"A. r. Hillard, our popular "Man on
the Road" has accepted position in the

Ono who claims to possess accurate
knowledge on the subject, says: Milk is
more nearly complete food than any
other substance, yet the kind of milk re-
quired at different ages differs greatly.
A child needs "whole" milk, rich and
creamy. The earth's salts in it build up
his bones and supply energy for his in
cessant activity. The sale of skim milk
is properly forbidden in cities, because
children there use it most; but for per-
sons of fifty or over skinned milk is
actually better.
People should take pains to be agree
able, says the philosophical editor OF the
Punxsutawney Spirit. III temper is
habit, and very unpleasant one. There
is a great deal of snarling and sulking in
families and between husbands and
wives that could be avoided if all would
study to please instead of trying to dig
up things to grumble and find fault about.
1t is an old saying that nobody was
ever scolded into virtue" Gentle re-
proofs are always more effective than
''grievous words" which "str up anger"
and the "soft answer, which turneth
away WRATH" is always an evidence Of
culture and good common sense.

The ladies of the County w. G. L. U.
held their annual picnic on the beautiful
island at Nebraska last Thursday, and
according to all reports enjoyed royal
outing, though the attendance of men,
bers from remote parts of the county was
not what those present could have wished
for. The viands were abundant, whole
some and very "toothsome," and 1t goes
without saying that the appetites were ol
a character 10 appreciate and enjoy the
LAYOUT" The pleasant occasion was
brought to close in time to allow all to
reach home at seasonable hour and feel

1t is said State Zoologist Surface is
preparing to send to each county in the
state collecti on of snakes ioundin Penn
sylvanis, with chart, showing the food
of the various serpents, the ramification'
of the snake family and the geographical
situation of the various species. The
snakes will be used for educational pur
poses, so that the teachers and pupils may
be able to recognize the varieties from
their appearance and know whether they
are poisonous or not. This is very, very
important, and it is hoped Mr.. Surface
: will rush along his snake exhibit int
every county where an anxious populact
may study and learn about them. Snakes
are such menace to human life, abou
one person in forty million dying every
year from their venomous bites.
