How to Drink MIX.

We live by digesting and assimilat-
ing food and not merely by eating it.
Milk as food builds up and forms body
tissues and fluids and repairs waste.
When taken slightly in excess the I'M
used portion, mostly butter fat, is
stored in the system for future use.
AS is well known, fluid milk and vichy
is wholesome drink for many who
cannot assimilate milk alone A pinch
or two of salt in glass of milk will
produce a similar result. 1t aids in the
easier digestion Of the curds as formed
in the stomach prior to digestion. 1t
is wise for the possessor of weak
stomach to sip glass Of milk slowly
instead of drinking it hurriedly. The
larger the quantity of milk taken at
one draft the greater the difficulty of
its digestion. 1t may not be generally
understood that hot milk taken into
the system is almost Immediately alb
sorbed. 1t is stimulating without reac-
ton. Charles Elley Hall In Leslie's

Mrs. r. {. Tut, Electrical Engineer


Show sensible, intelligent woman
how to do anything and she can do it.
The father and brother Of Mrs r. e.
Tut were mining engineers at Billings,
Mont, and she herself learned much
about establishing electrical and other
power plants. After some years she
removed to southern California. Few
of the towns in that part Of the state
had electric lights. Mrs. Tut, perceiv-
ing that the installation of electric
light and power plants would be very
easy when one knew how to go about
the business as she did, applied to the
town of San Pedro for franchise to
erect an electric plant She got it and
soon San Pedro was brilliantly lighted.
Not long afterward the town of Long
Beach, too, wanted Mrs Tut to give it
electric lighting, which she did. sup

Mrs Tut has been successful finan-

bin Uncle Enoch learned that the
''grandest aggregation was In town
and that the unparalleled street pag-
eantn was about due. SO he waited.
With grim enjoyment Uncle Enoch
watched the brilliant spectacle impas-
sively. Old Jeff merely pricked up his
ears in curious interest as the process
sion moved along in its dazzling
course.
sZaretti, bareback queen Of the
world! On her famous Arabian steed
Abdu.lah! Presented to her by the
shah Of Persiag'
Thus read Uncle Enoch as he follow
I'd the printed order of parade with
Toll grimed forefinger.
For a moment Uncle Enoch's gaze
was held by the bareback queen, who
looked languidly into space over the
top of the tiger cage. Then he stared
hard at the "far famed Arabian steed, !"
gift Of the impulsive shah. Said steed
was caparisoned in gorgeous saddle
blanket hung with silver fringe. A
silver mounted martingale dangled be-
tween his knees. Holding the silk tas-
seled bride rein and walking In re-
spectful attendance was groom In
tight fitting riding breeches and a
cockaded hat which rested mainly on
his ears. The horse was of white, mot
tied with carrot red in such striking
pattern that, having once seen it, one
could hardly forget.
Gee whilikinsw said Uncle Enoch
softly to himself, as if fearful of be-
traying some newly discovered secret
But Old JEFF was moved to no such
reticence. Lifting his head over the
shoulders of the crowd, he pointed his
ears and gave vent to a quick, glad
whinny of recognition. The sfar famed
Arabian turning SO sharply that the
unwary groom was knocked spTawling,
looked hard at the humble farm horse
and then, with an answering high
pitched neigh, dashed through the
quickly scattering spectators. 1t was a
moment of surprises. The bareback
queen of the world was startled out Of
her day dream to find her Arabian
steed'' rubbing noses with a ragged
coated horse hitched to a battered
farm wagon, in which sat chin whis-
kered old fellow, who grinned ex-
pansiveiy and slyly winked at her over
the horses heads.
"It's all right, ma'am. / won't let
on" he said.
Before she could reply the groom,
who had rescued his cockaded hat and
his presence of mind, rushed in and
dragged the far famed steed back into
the line of procession.
sWaal, swan to man eff Old JEFF
didn't know that air Calikef afore /
did," declared Uncle Enoch as he de-
scribed the affair to Aunt Henrietta.

Mile. Zaretti did not swan to man, .
whatever that may be, but to this day
she marvels concerning the one and
only occasion when her trusted Calico
disturbed the progress of the 'grandest

cant.
