reference of the powers, who, it
was said, were putting their
mouth against Greek right. The
speakers vehemently asserted that the
country was now more firmly resolved
than ever to spend its blood and treas
ure for Crete.
Prime Minister Delyannis addressed
the meeting. He declared that the
cabinet was In perfect accord with the
nation. The government knew its duty
fully, and would perform it in face OF
every obstacle.
The audience was carried away by
the warlike words Of the speakers, who
were frequently interrupted by cries

that the whole Hellenic people are in a

To Keep Milk Fresh.
Milk for infants must be kept fresh
and this can be done as follows: AS soon
as the milk comes put it in glass bottle:
nut the bottle In kettle with a block
of wood under it to prevent the bottom
coming in contact with it; put water in
the kettle to como half way up the side of
the bottle; heat the water as hot as nos.
sible without boiling; then take the l,ettIe
from the fire and cork the bottle. Lief
the bottle remain in the kettle for half
an hour, and then put the kettle in a cool
place. This makes the milk safe with
out boiling. If possible use a rubber
stopper in place of cork. The bottle and
stopper must be cleaned every day with
boiling water.-Board of Health Cir

lastly, the dry channels skin is used for

to take a sponge and dip it in alcohol;
rub the glass over quickly with this, wipe
