To Keep Milk From Curdhfia.

An important particular in which
COWS milk differs from mothers milk
for feeding infants is that the former
Is likely to curdle. Some children fed
on cows milk are apt to suffer from
the formation of large, tough curds. II
citrate of soda is added to milk in the
proportion Of half dram of soda to
pint of milk no curds will be formed.
Given in this proportion, citrate of
soda is said to be entirely harmless
and is often Sound very useful In feed
ing infants. The addition of barley
water or any other thin cereal cruel
has much the same effect.

ARE WOMEN sNOBs?

Many years ago when DR.. Willis q.
Craig was pastor of the First West
minister church, he had in his congre-
cation woman who was forever hav-
ing her feelings hurt. DIR. Craig said
to her, "My sister. don't you know
that no lady would hurt your feelings,
and the other kind ought not be able
to hurt you"
And so in answering this Indictment
which is often made against women,
we might we'll use Dr. Craig's philoso-
ply and say that no lady is snob,
if they are snobs they are "the other
kind"
In the magazine discussions for and
against college sororities, the chief
argument against them is that 1t
makes snobs of the young women who
belong to them. Observation will
prove that woman whose social po
sition was born with her and which
is a part Of her just as the color OF
her eyes, is never snob. A woman
who has married her social position,
or who has come into 1t by the acct
dent Of money, and to whom 1t is so
strange that it seems too good to be
true, is the woman who is snob. She
sits up nights with her social position
and is on guard for its safety every
minute. And the great Joke of It is,
that everybody sees just what she's
doing and smile behind their fans
while she labors on thinking she has
the whole social world fooled into
thinking she is somebody.
The Indictment doesn't belong to
women as a class; the number OF
women who think, and who take an
interest In life in large way In
creases every year, and In proper.
ton with this increase, the woman
with the narrow mind decreases and
in time the snob will. in Burbank's
phrase, be selected out"

KEokUk INTERESTED IN THE
WORK OF dorado TAFT

dorado Taft in whom Keokuk feels
special interest because of his visits
to this city, has recently finished a
monument for the Midway Plaisance
between Washington and Jackson
parks in Chicago. which Gutzen Borg
lum has pronounced as one OF Amer
ica's greatest works OF art. 1t is
called "The Fountain Of Time" and
the motif was suggested to Mr.. Taft
by Dobson's lines:
thine goes. you say? All, no;
Alas time stays; we go"
The design is of great waves as
from the sea. which in breaking, form
people; first the youth who fights It,
then to the old man who submits will
lingly to the humiliation 1t brings.
The commission which was given
Mr.. Taft several years ago. is from
the Furgison trust fund which yields
$4,000 annually to be used under the
direction of the Art Institute of Chi
cago. The carrying out OF this com.
mission is life task for dorado Taft;
already he has made series of splen-
did monuments, the Fountain OF
Time" being his latest work.

Billy Sunday and a

Billy Sunday lived IN Iowa during
his boyhood days and began his evan
gelistic work in Iowa with J. VIII
bur Chapman. In those days he had
none Of the mannerisms and free
and easy style of rhetoric and oratory
which characterize him today. When
]. Wilbur Chapman accepted a pas
torate in the east, his assistant, VIII
liam A. Sunday, decided to undertake
evangelistic work with the assistance
of a gospel singer. His second series
of meetings were held in Sigourney
in 1898. At that time, DR.. Frank G..
Beardsley was a young man, a mere
boy indeed. attending theological
seminary in Chicago. At various
times he preached in Congregation

ing the Christmas vacation he con-
Quoted a series Of evangelistic meet
ings there. The meetings proved
very successful and were full of In
interest and continued for six weeks.
Billy Sunday, in Sigourney, heard
of the work being done and one dav
announced: "I won't be here tomor-
row for I am going down to Webster
to help that boy" The next after
noon there walked into the little
church two strange men, whom DR..

A Boulder With a History

That a prophet is not without re-
ward save in his own country is true
often Of inani1nate things as we'll as
of people Scores Of people go up
and down North Fifth street. without
giving a second look at a boulder
which stands on the lawn Of Mrs. Ar
thur II. Moody's residence at the
corner Of Fifth and High streets, a
boulder which is of great interest to
biologists and school men all over
the country. The story is told that
when DR.. McClel,and was president of
Knox college, came here few years
ago to visit his sister Mrs. l.. H. Aver,
ST., he went to see the boulder first.
The stone belongs to Mrs. Gibson
H. Browne and is. Jasper conglomer-
ate: as it's name signifies 1t Is made
up of innumerable small stones ce-
mented together in some early geo.
logical period. There is only one
ledge OF this rock in America and
that is found at the juncture Of Lake
Superior and Lake Huron at Sault
Ste. Marie on the Canadian side. This
boulder was brought down to the Mis-
sippi valley during the glacial period
and is held by scientists to be one
conclusive proof of the direction of
the glacial movement. that Is from
the northeast.
A few years ago Superintendent
William Aldrich was doing some work
in petrology. in the Chicago university
under DR.. George. and seeing a speci-
men OF Jaspeh conglomorate, Prof.
Aldrich said. There is boulder OF
this in Keokuk." DR.. George very
politely but decidedly explained that
there were no specimens to be found
except at the Sault. When Prof. AL
drich came home he asked the privi-
lege of taking small specimen from
the base of the boulder to send to the
University of Chicago to prove his
assertion and the specimen Is there
