In the days of McKinley and Hanna we heard ‘There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight, but since those stirring times there has been a dearth of inspiring songs.

It is rumored that the common councils of Philadelphia and Lancaster, Pa., are both ready to offer the Government the use of build- ings there, and that other cities in the | States north of the District of Columbia are eager to have the Government come there.

The original was made of cream-colored round- thread linen. It had crescents of pale and dark green linen appliqued about the bottom of the skirt and at the neck. The dark-green crescent be- came the front of the yoke. The lighter_green ones shaped themselves over the shoulders. The dark green made the center back yoke also.

The haircut should follow the general contour of the head and sha ed necks should never, never be allowed.

Evaporated Milk. Evaporated milk has come into promi- nence within recent vears because of its advantages in feeding infants. It is easy to obtain everywhere, is of uniform quality and because of its sterilization and heating the milk curds are very fine and the fat is homogenized and not easily separated out. Evaporated milk | is_fluid. unsweetened milk, and needs only the addition of an cqual quantity of boiled water to make it the equal of fresh cows’ milk. Because of its cooke |, ing it lacks some essential vitamins, but these are replaced in the child's diet by the use of orange or tomato juice. Good dairy milk is impossible to obtain in many communities, and evaporated milx is a valuable substitue for it. | Use of Lactic Acid.
