@. Does the specialization of honey
indicate an adulterated product
M. A. H.
A. Granulation does not imply adult
teration. The truth Is that crystalliza-
ton Is more likely to occur in pure than
in impure Moneys, and some pure va
rieties. especially alfalfa honeys, granu-
late so easily that they are often sold
to the consumer in solid form. The
crystals can be easily dissolved by heat

nation of a national sorority. There

fishing any sort of sorority or fra

Of a fraternity comes into their minds

January Respite.
Golden sunshine for q while!
January brought a smile
Like the smiles that Summer wore
In those happy days Of yore.
Now the seasons take a chance
And extend a small advance.

All their prospects for the Spring.
Skies will hover gray and chill:
Storms will sweep across the hill.
Where's that golden day?" We moan
