If milk is allowed to stand in an open pitcher it very quickly absorbs the taste of any food near it. Either pour any milk or cream back into the bottle and replace the cover, or put a cover of some sort over the bowl before putting in the refrigerator. Milk and butter both require the most careful handling to keep them sweet and untainted.

JOHN-A-DREAMS
xxx. THE STRANGE LANGUAGE or
 DREAM FLOWERS.

l have related to you some Of the meanings of dreams of flowers. There are many more and I could write on and on and not come to the end of the tale for hours. So I must rely upon you to ask mo the meaning of your dreams and if you relate them carefully l shall interpret them. But this I will do today; I shall give you the Language of Dream Flowers. This however. you must bear in mind: It applies only when there is no distinct action on the part of yourself or some ono else connected with the vision. To make myself clear: Let us say you have dreamed of flowers and can re- member only that they were roses, or carnations or iris, as the case may be. Or. you remember the dream well but realize that it was too indistinct and jumbled to be of importance and all that stands out from it's confusion is the picture of n flower Then these meanings apply:
 ROSES-True love, no matter what their color. If their scent reaches you, you will be wed within the year.
 CARNATIONSACar and worriment If an odd color, not found in nature such as blue or green. dangerous adventure.
 IlIUEBELLS-A CnrlStenlng.
 DANDELIONS-An uncommon. try ing experience.
 IRIS--Victory.
 NARCISSUS and TULIPS-False friends.
 SWEET WILLIAM-A holiday.
 ORANGE BLOSSOMS-Your own wedding.
 MYRTLE-The wedding of a near friend or relative.
 DOGWOOD-Illness
 PANSIES-Sweet hours of ease
 GRASSES-Death or serious illness
 PALMS-Solemn festivities.
 Azaleas-Many gifts.
 FRUIT BLOSSOMS Unexpected news.
 WHITE LIL1ES-A long journey.
 TIGER LILIES-Sinful thoughts.
 MARIGOLD-Mone troubles.
 DA1SIES-Strife and trouble
 MOOEFI OWERS-A cup of joy.
 WISTERIA-Tears.
 LAUREL BLOSSOMS-High honors
 ITLOX-Much useless labor
 HYACINTHS-Sudde wealth
 PIONEERING SHRUBS - Dsap- pointment.
 ORCHIDS-A filtration.
 FIVE OCLOCKS-Laught
 VIOLETS--A sweet meeting after long separation.
 CROCUS-A wearisome task.
 MORNING GLORIES-Merry days
 LILY-OF-IHE-VAL kiss in the dark.
 DALLAS Unwelcome visitors.
 ASTERS-Fsad news about old folks. LIEACS-A jewellcd ring.
 GeraniuIns-Lying rumors.
 SWEET EEAS-A proposal.
 JASMINE-A guilty secret
 MIGNONETTE-A new friendship. ANSWER to Mrs. B. C.I regret that you have asked me not to publish your interesting dream about the cesed flowers which in your vision, fell into your lap as you opened a book. 4, would nave been interesting to many of my readers. But this is tho mean ing: There is something on your con- science that is seeking the light and you lack the courage to give it utter ance. The book you held is the book of your life. The blurred pages are the things you conceal. The withered flowers are the sad consequences of your lack of candor and your happi- ness will dry as did the flowers unless you unburden your mind. The dead in sect on the dead blossom is the pain in your heart.

This man is c. f. Colcold. an ILL

Mr.. Colcoid attends the sales at the
stock yards, keeping on the lookout
for old steers which would not be
very good as beef cattle but which
are usable as work cattle. These he
buys and sends back TO Connecticut
where they are auctioned off to far

hilly country he states that they are

Creamery for Lone Grove
One of the questions which we

Of this article to give the arguments

BUILDS NEW HOME AROUND OLD STRUCTURE
OCCUPYING LATTER DURING THE PROCESS

and reconverted into the wall Of the
new house. Meanwhile part Of the
new house on the right side was
roughly completed and allowed of
temporary living room being formed.
into this the Banks family moved
while more OF the old rooms We're
torn away.
Today the entire inside is roughly
completed. The rooms of the old home
have passed into the regions Of mem
ory. The house will be fully complet-
ed in another week or two.
The only inconvenience suffered by
the Banks family was having to walk
on bare wood floors and dispense with
the artistic arrangement Of their
household goods while the .ransform-
alton Of the home was taking place.
But this was looked upon in the light
of sport by Mr.. and Mrs. Banks and
their son.
The new house is a seven room bun
galow with a quarter pitch gable roof
having a rear and front porch. The
old home was three room bunga-
/ low. The old home was 1Sx36 feet; the
new home is 2Sx52 feet.
A great deal of the old material was
reused in the construction Of the new
home, MIR. Banks said. In this manner
the cost Of the operation was limited
to about $4,000.
Commenting on the feat, Mr.. Banks
who is superintendent of storage for
| the Consumers Light and Power
/ Company declared that a man does
not realize what he can accomplish
until he is inspired by a home or by
the love of his wife or children. The
home being a possession that is
closest to a mans heart, he ex
planned. one can think Of a thousand
ideas in building the same if he ac
tually is determined to do so.

Mr. Banks undertook to accomplish
this very thing several weeks ago,
and today he has his new home al
most completed He and his family
not only have continued to live on
the premises but kept their house
hold goods there as well.
The frame of the new house was
constructed first. The width and
length of the new structure being
larger than the old one, this formed
no difficulty But the roof of the
new house was planned to be lower
than that of the old. So when the
outside walls We're up and the car
penters ready for the roof they cut
away the old shelter in sections TO
allow Of the new one taking form.
Mr.. Banks had to compute with the
elements in this respect But he was
fortunate enough to have a strecth
of dry weather during the few days
of the roof construction.
The work is being done entirely by
crew of carpenters, but the plans
for the work were mapped out by Mr.
Banks himself who outlined the
same to builders. Not one hitch was
found in the execution Of the plans
Mr.. Banks declared that during the
four years preceding the work, when
he had ever looked forward to the
new home he had gone over time anC

ment.
