Bulletin No. "a, U. s. Dept. of Agri-
culture.-1t is argued that in some re-
spects the process of digestion is sim
liar to fermentation, and that any sub
stance which stops the usual changes
in a food product will also affect its
digestibility. Furthermore, some and
perhaps all of the active chemical
substances in preservatives have dis
tinct influence on the functions of GER
tain organs Of the body No one cayes
to take a dose of medicine withSat
need of it, much less regular and ffrs-
quent doses of an unknown substance,
even though they are small, and many
persons would prefer to go without a
certain food than to run such a risk.
Still another objection to preserva-
tives is the fact that they make it i'm
possible for the butter maker to con-
troll the cream ripening and the devel-
opment of desired favors AS a mat
ter of fact the effect of preservatives
could be made unnecessary in most
cases where they are used. A few
milk producers and butter makers

substances are. so far as appearances
CO. a fair substitute for cleanlinaAs.
By improving their methods they could
do away with the use of the question
able compounds and enjoy clear con-
science in delivering to their customers
goods known beyond a doubt to be
pure. Preservatives do not wholly
stop bacteria from growing and multi
plying and it is safe to say that by
observing scrupulous cleanliness pure
butter could be made which would
keep as well as or better than the or
dinary kind preserved. The pasteur-
ization of milk for making butter for
export is practicable, and it may be
that this, in connection with cleanli-
ness. will be the true solution of the
problem.

Woman Bag
Puncher ~ ~

Bag punching as a system of physi-
cal training has become one OF the
most popular exercises adopted by all
who wish to develop the muscles OF
the body. For this purpose it is ac-
cepted by all directors of physical cul-
ture as one of the best measures OF
development and there is hardly one
gymnasium or school of physical cul-
ture in the country where the punch
ing bag is not in use. Bag punching
is an exercise which gives full play to
every muscle in the human body and
it not only develops the body, (but
quickens the eye. To bring the vari-
GUS muscles into play there is no exer-
else more adapted than bag punching.
The arms, wrists, head, neck, should
ers, body and limbs are brought into
play and in this manner every portion
Of the body gets an equal amount Of
exercise. Moderation is one Of the
chief points of success while training
the body. Too much work is worse
than none at all. One of the first les
sons is to find out how much the body
can stand without tiring AS soon as
the body becomes tired the exercise
should stop. Each day will find one
able to do more, and this gradual in
crease is what makes the exercise
show itself in the wanted improve
ment gained Among the thousands
who have taken up bag punching as a
model of exercise, there are now num-
bered many of the gentler sex, and
they are using it now as a builder up
Of the system. A muscular woman is
not always beautiful in ball room
dress, but physical exercise can be
taken without development of the
muscles to a degree of coarseness. A
routine of daily exercise will do
great deal towards making beauty
show itself where other sytems would
fail absolutely.
Some excellent advice is given to
women by Miss Belle Gordon, who
now holds the championship of the

The Great Ohio Sale Circuit.

In the last issue of our paper in an
in Ohio last week, we took occasion to
call attention to the advantage to both
buyers and sellers Of holding such
circuit of sales. We also tried to I'M
press our readers with the Importance
OF these events. We confess, however,
that in our most sanguine moments we
did not anticipate mat all previous
records would be broken and that most
interesting Poland-China history would
be made during those six days. HAD
any one ventured to predict that single
animals would sell for more than $5oO
or that 264 head would be sold at an
average price of $50, he would have
been told that he was beside hlmselI
and that such prediction was impos-
sible of fulfillment. But nevertheless,
it has been done. We are exceedingly
glad to be able to say that the sales
as whole were entirely satisfactory.
Two hundred and sl-lty-four animals
were sold, as our reports show, Tor
grand total of s7,S09, lacking but a few
dollars of making an average OF S3o
per head. The one hundred dollar
mark was reached five times, the two
hundred dollar mark once, and tlve
hundred dollar mark once. e. w. Fos-
ter has the honor of selling the highest
priced hog of the entire circuit. j. M.
Klever sold two hogs for more than
S100 each. H G. Walker also reached
the $100 mark and so did E. E. Coler.
Mr., Coler likewise carried off the ban
ner for the highest general average.
Altogether the circuit was a great suc-
cess and proved that such a series OF
sales is most advantageous to both
buyers and sellers. We hope that other
swine raisers will follow the example
set by these Ohio breeders. We extend
to them our sincere congratulations to-
gether with our thanks for favors
shown and our best wishes for their
enlarged and continued success.

A Wonderful BOY.

In a picture exhibit the writer once
visited was a picture of an interior,
showing a thoughtful looking young
woman seated before a piano. On re-
ferring to the catalogue in expecta-
ton of finding some such title as "a
Musical Revery" we found instead 1t
was called simply Girl at Piano." A
picture might be painted and entitled
boy at Piano" that would interest
many people if young Pepito Ariola
should be chosen as the model. This
boy, Spanish child, but 31h years old,
has wonderful musical powers. They
were discovered by his mother, who is
a fine pianist One day after playing
some difficult classical music she shut
the piano and went into the next room.
To her surprise she heard someone
reproducing the selection she had just
played Re-entering the room what
was her astonishment to see her little
3-year-old seated on the stool playing
from memory with but few mistakes
the piece he had just heard. He can
not read music. but his ear for music
is so accurate and delicate that he
can at once reproduce any air that he
hears played or sung, with the orig,
inal variations, and others of his own
composing.

THE MODEL KITCHEN.

Things.

A Good Range Is One of the Important
Things.
Although the kitchen plays such an
important part in our daily life, it is
often, even in large establishments,
the room which is most neglected.
The model kitchen should have the
walls tiled, but if this is not possible,
have high dado of oilcloth with a
pretty varnished paper above, repre-
senting tiles; blue and white always
looks cool and clean. Linoleum or
cork carpet is the best covering for the
floor, and this must be a good one,
as 1t will get hard wear. A most i'm
portant thing is the range. A gas
stove is most useful article, and
saves both time and trouble. A good
roomy dresser with cupboards under
meath and drawers for holding clothes,
etc.. should occupy one side of the
kitchen. A good clock should be in
the kitchen, also slate for writing
down orders, plenty Of hooks for hang
Ing up things. and II there is no sit

A Dog Hero,

A Newfoundland dog in New York
City lost its life by fire one morning
recently, but saved its master AL
though the man, half-asleep, tried to
drive away the dog it persisted in
barking, even jumped on the mans
bed and barked in his face, until he
was reused to his danger. Then the
man tried in turn to save the dog.
But the stairs were on fire and the
Newfoundland would not jump from
the window. Mournfully bowling it
fell back into the flames. The fire
started on the first floor OF Bowers
boathouse on the Passaic River, oppo-
site Newark. Adam Helminger was
the man and Rex was his dog.

trying TO send his bright son of 10 to
prison because the boy was short IS OF
the thousands he has collected In rents
for his father. He publicly branded his
son as criminal in court yesterday,
and Insisted in pressing charge of en-
bezzlement.

lots that he can hardly count them The
son. Julius, has been the collector of his
enormous rents for two years. There had
never been penny missing from his ac-
counts until few days ago, when he
could not account for S3.
Then by "a peculiar happening he lost y.

slender, good-looking youngster told his
story yesterday on the stand when ar
raigned in special sessions before Judge
Barkalow.
IL appeared that one day when he had
balanced his accounts he discovered the
absence OF the s.. He said he told his
father that he must have lost the money.
but the old man went into a rage and ac-
cused him OF spending IL.
The boy stoutly insisted that he had
done no wrong; that he had not known
the money was gone until he counted II
at night. The father bitterly reproved
him and declared that he would have TO
find the missing money or take the con-
sequences.

Of some means by which he could get the

but tell the truth. lie went home with
a breaking heart, for he knew that In
trying To repair the first damage he had

The little fellow was weeping when he

In his determination not TO lie and TO take
