what modification OF milk means. /
Analysis shows the normal com
position Of mothers milk. It con
tains. a high percentage of milk
sugar, a very low percentages of
protein, commonly known as ca
sein, and, milk albumin. and
moderate proportion Of fat. Nor
NAL cows milk contains much
less. sugar than mothers milk and
quite a great deal more of the nj
trogenous constituents, that is,
the easein and albumin. 1t also
contains somewhat larger guam
titles of fat than the milk of the.
mother, butnot so much in excess
assto render any great modifiea-
tion desirable.
How may milk be modified?
First only milk which is drawn
from a perfectly healthy animal,
we'll noutished and kept clean,
should ever be offered for the
consumption of infants. Every
such, animal should be carefully.
tested for tuberculosis, should be
scrupulously clean. and be gener-
ously nourished., The milk must
be drawn in a perfectly sanitary
manner, into the sterilized Yes-
sells, and while still warm passed
through a sterilized separator in
order to have It in two portions,
namely, cream and skinned milk.
Each of these components must
be at artifcially cooled to below
50 degrees F., placed in sterilized
containers and sent as soon as

process. A solution of pure milk
sugar of known strength is pre-
pared and carefully sterilized and
is always kept cold and ready for
use,
4nasmuch as the infant often
requiressa greater degree of aka
Unity than the normal cows milk
possesses, a solution of lime wa
ter is prepared in a sterile man
ner and kept cool and ready for
use. Armed with these solutions,
namely, cream, skinned milk,
milk sugar, whey, and lime water
the chemist can prepare milk..ac-
cording to any formula which the
physician may prescribe.
He can easily initiate, for in
stance, the normal mothers milk
for healthy children by making a
mixture which contains say 1 l-2
to 2 per cent Of protein, s. to y
per cent of, milk sugar, and 5 to
3172 per cent Of fat, with enough
added lime water to preserve
strict alkalinity.
Certain diseased conditions re-
quife other, notifications of milk
which are made according to a
physicians prescription. Milk
modified in this way, kept cool all
the time, and preserved from in
fection can be delivered for con-
sumption within two or three
hours after the milking. Infants
in normal health fed.on this mod
fled milk do almost as well as

ishment which nature has proyid-

COntentment.

Most every day a little boy comes
drivin' past our house
With the incest little pony-just the
color of mouse
And a groom rides close behind him,
so he won't get hurt, you see.
And I used to wish the pony and the
cart belonged to me.
7 nsed to watch him from our porch
and wish that / could own
His pony and his little cart, and drive
out all alone.
And once when I knelt down at night
| prayed the Lord that be
Would fix it so the pony and the cart
belonged to me.
But yesterday saw him where he
lives, and now I.know
Why he never goes out walkln z
cause his legs are withered so
And last night when l was kneelin'
with my head on mothers knee,
I was glad he had the pony and the
cart instead of me.

New Years Good Health
Resolution.

A we'll known physicians made a
remark the other day that is we'll
worth repeating. The remarks in
substance was, that people would
take care of every thing about them
but would not do single thing to
protect or help their own bodies; that
they would neglect themselves for
years until patient Nature rebelled,
then they would go to doctor and
expect few doses Of medicine to
cure their ailments when baths, pure
air and proper diet was what their
system needed. The following resolu-
tions we're given by Jean Williams,
M. D., and il we don't heed them,
they will at least furnish us material
for thought:
l. I will try to become more in
telligent concerning my body; look
ing with greater respect upon my
physical resources and trying to

yellow or cadmium for the yellOws,
yellow ocher, which is yellowlsh
brown, crimson lake, cobalt or new
blue for blues and burnt sienna for a
reddish brown. There are all shades
of green but it can be made by mix
ing yellow and blue with a touch of
the lake or sienna to make the shades
soft and pleasing. These cOlors are
to be mixed or thinned with turpen
tine or naptha to the right consist
ency. There must be a brush for
every color. They are of bristle and
cost from ten cents up and should be
one half to one-fourth inch in size.
To apply the paint to the material
first place it fiat upon a pine table
with sheet of blotting paper beneath,
lone can get large ones for nothing
at any insurance office), and the
stencil on top. With the brush dip
ped in color so that it is full without
having much on the edge, drab it on
to the cloth, being careful that the
paint is not too thick as that makes
the work look dauby; if too thin it
will run and it will also do that 1t too
much is applied. 1t is always best to
commence in the middle of a curtain
or scarf and work both ways toward
the ends so that there will be no bad
places if the pattern does not exactly
fit. The design may go across the
ends and up the sides that comes to-
ward the middle of the window.
Curtains are still made with a four
inch hem and hang just to the sill.
A pretty bed spread can be made OF
unbleached muslin with a design of
pink rOSeS and orean leaves SteDciled
thereon. The cover can be made OF
the widest muslin and four inch
hem all around. The design is stem
ciled all around just inside the hem.
If the bed is OF iron or brass there
should be stenciled ruffie or valance
around it to match, or the spread
need not be hemmed and the ruff g
sewed to it, so when it is on it will

Stencil Work.

After the beginning Of new year
the mind of the housewife turns in
stinctively to the tasks that must be
done before the beginning of ''spring
work" There are countless odds
and ends that must be gathered to-
gether- garments must be darned in
order that they may last until it is
time to have new ones and in turn
the new ones must be made. The
house has to be inspected and plans
made for the furnishing of new cur
tains, rugs and bed draperies. 1t is
far better to take "time by the fore
lock" as the old saying goes, than to
wait until the last minute before
commencing anything.
Of course it is more satisfactory to
get good material for every thing,
but in great many homes the ex-
penditure of the extra pennies for
"good'' instead of "fair' material
means a great deal; but the careful
housewife need not take this to heart
for there are many things to be had
for little money ii she will take the
pains to look for them.
In the matter of cur tains one can
find almost anything they want for
any room at medium price. For
the living and dining rooms there are
creamy nets and cross barred scrim;
for bed rooms many patterns of white
with all sorts of dots and figures. IT
one has the time there is nothing
prettier than the stenciled ones.
They have the advantage of being in
expensive and doing a great deal
toward making the rooms look CHEEKY
aud home like and are very up to
date. They are not hard to make if
one takes the pains necessary for
neat work. For materials one can
use cream cheesecloth, close meshed
scrim, etamine in the thin weaves
and fine, light weight. unbleached
muslin for the heavier weight.
The stencil patterns can be made at
home but they cost so little it is
better to buy them. If any reader of

There are two ways TO tell whether you

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination Of the kidney secretions.
That is why physicians make such
careful examination when you apply for
insurance, and if there is any sign of kid
ney trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is 90 dangerous that it
is q bad mistake to overlook or neglect it,
and if pain in the back, recurring head
aches, or fretful, nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some kidney trouble,
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre.
tions. Look for any of the following
signs:
More or less than three and one half
pints passed daily.
Too dark or too pale color.
PASSAGES too frequent. profuse. or much
reduced, or scaldina and painful.
Sandy. GRITTY or cloudy settings.
on the surface when allowed to stand,
or jclly-like thickenina.
Staining of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for time
from things eaten, but if the changed ap-
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
Of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.
Doan's Kidney Pills correct and regu-
late the kidney secretions, stimulate and
heal sick Kidneys and thereby drive away
backache, rheumatic pain, nervousness, diz-
