Pure Milk
From Good Health.

WrOm bOOO health.
Since in many places 1t is Impossible to
obtain milk Of this high standard. it may
devolve upon the housewife to render 1t
safe by pasteurzing 1t. Pasteurization
will not, however, remove the dirt and
filth OF the barnyard, but will destroy
disease-producing germs Pasteurization
Is accomplished by heating the milk to a
certain temperature and maintaining II
for g. sufficient length Of time to kill the
disease-producing bacteria, which for
tunately are destroyed at rather low
temperature. If milk IL heated beyond

It should be left in the bottles. and
through the cap of one Of them place a
dairy thermometer Arrange the bottles
In pail on the bottom Of which is an
Inverted pie tin punched full of holes.
which allows the water to come through
and yet prevents the bottles from coming
In contact with too intense heat Surround
the bottles with cool water, filling the
pail to within about one-half inch OF the
top of the bottles. bringing the milk as
rapidly as possible to the temperature Of
1867. When 1t has reached this point re-
move the bottles from the pail, set away
on board covered with q towel and
over this draw another towel or cloth,
and allow the milk to remain about thirty
minutes. Then replace in pan Of warm
water and gradually replace the warm
water with cold. AS soon as the milk is
thoroughly chilled remove to the re-
frigerator. where 1t should remain until
ready for use. Milk should not be taken
from the refrigerator and left out during
the preparation OF a meal, as the tenn
perature OF the warm room Is very favor
able for the development Of bacteria.

AWAIT CHEMISTS REPORT
IN THE BATHTUB CASE.
Husband of Victim Expected
to Be Arraigned in
Court Today.

NEW YORK. June 3.-Until they re-
ceive a report from the chemists examin-
ing the contents OF the victims stomach
the police expect to make little progress
toward finding the perpetrator of the
bathtub murder. Henry A. scheib. hus-
band Of the young woman whose body
lay about four months in the tub Of an
East Side fiat before it was discovered.
will probably be arraigned today.
The finding of a half empty bottle Of
ether in the bathroom where the body
lay has added to the complications Of the
case. The coroner says that II Mrs.
Scheib was first drugged and then while
tnsensible allowed to drown decomposi-
ton has advanced so far that it will be
difficult to detect such evidences Of foul
play. Physicians differ as to whether
the woman was dead before her body
was put in the tub. In denying Scheibs
application for release yesterday the
court laid stress on the fact that he had
failed to report his wlfe's death. although
evidence indicated that he had visited
the fiat several times after she died.
1t will be ten days or two weeks before
the analysis Of the contents Of the wom-
ans stomach Is completed.

An Automobile Story,

From the Portland Press.
This Is a true story. We print 1t here
for fear that II we printed 1t in the news
columns some would think 1t Joke or
accuse US OF yellow journalism. Last
Wednesday afternoon on Congress street
a mans hat blew OF. It blew OF because
II was windy and the wind blew 1t on.
There was an automobile passing at not
over fifteen miles an hour-you under
stand that this Is true story-and the
hat blew under the automobile, or rather
the wind blew the hat under the automo-
bile. One of the wheels OF the machine
passed over 1t and made It look like ~
cents or less. .
The man in the automobile, when he
saw what he had done. although realizing
that II was the wind that blew the hat
and that he was not to blame, stopped
his car. and got out and paid the man
fer his hat One man said that II 1t had
been q dog or q boy he wouldn't have
looked around. but that man was un-

MARRIED WOMAN WRITES
NOTE TOLOVESICK YOUTH
A Letter Which it Would Be Well for the Mar
ried Women Who Find Attentions of Young
Men Agreeable to Learn by Heart
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

There are scores Of married women
who find the attention Of very young

have watched the waning Of romance in
the eyes Of their husbands, and who, after
a decade Of years, when life has seemed
verging toward the commonplace, sud-

his heart with a telling stronger than
friendship.
Almost every woman possessed Of any
mental or physical charms has had the
opportunity for such an experience.
Too often this opportunity has been
SEIZED and the youth has been led on
to make a young fool Of himself. which
fatters the womans vanity, while she
has been quite unconscious that she her
self was playing an old role of an older
fool
occasionally, woman possesses the
good sense. and the pride and the self
respect to curb the impulse of the too
romantic youth before they develop into
passion. and to change him from an
adoring swain into a delightful friend.
A Lovesick College Boy.
One such man tells of the treatment
received at the hands of married
woman with whom he became hopeless
ly enamored, shortly after leaving col
lege. and he shows her letter, written in
answer to an impassioned missive which
he sent her one night, after sitting be-
side her at a dinner table.

the letter-for, when IL was first re-

vanity.
