ELSA TAKES CHARGE.

'All you have to do said Elsa's sis

is TO heat up his food If he cries.
have left it in the icebox all ready"
Kitty kissed her baby as he lay sleep
ing in his bassinette. and embraced Elsa
before she left for the theater with her
husband.
Good practice for you, Else" Bobby
had called as a parting sally.
But Elsa did not smile as she turned
back into the house, deserted save for
a tiny atom Of humanity and herself.
She was not accustomed to the care OF
wee babies, and she was fearful OF the
moment when Kitty's infant would
awake and demand attention However
he might sleep quietly until his par
ents returned from the theater
Elsa tried to become absorbed in a
magazine. She could not, however, think
OF anything but her small charge, and
each time his little hands tossed about
in sleep her breath was suspended. When
once he caught his own breath Elsa's
heart almost stopped beating so fearful
was she of consequences. All sounds
were augmented in the stiffness OF the
night Every appalling catastrophy that
could possibly happen flashed wildly be-
fore her distorted vision.
Her restlessness eventually suggested
itself to the baby. He stirred, opened
his eyes and from a soft whimper. de-
veloped most Justly roar.
Elsa stopped anXiousIy over him and
took him into her arms. Her attempts
at quieting him had no effect. Baby con-
tinued to cry and his small face be-
came deep purple in his rage. Elsa put
him down and went into the kitchen to
heat his milk. But no sooner was he
left to himself than his bowling became
more intense and Elsa dashed back, fran
tic with fear. She forgot about the milk.
and a moment later a suffering sound
told her that IT had boiled up and over
the stove.
Elsa was ready to weep with nervous
ness and vowed never again to be left in
charge OF a tiny infant with her limited
experience. She put the baby down,
rushed into the kitchen, and turned out
the gas. but the milk had boiled over
and there was no more in the house.
Elsa's conception Of baby food consisted
entirely OF cows milk. Without that
baby could not eat She therefore deter
mined to. go out before the dairy closed
and get some. Fortunately. for the mo-
ment Bobby Junior was less noisy. Elsa
went quickly out and q gust Of wind
slammed the door shut
''oh!" gasped Elsa, I'm locked butt"
Thoroughly frightened, she ran swiftly |

around the house to find every door and
window locked. Bobby had taken every
precaution against intruders before going
TO the theater.
Suddenly it flashed across Elsa's trou-
bled brain that Kitty had once men
toned having very pleasant neighbors on
the north side Of her own house.
It was a very wild-eyed and disheveled
girl who stood outside the door when
Norman Roscoe opened II in response to
her imperious knock.
Have you any milk. and Will you
please come over and try to get me into
my sisters house?' Elsa asked quickly.
The young man eyed Elsa with q Pc
culiarly suspicious glance. His eyebrows
went up, and as they came down his
gaze travelled the entire length OF her
figure.
I'm not a thief and I'm not mad"
cried Elsa impatientIy, and If you don't
intend to help me out of my predIca-
ment I will have to find some one who
can" She would have turned away, but
Roscoe's hand detained her.
What is your trouble again." he Quss-
toned.
The wind slammed the door shut
when I came out to get some milk, and
I can't get in, and the baby is crying at
the top of his voice
Wait a second" said Roscoe, and
went into the house. He had heard
Bobby Juniors strenuous voice, and it
had scattered the doubt he had harbored
against the girl. He returned in a mo-
ment with a bottle of baby food. I'VE
keep these on tap" he told Elsa as he
put 1t into her hands.
It's ice cold" said Elsa, because she
did not know exactly what she was talk
ing about. so anxious was she to pacify
Bobby Junior.
ITS been in the icebox." Roscoe in
formed her dryly. You put it in hot
water before giving II to the baby" he
added. wandering if so lovely a girl were
entirely lacking in maternal instinct II
suppose you would have given it to him
like that"
Very probably" agreed Elsa, and
found that her anxiety permitted a slow
smile TO dawn in her eyes. You see ]
know nothing whatever about very
young boys" She glanced sideways at
him and wondered whether he were the
father Of FIVE or two.

allowed to infer that your interest in
older ones has warranted you in neg

You may infer anything you like so

locked door OF her sisters nome.

When he had tried unsuccessfully TO ad- |

means he resorted to foul, and put his |
list through the pane of window. After |

the last District appropriation act, and
at the same time they will enndeayor TO

FRUIT TREES MAY
REDUCE LIVING COST

Fruit trees in the parks of towns and
cities throughout the United States as
means to make living better and
cheaper, is proposal to the American
Society of Thrift in Chicago which will
have serious consideration.
This takes rank with another propos.
al that the plan adopted in many parts
of Europe and some parts of this coun-
try, of lining country roads with fruit
trees be adopted here also the fruit to
defray the cost of upkeep of the public
roads. The idea of putting more fruit
trees into the parks was proposed by a
Chicago pastor who has been awakened
to the moral Importance of thrift.
Other pastors, rectors and priests are
taking up cudgels against the extrava-
gance of the day and in some cases CO.
operating with the thrift movement,
launched by the Society for Thrift.
Rev. Almer Pennewel advocated fruit
trees in parks, saying: at is said that
King Solomon made gardens and parks
and planted all manner of fruit trees in
them. have thought great deal
more of Solomon since | read that.
Why not have fruit trees in our parks
from which the multitude may pluck
fruit and eat while they rest and
play?"

LONDON DOES NOT
LIKE SMALL BOXES

The Northwestern Fruit Exchange
has been canvassing the apple trade of
London to ascertain whether the small
apple box will be popular. 1t is the
general opinion that the small package
will not prove successful. Their rea-
sons given are as follows:
That portion of the fruit trade in
London which pays the highest prices
is that which caters to the require.
ments of the west.end clubs, hotels,
etc. The preparation of this fruit is
quite special business and entails the
use of variety of packages of differ
ent sizes and shapes according to the
requirements of the clientele of any
particular dealer. These dealers buy
their apples and pears from US in the
usual export cases and are prepared to
pay the highest price for the best arti-
Gle. 1t is extremely unlikely that
small box such as suggested by you
would be any advantage to them over
the bushel box, and if the latt9r worked
out cheaper by comparison, there would
be very little demand for the small
boxes.
Should the high class trade be dull at
any time, as is it on occasions, on ac-
count of the absence of wealthy classes
from town, we should be forced on to
the ordinary trade and be compelled to
accept prices which would not pay for
the extra cost of packing.
Although the above opinion is not
very favorable one for the introduction
of small box, should it be decided to
try the market with a few and thus
gain practical experience, a single
layer box, containing IL apples, or pos
sibly "a, is suggested.

THE BENEFITS FROM
DAIRY INSPECTION

tFrom Bulletin of Dairy and Food
Commission.)
The changes that have taken place
IN the dairy industry in Oregon since
pioneer days are of two kinds. viz,
changes due to modern appliances that
have tendency to commereialize the
Industry, and changes for the better
along sanitary lines.
Nearly five years ago the first sys-
tematle dairy inspection in Oregon be-
gan. The changes due TO modern ap-
pliances had been largely wrought pre-
Hlous TO the advent of the inspector.
lhe sanitary improvement came since.
The need for dairy inspection grew in
directly out Of the commercializing Of
the industry.
In olden times nearly every family
owned COW. In fact, the COW
was an indispensable member of the
family. The few families that were
"ithuot cows were supplied with milk
and butter by nearby neighbor whose
premises were under daily surveillance
IN neighborly way. If the conditions
were not satisfactory, the family pur-
chasing had first hand knowledge of
the fact. and could easily shift their
patronage to another neighbor. In
those days dairying was done on a small
scale, with very meager equipment.
Each dairy stood out as an individual
unit, marketing the finished product
from a single farm.
The centrifugal cream separator and
It's accessories made it possible to man.
ufacture butter more economically on a
larger scale. and now a hundred dairy
men, and in some cases thousand, are
dumping their cream, so to speak, in
the one vat. to be churned into butter
at the central plant. Even the major
portion of the milk and sweet cream
that is distributed about the big cities
IS the product of large number of
dalrles, each shipping daily to dis
trlbutlng plant, there to be mixed with
the product of many other farms and
its identity lost forever.
simultaneously with this change !
came the influx to the city, reducing
the proportionate number of producers
and greatly increasing the number of |
consumers. Thus the crowded city |
consumer has no longer the choice of |
dairyman from whom to purchase his |
milk and butter; he must buy from the |
common market that represents numer-
Gus dairies. The incentive on the part |
of the producer to please the individual
consumer is also largely destroy
ed by virtne of the mixing of the |
product with that of other dairies over |
which he has no control. These condi- |
tions have tendency to augment the |
already bad conditions on the average |
dairy farm, and it became necessary to |
exercise soc sort of public supervision
to offset the effects of dimishing care
due to the above changes.
