Rancid Iintter.

Rancidity of butter is caused by a
chemical change of the butyric acid OF
the butter into other acids of different
character. These acids are volatile,
and give off their scent very readily.
hence the strong scent of bad butter.
They may be partly removed by wash
ing the butter in water in which some
saltpeter has been dissolved, and then
in clear water, and by repaeking with
a mixture of six ounces of salt, four
ounces of white sugar and one ounce OF
saltpeter, finely powdered, to six pounds
Of butter. -Farmarx' VoiaA-

CAUSES OF sLEEPLESSNEsS.

Extract From Lecture by DIR. j. III. KEEL
Iogg. of the Battle Creek snnitarium.
Many a man stays awake nights on
account of the reproaches of guilty
physical conscience. He has trans
crossed the laws of digestion, and so
sleeplessness is one of the penalties
which long-suffering nature inficts.
Perhap she has goaded his stomach with
condiments until it is no longer respon-
sive to whips and strings, let alone
proper food. Perhaps he has overloaded
and abused his stomach until it has be-
come very much dilated and can not
empty itself of food and it is also too
much relaxed to absorb with proper
rapidity. Poisonous substances are
formed by the action of microbes upon
the slowly digesting food, and these are
absorbed and irritate the brain and
nerves so as to drive away sleep. The
theme from an extra strong cup of tea
will have a similar effect; the poison
Gus principle of coffee is identical with
it and both drinks are thoroughly un-
hvpienic. Flesh foods constitute the
best kind of material for producing poi
sons through Indigestion. Many a
butcher gets blood poisoning from cut
in handling the meat which he is pre-
pairing to send TO his customers. This
is especially true of meats which are
kept until they are tender or high. I"
Again, other people are kept awake be-
cause they never allow their stomachs
TO get empty and not only eat three
