GAME warden
MADE A Catch
Negro Who Wanted to Shoot Birds
Out of Season Was Arrested by
Emmett Lee This Morning.

Emmett Lee, the new Forest county
game warden, made his first arrest
this morning when he captured Jim
Donald, a negro, on a charge of vio-
loating the game laws. 80
1t seems that Donald could not bear
to see the nice, rlc;lp quaiis roaming
about the bushes and withstand the
temptation to shoot a few, so he pro-
ceeded to load up and go forth to
bag some. His gun was not equip
ped with a Maxim silencer, however.
and Game Warden Lee, attracted by
the explosion of his shells, investi.
gated their source and discovered
Donald in the act of making a shot.
He was promptly arrested and con-
veyed to the county Jail, where a
charge of violating the game laws
was entered against him.

FACTS ABOUT MILK
IT FURNISHES oNE-SIxTH OF THE
HUMAN FAMlLY'S FOOD.
Contains Many Bacteria Whose Growth
Must Be Checked to Keep It
Sweet-Two Common Meth.
DDS of Preservation.

Some idea of the Importance of milk
as human food may be gained from
the fact that about one-sixth of the
total food of the average family is fur
nished by it and its products, says a
bulletin Of the department Of agricul-
ture.
| OF the various mammals whose milk
| is used for food in different parts of
the world may be mentioned the goat
in the hilly districts of Europe, the
buffalo in India, the llama in South
America, the camel in desert coun-
tries and the mare on the steppes of
Russia and central Asia. Sleeps milk
is used in some countries for making
cheese and in other ways, and the
milk of reindeers is commonly used as
| food in the arctic regions. With us
the milk of the COW so far surpasses
all other kinds in Importance that I'M
less otherwise specified the word milk
is taken to refer to cows milk only.
Good, unadulterated milk should
contain about 81 per cent. of water
and 13 per cent. solids.
Milk contains bacteria of many
kinds and in varying numbers. They
cause the souring of milk as well as
the ripening of cream and cheese, and
produce many other changes in the
appearance and flavor. The number
present in freshly drawn milk varies
enormously with the conditions Of
milking, and, as they are greatly in
creased with dirty and careless
handling cleanliness in all matters
pertaining to the milking and market
ing of milk and keeping it in the home
cannot be too strongly insisted on.
Disease germs, notably those of ty
phoid, diphtheria, scarlet fever and
tuberculosis, may also be carried in
milk. so that the purity of the milk
supply is of vital Importance to every
family and community.
The problem of keeping milk sweet
is one of checking the growth of the
bacteria; and as they are inactive at
temperature below so degrees
Fahrenheit. milk should be kept in a
cool place. Two common methods for
preserving milk are pasteuriZation and
sterilization. In the former the aim
is to apply heat in such way as to
kill most of the bacteria without pro,
ducing undesirable changes in the
milk; in the latter to apply enough
heat to kill all the bacterias but with
the least possible undesirable change.

RYGIENlC CARE OF TEETH
Correct Way Of Brushing Them Is I'm
known to Very Many
Persons.

, 1t would surprise many women who
consider themselves hygienic in the
care of their teeth to know that they
were not. Cleaning teeth three times
a day is of little avail if it is not done
correctly. Brushing may be actually
harmful if too rough or in such a di-
rection as to push the gums back
| from the teeth.
Clean the teeth at least twice a
day, preferably after each meal. New
er neglect it before going to bed, as
when the mouth is quiet and there is
no flow of saliva dental decay is most
active.
Keep your tooth brush hygienic. Let
it hang where it will get sun and air;
wash it occasionally in a good disin-
fectant. Throw it away at signs of
! loosened bristles. One of these lodg-
ing in the throat may give serious
! trouble.
Brush the teeth gently with a ro-
tary motion so the bristles will pene-
trate between the teeth. Do not scrub
the teeth and gums, as much harm
, is done in this way.
F; Never neglect to brush the edge of
the teeth, also on the inner surface.
When not using rotary motion
brush downward on the upper teeth
and upward on the lower.
If your teeth are at all irregular
use dental floss or a quill toothpick
A metal pick is apt to injure the teeth
and gums and the wooden ones may
splinter. Remember that three-fourths
of the trouble with teeth commences
between the teeth.

Spooks

A class of animals much heard,

Their make up is one part indiges-

cred bad for their ~eomplexions.
Their appearance generally causes
goose pimples" and creepy feel
ings'' due to their supernatural char
acters. The best medicine for them
il still to be- discovered. They are
not to be faxed by a shaky voice de-
