Mold on Parchment Paper.

Many of our readers use parchment
paper for lining the boxes in which
they pack their butter, and now and
then they have trouble with mold
that appears on it and which not in
frequently gets into the butter. The
parchment paper is for the purpose
OF preventing this very thing. The
mold generally gets into the paper
when the latter is allowed to lie for
some time in ice boxes, refrigerators
or storage rooms in which the mold
has already developed. The mold
cannot grow spontaneously but comes
from minute seeds called spores. I'm
less these spores were on the paper
there could be no growth of mold.
When the parchment paper was lying
where mold was growing the spores
ripened and fell on this paper. II the
paper is kept in dry clean places
where no mold ever appears it will
not in turn develop mold when it is
placed in contact with the moisture
that comes from the butter. Spores
cannot grow without moisture. When
such paper has been subject to con.
ditions that would make the growing
of mold possible the best way to pre-
vent the development of the mold is
to soak the parchment paper in a
strong brine in which has been mixed
one pound of formaldehyde to three
gallons of brine. This soaking will
not injure the parchment paper, but
it will kill the spores Of the mold
When the same brine is to be used
several times in succession it should
be boiled between times to make
doubly sure that the spores do not
| escape.

Exhibiting Butter.

The maker of butter, whether on
the farm or in the creamery, fire.
quently asks the question if it pays
to make an exhibit Of butter at any
of the various shows where oppor-
tunity is given for that kind of a dis
play. 1t certainly does pay to ex-
hibit butter, both for the effect it has
on the general public and for the
influence on the one making the ex-
hibit. The cost of making an exhibit
is slight, and the attention Of the but
termaker becomes centered on the
methods necessary to produce good
article. 1t is proverbial that every
farmers wife believes she is one OF
the best butter makers in the country.
The grocer that buys the butter dares
not tell her that she does not know
how to make butter, if she cannot, but
the butter judge at the fair or show
will have to give her that information.
The movement among farmers wives
to learn more about ALTERNATING is
a good one, and every one OF them
should be encouraged to do her best
and send her product to the butter
show. The same is true of the cream
cry buttermaker. The managers of
the creamery can well afford to pay
$40 or whatever it costs to exhibit
butter. just for the sake of getting
more information on how their own
butter looks when judged from the
standpoint of the butter Judge.

A Warninu to M others.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard
against bowel troubles. AS rule it
is only necessary to give the child a
dose of castor oil to correct any dis
order of the bowels. Do not use any
substitute, but give the old-faShioned
castor oil, and see that it is fresh, as
rancid oil nauseates and has
tendency to grippe. If this does not
check the bowels give Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and then a dose of castor oil, and the
disease may be checked in it's incipi-
ency and all danger avoided. The
castor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once and kept ready for
instant use as soon as the first indi-
cation of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in cases of
cholera infantum. For sale by

In dealing with the young people
who leave school early and the after
conditions of each, Late Young,
editor of the Des Moines Capital, says.
"The boys of Des Moines who are
tired of going to school, should COM
NIT the following to memory: The
average educated man gets salary OF
1000 year. He works 40 years,
making a total of $4,000 in life
time. The average day laborer gets
$3.50 per day, 800 days in a year or
$3.50 per year. In A years he earns
$4,000. The difference of 1000
equals the education. To acquire this
earning capacity it takes twelve years
at school of 100 days each, or 2,16O
days. Divide $22 900, the value OF an
education, by 2,180, number OF days
required in getting it, we find that
each day of school is worth more than
$40 to the pupil. "-Long Prairie

Except for the feature suggested by the fore
going conversation the situation at the big solitary
Seabrook Beach Hotel was by no means peculiar.
The guests could all be included under the usual
Classihcatons. There was the proverbial pTeponder
of young women, the consequent deepening of
conscious self-mpOrtanCe on the part of the masCu
line minority the inevitable interest in the previous
worldly and spiritual histories of casual acquant-
anCes, and the more easily understood absorption
of chaperons in events then in process of rapid
retarded evolution.
John DeCamp had been at Seabrook Beach for
nearly two months, and during that entire time the
young man had oscillated in a way which the spec
tatOrS the Veranda chairs found bew1lder1ng not
to say irritating, between Alice Wesley and Martha
Brayton. The marked thing about these vibrations

under the circumstances were almost inseparable,
that observers were often at loss to determine
the particular direction which DeCamp's atten-
lions were at the moment taking.

was commonly held, beautiful

a thing?" asked DeCamp,

"Of course" replied Tenn

again on the soft, warm sand
of the beach where the two
were lounging. THE idea
that genuine love affairs must
be successive, rather than
synchronous, is a fiction, pre-

object to the truth. 1t can't
