WHY NOT CONSERVE WILD MEN!

Frnm the Springfield Oiassl Republican.
What to do with the intractable. un.
civilized race is a problem, but IL is Ger.
tain that some better way can be found
than determination. Take the fight al
Bagsak, for example OF which the papers
lately arriving from the Philippines give
graphic details. One will search the an
mails of war in vain for more heroic fight
ing than this last stand of Anil and his
men. Worthy of better cause" their
Manila chronicler calls the bravery. but
resistance TO invasion has always been
deemed a good cause-it was good enough
for Leonidas and his 40. who could do
no better than AmiIs Joloanos in fight
ing till the last man fell.
And why should invasion be necessary?
An island has been dedicated to wild
birds, islands are being offered for blue
foxes, enthusiasts propose reserving a
tropical islands for tigers and other ,big
game. Why should not an island Here
and there be left to find wild specimens
OF man? Isolated, they can do no
harm: a tin gunboat can prevent piracy.
and II strangers keep away they will not
be hurt-well-disposed strangers like
missionaries and r. l. Stevenson man.
age to win the friendship of the fiercest
natives.
There is no reason Sxhy everybody
should be civilized. and there is no reason
why we should not segregate- and save
interesting races which are incapable Of
civilization. The white mans bullet ex q.
terminated Anil and his band. the white
mans diseases are exterminating tie
mild Kanakas. Was II worth while? Mil
lions are spent on museums, why not
dedicate some islands as museums Of
primitive races?

throwing cayenne pepper on the trail the
dog would lose the scent, the convict
tried that trick but 1t failed. The dog
still kept on. crossing small river thir-

POINTS ABOUT STAMP BOOKS.

They Are Not Supposed to Get stuck
Up and Can He Redeemed.
From the Pathfinder.
| Notwithstanding Uncle Sam uses three
different kinds OF "stickum' on the backs
OF his postage stamps. according to the
season of the year, there is considerable
complaint from over the country about
the stamps not sticking where they should
and sticking where they shouldn't For
summer a hard gum is apt toSmake them
crack and come to pieces. In winter a
softer grade OF gum is employed, but IL
these winter stamps are held over until
the hot months they are liable to get
stuck on one another.
During the spring and fall the gum
is tempered to a medium consistency.
but this gum is little too soft for sum-
mer and too hard forwinter. In the
ordinary course of business the postof-
| fees usually get rid OF their stamps dur
| ing the season they were made for, but
sometimes a stock lasts over. and then
is when the patrons kick. The worst
difficulty Is with the little books Of
stamps which are issued for accommo-
dation OF people who like to have a sup
ply of stamps on hand in compact and
handy form.
These little books contain q cents
worth of stamps, and sell Tor . cents
So Uncle Sam gets an extra cent on the
stamps sold In this form. to pay for put
ting them up that way. He Is so pleased
with this branch OF the business that he
has decided to push the sale OF the
stamp books. and special efforts are 10
be made to improve them and suit them
in every way to the popular needs.
Ordinary postage stamp books, IL mutt
lated. injured. destroyed or lost are not
replaced or redeemed by Uncle Sam. nor
are mutilated or torn stamps acceptable
for the payment of postage, according TO
the strict rules. Every stamp that Is
thus barred out is just SO much loss TO
the patron and SO much gain to Uncle
Sam. of course. The total loss to the
public from this source in the course Of
a year is very large.
The postage stamp books. however. are
in a different category. The government
issues these books of stamps for the very
purpose OF having them in a convenient
form and SO they will not stick together.
and 1t virtually guarantees that they
will not stick. 1t is not generally known,
but any stamps from these books which
have become stuck to the leaves will be
redeemed il they are forwarded TO the
Postmaster General at Washington.

WARNING TO PARENTS.

II is risky to feed raw milk and
cream to children or invalids un-
less you are sure that at the farm
which produces the milk the ut
most cleanliness is observed at all
times. particularly during milk
ing; that the employees are thor
oughly healthy and cleanly per-
sons; that the cows are free from
diseases: that the water used for
rinsing is of undoubted purity. and
that the milk is quickly cooled
and kept cold and covered until
delivered to you.
Raw milk often produces Tuber-
culosis, Scarlet Fever. also Ty-
phoid and other intestinal dis
eases.
We can guard against infection
by properly pasteurizing milk or
by home pasteurization.
Properly pasteurizing milk (and
cream) by keeping II at 40 deg. F.
for twenty to thirty minutes does
not affect its nutritive value nor
its digestibility.
The best system is to pasteur-
fze the milk after 1t has been
bottled.
You can home pasteurize raw
milk by heating II to near boiling,
then cool, and keep cold and COW
cred until used.
Most indigestion In babies Is
caused by milk too rich in cream.
