PURE DAIRY PRODUCTS.
The Importance of Maintaining Certain
Standard of Purity In Milk.


The Importance of Maintaining Certain
Standard of Purity In Milk.
The absolute necessity of maintain
ing certain standard of purity in
food-products has led, in most of the
States to comprehensive and some-
what stringent legislation concerning
adulteration. Particularly is this the
case as regards the products of the
dairy. The official inspection busies
itself with both the qualitative and
cumulative value of these articles. OF
all the foods supplied directly by nat
ure. milk is the only one which con-
tains all the elements of nutrition in
the relative proportions required by
man, and in form easy of digestion;
1t is, therefore. the food best-suited to
young children and neutrality-suspicious.
who can i'll afford to have their food
tempered with in any way. This con-
sideration, together with the universal
use Of the article. has determined the
adoption of system of public inspec-
ton in nearly all of our larger cities.
The States of Massachusetts,. New
York and Michigan have given par
ticular attention to the honesty Of the
milkman. and the standards Of quality
and methods Of analysis established
by their public analysts have been
generally adopted by chemists all
over the country. Yet in spite of the
vigilant eye which is thus constantly
watching this department of the farm,
pounds of butter weighed according
to a.system of units not recognized in
the arithmetics. milk will contain an
abnormal percentage of water, and
cream whose composition will not
bear investigation, are daily sold in
the masterpieces of both city and
country.
But there are, Of course, two sides
to the question. Not unfrequently
the milkman is accused entirely with
out cause. There are few house,
keepers who do not sincerely be-
lieve, in spite of an otherwise general
faith in mankind, that he. at least,
will bear watching. The analyst
however, is a perfectly unprejudiced
person. He cares little for the pro-
testations of the vender, or the sus-
picions of the customer. He simply
says: "You milk should have such
and such specific gravity; it should
contain such and such percentages of
fat, of other hydrocarbons, of mineral
salts, and of water: if it contain these,
1t is an honest milk; if it do not it is
adulterated. And generally, the
analyst is not open to argument He
has implicit faith in his hydrometer
and analytical balance. Prof @. Ham

HOUSE COSTUMES.
A Variety of Charming and Fashions
Gowns for Home Wear.

Variety of Charming and Fashionable
Gowns for Home Wear.
Just now fashion prescribes special
corsage for breakfast gowns. The
material may be almost any thing of
simple nature, though wash goods are
best The distinctive feature is sem.
blance of the crossed handkerchief
something like those of our great
grandmothers' days. These may be of
muslin and lace. or of soft-colored
stuff. The wedge of neck is left bare,
the sleeves are above the wrists, the
hair is dressed high from the neck, and
it requires only fresh, healthy, amia-
BILE wearer to be positively irresistible.
The cut Of the gown itself should de-
pend considerably on the individuality
of the woman.
An exceedingly slender woman can
wear what may be called fat clothes.
A neglige for her room can be effect
lively made, for instance. of cream
white wooden canvas, with rows of silk
ribbon run into pulled" places wher-
ever any trimming can be used. She
can have wrapper Of surah silk and
white nuns vailing. The lining is OF
thin delaine, the outer surface of blue
surah, and between the two is layer
of cotton wadding basted securely to
the lining all over. Then up and down
the front and about the loose sleeves
and collar it is tackled through and
through at intervals Of three inches.
just as a comfortable is made. A
coarse needle threaded with stout
linen is passed through the whole
thing and bunch of the fine
pearl-edged satin ribbon, for
running into lace, is tied securely in
tufting to the front in rows and going
around the neck and sleeves several
times. 1t is an exquisite thing. so
soft and so sweet for an ounce or so
of violet sachet powder scattered upon
the cotton perfumes the robe like a
spring morning. OF course, none but
the Sarah Bernhardts of women can
indulge in such wadded gowns. But
there are plenty of slim women who
can be perfect loves of comfort and
beauty in this charming kind of gown.
When the fashionable woman garbs
herself for the reception of afternoon
or evening callers she also sees to it
that her maid servant is not less fault
lessly attired. Caps and aprons are
in vogue and the dresses are oftener
calico or gingham, wooden being
generally forbidden and not. to be

Purify Your Blood.

Bodily and mental health depends
upon a healthy condition of the blood.
The blood, particularly in the spring
and summer months, becomes clogg-
ed with impurities, which poison it
and generate disease. A harmless
blood purifier is necessary to restore
healthy tone. The best purifier
and tonic known is Swift's Specific
IS. S. S. OF its wonderful purifying
and tonic powers we give a few
testimonials:
Mr.. VIM. A. Siebold, with George
