Paper Bottles.

a paper milk-bottle is to take the
place of the glass bottle, which is con
demned because it is almost imposs-
ible to cleanse them and keep them
free from bacteria. The paper BOTTLES
will be used but once. A popularity
about them is that they are made OF
woodtiber soaked in kerosene and,
strange as it may seem, the milk is
not affected in taste or smell. 1t is
found that milk will keep longer in
these bottles than in glass and that
milk may be shipped long distances in
them The kerosene saturation steri-
Lies the bottles; they are packed in
nests, the case also being sterilized,
and the cheapness of the package
makes it possible to bottle the milk
at the sources of supply and convey it
without change to the consumer.

FRIDAY EVENING CLUB.
Professor sumner, OF Yale University, (,
the speaker on Friday Last.

Professor Sumner, of Yale University,
the speaker on Friday Last.
The regular meeting of the Friday
Evening Club was held in the Lyceum
on Friday evening. President Fox
announced that the next meeting will
be the annual meeting with the cleo
tion of directors to serve for three
years in place of Messrs. r. D. Foote,
H. NJ. Smith and n G. Toms. He ap-
pointed as a nominating committee
Rev. w. NJ. Hughes, S. T. D., Messrs,

Washington, March 21.--Dr n. W.
Wiley, chief Of the bureau of chemis-
try, declares that science has done
much for the human race in the way
of increasing the average length Of
life. Progress in science, he says, will
soon put the limit of activity up to
ninety years "Start with good pedi.
gree, then live rationally,' was Or.
Wiley's summing up. He promulgated
four laws of health, the observance OF
which would put any naturally healthy
individual in fair way to realizing
the truthfulness of the scientists the
ory. These are heredity, temperance

Belief Entertained that the secretar.
of State Will Retire.


of State Will Retire.
Washington, March 21.-It is almost
a conviction in cabinet circles that
John Hay will not return to the post
Of secretary of state. All plans that
are being made by President Roosevelt
and his cabinet are based on the be
lief that Mr.. Hay when he stepped on
board the steamer for Naples retired
from public life.
The reason for this expectation is
Mr.. Hays bad health For months he
has struggled with weakened consti
tuition, and he expressed a wish to re
tire from the state department much
earlier than last week 1t was al
the presidents suggestion that Mr.. Hay
decided that he would announce nc
decision until he has tried the efficacy
of trip to the Mediterranean.
William FL. Taft, secretary of war, is
the presidents adviser during the pc
riod that Mr.. Hay is seeking to regain
his health. 1t is generally believed
that Mr. Taft is the man the president
will indicate for secretary of state II
