The Reason Why.

This difference In the complexion Of
people is due to the varying amount Of
pigment or coloring material In the
cells Of which the skins Of all animals
are made. Very light people have very
little pigment; very dark people, those
with dark eyes and black hair, have
great deal of this coloring material
In their cells.
A great many people are neither
Hight nor very dark. They have less
than the dark complexioned people
and more than the light complexloned
people. When the hair turns gray
1t is because the pigment has disap-
peare6. AS this is due to the loss of
this coloring material, dark complex
Toned people turn gray sooner than
light 'complexloned people. The struc-
ture OF the skin showing how these
cells are made In layers can be seen
by examining the skin with a micro
scope,

Little things often lead to serious
consequences. So 1t is not surprising
to learn that recently an employee of
a large manufacturing establishment
was coming down the stairway from
the third floor Of the warehouse, when
the laciag In one Of his shoes became

stairs, and when about five steps from
the landing he stepped on the flowing

For home use butter is frequently
packed in glazed earthenware crooks,
which are very satisfactory and con-
venient receptacles for butter on the
farm. If the glazing is imperfect, how
ever, the crock absorbs butter and
soon becomes insanitary.
For market the rectangular one
pound print is the most desirable form.

ance than the crock or country roll"

and can be inserted into carton
which not only protects the butter but
alsr adds greatly to the appearance of

printer is pressed upon the butter on
the table until 1t Is completely filled,
the surplus is then scraped off with
the paddle and the print pressed out
on parchment wrapping paper.

PLAN TO MAKE GOOD BUTTER
Quality Is Improved II Standard Meth

by Farmer.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture)
The butter made on the farms of
the United States may be materially
improved in quality In most cases, If
standard methods are employed and
greater care is exercised In carrying
out the necessary details. The depart
ment gives the following outline of
the essential steps to be taken in maxi
ing good farm butter:
l. Produce clean milk and cream.
Cool the cream Immediately after 1t
comes from the separator. Clean and
sterilize all utensils.
2. Ripen or sour the cream at from
65 degrees to rs degrees r. until mildly
sour. Always use a thermometer In
order to know that the right tempera-
ture is reached.
3. Cool the cream to churning tenn.
perature or below and hold at that
temperature for at least two hours be"
fore churning.
4. Use churning temperature-usu-
ally between 81 degrees and SO de-
grees F.--that will require 80 or 40
minutes to obtain butter.
5. Clean and scald the churn, then
half fill it with cold water and revolve
until churn is thoroughly cooled, after
which empty the water.
6. Pour the cream into the churn
through a strainer.
z. Add butter color-from 20 to 35
drops to a gallon Of cream--except
late in the spring and early in the
summer.
s. Put the cover on tight; revolve
the churn several times; stop with
bottom up and remove stopper to per-
NIT escape of gas; repeat until no
more gas forms.
g. Continue churning until butter
granules are formed the size of grains
of wheat.
10. Draw off the buttermilk through
the hole at the bottom of the churn,
using strainer to catch particles of
butter. When the buttermilk has
drained out, replace the cork.
IL. Prepare twice as much wash wa
ter as there is buttermilk, and at about
the same temperature. Use the Their
mometer; do not guess at tempera-
lures. Put one-half the water into
the churn with the butter.
II. Replace the cover and revolve
the churn rapidly few times, then
draw Off the water. Repeat the wash
ing with the remainder of the water.
10. The butter should still be 10
granular form when the washing is
completed.
IA. Weigh the butter.
Is. Place the butter on the worker
and add salt at the rate of three
quarters of an ounce to a pound of
butter.
16. Work the butter until the salt
is dissolved and evenly distributed. Do
not overwork.
IT. Pack in any convenient form for
home use or make into one-pound

NOW OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE
Port Whence Slnbad Sailed on Voyage

Has Decayed.

In spite of the evidences of modern
Industry, Basra was the port from
which Sinbad set out on his voyages
of trade and adventure. Sinbad was
not myth, but real man with a
sailors love for the sights of foreign
lands, Louis A. Springer writes in
Asia. II must have been great event
when he sailed away with his fleet of
dhows and when he returned with
treasures Of far-off China and the
Eastern islands. The Basra of today
Is mean little town in clearing of
palm trees two miles from the river,
and at its port, instead Of the ladened
dhows are rusty tramp steamers with
tawdry wares Of the West. Farther
up the valley, at Kurnn, where the
Euphrates and Tigris join, is the ira
dltional site Of the Garden of Eden;
beyond are the ruins of Babylon and
on the bank Of the Tigris Is the ro-
mantle city of Bagdad where Harun-
al-Rashid, the great caliph, attracted
the wits and the wealth of Islam and
ruled In lavish splendor. Down the
Arabian coast are great ruins, still
almost unexplored. Lovat Fraser, a
close student of this region, believes
that some day 1t will be demonstrated

had. An intense bombardment of the
enemy's lines had commenced. The
roar of the guns was deafening.
Lloyd's fears came back with a rush,
and he covered ON the earthen floor
with his hands over his face.
The sentry, seeing his position, came
in and tried to cheer him by talking to
him:
"Never mind them guns, boy, they
won't hurt you. They are ours. We
are giving the Boches dose of their
own medicine. Our boys are going over
the top at dawn of the morning to take
their trenches. Wen give 'em taste
of cold steel with their sausages and
beer. You just sit tight now until they
relieve you. I'll have to go now, lad,
as it's nearly time for nay relief and /
don't want them to see me a-talkin'
with you. So long, laddie, cheero."
With this, the sentry resumed the
pacing of his post. In about ten min
utes' time he was relieved, and d
company man took his place.
Looking into the guardhouse, the
sentry noticed the covering attitude Of
Lloyd, and, with sneer, said to him:
Instead Of whimpering In that cor
ner, you ought to be saying your pray
ers. It's bally conscripts like you
what's spoilln' our record. We've been
ont here nigh onto eighteen months
and you're the first man to desert his
post. The whole battalion is laughin'
and pokin fun at D company, bad
luck to you but you won't get another
chance to disgrace as. They'll put
your lights out in the mornin'."

Brady never tsquealed" when hurt;
an obstacle was never unsurmount-

lexicon. He always came up smiling
and with new energy. A rebuff was
to him but new incentive for more

cause he used prodigally the strength
which was his and upon which he
drew inordinately. In his many bus
mess and political campaigns he never
slept. He left nothing to chance. He
believed in organization. Those who
were his colleagues In politics or In
business became imbued with the
restless energy of his leadership. He
wanted nobody around who loafed on

others to follow his example, though
they might never keep pace with him
