M.:—i, The milk bottles that are used for infant feeding can be thoroughly cleans dd by rinsing first with cold water, then washing with hot soapsuds and a clean bottle brush. Rinse the bottles both inside and out- side in an abundance of flowing clean water, preferably under the cold''water faucet; examine each bottle to see there is no cloudiness or speck re maining. Then place in a bottle rack and set in a moderately hot oven for an hour. The- bottles will be sterile and fit for use. Bottles may also be put over a fire in a boiler filled with cold water, to boil .for half an hour after which they should be carefully drained and kept dust -free. But the oven method is preferable. Cool the oven slightly by opening the door a few minutes before removing the bot- tles; this will prevent -the cracking that flight result on sudden exposure to the colder air of the room. 2.

For this the players sit in a circle and there must be a leader, who tells a story. The story teller goes very rapidly, invent- ing as he goes along, and suddenly and frequently introducing the phrase "change places." No attention must be paid to this unless he adds, "The King is here." Then all must jump up and try to take different seats. In the confusion the leader tries to slip into a seat, and then the one left without a place has to start a story. It adds much to the excitement if the leader sometimes seems on the brink of giving the sentence which means a general move, such as "Change places, the King—will come sow.," or some- thing" else of royal news, to which no attentioh should be paid.' gel seg Symptoms of acute indigestion are: uneasiness, lying down and rising, op - Pressed breathing, eructations of gc ses or attempts to vomit, pain usually continuous but varying in in- tensity. .

This may be readily accepted when it is known that one cow, without a,pedigree, sold for $210 on her record as a milk -producer. To give proper care to milk you must have the equipment with which to do it. The dairyman is keeping his cows on expensive land. He is selling all of his crops through them.
