"Purple and Fine Linen"

Not without reason are the words IN
the scrtptural mention of purple and
fine linen always coupled together.
They stood for the highest regal splen-
dor among the ancient orientals. In
the middle ages linen underwear was
thought to be too magnificent for any
one except a king. .
Linen is probably the textile that
has been longest in use. 1t is the flrst
fabric mentioned in history. Egypt ana
China used it thousands of years ago
1t dates back before the pharaohs
and the pyramids. back almost to the
dawn of civilization.
Linen has always been the most
cherished of fabrics, and no wonder,
for behind 1t is a history of absorb
ing interest and wealth of tradition
that cling to no other fabric. Used
as the robes of royalty and for the
sacred purposes of the priests, linen
has always been looked upon as
cloth to be devoted to the highest
Then, linen is the strongest of tex
tiles. 1t has always been noted for
its remarkable durability. Linen was
the cloth chosen for mummy wrap
pings, and many are to be found
today, as strong and as perfect as
when they were woven centuries ago.

BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Bob White had gone on about his
business. Nanny Meadow Mouse had
gone back to their home under the
Old stump. But Danny Meadow
Mouse hadn't been ready to go home.
He had wanted to explore a little

him from it.

might be pulled out more easily. The
ground between the stumps had been
plowed and planted.
Danny liked those stumps. There
were holes under some of them to
dart into in case of danger. AS he
explored that garden he ran from
stump to stump. This is what he was
doing when he met Gray Fox. 1t was
a very unexpected meeting. 1t was as
unexpected TO Gray Fox as it was to
Danny Meadow Mouse. Had il not
been SO unexpected to Gray Fox, it
very likely would have been Danny's
first and last meeting with him.
Danny was not quite halfway from
one stump TO another when, without
any warning, Gray Fox stepped from
behind the stump toward which Dan
ny was running. Danny saw him be-

II was. although it was the first time
he had ever seen him. No one could
mistake a Fox for any one else. He
looked like Reddy Fox. excepting that
his coat was mostly gray. There

can, even If you know little or moth

Voters of both parties will be in

This Amendment simply provides

budget of the States Attorney will
have to be submitted to and ap-
proved by the Supreme Bench of

Heretofore the salaries and ex,

THIS YEAR A TOUGH ONE,
CAETOONIST DECLARES

The campaign of 1924 is a hard
one on -cartoonists, according to
Charles Sughroe, the creator of
Mickie the Printers Devil, the pop
ular comic strip now appearing on
the bunny Page of The Midland
Journal.
Gone are the days of Roosevelt,
Taft and Wilson, whose physical
makeups lent themselves admirably
to the purposes of the cartoonist,
Sughroe says. g This year finds the
cartoonist up against a real problem.
Coolidge and Davis offer no posi-
bilities at all, and while LaFollette
with his prominent shock OF white
hair makes an easier subject, yet all
three are about in the same class,
he continued.
"Charles Bryan, with his skull
cap, eyeglasses and long mustac-
hics, makes a much better subject
than either Dawes or Wheeler, al
though Dawes pipe helps out
lot"
Uucle Sam is the easiest of all
characters to draw, according to
S1lghroe, whose drawings have be-
come famous from coast to coast.
In addition to Mickie, which is the
most widely used of all comic strips,
Sughroe is the originator also of
People of Our Town." "Bill
Booster" and 9TH Ole CROUCH"
Sughroe was raised in the news
paper business on the Stockton,
tIH.) Herald, owned by his father.
At an early age he showed fond
ness for drawing, and upon leaving
grammar school. entered the Chicago
Art Institute, where he specialized
in drawing, painting, illustration
and cartooning.
After graduation he attracted at
tention with his drawings which re-
vealed typical glimpses of life in the
smaller community. These scored
immediate success and he decided to
confine his efforts TO this type of
work. Despite attractive offers to
move to large cities, he remains in
his home town, which, he says, pro-
vides him with an adequate back
round and is responsible for his
success.

CLEAN, COOL AND COVERED

Some of the most significant
features of the milk regulations that
have been established by the Bureau
of Food and Drugs Of the State De-
partment of Health and the State
Board of Agriculture, are of special
interest to housekeepers. In gen.
raj they may be summed up under
the three C-s clean, cool and
covered" For instance:
The use of capped bottles is re-
quired for all milk or cream sold
at retail in all towns or cities in the
State.
Milk or cream sold at wholesale
must be delivered in the original
package, and no milk or cream may
be poured from one container to an
other on a public highway or in a
public place.
Milk containers must be properly
covered or otherwise protected from
dirt during transit and the milk be
kept cooled to as near SO degrees as
practicable.
Conveyances used. in the delivery
of milk must be kept clean and the
milk must not be exposed unneces-
sarily to the sun.
The members of the two State
Boards who have formulated the
regulations, and the dairymen and
distributors who have attended the
many conferences that have been
held, have worked on the principle
that
Things must be what they seems;
Skim milk shall not masquerade
as cream.
Dealers who have made a prac-
tice of buying up junk caps, con
tanning the names of well known
diaries, and marked and dated in
various ways, and of refusing them
to mislead their customers, will have
no chance to continue the practice.
Neither will they be able to sell
or deliver for consumption as milk
or cream, milk or cream to which
water or any foreign sustance has
Deen added.
Milk which contains less than 3.5
per cent of milk fat, or cream con-
tanning less than IS per cent milk
fat; milk or cream that has been
exposed to any disease producing
bacteria; milk or cram that has been
manipulated or adulterated by the
removal of milk fat, or addition Of.
preservatives; or that has been
made from butter fat or other
fat and SKINNED milk, powdered
milk, or other ingredients.
Regulations of interest to dairy
men cover in detail the conditions
under which the milk is produced
care of the buildings and premises
where milk and milk products are
produced, handled or sold; health
and care of the cows; cleanliness
and kind of utensils; cleanliness in
milking; care in cooling and condi-
lions in transit. The regulations
will become effective within thirty
days after publication.

that the result will be decisive.
