KEEPING MILK SWEET.

Interesting experiments have recent
ly been made concerning the influence
Of red light on milk. says the Scientihc
American. That light as such Is det-
rimental TO the conservation OF milk

rays really did the mischief has only
now been determined. when Ii was
found that the red rays are beneficial,
while those toward the violet side OF

Pure. fresh milk placed in an uncolored
glass bottle In the full sunlight and

to be completely spoiled and unfit for

Absolutely no difference could be de-
tected between the ordinary fresh"
milk and that which had been steril-

placed on small handcarts. On these

more. but To which many people give

CURLING FEATHERS.
How to Restore These Decorations to
Their Pristine L0veliness.

nef lUNellHeSs.
Ostrich feathers. although not so
tightly curled as the old fashioned
plumes. look even more bedraggled and
forlorn when out Of curl than the old
ones did. Yet fogs and mistS or rains
are as frequent as ever. and ostrich
feathers are now worn at all times of
the day aud night regardless Of the
weather. PlumetiS feathers were put
forward to fill the role of Il feather
which moisture would not change. but
they do not take the place Of the os-
trich feather.
There is only one thing to do If you
wear ostrich feathers. and that is to
learn how to curl them. Ii is impos-
sible to send IL feather To the profes-
sional cleaner to be curled every time
there is summer shower.
When the moist hat with feather
trimming is removed put it. If pos
sibe. near fire. Heat often restores
Il good deal of the lost curl. When this
is not possible let the feather dry thor
oughly and then recurl It with nail
file. the blunt edge of Il knife or some
other steel or silver blade which is not
sharp.
Work with one or two of the fronds
of the feather ut II time. Catch them
between the thumb and the blade near
the stem of the feather and slowly and
firmly draw the thumb and the blade
along the fronds TO the edge. If neces-
sary go over some of the feathers twice.
1t Is surprising how rapidly this curl
ing can be done. and If II Is carefully
done after Il little practice the feather
will look quite ms well as If it had been
curled by professional.

TO ORGANIZE GRANGE.
c. n. Anderson of L'Anse Believes
Success Will Meet Efforts.

| Secretary |. y. Haas of the Copper
! Country fair has received word from
c. n. Anderson. deputy grand master
Of the state grange. asking him if the
| fair is willing that the grange make
the fair its headquarters in attempting
to organize such a society here.
Mr. Haas advised Mr.. Anderson that
| the fair would do all IN its power to
make such an organization here pos
sible and that fair management was
only too anxious to stir up interest in
such an enterprise. Such a society here
would be Of benefit To the fair, Mr.
Haas considers, and in this he is borne
out by the other directors. The farm
ers are how being encouraged to bring
better and bigger exhibits to the fair
by Prof. Leo NJ Geismar and his help
in organizing the grange will be OF
great assistance.
Would Organize Grange.
Charles II. Anderson of L'Anse. dep
uty state grange organizer. has ex-
pressed desire To organize the pro-
posed branch in the Portage Lake dis
triCt. Organizer Anderson expresses
the hope that the grange be instituted
and he asserts that sufficient material
for such an organization now exists in
the Portage Lake district.
Kewcenaw is the only county in
which a grange does not now exists
and the organizer intends visiting that
district soon to perfect a district or
ganizaJion The organization of Salo
farmers recently was the result of ac-
tivity solely among themselves and the
charter was requested without solicit
tation of the organizers.
The Salo grange was inspired
through the publication Of proceedings
Of the Washington State Grange meet
ing at Spokane, Washington a year
ago. \ group Of eighteen farmers be-
came interested in the project and the
organization is the result of their ac-
tivities.

When the railroad is open and running all right the trail will be patronzed, but the people will keep an open mind ill the matter of routes, so that they can go by way of Valdez when ad- visable.
