With firm tread and a masterful

in the sun, will the shade hurt it?'
"Oh, no, madam"

umphant, nowPve-caught-you air
You tell me 1t will thrive equally
well in sun or shade? Young man.
you don't know your business! Fetch

ILL HEALTH AND MoRHIDNEss.
Unfortunate Result Of Intense Passion
for Sympathy.

One of the tendencies Of i'll health
Is to make one morbid. People who
are constantly thinking about their all
ments. worrying about their troubles,
suffering pain. often develop a morbid
passion for sympathy. They want to
tell everybody of their aches and
pains, to describe their symptoms, says
a writer. Have you ever known a
woman who has acquired the doctor
habit, woman who loves nothing in
the world quite SO well as an oppor-
tunity to tell the doctor of her all
ments? She has poured them out to
unwilling ears, to forced listeners.
till she longs for some one who can
really appreciate it all, who sympa-
thizes with her in her troubles; 80
she sends for the doctor or goes to
see him. This becomes almost
mania with some women, who have
few outside activities to divert them
Their minds naturally revert to them
selves and they think of their unfor-
tunate condition until they become
saturated with the poisoned thought.

HEALTHFULNESS OF MILK.
This Quality Is More Important Than
the Richness of 1t.

We hear a great deal of talk about
watered milk and milk that runs be-
low a certain standard in proportion
of butter-fat. But the most important
thing to consider is the healthfulnesS
of milk. 1t will, however, be long
cleanliness of milk ahead of the quail
ity of milk as relates to the butter fat
in it. This perhaps comes from the
fact that for centuries while we had
no means of testing milk it was
judged on the amount of cream that
rose on it. Good, clean milk is very
desirable food product. If it could be
made always clean and healthful,
there is no limit to which its sale
might go.
Review, asserts that where poor
quality milk has done one dollars
worth of damage, dirty milk (Which
after carries disease germs) has done
$50 worth of damage. More than
once typhoid fever has become cpl
demic through bad milk, and scarlet
fever is often carried by it. More than
that, there are to be found in milk
sometimes ferments that bring about
the digestive troubles prevalent at
times in various localities. So, to get
the most good out of our investigations
of milk, we should pay the most at
tention to it's freedom from dirt and
ferments that produce disease.
