Some Important Facts About
 Mi 1 k
By DR. CHARLOTTE 0. WEST

LIVERY housekeeper knows that milk HI attracts and absorbs odors; every
 one does not know, however, that it is an ideal medium for the develop ment and growth of bacteria. Because of it's huge consumption and its super lative importance as food for in fants and children, great efforts have been and are constantly being made by the health authorities to insure for the public as pure product as possible.
 Most of the bottled milk sold in large cities is pastuerized. The dealer cools the milk and delivers it within a certain time. Carelessness in the house hold often defeats the object of the authorities to insure you a pure milk supply. For instance, if you allow the bottle to remain on the stoop, window sill or elsewhere, or to stand in warm room, the heat of sun and room start the growth and rapid multiplication of germs. Tuberculosis, scarlet fever, diptheria, typhoid fever, septic sore throat, infantile diarrhea, are among the diseases caused by contaminated milk. Therefore the cap of the bottle should always be put back on after re- moving part of the milk. Never allow the milk to remain uncovered. Do not pour back into the bottle any milk that has been removed for use, as it will contaminate the remainder. Scrupulous cleanliness of all household utensils, the milk bottle, the refrigerator, and your self will alone secure you clean, pure milk.
 Pastuerized milk is that which is sub jected to a certain heat in order to de- stroy bacteria. Evaporated or con- densed milk is that in which the wa tery part is largely removed. Before the enforcement of the pure food laws many of these were merely concen- trated skinned milk. Now the label on the can describes the contents. Various chemicals are. used to pre- vent milk from turning. When milk is meant for human consumption it is H. legal to use the adulterants. Milk will turn or sour through fermentation or lputrefaction caused by the presence of bacteria. The bacteria which cause clean milk to sour are beneficial to the digestive organs, hence clean sour milk is a valuable food.
 Two and half quarts of skim milk gives the same amount of energy as a pound of beef. But it must be clean to be safe.
 Buttermilk has the same food value as skim milk with the advantage of milk acids and is an exceedingly wholesome drink and food, especially in warm weather.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-05-20

Answer:
 If you like to sew, why do you not take a course in millinery or dressmaking? We do best the things for which we have a nat ural aptitude and that we enjoy doing. In selecting our lifework we should always pick out trade or profession that we find pleasure in doing for, it's own sake.
 Of course, sewing in it's lower grades is a very ill-paid profession, but for those who raise it to the level of fine art it is one of the most lucrative oc- equations, and whether you get $15 or $150 for making a gown depends alto gether upon the skill you put into the job. If you have the hand and eye of an artist; if you master the subtleties of line and color, you can ask what you will for a gown or a hat, and wo- men will break their necks to pay it.
 But it doesn't make any differ ence what you do, or what you choose for profession. It is the way you do it that counts.

k. We Women
Ten Centsi

Ten Centsi There is woman In PfttsbuTg who returned a dime she had found. There [ is nothing particularly remarkable about woman returning a dime, but in this case it was remarkable. The woman kept that ten cents for fifteen years be- fore returning it &
 Why did she wait fifteen years, one wonders. She writes naively ~ This may seem strange to you, but ten cents that does not belong to me will keep me out of heaven. So that is why l am writing this letter and sending you this money. I want clean page when I come up before the great Judge"
 No doubt if that ten-cent piece had been a diamond she would have re turned it the next day. l am sure she would. Her letter Ahows a strain of simple honesty.
 Like most of us, she probably be- lieves that theft is only theft when large amount is involved. Perhaps she used that ten cents long ago to buy ride homewards and save her tired feet. Perhaps she used it to buy an orange for a sick child, or to buy ten cents worth of happiness, somehow, somewhere in this queer world
 But it haunted me. Never once did she forget it. Perhaps pride, the shame of admitting her petty theft--for theft it was, since she knew the owner kept her from returning it. ' I can see her haunted in some way by that poor little thin piece of silver. Little as it was it loomed large in her imagination.
 It was her ono fall from grace. And | it grew like a monstrous secret thing, that pathetic little dime visiting her dreams.

As long as you owe another man dollar the money is his, and you have no right to use it for your own pleas ure. Moreover, sooner or later, the rainy day comes to every one, and the man who has made no provision for it becomes a burden upon the thrifty. Often little children and old people are deprived of the very necessities of life because some extravagant man or wo- man, who has wasted his or her sub stance in riotous living, has to be ta- ken care of.

Pied Piper Takes' Children On Tour
 Of Sweden

Fifty Swedish children born in America, their ages ranging from seven to sixteen, will shortly follow living Pied Piper on long journey, but with this to distinguish them from their predecessors of Hamelin Town-that ] they go with the unqualified approval of their parents. To be exact, they are following two pipers, for pr. Johannes Flowing of New York, who is arranging for a Swedish concert tour of the Children's clubs, No. and 2, of the Order of Vasa of America, is col laborating with Mrs. Flowing. musical director and founder of the society:
 The object of the tour, as outlined by Dr. Flowing, is to solidfy relations between the two countries.
 we aim to be neither solely Swed- ish nor purely American" he explains; "but we are determined to remain ex- clusively Swedish and American. The children are all of Swedish percentage and have been taught the Swedish language and Swedish music in an eff fort to preserve their familiarity with Swedish art and traditions, but their training also includes study of repre-. sentative American art and customs"
 Will Dance Virginia Reel
 Following this plan, children of the Order of Vasa will sing Swedish songs and recite sagas at concerts that will have such historical American dances as the Virginia Reel and American songs sung to English words as fea- lures. All their programs are to be given in Swedish national costume, but the children will travel in khaki suits and dresses similar to the uniforms worn by Boy Scouts and kindred or ganizations. Thirty-five concerts are provided for by arrangements with the National Association for the Preserv- ation of Swedish Traditions.
 'The president of this society" Dr. Flowing says, lis appointed by. the king, and that we will be received by His Majesty seems tolerably certain. We sail on July 5, returning on the same ship, the Stockholm, on September 15. I should tell you, too, that we have a number of talented soloists in our ranks, one of them boy violinist whose playing is remarkable"
 Club No. I of the order is made up of children living in Manhattan; mem bers of Club No. 2 are residents of Brooklyn. The order was founded in 1921 by Mrs. Flowing and has grown to a membership of 10000, branches continually springing up in all parts of the United States and Canada.
 Not only the children, but their par ents as well, hear and heed the piping. Musical America.

Answer:
 There isn't very much that you can do with a waster, my dear. There is something wrong with a mans brain when he can't see the true relation of money to life, and realize that the spendthrift is just as much a thief as the pickpocket. For the man who buys things from a shop, and fails to pay for them, has robbed the merchant just as much as if he had pilfered the goods from the shelves.

money Ike prince anu put OlL paying the washerwoman.
 The position of the wife of the spender is a difficult one because she is always the one who has to stand off the bill collector. She has the humilia- tion of asking for credit. She has the fear of the future always before her, and she can rarely make her husband listen to reason. He ridicules her eff forts to save as miserliness. He calls her tightwad when she wants to live within their income. He resents her warnings as preaching and if she will not let him spend money on her he spends it on the women who will praise him for his generosity, instead of lectur- ing him for his extravaganza.
 About the only thing the wife of a spender can do is to try to in- fluence her husband to spend on something of real value, because money will always burn in his pocket. He can't keep it, but some times he can be induced to put it in something that will be a good investment later on.

that way.
 LONESOME HUSBAND. Answer:
 Perhaps you are right. Certain ly middled-aged people who do not go around very much, and have few acquaintances, have small chance to meet the kind of men and women that would make them good husbands and wives.
 Married people who do not go much in society are apt to narrow their cir cle down to a very few intimate friends, and so when either a husband or wife dies, the widow or the wid- over finds that he or she knows vir- tually no one but married couples, and that their chances of remarrying are very sne since they have no way of se Ahs g out of their little group.
 Undoubtedly an attractively worded advertisement would bring to any man or woman many seek CTS after soft matrimonial jobs, but the scheme is fraught with dan ger. The chances are that most of the applicants would be frauds men and women who were lazy, and who prefer to marry for a liv- ing rather than work for one men and women who are so unde- sirable that no one wanted them where they were known.
 Besides, the applicant who might fill the bill and come up to all outward requirements might yet lack every in. ward quality that would make him or her a good husband or wife. A man might be honest, industrious and sober and yet be cruel and brutal in his na. ture. A woman might be virtuous and thrifty and a good housekeeper, yet have the temper of virago. Every character reference that a man ant woman might give might be o. K., ant yet their dispositions be so mean anC cantankefOus that they would make miserable whoever had to live with them.
 It is never safe to marry any one who is a stranger to you. You have to knew an individual long and well before you can form any idea as to whether he or she would PAOfO 0 6OOA yOAOAhoSNs AAAA SfSA then you often guess wrong. So the idea of getting husband or wife by advertising for one is a risky experiment that I do not advise you to try.
 DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Dorothy Dix: I am married to man whom I love very dearly and who is everything that is good and kind to me, but he has no money sense. He is clever and popular and makes a fine income, which he throws away in fool ish extravaganza. We are always in debt and never have anything worth while. My husband will blow in money on utter foolishness when we are being bounded to pay our bills. I was raised to be careful of money, and to pay as I went, and it mortifies me to death to owe shopkeepers. What can I do about it? How can make my hus- band see as I do that we are not only living foolishly, but dishonesty?
