A LITTLE OF

A Comfortable Conscience.

I have Numbered my conscience WIN
infinite pains,
And have ironed it dandy and fine; =.
I've rubbed and I've scrubbed at Its Nari-
Gus stains,
And the washng's hung out on the me
And the whole city sees as II laps III
the breeze,
What a nice little conscience is mine!
It's true that the I've took the color all
out,
And the irons have scorchcd it-gee
WnZ.
Ard the washing machines tore Dig holes
that about
Made rags of the whole blOomin biz
But I've stolen a march, omitted me
starch.
LAnd you don't know how comfy 1t is!

Unconscious Irony.

A New England man says that one
night last winter when the thermometer
fell below zero, his wife expressed her
concern for the new Swedish maid who
had an unheated room.

they now have little show Of success
when opposed by the Tillmans, Davises,
Vardamans. BY appealing 10 class
hatred and race prejudice these men
win the political honors and then pro-
coed to misrepresent and injure the
South at Washington and before the
people. They are the Hearsts of the
South, and are only prevented from be-
coming a national menace because of
their locality and because they lack the
sinews of war which the New York
Hearst possesses so abundantly.

An anniversary which will doubtless
be observed in 1907. especially in parts
of the South is the centennial of the
birth of Robert f. Lee The Southern
newspapers are talking up the matter
and urging a fitting commemoration in
honor of this man whose name the
South holds so dear. On paper, the
Nashville American. urges that the
celebration should be national rather
than Southern, and declares that mo
man in the records of the English
speaking people stands higher than
General Lee. OF Americans, he and
washington are easily first, and as a
military genius he was greater than
washington. and ranks with the few
immortals" This is superlatiye praise
and can hardly be endorsed by students
OF English and American history. Lee
was military genius, a man of noble
ana olameless life, and a leader tn
whom his followers were most strongly
oeVoted' but there is little justification
Tor picking him out as the first Ameri-
can' or second only to Washington

agree without hesitation to those
perennial and most excellent treatises
which declare that worry is a steal
thy foe Of all health, mental, moral

Worry, we know, is all this and
more. Nobody has ever discovered
any good in it, yet few of lis are
feminine enough to resist it, because
1t seem heartless not to worry! In
some curious fashion worry and love
are so inextricably entwined in the
feminine consciousness that the aver

P%ASTEURIZE0 MILK.
COMPLEX &c AND vALuABLE PLANR
Is LOCATED HERE.
An Industry That Is Receiving Atten-
ton and Endorsement From


: Martinsburg is now supplied with
a plant equipped to efficiently p~asteur-
ize milk, having in it the latest and
most improved type OF pasteurizer.
II is understood that some of che
physicians are strongly endorsing this
enterprise and regard ii as a very
valuable addition to the town from a
health point Of view. Milk thus
treated does not require the addition
of chemicals to make it keep and has
already proved of value to many
children and invalids in the town.
The proprietor has invested quite am.
amount OF money in the enterprise.
and as it is one that promises to prove
valuable and beneficial for the town
We bespeak for him the usual fair and
liberal support Martiushurg aecords
every desirable industry.
The treatment OF milk, known as
pasteurization after the celebrated
French scientist. Prof. Pastenr is
receiving much attention at this time
everywhere. The method is very,
simple. After RAINING the milk
through a clarifier to remove ali dirt
aud foreign substances from It'll. I'll is'
passed through a machine which firsu
heats it raTidly to above 100 degrees,
of heat bat below 100 and then as
rapidly cools it down to a low tenn
perature. This simple process
destroys e~ffectually ell hursful
germs that so infest milk. and makes
it a perfectly safe article OF diet for
even the weakest stomach. At the,
same time the milk is in no way
injuriously affected as in steriliza-
ton, but retains all of its nutritiva
qualities.
