When you go to call On the sick al

should deal with cheerful topics and
never with anything dull or gloomy.

a state of nervous melancholy through

woman, Mrs. Jones died yesterday.
She suffered from the same malady
as you have, and she was sick for such
long time" After which she in
sisted that she must depart, urging
the invalid to be of good cheer. 1t
was with great difficulty that the sick
woman was pacified by the nurse, for
she imagined that she would be the
next to follow Mrs. Jones into the
grave.

POINT COOK SHOULD KNOW
Difference Between Simmerino and
Boiling Is Explained for Bene-
fit of Housewife.

A point which the cook should know
Is the difference between simmering
and boiling. Roughly speaking, it is
easy to see the difference between the
two When a liquid boils at full pitch
its surface will be closely covered
with bubbles, and the whole surface
will, so to speak, rock and swell with
the heat, in which condition it very
quickly boils over. When it SINNERS,
however, the surface of the liquid will
simply ripple like pond into which
stone has been thrown, the water
keeping all the time at gentle shiyer.
If you allow meat or anything that
the recipe says should be simmered to
boil up and bubble, the substance in
question will harden and become
stringy, giving out all it's goodness to
the liquid in which 1t is cooked, the
said liquid being only too frequently
thrown away. But if in your zeal
to keep the dish at simmering point
you keep it at the side of the stove
where the liquid never reaches boil
ing point, Nthe substance in question
may heat, but it will only steep, not
cook.

The letter written by Secretary of
State Frear to the state fair board
asking that the Canadian government
be prohibited from exhibiting on the
fair grounds, together with the recent
statement of the Canadian lands
agent in Milwaukee, will, it is said
cause a heated session at the state

clared that it makes no difference to
the Canadian government whether the
state board allowed Canada to show at
the fair He said the Canadian gov

grounds.
"The Canadian government should
not be allowed on the grounds" de
clared F. A. Cannon, member of the

for the purpose of drawing people to
