One morning when Mrs. Bernis went into

was the time to nip the fault in the bud.
So, seating herself near the fretful child,
Mrs Bernis folded her fat arms impressive

Great Virtue in the Apple.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Many persons Of excellent judgment VIII
tell you that the apple In Its perfection Is
the finest fruit that nature proVloes ior
man. It is not a matter OF SURPRISE there-
fore, that an enthusiastic apple lover IS de-
voting his time to the formation OF apple
c,uhs He holds that apples and optimism
ara almost synonymous terms and makes
many astonishing claims regarding the
haneecial effects of the fruit. OF all the
neculiar beliefs that are designed to en-
peee the attention of mankind none is less
harmful than this of the apple CLUB. The
niessure as we'll as benefits that liking
for fruit will bring him. We are not the
fruit-loving people that our forefathers
were. and il the promoter Of the new cult

the time when all tongues were still to tell

A Clean Milk Object Lesson.
From the Winnipeg Telegram.

From the Winnipeg Telegram
Last February the dairy department al
the Manitoba Agricultural College under
took to dispose of milk to city customers.
In less than three months the demand was
greater than the supply. MIX from the
college is sold in winter at ten quarts for II
and in summer at twelve quarts for 81.
other milkmen in Winnipeg have prices
ranging from twelve to fourteen quarts for
ri in winter and sixteen to twenty quarts
for 81 in summer. Why do the consumers
pay the higher prices? Simply because tney
know they are getting l. product OF high
quality. The product as it comes from the
producers is run through separator to
clarity It.: 1t is pasteurized: the milk ana
the cream from the separator are mixed In
such proportions as to give the consumer
4 per cent cream. and all vessels and uten-
sils are sterilized in steam.

A Co1ored Cinderella.

As Aurora Maria Bernis was a quiet
little girl with pleasant voice. she did not
think her nickname of Roarer a suitable
one. She was little colored girl of about
eleven years. with snow-white teeth and
kinky hair generally worn in short. tight
braids that stood out from her small head
in many directions, like those OF the i'm
mortal Topsy.
Her widowed mother was washerwo-
man. and as the oldest of seven children,
Roarer was kept busy. with no special re-
ward for her work. so that she often grew

VANCE L. sHEARER
Fined So fer Using Wrong Numbers ON
HIS Automobile.

Vance L. Shearer, who ran over and
killed a young woman two weeks ago
was before the West Haven police
court yesterday, charged with substi-
tuting numbers on his automobile. At
the time of the accident Mr.. Sherwood
machine did not bear the proper num-
Der and 1t was for this violation of the
law that he was fined IS and costs of
$lS.25 yesterday morning
Mr.. Bush said that Shearer did not
use substitute numbers with any in
tention to evade the law, but simply
because his own numbers did not come
In time for him to use them. Mr.. Bush
said that the fine was made light on
this account
The next arrest In West Haven for
this offense will probably result IN a
heavy fine, and possibly a Jail sentence
for in cases of this nature a. wrone
number on an automobile would lead tc
the arrest of innocent victims, and the
West Haven authorities are determined
to put an end to this sort of business

Given.

Skinner, charged with breach of the
peace on Fred Robinson Of 141 Butler
street, occupied a considerable length
OF time in the city court yesterday
morning, when this case was before

some Of the witnesses had committed
perjury
In passing judgment Judge Mathew
son said: II was convinced last We'd
nesday that some of the witnesses were
not speaking truthfully, and I am sat
isfled now that my suspicion was cor
rect, as one of the witnesses at least
has materially changed his evidence"
His honor then fined Lane $25 and
costs and Skinner $40 and costs. He
placed Lanes appeal bond at $3.50 and
Skirners at $3.50. There is a likeli-
