A Smile Is the Provocative os Man.

H OtfttiS - tH0 EF0tvHatN~ " "@"s
 Nothing on earth can smile but man! Gems may flash reflected light. but what is q diamond fash compared to an eye-fiash and . mirth-nash! Flowers cannot smile; this is charm that even they cannot claim. It is the prerogativs of man; 1t is the color which love wears, and chesrfulnsss and joy--these three. It is light in the windows of the face. by which the heart signifies it is at home and waiting. A face that cannot smile is like bud that cannot blossom and dries up on the stalk Laughter 10 day and sobriety is night. and . smile is the twilight that hovsrs gently between both-more bewitching than either.-Henry Ward Beecher.

Nathan Straus sends . message to American mothers to the effect that raw milk is not good for children, the scientific men of the world hay ing agreed upon the fact Milk should be Pasteurized and the mother can do this herself in her own Kitchen. The international congress at Brussels warned against raw milk, because of the danger from tuberculosis. IL Is not the poor alone who need instruc- ton upon the subject. as many of the babies of the rich suffer from the effects of raw milk. but Americans are said to know more on the subject than people of other countries.
