BEEF TEA.

EXTRACT of beef is not food at
all but a stimulant, and should be
classed with tea and coffee. A
person depending upon it alone
for food would die of starvation.
Twentieth century food experts tell
us that the only perfect form of
beef tea is made as follows:
Slice juicy lean beef from the
round an inch thick, broil it quick
ly oven hot fire, but without
burning, until it is brown on both
sides. Cut the hot meat in small
pieces and squeeze with lemon
squeezer The juice should be
caught in ia hot cup, or lay the
hot broiled meat on hot soup
plate. cut and slash it and set "a
mother hot plate on squeezing
them together The Youngest in
fantA or adults may take it.

THE SKY CHICKEN.

THE SKY CHICKEN.
One day Lester Wood and his
sister Rose, went out to feed Mrs.
G'luff and her family of ten little
chickens
Mrs. Fluff was busting herself in
the middle Of the road,-a thing
Rose had often warned her 1t was
very unsafe to do, on account of
the automobiles.
When she saw the children COM
ing she clucked loudly to the
ten white chickens, and all of them
came running.
Suddenly Mrs. Fluff stopped and
acted very queerly. She fluttered
round with her wings outstretched.
making queer noise and looking
up in the sky. Lester and Rose did
not know what she meant but
the little white chickens seemed
to understand. They darted to their
mothers side and hid under her
wings for they knew it meant
danger.
It's hawk, Rose, Look; look;'
shouted Lester, pointing upward.
Rosee looked and just above them
was a large bird with hooked
beak. Go away she screamed,
you shall not have our chickens
Lester shouted too, and waved
his hat, and the hawk, which had
swooped very close to the ground,
suddenly mounted upward again.
AS the bird rose something fell
to the ground close beside the chill
dren but in their excitement they
did not notice. what it was.
I, Before the hawk was out of
sight Mrs. Fluff was clucking to
her family, and they were all Gag
erly waiting for the dinner which
the children had brought.
Why said Lester, 81 thought
that all of Mrs. Fluffs chickens
were white.
They are said Rose, and then
she exclaimed. But there is yell
low one"
And there are eleven instead OF
ten" said Lester. Where in the
world did that yellow one come
from.
The children looked hard to make
Hynr i,,i
them. Where could the yellow
chicken have come from? There
were no other little chickens on the
place, and the nearest neighbor
lived quarter of mile away.
The hawk must have brought
it," said Rose. Don't you remem-
Der that we saw something fall?"
OF course Lester remembered
then, but it was not easy to be
lieve that little chicken could go
through the experience of being
carried through the air for per-
haps miles and miles and come to
earth again without being hurt.
bul tueIe lie was, perfectly
sound and Well; little yellow
chicken who seemed as ready for
the supper they had brought as
were the ten little white ones
When the children's father came
home and they had told him of
the little stray chicken, he said:
mo doubt Rose is right. The
hawk was not satisfied with one
chicken and came down to get "a
mother. You frightened it SO that
it dropped the one it already had
1t was too greedy, you see."
And that is the way the little
yellow chicken Joined Mrs. Fluff
family. 1t was not hurt at all
although it must have came many
miles, for although the children in
CURED cf all the neighbors, none
had chickens like it.
Mrs. Fluff always treated it as
one OF her own children. PERHAPS
she did not know the difference.
The little "Sky Chicken" grew
to be handsome rooster and Rose
says he puts on airs because he
knows he has flown higher than
any of the other chickens.

MILK, the MOST
PERFECT FOOD
MAY BECOME MOST DANGEROUS

MAY BECOME MOST DANGEROUS
Milk il the only animal food con-
sumed In the raw state, the cheapest
food containing all the required foed /
constituents and, according to our
State Dairy and Fsod Cemnissisner. !,
Hon. w. B. Barney. is responsible fer
more sickness than all other feeds +
combined. Milk enters into the diet
OF all persons ct all ages. 1t IL the Z
perfect food for the young and FERNS +
more than one-sixth part Of the total
foods of the average family. A quart
OF milk is cheaper but equal In food I
value to-
Eight large eggs;
Two pounds potatoes;
-Four pounds beets;
Two pounds chicken;
Two pounds salt goldfish;
Three-fourths pound lean round beef. (,
Milk is the one natural animal food
which is intended for immediate con-
sumption, but after being produced
must be handled carefully not to be-
come contaminated because it absorbs
very readily from the air or materials
with which it comes in contact.
There are three sources from which
milk may become unfit for use: ~
the COW; (2) the care given the milk;
(3) the utensils used
Since milk is made from the blood,
it is evident that the relation is very
close between the condition of the
COW and tie milk and it is necessary
to be CAREFUL about anything which
may be transmitted to or absorbed by
the milk. One of the animal diseases
which is most subtle and dangerous
to man is tuberculosis. The germs
are carried directly from the tuber-
culous cows udder into the milk, and
produce in the animal or person who
drinks it some form of the same dis
ease.
There are many instances of this
form Of infection. Yesterday I
learned of the death of an Iowa boy
from tuberculosis About the same
time that he became ill, three Of his
neighbors became i'll also. In their
effort to discover the source Of infec-
ton, they found all four of them had
been drinking the milk of one COW
which proved to be tuberculous. The
one COW caused at least four unneces-
sary deaths. If the owner had tested
his cattle for tuberculosis he would
have known and avoided the danger.
The tuberculin test is simple and GER
tain to indicate whether or not the
animal is infected, and is our only
safeguard against tuberculosis infec-
ton from this source.
