Right Way to Boil Milk.

Many mothers are very careless in
the matter of boiling milk before they
give it to children. One of the sim
plest methods of boiling it is to pour
the milk in an enameled saucepan,
placing this in an iron saucepan of
cold water. This water should then
be brought to the boil. Without re-
moving the lid of the saucepan con-
tanning the milk the water should be
kept at boiling point for four minutes,
and then removed at once. cooling be-
ing accomplished as rapidly as posi-.
Bile by standing the milk saucepan in
several successive changes of cold
water, the cover being, however kept
closed until the milk is cold. The
milk should always be aerated be.

ring it rapidly with spoon for a few
moments.

But all officers, as we'll as men, had

that he would have to place himself
in the hands of the examining doctors
at Worcester.
Now, Maj Whipple, while man Of
great bodily strength and perfect
health and activity, was little de-

There is no more perpleXing trouble

the patient every day sinks lower and

similar experiments.
That DR.. Williams Pink Pills win

proved in hundreds of cases similar
to that of Mrs. Sarah Ramsey, of 1908

The way to keep children IN school
Is to make the school the most valua-

best interests Of customers can be

If anyone imagines that railroad
expansion in this country has reached
its limit, or that there is any sign OF
a check upon American industrial
growth, he should not summon James
j. Hill as witness to support his
pessimistic contention. Mr. Hill, one
of the foremost railroad men of the
age, is out with declaration that the
congestion of traffic is so great from
one end of the union to the other
that the only certain way out is tc
construct new track on an enormous
scale. He says $5,500,000,000 could
be spent to advantage for this pur.
pose alone. Add to this the cost of
corresponding equipment, and one
may form some conception of the
public need as seen by this keen and
practiced observer.

The windfall Of benencence to
American education naturally arouses
something akin to envy on the part
of foreign institutions which are not
so well favored by private munifi
cence. The duke of Devonshire, chan
cellor of Cambridge university, issues
an appeal for $7500,000, which he
says is sorely needed, British news
papers support the appeal, and in
articles on the subject allude to the
poverty of English colleges and the
splendid gifts of Americans. and also
lament the Indifference of English.

garding which outsiders should hest
tate to comment But it is not
wholly out of order to note that some
of the largest benefactions to educa
ton and charity in the United King
dom have come from American citi
zens.

of the roads in that vicinity and what

building and other structures at the
agricultural farm, was placed on gen

II 100000 for the erection of a wing
at the Kearney normal school, there is
liable to be a big fight on the approp-
ration for the university. 1t is said
there will be less than $50 pupils en-
rolled at the agricultural farm next
years, while there is liable to be / 300
ol the Kearney normal school. mas
much as there is over $1,000,000 to be
appropriated for the Lincoln institu-
ton, there Is some feeling that an even
distribution Is not being made. Some
contend that no appropriation for the
university should be made out of the
general fund, as the one-mill levy will
be sufficient under proper management
to meet all the requirements of the in
stitution.
