November 7, 1916.
Society slept late this morning. Un
til the last moment the; shot out the
restless, insidious poison which fills
the air. Gray clouds hover darkly
over the city, clouds which perhfps
have suspended their gloomy brooding
over Shadow Lawn.
Like lightning flashes in the over
cast sky are the excitements of the
citizens. Bets are making half the
men of the town wildly hilarious S)
sunny irriiaDie. ; Ana women are in
volved, for only yesterday a young
woman well known in social circles,
whose name I withhold upon request,
confided that a friend had just sent her
a telegram asking her to place a de
cent little bet for him. She did.
Women are at the polls in unprec-
' edented numbers. A handsome so
ciety matron whom I saw not an hour
ago remarked upon it, "Women are at
all the polls passing out cards and
urging everyone to vote. I don't like
1 the looks ot it, do vou? To see women
standing there with men doesn't seem
just right."
But women are voting today. Our
club editor aid it, and she's not the
only one. It's exciting business why
didn't you argue the family out of
the house, and preen yourself and
thrill, when1 you cast your first vote?
By tonight we will all be keyed to
such a pitch of excitement that the
city will be seething. The gentleman
who almost collided with me down
town last night realized the situation
and sought sweet oblivion. Some
will celebrate' alone, call afThe Bee
for first returns and go quietly home.
One of Omaha's inner set said the
other day, "We never have engage
ments on election night. My hus
band wants that evening to himself."
But the majority of society wilt fol
low a program of dinner, vaudeville,
supper and supper dance, with elec
tion returns mingled with it all. .

Milk as Food.
The cornmonly accepted statement
that milk is a very valuable food de
pends upon the fact that milk con
tains all the foodstuffs in excellent
proportion. Further than that, the
foodstuffs found in milk, though not
in great quantities', are of a kind which
are particularly valuable in nutrition.
Thus the fat occurs in an emulsified
or finely divided form, which is more
easily digested than solid fat; the
sugar is much less liable to ferment
than is cane sugar, and the ash is par
ticularly good in building up the bony
structure of the body. Also the food
stuffs of milk are very satisfactory for
growth, therefore, milk is an absolute
necessity for the baby, and almost a
necessity to the growing boy and girl.
Whole milk, or milk without the
cream removed, contains aGout 4 per
cent fat, 3.3 per cent protein, S per
cent corbohydrates, 7 per cent ash,
and 87 per cent water. Skim milk,
which most of us would scorn as
food, has a very similar composition
except the amount of fat, and is a very
valuable food considering its price.
Our objection to it is based upon its
lack of rich flavor; but it is very satis
factory when combined' with other
foods. Cream, because of its high fat
content, gives more heat units in pro
portion to weight than whole or skim
milk. Buttermilk, a by-product of
churning, is similar to skim milk in
composition. It is a valuable-food,
but I imagine its medicinal powers
have been overestimated.
While we appreciate the food value
of pure fresh milk, we must not over
look the positive dangers of impure
and unsanitary milk. Bacteria, which
may cause' disease, flourish in milk
under ordinary conditions. The milk
man's care is scrupulous cleanliness
to see that the bacteria do not enter
tho milk. They may enter through
the dusts of the stable, dirt on the
cow or on the hands of the milker
or handler of the milk, or even
through the water used to wash the
utensils.
We find on the market raw or mar
ket milk, which moans milk sold by
the ordinary "milkman who has
exercised reasonable precautions and
cleanliness. We may also obtain "cer
tified milk, which means milk put
out under unusual conditions of clean
liness, and by workers who are ex
amined medicallv. The cows of a
certified dairy are tested more ofte
for tuberculosis, and are kept excep
tionally clean and healthy. The regu
lations ot a certineo dairy are indi
rectly under the supervision of the
American Medical association. ' Certi
fied milk costs about 10 cents per
quart.
Certain firms oasteurize the milk.
The pasteurization process consists of
heating the' milk to a point below
hoilinar. keening at that temperature
for twenty minutes, and then rapidly
cooling the milk. The object is to
kill any disease bacteria which may
be present. This process does not
affect the flavor of the milk as boiling
does. Boilid or sterilized milk can
not be purchased, but is sometimes
prepared at nome. its navor n

gested, but it certainly is safe. Under
ordinary conditions' Douing is l
necessary.

is published in the daily papers every

others meeting the same problems.
dairy with a good rating, there are
certain precautions which should be
practised in the home. We cannot
change the number of bacteria which
are present when the milk reaches our
houses, but we can prevent the en
trance of other bacteria or the multi
plying of those which are already
present. The entrance of other bac
rteria may be guarded against by
keeping the milk in the original bottle
until used, by washing the top of the
bottle before opening, and by keeping
the bottle closed. After the paste
board cap is punctured, an inverted
glass makes a good cover.
Another important household pre
caution is to keep the milk cold. Ba
teria are not killed by cold, but
neither do they flourish in a cool
atmosphere. The housewife who pat
ronizes a safe dairy; who keeps her
milk absolutely clean and cold is fur
nishing her family with a valuable
food 'and the jise of milk should be
encouraged even at the present cost.
The housewife who must count every
penny and every half-penny should
exercise the same precautions, but
should utilize skim milk, especially
for cooking.

Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Don't Go.
Dear M1m Fairfax: There 1b a younf
man employed whero I am, who haa akd
me aeveral timea to go out with htm. Now,
he haa every intention of becoming en
gaged to another girl, the first of the new
ear, whom I have met. 1 told him It waa
wrong for him to ask me to go out witlt
Him, but he said it waa all right, he could
do what he felt like, and he still persists
in asking me to go out with him.
I am considered very good looking and
have many frienda. I like this young man
very much but would not for the world
encourage his attentions so as to discourage
him towards the pother girl. WORRIED.
Have nothing more to riV with him.
To all intents and purposes he is
engaged and it is not only rather dis
honorable for him to want to go
about witl another girl but the crit
icism of that "other girl" will be-jeer-ing
and unkind when his engagement
is announced. It is fair neither to
the girl he loves nor to you for him
to ask you to go about with him.
Since his sense of fair play is not
.going to protect either of you, you
musV assert your xommon sense and
dignity

feelings have not changed.
We have set a date for the wedding en
several occasions, but each time I post

action, and as my fiance indulges me great
