 "To the stranger who comes here Arkansas offers something better than the hope of promised land. Call Ar. kansas the Land of Double Crops if you like, but that doesn t tell all of the story.

Use For Sour Milk

Most housewives do not know that
sour milk is preservatiye. Even oysters
will keep in it for some time. A piece of
beef steak will be found to be perfectly
fresh after an immersion of four or five
months.
Prof. Ellie Metchnikon, Of the Pasteur
institute, Paris explains! that the sugar
in the milk encourages the growth OF
certain germs which form Tactic acid.
This acid destroys the germs OF putrefac-
ton. For this reason sour milk and
buttermilk are often beneficial in ailmen-
tsry disorders which are accompanied by
bacterial infection.
Sweet milk will not not serve because
the sugar is promptly assimilated and the
friendly germs are without sustenance.
On the other hand, the casein OF the
milk remains, and in it the bacilla
Of decay multiply. 1t is they which
cause the class OF symptoms known as
biliousness.

Dimcult Building.

To superimpose an eight-story office
building upon nine-story structure is
the latest difficult engineering feat in the
building world. It is announced to take
place in New York, where SO many
astonishing things have been accom-
plished in the building industry during
the past few years.
1t will mean practically erecting sky
scraper on an AGRA 200 by $50 feet upon
immense steel stills more than nine
stories in height, and putting this over
the present structure without in the
slightest way affecting its foundations or
putting any additional strain upon it, and
all this is to be done while business is
going on below just as usual.

Maine was more fortunate in 1909 than
in 1908, in point of fires, according to the
official returns of the Maine insurance de-
partment. The total fire loss in Maine for
the year up to Dec. /, reckoning only
those ares in which the loss was $4,000 or

months of the year 1908 it was $2,SS9, 900,
showing decrease this year of 1921 900.
Remarking, "If were going to shoot
myself, this is how would do it," Arthur
Smith, aged eighteen, son OF Joseph Smith,
OF Rockland, placed revolver against his
neck Monday and pulled the trigger. He
was instantly killed. 1t is not known
whether the tragedy was accidental or
not. The sole witness was housemaid
employed by Edward H. Clarry, at whose
home in Union the shooting took place.
The total valuation of the cities, towns
and plantations, as certified to the board
by the municipal assessors for the year
1909, is 1914 ,025,322, an increase of S9.126,-
Cos, over the amount returned in 1908, ac-
cording to the annual report of the board
of State assessors, just filed. The average
annual increase during the past en- years
has been IS, 1888, 1853. The total amount Of
taxes assessed upon property is SS,09s, 775

tations is s21.65 upon each $1,000 valua-
ton. The average rate in 1907 was $22.0S
and in 1908 it was s2O.s5. The average
