Against pasteurinzing MIX

Prof Behring. the famous Berlin spe-

as opposing the Pasteur system of puri-
flying milk. He condemns also the ster-
ilization Of milk and the boiling of water
to render them inocuous. lie says that
boiled milk is unsuitable food for in
fants. and that the boiling of water kills
the elements intended by nature for the
making of bone and sinew. True protec-
ton for those who use the milk of cows,
in his opinion. is the production of
healthy cows.

The strongest characters we have
are those who are constantly trying
to do those things which work for
good. Each success helps us to try
something harder. Christian En-
deavor work is not always enter
tanning but it is the drill which pre-
pares us for service. We do not
need large buildings or large for
tunes 20 work with, but we do need
young people with lives consecrated
to God, willing to come in contact
with sin and misery that by their
Christian zeal, their warm hearted
love of God and the right and dare
to do good, they may help to make
life brighter and better for the less
favored ones. Christian Endeavor-
ers of to-day if jealous can win vic

of Israel. In his care of the sheep
he had encountered the bear and
the lion but God had given him
strength to destroy them, so when
some one was needed to do battle
with The mighty Goliath he said, Il

faith? Because he knew God re-
membered. He knew his safety did
not depend upon Kings armor and
weapons but upon the armor of God
and his faith in Him. The fig tree
grew for fruit but it was destroyed;
so with the Christian life; it must
be alive for Gods service or it is

OBITUARY.
ANNIE NJ. BURNETT.

Miss Annie Margaret Burnett,
only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
+. Burnett, died at her home in this
city at 80 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, August ~, 1907. Miss Burnett
had been in failing health for several
years. Four years ago she had an
attack oftyphoid fever which seemed
to weaken her power of endurance
and always after she would fre quent-
ly complain of lasSitude. She was
attacked with tuberculosis, but at
what time this insidious disease COM
menced its inroads is not definitely
known but in the middle of the
winter the disease had so far devel-
oped as to show marked symptoms.
From the first Of last March it was
seen there was little hope, but every
possible effort was made to stay the
ravages of the disease and since
spring she had lived night and day
practically in the open air, Mr.. Bur
nett having built a lean-to with
screens on three sides, an apartment
that she occupied.
Annie was born in this city Aug.
%, 1883, and at the time other death
was "a years and 4 days old. She
attended the Normal school until
her sickness four years ago. She
was a lover of music and had so per-
fccted herself in the art that she
taught it successfully, and the most
of last year had music classes at
Goodhue and Zumbrota, MINI. She
was from a child characterized for
her tilial and amiable virtues and
was much beloved by large circle
of friends. Ia her long and painful
sickness she manifested the greatest
patience and answering hope was
a sustaining force against the enervat-
ing effects of disease almost to the
last.
To the grief stricken parents, who
are Frustrated by their irreparable
loss, the sympathy of this whole
community is extended.
The funeral is held from the house
this afternoon at 2 100 o'clock, Rev.
d. b. Spencer conducting the SER
vices and the remains are laid to rest
in Greenwood cemetery.

A town will prosper in proportion
to the local public spirit manifested
by it's business men And this pub
lie spirit, to secure marked and per-
manent results, must be manifested
in unison, in general agreement.
The squirt of single individual to
secure some public advantage to
the town will amount to nothing if
not supported by the majority. Of
| ten a town stands still, or goes into
decadence, because Of the jealousy
among it's business men. The eff
forts of the individuals to advance
the public veal is nullifed by the
efforts of others to discredit the dis
interestedness of honest promoters.
Meadows and pastures have kept
green, the grass growing right along
49, T,51x1 IN
place have we seen grass turning
brown from drought and heat this
season. There has been sufficient
rain so that lawns needed no
artificial application of water to
keep the grass growing right along.
This condition has been favorable
for the power plant. This is the
third consecutive season that rains
have been so abundant that lawns
needed little irrigation. The pump
at the electric power plant has been
able to furnish all the water needed.
In very dry season it is likely that
both pumps would need to be oper-
ated at times, when the lawns need
ed watering.
Our attention has been called to
three mistakes printed in the JOUR-
NAL last week. Those mistakes
cannot now be corrected in that
issue. The only thing we can do to
make amends is to say we are sorry,
with the apology that we didn't do
it on purpose" Livery" should
have been lively" we slumped in
using singular predicate with a
plural subject and used "5" for
20" in speaking of the date of the
beginning of the public school. The
type of the figure 2 upside down
looks so like a that the devil mis-
took the one for the other and in
reading the proof we didn't notice
it. We read these proofs over three
times and yet mistakes occur, as
they will in the best of families. In
reply to a criticism in regard to
these little slips we would ask in
the language of Pokeshake, who's
