PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT
Babies In Hot Weather.


A baby must be kept as cool
, as possible In summer, because
overheating is direct cause of
, summer diarrhen. Even breast
fed babies find it hard to resist
, the weakening effects of Excess
, sive heat. Records show that
, thousands of babies. most OF
, whom are bottle fed, die every
year in July and August, because
, of the direct or indirect effects
of the heat. Next in Importance
to right food In summer are
measures for keeping the baby
) cool and comfortable; frequent
baths, light clothing and the Sc

Strawberry RYproducts.

Each year thousands of bushels OF
Strawberries go to waste because of
low prices or some adverse condition.
The department Of agriculture has
therefore prepared bulletins on the

Two independent districts lying con-

His idea is to utilize the new
High School. the several ward

agricultural teaching of our
High School now under the di-
rection of Prof. Kemp, together
with such; other facilities as
may be added, so as to make
the work of this Consolidated
High School as practical in its
class room work, its laboratory
and biological departments,
and in its actual field work as
possible.
This has been carried out so
successfully in some states as

training aid the farmers. es-

week all without expense. as
his salary comes out of the
state aid for such schools.
So we'll pleased we're those
present that it was decided to
investigate more closely the
feasibility Of su.-h plan. To
this erd, Pres. McGavren was
authorized to appoint as COM
mittee one representative citi-
zen from each school district in
the township to talk over the
matter further and to formulate
some plan of union to be pre-
scented later.

Last evening the loyal men,
bers of the "Class Of Sixteen"
met at the home of Miss Elleta
Everett on Sixth ST., for the
purpose of composing the Class
song. Miss Elsa Johnson was
in her place at the piano and
the rest of the class, supplied
with pencils and papers pro-
ceedeG to turn their minds into
poetical channels. About ten
o'clock this work was laid
aside and a glorious good time
ensued. The guests gathered
around a long table in the din
ing room and were presented
with little white books, maya
zines, scissors and paste and
were instructed to make the
life history in pictures of the
p4rson whose name was on tie
outside of the book. 1t was ar.
ranged SO that the boys made
the girls histories and vice

spent in the mad scramble for

Leland Items

The Fourth is over at Leland and
it proved to be very quiet day as
most of the citizens went to other
places to celebrate. A few went to
Spokane, some to Lewiston but the
largest number went to Southwick
as that was the nearest point where
celebration was to take place.
The Leland preacher and Milton
Woodward spent very enjoyable
day, July 4th, at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Humid.
Owing to so much wet weather
lately it was necessary for some of
the farmers on the ridge to cultivate
beans on the Fourth of July. Every
day counts now as most of the beans
are quite badly in need of cultiva-
ton.
Mrs. Russell Smith and Mrs. De-
Winter have been on the sick list
for day or two but both are much
better at this writing.
The new stage driver from Kend-
rick to Southwick is looking pleas
ant as he passes thru the village.
Mrs. Hall and son, Claude, who
have been visiting Mrs. Halls sis
ter for the past three weeks, are
expected to return home Thursday
of this week. Mrs. DeWinter is
also expected home soon.
Mrs. Hechtner is improving in
health. We hope she may soon be
fully recovered from her illness and
that we may see her out again.
Mrs. Piper returned Monday, from
a ten days stay at the campmeetine
near Pullman. She reports a gooC
time.
Rev. Dills and Rev. Hall spent
part of the day with N. B. Long in
Kendrick Monday, dining with then
and having a pleasant time.

either artificial or natural.
But by simply pouring new milk back
and forth from one pail or can into an
other we may do very good job at
cooling at no other expense than the
outlay of a little time and strength.
And certainly this is great deal bet
ter than to have the milk sour or re-
tain it's bad favor until it reaches the
customer. for it is a fact that the nat

process of decay.
The care of milk in warm weather
includes keeping every pan, strainer,
can, pail and cloth that is in any way
connected with the business just as
clean as possible. If the least bit Of
milk or cream or even creamy water
be left on one Of these things in very
little while heat starts the rotting pro-
cess, and that is disastrous to good
milk, cream or butter.
The good care of milk also has a
bearing on the way the stable work is
done. Clean stables, clean cows and
clean clothes for the mixers all have
their part to bear in the production of
first class dairy products.

very severe attack of cholera NOR

me from four a. m. to 6 p. m. with
out giving me any relief and then

live; that had best telegraph for
my family. Instead &C doing so,

Diversity of Farm Enterprises.

In most cases where studies on the
profits in farming have been made,
particularly in our oldest agricultural
districts, such studies indicate that the
most successful farms are those which
have from two to four major sources
of income-namely, they have a well
balanced and diversified business. In
certain instances it may pay better to
have only one enterprise. but usually
when one crop pays much better than
all others the production of it increases
rapidly and soon the price falls to the
point where other crops or products
are equally as profitable. Diversified
farming is often confused with farm
ing where there is a little of every
thing and not much of anything. Either
extreme lessons the chances Of sue
cess. When the price of certain crops
is very low then live stock usually be-
comes desirable However, If the re-
turns per animal are poor, cash crops
even at a low price are essential A
we'll balanced business insures against
losses and provides a much better
utilization Of the labor and equipment

SUMMER CARE OF MILK.
Should Be Strained and Cooled as
Soon as Drawn From the Cow.


Just as soon as the weather gets
warm our milk is at once taken out Of
the stable after it is taken from the
cow and strained into a can, writes a
correspondent of the Iowa Homestead.
When we have as much in this can as
we can cool conveniently we take an
other and set the first one into tub Of
water right from the well. If we had
a stream of running water we would
use trough for this purpose. lowering

for agricultural use. There is a
great variety of elevation, soil and
climate; consequently fruit, grain
and stock raising are suitable to
various sections of the lands. The
land, taken as whole, is we'll wat
cred, has timber available and is
fairly accessible to railway trans
portation. A we'll settled farming
and mining country surrounds the
Reservation.
That portion of the Reservation
lying west from the San Poll River
consists of rolling bench lands with
sufficient natural moisture for farm
ing and is similar to the bench lands
west of the Okanogan and south of
the Columbia River in the Big Bend
country. Along the Okanogan
country are a number of benches of
low altitude totallng several thous-
and acres in extent which under

Department of the Interior has de-

Certain lands on the Reservation
not designated by the General Land
Office as coming under the 32O-acre
Homestead Act will be thrown open

Practically any American citizen

his intention to become citizen of
the United States may secure land

1t is said that there are more

the Jersey is an efficient and profit
