A Storm as Pictured by tho Weather
Bureau and by . Poet.
In commenting ON the fact that a
person may be thoroughly equipped on
the scientific side of music without
being sensitive to it's beauty as an art
Gustav Kobbe in his book How to
Appreciate Music" quotes the witty
distinction which Edmund Clarence
Stedman draws in his Mature and
Elements of Poetry" between the indi-
cations of storm as described by a
poet and by the official prognostica-
tons of the weather bureau.
Mr.. Stedman gives two stanzas:
When descends on the Atlantic the 81
gantic
Storm wind of the equinox.
Landward in his wrath he scourges the
toilins surges.
Laden with seaweed from the rocks.
And this stsnza by a later balladist:
The east wind gathered, all unknown.
4 thick sea cloud his course before.
He left by night the frosen zone
And snaote the cliffs OF Labrador.
He dashed the coasts on eFher hand
And betwixt the Cape and Newfoundland.
Into the bays his armies pour.
All lblS IhpehsSudeloA anu AdnSs are
translated by the weather bureau into
something like this:

rapidly moving up the Atlantic coast,
with wind and rain. Storm center now

May Take a Hand in the In
Spection of All Milk
Sold Here.
Department INTERESTED.
HAS WATCHED THE VARIOUS Eff
FORTS ON PART OF BOARD OF
HEALTH TO BRING ABOUT BET
TER CONDITIONS LOCALLY.

Ivan c. Weld, first assistant Chief
bureau of the United State Agriculture
al department, has notified DR.. Char
les Bond. secretary of the local board
of health, that he will be in this city
some time the latter part of this wee
for the purpose of delivering lecture
on milk inspection, a question which
has been agItating local consumers
and dairymen all over the county for
some time.
This lecture will be given before
the Anti-tuberculosis league and it is
expected that there will be large
crowd present. The exact date OF
Mr.. Yields arrival here will be an
nounced later.
The department officers at Wash
ington have been taking the keenest
interest in the fight being waged by
the health officials of this city for the
proper inspection of meat and milk.
The agricultural department has
shown it's sympathy for the local
health authorities in this movement
by assigning federal meat inspectors
to this city. Now, it appears, the
Washington government intends to
take a hand in the proposed enact
ment of a satisfactory milk inspection
ordinance.
Mr.. Weld is known as an authority
on dairy matters and what he has to
say on the matter will probably carry
great influence. He has always ad,
vocated thorough municipal milk in
spection on the ground that milk is
the best agency possible for the trans
mission of tuberculosis and that NO
successful fight against the great
white plague can be waged until az
over the country steps are taken pro-
viding for proper milk inspection.

CHILDREN UNFIT THEM
SELVES FOR BUSINESS
Claims Work in School Only
For Graduation.

New York, April 14.-Mrs. NJ. M.
Caldwell of Ohio, in a lecture on
Life as a fine art-in relation TO the
arts of life to an audience composed
exclusively of women, said:
Boys and girls work too hard at
school, thus uniting themselves for
the real business of life. They work
for the glory of graduation, and true
education is lacking in them"
Mrs. Caldwell declared education
was bought too often with an impaired
physique as the price, and that high
state of mental cultivation thus OBJ
tanned made a girl a detriment rather
than a blessing to the race, since she
was untitled for her real mission in
the plan of creation.

Photography.

Practical photography first saw the
light in 1889. On Feb. 81 of that year
Talbot, who had obtained permanent
prints and camera images as early as
1885. published his process. Daguerre's
was published on Aug. 10, and some
where between those two dates Ponton
in a paper read at the Royal Scottish
Society of Arts made known to the
world his discovery that soluble or
ganic matter in the presence of an al
kaline bichromate was rendered insolu-
Bile by exposure to light, a discovery
the value Of which was not recognized
for some years, but which is the basis
of all that is included in process

The Dark and Bloody Ground.

Before the white man began to ex-
plore Kentucky, about the middle Of
the eighteenth century, the region was
vast hunting ground for many large
tribes of the south, north and east,
and between these tribes there was
continuous conflict for the possession
Of the rich game privileges. Later on,
when the white people settled in the
territory, their struggle with the red
men was more bitter and persistent
than in almost any other section of
the continent hence the sanguinary
name that was given to the territory,
THE Dark and Bloody Ground."-New

tions and now I am entirely well.
The whole family like Grape-Nuts,

are welcome to use this testimonial

The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food. is that II

and therefore does not tax the stom.

It also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system.
II that part of the human body is in
perfsc. working order. there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the engine.
When the nervous system is run
