A Process which Lessons Nouriahinr
Qualities OF tho Fluid.
After all that has been written and
preached about the necessity OF ster-
liking milk for the use Of infants. II
those IN car Of them would do their
full duty the medical specialists in
the care Of children are now Of the
opinion that sterilization lessons the
noWishing qualities Of milk. and rem
d1rs It more difficult Of digestion.
The latest teaching on this import
ant topic In the best medical circles IS
that milk must Of necessity be steril-
ized for safety's sake II It has been
exposed to harmful germs, but that It
Is altogether preferable to prepare in
fants' food with unsterilized milk II
good and chemically clean milk can
be had. This means that pains should
be taken to get milk from healthy
cows that have been MIXED in a clean
~ manner, the milk being kept there
after till ready for use in clean vessels,
closely covered.
1t is easier now for those who can
afford to pay for It to procure ohemi-
cally pure milk in large cities than in
most country places. A large number
Of people now make a business Of TAX
Ing care Of COWS than many human
beings receive, milking them with the
utmost sanitary precautions, and con-
veying the milk to those who demand
chemically clean milk for infants and
lnvalids.
On the farm the housewife usually
takes pains to scald the milk recep-
%tacles, but in the majority Of cases
the milking is done by a hired man"
who has never been taught, and does
not know that a mixer should have
clean hands. 1t would be easily pos
sible to insist that n who milks
should wash his hands thoroughly Just
before milking. II there is not a regu-
lar dairy for the milk, a special place
should be petitioned of to hold It
when sitting in the pans; this place
should be screened from flies. which
carry typhoid contagion, and nothing
but milk should be kept there, so that
odors Of fruits and vegetables and all
dust shall be kept from the milk and
cream.
Milk intended for infants should be
put as soon as MIXED into glass bot
ties, that, after being cleaned, have
been rinsed in boiling water and turn
ed upside down TO drain upon a scald-
ed dish. Tho bottles should then be
covered closely with a stopper Of cot
ton batting, or, If for transportation,
the bottles should have a liquid tight
cap; this, If of metal, should be kept
from touching the milk with one Of
the patent paper caps, that can be dip
ped into boiling water without injury.

crying out for energetic measures. The
rats career about the city toward even

oda Costume for Amsrlsnn..

The latest thing in American military
uniforms is probably that adopted by
the Samoan national guard, which has
just been organized by Commandant
Tflley. The guard is a regularly organ
lied military company of the United
States and is armed with Lee rifles.
The uniform consists Of white singlets,
blue lavalavas with red facings, red
sashes. red turbans and the usual cart
ridge box Announcements.
The avalaYa is a short skirt, which
IN aboriginal times was made of ba-
mana leaves, but is now made of cot
ton cloth. The effect Is something like
a Highland kilt except that the skirt
is shorter. The singlet is a sort Of
doublet or waistcoat.
Almost the first service the Tutuila
national guard was called on to per-
form was to arrest a chief who had
destroyed the house and property of
another Samoan because the latter had
cooked anu eaten a fish which, accord
ing to Samoan customs, was reserved
exclusively for the chiefs.

effect produced by a violinist on a
family party of Indians who occupied
the front seats at a concert in Topeka,
Kan. II was told there was a father
with six sons in the party, all very
large, broad-shouldered men. They
filed quietly into their seats, preceded
by a local guide. in whose hands they
seemed like good, docile children. One
can never know what they thought OF
us, but one can do something in the
way Of inference. They sat quite inn
movable in their seats, with their OK
like eyes fixed on our party while we
played serious music. No shadow Of
emotion could be seen on their coun-
tenances. The fifth number Of the
program was a violin solo by Mr..

began they looked all around the cell

to see singing birds fitting about. Not

list and began to understand that he
