The teas given to forthcoming

Ing favors. The best OF the tribes
are bought at the high class confec-

in a more novel and elegant fern than
elsewhere, but smart florists also
show some pretty things for this pur-
pose, as well as most of the large de-
partment stores. Here and there, too,
one sees a tea table embellished with
homemade knickknacks Of uncommon
cleverness, some of these initiating
the shop articles, and some inspired
by the family's own taste and In
genuity.
As the brides newest bouquet Is to

The novelties strictly for bridal use

tiny dolls dressed as brides, wedding

tanning rice or confetti, wedding bells,
wee automobiles holding flowers or

ONE REASON WHY CHILDREN mr.

ONG hGa0ON w ny CdlLUkEN III e
So close is the present day connec-
ton between the city and country,
that the habits of cleanliness of farm
ers, especially those who sell milk.
has close relation to the number of
deaths of young children. July, Aug
ust and September are the months
when the greatest number of small
children die of intestinal diseases. It
has been found that these same
months are the ones in which milk
contains the largest number of bac-
terra, the high point in both cases
being August.
The bacteria in milk which a.
grown a grown person may drink and
never know it often causes the death
OF children. The bacteria cannot be
seen, and unless attention has been
called to it, the farmer does not know
how they get in the milk. But no
milk is absolutely free from these
germs, and they grow with marvellous
rapidly, especially if the milk is
warm. This is why milk should be
cooled and kept cool after it comes
from the COW, and Of course great
care should be taken to prevent dirt
OF any sort on the COW or around the
milk pail. No one wants to be even
the unconscious cause of the death of
child.-State Board of Health Talk.

The Kappa Sigma fraternity in

it's origin from an ancient European

the university of Bologna about 1895,
and spread later to the universities
of Paris, Florence and Orleans. Since

growth of the fraternity has been
very rapid and it is now represented
