INK has an uncomfortable way
i Of upsetting, spilling, or drop
ping in the most undesirable
places at the most inauspicious
times. The removal Of ink stains
becomes complex problems be-
cause there are many kinds of
ink on the market and these vary
in chemical composition so that
the ,reagent that may be effect
lively used with one is useless
with others. In fact, it may be
necessary to use several agents,
but the simplest of all, water,
should be the one with which to
start.

stained must be considered IN

ICED DRINKS IN THE SUMMER

On a warm and sultry summer day,
there Is nothing more refreshing to the
mind and to the body than an iced
drink. OF course, when such drinks
are being used, moderation should be
practiced, because If taken In excess
or too rapidly, they are liable to be
injurious TO the stomach. However,
when taken in a sensible manner, they
are refreshing and beneficial to the
fatigued. In the manufacture of these
drinks, care should be taken to avoid
any combination that may be indiges-
tible or hard to asslmilate. The drink
should be consumed In a slow and lei
surely manner
The greatest danger present in the
use Of iced drinks is the one that In
wolves the use Of ingredients that are
possibly impure or contaminated in any
way. This is very liable to happen
II the juices that are used are allowed
to stand until they become soured and
unfit for use, or II the milk or other
ingredient used Is not strictly fresh.
The predisposition Of milk to spoil
quickly at summer temperatures makes
it ofttimes necessary to use evaporated
milk, which after all is just pure fresh
milk with more than half the water
taken away. 1t is sterile and, there
fore, always safe. For use in iced
drinks, it is ideal.
Following are several formulas used
in the manufacture Of iced beverages
If these formulas are followed reig-
iOusly, the results will be found to be
very satisfactory.
Chocolate Matted Milk.

The suggestion has been made that
there should be a school organized for
teaching business men a philosophy of
life.
Probably business men already have
a philosophic perspective ON life equal
to that Of any other group. Few peo-
pie take the trouble to think out what
they are here for, or whittier they are
going.
However, business men so often have
it within their power to control the
fortunes of so many others that it
seems particularly desirable that they
should think clearly and intelligently
on the broadcast and deepest questions,
i'm order that their decisions may be
tempered by understanding.
For instance, after a man has read
''The Mind in the Making" or THE
Outline of History" he is less inclined
to think that the entire burden of
civilization rests on his shoulders.
Lincoln Steffens, after years of acti-
witty in behalf of civilization, rested
from his labors, and finally made a
public confession in which he said it
was a shock to discover that the world
did not fall to pieces when he let go.
For years he was afraid not to do
his part in every uplift movement,
fearing that the consequences of any
shirking would be extremely serious.
But, 10 and behold, she quit one day,
and the next morning the sun rose at
the usual time, and his milk and grOc-
cries were also delivered on time He
spent that evening at home with his
family, and a few weeks later he went
with them on vacation. He contin-
ued to eat three meals day, trains
operated on schedule, everything was
"as usual"
Mr.. Steifens became happy, care
free man. His pride was slightly in
jured, Of course, but he soon recover
ed from that.
So it is with many Of us. We Won
der what would happen if we let go
for single moment. Possibly the con-
sequences might be no more serious
than they were in the case of Mr..
Steffens. who was for so many years
a hardworking defender of civiliza-
ton
This is tough old world. The
man who studies it, digs into it, and
views it from all sides, finally ceases
to fear IT, He grows to trust it. even
to love it, He may try to guide it,
but he doesn't attempt to master it.

investment. They have increased but

and reduced production costs; they

farm income last year averaged S2.471.
or better than 5000 a month, which is
