COLORlNG IN MILK.
Utah Food Commissioner Tells How
It May Be Detected.

There are several ways, according
70 John Peterson, food commissioner
Of Utah, in which the presence OF col
oring matter in milk may be detected.
If an aniline dye has been added TO
give a rich, creamy appearance 10
thin. blue milk, little vinegar mixed
with the milk, after first heating the
latter. will produce curds OF a dis
tinctly orange hue. If caramel mas
been employed the curds will turn
brown with the addition OF the vine
gar Whenever milk or cream is al
lowed to stand in a clear glass bottle
for - hours or more it will separate
into watery and creamy layers. II the
lower layer is yellow it is a PROOF o.
the presence of artificial coloring O
some sort, and whenever milk o,
cream is kept in a warm place for a
hours, and still remains sweet 1t II
nretty safe to assume that a preserV

Eor the Home pressmaker.

Not a few home dressmakers over
look the fact that when putting on
a collar the neck of the bodice or
blouse should be slightly smaller
than the base of the collar band and
the bodice notched here and there
while putting the collar on. BY 90
ing this wrinkles are avoided. Again,
when cutting out sleeves, to avoid
the disaster of cutting both for tne
same arm, fold the material eltner
face TO face or back to back. Place
the pattern on it and cut both TO-
gether. A proper pair of sleeves Is
bound to be the result.
Make the under part OF the sieeVe
double so that it can be darned, as
this wears out sooner than the up.

NOTES ABOUT NEEoLEWoRK.
How Many Dainty Dress Accessories
May Be Easily Made.

Linen bags, either in white or COL
ors, and embroidered in the owners
own monogram, are one OF the latest !
whims of fashion, and very sensible
one it is, for these bags not only give
a finishing touch to the linen cos
tune, but can be put in the tub al
most as often as the gown itself.
The possibilities of short lengths Of
ribbon and lace, bits OF linen, lawn
or silk are simply wonderful, If they
happen to fall into skilled hands,
while even the veriest amateur can
produce really charming results, sup
posing her taste is good, and all at
little or no cost beyond industry.
While you are planning the things
to take with you on your summer trip
don't forget to make laundry bag or
| two. A gayly printed cretonne bag Tor
closet or room door IF you are pressed
for space is boon, and what is even
more satisfactory is big bag made
of white or unbleached muslin, IN
which to send the. clothes away. IL
should be plainly marked with your
name written in indelible ink.

DECAY OF IMAGINATION.
Assertion Made That Civilization Is
Not Only Killing Poetry, But
Sense Of Humor.

An Italian scientist thinks that civ
ilization is not only killing poetry,
but the sense of humor. Both de-
pends upon the seen object suggest
ing other things to the mind, in one
case congruous. in the other inc0n-
gruous. Science has made our minds
more rigid so that we see only what
We see. More rigid" means less Vi.
talized.
Under new conditions at hand. we
shall get back our vitality, shall once
more have some to spare, once more
be able to see the naked visible in'
its proper robes. Imagination is the
seeing Of real relations. Il is seeing
what we feel ought to be, which.
when sane. is deeper seeing OF what
they are. Humor is Imagination re-
laxing herself and playing the carl
csturist. While she lives at all, she
must be permitted to recreate. She
thriVes on the surplus age OF mental
vitality.
Nordau dwells somewhere on the
tendency OF arti6ts he calls degener-
ate to paint everything more or less
violet. One would suppose that every
color, like every sound. must be yield
ing its overtones. Amy one can see
the color as IL stands. II takes an
artist to see-feel, ''imagine"-its
oyertones and bring them down for
us.-Student in the New Century.

HARVARD MANS GRACE.
Familiarity Of Petition Shocked Ar
izona Men Gathered for Thanks
giving Dinner.

A story is told about a young fell
low just out OF Harvard, who went
to Arizona to find out what II was
like. He was affected in his man
ner. after the English fashion, and
around the neighborhood soon be-
came something Of a Joke.
When Thanksgiving came, all the
men without homes dined together.
and before the feast It was arranged
that the Harvard youth should be
asked to say grace. The boys wanted
to find out what sort Of training he
had received. When the gentleman
at the head Of the table requested
the favor Of him, he hesitated a mo-
ment, smiled weakly and lIsped:
"Ouh Fathehl" with uplifted finger.
and then Jolly good lunch; thanks
awfully, old chap"
