that Fannie had no feloni intent

young friend does not take herself
quite seriously. She is rather harum-

Ihere have been times when I have
secretly suspected that she has a slight
sense of humor. but, as this is a quail

never before publicly mentioned my
suspicion.
However. in spite of all these fall

LIFE ceNrERs IN THE HOME
Simplicity and Comfort ls InvsrIshIs
Rule Throughout Kingdom
Of Holland.

Housekeeping in Holland means
work without end. In the larger
cities, where the customs of other
lands are adopted to a considerable
extent, home life is conducted on less
strictly Dutch lines. But in the
smaller towns and villages the house
wife of today manages her home in
much the same manner as her grand
mother did.
The continual scrubbing, rubbing
and polishing is supposed to be the
result of the easy access to such an
abundant water supply. There is
another reason, however; why floors,
furniture and metal utensils must
be constantly cleaned and polished.
The climate being moist and damp,
the housekeeper must exert herself
In the effort to Danish rust and mold.
The Hollanders have very simple
tastes in their foods. The housewife
does not 20 to market. The market
comes to her. The vegetable dealer
with his cart (often drawn by dogs)
comes to the door. He sells, not ac-
cording to measure or weight but ac-
cording to the number of persons to
be fed. Milk is also brought in little
carts TO the house and fish is sold
alive and killed and cleaned at the
door.
The Dutch are simple and home
ly people. 1t is said the men are
slow TO pursue outside interests be-
cause they are made SO comfortable
at home. Their whole life centers
there. Prosperity is displayed more
in luxury Of comfort than in osten-
tation and this is witnessed in the
homes.

MILK IN the CELLAR.

When milk is apt to be kept in the
cellar the pans should be on swing
shelves and nothing Of strong enough
flavor to contaminate it should be
close by. The butter may also be
kept here. Unless the cellar is thor
oughly screened it is well to have
the shelves inclosed in wire netting
and fitted with swinging doors. Meat
should also be protected by netting
or be placed in a wire safe. Bacon,
hams, etc., may be hung from stout
hooks which are fastened into the
cellar beams.-Woman's Home Com

AMERICAN ARMY. IN TEXAS
Cleanliness Prevailed and Every Pre-
caution Observed for the Wei
fare Of the Soldiers.


"Not the least important factor in
The efficiency of the division is the
medical and sanitary work of the
chief surgeon and his assistant.
Great pains were taken to insure a
pure water supply, but all water
used by the troops for drinking and
cooking is boiled. The orders on
this subject are stringent and are
enforced to the letter. Every COM
pany kitchen has big oven formed
by an excavation in the ground,
paved and walled by large stones.
Fires are kept burning in these ovens
and the stones become red hot. All
garbage is thrown on these red hot
stones and completely destroyed. All
kitchen utensils are kept spotlessly
clean, and there is nothing left about
the kitchens to attract flies. All
sewage is completely destroyed by
burning it with paraffin oil. AS an
additional precaution, by order OF
the secretary of war, incubation
with anti-typhoid serum was made
compulsory on every officer and man
of the division. Bathing was also
made compulsory for the enlisted
men of the division. As result, the
bathing squads, with towels under
arms, bound for scrub in the bar
racks, alternated with the typhoid
squads marching up to the surgeons
