TRUE BRAIN REsToRERs.
How often we hear people. particularly those
who live in the country, and conld have an
abundance OF good fresh milk and milk prod
ucts say. II never drink milk; it does not
agree with me-"
Or they will say: "Cheese is not good for
me- and ] do not eat it," And some, even,
draw the line at butter.
Children who should be kept largely on a
milk diet, with an egg, perhaps, for breakfast,
are given strong meat and potatoes fried IN
grease. And then on top of it all some one
tries to force milk upon them.
Then the little one is distressed, and the
mother says complacently, Milk does not
agree with my children" adding. by the way
of a clincher = / never could drink milk"
And yet that mother is yellow and cadaver-
Gus and hollow-eyed, because all her life her
poor stomach has been wrestling with mon

Now aside from the natural proofs that milk
is a wholesome food, afforded by the rosy Swiss
mountaineer and the bewitching Irish peasant
girls, who live almost solely on buttermilk and
potatoes, here comes the scientific pronuncia-
mento that the great brain restOrers are milk
and cheese.
After long and exhaustive experiments with
invalids, and those suffering from indigestion
and low nutrition, the Paris Academy of Medi-
cine has formally placed milk anil cheese on
the list of brain restorers. Experiments with
caseine show 153 parts of organic PHOSPHORUS
CIT of every 1000.
Give up eating so much sodden food, unless
hard and exhaustive labor require it, and take
instead cup of nice fresh milk, slipped slowly,
at your meals. And above all, remember that
milk for babes" is the true guide for chill
dren's diet-neryous fed American chill
dren-as it WAS for the star-eyed babes of Beth
lehem 1900 years ago.
The siouiest, strongest child / know never
has anything for her breakfast but milk, plenty
of it, with soft boiled egg when she wants it,
or bit of bread and butter. The egg is eaten
without seasoning. For dinner she has milk
and some mashed potatoes, leaving the bits of
meat on herplate that are sometimes given her,
now that she is three years old.
Fruit she has in plenty, and as her tastes are
wholly unspoiled she makes a face at anything
sour, or spced, or highly seasoned, which she
sometimes asks TO sample; and turns up her
nose at tea, coffee, and sweetmeats, unless it be
ice cream, which is quite in her line.
She has never "pieced," except to be given
a cup Of milk now and then, and so has not
made the acquaintance Of dOughnuts and cook
les, and at the table she always rejects cake,
even if some one, in mistaken kindness, offers
her some
So much for keeping the natural taste for
natural food in its childish purity. If this is
done there will be no need of saying, my
children can't drink milk" and no trouble
keeping unwholesome things from them, since
they will not want them.

dren have.
Plenty of milk sweetened with old-fashioned
common sense would soon Danish the puny
child from the family, since it would not be
long until the little hot-honse plant would
under natural conditions grow strong and rosy
and independent.
EXCHANGE SUSPENDED.
THE TRIBUNE Exchange is suspended with
this issue, and its revival is doubtful. One of
the principal reasons is that complaints in
crease that those asking letters autographs,
aud other fayors SO frequently fail to recipro-
cate.
Ali requests received up to the writing Of
this have gone in, except a few asking for
money or articles of money value; so that we
shall all have a fair start.
IN future exchanges will not be mentioned,
save as exception to the rule, unless notice is
given TO the contrary.
Dan 7. Edwards, Union veteran of Red
Lodge, Mont, who would like to exchange
autographs with c. C. members, is among those
who has failed to receive autographs in return
for cards sent out. or recsipts of money con-
tributed on call.
