have; even fried if of nice quality, is good for
the purpose: take away all stringy parts sinew

of bread about half inch thick cut off all crust
steep the bread in little milk; when soaked

will do; fast as the froth rises lay it on sieve
to drain. Then place in the bottom of your Jelly
glasses any kind ofjely or jam, and fill the glass

MLK.-An English physician, DR.. Duckworth,
in an article reproduced in The Popular Science
Monthly, argues in favor of a free use of milk in
household dietaries Milk is food" he saws
that should not be taken in copious draughts
like beer or other fluids, which differ from it
chemically. If we consider the use of milk in in
fancy-the physiological CESSATION, that is, of it
we find that the sucking babe imbibes little by
little the natural food provided for it. Each
small mouthful is secured by effort, and slowly
presented to the gastric mucous surface for the
primal digestive stages. 1t is thus regularly and
gradually reduced to curd and the stomach is
not oppressed with lump of half cOagulated
milk. The same principle should be regarded in
the case of the adult Milk should be slowly
taken in mOuthfuls at short intervals, and thus it
is rightly dealt with by the gastric juice If milk
be taken after other food it is almost sure to bur
den the stomach and to cause discomfort and pro-
longed indigestion and this for the obvious reason
that there is an insufficient digestive agency to
dispose of it. And the better the quality of the
milk, the more severe the discomfort will be
under these conditions" DR.. Duckworth's allow
ance for family of ten persons would be at least
five quarts of milk day.
WHAT VACCINATION WILL Do.-If an unvac-
cinated person be exposed to smallpox on Mon
day he will be safe if vaccinated on or before the
following Wednesday; if it be postponed till
Thursday, the smallpox rash will appear but
will be modified; if delayed till Friday, it will
be useless. Re-vaccnatiOn will have effect two
days later than will vaccination that is performed
for the first time. AS soon smallpox breaks
out the doctor must be sent for. The patient
must be isolated, and only those allowed to see
him who have been well vaccinated. He must
be kept in bed which should be placed in an airy
room well ventilated and of a uniform and me-
dunn temperature, about sixty degrees Fahren-
