WHY !? ~
Why Does Milk Turn Sour
Copyright 1920. bJ
Wheeler Syndicate. loo.

Although we are accustomed To think
Of milk turning sour with few days,
no matter what the temperature, there
b one sure method Of preventing this
change-or, ct least, OF pOstpOnlng 1t
indefinitely. II the milk IS thoroughly
boiled and then sealed so thst air cannot
get 10 1t. the liquid will remain fresh Ii
spv climate for months and even years,
tust as canned vegetables and meats
vii retain their appetizing qualities
under similar conditions THIS, OF course,
points 70 the fact that there must be
something in the aIr itself which leads 10
the souring Of milk and gives us the clue
% the reason for this chemical change
Every drop Of milk ontains large
uunber Of bacilli, which, working on the
sugar n the milk, produce the lactlc
scid which turns il sour. Boiling kills
these tiny organisms and puts an end TO
the production Of the acid. In order TO
keep the milk fresh after boiling however
il is necessary to protect it from the air
which contains similar bacilh and ex-
pOsure of less than a minute vii result
In the introduction of number OF these
microbes into the milk As they multiply
with amazing rapiditv, even boiled milk
E1ll sour within a short time, unless the
AIT Is rigidly excluded. As warm teInpera-
tures aid 10 the growth Of the bacilli
which produce Tactic acid, keeping the
milk In 8 refrigerator or other cool place
WIll postpone the souring process, but,
unless the LIQUID IS frozen, even thl WI
not prevent It for more than few days

Mr. Dog who lives at one Of the farms
and who was very much dreaded by the
animals because he wac q swift runner.
Mr.. Fox looked NJ himself IN hlt
af broken lookinGglass which he had
on The wall and he WAS 50 much like
Mr.. Dog that ne turned % nm before
he remembered that Il was himself nc
WAS looking ut and not really Mr.. Dog
Even his bushy tail was creased until
il looked verv thin and not n bit like hiS
own beautiful one. of which he Was So
proud.
Az soon as IL was daylight he went
out of his house and through tho woods
barking a. nearly like Mr.. Dog as he
could
Out of the windows came tho heads
of the frightened animals ard all in their
nightcaps. but they lodged back rs
quick rs q wink when they saw what they
supposed WAS Mr.. Dog running through
the woods.
out of their homes they quickly ran,
never stopping 10 take of their night
caps. 81 ANXIOUS were they 70 get away
before Mr. Dog came back, for he WAS
sure 70 he hunting for some Of them and
no one knew which one IT was,
Mr. Fox knew just what would hap
pon. so he ran and barked until he was
quite sure he had gwen them time u
CT away, and then back he came and
into every pantry he went and carried
of what he wanted
And such q feast as he had all day
end the next day rs we'll. for he had
big bag hidden At the end OF the wood
path. and this he filed with food taken
from his neighbors
This had been done with so little
trouble that when il was gouc Mr.. Fox
played the same trick again and again
u.til the wood folk decided they would
try to stop Mr.. Dog from carrying OF
their food, even though they were glad
he did not seem 20 want them.
We will call a meeting. said Mr.
Coon, and see i something cannot

 MT. Miller began active life as 2. land was later with the Chicago News when it had reached it's height under Melville E. Stone and Victor Lawson. Later he was the New York repre- sentative of that paper.
 He became the representative of g group of American and English news papers and spent some years in the Orient and in Australia and New Zea- land at the time social legislation was getting under way in the latter coun try. He contributed a series of arti- cles on that subject.
 He was a war correspondent in 1900 and secured the famous interview with Ii Hung Chang. He was present as ia correspondent al the funeral Of Queen Victoria and the wedding of Queen Wilhelmina. His work as a newspaper correspondent included sev eraly famous interviews among them that with Admiral Dewey on the Ger many navy.

CLOTHES DON'T MAKE THE TIP

ILO 1ES JUN MAhE nG UT
 You can't judge the size of tip by the clothes a man wears"
 This is the philosophy of Chester Wheeler, Detroit bellhop.
 Here are few of the pointers he has picked up while answering calls:
 The person giving the largest tip is usually the least pretentious. Instead of placing a coin in his hand many people will flip it to him just to see him catch it in midair. This is generally true of the travelling man.
 Women are always condescending in giving money; men present tips as a matter of course and with less show.
 The average tip is between 10 and % cents. Fifty-cent tips are uncommon and dollars exceptional A large tip is usually the result of theclosing of a successful business deal. Tipping is not an evil, but a reward for efficient service, he declares. No bell hop expects a large sum, but if he performs his duties well he expects a remembrance"
