Chi]dren's Breakfast Drink.

Mary, do you drink milk every
dayo" I asked a 10-year-old schoolgirl.
Il don't drink milk any more, now
that the weather is chilly. Mother
thinks we should have hot drink in
the morning, so she~gives us coffee
Mother has not been buying milk late
ly. We used to drink milk in the sum-
mer, but now we need hot drink at
breakfast"
When Mary's resistance has been
lowered through improper diet and
Mary begins to look scrawny, be
nervous and maybe have sick spell,
Mary's mother will wonder why Mary
is "ailing''
Mary is never sick in the Summer
but when she starts to school she gen
orally gets run down" thinks Marys
mother. She will never compare the
taking away of Marys milk to pulling
out the bricks of a houses founda-
tion. One quart of milk equals one
brick. two quarts of milk two bricks
If Mary's mother pulled 80 bricks out
OF the cellar of her house she would
have a sizable hole. Wind. rain and
Winter snow would probably wreck
tho house hy Spring. Wind. rain and
Winter snow. playing upon 1O-year-
Old Mary. might wreck her with in
f1uenza or pneumonia by Spring.
Such violation of the rule of child
feeding as to cut out milk completely
from the diet is sure to be accom-
panied hy other violations.
Taking away the milk and giving
MAN coffee is a double sin. This par
ticuAr family drinks the coffee black
Mary tells me. so there is not even a
little bit Of cream for the children
This is. of course. unusual. But even
coffee well diluted with milk should
not be given children. The caffein
and tannic acid are very harmful.
They are stimulating, causing ner-
vouSness. They excite the acid-form-
ing glands and are cause Of indiges-
ton. Coffee has no food value. and at
first trial every onc thinks the taste
bitter. Children should not be taught
to like coffee. 1t is unusual to hear
Of a whole family drinking black cot
fee. II is not unusual. as it should be,
to hear of other families giving chill
dren coffee to drink.
Plain milk is really the best drink
for children. even on cold morning
Milk should never he taken ice cold

youngsters on cold day, but it should
not be boiled.
Most cereal coffees are harmful be-
cause they contain tannic acid. even

Of an ensemble-so there has not been
much effect Of breaking of the line
no more In fact than would be the
case with long overdra perry
The sketch shows the shorter coat
of fur-and here we really do have
the dreaded breaking of the line-be-
cause the coat is worn with a plaid
skirt that contrasts quite strongly.
The question Of skirt lengths in
general is one that is bound to he re-
vived within few months. 1t
is. in fact. already discussed in some
quarters. Cautious women are be-
ginning to wonder whether they
ought to have their new frocks made
with skirts as short AS those they
have been wearing. They seem to
fear a sudden lengthening Of skirts
that will leave them like the old
woman who went to the market he,
eggs for to sell--feelng as If her pet
ticoats had heen cut all roundabout.
There really is no occasion for alarm.
There will be no sudden dropping of
skirt hens. Smartness demands skirts
that are as short as ever for daytime
wear Evening frocks are sometimes
longer-but this length is usually part
of the irregular overdrapery.

A Flathead Tragedy

this 'Flathead Facts" contains an account
Of a tragedy Of those early days.
A with other localities" the article
says, "sceens of a desperate nature have
been enacted in this land, the tragedy here
stated being particularly a memorable Ones
Jack Allen, Neil Campbell and Tom No
Ian, all well-knOwn old timers Of MissOUla
county, were passing with a fine band OF
horses bound from the northwest country,
and they camped within a few feet Of Sc
lish. During the night they drank freely
Of liquor. In the morning the best horse
they had was missing, a race animal, which
they felt convinced was cached, as after
wards proved to be the case. Upon recOv-
ering the horse the party made ready for .
start. Allen was a little quarrelsOme, how
ever, and between him and Jack Finley h0t
words passed, knives were quickly drawn
and Finley crossed the river into that Un-
known. There was a great excitement. The
Indians met aud Chief AEneas demanded
that Jack Allen should be turned over TO
him., promising to deliver him to the Sner-
if at MissOula. The demand was not ae-
coded to and the party proceeded on theiR
way. Allen was a gentleman when sober
a maniac when under the influence OF IL
quOr. The Indian made a shortcut and
soon brave Jack was shot down from am
bush. The Indians then told the rest OF
the party they could go ahead and would
not be mOlested by them any further. But
a strange fatality seems to have attended
the whole party. When crossing the Bone
river it appears some Of the horses turn
ed back. Nolan, an excellent rider, went to
head them back when his horse turned OV-
er in a sort Of sOmersault style. Campbell
seeing Nolan's danger at once rushed to
his assistance. Campbell's horse per-
formed the same act and both brave men
were drowned and the waters Of that creek
still chant their requiem. Was there nO1
a fatality about that expedition?

However, throughout this apparent
