so that the hedgehogs might come in

the principal items Of the camp menu

humans for a while the spiny gluttons
would hasten in and plane OF the sur
face Of the floor with their cbfsel-
shaped teeth. eating away all the wood
that held a trace Of grease. So on re-
turning to camp Monday morning The
owner was enabled to sweep uu and
enjoy the luxury Of a clean house for
another week. About the only ohipc.
tion to this system lay in the fact that
the camp must have a new floor each
year.
The same woodsman tells how. late
in February, a pair of white footed
wood mice stole into his camp from
their home in the forest and made a
nest in acOrns under the bunk The
first thing the little fellows did was 10

A digestive system of great capac-
ity is essential to handle the great
amount Of food from which the milk
is made. Such a digestive system is
Indicated by the size and shape of the
barrel. As Illus srated, it should be
long, wide, and deep. yet not unduiy
low and heavy
A further indication is the natural
lean, angular appearance Of the dairy
COW, which indicates that she will put
tat into the milk instead of on her
body. She has a clean cut appearance

OELlCAcY MADE FROM SOUR
MILK.
Healthful Summer Dessert Better
Than Ice Cream.

. A new frozen delicacy has been
tried and is being advocated by the
University Of Missouri Dairy Depart
ment It is neither ice cream nor
sherbet, but is half way between and
Is said to be better than either 1t is
made with sour milk as a basis. and
is favored with lemons, sugar, and
some fruit syrup, with eggs to give it
tody and more pleasing favor
The claim is made for Lacto-the
name of the-new dessert--that it has
distinct medicinal value, especially
during hot weather The lactic acid
which is found in the sour milk is the
same that has long been mentioned as
cure and preventive Of intestinal
troubles. Furthermore, the sour milk
contains much real food material,
which can not be said Of sherbets and
ices.
Only milk that has been clean and
has soured with a pleasant flavor is
suitable for Lacto In commercial
making, a starter" is used similar to
the one used for ripening cream in
creamery butter making. A recipe
used at the University creamery calls
for three gallons Of clean soured milk,
nine pounds of sugar, twelve eggs,
twelve lemons, and a quart OF red
raspberry juice.

Sins to Account For.

Church members have no right to
condemn the liqsor traffic and then
to rent stores in which 10 carry on
the same. Naturally therefore, these
people when they saw their illegal
gains interfered with should request
Jesus to depart, v. II, and this even
in the face of what had been done for
stricken man. Luke tells us Luke
$50 that they were holden with a
great fear. Fear of what? Surely not
any fear of this Galilean teacher, but
rather were they fearful Of the effect
Of his life upon their material pros
perity. Big business will have somc
sins to account for when in the face
Of known facts they still press fc,
their gains ignoring the cry of the al.
hicted and careless of unreasonable
house and unsanitary living condi
tfons.
On the other hand why did Jesus re
fuse such a logical and seemingly rea.
sonable and proper a request as that
recorded in verse 18? Was It not a
very natural request and an evidence
Of gratitude as well! Jesus, however,
knew a better place, for he saw a
greater Joy in store for this man.
Hence he commanded the man to go
home"
A suggestion outline for this lesson
would be as follows:
