Mr.. Goodson returned from Illinois

Lawrence Frost has moved INTO his

Farmers are busy planting corn so

The Center correspondent week before
last wrote quite an article UNFOLDING
atheism. We did not agree with every
thing he said and would like tn present
our views. We wish to say nothing that
will cause hard feelings. We want to
see truth triumph and are willing to
grant that he is searching for truth,
too. He said that we cannot see the
misery and suffering in the world and
make it harmonic with the rulings of a
God of justice. Man has the choice of
good or evil and in every case misery
and suffering are, directly or indirectly,
the result of sin. He asks us to study
the laws of cause and effect. Let us 60
back nineteen hundred years, to the
time when Christianity entered the
world and watch the effect it has had
on the nations that haye adopted it.
In every case they have grown stronger,
tine Standard Of virtue has been raissd,
and we see on every hand its beneficial
effect. We do not believe that human
laws and sympathies would hold socie-
ty together. AS Charming says:
" Erase all thought and fear of God from
the world and man would become, in
fact, what the theory in Atheism de
clares him to be-a companion for
brutes.

MANY mothers imagine If they have
boiled nipples and laid them on the
window sill to dry in the sun that all
the germs are destroyed. That is all
wrong. The warm sunshine only
warns the little stray germs into life"
Two folds Of the sterilized cheese
cloth were then laid OH piece of
clean, unpairted board-a kneading
board is good thing-and the bottles,
necks downward, were dropped into
the interstices of q wire rack and al
lowed to drain on to the cheesecloth.
The nipples were dried with piece of
the same steriliZed material and then
wrapped in cheeseel0th. The remain
der of the cheeseclOth was folded up
in the sterilized towel and put away
until time to go through the same pro-
cess in the evening.
The milk should be prepared twice a
day-mornings and evenings: that is,
enough should be prepared at one time
in the morning to last all day, and in
the evening to last until next morn
ing. More than that should never be
sterilized, because, while the milk may
keep sweet much longer time it loses
much of its nutritive power if allowed
to grow the leas. bit stale.

then its milk is not agreeing with it,

Immediately. The healthy baby will
increase in weight between certain
ages, while at others it will remain al

In just what proportions to dilute

mothers through the columns of news

lated to answer this question. That is
something which the physician alone

Trouble with Tho signals.

One Of the chief subjects of the dis
cussion among the captains and mas
tiers of vessels is the difference be-
tween the Canadian and American
marine rules which govern navigators
in Canadian water during foggy
weather. The signal used, according
to the Canadian rules during fog, is
one long blast of the whistle, to be
blown at short intervals, or the ringing
of a bell. The American signal is
three short blasts. With this differ.
ence in the law captains and masters
find some difficulty during foggy or bad
weather, especially when vessels are
passing one another in the Welland
canal and such places. During the re-
cent foggy weather much difficulty was
experienced In this respect at the en-
trance of the Welland canal at Port
Dalhousie. Navigators of both coun-
tries recognize the great disadvantage
they are at with this difference in their
danger signals, and do not hesitate to
say that a uniform code Of signals
should be adopted by both countries
making it an international law.-To-
ronto Telegram.
