ANSWERED PRAYER

-
I asked for bread. God gave me a
stone instead.
Yet, while / pillowed there my ach-
ing head,
The angels made a ladder Of my
dreams
Which upwards to celestial mountains
led.
And when l woke before the morn
ing's beams
Around my resting place the mama
lay.
And praising God, I went upon my
way.
For l was fed.
l asked for strength, for with the
noontide heat
I tainted while the reapers singing
sweet
Went forth with sheaves l could
not bear.
Then came the Msater with his blood
stained feet,
And lifted me with sympathetic
care.
Then on his arm / leaned till all was
done.
l stood with the rest at set of sun.
My task complete.
I asked for light. Around me closed
the night,
No guiding star met my bewildred
sight,
For storm clouds gathered in a tenn
pest near.
Yet in the lightning blazing, roaring
flight
I saw the way before me straight and
clear.
What though His leading pillar was
of fire,
And not the sunbeams of my hearts
desire?
My path was bright.
God answers prayers sometimes when
hearts are weak.
He gives the very gifts believers seek.
But often faith must learn a deeper
rest,
And trust Gods silence wren He does
not speak.
For He, whose name is Love, will
send the best.
Stars may burn out, nor mountains
wall endure.
But God is true. His promises are
sure.
To those who seek.

The Democratizing of Business
By ARTHUR CAPPER, Governor of the State of Kansas

the servant of 100000 900 consumers.
Its purpose is to show the farmer, for
example, why he should buy improved
machinery, what specific make Of
machinery is best adapted to his par
ticular purpose and where and how
he can find the thing he needs. It is to
show the housewife what, where and
how to buy household supplies. It is
to inform the business man about
equipment, methods and systems.
1t is, in short, primarily to serve
the buyer. Beyond that it must carry
the stamp of the ~genuineness, the
worth, the quality Of the article whose
sale it promotes. These two things
are the only excuse for the existence
of advertising as a business utility.
1t is obvious that any system which
enables the purchaser to find more
readily the thing he wants is Of eco
nomic value to the purchaser; it low
ers the cost to him in time and effort
even if it does nothing more. But it
facilitates distribution and SO lowers
to the seller the cost Of distribution
and should lower the cost to the con
sumner.
It is likewise obvious that any sys-
TEN which increases demand for a
manufactured article and SO compels
the manufacturer to produce in larger
quantities, will decrease the cost of
production.
But advertising has an economic
value beyond that-a value based up
on the stamp of value, the guarantee
which goes with known quality. 1t
removes the element of uncertainty
in the purchase of commodities and
so actually increases the value of the
commodity.
The purchases gets more for his
money. The cost has been lowered.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1917-05-03
P~ASTEURIZATION

After the food has been mixed and
put in the feeding bottles, and the
bottles stoppered with clean absorbent
cotton or covered with paper caps, it
should be pasteurized. This can re
done best by placing the bottles in a
double cooker, and putting in a Their
mometer and heating until the water
is $50 degrees. The cooker should
then be moved to the back of the
stove so as to keep the temperature
between 140 and $50 degrees for 80
minutes. This is necessary to kill
the harmful germs which may get
into even the best milk.
The same result can be reached it
you have no thermometer, by heating
until the water around the bottles
just comes to a boil and then setting
on the back of the stove for 80 min
utes.
A Home Ice Box
After pasteurizing, cool the milk at
once and keep it on the ice.
An ice box can be made
at home. Procure a wooden
box about IS inches square; put a
layer of sawdust three inches thick
in the bottom Of the box; fill in with
sawdust around a 10-quart tin pail.
Around this pail a cardboard collar
may be used to keep the sawdust in
place.
It. is a good thing to put a layer
of cheesecloth over the surface of
the sawdust. Inside this pail place
another small pail. If desired, the
ice may be kept in the inner pail and
the bottles placed in the larger pail
The pail should be securely covered
and a bag of sawdust placed over it.
The outer box should be tightly clos
ed by a wooden cover with several
thicknesses of newspaper. The in
ner pail should be taken out and
cleaned every morning.
Warm the milk again before feed
ing. Never keep the feeding bottle
warm all night, as the germs will fer
ment the milk and will make the baby
sick.
Cleaning the Bottles
The bottles should be cleaned i'm
mediately after feeding by first rims
ing with clear water, then rinsing sew
eral times in clean boiling water.
Boil the bottles at least twice a
week in soda water; then rinse in clean
boiling water.
Dirty bottles make sick babies.
Use nipples that can be turned in
side out for the purpose of cleans
ing.
After each feeding cleanse the nip
pies inside and out with salt and
water; rinse them with clean boiling
water. Boil the nipples at least
once a day; dry and keep in a clean,
covered glass jar.
Warm the milk to about body heat
before giving it to the child, by plac-
ing the bottle in a dish of hot water
Shake the bottle before using.
Never put the nipple in your own
mouth to find out whether the milk is
warm enough.
Test it on your wrist.
The hole in the nipple should be
large enough so hat the milk will
drop easily when it is turned upside
down, but not so large that it will
flow fast.
Hold the baby on the arm in the
same position as for breast feed
ing.
The bottle should be held by the
nurse or mother throughout the feed
ing.
Hold it so the neck of the bottle is
continually filled. The feeding should
be finished in 20 minutes.
If the baby eats greedily, withdraw
the nipple for a moment several times
during the feeding.
IF he is sleenv. keen him awake

Reserve Applicants Will Be Informed

The men chosen by the War Depart

The government bulletin says the
