THE American consul at Dunferm.
1 line has furnished a guide to
suckers in a report warning the
American tourist what not to buy in
the way Of antique and art objects.
Prefacing his remarks with the
statement that even a man with much
money cannot take 30 day CORE
spondence course in art and antiquity
and then tell what he is buying, he
points out these familiar receptions
that are now being hung up abroad for
rich Americans who are thirsting for
artistic environment:
Robert Burns Chairs Bobbie did
not keep an installment furniture
house, and what the constable did not
take, buyers long ago have.
MARY Queen Of Scots Tables-The
queen was rather migratory, owing to
circumstances, and did not carry many
tables around with her.
"Shemeld Plate-1t il mostly mod.
ern, aged with processes that are new.
"Engravings and Prints-Ancient
copies are turned OF the press every
day for the fish from America.

Observation-Disclosures man on the
W streets here on June Is wore a
tag by string from his buttonhole. It
was q plain cardboard tag such as the
express companies use, and it did not
add to the appearance of ones dress,
but It saved money and holdup to
wear it. June 13 was tag day in
Washington. Tag day was a device
to squeeze dimes and quarters out of
every pedestrian for the benefit Of q
CASTOR children's playground. It was
pretty mean man who would not
hand out dime at least once for q
tag. 1t was an excessively heightened
or reckless one who would not wear It..
No dime, no tag. No tag, no peace.
The holdup of wearers of untagged
coats occurred every Is feet. Some.
thing like $1,000 was realized as a re-
suit Of the ''holdups" for the play
ground.
Children peddled the tags in all
parts of the city, and no man escaped.
There were store tags, house tags,
! automobile tags, cab tags and personal
tags and five-dollar tag that made
the owner immune from attack in all
quarters. The store tag cost dollar,
likewise the house tag. Every woman
was held up in every store, and it cost

FOOD VALUE OF MILK.
Prof. J. 3. Lindsey Makes Strong A.
qument for It.

The food value of milk is brought
out forcibly in a recent pamphlet
written by Prof. J. B. Lindsey of the
Massachusetts College of Agriculture
and published by the state board Of
agriculture.
Milk of average quality at market
prices furnishes more food for the
money than do more expensive kinds
of meat, such as beef, mutton and
pork. and is much cheaper than such
special foods as eggs or oysters, or
most vegetables and fruits. Only
breakfast foods. ETC., are cheaper
sources Of energy than milk. A glance
at Prof. Lindsey's table shows that
milk at six cents a quart furnishes
the same amount of protein as round
beef at Is cents or roast pork at IL
cents. That is to say, dollars worth
of either of these foods contains an
equal amount of protein. Even where
milk is sold as high as ten cents per
quart, dollar will buy as much pro-
TEN when spent for milk as if spent
for lamb chops at Is cents per pound,
sirloin beef at 80 cents or eggs at
sc cents per dozen.
Prof. Lindsey thinks milk should
occupy a larger place in the daily
diet than is ordinarily given. In ex-
periments at the Maine State College
it was found that when the students
were allowed free use of milk the ex-
ira milk consumed replaced the other
animal food to nearly corresponding
extent. and the milk diet was not only
less costly than the meat, but was
fully as satisfactory. When skim milk
is used the food value is obtained at
even less cost since the value as a
food does not depend very much on
the cream, and at the price at which
it is valued in most country districts,
about one-half a cent quart, it is one
of the very cheapest foods, and can
be used to advantage in place of water
in cooking, adding greatly to the val
ue of the foods with which it is mixed.
Hardly any food returns so much of
It's food value because there is no loss
in cooking and no waste. It is pala.
table, easily digested, and according
to Prof. Lindsey is entitled to be
| classed among the most economical
human foods.

play Schubert's 'Serenade.' "All

then laughed and told me to carry the

angular writing had scored another

cream and all, if it has set for while,
and heat till about milk warm.
We then dissolve one-half of No.

cold water, stir it we'll into the milk,
and add one tablespoonful salt to the
milk, and then stir. We remove it
from the fire and let stand from three
to six minutes, when it becomes thick,
like clabber. AS soon as it becomes
solid clabber it is ready to break up.
We then stir the clabber, or curd, as
it is called, which separates the curd
from the whey, and let it stand until
the curd settles to the bottom.
With the hand We press the pieces,
say one inch thick, put into crock,
and over it pour hot water. It is then
stirred with a spoon, and let set till
it seems tough, like leather, which
will be in about three minutes. We
again cut in pieces, as it has run to-
gether, salt as for butter, and it is
ready to be pressed.
For the press we take gallon
syrup can and melt off both ends, and
make ends for the can from oneinch
boards to just fit inside. We set the
can over one board and line it with
well-greased cloth, long enough to
fold over the top. Pour in the curd,
fold over the cloth, and put on the
other board. 1t is then set where it
can drain. 15-pound weight is placed
on top, left for "a hours, and then
removed from the press. We take
off the cloth and grease the cheese,
lay it on plate in screened box
and grease and turn it every day I'M

to take his customary drive on horse

was tagged twice. A beautiful young
woman held him boldly In front Of the
White House Friday, which was day

cheerfully and said it was worth it.
But he forgot the tag when he saun-

was dashed to the mast there in no
time after two automobiles drove up
filled with daintily clad girls, who
piled out and worked the thoroughfare
and White House grounds to finish.
The girls then ventured into the sa-
cred precincts of the White House and
sought Mr.. Loeb, but could not find
him. Learning that he, like the pres

both just for luck.
