TONIC IN A SUN BATH.
In Most Cases Better Than Any MedI.
 cine Taken Internally.

Some one called the sun Gods anti septic and sterilizer, and certain it is that not half the people on the earth realize how large a part sunshine can play in cleansing, purifying and mak- ing whole.
 No one can overestimate the value of a sun bath, and each year you see an increased number of children, wrapped up from the cold and com. fortably tucked into the perambula- tors, on the sunny end of the piazza, getting the benefit of this greatest of natures tonicS.
 Sun baths that are taken as a rem edy for rheumatism, or to ward against sleeplessness, have better ef- feet if they are followed by warm sponge. If they are taken for any skin disease (and in such troubles they are exceedingly valuable), they should be followed by warm bath.
 Even when there is no special dis. ease to fight, but just a sense of lan- guor and fatigue, and a rundown aer- vous system, the sun bath will do good work-better than medicine. Herald.

Too Rich to Travel.

Camille van Crestenberghe, his wife and four children were marooneo in Aberden all night because of the fact that they had too much money.
 Van Crestenberghe, who Is said to be a wealthy merchant of Detroit, Mich, had been visiting with his fam fly at Ipswich, s. D. They came here to take train for Detroit. In pay ment for their tickets Van Cresten- berghe rendered the station agent a $1,000 bill. The agent could not change the bill, nor could any one in town be found with money enough to break the bill. As consequence the family were compelled to remain in Aberdeen all night and to await the opening of the banks next morning before they could pursue their jour. ney.-Aberdeen Correspondence St. Paul Dispatch.

 Does this paper publish societ! news?" he asked
 Yes, sir" replied the young man at the desk. We insert any kind of news. What have you?"

CLEOPATRA AS SHE WAS.
Historians and Poets Have Given Us
 Diverse Characters.

On the paG.es of Plutarch and Dion Cassius-so far as we are concerned exists the one and only Cleopatra of history writes s. R. Littlewood, in London Chronicle. Quite undoubtedly for any one who reads these without prejudice the Cleopatra who emerges is above all the Cleopatra of political necessity the vigorous, able and un. scrupulous queen, fighting for her throne and dynasty by every method In her power
 In the Cleopatra of the unadorned story there is remarkably little hunger and thirst after unrighteousness for it's own sake. Each one of her immor- al armours had it's political purpose.
 As for her suggested decadence, 1t is significant that she was most ex- cellent mother to her children-not only to Caesarion, but to the three she had by Antony, of whom the two cid est sons were twins. She is charged nowhere with any unnatural vices. and the money she lavished on Antony's pleasures was mostly his own. Also 1t is worth remembering that at her best she was not beautiful, but lively, racy and good company"
 Now, out of this real, strenuous, practical Cleopatra what diverse won- ders have not the poets created!

Birmingham 7, LitfIe Rock 2.

Birmingham, May 27.-After the second inning there was little to the second of the Birmingham. Little Rock series, the Champs putting it all over their foes, z to ,. The visitors made big bluff in the first round of ciinching the game, but the old hoodoO was working and the Vaughnless Barons won their fourth straight victory from the Coltish aggrega- tion.
 Lakatf, the big southpaw Finn secured from Detroit, essayed. to twirl for the visitors and with his terrific speed looked good at the beginning of the game. How ever, after having retired the first five men who faced him, he suddenly lost control and two bases on balls and hit sand wiched between them filled the sacks. After three balls had been handed to Turner without a strike being called, the big twirler was hurriedly called to cover, Buchanan succeeding him on the mound.

The layer of straw should be heavy enough so that when the last layer of earth is put on that the straw will form four or five-inch thickness.

Something for You
 to Think About

In 1897 the Southwest Arkansas Tele- phone Co. started business in Prescott. At that time copper wire cost Il 3-4 cents per pound. Now it is 25 cents. In spite of the increased cost of mater ials and operation5 the rates are no higher now than then.
 The local toll and farmer line ser- vices reaches nearly every part of the county. The long distance service is splendid.
 If you. do not now have telephone in your home or place of business you should have one installed at once.

FORMAllN IN MILK,
'ss Use Does Not Render the Milk Sterile.

The use of formalin or formaldehyde ih milK does not render that milk ster. iie. as many have supposed. Formalin when combined with a certain pronor. tion or water is called formaldehvde ana Tn articles and discussions is therefore practically the same the diff. terence being only in the strength of the solution used. Profs. F. D. Ches. ter and T. R. Brown, of the Della. ware station, have been making some thorough investigations into the use or this preservative in milk. They as- sert their belief that if formaldehyde were used at the rate of one part of the formaldehyde to 10000 parts of miiK the results would not be iniu. rious to the health of the persons us. ing the milk, while the milk would keep two or three times as long. as it wouiu II not treated. The professors uo not say so, remarks the Farmers heVlew, but the fact is that if milk men and others are allowed to use lormal1n at all there is no probability that they will be so exact in their ap. phcatlons of the poison as to use only one part in 10000 Every milkman cannot afford to hire a chemist or even a pharmacist to carefully figure out the proportions of the formalin to be used in the milk. This is what endangers the life of the public using such milk.
 The professors named draw the fol. lowing conclusions from their investi. gations:
 l. With different .milks containing the same quantities of formaldehyde the time of curdling varies within rather wide limits. dependent upon the character of the bacteria in the raw milk and upon slight variations of temperature
 Z. With different milks containing different quantities of maldehyde. the amount of formaldehyde bore no exact relation to the time of curdling.
 3. With milk containing one part of formaldehyde to 2,000 parts of milk to one part of formaldehyde to 800 parts of milk there was a rapid de- crease of bacteria during the nrst 24 hours, after which there was . slow decrease. until. by the end of five days, the milk was practically sterile or contained only resistant spores.
 4. With milk containing one part of formaldehyde to 5000 parts of milk there was rapid reduction of bacte- ria during the first four to six hours, but continuing throughout the entire "A, after which the bacteria continued to multiply, at first very slowly, then at very rapid rate
 5. With milk containing one part of formaldehyde to 10000 parts of milk there was in some cases a slight re. duction in numbers during the first "A hours followed by very slow in. crease, then by rapid increase. In others there was a very slow increase at the start followed by a very rapid increase
 6. With, milk treated with one part of formaldehyde to 10000 parts of milk there was a slow increase during the first 24 hours, followed by rapid increase.
 '. With the one to 10000 solution the increase of bacteria was rapid at the start. but not so rapid as in the case of untreated milk

The Englishman's Mistake.

The difference between English
and American methods of pronun-
citation often produces misunder-
standing. The other day an
Englishman who had just arrived
in New York went to the Waldorf
Astoria. He was bit lost for a
minute just where to find the reg
lister book, the Waldorf office being
divided in several departments,
one for the information bureau, !"
and another for letters, and so
on. The Englishman finally stop
ped at one of the departments and
inquired whether. it was the desk
of the hotel clark" No." was
the reply, this is the Waldorf
Astoria hotel" Through saying
clark instead of clerk, the
young man at the desk had taken
the Englishman to mean Hotel
Clark.

the trunk, which long ago ceased to
