AS dairy cow she is particularly

uniform production makes her a reli-

Her milk is particularly adapted to

mix the cream back into the milk,
which will not again readily separate,

THIRTEEN YEARS
UnIucky Number for Dakota Woman.

The question whether the number

other number has never been entirely
settled.
A So. Oak. woman, after thirteen
years of misery from drinking coffee,
found a way to break the "unlucky
spell" Tea is just as injurious as cof-
fee because it contains caffeine, the
drug in coffee. She writes:
