is Third street not paved yet? The

Leavenworth will not bid on the work.
They offered bids at first said he
but they were exorbitant and we had
to refuse all of them. I have been in
favor of the city doing its own con-
tracing on this street; we have plenty
of crushed rock and need only hire

But little attention had been paid to his
statements as he was heavy drinker

What TO Eat in Spring.

Dr.. Woods Hutchinson in the
April WOman's Home Companion
tells a great many things about
food, what to eat, and when to
eat it, that most of us never
knew before, and he tells it in a
most interesting way.
IT'S in the spring the young
mans fancy lightly turns not
merely to thoughts of love, but
heavily away from the dull mo.
notOny of cOrned beef, cabbage
and potatoes. Our clOgged pal.
ates begin to yearn for the clean,
sharp acidity of pie plant the
crisp, bitter freshness of spring
greens.
But, alas, with the longing
Nature does not always provide
the means Of its qualification.
To the careful hOusekeeper in
her marketing, spring, not win
ter, is the peculiar season of her
discomfort The flowers that
bloom, ETC., are lovely to the eye
and cheering to the spirit, but
they furnish exceedingly few
'ingridiments' for entrees, des.
Serts, or even salads. They're
very poetic, but you can't~eat
EN-. They stir up lOngings for
sourneSS and freshness and
things that 'cranch between the
teeth in April, but the substance
of these things hoped for, the
garden sass and berries, don't
come in in satisfactory amounts
until June"
And then Doctor Hutchinson
goes on and gives a complete
springtime menu for every meal
for an entire week. 1t is not an
elaborate menu, but it is a most
appetizing one.

How TO Tell Clean Milk.

Clean Milk" says Woman's
Home Companion for April, has
no distinct flavor IN ply a
sweet, pleasant taste. If any
hayorS are present they are ar
tificial. A test for the sanitary
condition of milk is as follows:
Take a pint of milk as it is re.
ceived from the milkman, pour
off a few spoonfuls, to facilitate
shaking, and place in a painful of
warm water, ninety-fye to one
hundred degrees; when thor
oughly warm throughout, add
one rennet tablet which has pre-.
viOusly been dissolved in one
spoonful of water, and shake,
then set away in warm place
! for n few minutes. When cur
died, cut the curd thoroughly
with a knife, to let out the whey.
Let stand for a few minutes,
drain off all whey possible, and
continue to pour off the whey as
| it accumulates. There will then
be a lump of compact curd. Cut
this in two with a knife, so that
it will fall out. The character of
this curd will show very clearly
the sanitary quality of the milk,
If spongy and full of numerous
holes, undesirable forms of bac'
terra, particularly those that pro
duce gas, are present. This
class of bacteria is considered
by authorities to be one of the
causes of epidemic diarrhea. II
firm and smooth, with few or nc
holes, the milk is clean and has
been handled in a sanitary man
ner. This test may be continued
further by placing the curd back
in the bottle and filling half full
of water. If the curd floats il
indicates that the milk is un
clean; if it sinks, the milk is rea
sOnably clean. "
