LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Few Questions About Milk

Mir. Editor: have read with interest the two letters on the milk question by Messrs. Waldo and Scott In regard to MT. Scott's letter, there is not shad- ow of doubt that every farmer In eastern Connecticut is doing his level best to conform to the requirements of the Rhode Island health inspectors.
 But there is a little something about thai milk inspection that needs airing. What I want to know is what became of that milk inspected a year ago and found so terrible bad?
 How is it that every one of those wicked CD farmers got pay for all oi their milk that month, which shows IL. must have. been sold in Providence?
 r the milk was bad. why should the producers have been allowed to ship miiK just the same, from the same cows milked, kept and shipped in identically the same way, for month after month, without having been no- tsfied that it was wrong?
 Can anyone blame the farmers for th.I king that there is a Providence, R. T., political nigger in the woodpile?
 When a lot of the most trustworthy, responsible, prominent farmers in the towH have their milk inspected and it prov es to be skim milk, watered milk and to contain putrid animal matter, does any sane man believe that those honest, reliable farmers would not have tried immediately to rectify any wrong had they been notified?
 Some months ago Mir. Scott came here to Packer and took a snap shot of clean gravel bank where cans were thrown from the train to use as an argument that the cans were hand led in an unsanitary manner by the railroad That same night three Of the two dozen cans thrown off were close.. with stoppers of partially de- cayed wood. all of them and two others were covered with putrid filth and green mould just as they came washed-washed, mind-from the deal CTS Several of the producers at this place have from time to time receive 1 cans in shocking condition and the old wtrm eaten wooden shoppers are with out dorbt the cause of much of the trouble.
 Another thing would like to ask is what kine of a dope was put in that rotten inspected milk that made 1t salable in PrOvidence2 After the United States inspectors found 1t filthy was 1t thrown out or sold? The farm CTS got pay for it and Mir. Scott win have a mighty hard job making the Connecticut producers who have dealt with Rhode Island milk dealers for years believe that they pay for milk they do not sell.

A JEWEL BAG.

A jewel or money bag to be slung round the neck beneath the blouse is easily made and is useful possession for the traveller. The bag is fashioned of strip of linen, one end of which is turned up to form a pocket and the other end turned down and shaped for the flap. A narrow edging of crochet would add to the attraction of the bag and the initials should be embroidered on the flap.
 The ribbon by which it is suspended from the neck. the initials and the edging should be all of the same color as the linen or an agreeable contrast. A ehamois pocket should be tacke1 inside the linen one, and the bag may be fastened with pearl button and buttonhole.

NEW DRApERIEs.

There is a struggle for supremacy going on between the tunic which goes all around the skirt above the knees and the tunic which opens in front from the waist and is draped in pannier style.

The most stubborn cases of neuralgia are apt to yield to hot water treatment. Wherever the pain is located, there a hot water bag should be applied.

Of course, the patient should be careful not to take cold when cooling off after this treatment

A cold sponge bath taken every morning to tone the skin and to harden it and a hot or warm bath twice week to re- move waste matter will soon show good effects, and the result will be more decided if at least two quarts of water are drunk during the day.

GREATEST LESSON or LIFE
The One Thing Above All That a
Woman Should Be Quick to Learn
and Remember.

The woman who makes good must
be blessed with strength and health,
and an ambition to learn and take ad-
vantage of every opportunity that
comes her way. She must work with
all her heart and play with all her
heart; above all things avoiding In
difference.
Hers is the temperament that rec
ognizes that encouragement is all
nice and pretty, but If one is going to
do the thing that counts one doesn't
need it; that refuses to be dismayed
by repeated failures and that has a
certain faith that what has been done
by many may be done by another;
that nobody goes through life without
disappointments, heartaches and the
breaking of pet illusions; that there is
nothing more common than trouble
but that 1t is the wise ones OF earth
that keep 1t in the background. That
the great lesson of life.-Exchange.
