There is no doubt that hot milk is
a gentle stinulant as well as food and
it is coming more and more into favor.
You will find that you can continue to

ness and clearness of the finest spring
water. A pailful containing four gal
Ions may be purified in this manner by
using no more than a teaspoonful of the
alum.
