DEADLY REPRESENTATIVES,"

Every Housewife should have Lactometer to Detect
 Adulterants in the Milk She buys

Formerly the adulteration of milk meant either the addition of water. or the removal of percentage of the but ter fat, or cream but, latter y, as the unholy use of anti-eptics has become so common. new form of aduiteration, by the addition of chemical "preservatives," so-called, is practiced, and in some sec tions to an alarming extent. The object of adding these chemicals is to keep the milk from souring, but it is danger ous practice.
 These preservat;ves are ''rnan1fac- tured' by commingling one or more chemical antiseptics in water to produce two to four per cent. so ution. The commercial chemical, purchased i,l quan- tity, is very cheap, and dol,ar-bottle of milk preservative, put up with talk ing name and fancy label, may be actually worth four to eight cents, in

 ~ for modelling and stamping the leather may be purchased for reason able price at any art supply store The novice, not quite certain of success or liking for the work, may even manage to avoid this expense by substituting the head of steel crochet hook. a nut pick or similar pointed tool for the regular graver An ivory or bone nail
 file answers the purpose very nicely. The file portion is not used, but the pointed end of the ivory may be used for outlining the design, while the wide, curved end IS suitable for rubbing down and polishing the background. A nail file of this kind may be purcased for five or ten cents, and will serve very well for beginners experiments. In- terest in the work is certain to grow with each small piece completed, and then will come the desire to have the proper tools, in order to do the very best kind of work. Initial expense of this kind often deters one from attempting a new work, but the results produced by a makeshift tool frequently justify a proper and complete equipment.
