Marcus Kessler, of Peoria, upon
whom a corn flake lay none too light
ly, retired fearlessly after three por
tions of pudding a la Cadillac and a
very black demi-tasse. For the first
time In half a year of months, Mrs.
Kessler slept as sweetly as a night
curse on duty.
At Mrs. Kessler rocked on the great
veranda ber fingers flashed busily
through the Intricacies' bf 'crochet,
sunlight teasing at her needle." A smile

In ber pattern, and presently a sha

glanced up, still smiling'.''1''"
"Good morning, Mrs1. Wa'shauerl"
"Good morning, Mrs. , Kessler! I
thought I was the only party bird."
"Indeed, no! Stce seven I been up
and downstairs with uiy crochet
That's what a good night my husband
tiad. Sit down by me, Mrs. Washauer,
and be socluble."
"I Bee, Mrs. Kessler, you do the rose
pattern, too." She screwed herself
with a rustling of black taffeta Into a
-porch chair, laying her short anus out
full along the sides.
"Yes, my husband feels so much
better, I got the heart right away to
tuke up my fancy work aguln. Lace
edging for Delia's shirtwaist I make."
"I never, Mrs. Kessler, seen a man
improve more as your husliund."
( "iVhen I tell you. Mrs. Washauer,
that when we cutne here little more
as a week ago, every time what- I
looked at that man I busted right out
crying, you can know how he looked."
"Say, wasn't my own husband for
two years such a yellow In color we
didn't expect him to live? For twenty-one
months, Mrs. Kessler, to sit
down to our table at home was like
to sit down to a funeral, ou such a
diet he was."
"Don't I know, Mrs. Washauer! My

hollered so at me I was ashamed for
the neighbors, when one night ut sup

"Say, you can see for yourself, Mrs.
Kessler, how even the big millionaires

"1 should say so! Right next to our

Van Uiti out of the newspapers, with
her yellow hair so murceled, and eyes

"Cut how plain them big bugs are,

not so much as a diamond bracelet

-"Always at night she makes up for

"When you come right down to It,
I can tell you there's a few million
dollar sleeps every night under this
roof. Tom Riley, himself, to begin
with. And they say, Mrs. Kessler,
this hotel ain't one-third his holdings."
'You don't say so! Like to own
such a gorgeous hotel alu't enough

A large ruminative sigh escaped
Mrs. Washauer somewhere from the
deep recesses' of ber. She was tilting
.vjoleutly her Jteud pat back against
the rocker back.
"Yes, yes. Mrs. Kessler, a few mil
lionaires lay their heads down under
this roof every night: Tom Riley.

"Ach, I alw ays forget I You know

Mrs. Washauer threw a wide gest

Mrs. Kessler, Just for fun when you

"Ain't It so? I always say a young
man like that who, they say, never
sowed any wild oats and was so good
to his mother while she lived, and on
top of It all to- have built up all atone

"I know, nice people, too. I can
only say about Max Ganz maybe his
digestion ain't so good, but, say, like
he said himself last night, a good wife
can make It better. Eh, Mrs. Kessler,
eh?"
"Ach, Mrs. Washauer, you you're a
great one to make fun ! My Delia ain't
got such thoughts yet. Like I say to
her papa, 'she's so full of life, that
girl, it's a shame she should ever got

"Relieve me, with such a match she

" "It's Just a pleasure to see that girl.
Mrs. Kessler, hardly her feet toucb

"It ain't nothing the way she Is

when her papa was too sick to hold

bird to drink, for the matlnal kiss.
"Morning, mommy dear! Morning,

"Down by the spring already for his
Second glass."
Then he feels better?"
"Cross like a bear, that's how good
he feels. Such a grand night he had.

Here, wait for me. Lax Lazl" And
she waddled off, the rocker released

Miss Kessler perched herself on the

milk and cream a safe food for human
consumption. During- the warm sum
mer months we received a certai'
amount of cream that is quite sour and
were it not for present day scientific
methods we would be compelled to turn
out a poor quality of butter. The
creamery with its special equipment is
able to turn out a much superior grade
of butter than the average farmer. R
first practically reducing- the aculity of
the cream we submit it to high tei
peratures ami kill practically all of

process is known as pasteurization and

acid bacteria. After the cream is
again cooled it is innoculated with a
special lactic acid culture which we
ifolate and develop with special care.
In this way we destroy all the injur
ious forms of bacteria and then put
back into the cream a useful form of
organism which is very essential in
butter making and which greatly j .
proves the keeping qualities of the
butter.
Until recent years very little lias
been known about the exceptionally
high food value of milk as a human
food. However, science has taught us
by many feeding experiments and re
search work that milk and it' products
is absolutely essential to child welfare
and body maintenance.
Milk Important In Diet.
Milk is especially important in the
diet of growing children because it
contains, in correct proportions all the
food material needed lor growing
bones and muscle tissue. As far back
as 1912 Dr. McCullom of Johns Hop
kins university made the d.scovery
that he could with a certain diet secure
growth of young animals when h:
butterfat in it, but the same food mix
ture would not support growth when
lard or olive oil was used instead. This
was the first evidence that fats in our
foods are not of equal value. It was
also determined at this time that fats
of KST yolk had the same positive ef-

of which would be otherwise wasted,
into a perfect food and high priced
product.. It is estimated by Profesror
Erf, Ohio experiment station that a
dairy cow produces as much food dur
ing her life as do seventeen steers.
The meat of one cow will furnish a
sufficient amount of beef for two sol
diers for a year while the milk from
one eood dairy cow will Fupply an
equal value for twenty soldiers for a
ear.

There are the other WRIGLEY
friends to choose from, too:
of disease producing types. For this
rea.'on it is vitally important that nil
milk should be pioduced under the
no.-.t strict sanitary conditions. From
the time milk is drawn from the cow
until final consumption it is constant
ly subject to the intorductlon of germ
life. Observation has shown that each
drop of milk under average conditions
is seeded with at least 2,500 bacteria
or approximately 50,004 per be
tween the time it is drawn from he
cow ami finally bottled in the city
plant. To combat with the injurious
effect which might come from milk
most of the large cities in the United
States have what is known as u milk
ordinance which requires all milk to
be either pasteurized or certified.
"The dairy industry 13 not only con
fronted with the problem of producing
the most important food to the nation,
but also a food which must le pro

tions in oixler to make it safe for the
consuming public."
Colonel Mahcr Speaks.
Lion Abegg then introduced Colonel
John G. Maher of Lincoln, who was
the guest of Lion O'Keefe. Co!onel
Maher told of early day: in Box Butte
county nnd other parts of western Ne
braska, having been a pioneer here.
His talk, which lasted futeen minutes,
was one of the most interesting ever
heard by the local club, and included
the following points "Hard T'mos"

develop startling changes in coming
months'; Box Butte county land will
produce as heavily as eastern Nebras
ka; this country is on the verge of a
great boom ; money will be loaned ver
soon in eastern Nebraska at 5 per cent
and here at 6 per cent; the men and
women who laid the foundations of
western Nebraska are heroes the same
as the men who fought in the great
war. At the close of his talk, Lion
LeRoy Gregg stated that he had been
in Box Butte county for thirty-seven
years.
W. L. Parson of Grand Island, ar
ciated with the Northwestern Bell
Telephone company and a guest of
Lion Basye, spoke for a few minutes
on accident prevention by the big cor
porations the Bett Telephone com
pany. United States Steel Corporation
and the big railroad companies. Thirty-nine
per cent of accidents are by un
skilled employees, said Mr. Parsons.
Ninety-seven per cent of the accidents
eaue loss of time. He told of the rapid
increase in the phone company line
forces during the recent sleet storm
in central Nebraska, stating that the
company increased its force from 33

W. L. Stele of Sioux City, a guest
of Lion John Guthire, was presented
by Lion Abegg and made a short talk
with some good stories.
The new cub member Tom Carney,
was presented and made his "speech
of entry" which was roundly applauded
by his fellow Lions. "I believe," said
he, "that my association with you fel
low Lions will make me more fit to
give better service to the Lions and
