only four and one-half gallons as the extra gallon will be contained in these ma- terials. Wet sand and pebbles require only three and three-quarter gallons of water. Use enough sand and pebbles to se- cure a concrete that is workable, but not sloppy. Ordinarily two cubic feet of sand and three of pebbles to each sack of cement will give the right mixture. If this mixture is too dry or too “sloppy” vary it to meet the ex- act needs. After the concrete has been placed, it is finished with a wood float. This finishing gives the pavement a gritty Juriacs on which the cattle will not slip. A bottomless box holding one cubic foot, two cubic feet, or any given amount, is frequently used in measur- ing the sand and stone used in mak- ing concrete. The box is set on the mixing floor, filled to the top, and then lifted, the materials remaining on the floor. Calves should have salt as soon as they begin to eat hay and grain. A hand separator that is not prop- erly adjusted will steal part of your profits every day. So will a poor one. Soy beans and soy-bean hay are high protein feeds and experiments have proved them to be valuable feeds for the dairy cow. Feeding boarder cows is worse than throwing away money, for it is also throwing away labor. Because he carefully selects his herd bull, one dairy farmer in another State says that he has increased his annual production of milk one ton per cow in ten years’ time. Added variety to the cow’s ration is a good thing if it can be obtained without much additional cost and without lowering the food value of the ration. The mere fact that an animal has a pedigree, is not always sufficient reason for raising it. The farmer who has both milk cows and green pastures of any sort should plan to bring them together. More contented cows would make more contented farmers. Short Skirts and a Bishop. The venerable Bishop of Ely and Viscount Lascelles, the King’s son- in-law, are debating the authorship of the following deathless rhyme di- rected against the short skirt: Half an inch, half an inch, half an inch shorter; The skirts are the same of mother and daughter. When the wind blows each one of them shows Half an inch, half an inch, more than she oughter. The Viscount says the Bishop wroie it, but the Bishop denies the charge. He does, however, confess to the au- thorship of this one: Mary had a little skirt, So neat, so bright, so airy; It never shows a speck of dirt, But it surely does show Mary. Planes Are Equipped with Telephones Now. “Hello, pilot. This is passenger No. 7. What river is this we are passing over? Pardon? The Missis- sippi—so soon! Thank you.” This is a model conversation which can be carried on soon when the Boe- ing Air Transport company completes installation of a telephone system on the passenger planes from the- Oak- land airport to Chicago. The first telephone was installed recently by mail pilot C. K. Vance who flies from Oakland to Reno, Nev.—Christian Science Monitor. mee lA oer Subscribe for the Watchman. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Above is a photograph taken on the farm of A. Schlechtweg, Freehold, N. J. While vines were still green, 25 consecutive DIPDUST and corrosive sublimate treated hills were dug. Dip- dust hills had 23 sound and only 2 de- cayed seed pieces. Corrosive sublimate hills had only 4 sound and 21 decayed seed pieces. DIPDUST is much more effective than the old-fashioned ways of treat- ing seed potatoes. Besides, you can treat your seed potatoes as fast as you can scoop them up. Just dip them in Dipdust solution and out again and your seed is all ready to plant. One man can easily treat from 200 to 400 bushels of potatoes per day. There is not the slightest danger of injuring the sprouts or even cut seed. DIPDUST controls surface-borne dis- eases, such as Rhizoctonia, scab and black-leg, and protects cut surfaces from seed rotting organisms in the soil. It insures sturdy profitable plants that will increase your yield from 15 to 25 bushels per acre. GUARANTEE Plant a few acres of DIPDUST treat- ed seed in alternate rows with untreated seed.

DICKEY, Elk River, Minn. “It was easy to see the dif- ference between the treated and un- treated parts of the field during the growing season (Early Ohio seed potatoes). The DIPDUST treated plants came up better and appeared healthier and sturdier than the un- treated plants.
