DON'T SWALLOW MILK FAST
Unless II is Properly chewed, curds
Are Sure to Form in
the Stomach.

Milk. fresh from the bovine font,
with its rich store of vitamines and
engines, with the finest quality of pro-
TEN for brain and muscle building,
salts to stiffen the bony framework
and to brighten the vital fires of the
body, is a natural product. Not only
is it not improved by the art of cook
cry, but it is actually damaged by it
and rendered incapable of supplying
in the highest degree those subtle ele-
ments which are essential to good nu-
triton.
A word should be said about how to
take milk. 1t should be eaten, not
swallowed as a beverage, DIR. ]. III.
Kellogg asserts in Good Health.
All foods need to be masticated. The
calf and the nursing infant chew milk.
The movements of the jaws and the
sucking movements executed by an in
FAINT In nursing induce IN abundant
flow Of saliva, which dilutes 1t, and to
a high degree promotes its digestion.
Milk, when swallowed rapidly as a
beverage is likely to form in the
stomach large and hard curds, which
are very slowly digested. Many per-
sons who suffer from taking milk in
this way imagine themselves to be I'M
able to take milk, and so abandon its
use.
Milk should be slipped slowly and
with a sucking movement of the
throat 90 oe RI Socura a liberal admix-
ture of saliva. BY this means the for
nation of hard, indigestible curds may
be prevented.
Milk also must be taken in right
quantities and in right combinations.
1t cannot be denied that milk digests
better when taken by itself or in very
simple combinations than when mixed
with a large variety of other food
stuffs.

Bad Boy of Colonial Days.

A notebook of a justice of the peace
in Connecticut in the year 1850 speci-
fies the behavior of a certain small
meeting house boy as follows:
A rude and idel behaver In the met

and intiseing others to the same evil.
Such as laring or smiling and pull

in a hall room In a modest boarding
house and ate his luncheons In a quick

QUEEN OF NATURE TAKERS
Dove Deliberately Pretends to Be
Wounded, With the Idea That She
VIII Gain Sympathy.

Bessie's sole aim in life has been to
prove that p. L. Barnum was right
when he pulled that zone a minute
stuff. But Bessie was unmasked the
other day, according to a New York
correspondent. Her position as Queen
of the Nature Fakers'' went awry, and
If she wants to wiring tears from the
women who visit the New York Zoolog-
teal park she will have to think up q
new sympathy producer.
Fitted by nature to be a faker, Bes-
sic, the bleeding heart dove, made the
most Of 1t. On her breast she has an
irregular red streak which looks like
a wound. Bessie soon learned that
she could gain a lot of sympathy by
pretending to curl up and expire when
a woman screamed for a keeper to at.
tend the birds injury.
The other day a woman who had been
the victim of Bessie's use a year ago
visited the birdhouse with a friend.
Her companion started to make the
usual protest against the cruelty of let.
ting a poor little dove suffer, when the
woman recognized that Bessie was
simply giving an encore of her per.
Torrance of the year before. She gazed
fxedly at the apparently expiring dove,
then said: "You little fake. Aren't
you ashamed?" and led her friend
away, while Bessie resumed her inter.
rupted dinner of rice kernels.
