MAKES CHEAP ICE CHEST.
Soap Box, Tin Cans, Sawdust and News

The fact that hundreds of babies
and children in the tenement districts
are made seriously III each summer
by drinking milk which has stood for
hours In a warm place and is teeming
with bacteria has caused the milk
committee of the Association for I'm
proving the Condition of the Poor to
introduce cheap. yet practical. ice.
box into the districts where the asso.
citation has established milk depots.
The box is homemade affair, says
the New York Times, which can be
built for less than 20 cents and will
keep a five-cent piece Of Ice for "a
hours.
DR.. Alfred F. Hess of the department
OF health is the inventor of this cheap
icebox, which is as practical as 1t is
novel. 1t Is made of an ordinary soap
box, two tin pals which fit one inside
the other, and bucket Of sawdust OF
a package of newspapers. The larger
pail is put inside the box and the in.
teryening space packed tightly with
either sawdust or newspapers. The
smaller pail is then. put inside the big
one. All that is needed to complete
the icebox is to put five-cent piece oil
ice in the inner pail. fill it half full OF
water and put a newspaper covered
top on the box. A bottle of milk put
in the inner pail will stay at tenn
perature OF 40 degrees for "a hours.
At such temperature bacteria cannot
multiply, and the milk will stay sweet.
While it was hoped that the milk
depots could be made self-supporting,
so few Of the poor people in the tene
ment districts can afford to pay even
the cost price of the milk that the
depots are maintained at present al
most entirely by public contributions
The committee estimates that 25
cents a week will provide one baby
with milk properly modified. This
sum also provides for the free ad
visOry services of the doctor and the
trained nurse at the milk depot of its
home district

Colored French handkerchiefs will

Salts of ammonia mixed with lime

Spirits of turpentine is equally good

Gum arabic starch is obtained by
pouring boiling water over the gum
arabic, then diluting it to the right con-
sistency 1t is an excellent starch for
pieces that are starched to dry and
must not be ironed.
Instead of trying to cream sugar
and butter for cake with q tiresome
spoon or knife blade. try using wire
potato masher This chops the butter
finely and blends the two with little
trouble in comparatively short time.
Japanned trays should never be
touched with boiling water for that
would cause the varnish TO crack and
peel off. To clean these trays rub
them over with little olive oil ane
then polish with piece of flannel,
which will absorb the superfluous oil.

Sweetening Butter.

Housekeepers often find that butter
bought for cooking is quite strong
The Germans have method OF
sweetening it which is efficacious. II
is as follows:
Put ten pounds of butter into g
porcelain kettle and boil steadily over
a good but slow fire until the sedi
ment in the pan is of pale amber
color. This will be in about five hours
Great care must be used for fear Of
scorching. Strain the butter while
hot into clean, small jars, not squeez
ing the cloth.
When cold, cover with oiled paper
and keep in a cool place from the air
This process imparts to the worst
kind of butter a palatable nutty flavor
1t is better than ever for ginger
bread or for any kind of plain cake.

The Power of Mind Over Body.

We hear great deal about the pow
er of the mind over the body. Why,
the whole secret of life is wrapped up
in It. We do not know the A, b, c
of this great, mysterious power,
though the civilized world is rapidly
awakening to it's transforming force.
The prophet, the poet, the sage, from
earliest times have felt and recog-
renewing power of your mind" Paul
admonished the Romans. IT'S the
mind that makes the body rich" says
Shakespeare. What we commonly
call man." writes Emerson, 1.-The eat
ing, drinking, planting, counting man,
does not, as we know him, represent
himself Him We do not respect; but
the soul, whose organ he is, would
he let it appear through his action,
would make our knees bend" To-day
even the prize-fghter, the uneducated,
as well as the educated, the man who
lives on the animal plane even as the
man who lives on the spiritual plane,
in fact, all sorts of people, are be-
ginning to see that there is some ire
mendous force back of the flesh
which they do not understand The
rapid growth of the so-called new
thought movement, declares Orison
SWEET Marden, in Success Magazine,
shows how actively this idea of mans
hidden power is working in the minds
Of all classes.

A Dainty for Children.

This is the time Of year when the
appetite Of most children becomes
capricious and mothers find it hard
to find things which tempt youthful
palates. Very often when this is the
case novelty of appearance will induce
a child to eat something which in its
familiar guise he has scorned. Among
the dainties that one mother construct.
ed for a child whose appetite fell off in
the summer was achieved by half
toasting cubes of fresh bread which
were then turned into a dish, covered
generously with maple sugar and
topped with whipped cream. Besides
being delicious TO the taste this dish
contains many nutritious elements.

Population and Industrial Activity.


Nautilus, In his famous treatise
cpon principles of population. de-
clared that the natural tendency
Coward increase is checked by made
quacy of means of subsistence; but in
our time this statement should be
modified; new industries, the develop
ment Of mines and extension Of COM
merce, directly or indirectly, furnish
means of support for increasing num-
bers and seem to create a demand for
human beings-causing what may be
termed a population vacuum. The
population Of England and Wales, for
example. in 1901, was 6,121,525; in
1851 the total number OF inhabitants
had increased but PA .315, or 3.5 per
cent. in SO years. After the middle
of the eighteenth century, however,
continuous increase occurred, amount
ing to 100000 in 1901, 100000 in
1851, and 14,500,000 in 1901. This
change was coincident with the crea-
ton of British industry and trade.
But If it be true declares w. S. Rossi-
ter in Atlantic, that the Quickening Of
industrial life has tended to increase
population, the present stationary con-
dition of population in parts of Eu.
rope, previously pointed out, and the
diminishing increase of population in
the United States, suggest the posi-
bility that what may be termed the
drawing power of natural and indus.
trial resources upon population has
eliminated. We are justified at least
in asking what influences upon in
crease of population, If any, are being
exerted by the marvellous economic
changes now in progress.

Those who are sure that the soil of
New England is hopelessly barren
may be surprised to learn some facts
that are brought out in two recent
bulletins of the department of agri.
culture. There were only eight states
of the union in 1906 that had a larger
acreage planted to potatoes than
Maine. Only four produced larger
crop. Not one even approached Maine
in the number of bushels to the acre.
The average yield was 210 bushels to
the acre, and no other state raised
more than 175 bushels. The average
for the whole country was only 202.
Nor was it an exceptional year, for
the average crop of Maine has been
the largest in every year since 1903.
Buckwheat is not a very important
crop, but 1t is raised in "a of the
states. In this, too, Maine stands at
the head in average crop per acre
New Hampshire is second, Vermont
third, and Massachusetts, fourth. Since
1900 the lowest average yield Of buck
wheat in Maine was 20 bushels to
the acre in 1906. The highest yield
In those seven years in any state out
side of New England was 221s bushels.

According TO a Newport authority,
fashionable women have taken to
wearing heavy double wells which
cross the face just above the bridge
OF the nose, leaving the eyes and
forehead bare. This style is adopt
ed just as Turkish women are giving
up wells, but it need hardly be said
that Newport women are seeking to
hide their beauty from the public
gaze; they merely wish TO escape
freckles.

Because Emperor William changed
