A JOYOUS HOMECOMING,

With the return of our soldier boys
near at hand, early steps should be
taken TO give them o suitable recep-
ton. Nobody knows how much a bunch Of
lusty young men are worth to CON-
munity until they le We 1t, and SO con
spicuous has been the lull In the light
hearted merriment In our midst that
nothing short of the men composing
Company d will save US from the pail
Of ennui which has been growing daily
heavier since their departure. It in nc
way detracts from the holo due them
that each man does not carry one or more
"greaser's" scalps strung on his belt;
we will oil feel better as the years &c

friendship with Mexico are the fruits
Of calm elaboration instead Of bloody
battle, and these fruits will be much
sweeter and more st undant. Let's

At recent gathering Of residents Of
Towson, who met TO discuss ways and
means which might be used to break up
the business Of petty larceny which has
been extremely prevalent, attention
was called to aw.passed during the last
legislature which empowers any citizen
to arrest vagrant and take him to a
regular officer or hold him until an
officer can be summoned.
The existence of this law should be
borne in mind byeveryone. Itnotunfre.
quently happens that such violators Of
the law are allowed to escape when
they might be taken ot-handed in the
act Of stealing because the discoyerer
did not know that he could temporarily
hold the guilty party until writ could
be secured.

HIGH TEMPERATURE OF MILK
Bitterness Will Not BE In Evidence
During Winter II Liquid 10 Kept
at so or 60 Degrees.

Maybe you have had experience
with bitter milk and cream In the
wintertime and wonder why you are
never bothered that way in summer
Is 1t the feed?
All the changes that occur in milk
and cream. such as souring, are due
to the action OF bacteria-the little NIL
croscopic plants that nature has pro-
vided to tear down the larger plant
and animal tissues. II 1t were not for
bacteria nothing would decay.
But as in the higher plant life we
have weeds-so In the microscopic
plant life we have weeds-the unde-
sirable bacteria. The Tactic acid bac-
terra that sour milk and cream are
beneficial. They can quite readily be
controlled so as to be made useful
rather than harmful. But there Is q
class Of weed bacteria that causes the
milk and cream to become bitter In
winter. These weed bacteria only
flourish in very low temperatures.
They are like some Of the snow flow
ers of the high mountain peaks, resist
ant to cold.
In summer, and In winter, IL the
milk and cream are kept at summer
temperatures, they are kept In check
by the other kinds Of bacteria, just as
ragweed Is kept smothered out by
good growth Of clover. In winter
when you allow your milk and cream
to get clear down to freezing the Tactic
acid, or souring bacteria, are not
growing. The bacteria that cause the
bitter flavor have full swing because
they flourish in cold milk.
II you want to overcome this bitter
flavor all you have to do is to keep
the milk and cream at a higher tenn
perature-say around so or 60 degrees
and the bitterness will not be In
evidence.

are numberless frocks that run after

These are the unusual things which

self, too"
Before Bransome departed it was
understood that they were engaged.
And Lionel Travis ring reposed In
Bransome's pocket to be handed to
the agent If they met. Bransome
would affect ignorance of the contents
'of the little box. 1t was cruel mis-
tsion, but there was no way Of getting
a letter to Travis, who might be in
any part Of the coast.
Bransome sailed the following day,
and, fifteen days later, arrived with
his regiment at the coast town. All
the interior was in ferment. The
regiment was sent UP hastily to the
base, where it halted while the pio-
neers cut roads through the forest.
And it was there that Bransome met
Travis.
He was to accompany the column
as political delegate to the loyal tribes.
The two men, who knew each other,
greeted each other warmly. though
Bransome naturally showed something
of constraint. Travis lunched in the
mess. and they smoked their cigars
together afterward. When Travis rose
to depart to his quarters Bransome
spoke of Mary Starr for the first time.
"She asked me to give you this" he
said, handing him the little box con-
tanning the ring.
"Thanks!" said Travis indiferently
and slipped 1t into his pocket.
The column started a day or two
later, Travis accompanying 1t. Often
thu men exchanged words. Bransome
would look curiously at Travis, but ne
could gather nothing from the agents
inscrutable countenance.
There was, however, little time for
thinking. On the sixth day the enc
my's stronghold was sighted. The
messenger who went forward with q
summons to surrender was met with
defiant shouts from the negroes. Half
an hour later the seven-pounders
opened fire on the rebel stockade.
A fusillade from elephant guns fol-
lowed, but few OF the attacking party
were hit. Presently the guns ceased; ;
a breach had been made In the strong
walls, built of hardwood logs and al
most as resistant as cement and NOR
tar.

Bransome had knewn Mary for FIVE

him to his home in England. Now
Bransome, with the acting rank OF

to put down the rebellion OF the Kru

And he loved Mary.
But he knew that she was engaged
to Lionel Travis, the political agent
among the Krus, who had made his
escape to the coast after sanguinary
fighting.
Yet they loved, and love was strong

REMEDY FOR cHAPPED TEATS
Trouble May Be Slight, or IL May De-
velop Into Deep, Gaping Sores
Uso VaselIne.

Chapped teats may be caused by
anything that initiates them. as, for
example, the sudden chilling OF the
teat In winter after the calf has just
let go, milking with wet hands, or con-
tact with cold. dirty water. The trou-
BILE may be slight, or 1t may develop
into deep, gaping sores.
The use of vaseline at the first sign
of the trouble will usually check and
cure it. If the teats are badly chapped,
thorough washing in warm water. fol-
lowed by application of glycerite OF
tannin or equal parts Of spermaceti
and oil OF sweet almonds is to be rec
commended.
