Avoid This Kind of Pail.

The use of the strainer in a pail
where the dirt which falls into the
opening is likely to be driven through
by the succeeding streams of milk is
not desirable It's use tends to in
crease the germ contents of the milk
and injure its keeping quality.

to the situation. At the same time it

TENDtRLOIN TINY
YIELDS TO RELIGION
Result of Being Inveigled
Into Meeting.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Jan. IA
(SpeciaD Tiny Goldie, of the Ten
derloin got religion last night
She is called Tiny because
she is so small She was nick
named Goldie when she first made her
appearance in the Tenderloin some
80 odd years ago. Then she had
real blonde hair and it is her
boast that she never used peroxide.
Her face was fresh in those days
when the low music halls flourished
and her figure was trim. She was so
very small and SO very naturally
blonde that they called her Tiny
GoIdie and the name stuck.
She is an old woman now but
she still lives in the Tenderloin. Her
figure is, shriveled and her face is
crossed by thousand tiny wrinkles.
Tiny Goldie came walking down
Eighth street from Vine last night.
She had her pitiful little bunch of
pencils in her hand, the same bunch
she carried for months
At the Bijou theatre she saw
crowd going and took her place at
the entrance to sell pencils. She was
invited in and finally accepted.
An usher handed Goldie a square
piece of cardboard. On it were print
ted a score of hymns. The piano
struck a preliminary chord comets
blown by a girl, man and a boy
blared out and the worn-faced, flash
ily-dressed men and women about her
began to sing. Goldie kept her mouth
shut. But when the chorus rang
out she found herself humming in
spite of all her resolves. 1t was the
GLORY to Me" revival song that
was being sung. Goldie found the
voice which had sung such different
songs in the years gone by and she
lifted it up as high as she could
Then another man began to talk.
He told how he had been sinner He
said there was chance for every
man and woman to be happy if they
would only open their souls. And
when he called the women sisters"
Goldie choked up. She felt for al
handkerchief which she didn't have
and began to CRY.
