OF. YOuse Dead.

o. M. Youse died very sudden
ly at his home In the northwest
part of town Sunday little after
noon. He had been in his usual
good health, and that morning
had been at work thawing oat
the water pipes of his house.
He came in the house and laid
down, being a little tired, and
his heart began to hurt him.
Mrs. Youse and the two younger
children we're at church. The
little girl, Lillian, however, had
come home ahead of her mother,
and Mr.. Youse told her to call
the doctor. She called Mr.. and
Mrs Ed. Covey, instead, and by
the time they arrived, Mr.. Youse
was feeling better. In a few
moments he was stricken again,
and Mr.. Covey called DR.. Spauld-
ing, who arrived in 4 few mo-
ments. His wife arrived home
about that time and he was talk.
ing with her, when all at once
he said Minnie, everything is
turning black" Before the doc
tor could reach his side he had
passed away.

county, Indiana, October 8, 1865,
and came to Baxter Springs, in
1891. He was married Sept. 6,
1898, to Miss Minnie Pinnick,
daughter of W. D. Pinnick. To
this union FIVE children were born,

One of the very smallest tricks
ever perpetrated vas that of the
county commissioners of Ottawa
county, just south of US. A few
days ago they found the county
needed some printed supplies, and
instead Of getting the work done
by the print shops of the county,
they gave the work to a city
shop, at higher prices than they
would have paid to home shops.
The home shops pay taxes and
boost the county, but they are
peualized for so doing. If the

Iocust's Initial.

MY nephew, Perry Putter, found a
locust some time ago, with a we'll
defined W. on its back" related old
Riley Rezzidew, land knew for certain
that 1t meant war with Mexico, and
so told everybody who would listen.
Then he went incoming around for a
spell and didn't talk any more about
war, and the first thing l knew he had
got married. Presently he came to me
and said that he had been mistaken In
his first conclusion about the locust:
he had decided that he'd read the ini-
tial wrong side up, and that he should
have turned 1t the other way, when, Of
course, 1t would have been an M
standing, as he was persuaded, for
'matrimony.'
"'Well,' says /, as you married a
widow with six children and a head of
hair that looks like the sun rising
through q fog, l reckon 1t will be lust
as well for you to leave the locust's
initial its original side up, and pre-
pare for kansas City Star.

TO SEEK MISSING EXPLORERS
Russians Who Went to Arctic in

Apparently hope has not been ahan'

In the steam schooner Saint Anna,

charge Of the geologist, NJ. B%onsanoff.
Traces may be discovered in the north
ern Arctic, in the vicinity of Green
land, and of the North American arch
lpclugo.
Through the consul general for Rus
sin appeals are made TO all commercial
enterprises, nnyIgators, and scientific
expeditions cruising In the polar seas
and engaged In research work in these
regions, and also to the inhabitants
along the Coastline, to devote efforts
to the discovery of traces of the miss

BIRDS SPREAD HOG DISEASES
Crows and Buzzards Tear Flesh Of
Dead Animals and Garry lnfec-
ton to ~Neiehborine Farm.

Crows and buzzards are all right
where they belong, but they have no
place in the hog lot. The buz2ards
especially are most excellent disease
s~preaders. Wherever Il dead animal
of any kind lies exposed for any
length of time these scavengcrs will
soon appear. They use their strong
claws for tearing the flesh and when
they 90 to the next place carry pieces
of flesh and q load OF infection with
them. If an animal dies of some in
fectiouS disease and is left for the
buZzards to get ut they are sure to
carry the germs to their next banquet
hall, probably some hog lot 20 miles
away.
Throughout the South they are pro-
tected because of their value as Scav-
engers, and where they are found in
abundance hog cholera preyails-if all
the hogs have not already died Off.
The only way to fight this form of con-
tagiOn is to maintain such conditions
that buzzards and crows will not be
attracted.
The safe way to handle any animals
dying of contagious diseases is to burn
them. If buried, dogs may dig them
up and carry germs all over the coun-
try on their feet.

KEEPING MILK SWEET
Absolute Cleanliness the First
Great Essential.
If Kept on Ice Almost From Time Of
Milking There Will Be Little De-
Velopment of Bacteria
Points for Cooling.
(By W. r.

Ii is a well-known fact that milk
does sour, hut not everyone is ac-
Quainted with the changes which take
place during the %Souring process, the
cause of these changes, and how to
prevent them. \ knowledge of the
changes which take place during the
period of Souring, and their causes,
enables one, taking reasonable precau-
tons, to preserve milk in its naturally
sweet condition for a number of addi-
tional hours.
MIX contains a sugar, known as
milk sugar, which is changed by the
action of the smallest of plant forms,
called bacteria, into Tactic acid, When
about one-half of n per cent of this
acid has been produced, the milk-curd
separates and forms n solid mass with
clear acid whey about it. This acid
preserves the curd by preventing the
action of bacteria which would rot the
curd and produce offensive odors.
Two classes of bacteria begin to
grow and multiply in milk shortly aft
er milking; the Tactic which Sours the
milk, and the digesting which rots the
curd. The latter class is like the oat-
plant. in that it is able to grow at
a low temperature, while the Tactic,
like the compliant. grows best at the
higher temperatures.

temperature will remain sweet for one

rass their later years.
1t is also well 10 remember recrea-
ton must enter into the daily plan Of
life TO make existence worth while.
The housewife who tolls seven days a
week, year in and year out, soon loses
her freshness, bu0yancy, the art of be
ing cOmpanionable and her power to
generate or hold love. Every wife has
a right to a reasonable amount of
pleasure being provided her, as her
husbands circumstances will permit.
Otherwise husband and wife will
steadily drift apart.
The stingy husband never thinks Of
offering his wife a weekly amount of
pin money which she may spend with
out being Obliged to account for it's
expenditure, yet if he lost his good
wife and was obliged to employ either
a housekeeper or just a maid of all
work, he would Don learn what a
recompense other women expect and
exact for their top-price wages, a
hearty breakfast, luncheon and din
ner. l would like to hear him suggest
to such a n how much or how little
she should eat or hint at her giving
up her recreation days of every other
Thursday and Sunday, with evenings
into the bargain.
There are certain meek, submissive
women the tight-fisted martinez of a
husband can keep in subsection. There
are other women whom he would not
dare attempt to coerce against their

MEN WHOSE GOD IS MONEY.

Money, the life blood Nf the nation,
Corrupts and sta in the veins,
Unless a proper circulation
Its motion and its heat maintains.
Everyone respects the man who is
prudent as much as he abhars q

as being too careful OF the pennies
and making a miser Of oneself. If a
man has only himself to consider, he
only Is hurt in health if he allows HIM
self but the price of enough food to
keep soul and body together, though
his pockets are heavy with gold. If
ne has a wife whose comfort and hap
piness are at stake, he has no right
to put her to bodily discomfort and
cause her heartsick despair. The
wife who Is dolcd out only sufficient
means to keep starvation at bay oOn
begins to lost respect for her over
thrifty spouse. Then dislike edges it's
way in, leaving a wide gap for actual
hatred to enter.
1t Is n well-established fact that only
those who save carefully insure them
selves against want in their old age,
yet those who deny themselves SUI
