HATS OFF TO THE cow.

Hats off to the gentle, mild-eyed
American COW. Buttermilk, at least
in one place in the United States,
costs more than beer. The place is
Warren, Pa, and the price is II cents
per quart.
Bossy alone is not entitled to the
credit for this boost in the price of
the churned product of her tactical
glands. A doctor in Warren has been
telling the people that the drinking of
buttermiIk would improve their
health.
Warren, Pa, is not, however, the
only place in which the use of butter
milk as beverage is growing. Every
where, almost, there is an increasing
demand for the drink which carries
into the system a supply of Tactic acid,
an important chemical agent, neces-
sary alike to digestion and the proper
muscular action. Physicians have
learned that this product of decom-
position in buttermilk, the acid which
gives the buttermilk its sour taste, is
medicine as well as a food or as
similator of food. Yet buttermilk is
not always beneficial. Up to a GER
tain point in the process of decompo-
that point there is another product of
decomposition or fermentation which
is best left out of the human stomach.
But while buttermiIk is now drunk
for its heaIthgiving properties, can
anyone imagine a more wholesome or
alluring beverage than buttermilk be-
fore it has developed Tactic acid and
the sour taste? Do you remember
going to the spring house, soon after
the churning was finished, there dip
ping from the stone crock a tin cup
full of the butter-flecked liquid and
pouring it down your heat parched
throat? If you do you will remember
also that you seldom stopped with
one cupfuL Or maybe you remember
how you used to drink it gurgling out
of a stone jug which you had hid in
the grass under a tree while you
wrought in the hay field. Then as
now the American COW was the pro-
Queer. Again, hats off to her.

EVENING CHIT
81 RVTsI CAlgERoN.

If your only hold on some thing you
loved very, very much were a slender
chain, and If you were afraid the
chain was getting too weak to hold,
this precious thing altogether if the
chain broke, would you give the chain
a tremendously hard yank to see if
that would break it?
Or would you try to find some way
of strengthening the chain
That sounds as if the answer were
obvious, doesn't it And yet, listen to
this question from a letter friend:
1T seems to me that my husband
does not care for me as much as he
used to- she writes, "and that he Is
growing altogether too fond of a
young woman whom we both know
My heart is breaking, for 1 love my
husband devotouly, and I do not know
what to do. DO you think 1 should
tax him with paying too much atten-
ton to this woman and threaten To
to leave him if he doesn't promise not
to have anything more to do with
herr"
In other words, do think she
man to her tremendously hard yaEk
to see if it would break? No, Madame,
don't. For this reason-if you did
that and the tie didn't break-as it
be easier, but in all probability the tie
would be weaker. For even the
strongest tie is weakened by such
treatment, and whether your husband
cares for the girl or not, that is likely
to irritate and estrange him.
There are two or three things which
you can do, according to your
strength. The best and hardest is to
try to strengthen that tie in every
way you know how, and then, II you
still must, make some saner test of its
strength.
But if the torture you are suffering
is too keen for you to take such slow
measures, the second best thing to d.
is to have a friendly talk with your
husband. In all probability the tor
ture chamb Der which you have built no
for yourself has its foundation merely
on few thoughtless words or acts of
your husband, and is constructed out
of your own imaginations. Doubtless
it is so unsu bstantial that a few words
from him will blow it to smithereens.
And If you approach him in the right
way and appeal to his tenderne ss, he
will probably say those few words
with eagernesS and sincerity. But not
if you threaten and antagonize him,
and show yourself to him in all the
ugliness of an attack of jealousy.
Sometimes, you know. an atmos-
phere of constant jealousy and sus-
ricion will produce the very thing 1t
fears.
convincing yourself of the groundless
ness of your suspicious, suppose you
read the greatest thing that was ever
written on this subject.
In other words, glance over your
OtheIlo.
1t may really help you to realize
how foolish you probably are.
