WARNING TO PARENTS.

It is risky to feed raw milk and
cream to children or invalids un-
less you are sure that at the farm
which produces the milk the utmost
cleanliness is observed at all times,
particularly during milking; that
the employees are thoroughly heal
thy and cleanly persons, that the
cows are free from diseases, that
the water used for rinsing is Of un-
doubted purity. and that the milk
is quickly cooled and kept cold and
covered until delivered to You.
Raw milk often produces Tuber-
cuiosis, Scarlet Fever. also Ty-
phoid and other intestinal dis
eases.
We can guard against infection
by properly pasteurizing milk or
by home pasteurization.
Properly pasteurizing milk (and
cream) by keeping It at 40 deg.
r. for twenty to thirty minutes
does not affect its nutritive value
nor its digestibility. Quick or COM
mercial pasteurization. however. is
unreliable.
You can home pasteurize raw
milk by heating it to near boiling.
then cool, and keep cold and COW
cred until used
Most indigestion in babies is
caused by milk too rich in cream

There was tumult In the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Paring restless up and down,
People gathering at the cornerA
Where they whispered each 70 each,
And the sweat stood on their temples
With the earnestness Of speech.
As the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the Wild Newfoundland shcrs,
80 they beat against the state house,
So they Surged against the door;
And the mingiing d their yoAces
Made . harmony pfcfourd;
Til the quiet street Of Chestnut
Was all turbulent with sound

Gala Day And Initiation
For Young Mems

Last Sunday was a gala day for
the Young Mems Institute at Car
rollton, when they initiated class OF
ten new members. Carrollton may
not have the largest council in Ken
lucky, but ii certainly has one Of
the best, and with the present
nucleus bids fair to show good in
crease for the year. In the morning
all the members and the new candi-
dates approached holy communion in
body, and in the afternoon the
initiatory ceremonies were held in
the club house, after which refresh
ments were served. The State de-
gree team from Louisville put on the
degree work, and were highly COM
plimented on all sides for the fitting
manner in which it was done. st.
George Council is now engaged in
eQuSpping its new quarters which 1t
will occupy within the next month.
AS, soon as the work Is done the
new quarters will be handsomely
furnished throughout, when the Y.

BELFAST LEADS
When It Comes to Large
Docks and Big
Ships.

The largest craving dock in the
world and the largest steamship in
the world are at Belfast, Ireland.
This is-a fair record for that city of
maritime eminence. The craving
dock, however, which has just been
finished at cost of 81, ,750, 1000, sur
passes any achievement in docR
construction ever attempted. 1t is
$50 feet long, SS7 feet with the
caisson gate on, and 100 feet wide,
so that the $4,000 ton White Star
liners Olympic and Titanic fit into
1t very neatly, with fair margin to
Spare.
One of these leviathans, the
Titanic, is in the big dock at the
present moment, being touched up
by an army of workmen for her final
christening in the ocean-going serv-
ice. She is floating in about
23,O00,O0O gallons of water, which
could be emptied from this monster
dock in the brief time OF one hour
and forty minutes. Three huge en-
gines, with a combined energy OF
5000 horsepower, make this pos
sible, and new principle OF
hydraulic machinery allows the
caisson gates to be opened or closed
In less than four minutes.
The dock has been seven years in
building, and would have been fin
ished two or three years ago but for
falls of embankment in 'he nearby
Alexandra dock. The whole excava-
ton rests on land reclaimed from
the sea by the municipal workmen
OF the Belfast Harbor Board.
The formal ceremony of opening
the new craving dock will not take
place until after the coronation, and
the occasion is big enough to justify
the popular expectation there thai
some member of the royal family
Will perform the ceremony.

entire country is dotted with his
works. Louisville loses an able and
public spirited citizen in the passing
of Col. Muldoon. His daughters.

sympathy OF the people in their
grief. His funeral took place from
the family residence yesterday morn
