The Care of Food,

This is cutie as important as the
proper cooking of it, and very COM
netent cook may be very careless in
;he matter. Milk takes impurity if
uncovered very readily, and although
you pay little more for bottled milk
you may find an uncovered pitcher of
t or the bottle with the lid off stand
ng on the table. The kitchen sup
plies should include plentiful as
,ortment of cheese cloth covers, sew
,ral large ones for general purposes,
and variety of smaller ones for spe-
,ific uses. The covers should be
1emmed, and should be kept immacu-
ate. The cheese-cloth is easily laun-
lered, and porous enough to admit air
20 the food it protects. Rigid disci-
oline will be needed to enforce the
lse of the covers or any protection of
ihe food that puts servants to extra
rouble or forethought. 1t is wise,
however, to overlook other shortcom-
ngs until you have established sani-
ary conditions in the kitchen.

Brigands in the Caucasus.

The Russian Government has at
last adopted what promises to be an
effective measure for suppressing the
lawless bands of robbers who have for
years past held various districts Of the
Caucasus in state Of terror. Some
swo years ago the military authorities
1t Tifl;s came to the succor Of the peo-
pie by distributing arms and ammuni-
lion among them; in many instances
machine guns were furnished to the
phiefs OF mountain villages and isolated
settlements in the plains. For time
he raiding banditti suffered severe
sosses, but by organizing regular
pitched battles against the villagers
and settlers they again got the upper
hand. A body of $500 military and
mounted police, all picked men, has
now been organized for the special
purpose of exterminating the pest,
which is particularly prevalent in the
bwo governments OF Kutais and Kars.
No quarter will be shown to the brig
Ands offering resistance, and those
taken prisoner will be tried by court
martial and shot or hanged offhand.

From Washington
How a Little Boy was Saved.

Washington, D. C.-sWhen our boz
was about 16 months old he broke out
with rash which was thought to be
measles. In few days he had s
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be mumps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered q
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became running sore
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered blood medicine. A
neighbor told me of case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I decided to give
it to my boy and in short while his
health improved and his neck healed
30 nicely that I stopped giving him the
medicine. The sore broke out again,
however, whereupon I again gave him

The shuttles accompanying the cloth
were of dark wood, and were well
polished, as if they had been used to
a great extent. Whoever made them
was well versed in the use of wood

Tucks ON Everything.


The vogue OF the tuck is something
startling. Everything is tucked from
milady's hat to the bow on her dainty
evening slipper.
The shirt waist revels in tucks un-
til one is ready to vote the shirt which
boasts none a sorry affair. Then
there's the entire bodice, for evening
wear or otherwise, which is tucked.
And very beautiful it is. In some
elaborate instances the entire dress
is tucked to below the knees.
Then there's mere tucked yoke;
most dainty little finish in taffeta for
taut little blouse bodise. The tucked
guimpe is the yoke plus sleeves,
though it is tucked in the opposite
direction-crosswis that is. The one
pictured in the large illustration is ol
mousseline.
AS we all know the world of lingerie
rests on . foundation of tucks. A few
ornament the palmer specimens, while
the splendid sorts are masses of tucks,
tucks bias, tucks straight, tucks in
lattice effect, tucks without number.
So much for the tuck, and it Seems
that the ''latest tuck" is to get az
many tucks as possible.

stv,e of the New Corset.

Corsets are important factors OF
dress. The new corset is absolutely
straight in the front, curving in only
at the sides and back. Corsets are
left very loose at all points above the
waist line, where they begin to tighten,
and the hips are laced snugly. This
gives the required decided dip in the
front of the waist line. Everything is
done to stand correctly that these
lines may be produced.

An Attractive "ChiIdren's Room >

If there is any room in the house
which is destined to receive the over
low of furniture, broken and mis-
matched odds and ends, you may de-
pend upon it that room is the nursery
IL ''children's room"
Many mothers wonder why their
little sons and daughters are SO fond
Of running the streets, preferring al
ways to be out of the house and away
from home. Exercise in the open air
is the best sort OF exercise, but every
hing can be overdone and the chill
lren should be taught that some part
,f each day must be spent indoors.
1t does not always occur to parents
hat the simplest explanation of their
,hildren's desire to be forever on the
90 is because they have no place at
home sufficiently attractive to hold
hem there.
The nursery should lie made place
If beauty to the little ones. Instead
,f half-worn and cast-off furniture it
should be furnished with an entire
lew set. Oak furniture is never ex-
oensive and is bright and cheerful in
living-room.
One of the prettiest adjuncts to
,hild's room is a picture screen.
Make the screen of plain blue or red
lenim on light wood frame and fasten
he pictures on it with small brass
oaper clamps. Every child has its
own collection of photographs and
picture cards, and when these are ar
.anged artistically the effect is dainty.
A toy closet with ample shelf room
another requisite of the nursery.
The children should be taught that
ibis closet must be kept in order or it
will soon show an accumulation of
litter. A weekly renovating will keep
t fairly clean.
If there are cushions in the nursery
shey should have good strong covers
If denim, fastened on by buttons and
oAttonholes so that they can be readi-
ly removed and laundered when
soiled
The draperies for the small toilet
tables, curtains, ETC., should be of
dne white muslin capable of enduring
.nnumerable washings. 1t is we'll to
nave two sets if possible, so that they
nay be changed every week or so and

IN TIE LOCAL FIELD.
SOUTH NEwFANB.
The Late Eliza Ann Kelsey.


Eliza Ann Kelsey was the daughter Of
Hubbard and Anna (Stratton) Kelsey,
born in Marlboro on Stratton Hill Jan. II,
1910, one of eleven children, of whom six
are now living She lived with her parents
until 1864. She was married to Chauncey
Bailey in 1861, and for three years they
lived on her mothers place, now owned
by Charles Ingram; then he bought the
place on Stratton Hill which she owned up
to the present time. They had seven chill
dren, four sons and three daughters, all of
whom survive her except one daughter,
who was drowned when only two years old.
They lived at one time aud another in
Westfield, Mass Bellows Falls, South
Charlestown, N. H.; in all these localities
Mr.. Bailey was engaged in the business of
making soap.
Finally they returned to their farm in
1874. He repaired and fitted up the
buildings, and they lived there until his
death in 1885, The widow then moved to
the village of South Newfane to the house
owned by her brother, Frank Kelsey of
Claremont. She married for her second
husband j. W. Kelsey in 1885, He sur
wives her.
Her parents were both of them religious
people and members of the Baptist church.
In 1850 very extensive revival started in
this community during the pastorate of
Elder Stearns, and a large number were
added to the church, among the rest the
subject of this sketch.
Her interest in the church continued
from her union with it at the early age of
ten to the time of her death. In all its
affairs she was influential, her first hus-
band also being one of its valued workers.
When her health permitted she attended
all its services, and was also an efficient
contributor to the support of church and
pastor. She will be greatly missed in all
the spheres of her life both public and
private. Her last days were spent with
her daughter, Mrs. E. W. Stratton of Ag-
AVIAN, Mass, where she died Dec. A.

Down with the Cow Bonrder.


There are two varieties of cows. Note
carefully:
1. The COW that give more than she
eats.
2. The COW that eats more than she
gives.
Which COW would you prefer in making
up dairy herd? Which variety do you
actually have?
Now there is no difficulty about telling
the COW of one class from the COW of the
other. There used to be; but there isn't
now. The Babcock test does it. The ap-
paratus consists of a small scale, a Bah
cock test and little gumption. By test
ing each COW separately a man can soon
tell which ones are paying a profit and
which are merely bOarders. When feed is
scarce and high, as it is in some parts of
Vermont, dairymen will find it more than
usually necessary to weed out the boarders.
