YI-SUNG WANTS MEN TO
TEACH BIBLE TO CHINESE.

Sung Yi-sung, Chinese student at
Wooster, has a solution to the problem
presented by the killing of Elsie Slge4
in New York ard Miss Hoffman, the
actress. in Berlin, by Chinese lovers.
His plan is to put young men IN
charge of missionary Sunday schools
for the Chinese, instead of girls like
Elsie Sigel. Here is his statement on
the situation:
eff we Will stop and count how
many cases of this kind, and even OF
worse nature, are monthly, weekly and
daily happening, we see that agitation
against a whole nation on account OF
few bad representatives is not con-
sistent to true American spirit.
But, first Of all, the general public
is being brought to see the real In
ternal condition of those districts they
call Chinatowns It is a shame that
in the great cities, like New York and
San Francisco, the places of great po-
lice and detective forces, such dirty,
disgracefuI and unreachable places
should exist How ridiculous it is that
in China opium is being prohibited,
while in America it's still widely used.

Deadhead'm Nerve.

Oscar Asche, who, with his wife,
Miss Lily Brayton, Is on his way to
Australia, his native land, which he
left eighteen years ago, remarked just
before he set sail, apropos of the slump
in theaters, that the deadhead is a
destroyer of drama.
While l was touring with a GER
tain highly respected manager we
were playing at long famous old
playhouse in an ancient town. We
had billed Macbeth for the Friday
night, but during that day the theater
was burned down. For our next week
there our chief contrived to borrow
a playhouse a little way out of the
district On reaching there to rehearse
on the Monday the manager received
letter saying that the writer had
been given two dress circle orders for
the performance of Macbeth but as
that play was not performed owing
to the destruction of the theater the
writer surmised that the manager
would remit the money value of those
orders. "-Tit-Bits.

as If the country must soon be over

but a change is so generally reckoned
as essential to vacation that they

Dirty milk or milk that is the least
bit sour will often throw child into
a fever. Commissions are not uncom-
mon with delicate children whose
milk has not been as it should be. A
little carelessness or a little delay
may mean a house robbed of its sun
shine and the little voice that for
few short months only was there to
cheer it. The only way, according to
sanitary modes of thinking, to be
sure that the milk is in the right con-
dition for the baby, is to pasteurize
it. This can be done at home. The
method is simple one.
The bottle of milk that is to be pas
teurized should be placed in can of
water, the water extending about one
third of the way up the bottle, the
top of which should be either entirely
off or else lose. Then the water in
the can should be brought to a boil.
AS soon as the bubbles begin to arise
the can of water with the bottle in
1t should be taken from the stove, the
top of the bottle put on tightly, and
the milk and water allowed to cool in
the same position in which they were
on the stove. When cool the milk
should be placed on the ice ready for
use.
The cry of tenement mothers that
they cannot afford ice and that they
have no ice box has been answered,
the Chicago Tribune says, by the
health department, the members of
which have designed an icebox which
can be made for practically nothing
and operated for less than cents
