How Quality is Reduced

It is just question of evaporation. One
third Of the water Of raw milk can be taken out
by evaporation, or twice as much water can be
taken out. The resulting product Of both proc
esses will look and taste much alike.
But stop and think of the difference in cost
Realize how it will be when you come to dilute
the milk for use.

Fought Fish With All Axe.

to-day performed the unusual feat OF
catching a big fish with an axe.
Mr.. McEvoy was wading out to
trim off some piles that form the
foundation for the pier in front OF
his palatial summer home. Friends
on shore were surprised to see him
jump almost out Of the water, and
then swing his axe as If he were at

THE WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS.
Methods Used In the Campaign OF
Education I'm New York.

Were a war In the United States to
take of every year 10000 persons
we would be horrifed beyond meas
ure. Yet this Is the estimate of the
American loss from tuberculosis.
A feature OF the State campaign
has been a kind of tuberculosis revi-
val meeting, a mass meeting at which
the citizens are stimulated by speak
ers Of experience and wide reputation
to an awakened social conscience.
Recently the New York committee
distributed among the Italian tene-
ment house population 10000 coll
ored pictures OF a canal in Venice.
On the borders Of the hanging picture
are printed simple instructions about
the care and prevention OF the dis
ease.
Only five years ago the committee
on the prevention OF tuberculosis of
the Charity Organization Society of
the city of New York was appointed.
What has this committee done?
The handbook and the directory of
organizations, sanatoria and hospitals
for the treatment Of tn berculosis in
the United States not only have been
OF great assistance to pioneers In tu-
berculosis work, but have had a d.
rect influence in forming public opin-
ion and creating a general interest
in preventive measures all over the
country. The don't card, which in
simple language gives suggestions re-
garding the prevention OF tuberculo-
sis, has become a standard form of
literature for general didactic use.
It's circulation has literally run up
into the millions.
Lectures on tuberculosis, mainly
stereopticon. given during the five
years under the auspices of the COM
mittee. have reached an audience of
some 900 persons. The travelling
exhibition, containing
models. photographs, charts, ETC., has
been shown in many places in New
York City to probably half million
people.
In the summer of 1907 the COM
mittee resurrected for day camp pur-
poses an old city ferry boat, and
proved in one summer that at rela-
lively small cost increased weight,
good color and lasting appreciation
of fresh air and cleanliness can be
gained by consumptive 'stay at
homes"
Especially important has been the
establishment Of ten special tubercu-
losis clinics and the organization of
n system Of distinct dispensaries,
which prevent overlapping and dupli-
cation Of effort and look toward the

a circular telegram soliciting express

Division of Time.

Though the fundamental division
OF time, the day, appears intuitive to
most persons, 1t is we'll to remember
that in the arctic regions the marking
of this division is by no means easy.
During several successive months the
sun Is either always below or always
above the horizon, and the only
method-a very uncertain one of
distinguishing between day and night
Is to observe the times Of high and
low tide. Division OF time into
months comes from the motions OF
the moon. Malays, Polynesians and
Australian aborigines reckon time ex-
clusively by months and days.
That greater unit of time, the year,
characterized by the regular success
sion of the seasons, has presented the
greatest difficulties to exact determin-
alton, partly because the seasons are
not sharply distinguished In some re-
gions. partly because Of the universal
desire TO establish among the year,
month and day simple relations which
find no support in the facts Of astron-
omy.
Inhabitants of Venus. II there are
any, must find It extremely difficult
to establish units of time. Venus al
ways turns the same face toward the
sum- so the planet has no day, and
the lack Of a moon deprlves it of
month. Finally, it has no year, for
its axis OF rotation is perpendicular
to the plane of its orbit, and the lat
ter is almost circular.-Chicago News.

OKLAHOMA HONEY MINE.
OIL MEMS DISCOVERY IN The
HIGH LAND NEAR SAPULPA.

.~~~~s~~>~s>>~~~~~~~
Jerry Mckay, a well-known oil
man from Sapulpa, related very odd
story TO a Democrat reporter to-day.
II was that of bee sting resulting
in the finding of gold mine OF honey
In the rock banks near Sapulpa.
N. l.. Kelley and John CLANCY, two
prominent oil men OF Sapulpa, are
the parties implicated in the story.
Mr. Kelley and Mr.. CLANCY started
out Monday morning from Sapulpa to
drive to a we'll they are drilling on
the boggy land, seven miles west OF
Sapulpa. The men were about half
way to the we'll when suddenly they
were attacked by large drove OF
bees. The bees swarmed about the
buggy and stung the men and horses
until they were compelled to seek
refuge. They whipped up their team
and drove to the cabin of an Indian
named Watahee. Here they told of
their adventure and had the pain
alleviated by the Indian, who put
some kind of preparation on their
wounds.
In conversation with the Indian
concerning the occurrence they were
told of the many bees in the hills
and caves about three miles west of
Sapulpa. They did not believe this
story at first. He said that the In
dians around his cabin were getting
gallons of honey in the caves every
day. This set the oil men to think
ing. That afternoon they went to
the place he told them of. On their
way they met an old Indian woman
who was carrying two pals of spark
ling strained honey. This encouraged
them.
They came upon big post oak in
the field. This had been hacked in
several places and the honey was
dripping from the cut in the tree
into regular pools on the ground.
They did not stop at the tree, but
went on to the caves. AS they
neared the rock cliffs hey could hear
a droning like that Of signing pine
trees, so many In number were the
bees. AS they came closer they could
see a kind of black cloud lowering
before the rocks. There must have
been fifty big swarms of bees around
the rocks.
When they were close xp to the
cliffs they noticed huge cracks in the
rocks, and large holes. In these the
honey was dripping almost in small
streams. There were some twenty
buckets and pals setting in the rocks
catching the honey. The Indians are
said to break the cobs of honey with
sticks, and let the honey run out into
pals. A pail will fill in two days
time. 1t is said that the finding OF
this great bee industry by the oil
men accounts for the great amount
of strained honey the Indians have
been marketing. 1t was thought be-
fore that the Indians raised the bees.
The oil men say that the sand
stones In the cliffs are just saturated
with honey and little piece of stone
in a bucket of water will sweeten It.
The discoverers are at loss to know
how the bees came to be there. It
is said by Indians and other old
timers In this section that about ten
years ago an old Indian who had a
few bees was killed. 1t Is thought
by them that his bees went wild and
multiplied and increased in number
until at present there are millions OF
honeymakers.-Tulsa Democrat.
