Mission Mr.. Phillips was addressing a
mass meeting Of representatives OF the
different social. civic and religious orr
ganiZations Of the Capital city, and the
appreciation of Tolstoi came as the CHI
max Of a dissertation on the social prob
lens of the cities Of this country.
'Tolstoi is a man who has sincerely
sought the truth, and preached the real
simplicity OF Christianity, said Mr.. Phil
lips. Even in the hour OF his dfsap-
pearance he e giving expression to his

of hundreds of babies. he saio. He
touched upon various points In the fight
made by the mission to secure pure milk
fer the infants In poor families In New
York, but he declared that pure milk was
only one element in the task of reducing
infant mortality in the city tenements.
I'VE have had TO educate mothers In
the homes in all that relates to the health
and care of babies" he said. Fully
one-third Of the deaths among children OF
tender years can be traced. not to i'm
pure milk, but to lack Of proper care
and to ignorance In the homes"
From a discussion OF the relation be-
tween the milk problem and the high
rate of mortality among infants Mr.. Phil
li,s entered into an exposition Of social

No Produce in Cold Storage.

The dealers deny that market stuff is

The butter dealers advance the claim
that the price OF standard Elgin cream
ermy butter is telegraphed from Chi
cago every Monday and 1t affects the

to Tuesday. The Elgin Company, it Is
declared. controls the butter market of

Hunting Notes

e. E. Kenfeld was out in the
woods last week doing a little
hunting. He says that he had
no trouble in seeing deer but to
get them was different thing.
He is of the opinion that the old
style army gun with the bayonet
attached would be the most use
full frearm to carry in the. woods
for he said if he had had one of
them or double bitted axe he
would have returned with a fine
buck. The deer in question was
so close to him that with long
er gun he would have been able
to reach him. From the des-
cription of the buck given us by
Mr.. Kenfield the above picture
would be a fair likeness.
Three of our prominent citi-
zens were out hunting at the
Carmichael camps during the
forepart of the week and one of
the party returned with a fine
large buck. The story is told
that the buck had been running
with the cattle all summer and
had become almost as tame as
the cattle. One who happens
to know, says the buck was kill
ed inside of the barn. Neverthe-
less it was a fine deer.
One new savage rifle that was
being used by one of the local
hunters came near being thrown
into the scrap heap this week
for the owner said it failed to
kill a deer even at a very close
range. After firing five shots at
a deer standing. one of which
was fred while the gun was rest
ing across fine large pine
stump, the hunter became ex.
cited and started saying pet
names to the gun and this is
what caused Mr.. deer to move
from his tracks, An examina-
ton made of the gun at the camp
proved that there was nothing
the matter with it,. ~, nm
