PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

Recognizing the necessity of imme-
diate and determined effort for the
protection of the children Of this COM
munity against the demoralizing inhu-
ences that are multiplying in these
latter days, the Juvenile Court COM
mission, Of which Governor Cutler Is
the president. has issued an appeal to
the citizens, which should be carefully
read, and acted upon. The Governor
urges the appointment Of probation ofIi-
GERS to serve under the Juvenile court
Judge: the establishment of deten-
ton school, and the enforcement Of the
Curfew ordinance.
In the financial straits In which the
City now Is, owing to the mismanase-
ment, or worse, of the party in power,
there is little hope of any appropria-
ton for the benefit of the children. or
the preservation of public morals, That
would be contrary TO tho policy oil the
powerful tenderloin wing of the party.
But the Curfew ordinance the parents
themselves might enforce with but Ut
tie. or no assistance of recalcitrant
police officers.
1t is Il fact that crowds of boys are
often seen to congregate at street cor
ners at night in the deep shadows Oh
the trees. There they smoke. tell de-
moralizing stories, plot criminal ex-
ploits, annoy people that pass by ana
SO on. The police officers could easi-
lv disperse such crowds and notify the
MIL tn
at home at night. or watch over them'
as 1t is their duty to do. But. there
is very little to expect from the ofhcers
until the people themselves assume the
control of the affairs of the city. sun,
public opinion Is a power. and II should
be exerted In favor of the recommends
tions made by the Governor
But after all, the parents can 90 most
effective work with regard to the re-
demption OF their children. BY good
example they can strive to lead them
i'm the direction they want them TO go.
BY taking them to Sunday school ana
Meeting they can further influence
them in the right direction. They can
make the home a place loved by the
children, by proViuihs 'ho tAe'-
of amusements and entertainments
They can make the home the sanctuary
from which the heavenly influence
emanates. And all this without mueh
expense. OF course, when all Is done
by the father and mother that love
and wisdom may suggest. children may
still go astray. No human enort Is
perfect. But it is certain that the
earnest effort of parents to keep their
children in the path they want them
to go, will be successful in most cases.
There is too much negligence In this
regard If the appeal of the Cover
nor and his associates in the commits
sion, is needed, good will result to
this community.

1t is hoped that the new route from

cept a six-hour trip from Korea across

BEST WAYS OF
HANDLING MILK
By George p. Grout. North Oa.
kota Agricultural College.

For many years past. dairy authori-
ties have held that milk and cream
would not absorb bad odors from sur
rounding atmosphere after milking un-
til cooled to temperature equal to or
below that of the surrounding atmos- :
phere and it was further believed that
milk gave off animal odors when warm
er than the air and absorbed others
when colder. For this reason dairy
men in general did not hasten to re-
move milk from the barn until con-
venient, and often left it there until
cooled nearly to the temperature of
the surrounding atmosphere. Late in
vestigations on milk absorption have
disproved these facts, and it is now
held that warm milk will take on bad
odors just as quickly as the cold milk.
1t is very obvious, therefore, that the
milk should not remain long in the
! barn. The quicker it can be gotten
out of the barn the better IL good re.
suits and high price for the butter ia
expected. Besides absorbing bad odors.
many Of the changes which take
place in milk and it's products are
caused by the growth of tiny bacteria
or plant life which multiply very rap
idly under favorable conditions. II
the best results are to be expected. the
milk should be kept as free from all
forms of filth and dirt as possible as
filth and dirt contain millions of the
tiny forms which may grow and spoil
your milk and cream
The farmer or producer should use
all possible precaution to keep out all
forms and trust to the butter maker
to put in the proper kind to produce
the desired flavor. 1t is just as neces
sary that the butter maker have
full control Of the cream as 1t is that
the housewife have full charge of the
bread making. The housewife uses
yeast to sour her bread and the butter
maker uses starter to sour his cream.
Either would sour without these, but
the housewife knows very we'll that
she would make poor quality of
bread without yeast. The butter max
er knows he can make only poor
quality of butter without good culture.
but | have often heard the question
raised as to the Importance of keeping
cream sweet until delivered to the
factory. The producer should strive
to prevent unfavorable bacteria from
gaining entrance into the cream, then
keep it cold and deliver the product
in sweet condition for the butter

TEACHING THE FACE TO SMILE
How to Keep From Becoming an Old Woman Simply
BY a Trick of the Mouth.

"A woman first shows her age in |
her mouth" said woman who makes
a study of the face. "As soon as a
woman loses her ability to smile east
ly, she is an old woman.
GA child's face is all smiles; the
face Of youth ripples quickly; the
mouth of a girl Of eighteen is all
curves and prettiness. But as soon as
woman becomes mature her mouth
loses its tendency to curve. She be-
gins to droop and that is the beginning
Of old age for her.
THE mouth of any young animal in
dicates playfulness. It is young and
smiling, so to speak. But the mouth of
the aged will always show a dullness
and a droopiness. AS soon as cares
begin to come the smiles go.
I'm woman the tendency to smile
disappears at different ages. There
are women of thirty who laugh easily.
By laugh do not mean that nervous
tendency which is called giggle. But
mean genuine ripping laugh. There
are women of thirty who laugh as east
ly as girls of sixteen, but they are
few. The mouth Of thirty is usually Il
settled one, without curves, without
dimples, without prettiness of any
kind. 1t says at the corners and it
shows that the woman has reached the
age of thoughtfulness, of maturity, of
cares, Of sourness.
IF were giving advice to woman
would say keep your mouth young.
Exercise the muscles at the sides of
the face and keep them active. These
muscles are very delicate and they
move almost of their own volition.
How important, therefore, it is to keep
them in good condition.
"The muscles of the face, and par
ticularly those around the mouth, are
SO delicately constructed that they
need the greatest care. They require
discipline. If one does not discipline
them they will tWttch. Who has not
known the annoyance of set of
twitching muscles around the mouth
and lips. If they are not massaged
they will grow dull and heavy; and ii
they are not disciplined they will grow
set. After awhile the mouth muscles
| ~ AOL Il dlACu w ldAS CttIS vi lIlSul
selves-will actually refuse to act.
There are old women who cannot
smile. The mouth has lost it's sweet
ness. This means that the muscles
will not contract; that the mouth will
not work itself into smile. 1t is sc
out of practice that sweet, pretty ex
preston is impossible.
If were advising woman how tt
keep her mouth young, would tell hel
to massage it every day. There are
five movements for the massage o
the mouth. The first is upward, work
ing from the outer corners. Press
the thumbs at the opposite corners o
the mouth and gently push upward
This exercises the muscles that con
| troll the outer edges of the mouth, the
muscles that form the Cupid's bow.
"The second exercise is that O
> molding the upper lip SO that it will
. curl upward as one laughs. Take the
c thumb and press it at the outer corner
of the mouth. Then gradually worl
q the thumbs inward until they meet
