WHY MILK TURNS SOUR.

Perhaps you have often wondered
why it is that if you let milk stand
for short time, especially in warm
weather, it will turn sour and become
unfit to us in your tea or coffee, but
if it is boiled and then sealed I'D in
some sort of alright can or lar it
will keep for any length of time in
any weather.
Many persons believe that a thun-
der-storm will turn milk sour, and
II you ask them what the thunder
which is nothing but noise, can do to
the milk you will find that they
have no idea, but they just know it
is SO. So there
The reason that milk turns sour
is that it contains a small nicrobe
that makes an acid from the sugar
in the milk. When the milk is
boiled these microbes are killed and
the acid is never developed. Warm
air, and even electricity in the air,
is very favorable to the rapid growth
of these microbes, which are really
a sort of plant, and all plants -four
ish in warmth.
The acid which is made by these
microbes in the milk is called Tactic
acid, and if the milk is good and
clean it is none the worse for turn
ing sour, although it is not just the
thing to put in tea. For some per-
sons sour milk is a much more
wholesome drink than sweet milk
and is recommended by some doctors
for the cure of certain diseases.
There is famous Chinese statesman
who believes he will live to be one
hundred and fifty because he drinks
so much sour milk every day.-Mc-

PRUNE SOUFFLE.

This is delicious dessert. simple
of ingredients and quickly prepared
Pick over and wash ten or twelve
prunes. Soak several hours in cold
water to cover. Cook in same water
until soft, then remove stones and
either chop or beat into tiny frag-
ments or rub through a seiye. If
the souffle. is to serve six people,
take the whites of four eggs, which
will be sufficient. Beat until the egg
flies from the whipper, then add four
tablespoons Of granulated sugar, one
for each egg. Beat again, and ADD
the prunes. Pile lightly in baking
dish and bake until light brown in
a moderate oven. This pudding falls
easily unless the baking-pan is set in
a heavy spider" containing a couple
of inches Of hot water. With this
precaution it may even stand for
short time after baking, provided it
is left in the open oven. Serve with
whipped cream.
The same foundation of eggs and
sugar can be used in compromising
other souffles, adding dried apricots
which have been cooked according to
the method for prunes, and beaten
into small fragments. Raspberries,
in season, make delicious souff1e,
stewed figs can be acceptably util-
lied, and, in fact, almost any fruit
can be thus pressed into service, I'M
less it is very juicy, like pineapple.

WHITE
SLAVE TRAFFIC IN
GEORGIA,

Hon. Mr. Patten also introduced
a measure to abolish the organized
traffic in girls in Georgia, a business
SO diabOlical and devilish that one
would think that "way-faring man
though a fool" would be ready to
lend every possible aid in stamping
out business so vile. Would you
believe that the committee refused
to even recommend favorably this
measure? They did in the face of the
fact that the white slave traffic is
we'll organized in our State.
Now there is no time to lose on
this. Do you notice in the daily pa
pers every few days that some girl
has disappeared and her family is
frantically searching for her and no
trace can be found of the missing
one? A closer search would reveal

- he fact that the post Office
has been made the means of
harmful and harmless 1irta-
tions is realized, and a spIen-
Gid rule pat in force.
Young girls who call for their
mall from general delivery in Offices
where there is free delivery are re-
quested to leave their home ad-
dress.
Upon the assumption that clan
destine correspondents are in most
cases harmful to the young girl, this
mas been watched with interest by
post office officials and newspapers
which fought the personals of
some Of the leading city papers.
They found that the majority of
people calling for general delivery
mail were young girls between IA
and Is years of age.
One Of the interested post Office
men tried the plan Of asking for the
address of the girls and they were
told If they did not have the mail
sent to the home address it would
be given to the parents. This was
such an effective plan that it has
now been made a rule for all city
post Offices, or Offices that have car
riers.
This plan had been the means OF
many girls meeting undesirable rccn,
of leaving good homes for false
promises and many, many other mis-
fortunes.
It shows too how careless so many
Of US are. Not many ever thought
of how girls we're in touch with evil
companions or their influence, and
all WomanhOod should be thankful
that one or two saw, and are trying
to help.
Nothing is more needless than the
young girl in her first love affair
and while a young boy is supposed
and (has a right, so far as mans
opinion goes), to "soW his wild
OATS" girl must never make a>mis-
take.
No matter if the man be many
years older, with all worldly expert
ence, tbs the unsophisticated girl
who loses caste, and public opinion
pushes her on down hill, while the
man goes with the same clique that
shun the girl.

Fashion is responsible for more
harm doing in the matter of footgear

vagaries with which she delights to
worry her submissive slaves. Nowhere

children in Europe and America by the
eXcruciating ills that result from the
wearing of tight or wrongly formed or
stupidity fitted shoes could be collected
and poured forth from one huge mega
phone the united sound Of woe would
not be pleasant to listen to.
When fashion prescribes absurd
headgear we may lament the violence
done to our aesthetic sensiblities, but
there Is. usually, no physical injury
caused by inartistic hats. The case is
different with misshapen shoes Huge,
square toed shoes that look like river
