President Wilson has given the critics
plenty to do. In fact. everything that
be has done which il different from
J the actions OF his predecessor has
given the friends OF the former presi-
dent 4 cue to carp and complain. But
that Is to be expected. 1t is rather
hard for a party which has been In

out making fuss about 1t.
Besides President Taft gathered
about him quite number Of very de-
voted followers who became united in
their dislike of Roosevelt and their an
tipathy to certain Democrats. These
are bound to be on hand with COM
plants about the manner in which
things around the White House are
managed. Meanwhile It may be well
to keep In mind that Wilson Is going
to be president for the next 70. years.
The Noties to Office Seekers.
Probably nothing caused quite 30
much anguish as the decision of Presi-
dent Wilson that he would not see Of

ting an Office it Is the dearest Joy OF
an applicant to be able to have heart
to heart talk with the president and
tell him what great work the aforesaid
once seeker put In for the man in the
seat Of power. He. at least. has some
thing to take home with him.
Not since the days Of Chester A. Ar
thur has there been anything like the
turning Of appointment Of officers over
to cabinet members. That president
relied almost wholly upon his cabinet
to mike the appointments. and they
were very successful. When Cleve-
land came into Office he took personal

MiLK \ VALUABIE FOOD.
k Exsrts . Marked Protective lneu. enos Upon Our OrsaWs.

k Exsrts . Marked Protective lnNu- snes Upon Our Organs.
 Milk is our most valuable food. and there is no form of diet which exerts so marked 8 protective infu- ence upon our organs as that of milk, because it contains so little material of an irritating kind. Milk can; however, only be accepted as really good when it is taken as it comes from the cow-that is, raw and when there is certainty that it has come from a healthy animal.
 I wish to add here that certain bacilli are always present in raw milk and that they prevent the for nation of large numbers of other bacteria, such as those of typhoid fever. The latter cannot develop in raw milk. When the milk has been boiled or sterilized, however, typhoid bacilli which have got into it will remain in it for months, as we'll as other forms of poisonous bacteria which are injurious to chil- dren. When raw milk free of all objections cannot be obtained it is best to use buttermilk.
 Some persons possess an antipathy to milk, which in its ordinary form is not we'll tolerated by their stom- achs. This is especially noticeable in women and young girls. In such cases the milk may be diluted one third with some alkaline mineral water, such as vichy celestins. The addition of some fine flour may also render the milk more digestible and hence better borne. Small children, too, sometimes prefer milk given to them in this form. For those who cannot tolerate ordinary milk the more easily digested buttermilk may be used.
 Milk should be taken raw, but circumstances may present them selves, however, when a glass of hot milk will exert beneficial influence upon the system. This is the case, for instance, where one has been out on a damp, cold day and comes in feeling chilled, as by drinking hot milk we greatly stimulate the activity of the skin. In colds, if early in the morning or on rising hot whey or hot milk is taken, it will exert favorable influence upon the infamed mucus membranes.
 To warm the body up on cold, frosty day tea is often used, but from the standpoint of health milk is better. The yolks of one or two eggs make of milk very strength ening drink.-Health and Longev- ity.

MOTHER AMADEUS
 ID LEAVE ALASKA
Going South on the AIamoda-ln- vites Friends to CaII-Spent
 Winter in North.

Reverend Mother Amadeus Dunne, PriOres Provincial of the Ursaline Order in Alaska, is in Valdez for a few days only, un- til the sailing of the Alameda ,on which she will leave for the states, to secure the assistance of more nuns for the establish ment of a house which will be permanent headquarters for the educational work throughout Alaska. The location of the house is not yet definitely de- cided.
 On account of the fatigue of travel, having come directly from St. Michaels where she spent the winter, also occupied with busi- ness affairs, she has been unable to meet those who have kindly called upon her. She desires greatly to receive the friends of the Convent, to personally thank them for theirs generous patron age and the appreciation shown by them of the efforts of the nuns in this city.
 She invites those who intend to call upon her, to do so at any hour between 1:30 and 5:30 D.. m. on Saturday and Sunday; or else between and fl 80 a. m. on Saturday.
 Reverend Mother regrets ex- ceedingly that her stay must be so short and that she cannot promise to return to Valdez. She will be accompanied on her trip by Sister Angela, who will thus gain much needed rest from her arduOus lessons.

Eakimo Lamps.

It is believed that the Eskimo lamp was invented before its posses sors emigrated from their original home, which was probably farther south and near the seacoast. But the form ofsthe lamp becomes more specialized the higher the latitude is. The lamps of southern Alaska have wick edge of two inches, while those of Point Barrow and northern Greenland have wick edges of seventeen to thirty-siA inches. The lamp is employed for melting snow and ice to obtain drinking water, for cooking, light ing, warming, drying skins and in the arts. It is also social factor and the sign of the family unit, each head of the family having his lamp.-Harper's Weekly.

 "Did you ever sit by campfire and watch the flames dance and the sparks fly upward into the cool, dark air? Did you ever see the fitful light among the tree depths, at one moment opening vast shad- owy vistas into the forest, at the next dying downward and leaving it all in somber mystery? And what a friendly and companionable thing a campfire is! How generous and outright it is! It plays for you when you wish to be lively, and it glows for you when you wish to be reflective"
